sinovels Chapter 43 Chimney
Chapter 43 Chimney
Since Gu Huai asked him the question, Luo Zhenbang has refused to give a direct answer to any of his questions.
Even if you forcefully interrogate them, they'll just repeat the same few sentences over and over again.
I don't know, I didn't do it, you're accusing me.
Time passed by, second by second.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Wu Feilin stopped asking questions.
The two walked out of the interrogation room together, and Gu Huai glanced at the clock hanging outside the interrogation room.
The clock hand has already pointed to 12 o'clock.
There are less than 12 hours left until the release time.
Wu Feilin lit a cigarette as soon as he stepped out of the interrogation room.
Lingyue, who was waiting outside the door, walked over. "How did it go?"
"He's very stubborn." Gu Huai shook his head. "After he couldn't explain the formaldehyde issue, he started making up excuses."
"When will the legal department release the test results? Can they be used as evidence?" Wu Feilin asked.
"No." Ling Yue shook her head. "The test report can only prove that he had formaldehyde stored in his house, it cannot directly prove that he is related to the murder case."
Wu Feilin frowned and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
"Furthermore..." Ling Yue added, "Our comrades in Guangzhou said that if the investigation encounters difficulties, we can transfer the case to them..."
"How could that be!" Upon hearing this, Wu Feilin immediately flew into a rage. "We've been investigating this case for so long, how could we possibly give it to them!"
They've been investigating for over three years, and what have they found? Now they're trying to reap the benefits!
As he spoke, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stomped on it hard.
"Ah Huai, why did you ask those questions? You asked them perfectly well at the beginning, why did you provoke him like that later!"
Gu Huai didn't explain, but instead asked, "Captain Wu, do you think Luo Zhenbang would confess without direct evidence?"
"No," Wu Feilin shook his head. "Whether he is the Rain Night Butcher or not, he will never confess."
"Since he won't confess, I'll have to use some special methods."
"What did you find out?" Wu Feilin asked, frowning.
Gu Huai replied, "When I was questioning Luo Zhenbang, I deliberately mentioned my guess. When I talked about other things, his expression was relaxed, but when I talked about transportation, especially speedboats, his eyes were tense."
Therefore, I conclude that he must have hidden his "collection" on a speedboat.
Wu Feilin was sitting quite far away, so he couldn't see Luo Zhenbang's micro-expressions very clearly.
After thinking about Gu Huai's words for a while, he also felt that there was some truth to them.
If those things really exist, carrying them with you at all times is the best way to hide them.
"Even so, Shenzhen has such a long coastline, where are we supposed to find these things? We can't just look for a needle in a haystack, can we?"
"It's not like finding a needle in a haystack," Gu Huai shook his head. "Someone knows."
"Who?"
"Sister Ling," Gu Huai turned to Ling Yue, "Where is Luo Xiaojun now?"
"I arranged a place for him to stay, and the women's director is with him."
"Let's go find him."
"Now? It's almost 12:30."
"There's no time." Gu Huai turned and walked away. "We need to find a breakthrough as soon as possible!"
-----------------
Dormitory of Pengcheng Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The women's director peeked out of the room and asked, "Officer, when can I go back?"
"Tomorrow," Ling Yue immediately explained, "I can go back by noon at the latest tomorrow."
"How is Luo Xiaojun?" Gu Huai interjected.
"Xiao Jun hasn't gone to sleep yet; he's doing his homework at the table." The women's director pointed to Luo Xiao Jun in the room. "You have to say, Xiao Jun is a really sensible child; he's still doing his homework even after we've come all this way."
Gu Huai nodded, told Ling Yue to chat with the women's director at the door, and then pushed open the door himself.
Upon seeing Gu Huai enter, Luo Xiaojun jumped off the chair. "Officer, where is my dad?"
Although Luo Xiaojun is young, he is not stupid.
After being taken to the police station, they guessed Gu Huai's identity.
"Xiao Jun," Gu Huai squatted down, his voice very soft, "Uncle wants to ask you a few questions, okay?"
Luo Xiaojun nodded.
Did your dad take you to the beach a few days ago?
Luo Xiaojun thought for a moment, "Hmm, Uncle, how did you know?"
"Have you taken a boat yet?" Gu Huai pressed his advantage.
"Yes, I'll sit down." Luo Xiaojun looked at Gu Huai curiously. "Uncle, how did you know?"
Gu Huai didn't answer his question, but continued to press, "Do you remember where he took you?"
"I don't remember." Luo Xiaojun shook his head. "Dad was driving. I don't know where we were."
Gu Huai was not surprised by Luo Xiaojun's answer.
Luo Xiaojun is only ten years old, so it would be too much to ask him to explain the location clearly.
Therefore, Gu Huai chose to ask in another way, "Do you remember what buildings are nearby?"
"Dad told me not to tell anyone," Luo Xiaojun's voice trailed off. "Dad said it's our secret hideout..."
"Did your dad say he'd take you to see your mom in a few days?" Gu Huai guessed.
"Uncle, how did you know!" Luo Xiaojun's eyes lit up. "Dad must have told you, right?"
Although Gu Huai didn't want to lie, he knew in his heart that Luo Xiaojun was now the only breakthrough point.
Therefore, he had no choice but to nod in agreement with Luo Xiaojun's words, "Yes."
"Hmph! Dad's a liar. He clearly said he wouldn't tell anyone," Luo Xiaojun complained.
"Xiaojun, can you tell Uncle now, Yaoyao?"
"Hmm," Luo Xiaojun nodded, thought for a moment, "I remember there was a big white chimney over there that was always emitting smoke."
As he spoke, Luo Xiaojun gestured with his hand.
Seeing this, Gu Huai quickly took out paper and pen, drew a chimney in his notebook, and handed it to Luo Xiaojun to see.
Is that so?
"Um."
Seeing that he finally had a clue, Gu Huai immediately stood up and walked outside.
Upon seeing this, Luo Xiaojun quickly stood up and asked, "Uncle, has my father been arrested?"
Looking at Luo Xiaojun, who seemed like a little adult, Gu Huai couldn't bear to tell him the truth. He simply reached out and patted Luo Xiaojun's head before running outside.
As Gu Huai stepped out the door, Ling Yue immediately followed. "Did you find a clue?"
"The general area," Gu Huai said, "is by the sea, surrounded by large white chimneys."
As he spoke, Gu Huai handed the sketch to Ling Yue, "We need to go find Wang Zhi."
Soon, Gu Huai arrived at Wang Weiguo's office.
Before even knocking, Gu Huai could hear some noise coming from inside the office.
Because of the door, Gu Huai couldn't hear what was being argued inside, but he vaguely heard that it seemed to be about the case.
Without thinking much, he knocked on the door and called out, "Chief Wang, there's new information."
With Gu Huai's shout, the arguing in the room came to an abrupt halt.
After a moment of silence, Wang Weiguo's voice came from inside.
"Come in!"
