Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Ward.

Gong Liang's mood was a bit wrong. After the police left, he silently came to sit down next to He Shan and picked up a new apple and a fruit knife.

Just as he was about to peel it, he paused, put the apple and the fruit knife back, and looked at He Shan.

"Shanshan, when you chose to come to Jiangcheng to marry me, was it for me or for refuge?"

Gong Liang now came back to his senses.

He Shan said before that "It's really my turn" and "I came to Jiangcheng but I still didn't hide away". Combined with the series of questions the other party just answered from the police, it is easy to relate.

Also, when the two of them graduated and talked about their future plans, it didn't go so well. He was determined to return to his hometown in Jiangcheng to develop, but He Shan did not choose to leave Yicheng without hesitation at that time, and was very hesitant.

Because the relationship was still there and it had been a long time since both parties had just graduated, we didn't break up immediately.

He returned to Jiangcheng, while He Shan stayed in Yicheng. Since then, their campus love has turned into a long-distance relationship.

Space and time can change a lot of things. Videos and phone calls are not enough to maintain a relationship. Even going to meet occasionally can only make the relationship fade a little slower.

He could clearly feel that He Shan's attitude towards him had changed, and the frequency of active contact became less and less.

He was very sad, but there was nothing he could do. His only son's parents were in Jiangcheng, and he really couldn't make up his mind to go to Yicheng to find He Shan.

Just when he was in a dilemma, He Shan suddenly said that he wanted to come to Jiangcheng. He was very happy, thinking that his efforts and waiting had paid off.

Later, the two parties met their parents, got engaged, and got married. He Shan also passed the exam to become a teacher. Everything was moving in the right direction.

In the future, they will have children and a happy family. Who would have thought that something like this would suddenly happen.

Gong Liang's mind is even more confused now.

If He Shan chose to come to Jiangcheng to marry him for refuge, then the relationship from school uniform to wedding dress would be of much less significance.

Facing her husband's question, He Shan was stunned for a moment and quickly denied: "Of course not, I do it for you, I love you!"

Gong Liang looked at her: "I believe, I believe you love me, otherwise we wouldn't have been together for so long, but you didn't come to Jiangcheng entirely for me. If it hadn't been for this, you would have been very hesitant, and no one would have said anything. Not allowed, right?”

He Shan was silent.

She was very sad. She had just been greatly hurt, and what she needed was companionship and comfort, but her husband was still quarreling and questioning.

"You did it on purpose, right?!" He Shan's voice was filled with tears. "You must have done it on purpose. You don't want me anymore. You want to divorce me, so you hold on to this matter and want to give me something." Find a reason to feel at ease!"

Gong Liang was angry: "Of course not!"

He Shan: "Then neither am I!"

There was still a quarrel.

Is He Shan trying to hide? Maybe there is a reason for this.

Does He Shan love Gong Liang? She must love her. The rape of her friend made her determined to leave the city. Although she didn't know what happened, she was afraid that it would be her turn.

These are not two things that are either/or and can coexist.

As for Gong Liang...

His subconscious was already doubting whether he could continue his relationship with He Shan. So He Shan came to Jiangcheng to escape, and this trivial matter was magnified infinitely.

He Shan just used the word "peace of mind". Only he knew whether Gong Liang really had this idea in his heart, but he didn't lift the fig leaf by himself, and no one would admit it.

How can there be so much vigorous love? Reality can defeat them all.

The two looked at each other. In the end, Gong Liang said nothing and picked up the apple and fruit knife again, peeling them slowly.

Tears fell from the corners of He Shan's eyes. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the ceiling above. She could already feel the darkness of her future life.

I'm afraid Gong Liang will really divorce him.

After peeling the apple, Gong Liang cut off a small piece and put it in He Shan's mouth. The latter turned his head and refused to eat.

Gong Liang sighed: "It was my fault just now, and I apologize to you."

He Shan said nothing.

Gong Liang said: "Back then, I advised you not to go against the counselor, but you..."

He Shan interrupted: "I'm right! Besides... I really think it's not him. Can we stop talking about this! Do you want me to go crazy?!"

Gong Liang: "Okay, okay, let's stop chatting. Eat some apples. The doctor said you should eat more apples during the recovery period."

Looking at the apple slices by her mouth, He Shan curled her lips and wanted to cry, but finally bit into her mouth.

Dull.

No matter how the two develop in the future, at least they can still rely on each other now.

…

One o'clock in the morning, Jiangcheng City Bureau.

The results of the co-investigation from Yicheng came through. The DNA comparison failed and it was not him.

Judging from this person's basic information, his height is not quite right either.

Again, the alibi is strong.

This made Zhao Qiming, who was full of expectations, instantly discouraged and spent more than 20 minutes rubbing his forehead with his cell phone in the office.

He was hesitating whether to call Chen Yi at this point.

The next stop for the research team is Yicheng. After arriving in Yicheng, Chen Yi should ask or even intervene. Since there is a new case in Jiangcheng and it is likely to be a serial case, he should let the other party know and be prepared in advance.

And...since it is a serial case and has not been solved in Yicheng, it cannot be said that Jiangcheng police are not capable enough. The suspect has certain counter-investigation capabilities.

Actually, we can talk about it tomorrow. It's too late now, but he can't hold it in anymore.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Qiming unlocked the phone.

hotel.

Chen Yi, who was already asleep, was woken up by the ringtone. He suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously picked up his phone. When he found that it was Zhao Qiming, he immediately connected it.

He really didn't want to answer the early morning phone call.

It's definitely not a good thing for a criminal police officer to answer a call in the early hours of the morning. The higher the official position, the more serious the situation is, otherwise the people below can handle it on their own.

"Hello? Old Zhao." Chen Yi sat up and turned on the light in the room.

Zhao Qiming: "Captain Chen, I'm sorry to call you so late. I have an important report on the rape and injury case that just happened in Jiangcheng."

Chen Yi rubbed his eyes and said, "Well, you tell me."

Zhao Qiming explained in detail what he had found so far, including the elimination of suspects. At the end of the story, Chen Yi was completely alert.

"Serial rape?" The case was clear in his mind. Chen Yi thought for a moment and said: "Disfigurement is extremely rare in rape cases. It should be revenge. It sounds like there is a lot of hatred. Didn't He Shan think of anything?"

Zhao Qiming: "I only think of one person, the college counselor I just mentioned, but I have already ruled it out. The DNA is wrong, the height is wrong, and the alibi is also very sufficient."

Chen Yi: "Have you checked the bank statements and interpersonal relationships?"

Revenge that requires rape and disfigurement to vent anger cannot be a trivial matter. Logically speaking, He Shan should be able to think of it right away. The counselor did have a motive for committing the crime.

Zhao Qiming: "Hire a murderer? I didn't tell my colleagues in Yicheng. Isn't it a bit mysterious to hire someone to rape?"

Chen Yi: "Appearance is very important to a woman. The suspect is depriving the victim of the most important thing, which shows the great hatred in his heart. He Shan must have caused a lot of harm to the suspect. What about emotionally?"

"Emotionally?" Zhao Qiming was surprised, "This is serial rape, Captain Chen."

Chen Yi: "I know. Didn't you say that the four of us have a good relationship? You don't know the virtues of some besties?"

Zhao Qiming reacted.

If the suspect retaliated against He Shan because of feelings, and He Shan's group of girlfriends had contributed to the situation, it would be consistent with the facts of the case.

The best friends gave her a proper lesson, but He Shan was brutally raped and disfigured.

Sounds possible.

"He Shan hasn't mentioned anything like this yet. I'll ask again tomorrow." Zhao Qiming said.

Chen Yi: "Since the counselor has ruled out the suspicion, if it is not a hired murderer, then this matter should not be that important to He Shan and belongs to daily life. Otherwise, He Shan must have been deeply impressed."

Zhao Qiming: "Yes, some suspects are like this. Even the smallest thing can trigger a crime."

Chen Yi: "It's not necessarily that it caused bad consequences at the time. Maybe after graduation, this little incident caused the suspect to be frustrated. Looking back, I directly blamed He Shan and settled the score later."

Zhao Qiming: "It's easy to check something that four people experienced together."

Chen Yi: "Yes, as long as this case is consolidated, it is not that difficult to investigate. The school is so big, there is nothing that cannot be investigated."

Zhao Qiming: "Captain Chen, do you want me to go to Yicheng with you tomorrow?"

In a serial case involving two cities, the police naturally have to cooperate with each other.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "No, the crackdown is not over yet. You need to stay in Jiangcheng. By the way, does He Shan's husband know that He Shan's friend was raped?"

Zhao Qiming: "I don't think he knew. He Shan called us immediately after telling him."

Chen Yi: "Okay, don't worry about it in Yicheng. You can investigate in Jiangcheng. Although this case is likely to be a serial case, coincidence cannot be completely ruled out. Let the branch focus on investigating Gong Liang and look at his relatives and friends. Are there any problems?”

Zhao Qiming: "Did Captain Chen mean to hurt He Shan to retaliate against Gong Liang?"

Chen Yi: "Yes, a young girl who has just married into Jiangcheng, what kind of enemies can she have in the local area? If it is not a serial case, the possibility of involving Gong Liang is still relatively high. Don't underestimate the lunacy, there are definitely people who can do it."

Zhao Qiming lamented the gap between himself and Chen Yi, and opened up many ideas for handling cases in a short period of time.

"Okay Captain Chen, I will arrange someone to do this tomorrow."

Chen Yi hummed: "Find a few people to stay in the hospital during this period to ensure that Yicheng can talk to He Shan at any time. She suffered the most serious injuries and needs to be investigated intensively."

Zhao Qiming: "Understood."

Chen Yi hung up the phone and sat on the bed for a while, then got up to drink water and smoke a late-night cigarette.

The serial case eliminated all his sleepiness.

Behavior reflects psychology. It is relatively rare to use rape as revenge. What did these four girls do?

There is little contact after graduation, so the motivation is most likely to come from the university.

Both directions.

Either revenge, or the suspect's pathology, similar to that madman Yu Sheng.

If it is the latter, the difference is that the victims know each other, so the direction of the investigation can be limited to a small area.

No matter what the possibility is, the suspect must be familiar with the four people, or at least have met in person.

"The three cases in Yicheng occurred two years ago, and one of them was not reported to the police. The time span is a bit long, and the possibility of revenge is high."

It has been several years since you graduated. Will you wait that long to commit a crime? Or did the four of them get together again after graduation, allowing the suspect to pinpoint his target?

Or, you didn’t dare in college, but gained the courage a few years later?

No, it lacks rationality.

Chen Yi thought about it for a while before turning off the light and going to bed.
