"Creak …" Han Bin pushed the door open and walked into the classroom.
"Xiaopeng, you're in charge of recording. I'll interrogate him."
"Yes."
Sun Xiaopeng responded and put two desks together to form an interrogation table.
Han Bin moved a chair and sat opposite Song Zhixun.
Sun Xiaopeng also sat down and turned on the law enforcement recorder.
Li Hui also walked in. He closed the classroom door and stood by the side to listen.
Han Bin flipped open the notebook. Before he could speak, Song Zhixun took the initiative to speak, "Officer, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Han."
"Officer Han, let me first apologize for my bad attitude. At the same time, I also want to express my gratitude." Song Zhixun stood up and bowed to Han Bin.
Han Bin waved his hand and gestured for him to sit down. "What do you want to thank me for?"
"Thank you for saving my face," Song Zhixun said.
When they returned to school, Han Bin didn't detain Song Zhixun like a criminal. Instead, he secretly brought him back to the classroom. Song Zhixun's classmates and teachers wouldn't know that he was interrogated by the police.
"The police are also people. Understanding is mutual." After Han Bin finished, he began his routine questioning. "Name, gender …"
"Song Zhixun, male …"
"Song Zhixun, do you know why I asked you to come?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't know."
"October 6th, between five and twelve o 'clock in the evening. Where were you?"
"I was at home."
"Who can testify?"
"My parents and my sister," Song Zhixun answered and asked, "Officer, why did you ask me to come?"
"This morning, a dead body was found in the woods near the school pond. Do you know about it?" Han Bin asked.
"I heard my classmates talk about it, but I don't know much. What does it have to do with me?" Song Zhixun asked.
"When did you return to school?" Han Bin asked.
"Around nine this morning."
"The police were still dealing with the scene at that time. Didn't you go and take a look?"
"I was tidying up in the dormitory and didn't know about it. I only heard about it from my classmates later. Besides, I'm a timid person. Even if I knew, I wouldn't dare to go," Song Zhixun said with his head down.
"Raise your head," Han Bin reminded her and continued to ask, "Do you know who the victim is?"
"I don't know."
"Do you know Peng Yongren?"
"I … know him."
"What's the relationship?"
"We were high school classmates and university alumni."
Han Bin made a note in his notebook and continued to ask, "Have you seen each other recently?"
Song Zhixun looked at his hands. "No."
"Have you contacted him by phone?"
"Oh, we did call each other." Song Zhixun didn't hide it.
"What did you guys talk about?"
"Nonsense."
"You've called me more than once in the past few days," Han Bin probed.
"Hey, he broke up with his girlfriend and complained to me about it. I was afraid that he would be too sad and emotionally unstable, so I took the initiative to call him to comfort him."
"Nothing else?"
"No," Song Zhixun answered and asked, "Officer Han, why did you ask me to come here?"
"The victim in the woods is Peng Yongren," Han Bin said.
"Peng Yongren is dead," Song Zhixun muttered.
Han Bin had been observing him. "You're not surprised by Peng Yongren's death at all?"
"I already knew that someone died at school. I heard others talk about it for a day. The police must have come to the school for this matter. You guys also asked me about Peng Yongren, so I more or less guessed it."
"What do you think about Peng Yongren's death?" Han Bin made a note in his notebook again.
"It's quite a pity. After all, we've known each other for so many years. It's a bit sad that he's gone just like that." Song Zhixun sighed.
"What do you think of Peng Yongren?"
"Officer Han, what do you mean? You can't be thinking that I killed Peng Yongren, right?" Song Zhixun said with some dissatisfaction.
"We, the police, just want to investigate clearly and prove your innocence," Han Bin explained.
"I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean prove my innocence? What does this case have to do with me? Just because we talked on the phone, you're saying that I'm the murderer!" Song Zhixun seemed very agitated. He clenched his fist and questioned loudly.
"It has nothing to do with you. Why are you lying?" Han Bin said coldly.
"Officer Han, you can't slander me. I've been cooperating with your work," Song Zhixun shouted.
"This morning at eleven o 'clock, I saw you at the crime scene, but you said you didn't go there. If this isn't a lie, then what is?" Han Bin snorted.
"You saw wrongly. That wasn't me." Song Zhixun turned his head to the side.
"I remember very clearly that you were standing in the second row. You were wearing a white baseball cap and a dark blue t-shirt. On your right was a girl wearing glasses. Am I right?" Han Bin's observation was very strong. As long as he observed once, it would leave an impression in his mind.
Song Zhixun's face became very ugly. "You … How could you remember me? I've already …"
He had indeed been to the crime scene. He even deliberately wore a white baseball cap. When he came back, not only did he take off the cap, but he also changed his clothes. He didn't expect that Han Bin could still recognize him.
Sun Xiaopeng first showed a look of admiration. Then, his face became serious. He slammed the table with his palm-leaf-sized palm.
"Pa! Song Zhixun, why did you lie? "
Song Zhixun lowered his head and didn't answer.
"Song Zhixun, don't think that you can get away with it. There were so many police officers at the scene. There must have been a law enforcement camera that recorded you. You're legally responsible for perjury," Han Bin warned.
"I … I …" Song Zhixun was so scared that his face turned pale. He stammered, "I did go to the crime scene."
"Why did you lie?"
"I saw the dead body. It was very swollen. It was very scary. I was afraid that if you knew that I went to the crime scene, I would recall the scene. I'm scared. I really didn't mean to lie," Song Zhixun explained.
"Do you think the police will believe such a lame reason?" Sun Xiaopeng scolded.
"I'm telling the truth."
"You are indeed afraid. But you're not afraid to recall the incident. You're afraid that the police will suspect you as the murderer," Han Bin said sternly.
"Don't joke around. How can I be the murderer? I'm not." Song Zhixun hurriedly waved his hand.
"Song Zhixun, you promised to cooperate with the police at the restaurant. I've already reduced my suspicion on you. Unfortunately, you look honest, but in fact, you have a lot of thoughts. You've been lying to the police," Han Bin said.
"I didn't. I really didn't." Song Zhixun cried.
"Did you kill Peng Yongren?" Han Bin asked sternly.
"Officer Han, you can't frame a good person. What evidence do you have? How can you accuse me of murder!" Song Zhixun was anxious and stood up.
Sun Xiaopeng also stood up. He pointed at Song Zhixun and shouted, "Sit down."
"The light blue rope tied to Peng Yongren's body is the evidence. The rope is the murder tool, and that rope belongs to you."
"How can you say that the rope belongs to me?" Song Zhixun clenched his fist.
Han Bin stood up and walked to Song Zhixun's side. He took out a photo from his pocket and threw it on the table in front of Song Zhixun. "Is it you?"
Song Zhixun took a look at the photo and immediately burst into tears. "Sob sob …"
"Handcuff him," Han Bin ordered.
Song Zhixun was full of lies. It was very likely that he was the murderer. Moreover, his false testimony was enough to convict him of perjury.
From a safety point of view, it was necessary to handcuff him.
"I'm not the murderer. I didn't kill anyone!" Song Zhixun wanted to resist, but Sun Xiaopeng and Li Hui held him from both sides. He couldn't move at all.
"Then can you explain why the rope you bought became the murder weapon that killed Peng Yongren?"
Song Zhixun wiped his tears and snot. "He was the one who asked me to buy it."
"Why was the rope you bought tied to him?"
"I gave it to him."
Han Bin twirled his pen. "Didn't you say that you haven't seen him recently?"
"I, I … I'm sorry. I was afraid that you would know about the rope, so I didn't dare to admit to meeting him," Song Zhixun defended himself.
"I gave him the rope on October 5th. It really has nothing to do with me."
"You mean, he committed suicide?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes, it's possible." Song Zhixun nodded frantically.
"Yes, my ass. Why did you tie yourself to a tree for me to see?"
"Even if someone tied him up, it wasn't me. I don't have the guts to do that," Song Zhixun shouted.
"If this case has nothing to do with you, why did you buy the rope for him?" Han Bin asked.
"He forced me to buy it."
"How did he force you?"
"We were high school classmates. When we were in high school, he bullied me. I was fat at that time, so he nicknamed me Pig Face. He even pinched my face in front of my classmates and mocked me. I've always been very afraid of him. I didn't expect to go to the same university as him. If I had known, I would have enrolled in a worse university. Sob …" Song Zhixun choked.
"The rope isn't worth much. Why did he ask you to buy it?"
"He said that he was beaten and didn't want to go out. Moreover, his girlfriend stole his money. He has no money now, so he asked me to buy it for him."
"Who beat him?"
"I didn't dare to ask."
"You're not small. Why are you so timid?"
"Officer Han, you don't know Peng Yongren. That kid is very bad. He likes to bully honest classmates. Seeing that I'm fat, he ran away after hitting me. He bullied me because I couldn't catch up with him." Song Zhixun looked angry and recalled.
"Once in PE class, he kicked my butt and ran into a group of girls. I couldn't catch up with him. A group of girls laughed at me. Peng Yongren was very proud of himself. At that time, I really wanted to hide in a hole …"
"There were times when he didn't run away. Did you beat him in the classroom?"
"Peng Yongren is very clever. He has a sweet mouth and good grades. He's very good at flattering teachers. He also takes the initiative to flatter the students in the class who like to fight. How can I fight them alone?" Song Zhixun's face was full of helplessness.
Han Bin shook his head and continued to ask, "Other than the rope, did he ask you to buy anything else?"
Song Zhixun lowered his head and twisted his hands together. "No."
"Bam!" Han Bin slammed the table and pointed at Song Zhixun.
"You're still lying. You've lied to the police time and time again. I've already lost my patience with you. I can put you in jail for obstructing justice!"
Song Zhixun shivered and lowered his head even more.
Li Hui and Sun Xiaopeng were also a little surprised. "How many lies does this kid have?"
