Chapter 74 Chapter 73

On January 4, the first day of work after New Year's Day, Xu Zeng received a call from Lin Jie. Director Wang asked him to go to the Public Security Bureau for a chat. After hanging up the phone, Xu Zeng felt uneasy, and a very bad mood came to his mind. After so long, he suddenly asked him to go to the Public Security Bureau again. Could it be that Chen Jin has been locked?Chen Jin has even been captured?Put yourself in? But he thought about it for a while. It is impossible to have caught Chen Jin now, otherwise such a big news would have already spread inside the public security bureau.

The last time Wang Gedong asked him to understand Gan Jianing's interpersonal situation, he had already said what he needed to say, and there was only one possibility to find him again, Chen Jin was already suspected by them. How to deal with it? He remembered Chen Jin's words, the book Chen Jin had shown him, and the box of cigars. After careful consideration, it is impossible for Chen Jin to deceive himself. At this point, no matter whether Chen Jin will be caught or not, he can only grit his teeth and deny everything. Otherwise, for such a big case, Chen Jin's arrest is destined to be the death penalty. It must be all in.

You must have a good tone and straighten out everything, and you must not let the police come up with a half-contradictory statement. After thinking about it, Xu Zeng wiped his palms on his trouser legs, got in the car and went to the county bureau. After arriving at the police station, Xu Zeng was taken to a small conference room where only Wang Gedong was sitting. He asked Lin Jie to go out first, closed the door, sat down and greeted Xu Zeng politely, and said, "Xu Ke, today I don't have any other important things to ask you for, I just want to know about the situation of your little friend Chen Jin."

"Him? What happened to him?" Xu Zeng seemed anxious. Wang Gedong coughed, and took out the high-speed photo from the file bag on the table: "Look, is this Chen Jin?" Xu Zeng picked it up, and at a glance he saw that this guy was of course Chen Jin. He was shocked. Chen Jin was not suspected by the police, but had already been locked up by the police! He suppressed the panic in his heart, because he knew that a pair of sharp eyes of an old criminal policeman was staring at him just a few feet away. Dare to relax for a moment, and must not reveal the slightest unnatural subconscious movement.Thinking quickly in his mind, resisting the trembling, he returned the photo to Wang Gedong with steady hands, and said, "It looks like him. I haven't seen him for ten years, so I can't be sure."

"Haven't you seen his photos in recent years?" Wang Gedong continued to stare into his eyes. Xu Zeng replied truthfully: "I saw one or two photos a few years ago, but he rarely takes pictures." "He was very thin when he was a student, is Chen Jin that fat now?" "Maybe, he's getting a little fat." Xu Zeng controlled himself, not daring to let his brain pause for a moment, trying to keep his eyes calmly facing the aggressive eyes in front of him, and asked again, "Wang?" Bureau, where did you get this photo, why did you ask him?"

Wang Gedong knew very well that if Xu Zeng was really another murderer, it would be useless for them to hide the fact that they had already locked Chen Jin in. They might as well tell him to get him out, and said, "The man in the car is the man we police are looking for so hard. The murderer, as to whether he is Chen Jin or not, it is still impossible to draw a 100% conclusion." Xu Zeng pretended to be surprised: "He? Chen Jin? Impossible, he has stayed in the United States for ten years." Wang Gedong sneered: "We have already checked the entry and exit information with the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and we will have the results soon."

Xu Zeng's heart fluctuated, as long as it was found that Chen Jin returned to China not long after Gan Jianing's death, then the evidence would be conclusive. Wang Gedong looked at Xu Zeng's pale face and said, "What's wrong with you, you don't seem to be in a good mood?" "I...I didn't expect...it's impossible, how could he do such a thing?" Xu Zeng had no choice but to explain his expression in this way. Wang Gedong said: "We don't care why he did it, we just care who did it. Xu Ke, when was the last time you contacted Chen Jin?"

Xu Zeng is very clear about the police's investigative methods. If he answered that a few years ago, the police would just check his online chat records and mobile phone call records, and immediately drag him in. He had to think about it with an expression of reminiscence, and said: " About... about three months ago." "Three months ago? Wasn't that when the He family had an accident?" Xu Zeng said awkwardly: "Well... yes." "How did you get in touch at the time, online? Or by phone?" "Call up." "Is it because of the He family? What did you say on the phone?"

"At that time... It seemed that He Jiansheng called me when the accident happened, and asked me about the He family." "Why did he ask you about the He family?" "He said that he saw other students on the Internet saying that something happened to Gan Jianing's family. I'm from Jin County, so he called to ask about the situation." "Why does he care so much about the He family's affairs? What does he have to do with Gan Jianing?" Xu Zeng shook his head: "I've never heard him say that he has anything to do with Gan Jianing. I think he called out of concern among his classmates."

"So what did you say then?" "I said that He Jiansheng was dead. It was rumored that he was beaten to death by someone from the police station. But I don't know the exact situation. I will tell him when things are cleared up in a few days." "Then what did he say?" "I didn't seem to say anything, I just said that I would tell him as soon as I got the result." "Do you find it strange that he cares so much about the He family?" Xu Zeng shook his head: "It's not surprising. After all, it was an old classmate's family that had such a big incident, and it was out of concern. If it happened to my classmate, I would also be very concerned."

"Did you not contact me after that?" Xu Zeng thought for a while, and said, "I remembered. Not long after, I called Gan Jianing and told him the day Gan Jianing died." "Why did you call him?" "Because he asked me to tell him the latest situation in the previous call." "How did he react?" "No special reaction, just seems a little angry. After all, it's a phone call. It's been so long, and it's hard for me to describe it clearly." "After that, you never contacted me again?" "um, yes." "Including online chat?" Xu Zeng thought for a while, and said: "I don't chat online very much, and it seems that I rarely see him online, so I probably haven't contacted him again." "When you called him, did you find anything unusual about his tone and words?" "No, if there is, I should have an impression." "Chen Jin hasn't returned to China for ten years, right?" "Well, he graduated from university and went to study in the United States. During his studies, his family immigrated to Australia. He has a younger brother who lives with his parents in Australia now." "What do his parents do?" "His father was a university teacher and his mother was an engineer." "Have you had much contact with him in the past ten years?" "Rarely, our time difference is just the opposite, so we seldom contact." "How well do you know him as a person?" "Which aspect does the king's bureau refer to?" "Such as character and habits." "He is a very introverted person. When he was in school, he talked a lot with me and rarely with other people. But since he was in college, he seldom even talked to me, and he hardly communicated with outsiders. .” Wang Gedong nodded and said, "That is to say, he is a very strange person?" "Well, it can be said that in the past, but it has been ten years now, and I don't know his current situation very well. He is now the head of chemical research and development of a company in the United States, and he needs to communicate with many people. I think his current personality should be Not too introverted." "Apart from you, does he have any familiar people in the country?" Xu Zeng thought about it for a while, then shook his head: "I don't think so, I've never heard him mention that he has other friends." "Okay, so what about his life, where does he like to go?" "I don't know about that." Wang Gedong's fox-like eyes finally moved away from Xu Zeng's face. He smiled and said, "Xu Ke, that's all I need to know today. Thank you for your cooperation. You also know the progress of our investigation." , you should be clear that the murderer in this case will never escape punishment!" When he said the word "sanction", he emphasized the tone meaningfully, glanced at Xu Zeng, and continued, "So today You have to keep all the information confidential for us, we all belong to the political and legal system, so I don’t need to say more.” "Well, for sure. But I still have a hard time accepting it in my heart. I really hope someone else who looks like him did it." After leaving the county bureau, Xu Zeng slowly recovered from the nervous panic just now. Today's meeting was not a conversation to understand the situation at all, it was an interrogation, especially Wang Gedong's eyes, his tone, were so vivid that Xu Zeng still shuddered when he recalled them.He took out the key to drive, and found that his hands were shaking violently. Just now, he tried his best to control his expression and various small movements, but now his nerves are loosened, and he can no longer control it. He didn't dare to stay at the county bureau, so he hurriedly drove back to the procuratorate. After entering the door, he immediately ran into the toilet and couldn't help vomiting.
