"Say it."
"What … what do you want me to say?" Song Zhixun spread his hands.
"Say that you hid the case." Han Bin snorted.
"I didn't," Song Zhixun said with his head down.
"Every time you lied, you either lowered your head or looked to the side. You didn't even dare to look at me. How dare you say you didn't!" Han Bin scolded.
"If you don't explain clearly, we can't clear your name. We will investigate you as a suspect."
Song Zhixun raised his head and chin. "I'm innocent. I'm not afraid of your investigation."
"Cooperation is mutual. With your attitude, I can only do business." Han Bin got up and turned off the recorder.
"Take him back to the police station."
"No, I have to go to class tomorrow. Haven't I already cooperated with your investigation?" Song Zhixun grasped the table tightly.
"You don't have to go to class." Han Bin said coldly, "Not only you, but your teachers and classmates will also go to the police station to make statements tomorrow."
"This case has nothing to do with them. I'm still a student. You can't do this to me." Song Zhixun was trembling.
"You are an adult. A student is just a profession. If you respect the police, the police will naturally respect you. If you don't respect the police, we can only treat you as a suspect." Han Bin stood up and said to Li Hui and Sun Xiaopeng, "You watch him.
I'll apply for a search warrant. We'll search his dormitory and his home. "
"Please don't do this. If you do this, how can I go to school in the future? I'm really innocent," Song Zhixun begged.
Han Bin took out his phone and walked out of the classroom.
"Bang!" Song Zhixun knelt down.
"Officer Han, don't go. I'll talk. I'll tell you everything. I lied just now. I won't do it anymore."
Han Bin turned around. "Stand up. This is your last chance. Understand?"
"I understand. I understand. I'll tell you everything this time. I won't hide anything." Song Zhixun nodded as he spoke.
Han Bin sat on the chair again, turned on the recorder, and continued to ask, "Besides the rope, did Peng Yongren ask you to buy anything else?"
"Yes."
"What is it?"
Song Zhixun bit his lips and became silent again.
"Speak."
"Odorless mosquito repellent."
"Why did you lie just now?" Han Bin asked.
"I … He …" Song Zhixun was at a loss for words. "I heard that he was bitten to death by a mosquito, I …"
"Did you tamper with the odorless mosquito repellent?"
"I don't." Song Zhixun shook his head.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
"He called me on October 5th and asked me to buy rope and odorless mosquito repellent. I knew there was a hardware store near the school, so I went there to buy it. Then I went to the convenience store to buy mosquito repellent, but there was no odorless mosquito repellent in the convenience store. I went to several stores, but they were not available. Later, I bought a bottle of toilet water." Song Zhixun showed a touch of anger, clenched his fist and said,
"I sent the rope and floral water to school and saw Peng Yongren. He had been beaten, and there were bruises on his face. I didn't dare to ask more. I was going to give him the things and leave, but he got angry and scolded me for being stupid. He didn't want floral water, only odorless mosquito repellent, and asked me to buy it again."
"Why did he only want odorless mosquito repellent and not floral water?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't know." Song Zhixun shook his head, sighed, and continued to recall,
"I looked for a few convenience stores, but I couldn't find it, so I was going to buy a bottle online. As a result, he called the next day and said that I must buy it for him in the afternoon. Otherwise, he would tell my college classmates about my nickname and scandal in high school. But the express delivery couldn't arrive in a day. I really had no choice."
"Did you give him odorless mosquito repellent?" Han Bin probed.
Song Zhixun bit his lip, and after a long time, he squeezed out two words, "Yes."
"Fake?"
"It's not fake. It's real."
"Really? Why are you feeling guilty?" Han Bin retorted.
"I … My sister had a bottle of odorless mosquito repellent, but it had already been used. I really had no choice, and I didn't dare to give him half a bottle, so I added some water and gave it to Peng Yongren." Song Zhixun cried,
"I really didn't know what he was going to do, and I didn't expect him to be bitten to death by a mosquito. I'm really more wronged than Dou E."
…
Forty minutes later, Song Zhixun was escorted back to the police station.
He was too suspicious. Before the investigation was done, he could only be temporarily detained.
Zheng Kaixuan called the two teams to the conference room for a meeting and was very considerate to order takeout for everyone.
Each person had a hamburger, a portion of fries, and a hot drink.
Li Hui opened the lid and took a sip. It was milk. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face.
Li Hui's was a spicy chicken burger. When he took a bite, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was delicious. In just a few minutes, a hamburger had been eaten.
He drank a mouthful of hot milk and ate two fries. His heart was filled with joy.
"Alright, as usual. Let's talk about the case while we eat." Zheng Kaixuan took a sip of his hot drink.
"I'll tell you about the progress of Team One's investigation. In the afternoon, we recorded the statements of Peng Yongren's teachers and classmates. Some of the teachers and girls had a good impression of Peng Yongren, but some of the boys didn't like him." Zhao Ying flipped open the diary and glanced at it.
"Through the investigation, we found the victim's ex-girlfriend, Zhou Yuetong. They broke up a while ago because of a conflict. The victim returned to school early because Zhou Yuetong canceled the rental of the house they rented together. The victim came to Qin Island to deal with it."
"Can Zhou Yuetong's words be trusted?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
"We found Zhou Yuetong's landlord, Cao Xiaben. Their statements basically match. Although Zhou Yuetong had a conflict with the victim, there's no evidence that she had anything to do with Peng Yongren's death," Zhao Ying said.
"How's Team Two's investigation going?" Zheng Kaixuan asked.
Han Bin flipped open the diary and crossed out Cao Xiaben's name. "We caught a suspect, Song Zhixun. He's been taken to the police station for detention."
Han Bin walked to the projector and placed Song Zhixun's information on it. "The rope used to tie the victim was bought by Song Zhixun at a hardware store near the school. The odorless mosquito repellent found in the victim's cabinet was also given by Song Zhixun."
"What's the relationship between Song Zhixun and the victim?" Wei Zimo asked curiously.
"Song Zhixun and the victim were high school classmates. The victim often bullied Song Zhixun when they were in school, causing Song Zhixun to be afraid of him. According to Song Zhixun, the victim forced him to buy the rope and the odorless mosquito repellent," Han Bin said.
"The victim's parents gave him more than two thousand a month as living expenses. He wouldn't force others to buy things for such a small amount of money, right?" Sun Xing asked in confusion.
"Perhaps not in the past, but don't forget that his girlfriend checked out of the apartment. When I gave Cao Xiaben his statement, Cao Xiaben said that the victim wanted to continue renting the apartment and gave him more than two thousand on the same day. This statement coincides with the victim's lack of money," Zhao Ying analyzed.
"Song Zhixun also mentioned another detail. The victim wanted him to buy odorless mosquito repellent, and he only wanted odorless mosquito repellent. Song Zhixun couldn't buy it in a short period of time, so he took the half bottle of odorless mosquito repellent that his sister used and mixed it with water and gave it to the victim," Han Bin explained.
Zheng Kaixuan chewed on the fries with a thoughtful expression. There was a lot of information in Han Bin's words.
Why did the victim only want odorless mosquito repellent?
Other than his and the victim's fingerprints, the mosquito repellent that Song Zhixun gave him might also have Song Zhixun's sister's fingerprints.
The effectiveness of the mosquito repellent was greatly reduced after being mixed with water, which might be one of the indirect reasons for Peng Yongren's death.
Zhao Ying asked, "Does Song Zhixun have an alibi?"
Han Bin glanced at the diary and said, "According to his statement, he was at home between five and twelve in the afternoon on October 6th. His parents and sister can testify for him."
After a long time, Zheng Kaixuan said, "I'll also tell you something. The forensics team extracted the DNA of two people from the rope that was used to tie the victim. One is Peng Yongren's, and the other is likely to be the suspect's."
"The second situation is that there are three incomplete fingerprints on the bottle of odorless mosquito repellent. One of them is the victim's, and the other two have not been confirmed yet."
Zheng Kaixuan took a sip of his hot drink and continued, "I'm just telling you these two situations. The forensics team will be responsible for Song Zhixun's DNA and fingerprints. They will inform me immediately if there's any news."
"I suggest we send someone to confirm Song Zhixun's alibi and see if he committed the crime at any time," Zhao Ying suggested.
"Okay."
Zheng Kaixuan nodded. "Then send two people. The rest of you get off work and get some rest. Gather at the branch office at seven in the morning tomorrow."
"Captain Zheng, I'll leave it to you." Zhao Ying smiled bitterly.
The police were also people. Everyone had been busy the whole day and wanted to go home and rest early. Who was willing to work overtime?
Zheng Kaixuan swirled his hot drink and said, "Those who drink milk can get off work. Those who drink coffee can go and check Song Zhixun's alibi."
Instantly, some people were happy, while others were sad …
