After calling Shi Feng, Ai Liang and Xu Zhihai sat on a nearby public bench and waited quietly.
The sun shone through the leaves and fell on the two of them.
Ai Liang bent forward and held his face with his right hand, while Xu Zhihai leaned back on the bench with his hands folded on his stomach and looked up at the sky.
This behavior doesn't look like a murderer who is going to surrender to the police station. It's more like going out for an outing.
Ai Liang is still a little confused. Xu Zhihai chose to surrender so simply?
In order to guide Wang Zi to kill Gao Jiajia, he had been planning to create a coincidence for two years.
If it was just to take revenge on Gao Fuye and Wang Qiang, just find an opportunity to kill Gao Jiajia and Wang Zi, and that would be the end of it.
If he wanted to evade legal punishment for a perfect crime, there would be no need to accompany Ai Liang to surrender now.
Ai Liang turned his head and looked at Xu Zhihai.
...Forget it, I'm not a superhero, why do I care about so many other things? It's not my turn to worry about these things.
Ai Liang finally gave up the idea of reading Xu Zhihai's memory.
Buzz, buzz.
Ai Liang picked up the phone and pressed answer.
"Where are you now?"
Shi Feng's tone was a little urgent.
"The bench in front of the school."
As soon as Ai Liang finished speaking, he saw a black civilian anti-riot vehicle swerving around the corner.
This is Shi Feng’s car.
Shi Feng got out of the passenger car with his cell phone and only hung up the phone when he saw Ai Liang himself.
Shi Feng took out his stun gun, pointed it at Xu Zhihai and asked Ai Liang, "Is he a suspect?"
"Well, he instigated Wang Zi to kill Gao Jiajia, and Wang Qiang's death was also related to him."
Before Xu Zhihai could answer, Ai Liang helped him explain in advance.
However, even if he was pointed at by a gun, Xu Zhihai did not have any fear and greeted Shi Feng with a smile: "Well, it's just as he said."
Xu Zhihai took the initiative to stretch out his arms before Shi Feng shouted and put his head in his hands.
Xu Zhihai smiled and said: "I surrender myself."
Shi Feng's warning tone increased: "Think about some things carefully before you say them. If you say you were joking later, I will still arrest you!"
Xu Zhihai remained unmoved and kept stretching his arms.
"Gao Bin, cuff him."
Seeing this, Shi Feng didn't say much nonsense and directly ordered Gao Bin to handcuff him.
Shi Feng himself pointed a gun at Xu Zhihai from beginning to end without letting up.
"Ai Liang, you become the co-pilot."
Shi Feng opened the rear door, escorted Xu Zhihai in and said to Ai Liang.
He was not so big-hearted as to let a student sit in the back seat with a criminal suspect, even if the person was handcuffed, there was still some danger.
Shi Feng, who got into the car, not only fastened Xu Zhihai's seat belt for safety reasons, but also took out a second pair of handcuffs and connected them to the door handle.
There was silence in the car, no one spoke.
When he was approaching the criminal police team, Xu Zhihai suddenly asked: "Ai Liang, what's the reason for you working so hard? Logically speaking, these things have nothing to do with you, right?"
Ai Liang did not look back, but he was sure that Xu Zhihai was staring at him at this time.
“I was moved by the fatherly love of a certain father, it’s that simple.”
Ai Liang tilted his head and no one could see the expression on his face.
Although it was not stated clearly, everyone in the car knew that Ai Liang was referring to Gao Fuye.
But no one knows clearly that if Gao Fuye knew that Gao Jiajia died because of him, he would rather be cut into pieces than Gao Jiajia be harmed at all.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now. This good father has lost his daughter forever.
"He really loves his daughter."
Xu Zhihai couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it seems I didn't pick the wrong person."
"Speak slowly in the interrogation room if you have anything to say!"
Shi Feng opened his mouth to stop Xu Zhihai.
Xu Zhihai shrugged and shut his mouth honestly.
...
Xu Zhihai's hands were handcuffed on the table, while Shi Feng and Gao Bin were sitting opposite.
"Name."
"Xu Zhihai."
"gender."
"male."
"Home address."
"There is no house."
Different from Wang Zi's interrogation method, Shi Feng asked a bunch of irrelevant questions and occasionally asked the same question repeatedly.
These questions were actually asked a few days ago when Xu Zhihai was brought in.
As for why I have to ask again now, it’s because Shi Feng is building Xu Zhihai’s EAC model.
The so-called EAC model is actually some linkage between people's senses and thinking methods when being questioned.
When you look upward, your brain's visual memory is being activated; when you look to the upper right, you are creating an image; when you look to the upper left, you are memorizing the image.
When your eyes are straight, the auditory memory of your brain is being activated; when you look to the left, you are recalling sounds, and when you look to the right, you are creating new ideas, such as imagining what others will say next.
Looking to the lower right, the brain's kinesthetic memory and feeling emotions are activated, but it is impossible to tell whether it is a recollection or a lie.
Looking down to the left is when you are thinking logically, that is, organizing your language.
As more and more questions were asked, Shi Feng began to feel troubled, because Xu Zhihai didn't have any expression changes or small movements, and looked directly into his eyes from the beginning to the end.
This model is not suitable for everyone, obviously including Xu Zhihai.
It was obvious that he had undergone corresponding lie detection training and would not reveal any flaws.
This made Shi Feng begin to believe that he was really related to the two murders.
"Is the novel in Wang Zi's hand written by you?"
Since it was impossible to tell whether Xu Zhihai was lying from his micro-expressions, Shi Feng planned to follow the usual practice of asking everything that should be asked, and then slowly look for clues and evidence.
Micro-expression interrogation only speeds up the progress, but is not the key method.
"That's right, I printed it out with the printer in the recycling bin and put it in the community."
Xu Zhihai admitted directly: "I have deleted all the records on the computer, but the printer's memory card is still there, and there is a backup in it."
So cooperative?
Shi Feng was a little confused: "Are you so sure that Wang Zi will kill Gao Jiajia according to your idea?"
"After observing him for half a year, I can't understand his character. In reality, I also created a series of coincidences in the novel. I believe he will follow the script. As for whether he kills people in the end, it all depends on him. idea.”
When Xu Zhihai said this, he had no complacency or pride in controlling other people's lives, and his voice had no fluctuations, as if such a result was natural.
This calmness convinced Shi Feng that the novel must have been written by this person.
Secretly controlling a person's life and guiding him to kill people for him, Xu Zhihai is very scary. Only such a thoughtful person can write down such detailed methods of committing the crime and the details of the aftermath.
Shi Feng crossed his fingers and stared at Xu Zhihai: "Is Wang Qiang's death related to you? What role did you play in it?"
"I didn't plan to kill that guy right now, but my friend didn't want to wait for me to slowly arrange him, so he killed him for me."
"Your friend? Do you have an accomplice? Who is he? What is his name? Where is he now?"
Upon hearing that Xu Zhihai had an accomplice, Shi Feng immediately issued a series of life-threatening calls.
Xu Zhihai smiled softly and said: "He told me the truth about my sister's death three years ago, and took out the surveillance video that should have been deleted at that time, but he only gave me that video not long ago."
Shi Feng did not interrupt Xu Zhihai's statement and quietly waited for the next step.
"As for who he is and what his name is, I don't know. I'm not lying. I really don't know. Every time he contacts me through a single line, he always wears a hoodie and a mask when we meet. If he had known it, he would have known it long ago. Go and steal the car accident video."
"Since someone still has the video of the car accident, why didn't you report it to the traffic police? Why did you do these things?"
Gao Bin couldn't help but interjected and asked.
"He made a bet with me using a memory card."
Xu Zhihai had a sarcastic expression on his face.
"The bet is very simple. He doesn't mind if I tell the story and see if anyone besides him is willing to help me get justice. If there is, he will give me the memory card to complete the chain of evidence."
This looks like a one-sided bet that is beneficial to Xu Zhihai.
But after hearing this, Shi Feng and Gao Bin suddenly stopped talking.
This time it was Xu Zhihai's turn to stare at the two of them: "As you can see, Wang Qiang was fired for dereliction of duty a few months after the car accident because there were no clues. He compensated me tens of thousands of yuan in cash in a humanitarian spirit. The matter fell silent and was never mentioned again, and the case began to be cold-handled.”
Gao Bin's hand just paused, and soon continued to dance rapidly on the record book.
Shi Feng didn't intend to play any guilt war with Xu Zhihai, and directly pointed out the doubts about the bet: "Since you win, he will give you the memory card, what if you lose?"
Xu Zhihai raised his eyebrows: "If I lose, I will help him."
"What to do?"
Shi Feng continued to ask.
Xu Zhihai spread his hands: "I don't know."
Shi Feng rubbed his brows, the aftereffects of not sleeping much for two days were still coming out.
While enduring the intrusion of sleepiness and thinking about Xu Zhihai's confession, his head began to hurt.
"Then are the series of things you did later related to him?"
"It's irrelevant. He doesn't intend to interfere with my revenge, and I don't intend to let him interfere."
Xu Zhihai frowned slightly and said, "But he couldn't wait any longer, so he killed Wang Qiang and then put the wooden box that I had carved in advance into Wang Qiang's hands."
Shi Feng pinched his thigh with his hand under the table, using the pain to suppress his sleepiness, and then continued to ask: "What do the words on the wooden box mean."
"Ai Liang has been untied. You can ask him."
Xu Zhihai was too lazy to explain to Shi Feng.
"Know where you stand! I ask, you answer!"
Shi Feng slammed the table and made a loud noise.
This was both a warning to Xu Zhihai and a way to suppress the growing sleepiness.
Xu Zhihai was not frightened at all and said very calmly: "This is a clue left for you. Since the car accident three years ago left a clue, of course I have to give you some hope. It's just a pity that I don't have much time. There is no time to continue the game."
"What's the clue, and what does it mean that time is running out?"
Shi Feng asked as he slowly started to wake up.
"Wang Zi's novel is called Narcissus; I engraved Eris on the skipping rope that strangled Gao Jiajia; I engraved Pandora on the wooden box in Wang Qiang's hand; as for time is running out, it means that the person is taking me away. As for where to go ,I have no idea."
I don’t know again. As long as it involves the unidentified guy, the answer is I don’t know. Is that person hiding it well or is Xu Zhihai lying?
What is the difference between saying this kind of clue and not saying it?
Shi Feng had a headache.
He looked into Xu Zhihai's eyes and did not see any nervous emotions.
All psychological activities are concealed by a calm appearance.
Xu Zhihai raised his handcuffed arm and said, "I've finished talking. Can the two police officers take me to rest? If there are no problems, it's best to release me tomorrow morning. I have to collect waste tomorrow. I’ll spend the night in the detention center today.”
This laid-back attitude makes people angry just looking at it.
"You've committed so many things and you still want to leave?"
Gao Bin really couldn't figure out how Xu Zhihai's brain circuit worked. He still wanted to leave immediately after surrendering to the criminal police team. Is it true that if he surrendered, he would not be responsible?
"What did I commit? It seems like I didn't do anything illegal or disciplined. It doesn't seem like I'm breaking the law when I think about it in my head."
Xu Zhihai asked rhetorically.
After Xu Zhihai said this, Gao Bin realized that although Xu Zhihai was at the center of two murder cases, none of the cases were directly related to him.
"The content of your novel is illegal, and Wang Zi is still underage. You can't escape the crime of instigation."
"The novel was not published. I just placed the manuscript in a certain community for someone to read. Even if the above series of coincidences were arranged by me, the most critical one that led to the murder had nothing to do with me and I could not control it. Leading Gao Jiajia to find someone to confess to, and then controlling Wang Zi to strangle someone to death out of love and hatred? This is objectively unforeseeable."
Xu Zhihai looked at Gao Bin confidently: "As for Wang Qiang's death, it has nothing to do with me. I was collecting garbage at the waste recycling station from yesterday afternoon until about ten o'clock at night. I have a perfect alibi. He can't do it. He held my box and said that I killed the person. If someone else killed someone and said they killed it for me, am I guilty? At the very least, you have to provide evidence."
Gao Bin was so reviled that he lost his temper at all.
Whether it's Shi Feng's silence now or Ai Liang asking Xu Zhihai to surrender, they all suffer from the lack of evidence. Both of them knew that the law could not bring Xu Zhihai to trial, at least not yet.
Xu Zhihai seemed to be surrendering and confessing, but in fact his words were very clear. For example, when he arranged for Wang Zi to kill someone, he said, "As for whether he will kill someone in the end, it all depends on his own thoughts." '
With these few words added, the crime of abetting cannot be established.
That's why Xu Zhihai confidently followed Ai Liang to the Interpol Team for the so-called 'surrender'. He just came to see the joke.
Even if it is known that Xu Zhihai directed all this behind the scenes, there is no way to convict him without evidence.
"I'll find that 'friend' you talk about."
Shi Feng said directly: "I hope he can handle everything as cleanly as you."
"Then let me say thank you in advance, because I want to find him too."
Xu Zhihai said with a smile: "By the way, the video of the car accident three years ago is in my glasses case. Remember to bring it over. Gao Fuye has been free for so many years and he should be punished."
After saying that, he was taken to temporary detention by other criminal police officers.
"Captain Shi, don't you have anything to say?"
Gao Bin asked while packing up the portfolio.
"There is nothing to say. What Xu Zhihai is doing now is the same as Wang Qiang three years ago. Even if everyone knew at the time that he deleted the surveillance video, there is no way to deal with him without evidence and can only be treated as dereliction of duty."
After speaking, Shi Feng took out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth to refresh himself.
"Then we really let him go?"
After all, Gao Bin was still a newcomer who had been parachuted in for only two years, and he didn't know anything about this aspect.
"Otherwise? Let him go and send someone to follow him, maybe he can find something. Even if he is accused of violating regulations and causing adverse effects, he will only be detained for a few days at most."
Shi Feng sighed and walked towards the door of the interrogation room.
Gao Bin was left alone inside and didn't know what he was thinking.
