Hu Yingshao rested for a while, and after the redness on his face completely faded, he said: "I surrender this time. In addition to exposing Wang Youcai's evil deeds and reflecting on myself, I also have one more thing to do."
"What happened?" Tian Hao picked up the record book again.
“Although they came to me last night to ask me to help solve the murder case, I left the living room once during the conversation to get some tea.
When I came back, I happened to hear their escape plan, which roughly meant that if I couldn't help them get out of trouble, they would leave Qianhua City. "
"What did they say?" Shi Hongfang asked.
Hu Yingshao raised his eyelids and tried to open his bloodshot eyes: "I didn't listen for long, and it didn't take long for me to be discovered.
However, I heard Wang Youcai mention the name Song Jie, as if he was planning to ask a person named Song Jie to help him arrange their route out of the city. "
Song Jie?
Tian Hao's hand while writing notes paused.
Tian Hao was no stranger to this name, because the police had many informants who had worked under Song Jie.
He is one of the big brothers in Qianhua City, and the only one who can compare with him is Zhang Feng.
The time when Song Jie became famous is unknown. When the police learned about him, he was already a giant, and there were even many famous bounty hunters who were his subordinates.
Most of his people wander in gray areas, sometimes helping criminals cover up criminal evidence, and sometimes helping the police provide key clues.
I can’t say it’s good, but I can’t say it’s bad either.
For example, ten years ago, criminals who wanted to make a name for themselves came to Neihua City. The police in Qianhua City wanted to take this opportunity to eradicate the local evil forces, but Song Jie stopped them.
What they did at that time included, but was not limited to, providing shelter for criminals, interfering with the police intelligence network, assisting criminals in erasing key evidence, etc.
In many cases, people are arrested, but they are acquitted because there is no evidence.
The popularity of the public security department is itching.
But seven years ago, a large number of criminals in Neihua City fled and came to Qianhua City.
They changed their course of action again.
Take the initiative to connect with the police, provide the police with black zone intelligence, help the police train informants, or simply provide ready-made informants.
This flip-flop made the police dumbfounded.
Many police officers had wondered whether some guy with three years of experience had pulled Song Jie down and made himself the boss.
If Song Jie's power had to be compared to something, it would be a weight.
When the red side becomes too powerful, they will side with the black side; when the black side begins to expand, they will jump back and side with the red side.
In short, I help whoever is weak, and I am an old balancer.
Over time, both parties regarded Song Jie as a buffer zone by default.
Tian Hao was taking notes while thinking about the credibility of Hu Yingshao's words.
Wang Youcai is determined to fall after this incident.
According to Song Jie's usual behavior, if Wang Youcai begged him, the other party might really help him.
Tian Hao silently wrote down this information and then kept it deep in his heart.
The main task now is to interrogate this old guy.
"Is there anything else you want to add?" Tian Hao put down his pen and asked.
"No, Comrade Tian Hao, that's all I have to say."
Hu Yingshao shook his head, his face full of sincerity.
Tian Hao asked in a deep voice, "Do you mind if I ask a few questions?"
After getting Shi Hongfang's approval and Hu Yingshao's nod, Tian Hao started to ask questions.
Don't think this is unnecessary.
Hu Yingshao, an old fox, shouted to surrender, but the "crime" that came out of his mouth was troublesome even to the police.
If things like matchmaking and inviting people to dinner were illegal, then no one in the world would be clean.
His so-called "surrender" is to list a lot of evidence of Wang Youcai's crimes and then clean himself up.
As the saying goes, people are old, ghosts are old, and a rabbit can fly an eagle when it is old.
Hu Yingshao, an old beast, knows very well that if Tao Jun is arrested, the police will find him sooner or later. By then, it is not certain what means the other party will use to interrogate him.
So he took the initiative to surrender today, just to turn passivity into initiative, to advance before retreat, and to put the initiative in his own hands.
According to the regulations of the Asian Federation, surrender must be carried out according to the trial method of surrender.
But the "crime" stated by Hu Yingshao did not constitute any crime at all, and Tian Hao could not be as tough as interrogating criminals.
This is the real old fox. He speaks and acts completely flawlessly and cannot find any flaws.
Tian Hao said with a face: "Please briefly describe all your itineraries in July. We need to check."
Hu Yingshao nodded: "No problem, I will be the same as usual in July..."
The interrogation is over.
As expected, Tian Hao did not extract any useful information from Hu Yingshao.
Whenever he asked what he did on a specific day, Hu Yingshao would just pretend that the person was old and couldn't remember.
It just so happens that this old guy really has amnesia.
Even when Tian Hao mentioned Tao Jun's testimony yesterday, the other party was just stunned for a moment, and soon returned to normal, pretending to be an innocent person, and angrily scolded Tao Jun for slander.
Without any substantial evidence.
Tian Hao could only take the person into custody first, because he had to go to Wang Youcai's club to arrest the person today.
According to Tao Jun's account, several young ladies were sent there by Hu Yingshao. Perhaps we can get some key clues from their mouths.
Now this is an interesting situation.
Tao Jun said that he was doing things for Hu Yingshao. Hu Yingshao said that he had no idea about those things and that it was Tao Jun who was spitting on people.
Both sides have their own opinions, and no one is willing to give in.
From an objective point of view, Tao Jun himself is full of abuses and does not look like a good person; Hu Yingshao is a well-known calligrapher and a quite prestigious and influential public figure.
Then we put aside personal testimony and start from what has been confirmed. The two Wang Youcai brothers killed people and prepared to run away. Tao Jun broke into the house and stole Wang Youcai's USB flash drive with the intention of usurping the throne.
All things were internal conflicts within Wang Youcai's forces and had nothing to do with Hu Yingshao.
Just looking at this, most people who have no in-depth understanding will choose to believe Hu Yingshao.
This is the brilliance of his methods.
If it weren't for the police officers present who had learned from Tian Hao about Hu Yingshao's support for Wang Youcai back then, they might have actually regarded this sanctimonious old guy as a good person.
Even the police in charge of the case can be deceived, let alone the public who can only see superficial information.
"This old guy is really hard to deal with."
Jiang Kaiji cursed and returned to his office, stuffing his police ID card into his coat.
"It's okay, I have a solution."
While they were sending Hu Yingshao to detention, Jin Ping'an had already returned to the lounge and changed his clothes: "Old Tian, can you go to Hu Yingshao's house to search?"
Tian Hao nodded: "He surrendered himself, and according to what he said, he had a quarrel with Wang Youcai last night.
Even if it is just to investigate the whereabouts of brother Wang Youcai, we have the right to search his house. "
Jin Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's no problem."
"Nothing is wrong. Since he has surrendered here, he must have processed all the evidence before coming here. Now we are looking for clues that can lead to the ghost."
Jiang Kaiji muttered a few words casually, then put on his holster and prepared to go to the weapons depot to get the gun.
Jin Pingan and Tian Hao looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
"Although you are not good at other abilities, I am satisfied with finding clues.
Since you want to investigate, let Lao Tian go with you, and I will take people to the club where Wang Youcai was...
Speaking of which, it's early in the morning. Are they working at the club? Or haven't gotten off work yet? "
Jiang Kaiji muttered to himself while walking towards the warehouse.
When handling cases in the past, Jin Pingan used his backtracking ability to find key evidence, and Tian Hao would find a way to come up with a reasonable explanation, so everyone always regarded Jin Pingan as a clue tool.
I didn't have much suspicion about this kind of initiative to check Hu Yingshao's house.
Since Tian Hao had just resumed his job yesterday and hadn't handed in his gun, he didn't need to follow him to the warehouse and took Jin Ping'an directly to the parking shed.
"Old Tian, where was the high prosecutor yesterday?"
Jin Pingan asked while sitting in the passenger seat.
Tian Hao stared at the screen on the navigation system. After making sure that no one was in the car, he started to reverse the car.
"He is a prosecutor sent by the higher authorities to assist in the investigation. He is not from our criminal police team. Who knows where he is."
Tian Hao glanced at Jin Pingan: "What, our captain has to look at his face to act, do you still want others to follow you to investigate the case?"
"No, no, I'm just curious."
Jin Ping'an waved his hand quickly: "Look yesterday, he exposed Tao Jun's lies in just a few words, and he even knew the confession testimony prepared by Hu Yingshao for Tao Jun. Do you think he had already mastered Hu Yingshao's criminal evidence?"
Jin Ping'an became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke: "Did the high prosecutor see that the public security environment in Qianhua City is getting worse and worse, so he was specially sent here to investigate related cases?"
"Stop dreaming. They came here to investigate a bank robbery case. They just couldn't find a breakthrough for the time being, so they came here to investigate this kidnapping case."
Tian Hao mercilessly shattered Jin Ping'an's fantasy: "If I hadn't obtained the contact information of this high prosecutor from Liu Yuan yesterday and sent the compiled materials, would they have known about this serial incident? It’s not necessarily a kidnapping case.”
"I'm just talking." Jin Ping'an said in frustration.
He actually knew in his heart that these cases might cause a sensation locally, but that was all.
The Asian League is so big that similar things are inevitable. It is impossible for the higher-ups to handle everything personally.
Otherwise, what are local units used for?
But after a while, he cheered up again: "Since Prosecutor Gao is involved in this case, it will definitely not be easy for Hu Yingshao to operate. At least there is no need to worry that this case will be treated coldly."
"Moreover, we have been investigating something for so long but we still haven't figured it out. He just looked at the information for a few hours and found out that Tao Jun is Hu Yingshao's person. This high-ranking prosecutor must have very powerful criminal investigation methods!"
"...That's true, but I still can't figure out how he could tell that Tao Jun was Hu Ying's man.
There is obviously no connection between the two, and we just learned about Tao Jun's betrayal through a messenger. "
Tian Hao frowned and said.
Jin Ping'an said contemptuously: "Okay, doesn't this mean that he has real abilities? Otherwise, why would he be a prosecutor and you are just a criminal policeman?"
"...You kid is still as ugly as ever!"
…………
The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the entrance of Hu Yingshao's community and swiped their card to enter.
The ID card was provided by Hu Yingshao himself.
It seems that he is very confident that the police will never find any clues from his home.
Normally, if you are not a criminal with a special hobby.
For example, they like to collect victims' belongings, hair, nails and other things as souvenirs.
You don't take things from the crime scene home.
Take Hu Yingshao as an example. According to his character, even if he accidentally brought it back, he would definitely have dealt with it last night.
Since this old fox is so proactive in cooperating with the investigation.
Then what you investigate must be what he wants you to see.
The truth is still buried in some unknown corner.
"Fortunately, you have the ability to be unreasonable. Otherwise, it would be difficult to catch this kind of person in just one or two years or two or three years."
Tian Hao put down the evidence collection box and said.
He placed the box at the door and took out evidence collection tools such as gloves, masks, shoe covers, tweezers, ultraviolet lamps, and flashlights.
Jin Ping'an put on the equipment handed over by Tian Hao and sighed: "It's just terrible to use."
When he thought about the consequences of using his ability, he felt his head begin to hurt again.
A trace of worry flashed in Tian Hao's eyes, and he turned his back to Jin Ping'an and said, "Why don't you rest for two more days, after all, you have just been discharged from the hospital not long ago.
Today we will collect items that can be traced back. Anyway, we have already caught the person, so we don’t have to worry about new victims..."
Before Tian Hao could finish what he said, Jin Ping'an refused directly: "No, it's better to find evidence as soon as possible. No one knows whether Hu Yingshao has any back-up plan."
"makes sense."
Tian Hao nodded in agreement, but he didn't want Jin Ping'an to use his backtracking ability now: "You'd better rest for two days first. Only you have this ability. No one knows whether it will leave anything in the future. Serious sequelae..."
Jin Pingan ignored Tian Hao's persuasion.
His IQ occupied a high ground for the first time in a long time: "Hu Yingshao's voluntary surrender and severing of external contact means that he must have arranged all his funeral arrangements.
Maybe others were helping him destroy key evidence at this time, and since he dared to send the victim to Wang Youcai's club, it meant that he must have something to rely on and was not afraid of those witnesses. "
"The only one left to deal with this old fox now is me, the cheating guy."
Jin Pingan stood at the door, looked at the living room, took a deep breath, and strode in.
Although the sequelae were painful, they were temporary, and he was the only one who suffered.
If Hu Yingshao is allowed to successfully destroy the evidence, the victims will suffer, and they will sink in darkness for the rest of their lives.
Jin Pingan would rather go to the hospital and stay in bed for a few more days than watch Hu Yingshao continue to be at large.
