Chapter 1106: Can a portrait made out of thin air be counted?
When I returned to the Municipal Bureau, it was already past five o'clock and people were getting ready to go off work one after another.
But the office area of the First Brigade was still brightly lit.
"Little Li!"
Seeing Li Xiangnan coming back with Song Yi and the others, Wang Defa and Hu Yinglong, who had been waiting here for a while, hurried to greet them.
"How is it? Have you recorded the confessions?" Li Xiangnan pressed the fat man's shoulder, his expression no longer so tense.
"Well, it's all done! The atmosphere in Xicheng is completely different from here! It's done very quickly!" Seeing him relax, Wang Defa also grinned.
"Coming here is like going home!" Hu Yinglong next to him also started joking.
"I'm glad you're okay!" Li Xiangnan nodded and turned around to look around.
Fatty knew who he was looking for, so he whispered, "Old Duan's family and brother-in-law are still inside. Two groups of people have gone in to record their statements!"
This is to prevent the reporter from reporting a false case, and sometimes extraordinary measures are taken.
Guo Qian knew Duan Sijiu before and had a good impression of him. This move was also intended to minimize the possibility of wrongly accusing good people.
Li Xiangnan nodded and found a little girl hiding behind Wang Defa and grabbing his trouser leg. Knowing that this was Duan Xiaoqin, the daughter of Duan Sijiu, he squatted down and greeted her.
"Hello, Xiaoqin, I'm your dad's college classmate! My last name is Li, you can call me Uncle Li!"
Duan Xiaoqin was very shy and scared. Her eyes were full of worry and fear about the current situation. When Li Xiangnan reached out to rub her head, she subconsciously dodged.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoqin. Uncle Li has the best relationship with your dad! Even better than your Uncle Wang!" Wang Defa also squatted down to comfort the little girl.
"Xiaoqin, are you hungry? How about letting Aunt Song take you outside to buy something to eat?" Li Xiangnan scratched the little girl's nose and let Song Yi, who was standing behind him, step out.
"Xiaoqin! Come quickly! Auntie has a good relationship with your father!" Song Yi stroked her skirt and squatted down. She pointed at the police officers around her and said with a kind smile, "Look, Auntie and uncles are not bad people, otherwise the police here would arrest us! Don't worry! Let's go out for a walk!"
Duan Xiaoqin glanced at Defa hesitantly, blinked and glanced at Song Yi, feeling both curious and close to this beautiful sister who looked like a fairy.
"It's okay! Be obedient!" Wang Defa smiled and gave an encouraging look.
"Can we go for a walk together?" Song Yi pointed at her skirt and smiled. "If you like skirts, auntie will buy you one, okay?"
After she said this, she tried to hold Duan Xiaoqin's hand again, and she was no longer so resistant and followed her obediently.
"I'll take her out to relax, you guys take care of your own things!" Song Yi held Duan Xiaoqin's hand tightly and turned to leave the office area.
"Little Li!"
At this time, Guo Qian opened the door and shouted.
"Defa, Yinglong, please stay for a while!" Li Xiangnan gave the two of them a few instructions, then took the rice paper from Zhang Jingyang's drawing board and quickly walked into the interrogation area.
"Advisor Li! According to your request, we did not let Fang Ping identify Duan Sijiu after recording the confession!" Wei Jingfei said straight to the point as soon as Li Xiangnan entered the room.
"Ok!"
Nodding, Li Xiangnan stood in front of the glass wall of the interrogation room and took a look at the pregnant woman at the center of this incident - Fang Ping.
She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and at first glance her dress was ordinary, but she had a good appearance.
Her belly was slightly bulging under the white dress, and it looked like she was already four months pregnant.
Li Xiangnan squinted his eyes to remember some details, and his heart suddenly turned cold.
"What did you find out?" Guo Qian was curious when he saw that he was holding a lot of rice paper paintings.
"Table!" Li Xiangnan shouted.
Wei Jingfei hastily tidied up a table filled with confessions.
Li Xiangnan spread out the portraits on the table one by one.
"What is this? A human portrait?" Guo Qian, Wei Jingfei and others were all stunned. The other public security comrades in the room also gathered around, and everyone was very curious.
Pointing to the first portrait, Li Xiangnan explained: "This is the portrait of the person who called the Xicheng Police Station from the Erligou phone number for the second call!"
Everyone looked at each other.
Guo Qian's scalp was tingling, and he said, "Xiao Li, this is amazing! How did you draw this for someone? Have you seen him?"
"No!" Li Xiangnan shook his head and said calmly: "Comrade Zhang Jingyang drew it out of thin air based on the witness's account!"
"Drawn out of thin air? Does this count?"
"How did you draw this? This is too unbelievable!"
"Can this portrait be linked to reality? Could it really depict the characteristics of the person who called?"
Everyone exclaimed, no one could believe it.
Even Guo Qian was so surprised that he closed his mouth. "No, Xiao Li, can this be useful in solving a case? Just relying on a drawn portrait to solve a case? This is unheard of!"
"We'll soon know whether it's useful or not!" Li Xiangnan picked up a pack of cigarettes on the table and took one out to smoke.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment, and felt that Li Xiangnan was even more amazing, yet also felt that he was too mysterious.
"Then these are..." Guo Qian leaned over to look at other portraits, twitched his lips and said, "Hey? Isn't this Duan Sijiu! Oh, no, these ones look like him, but not quite. What are you going to do?"
"You'll know in a moment!" Li Xiangnan didn't want to talk about the results first. He just looked at Fang Ping who was still being questioned across the glass and asked, "How long will it take for Fang Ping to give her confession?"
Only now did Guo Qian have time to reveal a little information about the case to him.
"It's coming out soon! We are now refining the details of what happened! Fang Ping accused Duan Sijiu of rape, saying it happened at 9pm on June 3rd, when she was returning home from get off work at the knitting factory."
"But there is a key point. If Duan Sijiu...if Duan Sijiu really raped her, then why didn't she report it at the time? Why did she report it after such a long time? She had to report it after she found out she was pregnant, and it's been more than four months! Why did she have to choose this time to stand up and accuse Duan Sijiu!"
Li Xiangnan turned around and asked, "What did she say?"
"She said it was because she was afraid! She also said that she was not a child anymore and had traditional ideas. She didn't want anyone to know that she had been violated. If Duan Sijiu could take responsibility, she wouldn't mind marrying him!"
Hearing this, Li Xiangnan was also a little stunned, "This female comrade is a little bit out of her mind!"
"That's right!" Guo Qian also frowned and said, "And as time goes by, Fang Ping has more and more loopholes! She even said that during this period, Duan Sijiu gave him living expenses several times..."
Li Xiangnan twitched his lips and asked, "The reason why she came forward now is not because Lao Duan stopped giving her living expenses, so she came to sue her, right?"
"Hey, Xiao Li, she really said that!" Wei Jingfei laughed.
Turning around and looking around, Li Xiangnan found that everyone, including Guo Qian, had an expression that showed pity for Duan Sijiu.
"According to the current laws, if Fang Ping insists that Duan Sijiu is the father of her child, even if it cannot be concluded that Duan Sijiu committed rapist in the end, Old Duan will be in trouble! Because he is involved in hooliganism and bigamy, these two charges are enough to make him suffer!" Guo Qian also expressed his opinion.
Li Xiangnan nodded, squinted his eyes and looked at Fang Ping in the inner room, twirling Guo Qian's pen with his fingers.
"Captain Guo! The transcript is out!"
The public security comrade in the glass room went out and came in from outside.
"Xiao Li!" Guo Qian scanned it and handed it directly to Li Xiangnan.
After spending ten minutes reading Fang Ping's transcript, Li Xiangnan sneered, "It's full of loopholes!"
"But how do we refute her story?" Guo Qian frowned, "The case is at a standstill now!"
Li Xiangnan pointed at the portrait on the table and said with a smile, "Let's eat first and leave her alone for a while! Then watch my performance!"
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but look forward to it.
