Chapter 133: The Perpetrator
Meng Hao woke up and Lu Xiyan did not intend to announce the news to the public. He just told him among his limited acquaintances that there were lessons from Shu Yun.
He is more careful now.
Although people have awakened, they still need to recover in all aspects, so they need to continue to observe and treat.
When his son woke up, Lao Mengtou couldn't stand it anymore. Although the old man was in his early fifties, he had suffered too much when he was young, and when he got old, there were many problems.
Fortunately, I have survived the most difficult level.
Lu Xiyan has been closely following news about the "Zodiac". In the first stage, with the cooperation of public opinion and concession authorities, the Zodiac suffered heavy blows in the public concession and the French concession, and even a devastating blow.
Cheng Yuqing's counterattack foolishly underestimated the public's hatred for him, and even the concession authorities showed extreme disgust for the zodiac.
Once the police station and judicial arrest rooms of the Ministry of Industry Bureau start, they will not be ruthless, but this time the Japanese reaction was a bit interesting.
The dog's leg was severely damaged, and the owner should have jumped out long ago, but after several days of this, no big move was seen by the Japanese.
Just let Cheng Yuqing jump up and down in front of him alone and charge into battle.
Are the Japanese planning to kill donkeys? Will they give up the zodiac?
Or should I deliberately let Cheng Yuqing jump out and fight with the concession authorities, and by the way, I can touch the concession authorities' attitude towards Japan to spy on the attitude of Western countries towards Japan?
The phone ring on the desk suddenly rang.
"Hey, I'm Lu Xiyan."
"Old Tang, are you sure?" Lu Xiyan stood up suddenly after hearing the sound from the phone.
"If I don't have a clear message, can I notify you?" Tang Jin said, "You can come here quickly. This matter is not as good as you."
"Okay, I'll be here soon." Lu Xiyan hung up the phone.
"Mengyao, please ask for a leave for me, and by the way, I'll go to the police station." Lu Xiyan ordered Xi Mengyao.
"OK."
"Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu..."
"Consultant Lu, what's going on?"
"Drive, go to the police room." Lu Xiyan said that the newly bought Ford T-shirt, which cost two thousand oceans, finally got a car.
"Detective Tang is in the interrogation room."
"Okay, I know, thank you." Lu Xiyan and Ma Xiaowu went directly to the interrogation room.
Tang Jin and Qi Huan are both here.
"Didn't we find the Ford car that hit Meng Hao at the Xinli Auto Store before? It was sold by this guy." In the torture room, a man in his thirties was hung on a wooden shelf.
He only had a single piece of clothing on his body, covered with blood marks, and obviously he was beaten very hard. None of the people in the police station were merciful.
"Old Lu is here." Tang Jin personally participated in the interrogation, which shows that he attached great importance to Meng Hao's case, otherwise he, a senior police officer in the Political Department, would not have had to deal with such dirty work.
"How did you catch it?" Lu Xiyan was surprised. In his impression, the members of the zodiac were all gangsters, gangsters, or frustrated soldiers. Such people were basically unable to say they would-power and had no faith.
At most, I will talk about the so-called loyalty in the world, but this loyalty is limited.
"I didn't get the money for selling a car, otherwise I would have run away long ago." Tang Jin said.
I understand!
When it was time to deal with the car, Tang Jin Design caught it. This guy was really careless and actually sold the car that caused the accident to the car dealer.
Even if you want to sell it, you have to hide it for a while before talking about it. It's too impatient.
"Where is the car?"
"I've pulled it back and let Yuan Rui check it out." Tang Jin said, "This guy is very tough and refuses to tell who the person behind him is."
"I'll read the transcript." Lu Xiyan said.
In the transcript, except for name and age, there is no motivation for hitting a person, and any other problems are all blank.
"Old Tang, torture is useless, stop it." Lu Xiyan handed the transcript to Qi Huan.
"That, the one inside, stop!"
"Lao Lu, without confession, we can't convict him." Tang Jin said.
"As long as we have enough personal evidence and physical evidence, even if he doesn't speak, he can still be convicted. However, we can only prosecut him for causing a traffic accident, but we cannot prove that he was murdered." Lu Xiyan said.
"What should I do? Even if I hit and run, I won't be sentenced to death for a long time. If there is compensation, it may be shorter." Tang Jin said.
"So, of course he won't speak anymore. Just insist that this was an unexpected traffic accident. What can we do to him?" Lu Xiyan said, "Can the French Concession stipulate that traffic accidents and runs can be released on bail?"
"Of course, ordinary people don't allow it, but if..."
"How long can it be delayed?"
"At most, forty-eight hours." Tang Jin said. If there is really a strong person who comes forward to bail and there is no conclusive evidence that it is murder, he may be released at that time.
"Let the news." Lu Xiyan nodded and said to Tang Jin.
"Old Lu, are you really planning to do this?" Tang Jin said in surprise.
"If you don't do this, how can you know who is a human and who is a ghost?" Lu Xiyan said, "There must be their people in the French Concession. This time they will let them jump out on their own initiative."
"You are cruel enough!" Tang Jin gave Lu Xiyan a thumbs up and nodded to Qi Huan, obviously agreeing with Lu Xiyan's suggestion.
"Old Tang, let me go in and chat with him?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Okay." Tang Jin nodded, ordered people to open the iron fence gate, accompany Lu Xiyan in, and called out the two executioners inside, leaving only one clerk responsible for recording confessions.
The suspect is Xu Zhitong, who is in his early thirties and is a small vendor selling tofu.
"Mr. Xu, a week ago, in front of a restaurant called Shiweitian on Lafeide Road, you drove and hit someone. The person was Meng Hao. He is my brother-in-law, so you should understand why I appeared here." Lu Xiyan said calmly.
Xu Zhitong raised his head slightly and twitched the corners of his mouth.
This expression and the subtle movements at the corners of his eyes, Lu Xiyan was sure that this guy knew who he was. If he didn't know, it would definitely not be this expression.
Many of a person's inner activities can be expressed in body language, and they don't have to be said, or even beyond their control.
"My brother is still lying in the hospital, and his life and death are uncertain. Don't you want to say anything?" Lu Xiyan asked, "Even if this is an accident, shouldn't you say sorry for it?"
"sorry……"
"I can't hear any sincerity from your words." Lu Xiyan said, "Can you shout a little louder?"
"I'm sorry." This time the voice became much louder. Even Tang Jin and others outside the iron gate could hear it clearly, but his face was strange. Obviously, they didn't understand why Lu Xiyan did this.
"Let's talk about this. You hit someone by driving and escape. According to the laws and regulations of the concession, you have to be in prison for at least three years. If you cause disability, it will be at least seven years. But if you are willing to bear medical expenses and compensate for losses, will you have a chance to reduce your sentence? Should you choose to go to jail or compensate?"
"I choose to compensate."
"Very good, then let's calculate the compensation. If my brother survives and has nothing to do with it, medical expenses, loss of work, nutrition expenses, care expenses and mental loss expenses, you will have to compensate us at least 5,000 oceans. If there are sequelae in the body, there will be later treatment expenses, life span, etc. You will have to pay more than 10,000 oceans, but if my brother is gone, I won't let you pay a penny."
"Why?"
"Because I will let you go down and accompany him!" Lu Xiyan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and directly grabbed the two ribs of Xu Zhitong's left chest. "I am a doctor and a forensic doctor. I know more than anyone else how to make a person die in extreme pain. You can say nothing, but in the end, you will be the most painful person to die."
Xu Zhitong suddenly felt so painful that he sucked the air conditioner. This was much more painful than the dozens of whips just now.
"I know, as long as you don't speak, no one can do anything to you, because there is no evidence to prove that all the things you did are premeditated, right?" Lu Xiyan relaxed his hand, and Xu Zhitong surfaced like an oxygen-deficient fish, breathing in the air.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't deliberately hit those two people. I just accidentally stepped on the wrong accelerator."
"Then why did you crush him after you were knocked away by my brother?"
"I was so panicked at that time that I didn't see clearly at all." Xu Zhitong defended.
“Why sell a car?”
"I hit someone, afraid that someone will know..."
"Is this car yours?" Lu Xiyan sneered, "You are a tofu seller, and the little money you earn is not enough to buy gasoline. Where did you get the money to buy a car?"
"I stolen this car." Xu Zhitong held it in for a long time and said.
"It's great to steal a car. You said your car was stolen. Where did you steal it? Whose car was stolen?" Lu Xiyan chased after him.
"I don't know whose car it is. I just saw that there was a car on the side of the road and there was no one inside, so I stole it." Xu Zhitong's forehead sweated.
“When and where?”
"I, I can't remember..." Xu Zhitong's back was wet. A lie needed countless lies to cover up. From the first lie that Xu Zhitong told the lie, this was destined. He had to keep lying to cover up the lies ahead of him until he could not make up the lies.
"If you can't remember, then think slowly. We have time to wait for you to remember."
"Let him take a look at the transcript and sign and seal it!" Lu Xiyan ordered the clerk and asked Xu Zhitong to press the fingerprints on the transcript just now.
...
"Old Tang, with this, it's useless for anyone to bail, but don't take it out for now. I'll wait for 48 hours before talking about it." Lu Xiyan handed the transcript to Tang Jin and said.
"His he confessed?"
"No, I just confessed to the crime of theft, the amount was huge, just a car." Lu Xiyan smiled slightly.
"Old Lu, you really have you. You are making him lose his composure." Tang Jin smiled and immediately understood Lu Xiyan's intention.
"This guy has some experience in fighting the interrogation. I'm afraid he is not an ordinary member of the zodiac. Old Tang, you have to withstand the pressure!" Lu Xiyan said.
"What did you see?"
"I haven't seen anything yet, I just have intuition." Lu Xiyan said.
PS: Don’t worry, there may be a third chapter! Another pit is filled in. Many readers who have read "The Throne of the Soldiers" must have guessed that the main reason is Mu Feng, is Leng Hao and Huo Xiaoyu's son, and the third generation of the Leng family direct? Congratulations, you have answered correctly. Mu Feng is Leng Hao's son, but I haven't written it out, hahahaha...
Chapter completed!
