"No, it's really not me!"

"Who do you think I am? How could I do something like that?"

"If I really cut the rope, I would be struck by thunder and hit by a car when I went out. I would die badly."

The old man swore and swore to his heart's content.

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "You have to think clearly, our policy is to be lenient if you confess and lenient if you resist. Now you still have a chance to be lenient if you confess. If we find out that you did it, you can do whatever you want then."

No, you can’t eat and you still have to walk around. You can’t be fined even if you go to jail.”

The old man was startled for a moment, and then he concealed his expression very well: "...Don't be so exaggerated, okay? It's just a rope...as for that?"

These words made Hu Pingtao feel more confident: "It seems you are unwilling to admit it?"

The old man shook his head like a rattle: "I didn't do it, why should I admit it?"

Hu Pingtao didn't bother to talk nonsense to him: "Okay! Since you said so, then I have no choice but to follow the procedures."

The old man was a little nervous, and he asked indifferently: "...you...what do you want to do?"

Hu Pingtao said: "I suspect that you deliberately cut the safety rope and intentionally hurt people. Now go back to the police station with me to cooperate with the investigation."

The old man became anxious when he heard this: "Why?"

"Just because I am a policeman." Hu Pingtao said coldly: "I have the right to summon you. Let's go!"

…

Zhang Youtian has a very poor psychological quality. When he arrived at the police station and entered the interrogation room, he admitted casually.

"The rope... I cut it."

Although he got the expected answer, Hu Pingtao still couldn't understand his behavior: "Why do you do this?"

Zhang Youtian was fixed on the interrogation chair, his head drooped, and he said nothing.

Hu Pingtao asked tentatively: "Do you know that young man who is doing engineering? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"I don't know." Zhang Youtian replied subconsciously.

Hu Pingtao found it increasingly difficult to understand: "Since I don't know him, why did you want to hurt him? That's the fourth floor close to the third floor! Don't you know that falling from this height will kill someone?"

Zhang Youtian fell silent again.

Hu Pingtao changed the question: "What tool did you use to cut the rope?"

Zhang Youtian thought for a while and raised his head: "I cut it with a kitchen knife at home."

Hu Pingtao followed the conversation and continued the previous question, making insinuations and exerting psychological pressure on the other party: "Your behavior is intentional harm. Zhang Youtian, I didn't provoke you. The property management company hired people to fix leaks in the walls of the community.

Yes, as a resident of the community, this is good for you! I think you have eaten too much to hold yourself up!"

"I'm telling you, your behavior has violated the law. To put it more seriously, it is a deliberate attempt to kill others."

Zhang Youtian was horrified, raised his head, and hurriedly defended: "You...don't fool me! I just cut a rope, what does it have to do with me that he can't fall off?"

Hu Pingtao got a little angry: "The safety rope was lowered from the roof and passed outside the window of your house. Couldn't you see such a big person?"

Zhang Youtian quibbled: "I really didn't see it. I... I'm old, my eyesight is bad, and I usually wear presbyopia. Didn't I say before, I sleep in the house... Oh, no, I just feel annoyed.

, so I cut the rope with a kitchen knife. I really didn’t know who was being tied up, I didn’t know anything!”

Hu Pingtao's eyes were stern: "Think carefully about it, kill someone to pay for your life, and pay your debts for money."

Zhang Youtian screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "I didn't kill anyone, I just cut a rope!"

Hu Pingtao rapped the table hard with his knuckles, emphasized his tone, and deliberately frightened him: "I fell from the third floor, and now I'm lying in the hospital and in the intensive care unit. The preliminary examination at the hospital showed that just the bones were broken." He suffered several injuries, severe internal bleeding, and severe concussion... Think about it for yourself, what a sin!"

"They called the police, and I went to the hospital. The initial treatment plan there costs more than 300,000 yuan. Plus the later recovery and nutritional expenses, it will not be less than 500,000 yuan... Let me tell you, you We’re in big trouble this time!”

Zhang Youtian was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Why do you want so much money?"

Hu Pingtao said sarcastically: "Do you think I'm joking with you? How about you try to fall down from the third floor yourself? That's how a young man in his twenties fell like this. You have old arms and legs. , it’s probably impossible to cure it without a million dollars.”

"What did you say?"

"One million?"

"Are you bluffing me?"

Zhang Youtian was really frightened. He was shaking all over, holding on to the edge of the chair with both hands, and his eyes were straight.

When Hu Pingtao saw that the situation was not good, he quickly changed his words, and his tone became much gentler than before: "These are not what I said, but the estimated treatment costs based on the examination results from the hospital. I really didn't scare you. You... tell me what's going on! What's wrong with you just staying at home and cutting someone else's safety rope with a kitchen knife? You're looking for trouble for yourself!"

After all, Zhang Youtian is in his sixties and almost seventy years old. As he gets older, his health is not good, and his mental health is also the same. He committed a crime, but if he couldn't stand the shock during the interrogation, he suffered a sudden stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, heart attack, etc. An illness or something... When family members come to visit, even if the police station is reasonable, they may still be made passive.

There have been precedents for similar things, and the other thing is that now is different from before, the Internet spreads news very fast. Zhang Youtian's family members deliberately caused trouble. In addition to calling the media to find reporters, they also posted the matter online. At that time, the focus of everyone's attention will not be on Zhang Youtian's cutting of the safety rope with a knife, causing the decoration worker to fall and be injured, but on "the police tortured and forced a 70-year-old man to suddenly become seriously ill."

The Internet is not a place outside the law, but there is a high chance that the truth will be changed by countless keyboard warriors, and if it is passed on to ten or hundreds of people, everything will become completely different. Even if the police issue an announcement to clarify the facts, in the eyes of many people, it has already been It has the effect of a fait accompli.

"I advise you to tell the truth honestly." Hu Pingtao persuaded patiently and kindly: "We police are not just for free. Since we have come to investigate and brought you back to the police station, it means that we have obtained enough evidence." To be honest, it only takes one sentence to send you to the detention center. I will make a call now and someone will send a car to pick you up in a few minutes. The next thing is also very simple - inform your family members to fill in the form and pay the fee. , I guess you will stay in jail for the rest of your life, don’t even think about getting out."

Zhang Youtian's face turned pale. He was so frightened: "...How long will I be kept in there?"

"It's really hard to say." Hu Pingtao looked at the heat and took out a cigarette and shook it at Zhang Youtian: "Do you want to smoke?"

The corners of Zhang Youtian's eyes twitched. He felt his heart beating violently and became a little panicked. He urgently needed nicotine as a sedative. So he nodded in fear and said hesitantly: "...Okay."

Hu Pingtao left his chair, walked up to Zhang Youtian, handed him a cigarette, took out a lighter and helped him light it, then returned to his seat, lit the cigarette and took a slow drag.

"Old Zhang, you've been here before, why are you so confused?" Hu Pingtao changed his attack and addressed Zhang Youtian with a more intimate name: "I think so! You shouldn't be a bad person. If you are sent away for no reason like this,

It doesn’t seem good to go in…”

He deliberately paused his words, and carefully observed the changes in Zhang Youtian's expression with his sharp eyes through the rising smoke.

The old man's mood was much more relaxed than before, he was not so nervous, and his face was a little rosy. But his eyes were still dull, and the fingers holding the cigarette still trembled from time to time.

Zhang Youtian is very shrewd. Based on what Hu Pingtao just said, he guessed something, so he tentatively asked: "Well... I am still... now, can I still strive for leniency?"

Hu Pingtao did not answer directly and continued to play the emotional card.

"You said you are so old, why would you do such a thing?"

"You have no grudge against the young man who does the decoration, right?"

"I checked your personal information and found that you have a son who works as a sailor outside and never returns home. You also have a daughter who lives in Beicheng District. Your wife died more than ten years ago and you have been living as a widower. Chang

The house in Yuan Community is under your name. Your daughter is usually busy with work and rarely comes to see you except during holidays."

"You are already a grandpa, so you have to set a good example for your children!"

Zhang Youtian listened to these words with shame on his face and lowered his head. He felt that he could not say a word. He did not bother to smoke the cigarette in his hand. He just burned it and soon turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

Scattered and crushed.

Hu Pingtao continued to intensify his psychological offensive: "Leniency also requires rules. You have to tell me what happened and why you cut the safety rope?"

"I...I...I..." Zhang Youtian said the word "I" several times, and his wrinkled and shriveled cheeks became redder than before. This was not caused by a large amount of blood rushing to his head, but

Because of shame.

"I have nothing to do with the decoration workers." Zhang Youtian smacked his lips, with some reluctance, lowered his head and made a hoarse voice: "I just... just feel... uncomfortable."

Hu Pingtao took a puff of cigarette and said nothing.

Based on years of experience in handling cases and intuition, he concluded that Zhang Youtian still had illusions in his heart and was not telling the truth.

Hu Pingtao's expression slowly turned cold, and his tone became serious: "Zhang Youtian, if you continue to fool me with such nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you. I have said before that you are deliberately hurting others,

To be more serious, it can be regarded as murder. Now the injured is lying in the hospital, and the treatment fee alone costs hundreds of thousands. I see you are old and pitiful, and I want to fight for some good policies for you.

But you think I’m bullying you, don’t you?”

"Okay! I don't care about this. The police station has all kinds of chores every day, and it's too busy. I'll call the detention center now and ask them to come and take the person. Then the court will decide what to do.

How to judge, and then notify your family and your former employer before retirement, so you will be embarrassed!"

Hu Pingtao said the last few words very seriously, but he did not deliberately make them up.

"Don't... don't do this!" Zhang Youtian panicked and shook his head quickly: "I said, can't I just say it now?"

Hu Pingtao's expression softened slightly, but his tone was still serious: "I remind you, this is your last chance. If you continue to lie, and I later find out that you are deliberately deceiving... I have many ways to deal with you.

"

Zhang Youtian was very frightened: "It won't happen... It really won't happen... Actually, this matter... Well, it also has something to do with Teacher Ye upstairs."

"Teacher Ye?" Hu Pingtao was confused for a while. After a few seconds, he remembered the old lady who lived on the fifth floor of a building in Changyuan Community, the one above Zhang Youtian.

Her surname is Ye, and her full name is Ye Qingyuan.

Hu Pingtao muttered in his heart: If you cut someone else's safety rope yourself, why would you drag the old lady living above you?

He thought so in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. Hu Pingtao's expression remained unchanged: "Go on."

Zhang Youtian continued: "The house here in Changyuan Community was bought for me by my son. He is the second mate on the ship, and his income is not bad, but he does not come home all year round. I used to live with my daughter, and we moved here eight years ago.

When I came here, I met Teacher Ye."

"She is indeed a teacher. She used to practice dance. I heard that she was still giving lessons in college. When I moved here, her husband was still there, but he was not in good health. I heard that he used to be a soldier.

He had fought in the war, had been injured, and still had bullets in his body...The winter before last, he had an old injury, and he was sent to the hospital and died without resuscitation."

"Teacher Ye is really nice and beautiful. I have never seen anyone like her..." At this point, Zhang Youtian's small eyes suddenly shone: "When I used to work in the factory,

, I heard people say that women who practice dancing have great figures. But I have never seen it... Oh, no, I have seen it on TV. Every year at the Spring Festival Gala, there are many dancing women, but I have never seen it.

In real life, until I met Teacher Ye."

"Actually, she is not young anymore. She is sixty-five this year, which is three years younger than me. Who among the sixty-something old ladies can maintain themselves as well as she does? There are no wrinkles on her face, her skin is smooth, and she looks like she is in her forties.

She is no different at age. She usually wears short skirts and high heels, just like a little girl... By the way, you have never seen her wearing a cheongsam, right? She is so beautiful, especially when she walks with her waist twisted and her butt swaying.

Yes, and breasts... Hi..."

As he spoke, Zhang Youtian became interested and started vomiting: "I asked about it, Teacher Ye worked in a song and dance troupe when she was young. Although her husband was a military cadre, this marriage was forcibly arranged by her family. Teacher Ye didn't do anything about it.
