Liang Zhibo lowered his head again and did not speak.
He had not been idle all these years when he was on the run. He had been studying criminal law. The current law was about innocence. As long as the police did not have evidence, they could not do anything to him.
No matter how reasonable Han Bin's words were, they were just reasoning. Without evidence, they could not convict him.
"Liang Zhibo, don't think you can get away with it. This case has been ten years, but the police have not been idle in these ten years. They have been collecting evidence related to the case. We now have enough evidence to prove that you are the murderer of the 715 case," Han Bin said coldly.
"Comrade police, don't scare me. If you have evidence, take it out." Liang Zhibo raised his head and glanced at Han Bin. He also wanted to know how much evidence the police had.
"You just said that you haven't been to Lv Jiawei's house?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes."
"Then why did we find your shoe prints in Lv Jiawei's house?"
"I can't remember which shoes I wore back then. What's more, there are many people who wear the same shoes. How can you say it's mine?" Liang Zhibo snorted.
"Everyone's body shape is different, the way they walk is different, and the characteristics of their footprints are also different. No matter what kind of shoes you wear, the characteristics of the footprints will not change. This has been confirmed by a footprint expert. It's useless to quibble," Han Bin said.
"Really? Then maybe I remembered it wrong. After all, it's been so long. Maybe I went to his house, but I forgot, "Liang Zhibo said.
Han Bin stared at Liang Zhibo for a while. He could roughly understand Liang Zhibo's thoughts. In the 715 case, there were three deaths and six injuries. Including the skeleton in Cao Erhu's house, Liang Zhibo had four lives on his hands. Even if he took the initiative to confess, it was very likely that he would be sentenced to death.
To put it simply, a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Han Bin got up and walked to the interrogation chair. He took out a photo from his pocket and said, "The fingerprint on the photo was found at the scene. The blood is Zhang Shufeng's, but the fingerprint's owner has not been able to be matched."
"After we caught you, we compared your fingerprint with this blood fingerprint and found that the fingerprint on your left ring finger was exactly the same as this blood fingerprint. How do you explain that?"
Liang Zhibo's hands trembled slightly. He quickly covered his left hand with his right hand and lowered his head.
"Bang!" Li Hui slammed the table and shouted, "Speak!"
"I don't know," Liang Zhibo said perfunctorily.
"You don't know. Let me tell you." Han Bin put away the photo and organized his words.
"After Zhang Shufeng was killed, her body was burned by the suspect. Zhang Shufeng's blood had already turned into ashes. The person who was stained with Zhang Shufeng's blood not only went to the crime scene, but was also there after Zhang Shufeng was killed and before her body was burned. In other words, this person is the murderer!"
Liang Zhibo's face instantly turned pale. This evidence was too fatal. Even if he continued to be stubborn, it could still be used as irrefutable evidence to conclude the case.
After he finished speaking, Han Bin did not rush him. He refilled his cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Since he had already captured the person, he had all the time in the world.
Time ticked by. Liang Zhibo lowered his head and remained silent for more than 40 minutes.
Han Bin and Li Hui sat opposite him and waited for him for a full 40 minutes.
Anyway, it did not matter where he was resting or not. Han Bin and Li Hui did not care.
The interrogation was like training an eagle. It could not be rushed.
"Ahem …" Liang Zhibo coughed lightly. "I want to drink water."
Han Bin nodded. Li Hui poured him a glass of water and brought it over.
Liang Zhibo drank the water in the cup in a few gulps. "The mutton soup in the morning tastes good, but it's a little salty."
"Pour him another cup."
"Thank you." Liang Zhibo said politely, "Police comrade, can I still drink mutton soup in the future?"
Han Bin looked at him for a moment. "That depends on your performance."
"I have been to the scene of the 715 case, but I did not kill Wang Jinbao and Zhang Shufeng," Liang Zhibo said.
"Then who killed them?"
Liang Zhibo hesitated for a moment. "Cao Erhu."
"Where is Cao Erhu?" Han Bin asked.
"Dead."
"Who killed Cao Erhu?"
"Cao Erhu knew that I was wanted by the police. He was afraid that I would be caught by the police and expose him, so he wanted to kill me. I resisted in self-defense and accidentally killed him. I really didn't do it on purpose." Liang Zhibo sighed.
"According to what you said, you are quite innocent," Li Hui said.
"Yes."
In Han Bin's view, Liang Zhibo was avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. The nature of the 715 case was too bad. Three people died and six were injured. Liang Zhibo must push the main responsibility to Cao Erhu and put himself in the position of an accomplice. That way, he might not be sentenced to death.
However, this was not a bad thing for the police. If Liang Zhibo wanted to cover up his lie, he could not avoid Cao Erhu's death. If he took the initiative to admit that he killed Cao Erhu, then Cao Erhu's case would be solved.
Liang Zhibo was a smart person.
"Why did you kill Wang Jinbao and Zhang Shufeng?" Han Bin asked.
"Actually, I didn't want to kill them. I was wronged." As if he was afraid that Han Bin and Li Hui wouldn't believe him, Liang Zhibo added, "Really."
"Then tell me, how should I be wronged?"
"I have known Wang Jinbao for a long time. He has a lot of connections and knows a lot of friends. He was the one who introduced me to Lv Jiawei's factory. In the end, the factory was built, but Lv Jiawei refused to pay the balance. It was not even enough to pay the workers' wages. How could I not be anxious?"
"Then you should be killing Lv Jiawei. Why did you kill Wang Jinbao?" Li Hui was puzzled.
"I said, I didn't want to kill anyone. I just wanted to collect the debt. Wang Jinbao is really a grandson. He didn't introduce me to the job out of kindness. He took my commission, and it was a huge sum of money. That was why he was willing to subcontract the job to me. He took the money, and I did the work, but he refused to pay. If I didn't look for him, who else could I look for?" Although many years had passed, Liang Zhibo was still angry when this matter was brought up.
"As for Lv Jiawei, I asked for it for a long time. At first, he told me to wait. Later, his factory stopped production, and he owed a lot of debt. He had no way to pay me back, so I found Wang Jinbao and asked him to help me ask for money from Lv Jiawei. Otherwise, he would return my referral fee."
Han Bin took a sip of tea and said, "Go on."
"I looked for Wang Jinbao a few times, but he refused to pay me back. He even threatened me that there were people in the underworld. If I dared to ask him for money again, he would get people in the underworld to deal with me. So I looked for Cao Erhu and asked him to help me get money. I would give him ten percent of the money."
At this point, Liang Zhibo couldn't help but sigh. "One night, the two of us followed Wang Jinbao, preparing to force him to return the money. In the end, we followed him and found out that this grandson had run to Lv Jiawei's house. The person who opened the door was Lv Jiawei's wife. The two of them hugged each other the moment they saw each other. I was dumbfounded."
"What happened next? What happened next?" Li Hui revealed a curious look.
"Later, Cao Erhu jumped into the yard and heard the two people in the house doing something. When I heard that, I was amused. I thought to myself, 'This grandson of a b * tch didn't want to pay up. This time, I caught you, so we barged in. Wang Jinbao and Zhang Shufeng were both naked, and they were scared out of their wits."
Han Bin knocked on the table and said in a serious tone, "Why did you kill him?"
"I asked Wang Jinbao for money, but I didn't expect this grandson to agree immediately. Later, I understood that when people are naked, they will feel guilty. It's a form of psychological pressure."
"Since Wang Jinbao agreed to pay, why did you still kill him?"
"It wasn't me who wanted to kill him. It was Cao Erhu who wanted to kill him." Liang Zhibo defended himself and continued, "When Wang Jinbao said that he would return the money, I didn't believe him at first. After all, it was only Lv Jiawei's house, not Wang Jinbao's. Guess what happened in the end?"
"Hurry up and tell me. Don't beat around the bush."
"Wang Jinbao dug out a box from the yard. There were stacks of red bills in it. There were at least hundreds of thousands of yuan. We were dumbfounded at the time. Wang Jinbao didn't keep so much money in his own house, but in Lv Jiawei's house," Liang Zhibo said with a sigh.
"I know why. Wang Jinbao is divorcing his wife, and Zhang Shufeng's son is Wang Jinbao's biological son. Even if Zhang Shufeng really took the money, he wouldn't lose anything," Li Hui said with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, I was wondering why the person who killed Wang Jinbao was later mistaken for Lv Jiawei. I thought you were doing it half-heartedly and didn't investigate carefully. It turns out that there is such a relationship."
"Bang, bang." Han Bin knocked on the table again. "Let's get down to business."
"Cao Erhu is just a gangster. He has never seen so much money before. He immediately became jealous and wanted to take all the money away. After all, it was the middle of the night and there was no witness. It didn't matter if he took ten thousand or one million. Who can say for sure?" Liang Zhibo showed a hint of bitterness.
"Think about it, Cao Erhu wanted the money. How could Wang Jinbao give it to him? At that time, they quarreled. Wang Jinbao said that he would rather his affair with Zhang Shufeng be discovered than give all the money to Cao Erhu. Cao Erhu went all the way and stabbed him with a knife. After stabbing him a few times, he immediately stopped breathing."
"What about Zhang Shufeng?"
"Zhang Shufeng was scared out of her wits. She wanted to scream, but I covered her mouth. Just as I didn't know what to do, Cao Erhu walked over and slit Zhang Shufeng's neck," Liang Zhibo recalled.
"Who set the fire?" Han Bin asked.
"Cao Erhu set the fire. I was scared out of my wits at that time. I just watched from the side. I didn't dare to stop him. I was afraid that he would kill me too," Liang Zhibo said.
"You're quite innocent. So the murder and arson were all done by Cao Erhu. You didn't do anything wrong," Han Bin snorted.
"Comrade police, what I said is true. I have a wife and a daughter. It's impossible for me to risk my life to commit murder and arson," Liang Zhibo said with a sincere face.
"Don't be so sure. Didn't you kill Cao Erhu?"
"That couldn't be helped. We ran to Cao Erhu's house with the money. At first, we didn't dare to go anywhere, so we hid in Cao Erhu's house. Two days later, Cao Erhu went out to inquire about the news and said that the police wanted me. From then on, Cao Erhu looked at me strangely."
"So, you made the first move and killed him?" Han Bin retorted.
"I didn't. One night, he was going to stab me with a knife. I discovered it in advance, so I ran out to the living room and took a fruit knife. I accidentally stabbed him to death," Liang Zhibo said, then added, "I didn't do that.
"Comrade police, please believe me. What I said is true."
"What did you do after you killed Cao Erhu?" Han Bin asked.
Liang Zhibo hesitated for a moment and said, "I burned the bloody clothes and items, then dug a hole in the yard and buried him."
"You're quite experienced," Li Hui joked.
"No, no, no. I was forced to do it. I did it to protect myself. It was self-defense!" Liang Zhibo shouted.
Han Bin shook his head. "Alright, don't shout so hard. It's useless to tell us this. Go and tell the judge."
