Another round of interrogation is completed.
After the interrogators left, Rhodes sat quietly in his seat.
A female mountain policeman handed him a glass of hot water.
"Drink some water. It's already night now. You haven't eaten anything for most of the day, and you haven't drank a sip of water."
Rhodes raised his head and glanced at the female mountain policeman with a dull look.
He laughed miserably and said to the female mountain policeman: "Thank you."
He took the water glass but kept it in his hand without taking a sip.
The female mountain police officer didn't know what to say when she saw this.
But considering the old criminal guard's explanation, she didn't have too much contact with Rhodes.
She sat down next to her colleague and looked at Rhodes quietly.
Not long after, an old criminal guard walked in from outside the door.
The old detective is called Lao Chen and he looks to be in his forties.
Although he is not very old, he has been working in the criminal guards for nearly twenty years.
Among all criminal guards, he is an old criminal guard with the highest probability of solving crimes. He has handled many major and important cases that shocked the country.
Normally, small cases of this type would never appear in front of him.
This time I had to come because I was entrusted by someone.
From the surveillance of the criminal guards, he saw the whole process of Luo Yuwei and Chen Yixin falling to death.
Although it cannot be said that it was Rhodes' fault, the deaths of the two people were inseparable from him.
Moreover, the deaths of the two seemed like an accident, but Lao Chen smelled something unusual.
It was precisely because of his persistence that the criminal guards questioned Rhodes, a seemingly unrelated person, for half a day like a suspect.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Rhodes' performance was flawless, as if he was really an ordinary person who had lost his lover.
But this also made Lao Chen feel that either he was really innocent and showed his true feelings in all situations; or he was sinister in his heart and hid everything deeply.
With many years of experience, Lao Chen vaguely felt that the latter was more likely.
It is precisely because of his keen sense that he can solve many major cases.
He believes in himself very much.
After Lao Chen entered the house, he said to the female mountain policeman and criminal guard: "You all should go out first!"
The female mountain police officer stood up and said, "This does not comply with the regulations! Doesn't all interrogations require more than two people?"
The criminal guard on the side quickly grabbed her.
“Go, go, go”
"This is not allowed!"
As the female mountain policeman spoke, she was forcefully pulled out by her companions.
Rhodes and Lao Chen were the only ones left in this interrogation room.
Old Chen closed the door, pulled out a chair, and sat across from Rhodes' table.
He looked at Rhodes with scrutiny in his eyes.
"Aren't you still willing to confess?"
"ah?"
Rhodes didn't seem to hear clearly, and his eyes that had been stagnant for a long time slowly moved from the water glass to Lao Chen.
"Why do you want to kill them?"
Rhodes looked indignant and said to Lao Chen, who was close at hand:
"If you just want to find someone to blame and give an explanation to the people above you as soon as possible, then you can put all the charges on me."
Old Chen was not interested in what Rhodes said.
"The empire is about laws!"
"Ha!" Rhodes sneered, and then fell into silence again.
The reason why the empire is an empire is precisely because it follows a feudal monarchy.
Things like the rule of law are always relative, and it depends on who the target is.
Although I have a hundred ways to kill Luo Yuwei and Chen Yixin.
But no matter what, even if they die outside in a car accident, as long as they die, the people behind them will find out about them.
Therefore, it is better to kill them and give yourself a reasonable opportunity to exit.
Hearing Rhodes' cold snort, Old Chen said calmly: "Don't you believe in the laws of the empire?"
Rhodes took a deep breath and said, "I believe it."
Lao Chen said:
"You don't have to say these bastard things, I know you don't believe it.
But as long as you tell me honestly why you killed them, I will definitely fight for a commutation of your sentence. "
Rhodes shook his head, looking very depressed.
"Li Shaoyuan, what you are committing now is not a big deal, you are just an indirect principal offender.
As long as you are honest and frank, I will definitely fight for a reduced sentence for you.
You are still young, and you still have a lot of good years ahead of you. If you are found to have problems because you don't confess, the sentence you will face will be very long.
My rights are very high, and I, Chen Nuo, will definitely be able to reduce his sentence 100%. "
Rhodes seemed to be completely unable to listen. He looked at the water glass again and slowly fell into a daze.
Lao Chen chatted for a long time.
He tried no matter whether it was temptation, coercion or intimidation, but Rhodes still looked like he was dying.
Even so, Lao Chen was not impatient.
After all, in their line of work, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so sometimes you have to grind it slowly.
In fact, he couldn't figure out why he thought Li Shaoyuan was the murderer, but his feeling was always accurate.
Therefore, even without any evidence, he decided to believe in himself.
He left the interrogation room, and the female mountain policeman and male criminal guard returned to their original positions.
The female mountain policeman stared blankly at Rhodes opposite.
She often watches movies and TV series and has fans of many stars.
Many celebrities, both red and purple, have high regard for Li Shaoyuan in many public occasions.
From this, she was curious about the name and through private investigation, she had a certain understanding of Li Shaoyuan.
In her impression, Li Shaoyuan is a very generous and good mentor who is good at helping others.
Not only does he donate all the money he earned from acting over the years to the orphanage, but he also uses his salary to support poor students every year.
How could such a good person, without any grudge or any evidence, get involved in something like murder for no reason?
It was clearly a lizard that suddenly appeared under surveillance and frightened the two women. What does their death have to do with Li Shaoyuan?
Why do you have to think it's his problem?
He is such a good person, what did he do wrong?
In order to solve the case and maintain a high detection rate, is it necessary to wrongly accuse a good person and even force him to confess?
The female mountain police officer felt angry again thinking that Lao Chen had ignored the interrogation regulations.
The female mountain policeman looked at Rhodes silently.
At this time, Rhodes seemed to be lost in memories.
His eyes were sometimes happy, sometimes speechless, and soon fell into sadness again.
The female mountain policeman felt that he and she must be very much in love.
How could someone like him who missed his girlfriend be a murderer?
The female mountain policeman stood up from her chair.
"What are you doing?" his companion asked in confusion.
"I"
She was about to say that she was going to defend Rhodes, but she thought that she was also a quiet person.
Now that the case has been taken over by the best criminal guard in the empire, what can she say as a newcomer who has only been on the job for less than half a month?
If he told me, he might even lose his job.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
She could only mutter: "It's meal time, I'll buy him some food and come back. The suspect's life is also his life. What if he starves to death?"
My companion thought so, so he said, "Bring me one too."
The female mountain policeman responded, then slammed the door angrily and left.
Her companions, who were startled by the sound of the door closing, thought she was a bit strange.
You just bought me a meal, why are you slamming the door?
Not long after, the female mountain policeman came back with three meals.
One for myself, one for my companions, and one for Rhodes.
My companion opened the lunch box and started eating without asking any questions.
The female mountain policeman also opened her lunch box, but saw that Rhodes still didn't move.
She reminded: "Teacher Li Shaoyuan, no matter what, you should eat something first."
Rhodes seemed to have not heard anything and still sat there blankly.
Seeing this, she tried to persuade her: "If Ms. Luo Yuwei were still alive, she definitely wouldn't want you to see her without food or water like this."
It seemed that because of Luo Yuwei's name, Rhodes' stiff body seemed to be activated.
He turned around and looked at the female mountain policeman with his bloodshot eyes, and then looked at the lunch box on the table.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you."
Seeing Rhodes' reaction, the female mountain police officer quickly continued:
"Eat quickly. There is braised pork in the lunch box. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
After hearing the female mountain policeman's words, his companion paused in his planing action.
He looked at the lunch box in front of him. Where was the braised pork in it?
Why didn't I see it?
He looked at the lunch box in front of Rhodes.
I saw Rhodes opening the lunch box. It was not as clear and watery as his own, but was covered with a thick layer of braised pork.
He asked the female mountain policeman in a low voice: "Why is there no braised pork in my lunch box?"
The female mountain police rolled her eyes at him: "You don't deserve it! Eat it if you like it! If you don't eat it, I'll pour it for you!"
As she spoke, she reached for her companion's lunch box.
Upon seeing this, his companion immediately stretched out his hand to cover the entire lunch box.
“If you want to eat, you must eat!”
Rhodes looked at the braised pork in front of him with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.
Luo Yuwei's favorite food is braised pork.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth.
The braised pork is smooth and tender in your mouth, melts in your mouth, and is oily but not greasy.
There is also a touch of mellow flavor of the sauce, which makes people feel extremely fresh and sweet.
Seeing that Rhodes finally ate, the female mountain policeman hurriedly asked:
"How does it taste? This is the Chef's stir-fry that I specially ordered! I heard those celebrities said that secretly you like this the most."
Rhodes looked at the female mountain policeman: "The braised pork is very delicious, but it is actually Yu Wei's favorite food."
Speaking of this, Rhodes' eyes showed some nostalgia, and then he couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"This braised pork is really delicious. If Yuwei were still alive, she would definitely love it."
"Well"
The female mountain police officer looked at Rhodes and shed tears. When she almost cried, she covered her mouth.
She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes secretly.
She looked at Rhodes and said, "You guys really love each other."
Rhodes didn't answer, but just ate the braised pork in the lunch box bite by bite, as if he was helping Luo Yuwei eat it.
Seeing this scene, the female mountain policeman's eyes were always red.
Rhodes took a long time to eat this meal.
After chewing everything in the lunch box carefully, I put the chopsticks on the table.
He looked at the female mountain policeman and smiled at her.
"Thank you for the meal. This was the best meal I've ever had."
The female mountain policeman quickly waved her hand and said: "No, no, it's just a small effort, no need to thank you."
After Rhodes finished his meal, he sat on the chair again and slowly fell into deep thought.
Time passed little by little, and the night gradually became deeper and deeper.
Just when the male criminal guards were dozing off, the door was opened from the outside.
Old Chen walked in, looked at Rhodes who was staring at the ceiling in a daze, and said:
"Li Shaoyuan, you can leave."
Rhodes seemed not to hear at all.
The female mountain police officer was even happier than Rhodes when she heard that she could leave.
She stepped forward and patted Rhodes:
"Teacher Li Shaoyuan, you are fine. You can leave now."
Only then did Rhode come to his senses.
He glanced at the female mountain policeman and then at Old Chen.
He didn't say anything, he just stood up silently.
Seeing Rhodes staggering out like an old man, the female mountain police officer asked Old Chen who was still in the interrogation room:
"Hello, has it been confirmed that instructor Li Shaoyuan is innocent?"
Lao Chen didn't answer, just glanced at her and left.
Looking at Old Chen's leaving figure, the female mountain police officer stamped her foot and whispered, "Who is he!"
Other people's words came from Lao Chen's headset.
"We have entered Li Shaoyuan's home and office. We have obtained all the equipment and are now arranging technicians to conduct inspections."
Lao Chen got into the car that was not started.
He said to the headset: "Not only his computer and mobile phone, but also all furniture and facilities must be carefully checked to see if there are hidden compartments, other documents or things similar to code pads." "Yes!"
The other party responded, and Lao Chen also hung up the headset communication.
In his opinion, Li Shaoyuan seems to be perfect, but in fact, any perfect crime always has a breakthrough.
A mediocre person can easily be misled, but he will never be misled!
Rhodes picked up his car and drove directly towards Liufeng Mountain.
Followed by a long string of tails.
Although Rhodes knew it, he didn't care at all now.
Instructor Li Shaoyuan from the Empire's first higher art academy is about to give his final performance.
Rhodes stopped the car halfway up the mountain.
The vehicle did not stop in the parking lot, but was just casually left on the roadside, as if it was no longer needed.
He walked towards the mountain, not using his mobile phone for lighting, but using the moonlight to move forward in the dark.
Lao Chen wore portable night vision glasses and followed behind.
Rhodes arrived at the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain was now in a mess.
The tents they had originally set up and the food they had laid out were now scattered everywhere, as if they had gone through a storm of searching.
Rhodes crossed over the debris and came to the place where Luo Yuwei and the two fell, and stood there quietly.
His stop lasted only an hour.
It's almost dawn.
Lao Chen didn't intend to hide anymore, so he walked out from behind.
"Li Shaoyuan, what are you remembering?"
Listening to the voice coming from behind, Rhodes replied calmly:
"There are some things you will never understand."
"Ha." Old Chen sneered.
“Although I don’t understand some things, I understand that only criminals will reappear at the crime scene.
They will be like curious babies to see if the criminal guards have discovered any clues about the crimes they committed.
Now, how should you explain your current behavior? "
Rhodes turned around and looked at Old Chen.
"Have you ever heard of a bird?"
Lao Chen did not follow Rhodes' answer, but asked instead:
"Do you think what you say now can dispel my doubts about you? My feelings are always accurate!
I think you, Li Shaoyuan, are the murderer who killed them both! You want to recruit or not! "
Rhodes ignored him and just said:
"I have to go eventually, so how can I live here? If my head is covered with mountain flowers, don't ask me where I want to go."
Hearing the determination in Rhodes' words, Old Chen said sternly: "Li Shaoyuan! What are you going to do?"
I saw Rhodes standing on the edge of the cliff, arms outstretched, and his whole body slowly falling towards the bottom of the cliff.
"No!"
Old Chen rushed towards Rhodes.
He rushed to the edge of the cliff vigorously, stretched out his hand and grabbed Rhodes' arm.
"Li Shaoyuan, don't be confused!"
Old Chen tried hard to pull Rod up.
But Rhodes just smiled and used his other hand to pry Lao Chen's fingers apart one by one.
"Goodbye, this world, never to come again!"
Rhodes' figure was like a smelly and hard stone, falling directly into the darkness.
A long while passed.
"Bang"
There was a sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, gently telling the surrounding quiet night sky.
Li Shaoyuan is dead.
Old Chen lay blankly on the edge of the cliff, his eyes full of confusion.
