The two detectives standing behind looked at each other with a bit of contempt in their eyes.
[If this is all you have, you'd better save some energy. This person is inexperienced and you won't be able to ask anything. 】
To be honest, the meaning above is very simple. Anyway, the current case has reached a dead end at this point, so you might as well be a live doctor.
Bai Zhe looked up at the clock on the wall. It was now ten o'clock in the evening, a full five hours had passed since the incident.
Suddenly, Bai Zhe frowned slightly.
It's summer now, and besides, he's only been here for five hours.
During these five hours, he must have gone through rounds of interrogations by the criminal police. Why did he ask his wife to give him a quilt as soon as he started?
This must be related to some important information, or his wife needs to send him a code.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhe said faintly: "I might as well tell you the truth. Your wife has been closely monitored by us. It is impossible for her to come to give you a quilt."
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, the big man immediately became nervous.
"What? I've done something wrong, why are you spying on my wife?"
When he asked this question, he thought to himself, "This is bad, I've been fooled." 】
But everything can't be made up for. Even if he said that he was completely relaxed, in Bai Zhe's eyes, it was just a cover-up.
"You can't lie to me. This matter has nothing to do with her at all. Even if you monitor her, it will be useless."
Bai Zhe grinned: "Really? Then do you think you can still get your reward with so many police watching?"
"Buzz!"
The big man was startled, his head buzzing.
In just a blink of an eye, the two detectives glanced at Bai Zhe doubtfully.
[As expected, he was right, there is really a problem here. 】
Bai Zhe slowly leaned back on the chair and took a deep breath.
"Tell me, how much will I give you in total?"
"Me, what money? Don't frame me!"
Bai Zhe shook off the file, stood up and shouted sternly: "I'm telling you, if you don't speak out today, you'll be shot!"
Bai Zhe's sudden shout made the big man tremble all over.
"You, don't frame good people, it's illegal to torture someone to extract a confession!"
Bai Zhe walked directly to the iron fence, pointed at the big man and said, "You still don't admit it, do you? If you wait for me to say it out, you will lose this opportunity forever!"
Bai Zhe's actions completely frightened the big man, and he swallowed hard looking at Bai Zhe.
At this moment, he was beginning to panic. It was obvious that Bai Zhe's words reminded him that if his wife was under surveillance, he would never be able to get the remaining money in his lifetime.
He thought again about the place where he hid the money. That place was very conspicuous. If the news could not be sent out early and the money was taken away, he would never get a penny.
"I said, I said everything..."
Bai Zhe turned around and looked at the two detectives, who quickly picked up their pens and started recording.
"That night when I was driving back home, I met a man in black on the way. He said that as long as I did one thing for him, he would give me 500,000 yuan as a reward. He also directly told me the school where my daughter went to school. It seemed that I knew I was short of money recently, so I agreed."
“Tell me more specifically, what month, what time, what time, where, and what does that person look like?”
…
Bai Zhe turned around and walked out of the interrogation room. After coming out, he sat directly on Li Li's car.
"What's going on? Is it over?"
Li Li asked suspiciously when he saw Bai Zhe getting into the car absentmindedly.
Bai Zhe shook his head silently and said: "The breakthrough has been opened. This is indeed a paid murder case, but as for the mastermind behind the scenes, this person cannot provide any useful value."
"Fuck!" Li Li slapped the steering wheel hard.
Bai Zhe vaguely felt that this matter would involve many people, so he turned to Li Li and asked, "Do you also want to know who the murderer is behind the scenes?"
Li Li looked at Bai Zhe strangely and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? You must want to know. With such a big case, the bureau has put aside everything and is working hard to investigate the case."
Bai Zhe nodded and said, "That's easy. Now take me to see someone."
"Who?" Li Li looked at Bai Zhe alertly.
He knew that once it was the person Bai Zhe wanted to see seriously, he would have an important connection with the case, or he must be a high-ranking official.
After learning from Jiang Wentao's mistakes, Li Li had an inexplicable trust in Bai Zhe.
"Guo Jiangtao..."
Bai Zhe spat out the name lightly.
Li Li took a deep look at Bai Zhe and immediately started the car without saying a word.
The car turned a corner in front of the detention center gate and drove directly onto the main road leading to the city.
In fact, Bai Zhe was not completely sure. He just wanted to determine the final murderer through elimination.
But the matter is not as simple as imagined.
First, because of Guo Yanjun's incident, Guo Jiangtao was hostile to Bai Zhe. Not to mention Bai Zhe looking for him, he wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble for Bai Zhe. Taking the initiative to come to your door now is tantamount to courting death.
Second, without any evidence, if Bai Zhe dares to ask an executive deputy governor straight to the point, this is a very serious party issue, and the other party may even have the right to directly remove Li Li from his position. go. It is conceivable that as a mayor, Bai Zhe will directly turn into powder.
Third, there is also the possibility of alerting the enemy. If no evidence is caught and Guo Jiangtao becomes wary, he will have enough time to eliminate all evidence against him. It is absolutely not possible to initiate an investigation into the Executive Vice Governor unless absolutely necessary.
This was also Tang Mingwei's biggest headache during his lifetime.
But Bai Zhe understood that even if Tang Mingwei didn't die, this matter would eventually come to him sooner or later.
For no other reason than just a promise, Bai Zhe had to bite the bullet and pull him out of the party and government ranks.
Bai Zhe touched the USB flash drive in his pocket. He knew that this was his only hope to fight back.
It is not difficult to tell from the angle of the photo that it was taken by Guo Yanjun himself.
This photo alone is enough to make Guo Yanjun, who is in prison, more guilty.
But if you think about it more carefully, if Guo Jiangtao is really behind this incident, it is not difficult to predict how determined he is to avenge his past shame at the expense of his son's prison life.
This person's heart was so dark that Bai Zhe couldn't help but shudder.
"How do you plan to ask Guo Yanjun out?"
Li Li asked, this is the consistent method of criminal police handling cases. In order to avoid unnecessary negative impacts, they will make an appointment with the victim in advance to meet at a location.
Bai Zhe uttered three words: "Call."
Li Li smiled: "I know, I'm asking you why you plan to ask him out."
This is an excuse that must be thought of in advance. If the call is made and the person is unwilling to come out, the two of them can only stare.
Bai Zhe said softly: "I will have a way when the time comes."
After hearing what Bai Zhe said, Li Li didn't say anything more and just drove the car to the gate of the provincial party committee compound.
After stopping the car, Bai Zhe took out his mobile phone and dialed Guo Yanjun's number directly.
This was the only way he could contact Guo Jiangtao. It was not impossible to ask Li Li to call, but if the other party saw the call and could choose not to answer it, then it would be all in vain.
Bai Zhe's number was at least an unfamiliar number, which at least avoided the possibility of alerting someone.
In the quiet night, the blind tone on the other end of the phone was particularly clear. Li Li counted a total of five rings before the other party picked up the phone.
Normally, leaders answer the phone with three beeps. If it beeps five times, they must be worried about something.
"Hello?"
Guo Jiangtao's deep voice came from over there.
Bai Zhe took a deep breath and said straight to the point: "Governor Guo, this is Bai Zhe. I'm calling you so late because I want to talk to you about Guo Yanjun's sentence."
After Bai Zhe finished speaking, the other party was silent for a while.
It took a long time before he replied: "Just talk on the phone."
Bai Zhe smiled and said: "I have a USB flash drive in my hand, and I want to hand it to you personally."
"Where are you?"
Bai Zhe glanced outside and said, "In front of the provincial party committee compound."
Guo Jiangtao took a deep breath and said, "There is a Xingtianya Internet Cafe in the alley opposite the compound. Go there and wait for me."
"Okay, see you there or see you."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Zhe smiled and looked at Li Li: "Let's go, send me there, and you can find a place to hide."
Li Li looked at Bai Zhe in surprise: "Okay, you can handle it so easily."
Bai Zhe leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms and said, "Of course, no one will dare to disobey my words!"
Sure enough, not far after the car turned into the alley, I saw an Internet cafe, with neon lights flashing under the midnight sky, which was particularly conspicuous.
The car stopped, Bai Zhe opened the door and got out. Then the car started to smoke and disappeared into the night.
Bai Zhe looked up at the sign and walked in.
At this time, there were many people in the Internet cafe, shouting and playing CS, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Help me open two machines."
Bai Zhe came to the counter and took the lead in pushing a ten-yuan bill and ID card in front of the bartender.
"Overnight or temporary?"
"All night long." Bai Zhe replied simply.
It was now half past eleven in the evening, and staying up all night after ten o'clock was five yuan, or two yuan an hour if needed. Bai Zhe didn't think it was troublesome, so he just chose to stay up all night.
The bartender was a little girl with dreadlocks. She glanced at Bai Zhe and lowered her head to record it in her notebook. Then she took the money and handed back her ID card and a piece of paper saying: "Second floor, 105 and 106."
"Thank you." Taking the ID card and the note, Bai Zhe turned and went upstairs.
The little girl couldn't help but take a second look at these middle-aged men in formal attire.
"I didn't expect that rich people also like to come to Internet cafes. It's really strange."
Bai Zhe ignored her whispers and went straight up the stairs.
The second floor is much quieter than the first floor. There is a song "The Old Man and the Sea" playing above the head. Looking at the more than 50 machines on the second floor, there are only a dozen or so people, either playing Red Alert or playing barking. "Meteor Butterfly Sword" is a martial arts action game.
Of course, there were also a few people watching movies at this time. When they saw Bai Zhe coming up, they unconsciously sat up and continued to rub their chins while enjoying the hot action movies on the computer screen.
