There was a new major clue in the case, so Han Bin temporarily suspended the interrogation.
If the clues provided by Zhao Wenyi were true, then the police would find the two bloody clothes, which would be enough to convict her.
If the clues provided by Zhao Wenyi were false, then there was no point in continuing the interrogation.
…
The next morning, Han Bin held another case summary meeting.
Ding Xifeng and Ma Xiwen from the technical department attended the meeting.
The focus of the meeting was Zhao Wenyi's bloody clothes.
As the actual person in charge of the case, Han Bin was the first to speak. He briefly introduced the progress of Zhao Wenyi's interrogation.
After Han Bin finished, Wang Xiao reported, "After receiving the address provided by Captain Han, I rushed to 103 Meixin Road, warehouse 28. We found two bloody clothes in the warehouse, a beige coat and a pink sweater.
In addition, I checked the warehouse's surveillance. On January 31st, at about 5: 20 pm, Zhao Wenyi entered the warehouse wearing a beige coat and left wearing a blue work uniform. From this, we can infer that these two clothes were what she wore when she committed the crime.
After that, I handed the two clothes to my colleagues in the technical department. "
Ma Xiwen continued, "After getting the two clothes, we immediately tested them. There was no obvious blood on the outside of the beige coat, but there was a lot of blood on the inside. It didn't look like spilled blood, but more like it was rubbed on. The other pink sweater had more blood stains, and the shape was spattered, which matched the characteristics of the murderer's crime.
In addition, we further tested the bloody clothes. We found Zhao Wenyi's skin and hair on the surface of the clothes, so we can confirm that they were worn by her. The blood stains on the sweater and coat matched the victim, Xiao Bingtian's DNA. We can confirm that these two clothes were what the murderer wore when she committed the crime.
In addition to the two clothes, we also found a photo in the pocket of the coat. The photo wasn't taken now, so it should be an old photo. We extracted the blood fingerprints of two people from the photo. One is the victim, Xiao Bingtian, and the other is the suspect, Zhao Wenyi. The blood stains on the photo matched Xiao Bingtian's DNA. "
"Okay." Ding Xifeng smiled. "With this identification result and Zhao Wenyi's confession, we can basically convict the suspect. Han Bin will be in charge of the details of the case. Let's try to close the case by the end of the year and have a good New Year for everyone. "
"Yes," everyone answered in unison.
At the mention of the New Year, everyone present was full of enthusiasm.
Han Bin had obtained the test evidence from the technical department. It could be said that it was already in the bag.
In the third interrogation room.
When he saw Zhao Wenyi again, Zhao Wenyi was a little haggard, but her expression was also a little calmer.
When Zhao Wenyi saw Han Bin, she took the initiative to ask, "Captain Han, when will my case be decided?"
Han Bin was stunned for a moment. The case had to go through many departments from investigation to judgment. It was too early to say that the case had not yet entered the closing stage. "Let's follow the procedure."
"Will I be sentenced to death?"
"That depends on your attitude towards pleading guilty. As long as you plead guilty with a good attitude, I will help you fight for a reduced sentence."
Zhao Wenyi said, "I'm just asking. I want to know the result as soon as possible. As for a reduced sentence or not, it doesn't matter."
Han Bin put down the information in his hand and said earnestly, "Zhao Wenyi, I can understand your thoughts. I've seen a lot of situations like yours. Many suspects have similar thoughts when they first plead guilty. They feel that if they kill someone, even if they are not sentenced to death, they will be sentenced to many years in prison. They feel that they have lost hope in life and even want to be sentenced to death directly. That would be the end of it.
Some suspects did not cooperate with the police investigation at the beginning because of this thought, so they did not get a reduced sentence. They may feel that it doesn't matter at the time, but after calming down, most of them will regret it.
To put it bluntly, they are psychologically unable to accept it and give up on themselves.
However, humans are very adaptable animals. After some time, you will get used to it and slowly accept it. Then, you will start to rethink and plan your life, hoping to be exempted from the death penalty and have a reduced sentence. For this, you will put in a lot of effort.
But by then, it will be too late. You have already missed the best time to reduce your sentence, and you might even have to put in ten times the effort. "
"Phew …" Zhao Wenyi sighed. "Maybe. What you said makes sense, but like you said, I don't care anymore."
"My advice to you is that it's easy to give up on yourself, but it's hard to improve yourself. Help the police with the investigation, and you can retreat or advance."
Han Bin's guess was very accurate. Zhao Wenyi was indeed in a state where she had no desires. Not only was she not afraid of death, but she was also looking forward to it and wanted to leave. However, she also felt that what Han Bin said made sense. She was unable to adapt to everything that had suddenly happened, but a person's state of mind could change, and no one could predict what would happen in the future.
It was just like how she had never thought that she would kill Xiao Bingtian. Sometimes, she still felt that this was like a dream, and she looked forward to waking up soon.
"Captain Han, tell me, how should I cooperate with the police?" Zhao Wenyi's mind was in a mess. She just wanted to end the interrogation as soon as possible and be alone in a daze.
"I will ask you some more questions. You just need to answer them truthfully."
"Go ahead."
"What is your relationship with Xiao Bingtian?"
Zhao Wenyi stared at Han Bin for a while. "It's a long story, and I really don't know where to start."
"Then start from the time you met each other. The relationship between the two of you is directly related to the reason for the murder. This has to be written in the file. If we don't record it in detail, the supervisory department will reject it, and you will have to make a supplementary statement."
"Okay, then I will tell you everything. I hope that everything will end soon."
Zhao Wenyi was lost in her memories. "I have known Xiao Bingtian for twenty years. The first time we met was at my engagement party with Xiao Guodong. When I was dating Guodong, I met Guodong's parents, but it was the first time I met Xiao Bingtian. At that time, I had an inexplicable affection for him.
Also, I could feel that he liked me. The two of us were like magnets, attracted by an inexplicable force. It could be said that it was love at first sight.
Bingtian and I both knew that it wasn't right. I was his brother's fiancée, and the two of us were destined to have no future. Our families wouldn't accept us either. But the magic of love was still irresistible. I really, really loved him.
The two of us were very compatible. As long as we were together, even if we were busy with our own things, even if we didn't talk or communicate, I felt happy. The two of us even thought about eloping together, but … in the end, we couldn't withstand the pressure from all sides.
Bingtian felt that he had wronged Guodong. He didn't want to lose his brother, and he didn't want to disappoint his parents, so he chose to leave Qin Island alone. "
Hearing this, the first mystery in Han Bin's heart was finally solved …
