Tanwan gave him a glass of warm water and asked: "Besides this, think about it again, did you meet other people or encounter other things during this process?"
Xie Mowen didn't respond immediately. He held the glass in both hands and looked at the water in the glass and thought seriously for a while.
What he just said may be true, but words from a suspect cannot be used as evidence.
According to Xie Mowen's oral account, he acted alone during the entire process.
The current situation was very unfavorable for him. Tan Wan looked on anxiously, his brows furrowed in thought.
His fingerprints and shoe prints were left on the doors and windows at the scene. If the second suspect could not be found, Xie Mowen would be identified as the murderer of Dean Gao, and he would be unable to get away for a while.
"Mr. Xie, please think about it carefully." Tan Wan spoke softly and reminded, "You can tell us about any little things you see, even if they are trivial. Don't leave anything out."
Xie Mowen scratched the back of his head, a little desperate: "I really can't remember."
Suddenly, Xie Mowen had an idea in his head.
When people are forced into a desperate situation, their brains can always think of things that they have almost forgotten.
Xie Mowen's eyes widened and he shouted excitedly: "I...I remembered that I saw a man when I was about to enter the orphanage. He was climbing over the wall to get out!!"
Originally, Li Dongliao was still taking notes with his head down. After hearing Xie Mowen's words, he inadvertently raised his head.
"What kind of man is he?" There was a questioning tone in Li Dongliao's words.
He has seen many such suspects, and they generally tell lies.
In order to delay the criminal law for themselves, some people will make up a 'suspect' that does not exist to waste the criminal police's time.
"He looks like a middle-aged man, and he seems to be wearing a dark red jacket." Xie Mowen answered truthfully.
Just a minute ago, Xie Mowen just said that he couldn't remember anything.
The next second, he could even tell what the other person was wearing. The more Li Dongliao looked at the person in front of him, the more suspicious he felt.
Li Dongliao thought for a moment and questioned again: "I just said I didn't remember it, why did I suddenly remember it again?"
Xie Mowen pretended to be innocent and asked in a calm tone: "Is it illegal to have a bad memory, police officer?"
Li Dongliao was speechless: "It's not illegal...just keep talking."
Xie Mowen: "That man looks sneaky, I think he must have stolen something from the yard to look like that.
When I saw him he was scaling the fence. "
"Where's the iron fence to climb over?" Li Dongliao interrupted him in time, "Is it the fence to the east of the orphanage?"
Li Dongliao is from the north, and he is accustomed to using southeast, northwest and northwest to guide the way.
The east fence he mentioned was actually the fence on both sides of the orphanage gate.
"No, uh..." Xie Mowen couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. He raised his hand and gestured, "It's the side, the right."
"Didn't he see you?" Li Dongliao asked next.
"Probably not." Xie Mowen recalled it carefully, "When I saw him, he had just climbed over the railing and his back was turned to me. I think he didn't see me."
"Why do you think of such a big thing now?" Li Dongliao's voice was filled with dissatisfaction, as if he was blaming Xie Mowen for not speaking out earlier.
"I was a little nervous entering the interrogation room for the first time." Xie Mowen smiled awkwardly, "I just remembered it."
"What does that man look like?"
"I don't remember." Xie Mowen shook his head again.
"You even saw the color of his clothes clearly, but you didn't see what he looked like?"
"It was still dark at that time, and it was so dark in the mountains that I couldn't see clearly." Xie Mowen was unhappy. "The person just passed by in a flash. I didn't know that a murder would happen. How could I look so carefully!!"
He didn't like Li Dongliao's method of questioning. He clearly told the truth every sentence, but Officer Li kept asking about the details, making it seem like he was lying out of thin air.
Li Dongliao was silent for a moment and then said: "Mr. Xie, do you have any other things that 'just thought of'? It's best to say them all at once."
Xie Mowen turned his head away and said, "No more, that's all."
After leaving the interrogation room, Tan Wan took Li Dongliao's notes and looked at them in his hand.
Li Dongliao stood with Tanwan in the corridor with his hands on his hips.
He glanced around to make sure there was no one around and then said, "Why are you friends with such a person?"
Tan Wan kept his head down while flipping through his book without raising his head: "I said, he and I are just acquaintances, not familiar."
Hearing Tan Wan's words, Li Dongliao snorted: "Young Master, you interrupted me again and again just now, and you reminded Xie to think carefully and not to miss anything.
I have been working with you for so many years, and I have never seen you be so patient with any suspect!
The surveillance camera at the orphanage was broken on the day of the incident, but the surveillance footage from the previous two days was well preserved.
Don't think that I don't know about you and Xie Mowen's meeting with the dean yesterday.
I see, you have a good relationship with Mr. Xie~"
Li Dongliao was like a duck, quacking in Tanwan's ears, making her unable to calm down and read the transcript.
Tan Wan raised his hand, picked up the book and hit Li Dongliao on the chest with such force that he stepped back step by step.
"You know how to watch surveillance cameras, aren't you? Why, Officer Li, you still want to drag me into the interrogation room and interrogate me again?"
"I don't mean that!" Li Dongliao's expression was distorted after being beaten, and he raised his hand to block the attack.
"What I mean is that you don't have to pretend to be unfamiliar with Xie Mowen in front of me. I won't talk nonsense and it will be unnecessary!"
The next second, Tan Wan threw the transcript back into Li Dongliao's hands: "My relationship with him is not as complicated as you think.
If we really talk about the relationship, then I am his creditor. He owes me thousands of dollars and has not paid back.
If he wasn't the murderer but was wrongly convicted, wouldn't it mean that no one would pay me back? "
"Ah, is it because of this?" Li Dongliao held the notebook with a trace of surprise on his face.
"Well, it's getting late. You go to the nightclub that Xie Mowen said to confirm your confession, and then ask Xiao He to retrieve the surveillance video on the roadside of the village to see if there is a man in red who matches what Xie Mowen said. "
"Yes!!" Li Dongliao received the order, turned around and ran out.
Li Dongliao had just arrived outside the police station and was about to get in the car when he was suddenly stopped by someone behind him.
He turned around and saw Li Jue appearing in his sight.
"Hello, Consultant Li!" Li Dongliao said as usual, "Consultant Li asked me to ask for something. I'm in a hurry to go out and investigate the case."
"Your director asked me to pay attention to the case of the Red Heart Orphanage." Li Jue asked, "Where is your negotiation team?"
"Oh... Team Tan should go back to the office." Li Dongliao answered truthfully.
Li Jue nodded, whispered thank you, and went to the police station.
