When I arrived at the police station, I found that the small courtyard was already crowded with people.
They were all the people who went fishing last night, including those idle bullies.
Chen Tianfu, Liu Facai and others were also there. When they saw Tang Genshui and others walking into the yard, they quickly came over and asked, "Uncle, are you here too? Where is Tang Jiancheng?"
Tang Genshui said: "He came in a police car. Didn't you see him?"
Chen Tianfu and others shook their heads and said comfortingly: "Uncle, don't worry, it's not us who beat him. It has nothing to do with us. At most, we just give him a few words of reprimand."
Liu Facai also said: "Uncle, Chen Tianfu is right, it has nothing to do with us. However, his brother Chen Tiancai is probably a little implicated, because one of the people who died was from his previous team."
Tang Genshui asked: "What on earth is going on? How could someone die?"
Liu Facai said: "After we left, the members of Chen Tiancai's team, the idle bullies, and the other eighteen households who failed to form a team, the three parties became more and more violent in order to grab the fish, and finally one bully used a knife. , stabbed a person to death on the spot."
"That man was also cruel. Before he died, he held on to the bully and dragged him into the ice cave. The bully also froze to death."
"The facts of the deaths of these two people are very clear. Moreover, since both parties involved in the incident are dead, there is nothing to investigate."
"What we need to investigate now is the cause of death of the third deceased."
"It is said that this man was beaten up first, and then hit in the head by someone unknown. He fell to the ground in a daze. The scene was very chaotic at that time. Who would look to see if there was anyone on the ground? "
"So, you kicked me and I kicked you, and I trampled that man to death!"
Tang Genshui and others sighed after hearing this, "This man is so unlucky. How can he find the murderer now? Is it possible to arrest everyone?"
Tang Jianbo shook his head and said: "We won't arrest them all, because the law does not punish everyone! Moreover, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If so many people are arrested, it will definitely alarm the county. By then, the township cadres and comrades from the police station will all Don’t even think about it.”
"So, they will definitely arrest a few key people!"
"For example, those who hit the man in the beginning and the one who smashed his head. In addition, the people who organized this fishing will definitely bear certain responsibilities."
"Ah? Third brother? If you say that, wouldn't fourth brother..." Tang Jianbing looked worried.
Tang Jianbo said in a deep voice: "It depends on the judgment of the leaders above, Fourth Brother..."
"Okay, Third Brother, stop talking. This is all your guess, and it's not true." Tang Jianwen scolded Tang Genshui, and then comforted Tang Genshui, "Dad, don't worry, Fourth Brother has become so capable recently. , I’ve had a drink with the mayor, everything will be fine.”
"Yes, yes, dad, I was just talking nonsense." Tang Jianbo also quickly advised.
Tang Genshui waved his hands, found a place to sit down, and then took out the pipe with trembling hands. When he was about to take out the shredded tobacco, he couldn't take it out. When he was angry, he tore his pockets directly and then took out the pipe. Take out the tobacco.
When Tang Jianwen saw him, he quickly took his tobacco, filled it with cigarettes for him, and continued to comfort him: "Dad, don't worry, it's okay."
In the interrogation room.
Tang Jiancheng sat alone on the interrogation chair and looked around curiously.
This was the first time in his two lives that he had entered such a place.
I had only seen it on TV before, but now, experiencing it in person, I felt not panic, but a sense of novelty.
The police station director, deputy director and township head Chen Yuan sat on a long table and interrogated him personally.
"Tang Jiancheng, tell me honestly, did the person who died last time have something to do with you?"
Deputy Director Tan Yong looked like he was interrogating a prisoner, staring fiercely at Tang Jiancheng.
Chen Yuan frowned, but didn't say anything.
Director Yang Weiguo looked at Tan Yong in surprise, wondering why this old man who was usually very strict and not easily angry was acting so abnormally today.
Tang Jiancheng was also stunned by the question, "Comrade police, I didn't understand what you meant?"
"Tang Jiancheng, stop pretending to be confused! Let me ask you, were you there when eight people drowned in the Haoshan Reservoir last time?" Tan Yong shouted.
"Yes." Tang Jiancheng replied.
"Were you going fishing at that time?" Tan Yong asked again.
"yes."
"Were there too many people and you couldn't find a good seat?"
"yes."
"So, for your own benefit, you secretly broke the ice and let people fall into the water and drown. This way you have a chance to fish, right?"
"ah?"
"Don't pretend to be confused! Answer me honestly, right?"
"no."
Tan Yong angrily shouted: "No? You still want to quibble? I tell you, you can't deny it! I have witnesses!"
At this time, not only Yang Weiguo was surprised, but Chen Yuan was also surprised, thinking to himself: Could it be that Tang Jiancheng had offended Lao Tan?
"Wait a minute, comrade police!"
Tang Jiancheng finally realized that something was wrong, "You came to me to ask about the killing of people this time, didn't you? Why did it bring up the matter of drowning people last time? Besides, the eight people who drowned last time , it has nothing to do with me! Did I even save a person at that time?"
"Tang Jiancheng!"
Tan Yong suddenly shouted angrily, "Our police have always been fair and impartial in handling cases, and we pay attention to evidence. If there are no witnesses, I will arbitrarily and unjustly accuse you, a common citizen? I will give you one last chance. Tell me honestly how you killed those eight people!" "
"I didn't! Don't even think about trying to accuse me wrongly!"
If it were Tang Jiancheng in his previous life, he might have been frightened by Tan Yong and then muddleheadedly confessed. However, Tang Jiancheng in this life has seen a lot of storms and waves, and his expression is very calm.
"Comrade police, if you have a witness, let him come out and confront him! I was indeed at the scene that day, but I was always on the shore. Many people saw me at the time. If I hadn't decisively lit a fire, I would have died. There will be more people!”
Hearing this, Tan Yong was ready to scold again, but Chen Yuan coughed slightly and said, "Old Tan, our village has also investigated this matter. It is indeed an accident, not a homicide."
"Okay, since the mayor has done a detailed investigation, let's skip this issue and now let's talk about the murder case in front of us!"
Tan Yong was so thick-skinned that he easily exposed his previous gaffe with just one sentence, and continued to stare at Tang Jiancheng fiercely, "Tell me, was it your instigation this time?"
After Tang Jiancheng heard this, he wanted to curse: "Damn it, your ancestors, are you mentally ill?!"
But as a man of two generations, he said nothing at this moment and just looked at Tan Yong indifferently.
But I was thinking: Is this one of his tactics for handling cases? Or are you deliberately targeting yourself? If it's the latter, then why would he do this? It seems that I have never offended him, right?
Suddenly, a figure flashed in his mind.
Could it be that guy instigated it?
