"Hey, isn't this Officer Han? You have to say something for me. I'm innocent," Tang Yu said.
Han Bin closed the door of the interrogation room and walked in. "Miss Tang, Xiang Hongbo has already confessed. Don't be so stubborn."
"You don't have to lie to me. I don't know anything. I'm innocent."
"Xiang Hongbo really did confess. He even told us the details of the case. If you don't cooperate, you'll only be more guilty."
Tang Yu bit her lip. "I thought you were different from the others."
"Then let me remind you," Han Bin said after a moment of silence.
"After dinner that night, you and Xiang Hongbo went back to your room to take a shower. Just as you were about to have sex, your phone rang. It was He Shirui. Am I right?"
Tang Yu's face darkened. Only she and Xiang Hongbo knew these details. She didn't tell anyone else, nor would she tell them.
"What else did he say?" Tang Yu asked.
"I've said everything I need to say. If you really want me to say it, you won't have a chance," Han Bin said.
"Tang Yu, with Xiang Hongbo as a witness, there's no point in quibbling," Zeng Ping snorted.
Tang Yu covered her face with both hands. After a moment of silence, she said, "What do you want me to say?"
"Who killed He Shirui?"
"Luo Xinghua," Tang Yu said.
"How do you know?"
"He Shirui called. We heard how she was killed. Luo Xinghua admitted it later."
"Why did you protect Luo Xinghua?"
"Xiang Hongbo is his good friend. We were just helping him," Tang Yu said.
"What about He Shirui? Isn't she your friend?" Tian Li asked.
"She's already dead. What's the point of saying all this?" Tang Yu said.
"When did He Shirui die?"
"Around nine at night."
"Around ten at night. The woman in a blue sleeveless dress disguised as He Shirui was you, right?" Han Bin asked.
"Xiang Hongbo told you?"
"Just tell me. Yes or no?"
Tang Yu hesitated for a long time. "Yes."
"Blackmailing Luo Xinghua for five hundred thousand was also your idea?" Han Bin probed.
"We didn't blackmail Luo Xinghua. He gave us hush money," Tang Yu said.
"That's not what Xiang Hongbo said."
"You don't have to trick me."
"That must be what Xiang Hongbo said," Tang Yu said with certainty.
On this point, the two's interests were aligned.
"You are He Shirui's friend. She was killed by Luo Xinghua. Not only did you not help to call the police, but you also helped Luo Xinghua to commit perjury. Can you live with your conscience?" Tian Li questioned.
Tang Yu let out a long sigh. "Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. He Shirui is the same."
"What did she do?"
Luo Xinghua paid for her. It's okay to spend a man's money as long as you want to be with him. If you spend his money but don't want to be with him, who can you blame? "Tang Yu snorted.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It's the same for everyone."
…
By the time they got Tang Yu's statement, it was already midnight.
With her and Xiang Hongbo's testimonies, it was enough to convict Luo Xinghua.
Han Bin and the others were exhausted after a busy day and didn't have enough energy to continue the interrogation.
Zheng Kaixuan told them to go home and rest.
The next morning, after Han Bin had recovered enough energy, he interrogated Luo Xinghua.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"Luo Xinghua, male, 24 years old, local."
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Luo Xinghua, did you kill He Shirui?"
"No."
"Where were you between 8 and 10 on August 24th?"
"I don't remember."
"You don't remember, or you don't dare to say."
"I don't remember."
"Then let me help you remember. On the night of August 24th, you rented a yacht and took He Shirui out to sea. Because of an argument, you pushed her into the sea and drowned her," Han Bin said.
Luo Xinghua lowered his head and gritted his teeth. "I didn't."
"We found debris under He Shirui's fingernails. After testing, it was paint from the yacht. We sent someone to check the yacht you rented, and the scratch marks on the bottom match," Han Bin said.
Luo Xinghua took a deep breath. "She fell into the sea on her own. It has nothing to do with me."
"Where did the bite marks on your left arm come from?" Han Bin asked.
"A dog bit me."
"Nonsense."
Li Hui scolded, "When we arrested you and brought you to the station, our forensic doctor did a test on you. The wound on your arm is exactly the same as He Shirui's bite marks. It's obvious that He Shirui bit you."
"Oh, I remember now. I think she bit me once."
"Why did she bite you?"
"Hitting is affection, scolding is love. Maybe she likes me too much," Luo Xinghua mocked.
"Luo Xinghua, if you confess, you'll be lenient. If you refuse to cooperate with the police, you'll die," Li Hui warned.
"Heh." Luo Xinghua sneered.
"Don't hold on to your wishful thinking. Xiang Hongbo and Tang Yu have already confessed. Both of them said very clearly that you killed He Shirui," Han Bin said.
"Impossible." Luo Xinghua shook his head. He felt that the two of them wouldn't dare to testify against him.
"They also said that in order to cover up the murder, you gave them five hundred thousand to keep their mouths shut," Han Bin said.
"That's them …" Luo Xinghua wanted to say that the two of them extorted him, but he held back.
"Compared to you, what they did is nothing. Moreover, they can redeem themselves by testifying against you. They don't have to bear the responsibility." Han Bin further disrupted their mentality.
"Pfft, don't try to trick me." Luo Xinghua spat.
"Luo Xinghua, watch your attitude," Li Hui scolded.
"Bullshit attitude. You just want to kill me," Luo Xinghua said.
"You don't believe that Tang Yu and Xiang Hongbo have confessed?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't believe it."
Han Bin stood up and walked to the interrogation chair. "After you killed He Shirui, you met up with Tang Yu and Xiang Hongbo at the beach and begged them not to call the police. At the same time, you promised them benefits. Tang Yu disguised herself as He Shirui and went to the bar to make it look like she's still alive."
"That's just your guess." Luo Xinghua snorted.
"Tang Yu said that the hat she wore that night was something you were going to give to He Shirui. In order to avoid being captured by the surveillance cameras, you asked Tang Yu to wear the hat to disguise herself as He Shirui. This isn't just a guess, is it?" Han Bin said.
Luo Xinghua's expression became very ugly. Only the three of them knew this detail. This meant that at least one of Tang Yu and Xiang Hongbo had confessed.
Once someone came forward to testify, with the current evidence, Luo Xinghua might really be finished.
"Luo Xinghua, what's the point of continuing at this time?" Han Bin asked.
Luo Xinghua lowered his head and said nothing.
"Are you going to speak or not?"
Luo Xinghua still remained silent.
"Since you don't want to speak, let's listen to a recording." Han Bin took out Tang Yu's phone and played the recording.
"Luo Xinghua, let go of me …"
"Shirui, what do you think I should do …"
"Xinghua, I know you're good to me …"
…
"I'll ask you again. Are you going to choose Mao Yiran or me?"
"Aiya, b * tch, how dare you bite me!"
…
"Stop playing and turn off the phone," Luo Xinghua shouted.
"Are you going to speak or not?" Han Bin asked.
"Ptui."
"If you don't speak, I'll keep the phone on so you can remember," Han Bin said.
After playing the recording for the first time, Luo Xinghua clenched his fists and his expression was very ugly.
The second time, Luo Xinghua broke out in a cold sweat and his body trembled slightly.
When the recording was played for the third time, Luo Xinghua finally couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Turn off the phone. I'll confess. I'll tell you everything!"
Han Bin struck while the iron was hot and asked, "How did He Shirui die?"
"I killed her."
