Chapter 8 Chapter Seven: The Banshee Reappears

"I didn't lie, I really didn't. Brother Yu, you have to trust me!" I asked An An again in the interrogation room, and she kept waving her hands and shaking her head in the face of my questioning. "Did you really not get into the left hand last night? If you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you." I looked into her eyes seriously, and she unconsciously avoided mine.Obviously, she lied. She hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I'm sorry, Brother Yu, I lied to you. I must have entered the left hand last night." "You went in, why did you tell us no?" Zhen Zhen suddenly stood up and stared at her, making her shrink into a ball like a kitten in fright.

I pulled Zhen Zhen down, and said to An An in a calm tone, "Because you know Glen, don't you?" She nodded timidly, and slowly explained the situation when she entered the left-hand bar last night—— I didn't dare to go in because I was afraid that Yu Yi would find me.But from time to time, strangers would come over to strike up a conversation outside, and some drunk people would even touch me.As soon as I was scared, I ran in. As soon as I entered, everyone inside looked at me, and I was so scared that I immediately found an inconspicuous place to sit down. I sat down and looked around, but I didn't see him. I thought he might have entered the box.I didn't see him, so I ordered a drink and continued to pay attention to the situation around me. Only then did I notice that the whole hall was full of men except me, and they were doing some intimate behaviors with each other.I suddenly realized that this was a gay bar, and immediately felt very scared and wanted to run out, but there would be strangers accosting me outside, so I dared not leave.Fortunately, they just pointed at me for a while, and then no one paid attention to me.

I sat for about ten minutes and saw Yu Yi coming out of the bathroom with a man.This man is probably the Glen you mentioned, because I heard people in the bar call him here, but I never knew he had such an English name before... He is my brother-in-law! When I saw Yu Yi coming out of the bathroom with her brother-in-law, I was immediately stunned. The brother-in-law came out with his arms around him. The two of them were like conjoined twins, kissing each other from time to time.My brother-in-law is not so affectionate with his sister, how could he be like this with a man... An An shed tears when she said this, and did not continue.I think this girl is not trying to hide something from us, but she thinks this matter has nothing to do with the case, but once her sister finds out, it will definitely break her heart, and the relationship between sister and brother-in-law is not very good. This matter may become the fuse of their divorce.That's why she deliberately concealed this matter, and even gave a false statement to make her situation even more unfavorable.

Now the case has become more complicated. Xiao Jianfeng was originally bisexual and had a close relationship with the deceased. The deceased had threatened his mother-in-law, and he himself had a bad relationship with his wife.There are many articles in this. In order to clarify the complicated relationship between the characters in this case, I had to question Ji Xuerong and Xiao Jianfeng, and the former stayed in the bureau because of An An's matter and never left, so I asked her to ask her first. She wasn't a suspect, and I didn't want to make her nervous, so instead of taking her to the interrogation room, I asked her to come to the Crime Squad office.As soon as she sat down she went on and on about her daughter not killing people, we wronged good people and all that stuff.

"Aunt Ji, personally, I don't believe that An An will kill people. But now all the evidence is against her, so I hope you can tell me what you know, otherwise I can't help An An get rid of the suspicion .” I managed to catch up with her to say a word. "If you want to know anything, just ask, as long as it can help An'an." She grabbed my hand like a life-saving grass, and I think now even if I ask her how her sex life with her husband is, she will Tell me every detail. She hesitated, however, when I asked my first question: "Did you know the deceased?"

She was silent for a while before answering: "Yes, he works in a newspaper office, I have met him before." "Did you see him last night?" The second question seemed to touch her nerves, her body trembled, she glanced at me, but then avoided my gaze, and did not speak for a long time.She didn't say it, so I had to force her to say it, and said with a little apology: "Actually, I saw you at Shangya Cafe last night, and you seemed to have a dispute at that time..." I didn't say the whole thing, and wanted her to tell the story by myself. Tell me about the situation, after all, what I saw at the time was only the surface.

She looked up and looked around, then said to me a little nervously, "I could tell you everything, but I just want to tell you one thing." Then her eyes fell on the other people in the office . "You can rest assured that this case has something to do with the haunting of the Daily News Building. Except for us, only a few high-ranking officials have the right to know everything you say here. If it leaks out, Our troubles will not be less than yours." I deliberately put on an appearance that people can trust the honest police. She hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind to tell the story between her and the deceased——

Xiao Ning only joined the newspaper office three or four months ago. The first time I saw him, I thought he was a bit strange. He was obviously a boy, but he acted like a girl in every gesture.However, he is just one of Lao Lin's subordinates, as long as he can get along with the children, I don't need to take care of other things.And I have nothing to do with him except that I occasionally meet him when I go to the newspaper office to look for Lao Lin and his children. However, a few days ago he suddenly called me and said that he wanted to talk to me about Yiyi, and invited me to the cafe last night.I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so I passed by.When he came to the cafe, he said to me: "Jianfeng has no relationship with your daughter anymore, you'd better tell your daughter to get a divorce quickly, and stop pestering Jianfeng and refusing to let go."

I was stunned on the spot, Yiyi never told me that she had any problems with Jianfeng.Although they do often quarrel, the things between the husband and wife are fights at the head of the bed and reconciliation at the end of the bed. There will definitely be small frictions, but there is no need to quarrel to the point of divorce!And even if they want a divorce, what does it matter to him as an outsider?So, I called him crazy and planned to leave. But he suddenly laughed and said to me: "Don't rush to leave, you can ask your daughter directly if they are going to divorce, you should sit down, I still have something to tell you."

"I don't have time to listen to your crazy nonsense!" Although I said so, I still sat down. He threw a photo in front of me, I glanced at it, and immediately my head exploded as if struck by lightning.There are two naked men in the photo, one is him and the other is my son-in-law Jianfeng, they are actually doing that thing. I really can't believe that Jianfeng would do such an obscene thing, but the photos in front of me make me believe it again.He used this to threaten me, saying that if Yiyi refused to divorce, he would simply take two pictures and distribute the photos to everyone who knew Lao Lin or Yiyi, so that our family would never be able to hold our heads up.

I have been worrying about this matter for the past few days. I dare not tell Lao Lin or ask Yiyi, so I have to tell An An.Of course, I didn't tell An An about this directly, but asked her if the photos could be faked.She told me that there is a thing called "PS", which can modify photos, and many female stars have been used to make some disgusting photos. Yesterday, Xiao Ning called me again and asked me why I didn't ask Yiyi to divorce, and whether I wanted him to make the photos public.I said his photo was fake, it was made by PS.He said that the photos were taken on film and cannot be photoshopped, and he still has a lot more, if I don't believe it, he can show it to me.So I made an appointment with him to meet again at the cafe... After listening to Ji Xuerong's narration, a question appeared in my mind—why did Ning Yuyi ask her to ask Yiyi for proof of their divorce?Based on his relationship with Xiao Jianfeng, he could call the other party directly and ask the other party to tell his mother-in-law himself.He didn't do this for one reason, that is, he didn't want Xiao Jianfeng to know about it. The relationship between homosexuals is very unstable, separation and reunion is very common, and it is rare to maintain a long-term relationship.As a bisexual, Xiao Jianfeng may just want to find happiness in Ning Yuyi. If he wants to stay together forever, he will definitely choose a partner of the opposite sex that is acceptable to the world, otherwise he would not marry Yiyi. If we take this as a basis and speculate further, we can get such a hypothesis——Xiao Jianfeng didn't want others to know about his homosexuality, so he married Yiyi just to cover up his unknown side.Therefore, although he and Yiyi often have disputes, they will not divorce casually.And Ning Yuyi is a very possessive person, he doesn't want to give half of his lover to Yiyi, so he tried his best to force Yiyi to divorce his lover. Based on this hypothesis, another hypothesis can be obtained - Ning Yuyi wants to monopolize his lover, even at the expense of disclosing his homosexuality with his lover.But Xiao Jianfeng is unwilling to let others know that he has homosexuality, and the best way to keep this secret is of course to kill Ning and destroy the photos and negatives. If the above assumptions are true, then one conclusion can be drawn - Xiao Jianfeng is the murderer! However, this conclusion is based on multiple assumptions, and of course I cannot rely on my own assumptions to arrest people.Moreover, there are still many doubts in this case. Simply explaining how the murderer escaped from the scene is a headache.The darkroom was locked when the security guards arrived, and the only thing that allowed the murderer to escape from the scene was the air-conditioning duct, but the narrow duct could not allow people to pass through.Unless the murderer is a monster who can pass through walls... The only one capable of committing a crime is the cement banshee, but she doesn't seem to have a motive for committing the crime.Although Xiao Jianfeng had the motive to commit the crime, he did not have the ability to commit the crime.If I had to choose between them, I would of course choose the latter, after all, the latter is a living person who can be seen and touched, while the former is a monster whose existence is still uncertain. However, when I carefully recalled every detail related to Xiao Jianfeng, I found many suspicious things.First of all, he claimed to see a woman's face on the wall, and that was just his sight, and no one can prove whether he really saw it; Third, when An An was detained for questioning, the anxiety he showed may not be because he was worried about An An, but because he was afraid that he would die. was arrested. Regardless of whether my thoughts are normal or not, it is definitely right to arrest him and interrogate him, so I immediately summoned him for interrogation.Originally, I just told him to come alone, but Yiyi also came with him, which shows that the relationship between their husband and wife is not too bad, at least Yiyi still cares about her husband. "I want to know the relationship between you and the deceased Ning Yuyi." In the interrogation room, I asked Xiao Jianfeng straight to the point.He was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that he should have thought that I would ask this question. He was silent for a while, and then gave me a perfunctory answer: "We are colleagues." "Mr. Xiao, it's not good for you to go around in circles with us. You should know that we won't come to chat with you for nothing." I said seriously. He was silent for a while, and his voice trembled slightly when he spoke again: "You all know?" I raised my left hand and shook it: "We only know part of it, so we want to ask you, but we know what you don't want to be known." Cross-examination is a very profound knowledge, and the other party is eager to know what we know. How much information has been collected, if I don’t know anything or know everything, then he may not say anything.If I directly say what I have mastered, then he can avoid the important and perfunctory.So I vaguely said that I only knew a certain part, but emphasized that this part was the most important secret to him.And I put up my left hand to imply that I already knew he was gay. Sure enough, my cross-examination technique worked, and his expression suddenly became very depressed. After wiping his face heavily with both hands, he forced himself to say calmly, "Ask what you want to know!" "Let's ask according to the procedure. What's your relationship with Ning Yuyi?" I smiled slightly, staring into his eyes and added: "I hope you can answer honestly. I'm not asking you because I don't know." He nodded and replied, "I am a lover with him." "Mr. Xiao, I hope you can explain in more detail." I still stared into his eyes, and he avoided my eyes unconsciously. After a long time, he spoke again, telling about the unacceptable relationship between him and the deceased: "Actually, we already knew each other before he went to work in the newspaper office. This circle is not big, and most of the left-handed people in the same city know each other. Yes. When I was with him, I had a good time, but he was too possessive. Not only did he not allow me to associate with other lefties, he even wanted to force me to divorce. The reason why he joined the newspaper office was because of To force me to divorce." "Although I got married purely to hide that I was left-handed, and I didn't get along very well with Yiyi, but when it comes to divorce, I absolutely can't do it, because I really don't want to hurt my parents. I came from the countryside , I can be regarded as a phoenix man. If I get divorced now, not only will I not be able to get a city hukou, but Yiyi may also let his father block me in the newspaper industry. The only wish of my parents in this life is to see me rise to the top. If I can't get along here, they will be very sad. If I let them know that I am left-handed, then I will be even more ashamed to see them..." As he said, tears fell down his face. (Phoenix man: A man who gathers the strength of the whole family to help him finish college, and eventually becomes a "golden phoenix flying out of the mountain nest", thus bringing hope to a family for transformation.) "So when Ning Yuyi threatens you to divorce by disclosing your relationship, you should ruthlessly kill him!" I stared into his eyes and said sternly. "No, I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him! Don't blame me!" He suddenly became very panicked. "Where were you from 1:00 to 3:00 last night?" I asked emphatically. "I, I was sleeping at home." He was very flustered, and people are most likely to say the wrong thing in this situation. "Who can prove it?" I continued to ask. "Yiyi, my wife can prove it." "Really? But Yiyi said that you have been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few nights!" I yelled at him confidently, but in fact Yiyi didn't tell me about this, I just guessed, purely to scare him. "I slept in the living room last night, but Yiyi knew I was at home." It really made me guess right. "You left your left hand in the early hours of last night, didn't Yiyi let you sleep in the living room until you got home?" I yelled at him again. "It's actually like this. I drank some wine last night. Although Yiyi was already asleep when I got home, I woke her up when I entered the room, and she drove me to the living room to sleep." He was in a hurry this time, His mouth was like a machine gun, frothing all over the place. "That can only mean that you went home last night, but no one can prove that you didn't go out after returning home! Even if you came home at that time, Yiyi may not be able to explain clearly!" Regarding my question, he seemed to have no idea what to do. How to refute, just stare at me dumbfounded. The motive for committing the crime has been established, and the time for committing the crime can only be checked with Yiyi. The only problem now is how he left the locked darkroom. As long as this problem is solved, I can bring this case to an end. However, just when I thought I would be able to solve this murder case soon, Ah Yang called me: "It's really evil, someone died in the Daily Building just now, and it seems that the murderer is the same person."
