Qindao City Criminal Investigation Unit, Third Interrogation Room.
Shi Da sat on the interrogation chair with his head drooped, looking listless.
The ones in charge of the interrogation were still Ma Jingbo, Han Bin, and Jiang Yang.
Ma Jingbo sized him up and said in a tone full of concern, "Shi Da, are you feeling better?"
Whether it was sincere or polite, it sounded very cordial.
"I'm better, comrade police, thank you for your concern."
"If there's nothing wrong with your body, let's continue the previous interrogation."
Shi Da licked his dry lips, "Comrade police, I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation."
Regardless of whether Shi Da was pretending to be sick or not, he still did a good job on the surface. Of course, it could also be said that he was hypocritical and scheming, but it was indeed useful in court.
Ma Jingbo looked at the previous record, "We talked about Li Dongzhi this morning, now let's talk about him."
"I'll ask you again, do you know Li Dongzhi?"
Shi Da said resolutely, "I don't know."
"What about Li Hongshan?"
"I don't know him either."
"But this father and son both know you, and they said that you are the suspect who helped Zhu Weichao escape from prison, and they took the initiative to ask the police to testify against you. This is very unfavorable for you, how do you explain it?"
Shi Da hesitated and said, "Maybe the father and son deliberately framed me in order to reduce their sentence."
Han Bin smiled and then said, "Shi Da, I know you're a smart person, but don't treat the police as fools. Li Hongshan and his son are in prison, and one is outside. It's not easy to meet each other. If you're not involved in the case, why would they spend so much effort to frame you? And the two's interrogation testimony is completely correct. Will the court accept their confession, or will they believe your side of the story? "
"In the past, when you did something wrong, you might be able to use some clever tricks to block it, but this time is different. This is an extremely bad murder case, and the police will investigate it to the end. If you still use your clever tricks to deal with it, you will look very stupid."
Many people had the heart to take advantage of others. The person walking in front dropped a hundred yuan, and you picked it up and said it was your own. He might be able to take possession of the hundred dollars by means of some flowery cleverness.
But if someone else lost a million and you picked it up and wanted to keep it for yourself, it wouldn't be that easy. No matter how glib your tongue was, the owner would definitely get it back.
This was because there was a cost issue between the two parties. Once people had a dispute, there would be a conflict. Many people felt that it was not worth it to fight over a hundred yuan. If they injured the other party, it would not even be enough to cover the medical fees. They might even have to pay a few thousand yuan.
However, one million was different. People would definitely fight for it to the end.
If you still think that you can get this million just by saying a few flowery words and acting shamelessly, you're the real idiot.
In the end, petty cleverness couldn't be used in the big picture.
Shi Da scratched his head and took a deep breath. "How can I admit to something I didn't do?"
The evidence of this case was already very clear. If it was an ordinary suspect, he might have already been killed. However, Shi Da still refused to confess. Han Bin saw a kind of shamelessness in him, which was very disgusting.
Han Bin changed the topic. "Then let's change the topic. According to Li Dongzhi, you once promised that if the jailbreak failed, as long as he didn't give you up, you would give his father three hundred thousand yuan of retirement money. Is there such a thing?"
Shi Da twisted his hands together and lowered his head in silence.
Although Han Bin only said one sentence, Shi Da realized that what Han Bin said was not a lie. Li Hong Shan and Li Dongzhi must have really confessed. Otherwise, Han Bin wouldn't have known about the three hundred thousand yuan.
Shi Da shook his head. "Comrade Policeman, it's useless for me to say anything now, because you don't believe that I was framed from the bottom of your heart."
"It's not that I don't believe you, but it's your own attitude. If you feel that you were framed, you should take the initiative to cooperate with the police investigation so that you can be cleared. Look at yourself. When you encounter a critical problem, you escape. If you don't cooperate with the police, how can we believe you? "Han Bin said earnestly.
"I'm also willing to believe that you are wronged, but the evidence that the police have now formed a complete chain of evidence. Unless you can come up with new evidence to prove your own innocence, the only thing waiting for you is the death penalty."
Shi Da's forehead was sweating. He was already a little panicked. He didn't care about his image and rubbed the sweat with his arm.
"Let me correct you." Ma Jingbo interrupted Han Bin and continued, "If you can't prove your innocence, you only need to take the initiative to admit your crime and actively cooperate with the police investigation. If the court thinks that you have a good attitude and actively compensate the victim's family, you still have a chance to get a reduced sentence. "
Shi Da asked, "What does a reduced sentence mean by a meritorious deed? Does it mean that I won't be sentenced to death?"
No matter who it was, in the face of life and death, it was impossible to always remain calm, and Shi Da was the same.
Ma Jingbo said, "How the sentence is decided is up to the judge. We will only give you a reduced sentence according to your attitude. The more you cooperate with the police investigation, the higher the chance of getting a reduced sentence. You are a smart person, and I believe you should be able to understand. "
Shi Da looked conflicted. He hesitated for a while and said, "I'm a little tired. Maybe I'm not feeling well yet. Can I do the statement later?"
Seeing that Shi Da was doing the same thing again, Jiang Yang slammed the table and scolded, "Shi Da, you haven't walked much since this morning. How dare you say that you are tired? Were we just playing the lute to a cow? This is your attitude. "
"If you still have an attitude of resistance to the police, the only thing waiting for you is the death penalty."
Ma Jingbo's expression didn't show, but he agreed with Jiang Yang's words. The higher-ups were pressing Ma Jingbo to solve the case as soon as possible.
The police already had enough evidence, but Shi Da was still running away. He kept using his body as an excuse, which made people feel like they were punching cotton.
Of course, no matter what he thought, Ma Jingbo still had to follow the script. He was the good guy in this show. One person hit and the other pulled, so that he wouldn't mess up the show.
Although this method was simple and anyone with a discerning eye could see it, it was very practical.
"Jiang Yang, don't say that." Ma Jingbo waved his hand and looked at Shi Da, who was opposite him. He advised, "Running away is not a solution. The later you confess, the more serious the problem will be. The police already have detailed evidence. What they want now is your attitude of pleading guilty."
"If you continue to delay, you will only leave a bad impression on the police. In the end, even we won't be able to help you. Although our comrade's words are not pleasant to hear, bitter medicine is good for the disease. Don't have any conflict with the police. We are also helping you. "
"If you don't cooperate with the police now, it will be too late for regrets when you go to court."
Shi Da was silent. He lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. "I want to smoke."
Ma Jingbo nodded.
Jiang Yang walked over, lit a cigarette, and handed it to him.
"Thank you." Shi Da took the cigarette and took a few puffs. He still didn't feel happy after finishing one cigarette and asked for another.
Shi Da smoked three cigarettes in a row. The small interrogation room was already filled with smoke.
Shi Da put out the cigarette butt and showed a look of determination. He seemed to have thought it through. "Police comrade, I am willing to cooperate with your work and explain the situation clearly."
Ma Jingbo struck while the iron was hot. "Shi Da, did you help Zhu Wei escape from prison?"
Shi Da took a deep breath. "I didn't."
Ma Jingbo frowned. "Then do you know Zhu Weichao?"
"I heard about him escaping from prison, but I have never seen him."
"Do you know Li Dongzhi and Li Hongshan?"
Shi Da smiled. "Never heard of them."
Three questions and three no answers.
Ma Jingbo's face was a little ugly. Shi Da was not going to confess, but he was going to fight to the end …
