Hu Pingtao did not answer.

He raised his hand, pointed to the deserted street shrouded in darkness and said calmly: "Let's drive, let's go find Shan Wenfei now."

…

It was already very late, twelve forty-seven in the middle of the night.

If you are not wearing a uniform and showing your police ID, the landlord will not open the door at all.

Shan Wenfei and Chen Xiaohong were already asleep. The landlord knocked on the door with his fist, which could be heard upstairs and downstairs. Although extremely reluctant, Shan Wenfei tried his best to open his eyes and open the door.

"The police are looking for you." The landlord's tone was extremely unkind, as if he was looking at a vicious thief.

Hu Pingtao explained with a smile: "We just have something to do temporarily. Let's find a small order to find out the situation."

The landlord was an old man, his eyes full of suspicion: "Why did you choose to find him at this time, knowing the situation?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "Uncle, you are very vigilant. This is a good thing. Xiao Dan is a good person, otherwise we would not ask him for help."

After dismissing the landlord with a few words, Hu Pingtao turned to face Shan Wenfei, who was standing at the door, blocking the door: "Should we go in and talk? Or should you come out and we talk in the car?"

Shan Wenfei was very unhappy. He said nothing and stood there with no intention of moving.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand: no matter who it is, he will not be happy to be called up at this hour. If the other person is not a policeman and the landlord is present, he will not pay attention to it at all.

The lights were on in the room, and Chen Xiaohong was already dressed under the quilt. She trotted over with her slippers on, trying her best to put a smile on her face: "Officer Hu, Sister Xing, come in and sit down!"

As she said that, she reached out and pinched Shan Wenfei's waist, then pushed him away with her shoulders.

Hu Pingtao took Xing Le into the room, closed the door, and said apologetically to Chen Xiaohong: "Sorry to bother you."

Chen Xiaohong was a little nervous. She hugged Shan Wenfei's waist hard, and her voice became trembling: "Officer Hu, Wen Fei...has he committed a crime?"

Hu Pingtao gave no explanation or relief. He looked at Shan Wenfei standing opposite and said seriously: "Xiao Dan, I talked to you in the bureau before. I hope you can answer my questions truthfully and

On the day of the incident, recount everything that happened on the way from you taking the order from "Jingpo Family" to the Provincial Party School."

A trace of fear instinctively appeared on Shan Wenfei's face, and his voice became panicked: "...I have said everything that needs to be said, and I have nothing to hide!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be nervous." Hu Pingtao slowed down and said, "Sit down and talk slowly."

With that said, he pulled out a stool and handed it to Xing Le, then took another stool and sat down. Shan Wenfei and Chen Xiaohong sat on the edge of the bed, cuddling closely.

"I hope you can answer and repeat it truthfully. Never avoid or hide questions because of fear."

Hu Pingtao emphasized his tone: "Since you and Xiao Chen have reached the point of discussing marriage, we must think about you, her, and your future children. You have worked hard in society for so many years, and you should understand that our police

The agency pays attention to evidence when doing things. If there is a stain,

It does not mean committing a crime. But if you conceal something and fail to report what should be said, the situation will become serious. If you are considered an accomplice or collaborator because of this, your life will be stained and may even affect your life.

Your children’s education and employment when they grow up.”

Chen Xiaohong's face was pale and bloodless. She grabbed Shan Wenfei's arm and asked in disbelief: "You... what did you do outside?"

"I didn't! I really didn't!" Shan Wen became anxious and quickly stood up from the bed, defending incoherently.

Hu Pingtao looked at him calmly: "Then why do you hide the facts?"

Shan Wenfei opened his mouth and shouted without even thinking: "I'm not hiding anything!"

Hu Pingtao stared into his eyes: "Then tell me, on the day of the incident, after you came out of "Jingpo Family" and on the way to the Provincial Party School, who did you meet and what happened?

"

Without waiting for Shan Wenfei to answer, he continued to emphasize his tone: "Xiao Dan, you can think about it before you talk. In fact, I could wait until tomorrow and go through the normal procedures in the bureau and ask for a second interrogation of you. But I didn't do that.

.You are a motivated young man who has a loved one and is willing to work hard for it."

"When you didn't come back tonight, we talked with Xiao Chen. She is willing to entrust herself to you and to place her future happiness on you. You must be worthy of this trust."

"I'm giving you a chance. If you still hold on to the idea of ​​luck and refuse to answer my questions, then the bureau will notify you tomorrow, and things won't be like this today."

"I...I..." Shan Wenfei's lips were trembling, and he muttered for a long time, unable to say a word.

Xing Le had no idea what Hu Pingtao wanted to do, but she knew that it must have a meaning, so she remained silent and looked at the other side with vigilant eyes.

Chen Xiaohong was angry and anxious, and pinched Shan Wenfei's arm several times: "Say it! You should tell me! What did you do outside behind my back?"

Shan Wenfei's whole body was trembling.

If Chen Xiaohong was not around at this moment, he could say whatever he wanted. Although he was afraid, he was young after all and his legal awareness was not that strong. To put it simply, it was more luck than reason.

But now he is really afraid. It is rare to see such a good girl as Chen Xiaohong, who is also very good to him, and would rather fall out with his family than marry him. What is even more rare is that he is not vain, and saves money to buy a house together...

If you fall out with yourself because of this incident, you will really have nothing.

He hates Hu Pingtao and is also afraid of Hu Pingtao.

The two thoughts of "telling" and "not telling" are fighting madly in my mind, and no one can gain the upper hand.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao became more and more convinced that his guess was correct.

The room fell into silence for half a minute.

Shan Wenfei's breathing became heavier and heavier, his face turned pale, and his fear became more intense.

Hu Pingtao carefully captured every change on his face, especially the shaking of his shoulders.

He seemed to say casually: "Xiao Dan, you are quite young, but your brain has become confused and your memory is not good... Haha, let me remind you: you hit someone on the road that day."

As soon as the words came out, it was as if a bomb exploded in Shan Wenfei's mind. His whole face turned pale and his body suddenly bounced up as if it had received an electric shock.

"How did you know?" Shan Wenfei's question was completely a conditioned reflex.

Hu Pingtao's heart was full of surprises. This was not a casual try, but the result of careful thinking. He controlled his emotions, his face remained calm, and his tone was mixed with a touch of sarcasm: "You think we policemen are all just freeloaders?"

?Now there are surveillance everywhere. As long as we check the records on the day of the crime, everything will be clear."

After a pause, he emphasized: "There were a lot of pedestrians passing by at the time, and someone saw it. I thought it was nothing at the time, but we later found out about it after we called the community."

"Do you think the handling of cases is still as dull as before? The function of information processing is very powerful. The subdistrict office and the community jointly participate in the investigation, directly detailing every person and every piece of information on the Internet. Weibo and WeChat

Why is Moments so popular? It’s because people are curious and want attention. Don’t say you hit someone while riding an electric bike. Even if a dog is hit by a car, someone will take a photo and post it online, and countless people will click on it.

Like, there are countless animals protecting and cursing through the screen.”

"Xiao Dan, I still say the same thing: Don't take any chances. If it weren't for the sake of your girlfriend's face, I would have taken you directly to the police station and let the matter be settled."

These words are part persuasion and part threat.

After saying that, Hu Pingtao calmly took out a pack of "Yunyan" from his pocket, tore open the package, took out the lighter, and smoked slowly.

Seeing this series of actions, Xing Le's eyes widened in disbelief.

She had never seen Hu Pingtao smoking all day long.

People who are addicted to cigarettes are not like this at all.

But look at Hu Pingtao's current appearance, with a relaxed expression and sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

He held the lit cigarette between his fingers, slid open the phone screen, and said calmly to Shan Wenfei: "I'll give you ten minutes. If you want to speak, I can cross you off the list of people involved in the case. If you don't want to speak,

, then let someone else talk to you. Let me remind you that things will not be as simple as they are now. You have to understand that this is no ordinary case, it is poisoning and premeditated murder."

Xing Le understood the situation and echoed from the side: "If you know something and don't report it, you will be punished as an accomplice. But if you have meritorious service and take the initiative to explain the problem, you can reduce your guilt and even avoid punishment."

Shan Wenfei's eyes lit up at these words, and he hurriedly asked: "If I say it, can I really be exempted from liability?"

Hu Pingtao puffed out smoke and said slowly: "It depends on whether what you said is consistent with the situation we have."

"I said it! I said it all!" The last line of defense in Shan Wenfei's heart collapsed completely.

…

"That day I received the order and went to "Jingpo Renjia" to get takeout. There were three dishes in total: one package of roasted tofu, one package of roast beef, one portion of fried beef skin, one portion of rice and a box of dipping sauce.

Sent to the Provincial Party School, the guest’s surname is Bai.”

"In our business, time is of the essence, and once the goods are delivered, they must be delivered as soon as possible. That restaurant is not far from the Provincial Party School, and I happened to have two other orders in the same direction, so I hurried over as soon as possible."

“To go to the Provincial Party School, you must take Chayuan Road, then turn south from the Hongjiaqiao intersection, pass through Beiguan, then go through Shanghong Lane, turn right into Minzheng Street, and walk more than 100 meters until you reach your destination.

"

"Although Shanghong Lane is an alley, it has been widened and turned into a highway during the renovation of the old city in the past few years. It is a five-way intersection, and the traffic lights are only for vehicles and pedestrians crossing back and forth. Next to Shanghong Lane is Yongdao Street, with two

The roads just form an angle, and because they are both to the north, you can go straight on Yongdao Street when the light turns green, and then you can turn from Shanghong Lane into Minzheng Street when the left turn light turns on."

"I was busy delivering goods, and the electric car was a little faster than usual. When I turned from Shanghong Lane... I accidentally... bumped into a woman."

Having said this, Shan Wenfei seemed a little guilty and his expression was unnatural. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone.

Hu Pingtao looked calm: "Those who deliver express and takeaway food are all ground flying supermen! If you don't follow the rules when driving, your loved ones will burst into tears. I know what you are afraid of... Okay, don't think so much, and continue...

...Also, be more careful and describe what the woman you knocked down looked like."

Shan Wenfei quickly replied: "She is quite fat. She is wearing a gray coat. The style is ordinary, very common. Below are navy blue trousers. The shoes are white, common sports style, very cheap."

.”

Xing Le, who was taking notes, asked strangely: "Why do you remember her clothes so clearly?"

Shan Wenfei rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "...We deliver food and ride an electric bike back and forth in the city every day. As the saying goes: If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet? In our line of work
