When he walked out of Zhang Liangcheng's interrogation room, Xu Mingzhi's mood was like the sky outside, clouded, depressing and heavy.
Today is June 8. It has been four days since Yu Keke's body was found in Miaoshan Village. In the past four days, he had barely slept a wink. It cannot be said that there was no progress in the direction of the matter. At least they figured out who the deceased was and basically determined who the murderer was.
But the feeling of knowing who the murderer was but being powerless gave Xu Mingzhi an unprecedented sense of frustration.
Xu Mingzhi stood by the window in the corridor. The wet wind came in through the cracks in the window and blew on his face. It was sticky and made people feel breathless and stuffy.
He took a cigarette and lit it. After taking two puffs, he suddenly thought of Yu Guang.
He thought maybe Yu Guang would have some different opinions.
So, he even forgot that Yu Guang's cell phone was broken, took out his cell phone, found Yu Guang's number and dialed it. When the beeping sound lasted three or four times and no one answered, he suddenly remembered that Yu Guang's cell phone was damaged by a dagger while fighting Liu Jinye last night, and he couldn't help feeling resentful. Just when he was about to hang up, Yu Guang's voice suddenly came from the phone, with a bit of hoarse sleepiness.
"What's the matter!" Yu Guang's voice was full of impatience.
Xu Mingzhi's mood suddenly improved a bit as he listened.
He grinned and said, "Did you get a new mobile phone?"
In Tianhe City, Yu Guang sat up from the bed with his body propped up, chose a comfortable position to lean on, closed his eyes, and said: "I happen to have a spare at home. What's the matter?"
Xu Mingzhi suddenly didn't want to talk to him on the phone anymore. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "How about I ask He Yu to pick you up now, and you come over?"
Yu Guang frowned: "Can't you say it on the phone?"
"The case is complicated and I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone," Xu Mingzhi said.
Out of the corner of his eye, he was about to refuse, but as he spoke, the image of Xu Mingzhi sitting behind the desk in the early hours of this morning suddenly appeared in his mind, raising his head and asking him if he could still hold him. At that time, the expression on Xu Mingzhi's face, perhaps even he himself did not realize, actually contained a lot of panic that could not be hidden. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold him back.
In fact, in these years, although he has avoided having too many interactions with other people, there are still people who care about him, such as Sister Wen and Wang Yongming. But Xu Mingzhi was probably the first and only person who could clearly see his inner struggle and really made an effort to catch him.
How could he not be moved?
Therefore, when the words of rejection came to his lips, he rolled around and swallowed them.
Seeing his silence, Xu Mingzhi knew that he agreed. After laughing, he quickly struck while the iron was hot: "You haven't had lunch yet? What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout."
"Whatever, I don't have much appetite." Yu Guang said, paused, and then said, "You don't have to ask He Yu to come pick me up, I can just come here myself."
Xu Mingzhi didn't show off to him and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, he seemed to feel more confident, and the frustration that had almost swallowed him up suddenly disappeared a lot.
After returning to the office, he found all the relevant clues he had found in the past few days and began to sort them out one by one. More than thirty minutes later, Yu Guang arrived.
When he pushed the door into the office and Xu Mingzhi looked up and saw him, he suddenly thought that lunch hadn't been called yet! So, while letting Yu Guang sit down, he hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and ordered takeout.
After ordering the takeout, Xu Mingzhi sat down opposite Yu Guang, reached out and flipped through the pile of information on the table, picked out the records about Lin Huihui's incident, and handed it over.
"Take a look at this first." Xu Mingzhi said.
After glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, he took it.
The information is not thick and I read it quickly.
As soon as Yu Guang put it down, Xu Mingzhi asked him: "Do you see any problems?"
"Lin Huihui lied." Yu Guang said directly: "Zhang Liangcheng five years ago may not be as mature as he is now, but he is definitely not stupid. If Lin Huihui is like what he said and doesn't even know the other person's real name, then why should she? Let Zhang Liangcheng agree to her two conditions."
Xu Mingzhi nodded: "I think so too. So, later I asked Zhang Liangcheng, and he said that Lin Huihui accurately told him his identity at that time and threatened him to make it impossible for him to survive in the unit."
After hearing this, Yu Guang pondered for a moment and said: "This reason is quite reasonable. But is it just a coincidence? They came out of the hospital and they met at the door of the hospital by coincidence? Moreover, this Lin Huihui didn't even know Zhang Xueyi's real name at the beginning. They didn’t even know it, but half a month later, Zhang Liangcheng’s identity was discovered first. If she really had this ability, it would not have been possible for this matter to be suppressed like this, and it would have been suppressed for five years.”
Xu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Yu Guang thought for a while and said: "Since Zhang Xueyi planned to drag Zhang Liangcheng into the water from the beginning, it is not enough for Zhang Liangcheng to deal with Lin Huihui. Lin Huihui must also know Zhang Liangcheng's identity. Only in this way can we completely handle it. Live with Zhang Liangcheng!”
After Xu Mingzhi understood Yu Guang's words, he couldn't help but feel cold all over.
If Yu Guang's speculation is true, then Zhang Xueyi is really vicious, that is his brother!
At this time, he suddenly thought of something Director Yuan mentioned before. Whether it was Yu Keke or the deceased in the reservoir, no one even reported the crime after they were murdered for such a long time, which shows that these people usually do not have a strong sense of presence in society. They are withdrawn, have few friends, and have little contact with their families. They live in isolation, so that no one notices or cares about their sudden disappearance. Such an accurate selection of victims is difficult for Zhang Xueyi to do as a website editor. Director Yuan believes that Zhang Liangcheng is likely to be an accomplice.
During the interrogation of Zhang Liangcheng just now, Zhang Liangcheng denied his knowledge of the victims of the reservoir.
He originally believed it and even had some sympathy for Zhang Liangcheng. But what he said out of the corner of his eye made him have to re-examine Zhang Liangcheng.
He suddenly realized that he actually couldn't see through this person.
If Yu Guang and Director Yuan's guesses are correct, then the last thing Zhang Liangcheng should do if he wants to protect himself is to expose Zhang Xueyi.
But last night, when they met at the teahouse, Zhang Liangcheng had already let it slip before he even threw out the bait. He said that he had seen the girl with Zhang Xueyi.
At that time, Xu Mingzhi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, Zhang Liangcheng was a public official and had basic values. It was normal for him not to cover up and actively cooperate. But now that I think about it, I feel that Zhang Liangcheng's spitting seemed more like he was prepared and took advantage of the situation.
Throughout the entire process that followed, he was secretive, but always threw out a little bit of bait at critical moments so that they wouldn't get nothing.
He seemed to know Zhang Xueyi's ability very well, and at the same time he was evaluating Xu Mingzhi's ability. He probably hopes that Zhang Xueyi can be brought to justice, but he doesn't have much evidence in his hands. He hoped that Xu Mingzhi and the others could find evidence, but he was worried that if he exposed too much at once, the gain would outweigh the loss.
That's why he seemed so awkward, always squeezing out toothpaste. Xu Mingzhi used force and he relaxed.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingzhi found that all the unreasonable things he had felt about Zhang Liangcheng suddenly found their reasons.
This is the only speculation that makes sense of the whole thing.
With Zhang Xueyi's character, since he had dragged Zhang Liangcheng into trouble, it was impossible for him to let go after just one use. And Zhang Liang has become a family and a job, compromising again and again, and helping without conscience, which is even more logical.
He may not know that those people are dead. He may think that those people are just like Lin Huihui and have been violated, so he is taking chances.
Ke Yu Keke is dead.
He finally had to realize that things might have gotten out of control.
So, after Xu Mingzhi found him, he started to 'perform'.
