At about 4:40 in the morning, Su Tianyu, Bai Hongbo, Zhang Hao and others drove to the warehouse on the third floor. At this time, the heavy rain outside had not stopped, and there were several police officers collecting evidence inside and outside the warehouse on the third floor.
In the car, Su Tianyu took the phone and dialed Yu Mingyuan's number: "Hello, we are here, but I see there are still police officers in the warehouse."
"Don't go in yet. They will seal the scene after they leave. You can do it after they leave. Don't move other equipment in the house. Just clean up the speedboat in the backyard." Yu Mingyuan was actually very annoyed and felt that he had encountered unnecessary trouble, but he still restrained his emotions and told Su Tianyu and others to finish it.
"Okay, I know." Su Tianyu nodded.
The two chatted for a while and ended the call.
"This Tang Baiqing is really idle. Would he kill someone by playing with a woman? Isn't it enough to just love each other?" Bai Hongbo really didn't understand why a beautiful relationship between a man and a woman would end up in a bloody incident. He was also very upset: "Do you think this will affect our business?"
"It shouldn't be," Su Tianyu nodded: "These are two different things."
"Alas, we are going to receive new goods tomorrow, but someone died tonight." Bai Hongbo lit a cigarette: "I'm so annoyed."
Su Tianyu hadn't thought so much just now, but when he heard what Bai Hongbo said, he suddenly reacted: "Fuck! Tang Baiqing caused trouble in the warehouse, then... what about Daxiong?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"He lives here, and I guess he was taken away as a witness." Bai Hongbo tentatively replied.
...
Normally, Tang Baiqing's case was directly handled by the police station, so he and Daxiong should be taken back to the station for questioning. But Deputy Director Lao Yang did not make such an arrangement. Instead, he asked the police officers below to take the man back to the office building of the criminal case in Zhannan District.
The heavy rain was still falling outside. Tang's father's business car was parked opposite the criminal case office building in Zhannan District. The engine was on, the lights were off, and the car was full of people.
"Lao Tang, make a phone call and find some connections!" Tang's mother urged anxiously, "You can't just wait like this."
"Are you not smart?" Tang's father frowned and retorted, "Lao Yang hasn't sent a letter yet. What's the point of me finding connections now? What does he say? Your son killed someone?!"
"Then what should I do?"
"Wait. If Lao Yang doesn't send a letter, don't make trouble first." Tang's father waved his hand and replied.
Tang's mother sobbed and didn't dare to argue.
It was just early in the morning, and the police hadn't come to work yet. The criminal case office building was very empty.
After Tang Baiqing was brought back, he stayed in the police office on the third floor. No one questioned him, and no one took control measures against him. Instead, Daxiong was questioned twice by the police, both about some basic information about the case.
In the criminal case office area on the third floor, Lao Yang sat on a seat by the window, looking down at the victim's information, as well as Tang Baiqing and Daxiong's information.
"Tang Baiqing said that the woman was pregnant. Is that true?" Lao Yang asked as he flipped through the information.
"It's not true. The forensic doctor checked and found that she was not pregnant. She was probably trying to scare Tang Baiqing." The police officer next to him replied while drinking tea, "But the fact that she had acupuncture was confirmed, which is good for Tang Baiqing."
"That's okay." Old Yang nodded, squinting at the personal situation that Daxiong was asked about: "This Wu Shixiong's home is in Tufang Street, and there are two brothers in the family?"
"Yes, he filled out the form himself." The police officer echoed and replied: "I mentioned this kid, he seems to be a little mentally retarded, and he stutters when he speaks."
"Ah?" Old Yang looked up: "He also has intellectual disabilities?"
"I heard him talk like that." The police officer reminded softly: "Boss! If this guy really has an intellectual disability, it will be troublesome! Later, we should follow the woman's acupuncture and take action first. Tang Baiqing is acting in the direction of self-defense. If Wu Shixiong is judged to have an intellectual disability, his testimony will be difficult for the prosecution to accept. But if there is no third witness, relying only on Tang Baiqing's confession and the details of the evidence he has produced...it will be difficult to pass the prosecution and the court."
Lao Yang has been a police officer here since the establishment of Longcheng Police Station in the third year. Although his rank is not particularly high, he has rich experience in handling criminal cases. He only glanced at the information and had a general idea of this matter in his mind.
"Let's go and see this Wu Shixiong." Lao Yang stood up.
"Are you still trying him? It's useless, right?" The police officer also stood up.
Lao Yang didn't say anything, just walked out of the office.
Five minutes later, in the interrogation room, Wu Shixiong saw Lao Yang coming in and immediately stood up: "Hello, sir!"
"Haha, it's okay, you sit down." Lao Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Do you want to smoke?"
"No." Daxiong shook his head.
"I've read your transcript, and this matter has nothing to do with you." Lao Yang sat at the interrogation table and said very friendly: "I went back to the police station in the morning, you can leave after signing."
"Oh, trouble... trouble." Daxiong nodded.
"I saw in your transcript that you have two brothers in your family?"
"Yes... yes, I have two older brothers."
"Are they all working? Hey, did your family also move here from Xiadao?" Lao Yang didn't ask a serious question, but chatted with Daxiong about family matters.
It was not until about 6:30 in the morning that Lao Yang walked out of the interrogation room: "It's almost time to go to work, you guys finish up, we'll go back to the police station at 8 o'clock."
"Okay." The police nodded.
"I'm going out for a while." Old Yang grabbed a coat and quickly left the office building. In the drizzle, he got into Tang's father's car: "Don't stop here, drive forward."
The driver did as he was told.
"How is it, Old Yang?" Tang's father asked immediately.
"Old Tang, this matter is complicated, but it is also simple." Old Yang replied in a very contradictory way, rubbing his palms and narrating: "Both Bai Qing and the woman had acupuncture, but we can do this and change it. But according to the previously determined ideas, the eyewitness at the scene is a bit tricky... He is mentally retarded, and it has not been determined how weak he is yet, but if he has a serious intellectual disability, then his testimony will not be of much use to the prosecution."
"Ah, go on."
"I thought about it, this case can actually be taken in another direction." Old Yang leaned over Tang's father's ear and whispered his thoughts.
…
Just after 7 o'clock in the morning, in a breakfast shop near the port of Zhannan District, Wei Xiangzuo was eating soybean milk and fried dough sticks, and he looked very hungry.
"Zuotang, have you heard about it?"
"What?"
"It seems that Tang Baiqing of the Coast Guard had an accident last night." A young man whispered back.
"What happened?" Wei Xiangzuo asked.
"It seems that he died, in the warehouse of Haiyankeng." The young man sneered and cursed: "Yesterday, our gang leader wanted to find him, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even see him today."
"What do you want to find him for?"
"What else can you do? The business that Tang Baiqing and the dirty gang did made everyone unhappy. At the beginning, there was not much volume, so they sold it for face, but now they are getting bigger and bigger, and the higher-ups are not happy." The young man asked back: "Zuotang, what do you think of this?"
Wei Xiangzuo drank soybean milk and said nothing.
At the same time, after Su Tianyu finished dealing with the tail end of the warehouse on the third floor, he immediately drove to the gate of Zhanan Police Station with Bai Hongbo and Zhang Hao.
