"Of course there is evidence, but now that the murderer has not been brought to justice, it is definitely impossible to tell you, so you don't have to lie to me. If I told him, it would be a violation of discipline." Xu Mingzhi said softly after swallowing the fruit.
Zhang Liangcheng opened his mouth to refute, but Xu Mingzhi didn't give him a chance, and said: "You should know that our conversation today should not have happened here. So, I gave you convenience, and I hope you will also It can give me some convenience."
Zhang Liangcheng was stunned.
Of course he understood what Xu Mingzhi meant by convenience.
With his status, if he was summoned to the Municipal Public Security Bureau for questioning today, the leader of his unit would receive the news without waiting for him to walk out of the Public Security Bureau. Then the matter would no longer be hidden, and so would his wife. Received the news. Although, if this murder case is really related to Xueyi, then sooner or later it will be hidden, but there is still a difference between sooner and later.
Zhang Liangcheng's heart was full of bitterness.
I have to say that Xu Mingzhi is really good at attacking the mind.
Zhang Liangcheng lowered his head and let out a long breath. At this moment, he finally had to give up completely.
"What else do you want to ask?" After he said weakly, he suddenly looked up at Xu Mingzhi and smiled sadly: "However, I really know very little about him. After graduating from college, he lived in my house for a while , I had some unpleasant troubles with my wife, so I moved out. After that, the relationship between us was not as close as before. This... is probably one of the reasons why he took this path. !”
"So, you knew there was something wrong with that trip on the night of the 1st, but you didn't ask him, but you still cooperated with him, right?" Xu Mingzhi asked suddenly.
Zhang Liangcheng couldn't help but froze, then smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you."
"You know that the car does not belong to your brother, and you also know that your father was not feeling unwell on the night of the 1st. If I guessed correctly, it was your brother who called you that day to tell you that your father was not feeling well and asked you to go back and take a look. Is he?" Xu Mingzhi looked at him and asked.
Zhang Liangcheng lowered his eyes and did not answer. But silence was the answer.
Xu Mingzhi sighed and then said: "So, when you saw the corpse, you had already made a rough guess in your mind, right?"
Zhang Liangcheng took the tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
"You felt sorry for him and didn't take good care of him. You wanted to compensate him, so you chose to hide it for him." Xu Mingzhi said calmly as if stating the facts. Zhang Liangcheng sat there with his head hanging down, his hunched body seemed to be completely crushed by something, and it was difficult to straighten up.
"So, where was he on the night of the 1st?" Xu Mingzhi's voice suddenly dropped, like a heavy hammer hitting Zhang Liangcheng's heart, and his already overwhelmed defense collapsed instantly.
The veins in the hand holding the cup hardened and then disappeared. After a moment, he whispered softly: "He should be in Huangli Village."
"Should I?" Xu Mingzhi's plain voice seemed a little ruthless: "I don't want him. Are you sure he is in Huangli Village?"
Zhang Liangcheng was silent.
Xu Mingzhi didn’t urge him either.
The cup he held in his hand seemed ready to break at any moment.
After a long moment, he nodded sharply: "Yes, I'm sure."
"Have you seen him?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
Zhang Liangcheng shook his head: "When he was depressed, he committed suicide several times. I couldn't keep an eye on him, so I installed a location on his phone. He didn't know about it."
When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't help being surprised even though he was well-informed. Today's trip was really full of surprises.
"That night, after I got home, I checked the location and he was in Huangli Village." As soon as Zhang Liangcheng finished speaking, the cup in his hand cracked. Sharp shards of glass pierced the palm of his hand, and blood instantly came out.
Xu Mingzhi glanced at it, then looked away, and continued to ask: "Can you take a look at it for me?"
The pain seemed to pull Zhang Liangcheng out of his desperate and decadent mood. He took a deep breath, raised his head to meet Xu Mingzhi's eyes, and said: "After that night, I deleted the software on my phone. ”
Xu Mingzhi stared into his eyes, trying to judge whether the words were true or false, but at this time, Zhang Liangcheng's eyes were filled with silence, and it was difficult to distinguish emotions.
Xu Mingzhi had no choice but to believe it. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Then if I install the software again, will the previous positioning records still be there?"
Zhang Liangcheng shook his head.
Xu Mingzhi looked at him, and after a moment, he reached out and pulled out a few napkins from the nearby paper tube and handed them over, saying: "My hand is bleeding, let's deal with it."
Zhang Liangcheng lowered his head and glanced at his hand. The drop of blood seemed to surprise him. After he was stunned for a moment, he reached out and took the tissues, then stood up and said, "If Captain Xu has nothing else to ask, I'll go first." Go and go to the hospital to take care of your wounds."
"Do you want me to see you off?" Xu Mingzhi looked up at him.
"No need." After Zhang Liangcheng rejected him, he walked away. Xu Mingzhi sat there without moving.
After hearing the door close, he reached out and poured himself a cup of cinnamon. The tea tasted really good. Even though he didn't understand tea, he thought it was delicious.
The refreshments here are also very good.
While Xu Mingzhi was thinking about it, he took another small black cube recommended by Zhang Liangcheng and stuffed it into his mouth.
It was already past nine o'clock when we came out of the tea house. The wind outside has dropped a lot, but the rain is still heavy. He sat in the car, watching the rain falling continuously on the car window, recalling the previous conversation with Zhang Liangcheng in his mind.
In fact, he was surprised to have such a harvest.
He didn't have high hopes for this conversation. Although he felt that Zhang Liangcheng must have noticed something, he didn't think he knew anything clearly. But the final result really surprised him.
Zhang Liangcheng actually installed the location on Zhang Xueyi's mobile phone, which is really unexpected. Although Zhang Liangcheng's reason was that Zhang Xueyi had committed suicide several times due to depression, his intuition told him that this was probably not the real reason. Zhang Liangcheng should have long realized that Zhang Xueyi would take the wrong path one day, so he couldn't position himself. It was just a back-up he left for himself.
Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten to ask a question before. So, he immediately found Zhang Liangcheng's mobile phone number and dialed it.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up.
"Is there anything else?" Zhang Liangcheng's voice sounded a little cold on the phone.
Xu Mingzhi didn't care and asked: "When did your brother become depressed?"
The phone was quiet for seven or eight seconds before Zhang Liangcheng answered: "About seven or eight years ago, maybe earlier, but that was when we discovered that he was not in a good mood."
"Then when was the last time you took him to see a psychiatrist?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
Zhang Liangcheng was silent for a while before answering: "At the end of 2012."
"Do you still have the psychiatrist's contact information? If not, you can also tell me the name or the hospital where she visits." Xu Mingzhi said.
Zhang Liangcheng replied: "The psychiatrist is a friend of mine, and he is no longer in the country. Moreover, the consultation at that time was private, so there is no diagnosis and treatment record." After saying that, he didn't wait for Xu Mingzhi to answer the call again, and immediately Then he said: "I'm going to debridement here, hang up first." After finishing his words, Xu Mingzhi didn't give Xu Mingzhi a chance to speak, and hung up the phone directly.
Xu Mingzhi smiled. What was the point of Zhang Liangcheng playing with his emotions at this time? Zhang Liangcheng, who looked steady and composed, never expected that he could be so childish at times.
But what Xu Mingzhi didn't expect was that Zhang Liangcheng was not in the hospital at this moment, but outside the gate of Yuehe City Community. The wound on his hand was just casually wrapped with a towel, and the blood had already leaked out of the towel and stained the steering wheel.
Zhang Liangcheng looked at the blurry door opposite through the rain-covered window, with a gloomy and struggling expression on his face.
After a long time, the cell phone he threw on the passenger seat rang again.
Zhang Liangcheng thought it was Xu Mingzhi again, disgust and irritation flashed across his face, but when his eyes touched the name displayed on the phone screen, those disgust and irritation disappeared immediately.
He hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone and connecting.
"What's wrong?" The low voice sounded very gentle in the small space.
…
"Still at work, I'll be back in a while."
At home, my wife stood outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, looking at the heavy rain outside, with a look of disappointment on her face.
