"Li Dongzhi, you don't know what's going on right now. Who are you pretending to be calm for? " Ma Jingbo's face darkened. Li Dongzhi still didn't respond. They couldn't keep wasting time like this. Someone had to play the bad cop.
"When you and Zhu Weichao escaped from the production workshop, you were discovered by a prison guard on duty. You actually dared to knock out the prison guard. Do you know that this is considered a prison break? If it's serious, you will be sentenced to death."
"Your father isn't young anymore. I heard that he fell ill because of you. Even we, the criminal investigation team, can't bear to see him. As his son, do you have the heart to let him see his son die before him?"
"Of course, maybe he heard that you're going to sentence him to death, and he couldn't take it anymore."
Li Dongzhi's eyes were red. Her bandaged face was expressionless. She said in a hoarse voice, "Don't say it. I didn't injure that prison guard. It was Zhu Weichao. I just ran away with him. I didn't do anything else. "
"If you didn't do anything, why did Zhu Weichao take you with him? Could it be that he's doing charity and wants to send you out to reunite with your father?"
Li Dongzhi glared at Ma Jingbo and said angrily, "Can you not mention my father? I'm the one who broke out of prison. What does it have to do with my father?"
"Yo, you have a strong self-esteem. Now you know how to care about your father. What were you doing before? From the moment you asked him to help deliver the message, he couldn't escape responsibility. "Ma Jingbo's tone was stern.
"Let me correct you. This situation is caused by you. It's not that I don't respect your father, but you made him do something that doesn't deserve respect."
"My father doesn't know anything. He just wanted to help me. Don't make things difficult for him. He's already so old. He can't afford to be tossed around. "
"You can't say that to me. I'm just handling the case according to the law. You can only blame your son for cheating his father. "
"Cheating." Speaking of this word, Li Dongzhi showed a bitter smile. "Do you think I want to? I still have to f * cking stay in prison for more than ten years. When I go out, I'll be an old man. I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life. I'll go crazy if I stay here any longer. If I had a way, I wouldn't let him do such a thing. "
Ding Xifeng took the opportunity to say, "Since you feel guilty, you should make it up to your father. At the very least, don't let him watch his son die before him. At least, he still has hope in his heart."
Li Dongzhi lowered her head and was silent for a moment. Then, she raised her head and said, "I really didn't hit that prison guard. It was Zhu Weichao."
Ding Xifeng asked, "Who was involved in the prison break?"
"Just me and Zhu Weichao."
"Who's waiting outside?"
"There's no one to help."
Ding Xifeng leaned back and sighed. "I thought you were willing to help the police, but it seems like you're still stubborn."
"You're full of lies. How can we believe you when you say you didn't hit the prison guards?"
"We, the police, investigate cases based on evidence, and evidence is related. A single piece of evidence can't prove anything, so a chain of evidence is the most effective. If you lie, not only will we doubt what you are saying now, but we will also doubt your attitude of pleading guilty. Your previous testimony will also be rejected. "
"I believe you understand what I mean."
"I really don't know who the people outside are. I'm just an accomplice, an errand boy. Everything related to the prison break was planned by Zhu Weichao. He's been using me, or else I wouldn't have ended up like this. How much better am I to be alive than to be dead?"
Ma Jingbo pointed at her. "I just said that Zhu Weichao wouldn't bring a useless person out of prison. That would only increase the risk. What's your role, and why did he choose to escape with you? "
"Maybe he wanted me to be a scapegoat and help him cross the electric fence."
"According to our investigation, your role is definitely more than that. Let me remind you, your father took the opportunity to secretly pass the news of the prison break to you. He also admitted to this."
"If you want to make a contribution to reduce your sentence, tell us who the person outside is."
Li Dongzhi was stunned for a moment. "I've been in prison all this time. How could I have seen the person outside? Since you found my father, why don't you ask him?"
Ma Jingbo paused for a moment, not knowing if he should tell the truth.
Ding Xifeng, who was standing at the side, answered, "It's very simple. Your father refused to say."
"Hehe …" Li Dongzhi laughed. It seemed to pull at her wound, and she revealed a look of pain. "My father refused to say. Do you think I would?"
Ding Xifeng asked in return, "Do you know why your father refused to confess?"
"My father looks like an honest person, but he has a temper and is very stubborn. He didn't say it because he doesn't like you. "
"You're wrong. Your father is a person with a conscience. He knows that he did something wrong and took the initiative to admit the crime. He expressed his guilt to my officers more than once."
"He really wanted to say it, but he couldn't. He wanted to leave this opportunity to you. He wanted you to live and live well."
"He also told our officers that his biggest wish now is to see you and hear your voice. He would be satisfied."
Li Dongzhi revealed a pained expression and choked, "See me? What's the use of seeing me? I'm already like this. Can he still recognize me? I don't want to scare him. I hope that the son in his memory is still the same as before. There's nothing to see."
Ding Xifeng advised, "It's your choice to see him or not, but don't forget what I said just now. This opportunity to make a contribution to reduce your sentence was left to you by your father. If you insist on doing things your own way and refuse to cooperate with the police investigation, it's tantamount to letting down his good intentions. "
Li Dongzhi was silent for a while. "I already said that I don't know the person who helped me."
"Then how did your father contact him? You should know this, right?"
"I don't remember."
Ding Xifeng asked patiently, "Then let's change the question. How did you and Zhu Weichao get to know each other?"
Li Dongzhi thought for a while. "We always met when we were working in the workshop. Occasionally, we would chat for a while. After a long time, everyone knew who they were and what they thought. After being in contact for a long time and testing each other, we naturally knew that each other wanted to escape from prison. "
"To be honest, I only had some thoughts at first and complained a little. I really didn't expect Zhu Weichao to really succeed in escaping from prison. "
"I've watched an American prison break and always thought that the acting was too fake. In the end, reality is more dramatic than the TV series."
"Li Dongzhi, think about it. Did Zhu Weichao ever mention to you about the person who helped him outside the prison?"
"If you want to know, why don't you ask Zhu Weichao? He's the mastermind of the prison break. He knows better than I do. Why waste time with me?"
Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo didn't answer.
After a while, Li Dongzhi smiled. "Let me guess. Don't tell me you haven't caught him yet. If that's the case, then I'm really envious, jealous, and hateful. This guy has been running around for so many days. His wish should have been fulfilled. "
Ma Jingbo asked in return, "Wish? What wish does Zhu Weichao have? "
"He has a lot of wishes. Let me think … Adding them up, there are at least five or six."
Ma Jingbo took out a notebook. "Tell me, what are his wishes?"
"First, he wants to see his family, especially his parents and daughter. Second, he wants to eat mutton hotpot. Third, he wants to drink Maotai and smoke Chunghwa. Fourth, he wants to find a woman to have sex with. Fifth … What was it again? I don't remember. "
Ma Jingbo frowned. What kind of nonsense was this? The more she said, the more ridiculous it was. "I'll ask you again. Did Zhu Weichao mention who would be waiting outside to receive you after the prison break?"
"When you catch Zhu Weichao, everything will be clear. Why waste time with me? Zhu Weichao has been out of prison for a few days. Since he knows that I've been caught, even if he really said something to me before, what's the point?
"Besides, you can guarantee that what I said is true. Aren't you afraid that I'll cover for Zhu Weichao and disrupt the direction of your investigation, allowing Zhu Weichao to escape?"
Ma Jingbo snorted. He couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him anymore. "Don't worry, Zhu Weichao can't escape. He's lying down obediently now, waiting to become a cadaver."
Li Dongzhi sneered. "What the hell? He wants to be a teacher? He can't even read a few words. If he can be a teacher, I can be a principal."
Ma Jingbo was speechless. Wasn't this playing the lute to a cow?
It was said that birds of a feather flock together. Wouldn't it be difficult to communicate with people along the way?
Ding Xifeng glanced at Ma Jingbo. You're not a cultured person. What are you talking about at such a critical moment?
"Zhu Weichao is dead."
"What? Zhu Weichao is dead! " Li Dongzhi revealed a surprised look. Then, he chuckled. "Well, it seems that he's not much better than me. By the way, how did he die? He couldn't have been killed by you, right? You're really ruthless, old friend. "
Ding Xifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was the first time he was called old friend.
The leader of the police station was old, mature, and dignified. He definitely wouldn't use this word. He might not even know that it was an internet term.
None of his subordinates dared to joke like that.
Ding Xifeng didn't expect to be called old friend by a prisoner.
Seeing that Ding Xifeng didn't speak, Ma Jingbo continued, "Zhu Weichao wanted to be killed by us, but unfortunately, he didn't have such a good life. He was buried alive. My men dug him out of the ground with their own hands. "
"Buried alive!" Li Dongzhi's tone was a little surprised and shocked. "What buried him alive?"
Ma Jingbo didn't answer. "I believe that you should know better than the police if you can bury him alive before the police do."
Li Dongzhi closed her eyes. After a while, she said, "I don't know."
Ding Xifeng said earnestly, "Things have already come to this point. Why are you still covering up for the other party? Do you know that your current situation is very dangerous? Not only did you escape from prison, but you also injured the prison guards. If you cooperate with the police investigation, there may be a chance for you to have your sentence reduced. "
"If you refuse to cooperate, no one can help you. What awaits you is probably the death penalty."
Li Dongzhi shouted, "I said, I didn't hit the prison guards. It was Zhu Weichao."
"I said, we, the police, focus on the chain of evidence. We can't believe you based on this sentence alone. If you want to prove that you're telling the truth and that you're not lying, then show the police more evidence. "
Li Dongzhi lowered her head and became silent again.
Ma Jingbo clenched his fists. "Li Dongzhi, the person who was waiting outside the prison killed Zhu Weichao, so he might have killed you. Why did you help him hide his identity? What's in it for you? "
Li Dongzhi spread her hands. "There's no benefit, because I don't know anything about this person. You guys go, don't waste any more time on me."
"How could you not know?"
"I don't remember. That's fine."
Ding Xifeng looked serious and stood up. "You really don't remember, or you're lying. I can tell at a glance. When I step out of this door, you may lose your only chance to have your sentence reduced. "
Li Dongzhi didn't even look at him. She slowly lay down on the bed and turned her head to the other side. It was obvious that she didn't want to talk to the two anymore.
Since he couldn't catch the point that the other party cared about, it was useless to say any more nonsense. Ding Xifeng directly left the ward.
After saying goodbye to Dr. Chen outside and saying a few words to the police officer in charge of guarding, Ding Xifeng strode away.
After entering the elevator, there were only Ding Xifeng and Ma Jingbo.
Ma Jingbo pinched his forehead. "Captain, why don't I stay and probe this guy's background?"
"Are you sure?" Ding Xifeng took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag and handed one to Ma Jingbo.
Ma Jingbo took the cigarette but didn't light it in the elevator. He said, "Li Dongzhi is covering up the suspect. In my opinion, there are only two possibilities."
"First, he cares a lot about the person who helped him escape from prison. This person is likely to have a deep relationship with him. That's why he wants to protect the other party and refuse to reveal the other party's true identity."
"Second, the person who helped him escape from prison has promised benefits in advance. As long as Li Dongzhi doesn't confess, he or his family will be compensated with some benefits. "
After listening, Ding Xifeng also agreed with Ma Jingbo's idea. The two got out of the elevator. Ding Xifeng lit the cigarette and took a puff. "Tell me, how do you want him to confess?"
"First of all, check his relationship network. If it's the first case, then Li Dongzhi and that person are very close. It shouldn't be difficult to find out."
"If it's the second case, then use emotion to move him."
Ding Xifeng flicked the cigarette ash. He didn't think Ma Jingbo and Li Dongzhi could have any feelings for each other. "How to move him with reason?"
"I think Zhu Weichao's death can be used to prove that the person who helped him escape from prison is very dangerous and untrustworthy. He obviously helped Zhu Weichao escape from prison, but he killed the other party. "
"Li Dongzhi and Zhu Weichao's situation is the same. It's impossible for him not to have doubts in his heart. To put it bluntly, if he escaped with Zhu Weichao, he might have been buried alive by the other party."
"In other words, for such a dishonest person, even if he made a promise to others, how could he take it seriously?"
Ding Xifeng thought about it. He still felt that the possibility of Ma Jingbo succeeding was not high. Even if he guessed the reason why Li Dongzhi lied. But it didn't necessarily mean that he had a solution.
However, this was a very important clue. If Li Dongzhi spoke, it would be very difficult to find out. If Li Dongzhi provided the identity information of the person behind the scenes, maybe the police could follow the clues and catch the person.
Ding Xifeng hesitated for a while. In the end, he didn't want to give up this clue. "Okay, you stay. No matter what method you use, as long as you can make Li Dongzhi confess, I will give you the first merit. "
Ma Jingbo straightened his chest and said loudly. "Yes."
This was a shortcut, more reliable than other investigation directions. He was confident that as long as he was given a few days, he would be able to pry open Li Dongzhi's mouth.
As if seeing through the other party's thoughts, Ding Xifeng added, "We must be fast. We don't have much time left."
"This case has a great impact. The entire Qindao City is watching it from top to bottom. The leaders of the city bureau are under a lot of pressure, and the city's criminal investigation team is under even more pressure. We have always been the elites of Qindao City's criminal investigation team. We can't let the criminal investigation team under us laugh at us. "
Ma Jingbo sternly said, "Don't worry, I will pry open this kid's mouth as soon as possible."
