Chapter 57 Why are you shaking?
Wu Song nodded slightly. "I don't know whether to say he's incredibly bold or that he thinks his acting is too good!"
"hehe……"
With a cold laugh, Wu Song walked up to the man. "Hello, we have some questions to ask you. Please come with me."
Wu Song's actions stunned Xu Bin and the others.
Then, as if by reflex, she subconsciously looked at the man in front of Wu Song.
Why did Wu Song specifically target him? Could he be the murderer?
The idea popped into everyone's heads.
As soon as the idea came to mind, everyone suddenly realized...
Hey, you know what?
He was around forty or fifty years old, not tall, thin, and had a connection to the deceased.
This man really does seem to be the murderer that everyone is speculating about.
"Huh? Me?" The man raised his head and asked, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Yes, you! We have some questions for you!" Wu Song continued.
"Then ask away!"
"Question them separately!" Xu Bin replied, echoing Wu Song's words.
After instructing his apprentice Ma Xiaowu to comfort the victims' families, he approached Wu Song and said, "Please?"
Since there is currently no evidence, it is not appropriate to bring the other party to the interrogation room.
The two men took him to the interrogation room.
Liu Shutong served as the recorder.
"What's your name?"
"Chen Erming".
"What is your relationship with the deceased?" Wu Song asked.
"He is my uncle, my biological uncle."
"You and your uncle must have a really good relationship!" Wu Song handed over a tissue. "Wipe your tears, you were crying really hard."
"My relationship with him is not just that of uncle and nephew." Chen Erming shook his head. "My father died early, and my mother ran away. My grandparents had already died by then. I have been living with my uncle's family since I was nine years old."
"Then why did you do this?" Wu Song stared intently into Chen Erming's eyes, and before the other could speak, he said in a deep voice, "Do you know why we specifically called you here?"
"what?"
A flicker of fear crossed Chen Erming's eyes, before he retorted, "Is it wrong for my uncle and aunt to cry?"
This hint of fear was caught by Xu Bin, a veteran criminal investigator. After glancing at Wu Song, he focused his attention on Chen Erming.
"Where were you this morning at 7:40? What were you doing?"
"I'm home!"
"Who can prove it?"
"No one can prove it. My wife died of illness two years ago, and my son is working in another city. How can I prove it? There's no way to prove it."
"You've been home all morning? You haven't gone out? We'll have to go and visit your neighbors and villagers to see if we've seen you this morning."
"Um..." Chen Erming said, "Around nine o'clock, I went out for a ride on my bicycle."
"Where have you been wandering around?" Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief.
If they haven't locked you down, it's okay if you make up some lies.
After all, so many people are suspects, and it's not appropriate to investigate each one in detail.
There aren't enough police officers.
But once you've locked onto someone, the more you say, the worse it gets.
Just follow your instructions and keep investigating. When things don't match up with other people's testimonies and you can't explain yourself, see what you do.
"Just wandering around the streets."
"Have you arrived in the city yet?"
"arrive."
"Which neighborhoods have we reached?" Wu Song crossed his arms. "Let me tell you in advance, there are surveillance cameras at the bank entrance. We'll check all the neighborhoods you mentioned."
"..." Chen Erming paused briefly for a second, "I was just wandering around aimlessly, I didn't take any notes, I was just doing it as a form of exercise."
"Where were you yesterday? Who were you with at this time?"
"Still just riding around."
"You seem to have quite the leisure and refined tastes!" Wu Song chuckled. "So, where's that gun?"
"What gun?"
"You don't have a gun?"
"No!" Chen Erming shook his head.
"I'm sure."
"I'm absolutely sure!"
A dozen seconds later, there was a knock on the door, and Cao Dahua poked his head in. "Captain, Wang Aimi, that Xiaomi has been arrested!"
At this moment, Wu Song was watching Chen Erming's expression closely.
Upon hearing the news that Xiao Mi had been arrested, Chen Erming's legs began to tremble.
Why are you shaking?
"I'm not shaking!" Chen Erming glanced down at his knees, blinked rapidly a few times, and forced a smile. "I've never dealt with the police before, so I'm a little nervous meeting you guys."
"I'll ask you one more time, where's your gun?" Wu Song stood up, propped himself up with his hands, and looked down at Chen Erming.
"..." Chen Erming's expression was on the verge of collapse. "I bought a gun from Xiaomi for a thousand yuan, but then I sold it for two thousand yuan, making a profit of a thousand yuan."
When was it sold?
"A week ago."
"You made 1000 yuan after selling it. What happened to that 1000 yuan? Did you save it, or just leave it at home?"
"It's allowed me to have a good time these past few days."
"You spent 1,000 yuan in seven days. Come on, tell me where you spent it. Let's check with each of them to see if you spent 1,000 yuan there in the past few days."
"I... I can't remember either."
"You can't possibly forget who it was sold to, can you?"
"It was at the train station. I saw a thief stealing something, so I sold it to him."
"Hmm! Heh." Wu Song and Xu Bin exchanged a glance and laughed.
They've all started making things up.
That means the gun is still in this guy's hands.
Since Chen Erming has already admitted to buying and selling guns, there's no need to waste words with him. We can apply for a search warrant and thoroughly investigate his home.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere else to stay!"
This time, Chen Erming was moved to the interrogation room.
Then arrange for others to continue the interrogation, asking the same questions about his statements repeatedly. If he doesn't match up even once, they can break down his psychological defenses.
Wu Song and Xu Bin returned to the Third Squadron office.
"Not bad, Lao Cao!" Xu Bin couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing Cao Dahua. "You played really well together!"
"Seeing that you've gotten to that point, I thought I'd try to trick that kid. Judging from the situation, he's probably the one who did it!" Cao Dahua grinned. "That guy was too reckless. He killed someone and dared to come to our branch office. Does he have nuclear weapons at the branch office? He was practically asking for death."
"Xiao Song did a great job today!" Xu Bin clicked his tongue in admiration. "If we hadn't caught him tonight, and he had killed two more people in our district tomorrow, I don't know how I would have reported it to the higher-ups. Now it's all good. We can apply for a search warrant, search his house, and as long as we find that gun, the case will be closed."
"It's not just this case!" Ma Dazhi breathed a sigh of relief. "We've also completely cleaned up the loose ends left by the robbery two years ago."
"Yes!" Xu Bin nodded with a smile.
……
The following morning.
There were no new murders.
Around 10 o'clock, the search warrant was issued.
The people from the Third Squadron and the technical reconnaissance team arrived at Chen Erming's home together.
As you enter the courtyard, you can see a pair of shoes drying on the windowsill.
Wearing gloves, Ma Xiaowu examined the soles of the shoes and found that they matched the pattern of the bloody footprints found at the scene.
"Let me try!" The technical investigators took him indoors, drew the curtains, and performed a luminol test. After a short while, the soles of his shoes began to glow with a blue-green light.
"Alright, these shoes have been stained with blood! It must be him."
