"gentlemen……"
A restrained and crying voice sounded.
Then, there was a click.
The iron door of the independent interrogation room was closed.
There were two police officers standing in the room. They were tall, with gray hair, and their eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could see through the soul.
However, what frightened Helen the most was the two people in front of her. One looked ordinary, but could command a large number of police officers, and the other was even more outrageous, turning out to be a senior superintendent.
Will this combination interfere with the turf war between Orioles?
Just as she was thinking about it, the person who made Helen feel most uneasy spoke. Lu Li said in a deep voice:
"You should know why I'm looking for you."
"Yes." Helen's heart trembled. She was just an ordinary wanderer who had never seen the world. She had never experienced such a battle. She cried subconsciously: "I just participated in the fight and hurt the faces of two women. Just catching flowers..."
"Shut up!"
Officer Wensley's eyes were stern, "Answer whatever you ask, and then speak again when I ask you to provide additional explanations."
The combination of black and red faces, although this routine is very old, it is really effective.
Lu Li stood up, brought a cup of hot coffee over, looked at Helen who was trembling, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't be nervous, Ai Songen has already told us what happened, I just want you to make a supplement."
"Then what will I eventually be prosecuted for?"
Helen was doubtful and couldn't help but ask.
"If you cooperate fully, you will be released soon, but if you try to hide it..."
"Yes! Yes!"
After some contact, Lu Li's image in Helen's heart changed drastically. He was a savior who could help her avoid prosecution and return to a normal life.
In this way, while lowering his head and sipping coffee, he carefully described the entire process he learned from Aisongen.
As a client, Helen stated that there was nothing wrong, and that was indeed the case.
Of course, she also made it clear that she had not done anything particularly bad, nor was she targeting the victim. She was just forced by the majesty of her eldest sister, Katie, to apologetically scratch the faces of two strangers.
How can people not make mistakes?
This behavior should be understood and tolerated.
Unfortunately, Officer Wensley has no interest in such people's self-defense. Although he sympathizes with the weak, he is unwilling to have too much contact with them.
As for when he will be acquitted, it will have to wait until a breakthrough is made in the case.
"Okay, there is no doubt about that murder. Let's talk about the second one."
"At midnight, you killed a warbler from the opposing faction, and an hour later, in retaliation, the group killed a woman named Newberry, correct?"
Lu Li put down his pen and paper, examined the key witness in front of him, and applied pressure.
"That's right."
"Did anyone witness this process with their own eyes? Please tell me about it carefully."
At this time, Officer Wensley half-threatened: "Don't try to play tricks. We have held three people in solitary confinement. If the confessions are found to be inconsistent, the liars will be hanged as murderers."
Hanging.
An ancient and bloody punishment.
In this era of scarcity of entertainment, almost everyone has watched execution ceremonies, and those in power are willing to make such activities public to serve as an education and warning.
Just last month, Helen paid a silver coin to witness a hanging.
The victim murdered his washerwoman's fiancée, dismembered her body, and dumped her body across London. Then, he himself received justice.
The people cheered deafeningly, and bells of despair rang for the prisoner. At that moment, Helen felt that her soul had been sublimated, because she threw two rotten eggs at the corpse of the scumbag prisoner.
But now...
When she thought of being put on the pillory, being baptized with excrement, fish guts and mud amidst boos and shouts, Helen panicked again, saying nothing and sobbing continuously.
Seeing this, Wensley gave Lu Li a helpless smile. He really didn't expect things to turn out like this, but the effect shouldn't be too bad.
About five minutes later, Helen began to talk intermittently, and Lu Li asked someone to give her some warm food. Her mentality immediately changed, and she was in line with Ai Songen.
"After the conflict ended, I went to the street to solicit customers. After a while, I met a local customer. The business took about an hour and a half. It was time to go back to the tavern."
It can be seen that Helen has adapted to this industry, Chen Ken said generously: "Generally speaking, at that time, the guests are all drunk, and it is easiest to hook up."
Lu Li and Officer Wensley did not interrupt her and listened carefully to what happened during this period.
In fact, the second victim is the key.
"But an accident happened. When I was passing by an alley, I saw my eldest sister Katie and her mistress..."
Helen paused, she appeared a little nervous, and this move aroused Wensley's dissatisfaction. He frowned and said: "Don't stop, keep talking, what happened?"
"They had cleanup tools in their hands, and there was a body lying on the ground, and it was poor Newberry, who was a single mother."
"Do you know the murderer?" Lu Li asked while taking notes in his notebook.
"I don't know." Helen was as frightened as she hurriedly added: "But it should be the Oriole force that had a conflict with us before. After all, Sister Katie killed one of them..."
"Did you stop and say anything to either of them?"
Lu Li asked, "Who else witnessed the scene?"
"No, I happened to be passing by and saw this scene, and I didn't dare to say hello." Helen shook her head and said in a low tone: "I didn't look back and ran back to the tavern. I was too scared at the time and told Ai Songen about it. Then he was arrested and taken to the police station..."
A few minutes later.
The interrogation room became deserted, and Wensley, who had been away for a while, came back again. "I confirmed with Ai Songen that the wandering warbler named Helen just now did not lie."
"Are you going to interrogate Katie? I'm worried that if the delay continues, the concubine who helped her dispose of the body may get wind of it and abscond in advance."
"Yes." Lu Li also didn't want to waste any more time and said, "Assign a few experienced police chiefs to interrogate other people, and both sides will start working at the same time."
the other side.
Katie huddled tiredly in the corner, thinking for an unknown amount of time. Due to the heavy rain, it was impossible to judge the time through light.
Next to the iron bars of the detention room, there were three slices of fried brown bread and soup that had become completely cold.
"Tell me, what happened to you?"
"I see that the women in the next few rooms have been taken for interrogation." The strange roommate muttered.
On the ground, the drunk man was still sleeping soundly, snoring loudly.
