   Snapped! A few photos were thrown on the iron table in the interrogation room. Meng Zhao pulled the chair away and sat down and joked: "How about Manager Li? Do you feel you should go to the gym more?"

    The interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau is no better than the prosecutor’s office. The only light source in the room is the lamp fixed on the iron table. The pale bright light shines on the photo, making the naked entangled ** more and more pale, immersed in the intoxicated madness of the face and At this moment, Li Hongxi's suddenly blue complexion formed a sharp contrast.

    Meng Zhao almost admired his expression with interest, then moved closer and asked mysteriously and slowly:

    "Or you are more accustomed to being respected by others as your second second name, don't you, "Pioneer of the Flood"?"

    These four words seemed like a verdict that was slammed down. Li Hongxi fell back in her chair, her mouth trembling like an electric shock, and it took a long time to squeeze out: "I am...I was tempted! I am not the principal criminal, I am tempted. of!"

    "Puff," Liao Gang sat on Meng Zhao's side and opened his notebook, snorting in his nose: "Nine out of ten of the ten who entered our'torture room' said that they were not the main criminal, but they weren't the main criminal, but you won't be the one in the end. It’s up to you. Come on, Pioneer of Flood, tell us how you met'Teacher Ba'?"

    This is the interrogation method that Bu Chonghua taught him in advance. It took the first step to throw out the fact that Teacher Ba had entered the police's line of sight, and took the lead in a more proactive way, making Li Hongxi subconsciously feel that he was not the only source of police information.

    This has a certain positive effect on speeding up the collapse of his last line of defense.

    Sure enough, Li Hongxi trembled when he heard the three words from Teacher Ba: "You guys! How are you—"

    Liao Gang stared at him blankly, without any intention to speak.

    The pressure accumulates in the quiet air, forming an unimaginable load of terror. Li Hongxi collapsed overwhelmed, and finally spoke incoherently: "...I met this person in a wash-bath city."

    Combined with the virtues of these people, it is not surprising at all.

    "Probably after May Day last year, at first he was just a little girl. We in the wolf circle will keep in touch with each other, where we get new people, where the girls live well, and we will make videos to communicate with each other. I got information the first time, and sometimes went out in private. This surnamed Ba not only has a lot of videos, but also watched people very enthusiastically, so I went out with him a few times and gradually became familiar."

    Li Hongxi gasped quickly, swallowed hard in her dry throat, and said hoarsely: "I don't know what his name is, only his last name is Ba-this is also normal, and wolves|friends basically don’t use real names, so I don’t have much. Asked. He probably thought that I was financially rich and generous, and gradually became willing to treat me as a friend. He introduced me to this teaching, saying that the girl inside was fresh and clean."

    Liao Gang felt a little vomiting as a man. At this time, Bu Chonghua's steady and brief reminder came from the Bluetooth headset: "Pay attention to your expression."

    "Ahem!" Liao Gang cleared his throat and said coldly, "You not only go to Fengyuan Village, right?"

    "Yes, yes, they had several meeting places at first, and it was more convenient for me in Jinhai City. But at the end of last year, the state focused on cracking down on this church, and many'hosts' were arrested, and slowly There is only one fixed stronghold in Fengyuan Village. The surnamed Ba said that the people there are honest and hidden, and the police did not expect to go to such a remote country to arrest... I met Gao Linlin at that time. Her parents were from Fengyuan Village.' Platoon leader', her home is the'receptionist' in that area."

    There was a glimmer of expectation in Li Hongxi's muddy eyes. It seemed that he wanted to find out the excitement or appreciation for this clue from the faces of Liao Gang and Meng Zhao-but he was disappointed.

    Outside the single-sided glass of the interrogation room, Bu Chonghua said solemnly to the Bluetooth headset: "Give a gamble and directly ask someone else's bone helmet."

    Meng Zhao raised his eyes and stared at Li Hongxi: "When did Gao Ling run away with that helmet?"

    "...!"

    Everyone knew almost immediately that they were right. Li Hongxi's pupils shrunk, her face changed drastically, and her handcuffs rattled through the interrogation room, looking at Meng Zhao incredulously: "How do you even know this, how do you know?"

    Meng Zhao raised his eyebrows and made a regretful expression at him.

    "...That helmet has nothing to do with me, and that helmet has nothing to do with me." Li Hongxi said in a mess, and said upside down: "That's something named Ba. He took the little girl out and let the little girl see... ... has nothing to do with me!"

    Although knowing it shouldn't, Meng Zhao and Liao Gang couldn't help but glance at each other, and each other's eyes were a little bit unconcealed in consternation.

    "So that helmet," Meng Zhao was the first to react and asked, "has the surname Ba ever said how much it is worth?"

    "I don't know, I don't know, I don't even know if it's fake." Li Hongxi tremblingly rubbed her hands and said hoarsely: "The person with the last name Ba said that the helmet has a long history. It is made of the skull of the great Bon Lama. The artifact was spread from Tibet in the early years, and I don’t know how it fell into his hands. He showed me the auction record of another similar human bone helmet after it was spread to Europe. He said that the helmet was filled with soft cloth. Only a little bit of bronze is used for the external inlay link, and the frame supported by the skull in his hand and the decoration inlaid on the outside are made of silver and turquoise, which should be more valuable. He usually hides very tightly and is reluctant to show it to others. Look, only once I was drunk and bragging before showing it to me."

    "The surname Ba came to you and said Gao Ling had taken away the'big business'. Does it mean that he intends to sell this helmet?" Meng Zhao asked.

    Li Hongxi swallowed and shook her head: "He always said that he was going to sell, and he always felt that I knew many bosses and asked me to help inquire about buyers, but I felt that he didn't really want to sell this thing, that's it. Just say it."

    "why?"

    "He thinks it can be appreciated." Li Hongxi showed a hint of helpless sarcasm. "And it is not that easy to sell. Although there are more and more people collecting these things in China, they are all gadgets such as human bone rosary and long bone flute. My son, the demand market for'big things' is quite limited, so I might as well keep it for later."

    Bu Chonghua stared at his gray profile face through the one-sided glass, his expression noncommittal, without saying a word.

    Liao Gang turned over a few pieces of case materials, a little suspicious: "He took this thing so tightly, can Gao Ling steal it?"

    "Police officer, you are also a man, you still don't know something about men?" Li Hongxi smiled miserably: "--Let me say this, let me make an analogy: if you know that the surname Ba is coming to me, it must be my wife. What the bitch heard and came to tell you on his own initiative. Isn't this a living and bloody example? There is a knife on his head. Why has it been said since ancient times that women delay things? Isn't that true?"

    Liao Gang sneered, but didn’t say anything. Meng Zhao sneered: “Your wife shouldn’t have posted to marry you such a poor and two white phoenix man who could not even afford a wedding ring, but said I don’t need to mention this now.” She changed the conversation and asked: “The surnamed Ba found that Gao Ling had run away and the human bone helmet was gone. How do you plan to solve this?”

    Li Hongxi was obviously more resistant to Meng Zhao, but did not refute, and only sneered: "You even know about Gao Baokang's existence, and still can't think of how he intends to solve this matter? Of course it is completely'solved.' The teaching staff has reached that position, it is not bloody to do it, don't you see that the little girl is killed in the end?"

    Liao Gang threw out a photo of the notice of the assistance investigation, and tapped his knuckles: "What is the relationship between Gao Baokang and you?"

    "It's okay, how could I have something to do with that kind of low-level teaching people." Li Hongxi sneered more clearly: "This person has no money, no ability, and no use value. He doesn't even have the qualifications to'pass the spiritual bed', just a sideline. The fire is boisterous. That's the kind of hanging silk that will kill people for a little money, otherwise who is willing to change it?"

    ——Li Hongxi's inferiority is really in his bones, and he is at the end of his way, and he tried his best to maintain a superior sense of superiority to the "low-level congregation".

    But this sense of superiority didn't last long, Meng Zhao raised his eyebrows and leaned closer, seeming a little amused:

    "Since it doesn't matter, why do you go to the victim's house after Gao Ling's death and kill her roommate?"

    This is the reason why Li Hongxi was arrested, and it is also his unavoidable death spot. Almost at the same time as Meng Zhao’s voice fell to the ground, Li Hongxi's hands and arms trembled, trembling quickly extended his whole body, and then he suddenly went out and collapsed into a chair, desperate, as if even the last inch of his spine had been crushed. Stared at the ceiling.

    "I don't want to stop talking, I'm just afraid that the escort girl knows something, but the surname Ba has already decided to stop taking care of this matter."

    After a pause, he said weakly, "Because Gao Baokang never came back after May 2."

    Bu Chonghua let out a breath, leaving a fleeting mist on the glass.

    ——Sure enough, it was exactly what he had expected. It was not only his parents who lost contact with Gao Baokang after May 2nd, but also Li Hongxi, the teacher of Ba, who bought the murderer and others.

    "Not back?" Liao Gang asked in a more serious tone.

    "Yes, Gao Baokang has always been in contact with the surname Ba before he started. He has been with Gao Linlin for a period of time to find out where she works and her current address, but I heard the meaning of the surname, probably because I have never found a chance. I There is nothing to do. Until the end of April, the person surnamed Ba said that the time might come. Since then, Gao Baokang has not received any news. Until the news of the skeleton killing spread on the Internet on May 3, the person surnamed Ba was shocked. , Began to fidget."

    "why?"

    "Police officer, why do you think?" Li Hongxi sneered weakly. "People all over the world say they saw a skeleton. What if the police are inspired to start checking the skull? Besides, the details of the victim are completely inconsistent with the little girl surnamed Gao. Who knows what's going on with Gao Baokang?"

    —— He mentioned that the details of the victim were inconsistent with Gao Linlin. Meng Zhao immediately realized something keenly. He pulled out a photo of Nian Xiaoping and showed it to Li Hongxi: "You don't know who she is?"

    "I don't know, at least I haven't seen it." Li Hongxi observed for a while and shook her head: "But looking at this age, it seems that the group likes it, maybe it's a little girl who is used to'pass the spiritual bed'. ." 999 novel first published https://www.999xs.com https://m.999xs.com

    Impossible, the autopsy results showed that Nian Xiaoping's virgin|membrane was intact, and she was not a victim of the spiritual bed.

    Then why was she killed?

    Both Meng Zhao and Liao Gang were very surprised, but no one showed it. Meng Zhao asked: "What then? Ba thinks Gao Baokang might have run away with the head?"

    "He really guessed this, but he was not sure. He was afraid that Gao Linlin was not dead, and he was afraid that looking for a human bone helmet would attract the attention of the police, so he dared not make any more actions for a few days. Until May 9 The picture of the second corpse broke out on the Internet, and he confirmed that Gao Linlin was dead. He felt that Gao Baokang must have ran away with a human bone helmet."

    "If the Skeleton Killing hadn't been a storm in the city, the surnamed Ba wouldn't be scared like that. But now that the human bone helmet is probably in the sight of the police, he would not dare to attack Gao Linlin's escort female roommate, and even hope Gao Baokang runs as far as possible with his head. It’s best to never be caught by the police in his life.” Li Hongxi looked down at the dim and stagnant air in the interrogation room and said, “But the problem is that when he stops his hand at this time, it is equivalent to letting me go. In a very dangerous situation, after all, no one knows if Gao Linlin has ever said anything to an escort girl—she knows my name and company. If the secret is leaked out, I won’t be over? I have no other way but... …You can only take the risk and go out in person..."

    "Just because of this?" Meng Zhao narrowed his eyes. "Gao Linlin is dead, and you haven't entered the police's sight for the time being. You dare to kill people just because you are worried about this?"

    "I didn't want to kill anyone!" Li Hongxi screamed in denial as if being stabbed by a needle.

    Both Liao Gang and Meng Zhao stared at him without speaking, and the interrogation room was silent.

    It took a long while for Li Hongxi to close her eyes tightly and lower her head collapsed. The whimper gradually oozes out: "I just think of a escort girl... No one cares about what happens, and no one can find out..."

    His body squatted, his shoulders kept moving, and a man who was about 1.8 meters tall seemed to be shorter than Meng Zhao. However, no one could feel the slightest pity. Meng Zhao turned the pages of the case file and said indifferently: "How much personal information can you provide about'Mrs. Ba'? Photos, residential addresses, bank accounts, and social network names are all counted. You can consider performing meritorious service. "

    "I...I don't know, their kind of experienced people hold their personal information very tightly." Li Hongxi sniffed hard and said vaguely: "I had a photo with him before, but After that day...after the body of Gao Linlin was found, I was afraid that it would be burned, so I burned it all."

    All burned?

    Meng Zhao and Liao Gang twisted their eyebrows at the same time.

    "I also want to strive for meritorious performance, but there is only so much I can know. You can check the rest yourself. Can't your police find out everything?" Li Hongxi looked at them, and a sneer broke out in her chest. Every time he laughed, his whole body shook, and the handcuffs made a vibrating noise. There was a kind of desperate madness: "My biggest mistake is that I shouldn't be calm, shouldn't go to the escort girl, shouldn't be by you The policeman who sent the escort girl home in the middle of the night found that...I had no record and no DNA. Even if you find out the species in that girl’s belly, it’s impossible to compare with me. If it weren’t for me, I’m too scared. You can’t catch me at all.”

    He lowered his head and pressed his fist against his wrinkled eyebrows in just a few days, as if he was swearing and hypnotizing himself, his face was distorted by biting his teeth:

    "I didn't lose to the police, I didn't lose to the police... I just lost to myself."

    The interrogation room was as quiet as a tomb, and the darkness in the sky grew deeper and deeper, gradually devouring his stiff figure.

    Knocking, Bu Chonghua's two soft taps came from the Bluetooth headset, and then he commanded: "You come out."

    Liao Gang nodded invisibly to Meng Zhaoji, motioned her to go first and took care of the rest of the paperwork by herself.

    Meng Zhao knowingly got up and left, closing the door with his backhand. Liao Gang sat in his place and sorted out the transcripts. He took a pen to let Li Hongxi stare at him and sign the words.

    "I can't understand what you said about the'man's thing'," Liao Gang said suddenly and indifferently.

    Li Hongxi was signing mechanically, and after hearing the words for a few seconds, the chaotic brain dullly realized what he was talking about.

    "Even if I like a woman, I will still be in love. It will only be courteous, bright and upright. I will neither deceive my heart nor cause trouble. You say a knife on the head, It's better to say that you always owe you when you want to, you are hard to fill in the valley, and you are often dissatisfied. Sooner or later you have to bury your life in it, and it has nothing to do with the women who have been harmed by you."

    Liao Gang stared at Li Hongxi's bloodshot eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I don't think you will have the chance to harm any woman for the rest of your life."

    Meng Zhao pushed open the door of the monitoring room outside: "Team!"

    Bu Chonghua sat in the monitoring room outside the one-sided glass, his white shirt cuffs stacked on his elbows, revealing his muscular white arms, and a thin dark blue coat was put on his shoulders because of his injuries. He leaned back in the back of the chair, his long legs stretched and overlapped, his fingers crossed in front of his nose and thought for a while, not knowing what was in his mind, and suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

    "His motive for committing the crime is too ridiculous." Meng Zhao didn't conceal it, and said straightforwardly: "Even if Gao Ling had said something to Liu Li in his lifetime, a staggered girl with drug addicts ran to expose him as a well-dressed person with social status. It's useless to have no evidence. I don't believe that he went to her because he was afraid of Liu Li's nonsense. There must be other motives behind it."

    "Yes." Bu Chonghua let out a long sigh and slowly said, "Gao Ling's body was found on the morning of May 9th. He sneaked into Liu Li's house at night, and in the middle he burned all the photos of himself and'Ms. Ba'. Photo...He is not afraid of catching fire, he is protecting'Ms. Ba'. There is a deeper connection behind these people."

    Meng Zhao's face sank slightly.

    "Let the technical team try to restore Li Hongxi's computer and mobile phone albums, and screen the surveillance video near his home at 3 a.m. on March 18th to see if anyone matching the characteristic sketch appears." Bu Chonghua stood up and thought about it. He also ordered: "Send out a few teams to the bathing city frequented by Li Hongxi to see if they can find the sketches of the escort girls to let them identify'Ms. Ba', and tell the escorts who participated in the identification in exchange for cooperating with the police In case they are caught next time in an anti-pornography campaign, they can be fined without penalty."

    "Yes!"

    "Go back early to rest after I'm busy. I'll go home first."

    Meng Zhao was immersed in the thoughts of the case and hummed absent-mindedly. After five seconds, there was a sudden excitement-who went home first?

    The click door was closed, and Bu Chonghua's tall and straight figure disappeared behind the door panel.

    "..." Meng Zhao was dumbfounded, and murmured for a long while: "He was pierced by the soul, right?"

    At nine o'clock in the evening, the night fell, and the lanterns under the sky in the city were lit up.

    Half a station away from Heyun Road in Jinhai City, Tianlu Community, in the bright and spacious corridor of Building 3A, the elevator door slowly opened, Bu Chonghua walked to the door of his house and stopped, took out the key, and stopped for some reason. second.

    He stared at the security door, and finally cleared his throat after a while, unlocked the door and pushed in:

    "I am back!"

    The large living room was empty, the lights were not turned on upstairs and downstairs, and the whole home was submerged in the rush of night outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

    Fell asleep? Bu Chonghua thought.

    He took off his shoes, put on his jacket, and put the takeaway box on the coffee table in the living room. He went straight upstairs to the door of the guest bedroom. He just opened the door gently, and suddenly he had another meal.

    ——There is no light from the crack in the door.

    "..." Bu Chonghua didn't know what he was thinking, so he stood motionless for a while in front of the door of the guest bedroom, and slowly turned around.

    The huge, well-decorated complex did not turn on the lights, and the ambiance of the city center in the distance passed through the night, reflected in his pupils, flashing inconspicuously. There was no expression in Bu Chonghua's eyes. He stepped down from the glass handrails of the stairs, stepped on the floor tiles of the living room, and was about to go to the hallway to hang up his jacket. He turned his head and glanced at the study room, and was stunned.

    The study door was half open, shrouded in darkness, but the room was faintly shining.

    In an instant, a certain premonition roared, and Bu Chonghua's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly pushed open the door of the study room and came to the door of the practice room to take a look.

    The warm yellow wall lamp pouring down on the delicate velvet cover of the grand piano, Wu Yu sat cross-legged on the piano bench, with one side of his face resting on the button cover, and fell asleep. The book "Introduction to Cybercrime and Research on Electronic Forensics" just turned to three One part.

    Bu Chonghua looked at him for a long time, with an unclear expression in his eyes, and then walked into the room silently for a long time, and gently covered his jacket over his shoulder.

     "...Huh?" Wu Yu woke up almost immediately, looked up vaguely, then closed it tightly, and said vaguely: "Are you back?"

     Bu Chonghua was silent for a moment, turning his face to look at the delicate texture on the carpet: "Yeah. I'm back."
