Chapter 20

“You, what nonsense are you talking about?” Xiao Ding was startled.

He kicked the man who was holding his thigh away with a heavy kick.

This action made Zhao Nianhui’s eyes pause for a moment.

Deputy Director Liu frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Xiao Ding seemed calm and composed.

Except when he saw Aunt Li, his emotions fluctuated quite dramatically.

Now he has returned to his previous honest appearance.

“Director Liu, I know this guy. We’re from the same neighborhood. He always comes to me when he makes mistakes, but I’ve never used the back door.”

These words explain the man’s unusual behavior just now.

There were two police officers holding people down, and one of them looked familiar.

Xiao Deng was so angry that he slapped the man on the head.

“The beast tried to run away, but luckily this comrade stopped him in time.”

Qin Hongyuan’s face became even paler when he came back from going out.

Zhao Nianhui pulled his wrist to feel his pulse, and the pulse was not as steady as before.

He put down Qin Hongyuan’s hand unhappily.

“Has the wound opened again?”

No wonder this guy was in such a hurry to go out just now.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to be an unsung hero.

Qin Hongyuan’s wound must have been torn again.

Fortunately, the wound had been sutured in the hospital before.

“Hold it tight and don’t let go.”

Pull his hand to an acupuncture point on the back of his hand.

In Zhao Nianhui’s heart, Qin Hongyuan is just a patient.

She didn’t think there was anything unusual about this action.

But it was very different for Qin Hongyuan.

He had never had any contact with girls in his twenties.

Zhao Nianhui’s hands are delicate and white, like a piece of soft tofu.

When being held by her hand, Qin Hongyuan didn’t dare to move at all.

I was afraid of hurting that soft little hand by accident.

He said in a low voice, “Got it.”

This is not a good place to preach.

Knowing that Qin Hongyuan’s wound was no longer bleeding.

Zhao Nianhui no longer paid attention to him.

The little woman in front of him turned her eyes away, and Qin Hongyuan felt inexplicably lost.

“This guy is a well-known scoundrel in this town. He has done a lot of immoral things. I don’t believe he is clean. We will know after the interrogation.” Xiao Deng received a particularly meaningful look from Director Zheng and immediately cooperated with him in the show.

Director Zheng set up the trap just to catch the real murderer.

When he heard that there were more than two murderers, he thought of a risky method.

That is to act as bait to lure people into the trap.

The situation is tense right now, and it is highly unlikely that the two criminals will stay together.

So Director Zheng ordered people to spread the rumor that a criminal had been arrested.

Anyone wandering and hesitating around the police station at this time may be a criminal.

In addition to the leper caught by Xiao Deng and Qin Hongyuan, the other two policemen also caught one person each.

However, after interrogation, they were cleared of suspicion.

Those two also had clear alibis.

Only the leper spoke incoherently and couldn’t explain the cause of the injury on his leg.

Director Zheng’s face darkened. Something was wrong.

He had seen too many prisoners who resisted stubbornly.

Know too well how to break through these people’s psychological defenses.

The leper shouldn’t have been able to hold out for so long.

But he kept talking about this and that and never got to the point.

“Okay, no one’s disturbing us now.”

Director Zheng gave the order.

The only people in the interrogation room were him and Xiao Deng who was taking notes.

Others, including Deputy Director Liu and Xiao Ding beside him, were invited out.

“I advise you to tell me, have you read the words on the wall?”

Leniency to those who confess; severity to those who resist.

Laizi suddenly seemed like a different person.

He no longer had the calmness he had just had, and he avoided looking Director Zheng in the face.

“Even if you don’t say anything, it’s impossible for the neighbors and pedestrians around you to not find some clues. You have to know that if we find out and if you take the initiative to tell it, the result will be completely different.”

Director Zheng was confident at this moment. He was sure that this leper would not be able to hold on for long.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The bald man’s hands were moving frantically and his forehead was covered with sweat.

He was obviously struggling with his psychology, and he saw a breakthrough in his approach.

Director Zheng tightened his grip on the teacup and pressed, “Will you tell me or not?”

Lai Zi shuddered, “Tell me, I’ll tell you everything.”

People outside are not aware of what happened inside the house yet.

Among the crowd, only Xiao Ding looked lost.

“I’m sorry.” He said suddenly.

The sound was so quiet that almost no one heard it.

Only Qin Hongyuan’s ears moved slightly.

Then, Xiao Ding suddenly knelt on the ground.

This operation scared Aunt Li and Uncle Li so much that they looked panicked.

They still don’t understand what’s happening.

Seeing Xiao Ding kneeling on the ground at this moment, I thought he was regretting what happened before.

The couple continued to comfort Xiao Ding.

“Hey, Xiao Ding, what are you doing? You can help our family in times of difficulty. The old man and I are very grateful to you.”

Xiao Ding’s face turned pale, especially when he saw the comfort in Aunt Li’s eyes.

He pushed Aunt Li away like a madman, yelled, and then ran out of the police station.

Even Zhao Nianhui was almost hit by him, luckily Qin Hongyuan helped her in time.

At this time, the door of the interrogation room opened.

Director Zheng walked out and looked at the people outside.

“Where’s Xiao Ding?”

“Send men to surround his house immediately.”

Deputy Director Liu’s breathing paused after hearing these two sentences.

I guessed what happened almost immediately.

It’s a pity that Xiao Ding deceived him all the way.

In order to atone for his sins, Deputy Director Liu personally led the team.

It only took half an hour to bring the person back.

When Xiao Ding was captured, she looked dazed, with a skirt tightly clenched in her hand.

The moment they saw the skirt, Uncle Li and Aunt Li burst into tears.

Before, they didn’t believe that it was Xiao Ding who did it.

Until I saw this skirt that appeared here.

That was the clothing their daughter was wearing when she disappeared.

Aunt Li became so emotional that she wanted to stab him.

“You beast, how could you be so cruel? She is so young…”

Xiao Ding may have felt guilty or wanted a reduced sentence.

Whatever the reason, he did not hide it and confessed everything.

That day, he was supposed to send the girl home.

It was too risky for the other party to come to the provincial capital alone to play with him.

They didn’t dare let anyone else know about what was going on between them.

After all, one is a sixteen-year-old girl and the other is a twenty-year-old young man.

Although Xiao Ding was tempted, he knew it was wrong.

He has always clearly rejected the girl and will not be with her.

Until that day, neither of them could bear it anymore.

Afterwards, Xiao Ding was very upset, even though the girl said she would not tell anyone.

But letting two people know the secret is inherently risky.

If this matter gets out, he will lose his job and his reputation.

So he dragged her to the cornfield and hit her in the face with a brick.

“I’m sorry, I’m just, so scared.”
