Chapter 13 Dressing Table
Chapter 13 Dressing Table
Soon Zhao Qianyu was taken back to the police station by the serious crime squad for interrogation.
Along the way, Zhao Qianyu kept asking about Li Yueyue's case, when she died, how she died, and why she came to him.
After returning to the Criminal Police Brigade, Zhao Qianyu entered the interrogation room, while Du Yu talked with Xu Yiqing outside the door.
Xu Yiqing said: "Looking at him, it doesn't look like he's acting."
Du Yu said: "I have seen too many suspects acting, the details still depend on the evidence."
Xu Yiqing said: "You are an expert in this area... Can I sit in on the class?"
Du Yu thought for a moment and replied, "It won't happen again."
Interrogation is different from summoning the couple from the dog meat restaurant to take a statement. All signs indicate that Zhao Qianyu is a major suspect in the crime, so the serious crime team has listed him as a suspect in the case.
Xu Yiqing stood outside the glass window, assisted by Du Yu and a police officer who was taking notes in the room.
Zhao Qianyu sat behind the interrogation table, his expression anxious and his words full of accusations of his own innocence.
He shouted: "I have not broken any law. You police officers arrest people at will. I want to file a complaint against you!"
Du Yu frowned: "Don't shout, I just said you are a suspect, but I didn't say you must be the murderer."
Zhao Qianyu protested: "How did I become the murderer? Just because I had a conflict with Li Yueyue, she died and she blamed me... I don't even know how she died! She was hit by a car and she blamed me too?"
Du Yu said: "You just need to cooperate. If you are innocent, we will investigate it thoroughly."
Then he took the previous transcript from the police officer next to him, found the surveillance footage of the dog meat shop, and asked.
"You had an argument with Li Yueyue in front of the dog meat shop. What happened?"
Zhao Qianyu said: "I asked her to move but she refused. The house will be demolished soon. I will free up space to build a garage and get more money."
Zhao Qianyu did not hide the fact that he used illegal construction to defraud money at all. Perhaps in his opinion, this was something that everyone knew.
As the saying goes, the law does not hold everyone responsible. If everyone does it, I will do it too. Besides, if a person does not work for a little wealth, what else can he be but an idiot?
Du Yu had no intention of getting involved in the slum renovation and illegal construction issues. He was a criminal policeman and had cases to worry about.
"Since you don't plan to continue renting it to Li Yueyue, why don't you return her deposit?"
Zhao Qianyu looked like a scoundrel: "How can the deposit be refunded? She has already handed it over to me, why should I return it to her?"
Du Yu frowned: "Do you have a grudge against Li Yueyue?"
Zhao Qianyu said: "I don't have any grudges against her, I just can't stand her pretending to be a good person...it's all fake, haha!"
Xu Yiqing, who was listening outside, took note of what he heard in his heart. Zhao Qianyu had some complaints about Li Yueyue.
Du Yu said: "Li Yueyue died of murder, so we need to investigate her interpersonal relationships. Many people have confirmed your words that Li Yueyue would not die a good death."
In the interrogation room, Zhao Qianyu said: "It really has nothing to do with me! She is the one who has a grudge against me, not me and her. It's good enough that she doesn't come to kill me. Why would I want to kill her?"
"Yes, I did say I would kill her, but that was based on the fact that she refused to leave my house. Now that I asked her to move out, she has already moved out. It has nothing to do with me. Why should I be so hard on her?"
It is undeniable that Zhao Qianyu's theory is correct.
Du Yu continued to ask: "Why were you in front of the dog meat shop that day?"
Zhao Qianyu hesitated and didn't want to say anything.
Du Yu said, "This is an interrogation room. You'd better tell me what you want to say. Don't make yourself unhappy. If you want to go home as soon as possible, just confess and I will give you leniency!"
Perhaps the word "home" was too tempting for Zhao Qianyu, or perhaps the thing he wanted to hide was nothing compared to human life, Zhao Qianyu explained: "I went to give them a dog."
"Send a dog?"
"It's a dog meat shop. Each dog is very valuable. It costs hundreds of dollars! I'm short of money on weekdays, so I catch two local dogs when I see them on the street and send them to them."
Du Yu remembered the empty doghouse under the willow tree in front of his house and asked sternly, "You still steal your neighbor's dog?!"
Zhao Qianyu waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't do such a thing. I know that it's easy to get into trouble if I get a dog in the village. I always get a dog from outside when I go fishing... I never get a dog from my neighbors. It has nothing to do with me!"
The serious crime team also learned about Zhao Qianyu's personality after visiting him. He really hated dogs, so there was no sign of lying in what he said so far. Du Yu knocked on the table: "Where were you the night before last?"
When Zhao Qianyu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "The night before yesterday, I was playing cards at my second uncle's house... Can anyone testify to this?"
Zhao Qianyu is addicted to gambling. He has always been unhappy because of this. Not only did his wife run away, but he has not remarried for many years.
As a result, today it became the most powerful means to prove his alibi.
The case has reached a deadlock.
Zhao Qianyu was still explaining some minor details in the interrogation room, but the result was already final.
In the serious crime unit office, Du Yu slumped in his chair and sighed, "I asked someone to check. Everyone who was at the card game that night can prove that Zhao Qianyu had an alibi. There are all the transfer records and the confession of the owner of the convenience store next door."
Xu Yiqing was also a little confused and looked at his watch.
There are only a dozen hours left.
There is only one afternoon left before dark.
Now that Zhao Qianyu has been cleared of suspicion, the case has suddenly become a mystery.
There was no way. Since Zhao Qianyu had an alibi, there was no need for the serious crime team to continue detaining him, and the two men had to be sent back to Zhao Qianyu.
Along the way, Zhao Qianyu kept complaining about the mental damage caused by the police summons, saying that he could catch so many fish in the morning, and then accused the police of being inhumane and not even caring about his lunch.
Du Yu had no choice but to buy a box lunch for Zhao Qianyu at his own expense. However, Zhao Qianyu blackmailed him by saying that his daughter was left unattended at home, so Du Yu also brought a box for Zhao Qianyu's daughter as well.
It can be seen that although Zhao Qianyu is a bastard in many senses, he really loves his daughter.
After arriving at the door of the house, Zhao Qianyu's face changed completely when facing his daughter, and his attitude became much kinder.
However, it was obvious that Zhao Xiaomeng was still immersed in the fear of her father being taken away by the police. She dodged and avoided Du Yu, who was wearing a police uniform, and subconsciously grabbed her bangs with her hands.
But her hairstyle actually doesn't have bangs.
Zhao Qianyu comforted his daughter: "Don't be afraid, your father didn't kill anyone. It was Li Yueyue who deserved to die. I don't know who she offended."
Du Yu frowned and shouted, "Zhao Qianyu, respect the dead!"
Zhao Qianyu pursed his lips in disdain and muttered something in a low voice, but it was unclear.
Because the case was urgent and the interrogation took a long time, Du Yu and Xu Yiqing had not eaten yet.
The two decided to have a quick meal nearby before returning to the Criminal Police Brigade.
There are many small restaurants in the shantytown. I ordered two side dishes and two bowls of Jiangcheng’s specialty fish soup, which was the best meal I had in the past few days.
"This Zhao Qianyu makes me feel even more disgusted than Li Dusheng." Du Yu looked angry and took off his big hat and put it aside.
Li Dusheng is pure evil, while Zhao Qianyu is a typical petty man who is selfish and disgusting.
Xu Yiqing was thinking about something and did not respond to Du Yu's words.
Even when the fish soup was served, Xu Yiqing subconsciously got scalded when he drank the soup with a spoon.
Seeing Xu Yiqing being burned, Du Yu asked, "What are you thinking about, Lao Xu?"
Xu Yiqing took out his cell phone with some uncertainty. It contained photos of Zhao Qianyu's home, which were taken during the investigation and evidence collection in the morning.
Du Yu leaned over to take a look and found that Xu Yiqing had been looking at the photo of the Zhao family's bathroom over and over again for a long time.
Especially the dressing table in the bathroom.
Suddenly Xu Yiqing raised his head, looked at an inconspicuous hair salon across the street, and asked the restaurant owner.
"Boss, which barbershop do your neighbors usually go to for haircuts?"
