Ade reported truthfully: "Mr. Zhao is a little impatient. He complained of thirst forty minutes ago and kept urging me to ask for water."
"If he's thirsty, just pour him a glass of ice water." Tan Wan's voice was light and lazy.
Ade thought he heard it wrong and repeated: "Ice water means cold water?"
"Add some ice cubes and take it out when you put it in." Tan Wan stretched, "If he asks, just tell him that the water heater hasn't been repaired yet and only has ice water, so let him drink it first."
Seeing that Ade had prepared a mug in his hand, she waved for him to take it closer: "How many milliliters is this cup?"
Ade raised the cup in his hand higher and stared at it for a long time: "Uh, it's about 200ml, right?"
"Change to a smaller-capacity cup." Tan Wanling said, adding, "It's bigger than the white wine cup. It's enough for him to soak it with water."
Five minutes later, Ade delivered the water to Zhao Yide.
Zhao Yide took it and looked at the Kung Fu tea cup in his hand and fell into deep thought.
After half a day, he raised the cup and asked, "You want me to drink from this?"
"Mr. Zhao, please use it slowly." After sending the water into the room, Ade quickly withdrew.
Zhao Yide opened his mouth half-open and returned his gaze to the small cup in front of him.
The width of the small teacup is only half the length of an index finger, and the depth of two or three thumbs is enough to take one sip.
He drank it down, and the cold water flowed down his esophagus into his lungs. Zhao Yide broke into a cold sweat instantly.
Not only did it feel colder after drinking it, but the water was not enough to quench my thirst. After drinking it, I wanted to drink more and felt thirstier.
I don't know how much time passed before Xia Zhiyue came back after answering the phone call.
She approached the conference room and saw Tan Wan still sitting outside the conference room. She asked in surprise: "What are you doing?"
When she spoke, she looked at Ade first. Ade was standing next to Tan Wan, doing nothing.
Ade caught Xia Zhiyue's gaze, dodged it for a moment, and then looked at Tan Wan aside.
"Officer Tan, what are you doing?" Xia Zhiyue stepped forward.
"Preparations for the interrogation." Tan Wan yawned, then turned to ask Ade, "How long has it been?"
Ade raised his hand and glanced at his watch and replied, "It's been three hours."
Tan Wan also glanced at his watch, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Wait a moment."
"What are you waiting for?" Xia Zhiyue turned her attention to Ade again.
Ade told Xia Zhiyue one by one what Miss Tan asked them to do. Xia Zhiyue immediately understood Tan Wan's intention, and her expression changed in the next second.
"It is illegal to torture to extract a confession. You are too bold to do this! What should we do if Zhao Yide complains?" Xia Zhiyue lowered her voice, fearing that the people inside would pick up the clues.
Tan Wan, "I did not deny him water or food, nor did I detain the suspect longer than necessary, nor did I violently beat him. This does not qualify as torture to extract a confession as you mentioned."
Xia Zhiyue looked at Ade, who nodded, meaning that Miss Tan was right.
She had nothing to say and took a step back: "I will give you the last two hours, and the detention time cannot exceed five hours."
Tan Wan smiled slightly and showed an expression of determination: "By the way, there is one more thing that Officer Xia needs to send someone to check."
"What?" Xia Zhiyue asked with her hands on her hips and a sad look on her face.
"Cream chocolate donuts in the trash can in the bride's room." Tan Wan pointed to the bride's room not far away, "Before the incident, I accidentally saw Zhao Yide feeding this to the bride."
Xia Zhiyue was a little impatient: "What's the point of donuts?"
"Officer Xia didn't know that just 12 hours ago, the Qian and Zhao families broke off their engagement and caused an ugly commotion. The groom was humiliated to the extreme by the Qian family. I looked at him very unconvinced and wanted to hate the Qian family to the core.
What would Officer Xia do if he was humiliated? "
Xia Zhiyue brought herself into Zhao Yide's situation and quickly replied: "What else can I do? Of course I would like to break off the engagement and then stay away from the Qian family forever."
"But Zhao Yide not only swallowed his breath, but also bought donuts to please Qian Zhaoer."
Tan Wan paused when he said this: "Officer Xia, don't you think this person's attitude changed too quickly?"
From Tan Wan's guidance, Xia Zhiyue slowly understood: "You mean..."
"It is possible that Zhao Yide will transfer his thoughts of revenge against the Qian family to Qian Zhaoer."
Tan Wan stopped talking and looked at Xia Zhiyue with calm eyes.
Xia Zhiyue immediately waved her hand: "Go quickly and send all the food in the bride's room back to the police station for inspection!"
Taking advantage of the inspection time, after waiting for a while, Tan Wan took another look at the time.
When the time was almost up, she stood up and stretched her limbs: "Let's go and see Zhao Yide."
As soon as the door of the conference room was pushed open, a biting cold air hit my face.
Xia Zhiyue was startled by the cold wind and couldn't help but shiver.
On this February day, it’s already freezing cold and snowing outside. Why is it so much colder indoors than outside? ?
Looking at Zhao Yide again, I saw that the stool under Zhao Yide's butt had been replaced by a hard bench.
Zhao Yide sat tremblingly on the chair, and the headlight on the interrogation table in front of him was shining on his face.
Xia Zhiyue quietly came to Tan Wan and whispered: "He stayed like this for four and a half hours alone??"
Tan Wan said nothing and only responded with his eyes.
The suspect Zhao Yide in front of him looked dull, his eyes looked dazed, and his spirit had been destroyed to the extreme.
His hands naturally hung at his sides, his back was slightly slumped, and his head was knocked against the corner of the table.
Seeing people coming into the conference room, Zhao Yide stared at them for a long time and said: "Let me go quickly... Please don't leave me here alone anymore..." ..”
Ade added a chair in front of the interrogation table for Officer Tan to sit down, and then blocked the corner of the table with his hand to prevent the suspect from harming himself: "Mr. Zhao, please don't harm yourself."
"I really can't take it anymore. I've stayed here long enough!" Zhao Yide looked at Xia Zhiyue with longing eyes, "Officer Xia, I've said everything I need to say, what else do you want me to say??"
"Tell me again." Tan Wan turned the pen in his hand and said, "Tell me again what you and Officer Xia said."
"You... I think I've seen you before." Zhao Yide looked at Tan Wan uncertainly and thought for a long time.
Then I remembered that Miss Tan, who exposed Qian Zhaoer's fake death at the door of the bride's room yesterday, was the person in front of me.
Zhao Yide was not a person with a photographic memory, so he asked cautiously and tentatively: "Are you...Miss Tan?"
"This is Officer Tan, helping us understand the entire process of Qian Zhaoer's murder."
