Afternoon.
City Public Security Bureau.
There were new developments in the investigation. The fingerprints and DNA from under the fingernails were all indisputable evidence. Liu Taibo and Xu Dabing were escorted to the interrogation room by the Public Security Bureau for questioning. The suspects had changed from Dong Xuebing to Li Taibo and Xu Dabing. Now, they only need witnesses and a motive.
Interrogation room.
A few officers from the Public Security Bureau asked: "Team Leader Li, why did you go to Liuyang Hotel at 12 pm today?"
Li Taibo replied. "Commission for Discipline Inspection Director Luo treated me to lunch."
One of the officers asked. "Did you leave the private room during this period?"
"Absolutely not." Li Taibo replied. "I did not even go to the toilet!"
That officer asked. "What about the time of the crime? Other than Xu Dabing, who else can prove that you did not leave the room? "
Li Taibo gritted his teeth. "Luo Haiting can. We had a drink together at that time!" Li Taibo did not give up hope. Of course, he knew that he did not push Wan Sichao down the stairs. As long as he found a witness, he would be able to prove his innocence. "I have a good relationship with Wan Sichao. Many people know this. This is a false accusation! You all should go and investigate Dong Xuebing now! He is the one who has the motive to kill Dong Xuebing! Qu Yunxuan is his cousin! Her cousin had drunk too much and jumped off the building, but she blamed me and Wan Sichao for it. This must be Dong Xuebing's doing. Those fingerprints and DNA must be Dong Xuebing's doing! Also, didn't Xu Dabing tell us? He had seen Dong Xuebing at the restaurant during the incident! Dong Xuebing must be lying! "
… …
In the interrogation room at the side.
The people from the Public Security Bureau weren't so polite to Xu Dabing. One of the policemen slammed the table and said, "Your fingerprints have been found! You better confess now! "
Xu Dabing shouted. "It has nothing to do with me! I did not kill anyone! "
The officer asked angrily. "Then how do you explain the fingerprints? How do you explain the flesh on your fingernails? "
Xu Dabing scratched his head. "I don't know! I don't know anything! Someone is trying to frame me! "
"Who will frame you for no reason?" The officer asked. "Also, how? You scratched Wan Sichao! Don't you have any recollection of it? "
Xu Dabing shouted. "It's Dong Xuebing! He's the one who did it! "
"What did Chief Dong do? Did you scratch Wan Sichao with your hand? "
"It must be him. He was at the scene of the crime. I saw it with my own eyes! It must be him! "
Actually, Xu Dabing is not sure if it is Dong Xuebing. He did not see Dong Xuebing at the scene of the murder and had not seen him since ten minutes ago. But Xu Dabing is not sure if he had discussed with Li Taibo, or they had exchanged looks earlier. Xu Dabing knows he cannot tell the truth and must lie until the end. This way, Dong Xuebing will be the scapegoat. That's why Xu Dabing does not care who killed Wan Sichao. He wants Dong Xuebing to be the scapegoat.
…
An office.
Dong Xuebing and the two officers from the Public Security Bureau were sitting opposite each other. Cao Hai and the rest of the Public Security Bureau leaders had left.
"Chief Dong." The officer asked. "Now Team Leader Li and Xu Dabing are claiming you are the one who framed them. What do you think?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "What else did they say?"
The officer hesitated. "Xu Dabing said he saw you one minute before the crime."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Are you sure Xu Dabing said this?"
The officer nodded. "That's why they said you appeared at the Commission for Discipline Inspection at 12.40 am."
Dong Xuebing finally understood why Li Taibo brought Xu Dabing to the Public Security Bureau. Both of them had discussed this beforehand. Li Taibo had lied about Qu Yunxuan's incident earlier, and they are addicted to it. They will use some things they had never seen before as evidence. They want to kill Dong Xuebing! The first time was with Qu Yunxuan, and now with Dong Xuebing. If they dare to lie about this, what else will they not dare to do in the future? Also, Dong Xuebing felt it was not too much to sentence them to death!
Dong Xuebing calmly replied. "If you all want to investigate, you all can. But I suggest you all do not investigate the wrong direction. The evidence is right in front of you, and the two suspects are confirmed. If you all don't investigate their evidence and still want to investigate me, don't you think it is too much?"
The officer quickly replied. "Chief Dong, that's not what we mean. We are only passing their statements to you all. We had already gotten the witnesses."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I have a suggestion. Do you all want to hear it?"
The officer replied. "What is it?"
Dong Xuebing continued. "Li Taibo and Xu Dabing's statements are too exaggerated. Since you all had worked with Li Taibo before, I don't believe you all did not hear rumors about Wan Sichao. Wan Sichao is suspected of six to seven rape cases, and Li Taibo is in charge of most of them. But in the end, the cases were not settled. Our City's Commission for Discipline Inspection had received reports about this. I might not know about the previous cases, but I know about Qu Yunxuan's case a few days ago. Xu Dabing was the one who gave Wan Sichao an alibi. He said Wan Sichao had gone out at that time and was not at the scene of the crime. Li Taibo also said my cousin smelled of alcohol. That's why Wan Sichao's rape case was closed. Do you all have any opinions?"
The two officers looked at each other with a serious expression.
Dong Xuebing continued. "Li Taibo and Wan Sichao are very close, but it is only on the surface. I suspect they are benefiting from each other, and Li Taibo and Xu Dabing had helped Wan Sichao testify against my cousin. That's why Li Taibo and Xu Dabing had no choice but to silence them. Of course, this is only my deduction of the motive, and you all are still in charge of the investigation. This is also my suggestion. But this time, Xu Dabing and Xu Dabing had given false testimony to frame me. I believe you all will get to the bottom of this soon, and their words will not be credible. As a member of the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection, I suggest you all investigate the previous cases again. I am not saying this as my cousin's relative. I am saying this as a member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. I hope Qu Yunxuan's case can be solved as soon as possible. Although Wan Sichao is dead, we still need to investigate this case. We can't let the commoners poke at our backs! "
The officer quickly wrote down what Dong Xuebing said in his notebook. "I will report to the higher-ups about the investigation."
Since Li Taibo and Xu Dabing had been making things difficult for Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan, Dong Xuebing will not be nice to them!
I have given you all a chance!
You all are the one who did not want it!
… …
On the other side.
Luo Haiting was called in by the Public Security Bureau for evidence.
This interrogation room is special. There is a layer of opaque glass at the back, and no one can see outside. But the people on the other side of the wall can see inside. Public Security Bureau Chief Cao Hai and a few other officers are sitting in the interrogation room, listening to Luo Haiting's testimony.
One of the officers asked. "Director Luo, were you having dinner with Li Taibo before the murder?"
"Yes." Luo Haiting is not sure. She is afraid this case has something to do with Dong Xuebing, and that's why she is careful with her words.
The officer asked. "Did you all notice anything unusual during your meal? Did Captain Li and Mr. Xu behave differently? "
Luo Haiting thought for a while. "I did not notice anything unusual. But Captain Li and Mr. Xu seem to be very close."
The officer asked. "Where were you when the murder happened?"
"On the fourth floor of the hotel."
"Were you with Captain Li and Mr. Xu?"
"No. I went to the toilet before the murder happened. I don't remember the exact time. But I heard screams two minutes after I entered the toilet, and I ran out to see what happened."
"Where were Captain Li and Xu Dabing at that time?"
"They were in private room 18. The room where the murder happened."
"Oh? Only the two of them? "
"The Criminal Police Unit is also there. I was the last one to arrive."
… …
A few minutes later.
Another witness arrived.
"Are you a waiter at the hotel?"
"Yes."
"Did you see Luo Haiting going to the toilet before the murder happened?"
"Luo Haiting? I don't know her. But she is a woman. "
"Take a look and see if she is the woman in the photo."
"It's her."
"Are you sure you remember correctly?"
"Yes. She had run out of hand sanitizer, and she asked me to bring a bottle over. When I was about to get the sanitizer, someone outside screamed."
"Ok. Thank you for your cooperation."
… …
The last witness was from the Criminal Investigation Unit.
"You all were having dinner at Liu Yang Restaurant?"
"Yes. Captain Li asked us to go there. He said he is treating us."
"Why is he treating us? Why that restaurant? "
"I'm not sure. But from Captain Li's tone, he seems to have something to attend to. But he did not show his face and is having dinner with a member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection."
"You all went to private room 18 when the murder happened?"
"Yes."
"Which group did you all arrive in?"
"When we arrived, only Captain Li and Boss Xu were in the room. They should be the second group to arrive."
"No one else?"
"No. It's just the two of them."
"Then do you know when they entered the room? Were they there the whole time? Or did they hear the screams? "
"I'm not sure about that."
The few police officers knew that the Public Security Bureau's leaders were watching them, so they did not dare to lie.
Behind them, the leaders of the Public Security Bureau looked at each other. Their faces were gloomy!
According to Luo Haiting's testimony, she was not in the private room before the murder happened. The few police officers also said that only Li Taibo and Xu Dabing were in the private room when they arrived. This meant that there was a gap of two to three minutes, and no one knew what Li Taibo and Xu Dabing were doing!
Now, they had both witness and material evidence!
