Tai Dongyuan was shocked. "Jail? There's no need to go that far. I didn't do anything illegal. I'm innocent."
"You're innocent?" Li Hui's tone was sarcastic. "What about us? We've been fooled by you guys for so long. Aren't we innocent? If everyone is like you, how are we going to investigate the case? Who's going to protect the people! "
"I'm sorry. I really didn't think that much. I didn't go to school. I'm confused … I …" Feng Dongyuan stammered. He was so scared that he couldn't speak.
Han Bin said, "Education is not an excuse for you to commit a crime. There are plenty of people with low education who are honest and dutiful. "
Tai Dongyuan pleaded, "Yes, you're right. I admit that I did something wrong. I know I was wrong. Please let me go and don't let me go to jail."
"That depends on your attitude. If you cooperate with the police investigation and perform meritorious deeds, we can give you some leniency."
"I want to perform meritorious deeds. I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation." Tai Dongyuan leaned forward. "Officer, as long as you don't let me go to jail, I'll agree to anything."
Han Bin said, "My request is very simple. Help us find Song Bohui."
"Bo Hui," Tai Dongyuan muttered. "But I … I don't know where he is now."
"That can only mean that you don't want to do meritorious deeds to reduce your sentence."
"I want to, of course I want to. But I really don't know where he is. "
Han Bin took a step back. "Then tell me in detail about the last time you two met."
Feng Dongyuan fell into his memories. "On the morning of September 13th, Bo Hui called me and said that his adoptive mother was sick and was seeing a doctor in Beijing. He couldn't handle it alone and wanted to ask me to go to Beijing. When I heard that it was a serious matter, I quickly bought a high-speed train ticket to Beijing. "
"I arrived at Beijing at five in the afternoon. Then, I took a taxi to the hospital to look for him. At first, I didn't go upstairs. We met downstairs. Then, we went to a nearby hotel to talk. He asked me to disguise myself as him. "
"I didn't agree at first, but he kept begging me … I finally agreed. That night, he told me a lot about himself. He left early the next morning, and I haven't seen him since. "
Han Bin asked in detail, "Which hospital?"
"Beijing's Third People's Hospital."
"What's the name of the hotel?"
"Wanda Hotel, Huai Bei Road."
"When did he leave?"
"I don't know. Anyway, when I woke up on the morning of the 14th, I didn't see him. It should have been around eight o 'clock at that time. He took my ID and changed clothes with me. "
"It was also from then on that I started acting as Song Bohui. To be honest, my heart was pounding in the beginning, afraid that I would expose myself. I knew that no matter how well I pretended to be, I wasn't Bo Hui. His family would definitely notice something different. However, perhaps because of Song Bochen's death, his family has overlooked my abnormality. "Feng Dongyuan smiled bitterly.
"But I really didn't expect that even though I deceived Bo Hui's parents, I couldn't hide it from the sharp eyes of the police. I guess Bo Hui didn't think of this either."
Han Bin didn't care too much about this flattery. "Since you can impersonate Song Bohui, it means that you know him very well and know a lot about him. Then help me analyze why Song Bohui asked you to disguise as him. "
Feng Dongyuan looked hesitant. He clenched his fists, loosened them, and then clenched them again.
After a while, he still didn't speak.
"Bam bam!" Li Hui knocked on the table. "Hey, what are you thinking about? Do you still want to reduce your sentence? Let me tell you, the crime of obstructing law enforcement is not light. It can be sentenced to three years in prison. You have to stay in a dark room for more than a thousand days and nights. You have to think carefully. "
Feng Dongyuan was a little embarrassed. "I just think that Bo Hui will come back himself. I don't want to betray him. After all, I'm his brother."
"Hehe." Li Hui sneered. "Then do you know that you've already been betrayed by him? Haven't you ever thought about why he asked you to disguise as him? Doesn't he know that it's against the law? You treat him as a brother, but he doesn't treat you as one. "
"Stop it!" Feng Dongyuan shouted, grabbing his hair with both hands. "I believe that Bo Hui must have his own difficulties. He won't harm me."
Han Bin took over the conversation. "Then all the more you should say it. You also said that Song Bohui doesn't want to harm you. But if you don't say anything now, you'll be arrested for obstructing law enforcement and go to jail. When that time comes, it will be equivalent to him harming you. Isn't that going against his conscience? "
Feng Dongyuan looked conflicted, his hands clenched together.
Han Bin continued to persuade him. "Let's take a step back. We, the police, are not fools. We can see that you're not Song Bohui, and we can also investigate whether Song Bohui has committed any other crimes. If you don't say it, you'll both be harmed."
"I … I'm willing to say it. I'll tell you everything I know." Tai Dongyuan took a deep breath. "Actually, I didn't think too much about it at first, but I couldn't sleep for the past two nights. I've been thinking about it, and I'm also wondering why Bo Hui asked me to disguise as him."
"I thought about it for a long time and felt that Bo Hui might be worried and afraid … so I wanted to leave for a while."
Tai Dongyuan's words were vague, but Han Bin could understand what he meant. However, the purpose of the interrogation was to obtain concrete evidence, so such a perfunctory approach naturally wouldn't work.
"What do you think Song Bohui is worried about?"
Tai Dongyuan lowered his head. "I think Bo Hui might have made a mistake."
"What mistake?"
"I'm just guessing. It might have something to do with Song Bochen's death."
Li Hui said subconsciously, "You mean, Song Bohui killed Song Bochen?"
Tai Dongyuan shook his head. "I'm not sure about that."
Han Bin also felt that Song Bohui was related to Song Bochen's death, but Song Bohui was out of town when Song Bochen died. He had an alibi. If that alibi was true, Song Bohui couldn't be The Clown. Then, what role did he play in the case? Was he an accomplice with Zhang Li?
"Before September 13th, did you disguise yourself as Song Bohui?"
If Song Bohui was the murderer, then Song Bohui's alibi was fake. Then, the person who replaced Song Bohui out of town was very likely Tai Dongyuan.
Tai Dongyuan hesitated for a moment. "No."
"You're not lying?"
"I promise."
Han Bin stared at him and asked, "On the afternoon of September 9th, between one and two o 'clock, where were you?"
Han Bin had asked this question before, but Tai Dongyuan didn't answer it directly. Instead, he pretended to be angry and changed the topic.
Tai Dongyuan was silent for a while before shaking his head. "It's been so long. I really can't remember."
Han Bin frowned slightly. He wasn't satisfied with this answer, but at the same time, this answer also explained some problems.
Feng Dongyuan must be hiding something. He wasn't as innocent as he claimed. It was very likely that he was also involved in Song Bochen's murder.
