City Public Security Bureau, Interrogation Room.
After Han Bin brought Zhang Hang back to the police station, Captain Ding Xifeng decided to conduct a surprise interrogation to determine if the case was related to Zhu Weichao.
Zhang Hang was brought to the interrogation room and Ding Xifeng, Han Bin, and Bao Xing were in charge of the interrogation.
As soon as he entered the room, Ding Xifeng sized Zhang Hang up. As an experienced criminal investigator, even if Zhang Hang didn't speak, he could see some clues.
Han Bin asked softly, "Captain, do you want me to do it or do you want me to do it?"
"You do it." Ding Xifeng flipped open his notebook and there was a pen in it. Those who didn't know would think he was a recorder.
Han Bin also opened his notebook. There were some important situations and questions recorded in it.
"Name, gender, age, place of origin …"
"I'm Zhang Hang, male, 37 years old this year, local of Qingdao …"
Han Bin twirled the pen, "Do you know why I asked you to come?"
Zhang Hang hesitated for a moment, "I don't know."
Compared to when he was arrested, Zhang Hang's condition was much better. Even so, he looked like he was seriously ill.
"Where were you between 8 and 11 on the 4th of June?"
Zhang Hang still hesitated for a while before answering, "I was at home."
"Who can prove it?"
"My wife."
"Tell me what happened on the 4th of June?"
Zhang Hang thought for a while before saying, "I got home after work at around 6, then ate and slept. That's it."
"Did you go out after you got home from work?"
"No."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Han Bin wrote it down in the notebook and continued to ask, "Do you know Liu Lingzui?"
After a while, Zhang Hang nodded, "Yes."
"What's the relationship?"
"Friend."
"What friend?"
"Boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Aren't you married?"
"Yes, Liu Lingzui is my lover."
"How long have you known Liu Lingzui?"
"More than a year."
"How long have you been together?"
Zhang Hang thought for a moment, "About a year and two months."
"When was the last time you saw her?"
"2nd of June."
"The specific time?"
"2nd of June at 6 pm."
"Where did you see her?" Han Bin's questions seemed scattered, but in fact, every one of them was targeted. If the statements didn't match up, it proved that there was something wrong with Zhang Hang's testimony.
"At her house."
"What time did you leave?"
"Around 8 pm."
"What did you two do?"
Zhang Hang shrugged his shoulders. "Let's eat and chat, then I'll go home."
"No, I took the elevator to the sixth floor, then took the elevator to the ninth floor?"
"No, I took the elevator to the sixth floor first, then climbed the stairs to the ninth floor."
Han Bin noted it down and asked, "Why did you do that?"
"I'm afraid that if I go up to the ninth floor, the neighbors will see me and tell my wife. If I get exposed, my wife will make a scene again."
"Then why did you let Liu Lingzui rent the room above your house?"
Zhang Hang's expression was a little strange. "Of course."
Han Bin confirmed again, "On the night of June 4th, did you go to Liu Lingzui's house?"
"Did you go to Liu Lingzui's house on 4th of June?" Han Bin asked.
Zhang Hang refused to admit that he had seen Liu Lingzui on the 4th of June. It was obvious that he wanted to deny that he was the murderer.
"What do you think about Liu Lingzui's death?"
Zhang Hang lowered his head, "I'm very sad. Although we are not married, we have a good relationship."
"Have you thought about marrying her?"
Zhang Hang rubbed his face, "Yes."
Han Bin probed, "When do you plan to divorce your wife? Do you want children?"
"Officer, this is my personal matter. It has nothing to do with the case. Can I refuse to answer?" Zhang Hang retorted.
"From what I can see, this is related to Liu Lingzui's death." Han Bin stood up and walked to the interrogation chair.
"You have a complete family with a wife and children. It's impossible for you to divorce and remarry. Liu Lingzui kept pestering you and even threatened you. That's why you killed her in anger. "
"I didn't!" Zhang Hang looked angry and shouted, "You're framing me. I said I didn't see her on 4th of June. How could I have killed her?"
"You police can't catch the culprit, so you want to frame me. Are you going to torture me to get a confession?"
"Bang!" Bao Xing slammed the table and shouted, "Sit down."
Seeing that Han Bin and Zhang Hang were arguing, Ding Xifeng walked over and lit a cigarette for Zhang Hang. "Mr. Zhang, we are investigating the case. Don't be angry."
Zhang Hang took the cigarette and took two puffs. "I won't admit to something I didn't do."
Ding Xifeng asked, "Since you and Liu Lingzui are in a relationship, you should know her situation better. Who do you think killed her?"
Zhang Hang glanced at Ding Xifeng and shook his head. "I don't know."
"Don't be in a hurry to answer. Think about it."
"I really don't know."
"Have you heard of Zhu Weichao?"
"No."
Ding Xifeng paced a few steps. "Everyone makes mistakes. You can only be forgiven if you know your mistakes and correct them. If you don't admit your mistakes, you'll only bring more pain to yourself."
"Some things can't be undone once they've been done. If you say it, you'll gain true freedom. "
Zhang Hang glanced at Ding Xifeng. "Officer, I don't understand what you're talking about."
"It's okay. Go back and think about it. When you've thought it through, we'll talk again." Ding Xifeng patted him on the shoulder and left the interrogation room.
Han Bin followed him out.
After leaving the interrogation room, Ding Xifeng went straight to the point. "What do you think?"
Han Bin said honestly, "I think he's lying. It's very likely that he's the murderer."
Ding Xifeng nodded. "Evidence. We're still lacking crucial evidence."
"Gather everyone and go to the conference room."
"Yes."
…
Twenty minutes later, in the conference room.
Ding Xifeng sat in the main seat of the conference room. Chen Lin and Han Bin sat on either side of him. The rest of the police officers lined up in order.
Ding Xifeng looked at his watch. "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Han Bin, tell us about the interrogation."
Han Bin organized his words and said, "After Zhang Hang was brought to the police station, we conducted a surprise interrogation. He admitted to being Liu Lingzui's lover. He should be the Zhang we're looking for."
"However, Zhang Hang didn't admit to killing Liu Lingzui. He claimed that the last time he saw Liu Lingzui was June 2nd. On the night of June 4th, he was at home the entire time. His wife can testify."
"That's the current situation."
Ding Xifeng pointed at Li Qin. "How's the interrogation with Zhao Yue?"
Li Qin replied, "Zhao Yue refused to change her story. She still insisted that Zhang Hang was at home the entire time on the night of June 4th. I can tell that she has a deep relationship with Zhang Hang. "
"At the same time, I also asked her about Liu Lingzui. More than a month ago, Zhao Yue found out about Zhang Hang and Liu Lingzui. Because of this, she slapped Liu Lingzui a few times. This coincides with Liu Lingzui's injury. "
Ding Xifeng looked at Chen Lin. "Captain Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Lin looked a little embarrassed. He had investigated Zhang Hang before, but because Zhang Hang was the owner of the neighborhood, he didn't suspect him.
"I also think that this Zhang Hang is very suspicious. I checked the surveillance video, and during the time of the incident, there were no outsiders who came to the apartment building. It's very likely that it was the owner of the apartment building who committed the crime. Since Zhang Hang has a special relationship with Liu Lingzui, the possibility of him being the murderer is very high."
Ding Xifeng glanced at the others and asked, "What do the rest of you think? Or clues to solve the case? "
Huang Qianqian raised her hand. "I have a question. According to Lin Jianrong's description, Liu Lingzui's lover, Zhang, should be a man in his forties. He also wears glasses, is bald, and has a beer belly. This doesn't match Zhang Hang's appearance at all."
Regarding this question, Han Bin was quite familiar with it, and he had his own opinions.
First of all, appearance was a subjective factor. If one didn't receive professional training, it would be difficult to accurately describe a person's appearance.
Take age as an example. Whether someone was in their thirties or forties was completely subjective. There was no clear standard.
As for wearing glasses, some drivers liked to wear glasses. Firstly, it was to prevent the glare of the sun from affecting their vision, and secondly, they thought it was cool.
As for baldness and beer belly, Han Bin felt that it was most likely Lin Jianrong's subjective misconception.
Lin Jianrong had only seen Zhang Hang once in a hurry, and it was under a situation of anger. Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of this man who might have made him a cuckold. He couldn't rule out the possibility that he was subconsciously defaming Zhang Hang.
Of course, there was another explanation.
That was, Lin Jianrong had lied on purpose to disrupt the police's investigation, so that the police couldn't confirm Zhang Hang's identity.
However, Han Bin felt that the possibility of this was low, and he was more inclined to the former.
