Chapter 5 Arrest

"Who is it?" In the dimness, it seemed that he could vaguely hear the sound of his door lock being pried. Yi Heng, who had not yet recovered from the continuous drinking at the party last night, tried hard with his still dazed head. Think back.He shouldn't have to go to work today, it's impossible for someone from the company to come here to urge him, right?

Just as Yi Heng was thinking about whether to get up and go out to have a look, he only heard a loud bang from the living room outside, and then the bedroom door was forcibly knocked open from the outside, and several figures quickly entered the room.As soon as he rushed into the bedroom, Yi Heng, who had only slept for a few hours with the smell of alcohol on his body, was lying on the bed in a coma, before he could even change his clothes.Then, he forcefully pulled Yi Heng up and dragged him away.

Due to the influence of alcohol, Yi Heng, whose hands and feet were a little sluggish and had no time to resist, was dragged away inexplicably.When I got to the door, the person next to me put a kraft paper bag on my head, and immediately I couldn't see anything in the range of vision, and I could only see how my feet should be through the gap under the paper bag.

As soon as he walked a few steps outside, Yi Heng could hear the voices of various people around him, and he could also hear the non-stop flashing lights and the shutter of the camera. It seemed that there were many people gathered around Ask questions aloud.But for Yi Heng who didn't know what happened, those quick and sharp questioning voices overwhelmed each other. Gradually dragged to the lower floor.

After being taken to the first floor, he was pushed into the back seat of the car, and when he heard the siren on the roof after the car started, Yi Heng's head suddenly became clearer.How did you get brought into the police car?He obviously didn't mess with anything bad, right? ?

……

"What are you staring at? Why? Are you still not convinced?" The young policeman standing aside saw Yi Heng looking at him fiercely, and could not help warning in a cold voice.

"..." Yi Heng was a little innocent, his eyes were born to look fierce, and looking at others seemed to be provocative.The timid people walked around him when they saw him, while the unhappy people thought he was looking for trouble.Because of his appearance, he is often involved in fights for no reason.He really just glanced to the side just now, but he didn't think about what to do.

"Tell me, do you have any impression of these people?" Another policeman, about 50 or [-] years old, with a medium build, frowned and spread a stack of photos on the table, asking Yi Heng across the table in a stern tone.

"Brother policeman...can you take off the handcuffs before asking me? Just handcuffing me like this doesn't feel comfortable at all." Yi Heng was handcuffed after he was escorted into the police station and into this room. His hands have been hanging on the iron chains hanging down in the room.Especially since the iron chain was quite short, Yi Heng had to keep standing with his hands raised all the time.It didn't take long for his hands to go numb, so he had no choice but to suggest to the policeman at the opposite table.

"Is this place comfortable for you? Come on, look at these photos!" The middle-aged policeman scolded Yi Heng with wide eyes, but he still turned his head to signal the young policeman next to him: "Xiao Zhong, change his position." Handcuffs."

"Yes!" The policeman named Xiao Zhong came over and changed Yi Heng's handcuffs to the side of the chair.One of Yi Heng's hands is handcuffed behind the chair, and the other hand can move or sit down.

"Huh──" Finally able to sit on the chair without raising his hands, Yi Heng looked down at the photos on the table: "This... and this, I have some impressions. The rest are just I don't quite remember."

"Can't remember? Just pretend. This, this, and these people are all people in the delivery area you are responsible for picking up and delivering. Don't you know them?"

"Express delivery? I'm not alone in the area I'm in charge of. I'm in the same group as other people and I'm in charge of an area. There are so many people, I can't remember their faces..." Yi Heng felt a little baffled, and he was arrested by mobilizing the crowd. Interrogation is about asking these "clients".Well, although he had some conflicts with many customers when he first started express delivery because of his personality and appearance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration until now that those customers thought of collectively complaining to the police, right?

"But according to our investigation, you have more or less conflicted with the people in these photos, haven't you?" The middle-aged policeman stared at Yi Heng closely, as if carefully observing the expression on Yi Heng's face. any suspicious expression.

"Maybe I had a little quarrel with this and that person. But that was very early, and my temper has changed a lot now." Yi Heng looked at the impressive people in the photo, and every time he went to When delivering or receiving couriers, the attitude of those people is unbearable.Even though he has said in his heart N times that the customer is God, there are still a few faces that make people unable to endure, Yi Heng does have a little memory.

"A quarrel? It's not just a quarrel, is it? I see in your records, you have injured people and sent them to the hospital." The middle-aged policeman flipped through the record book in front of him, expressing doubts about what Yi Heng said.

"...that's..." Yi Heng heard the police's attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end, couldn't help but pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then continued to answer calmly: "Since the policeman, you seem to be in everything. The investigation has been clear, so you don't need to ask me again, do you?"

"Yes, the records are very clear and detailed. You have a lot of records of fighting since you were a child, and you dropped out of high school because of fighting, right?" Continuing to flip through the record book, the policeman said.

"...Yes, then you have seen that my parents died in a car accident in junior high school, and I have been under the supervision of my grandma. I used to be fearless before causing trouble. When I was in high school, I learned that my grandma was sick and was blocked by others. After fighting, I was warned by the school, so I simply dropped out of school. Because my grandma needed a lot of money for medical treatment, and I didn’t have to find a job to make money. I only started this job last year. When I was just a courier, I got into trouble a few times because of my personality. That time I hit a customer because my grandma dragged it on for a few years and didn’t persist. The nagging disappeared, and I couldn't control it for a while..." Yi Heng looked at a certain photo on the table, and remembered that the person in the photo was mocking his family with the corners of his mouth up, and he still has some emotions when he thinks about it now. I can't control it, I really want to beat that person every time I meet him.

"With your service attitude, customers are scared away, right? Why don't your courier companies fire you?" The young policeman who was standing by and listening to Yi Heng couldn't help but interjected and asked.Such people are not fired, the boss is quite generous.

"Our courier company is not very big and formal, and my salary requirements are not high, and I am willing to do anything, and the boss is still willing to keep me." A few people were willing to do it, and every time the people who came to their courier company for an interview, they ran away within a few days.I don’t have any complaints about moving goods. Yi Heng is strong enough and can be used by two people. Even if the customer doesn’t like it, the boss will change another person to pick up the goods.You must know that it is not so easy to find someone who is willing to do things nowadays, so the courier boss is still willing to turn a blind eye.

"Don't talk about the topic." He warned the young policeman who took the topic away, and the middle-aged policeman continued to return the topic to the original inquiry: "On XX, XX, and XX, from X to XX Dot, where are you?"

The dates of these inquiries are the inferred time of the crime after combining the time period of the victim's disappearance.

"Then...how do I still remember?" In addition to his courier work during the day, Yi Heng also sometimes works part-time in a bar at night.Carrying a heavy wine box or cleaning, or sometimes being a security guard for troublesome drunk guests.

In the past, when his grandmother was sick, Yi Heng did more work, such as carrying sandbags on the construction site and other physical work.Because he couldn't find a better job because of his academic qualifications, and because of his blunt speech and appearance, he was often fired after working in the service industry that directly faces people.Just doing physical work is not so easy to cause trouble.

But even though she was busy trying to make money, grandma still couldn't be cured in the end.Much of the money spent on medical treatment was borrowed from others, and Yi Heng had to repay the money himself.Also because of these, Yi Heng, who no longer wanted to challenge the limit of the courier boss, stopped talking directly to customers or something, and tried to learn to lower his figure and become more tactful.When the police asked about the time, Yi Heng thought about it carefully for a long time, and remembered that those few days happened to be the days when the bar was free and not too busy, and he had nothing to do, so he should rest at home.

"I really can't remember?"

"It seems... at home."

"Can anyone testify that you were at home?"

"...No, I just stayed at home alone, what evidence do I need?" Yi Heng didn't want to stay at home alone, but everyone around him knew that he was a person with a lot of debts.Even the girl who expressed her affection for him didn't continue to contact him after learning that he was poor and white.He also wanted someone who could prove that he was not alone, but unfortunately there was none.

After being asked many strange questions again, Yi Heng still didn't understand why he was arrested.Just when he was about to ask a question carefully, the middle-aged policeman pulled out a picture and put it in front of him, intercepting what he wanted to say.Yi Heng carefully observed the picture in front of him, and felt that the picture was a specially developed and enlarged screenshot on a black and white monitor.

The figure in the screenshot is not very clear, because the head is half covered by the hat, and the appearance of the face cannot be seen clearly.The uniform the man was wearing and the peaked cap on his head looked very familiar.

"The person pushing the big box in this picture, is that you?"

"Big box? I haven't sent such a big item recently..." Yi Heng looked at the black and white picture in doubt. He didn't have the memory of sending such a big box.

"This person, Li Yuanfeng, do you still have any memories?" Pointing to a picture of a woman on the table, the middle-aged policeman asked.

"Remember..." The middle-aged woman in the photo is a customer Yi Heng just met when he was working in a courier company to deliver goods.Just because I arrived a minute late, the middle-aged woman who was guarding the door and pinching the time counted the time for a long time, and even made a fuss about compensating for the psychological damage, which was at least half of the postage.So Yi Heng at that time couldn't hold back a few words, which made the middle-aged woman yell for complaints or something.Afterwards, the company never let him go there to pick up and drop off the courier.

"On XX, XX, a person wearing the clothes of your courier company was captured on the surveillance camera entering the community where she lived, and brought out a large box. Because it was a courier, it did not attract special attention from the security guards. But from From that day on, Li Yuanfeng just disappeared..."

But it was from this surveillance video that the middle-aged police found the first clue.And followed the clues to find the courier company and the courier team in charge of Li Yuanfeng's home area.

"That's not me! It's possible for others, why do you suspect that the person recorded on the monitor is me?!" Yi Heng faintly sensed that the police's investigation of him was not due to a general incident, but should be much more serious than a complaint. times things.

"There are six people in your team. One resigned before Li Yuanfeng disappeared, and the time did not match. Two are women, and their bodies and sizes are very different from those captured on the surveillance camera. The other two men, One is taller and stronger than you, and the difference can be seen on the monitor, while the other is short and thin. The only one that matches the figure on the monitor is you..."

Comparing the picture on the monitor, the middle-aged policeman stared at Yi Heng who was sitting opposite him.The tall stature and neither skinny nor fat figure are basically the same as those shown on the monitor.In addition, Yi Heng had quarrels and grievances with the victim, and there is no alibi. Everything seems to point to the person in front of him.

"...What happened to them?" Yi Heng was silent for a while, and finally asked the key.

"That should be you who came to tell us."

"Dong dong dong!!" There was an urgent knock on the closed door, and the middle-aged policeman turned his gaze away from Yi Heng and said, "Come in."

"Old Cheng, we found evidence in the suspect's home!"

"Oh? Okay, we'll talk about it when I come out." The middle-aged policeman called Lao Cheng signaled the young policeman to continue interrogating Yi Heng, got up and followed the person who called him outside to the door.

"What did you find??"

"We found the courier overalls at the suspect's home, and a small dot of red paint was found in one sleeve of the overalls. This may be the same type of graffiti paint used at the crime scene. It is estimated that the suspect did not notice the drop. A little bit inside the clothes. Moreover, we also found a small nail with nail polish in the upper pocket of the clothes. I don’t know if it can be matched with one of the victims.

"Then it will take some time to check these?"

"Well, but I don't think it's far from it. These evidences must be inseparable from the victim."

"But... are there only these evidences?" The middle-aged policeman still feels that if only these evidences are not enough.Moreover, the suspects being interrogated inside were completely different from the type he had expected in advance.

"You have also seen the situation at the scene. The murderer was very cunning and secretive, and all the evidence that could be destroyed was destroyed. The things that can be found now must be small omissions that the suspect himself did not notice. And...Old Cheng, You know it too. These days, the higher-ups are urging us every day to solve this case. No matter what, the evidence is enough to prove it."

"...Then you should analyze and check the things you found first, and I will go in and interrogate the suspect." The middle-aged policeman naturally knew the urgent urging to them from his superiors, and called their upper-level oppressors almost every day, hoping The case was quickly broken.Especially after learning that they had found clues and locked down the suspect, they became even more anxious.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"Hmm..." Nodding, watching the colleague leave after notifying the news, the middle-aged policeman turned back to the room, opened the door and went in, and continued to interrogate Yi Heng.
