Chapter 113 - Arrest (Revised Edition)
In the cold room, there seemed to be a smell of death wafting in the air.
The white cloth was uncovered, and when Zhou Jing's pale and lifeless face appeared in front of him, Lin Chendu's chest was full of grief and anger, and he couldn't restrain it at all, and unconsciously, his eyes were a little moist, and his fists were clenched tightly, even his nails sank deep into the flesh, and blood overflowed, as if he didn't realize it.
In all fairness, he and Zhou Jing are not familiar with each other, and even have a little disgust for this woman who loves vanity, but if he hadn't left the other party alone in the room last night, maybe such a tragedy would not have happened at all, therefore, Lin Chenwan had a deep sense of guilt, and in his opinion, he had an unshirkable responsibility for Zhou Jing's death.
The temperature of the room is very low, and in this kind of gloomy place, in the face of a dead person, even if she has a flower in front of her, it is by no means a pleasant thing, the two policemen who followed behind felt a little hairy and chilly, and they were uncomfortable, but Lin Chendu, like a stone sculpture, stood motionless next to Zhou Jing's corpse, and it seemed that he didn't even blink his eyes.
Lin Chenwan is still a suspect, and he can't move freely during the investigation stage, and wherever he goes, there are two policemen who follow him, and Gao Shize didn't lock him in the interrogation room and torture him severely, that's good.
Facing Zhou Jing's corpse, Lin Chenwan secretly swore in his heart that he must catch the real culprit, not only to clear his grievances, but also to seek an explanation for Zhou Jing's death.
When he turned to go out, no one noticed that a teardrop miraculously slipped from the corner of Zhou Jing's closed eyes.
As soon as he walked out of the room, a large group of people came in crying and crying outside, looking very sad, it should be Zhou Jing's family, especially one of the middle-aged women in their forties and fifties, who was crying so much that they were about to collapse, and they all relied on the support of others, otherwise I am afraid that they would not even be able to stand steadily.
Seeing this, the policeman on the side motioned for Lin Chendui to leave quickly, but the muscles at the corners of Lin Chendu's lips trembled, but he took a few steps forward, bowed to them gloomily, and then said sadly: "Festival mourning changes,"
"Thank you," a few people said with tears in their eyes, but a man glanced at the policeman next to him, and asked with some surprise: "Who are you, Xiaojing's friend, why haven't I seen you before?"
Lin Chendui smiled miserably, his heart was heavy, and he didn't know how to answer, so he turned around and left, but before he could take a few steps, he suddenly heard a terrible voice shouting: "He, he is the murderer of Xiao Jing......"
Lin Chendu's heart was in a pinprick pain, and his face was extremely ugly, he didn't want to explain anything, sooner or later the matter would come to light.
The grief and indignation of Zhou Jing's family members were already in a state of imminent bursting, and the words just now undoubtedly opened a gap for them, and the anger in their hearts suddenly seemed to be ignited, and all of them were vented at once, and they came one after another, shouting angrily: "Murderer", "Officials protect each other", "Let him pay for his life"...... Something like that.
The two policemen hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade them, but they were suddenly dispersed by the angry crowd, and each of them received several blows.
A burly man with an angry face grabbed Lin Chendu's collar, pushed him against the wall, and scolded viciously: "Damn, look at you are also well-dressed, why are you a well-dressed beast, say, how did Xiao Jing offend you, you want to kill the killer,"
Lin Chendui's face was extremely ugly, revealing a pale and helpless expression, but soon he regained his former calm and composure, and said with an unusually firm gaze: "I am not a murderer, and I have never hurt Zhou Jing, please believe me,"
"I believe you're paralyzed," the man punched Lin Chendui in the face, Lin Chendui only felt a pain in his nose, and the blood couldn't stop flowing out, and before he could react, he was already surrounded by a tide of anger, raindrops of dense punches and feet hit him, and even women scratched and scratched, leaving scars on his face one by one.
In the face of this group of angry family members, Lin Chendui couldn't fight back, all he could do was to protect his head and curl up in the corner of the wall to reduce the damage he received, his body hurt a lot, but deep in his heart it hurt even more, and he couldn't help it.
"Stop, stop for me," Lu Mingqiang, who came from behind, roared angrily, and then controlled the scene.
"What's the matter with you, it was this person who killed Xiao Jing, why are you still shielding him," someone said angrily.
"Let your fucking stinky fart, how can I cover it up, the matter has not been investigated clearly, who said that the person was killed by Township Chief Lin," Lu Mingqiang scolded angrily: "I think you are going to kill people, if you really want to beat Township Chief Lin out of something, see what you do,"
Since Lu Mingqiang served as the deputy director of the county public security bureau, his status among relatives and friends has also risen significantly, although others are dissatisfied with his words, but they don't say anything anymore, just look at Lin Chendui coldly.
After drinking to stop the excited family members, Lu Mingqiang forced to separate the crowd, and his heart was shocked, only to see Lin Chenduan's face stained with red blood donation, which looked a little shocking.
"Township Chief Lin, you, are you okay," Lu Mingqiang asked with some trepidation.
"It's okay, I'm fine," Lin Chenwan first moved his arm slightly, then raised his head, and staggered to his feet, his voice was weak, but his gaze was extremely firm, and Lu Mingqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Lin Chenwan standing up, everyone else was shocked, but then they wanted to rush up and hit him, but they were stopped by Lu Mingqiang, "You guys haven't made enough trouble, don't make trouble here,"
Lin Chenwan smiled at Lu Mingqiang, Lu Mingqiang could still believe in himself at this time, which made him feel extremely relieved, he walked forward, his body moved slightly, and his whole body was in pain, but he still held back, walked in front of the middle-aged woman, and said to her sincerely: "I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill Zhou Jing, please believe me, I promise you, I will find out the real murderer, in order to comfort Zhou Jing's dead in the sky,"
This woman punched Lin Chendui a few times, as if she wanted to vent the resentment in her heart in this way, but the fist hit Lin Chendui, but it became lighter and lighter, and finally leaned helplessly on other people, crying silently, and the painful cry made Lin Chendui's heart even more sour.
"Township Chief Lin, I think you better go and bandage it first," after getting into the car, a policeman who still had a blue nose and swollen face and a little torn brim of his clothes kindly reminded.
He was also injured by mistake just now, and from time to time he rubbed the sore spot with his teeth cracked, shouting bad luck.
"No need," Lin Chenwan shook his head and said, the pain on his body might be able to alleviate his psychological pain.
……
Gao Shize sat in the office, and there were already five or six cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of him, and his expression was very solemn.
Zhou Jing's murder, he originally wanted to press it first, but he didn't expect that in just half a day, there were several phone calls from the county, expressing concern about this incident, which made him feel pressured, and seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy, although their tone sounded very easy-going, but maybe a small spark could ignite this huge powder keg, and an earth-shattering explosion occurred, blowing himself to pieces, and there was no place to bury, and he also called the city bureau, but there has been no response so far, which made him even more confused.
"Gao Ju, what should we do now," Liang Yuanhao asked in a low voice.
Gao Shize was silent for a moment, then vigorously extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Deal with it as you want,"
Liang Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded understandingly.
He knew that Gao Shize was going to give up on Lin Chendui, and he could even predict Lin Chendu's bleak end, but he could also understand Gao Shize's approach, after all, at this time, it was difficult for Lin Chendui to clear his suspicions, Gao Shize would not do him any good if he continued to hold on for him, but would suffer from the consequences, and he didn't have a good impression of Lin Chendui. Of course, he was also angry with Lin Chendu.
Lin Chendui just returned to the bureau, Liang Yuanhao was already waiting at the gate with a few people, and when he saw him coming back, he immediately greeted him, showed Lin Chendui an arrest warrant with a serious expression, and said expressionlessly: "Township Chief Lin, I'm really sorry, but because you are suspected of a homicide, we will officially arrest you now,"
Lin Chen glanced at Liang Yuanhao in amazement, and indescribable complex emotions welled up in his heart, of course he knew that this matter, if there was no Gao Shize's approval, Liang Yuanhao would not have dared to do this at all, thinking about this Liang Yuanhao, who had seen him respectful before, put on a businesslike and ruthless face, so he smiled miserably and said, "Let's go,"
Looking at Lin Chendui's somewhat lonely figure, a policeman who had been accompanying Lin Chendui asked a little puzzled: "Team Liang, didn't the brothers go to verify the situation that Township Chief Lin said?"
"Verify a fart," Liang Yuanhao scolded angrily: "The few people he mentioned, including the doctor who changed his dressing, and Zhou Jing's boyfriend Hua Qiang, we haven't found any of them, and I don't know if he made it up himself,"
"Then you can't conclude that the person was killed by Township Chief Lin," the policeman's mood was a little heavy.
After witnessing the whole process of the matter, the balance in his heart was a little biased in favor of Lin Chendui, although he didn't have any evidence, but he felt that Lin Chendui behaved very calmly, and his eyes were extremely clear, he had never seen a murderer in the years of being a policeman, and when he saw the corpse he had killed, his expression did not show the slightest panic, but revealed spontaneous sadness and anger.
"Salty and don't worry about eating radish, just do your job well," Liang Yuanhao's face instantly hung a dark cloud, and after glaring at him angrily, he brushed his sleeves away.
And when Lu Mingqiang heard that Lin Chendu had been formally arrested, he was also shocked, and immediately rushed to Gao Shize's office and asked, "Gao Ju, how can you arrest Township Chief Lin," he looked very excited, dancing with his hands, and even knocked over the teacup that Gao Shize put on the desk.
"Lao Lu, it's not about arresting, it's just about carrying out the normal procedures and letting Township Chief Lin cooperate with the investigation," Gao Shize said slowly.
"Investigation," Lu Mingqiang heard this, his face turned red, the two tendons in the corners of his forehead were jumping suddenly, and he said with a dark face: "Gao Ju, don't you and don't believe that Township Chief Lin will kill people?"
Gao Shize smiled a little bitterly: "Lao Lu, of course I believe that Township Chief Lin will not kill people, but now all the evidence points to him, what do you want me to do, the county leaders have severely criticized our work, saying that we do not act according to the rules, there is a suspicion of covering up, what do you say I can do, besides, this arrest is just a formality, Township Chief Lin is here with us, and we can still suffer losses, if you really think about Township Chief Lin, go to find clues as soon as possible, find out the real murderer, and return Township Chief Lin's innocence as soon as possible,"
Lu Mingqiang was silent, Gao Shize said this, he also felt that there was a certain amount of truth, but he had to accept such a result by himself, he felt very uncomfortable.
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, Gao Shize's face turned pale, he picked up the phone, and asked very majestically: "Well, which one, I am Gao Shize,"
can hear the voice of the other party on the phone, the majesty on his face disappeared in an instant, he looked a little excited, and a little frightened, he stood up involuntarily, and even said with a flattering expression: "Hello Wang Ju,"
Lu Mingqiang on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then he became excited, the entire Dongping, worthy of Gao Shize's Wang Bureau, is only Wang Jian of the City Bureau, Lu Mingqiang has heard that Lin Chenwan and Wang Jian have a good relationship, even he, the deputy director, was handled by Lin Chenwan for him through Wang Jian, as long as Wang Ju is willing to come forward, then the matter, won't it all be solved.
So, Lu Mingqiang pricked up his ears, and listened to Gao Shize constantly responding: "Yes, yes, okay, Wang Ju, well, I know it, I will do it immediately......"
After putting down the phone, Gao Shize's face changed for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so Lu Mingqiang said a little impatiently: "Gao Ju, Wang, what did Wang Ju say?"
Gao Shize pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The Wang Bureau called just now, saying that the Municipal Bureau is going to take over the case of Township Chief Lin in an all-round way, and the task force will arrive at the latest in the evening, so let's do a good job in the relevant transfer procedures and work,"
"Great," Lu Mingqiang said a little excitedly, and at the same time his heart was even more happy.
He didn't expect that the city bureau would come forward to take over Lin Chendu's case so soon, it seems that the top of the world really attaches great importance to Lin Chendu, and they all say that they will send charcoal in the snow, and they still support him at such a critical moment, except that they really don't believe that Lin Chendui will kill people, isn't it just for this, as long as Lin Chendui turns over, then he will definitely get more rewards.
And although Gao Shize smiled, he was very annoyed in his heart, he hated himself for why he didn't insist on it much, and gave Liang Yuanhao such a reckless order, maybe it would make Lin Chenwan think about it, the most important thing now is to see if he can try his best to make up for this scar between him and Lin Chendu.
