Chapter 958 Withered Seeds
Xiao Zhou is 26 years old this year, which is almost considered a young middle-aged person.
He works in a factory, has a low income and little free time. He is a pure blue-collar worker, almost a poor middle-class person.
It can be said that Liu Wenkai is very familiar with such an identity background - people who like to commit a certain type of crime almost all have a similar identity background. It is not to say that there are no people with other identity backgrounds who commit this type of crime, but in terms of proportion, there is always a group that makes up the majority.
To describe this situation with a nicer name, it could be "big data population portrait" or "FBI population profiling".
Just like robbers, they are generally strong and short of money. Although there are exceptions, for a criminal policeman like Liu Wenkai, if he catches a robbery suspect with this style, he will definitely not be surprised and will be used to it. On the contrary, if a person with a physical disability, lack of confidence in his own fighting ability, and not short of money appears, such a case can be discussed for five years.
Liu Wenkai only talked to Zhou Shetao for a few words and was quite sure that this was an ordinary criminal suspect with an introverted personality. To use the fashionable term, he was an I person, and to use the old-fashioned term, he was a dull guy.
Compared with extroverted boys, men like Zhou Shetao are more likely to fall into a state of sexual depression during adolescence, especially those who are not very handsome, have little money, are not very good at studying, are not completely bad, lack friends, are not good at sports, lack courage, and live in a depressing environment... This is especially true.
"You should know why we came to your door today, right?" After Liu Wenkai confirmed Zhou Shetao's character, he began to increase the pressure.
People are sensitive and fragile at heart. If they are friends, you should protect them carefully, but if they are enemies, you should use the sharpest words and body movements to make them collapse.
There is no need to be gentle with women here. The most common method used in interrogation is pressure. Because the criminal police have experience and the criminals do not, many criminals collapse when facing moderate pressure. Some criminals may not be able to recover after being in prison for several years. Some will tremble every time they see someone in uniform. Even after being released from prison, they still avoid the police and other public officials.
Liu Wenkai was also anxious for the result. His task was to visit hundreds of people throughout Guangdong Province. Although Zhou Xiao and Zhou Da were highly suspicious, to be honest, it was just a hunch. It was like buying antique porcelain and feeling something when seeing the bottle, but not putting all your money in before seeing the inscription and the bottom.
Zhou Shetao frowned and said, "You were the ones who came to me, how would I know?"
Liu Wenkai said sternly: "Be serious. You don't know? Why are you pretending?"
Zhou Shetao: "How would I know that?"
Liu Wenkai: "Zhou Shetao, let me tell you, there are so many of us who drove for dozens of hours to come here. We will not go back just because you say a few words. Let me make it clear, whether you confess today or not, you have to go back to Shannan Province with us. If you don't confess here, you can tell it in the interrogation room of Changle City Bureau."
Zhou Shetao was shocked: "Why? I won't go back!"
"It's not your call!" Liu Wenkai just wanted to make Zhou Shetao uncomfortable. For anyone, the thought of being escorted thousands of miles away would make them feel uncomfortable instinctively.
Zhou Shetao stood up suddenly.
The two detectives standing nearby grabbed him and pushed him back into the chair.
Liu Wenkai took the opportunity to attack: "Want to run? Handcuff him to the back of the chair."
The two detectives immediately took things a step further by handcuffing Zhou Shetao's hands behind his back to a chair, making the position more complicated and suggesting that the situation had become more complicated.
When faced with the complex world outside, introverts sometimes just want to surrender. At certain times, as long as it can calm the world in front of them, they will agree even if they know they will suffer losses.
While the two criminal police officers were holding Zhou Shetao, Liu Wenkai asked again: "Do you remember now?"
"I don't know. At least tell me why you arrested me." Zhou Shetao struggled for a few times and then gave up, but his expression showed that he was holding back.
But in Liu Wenkai's opinion, his body language and facial expressions are inconsistent.
It seemed that Zhou Shetao was a little too skilled. Not only did he fail to trick the suspect, which was normal, but he was able to face the criminal police's increasing pressure bravely and calmly, which was not the performance of an ordinary introvert.
At this moment, neither Liu Wenkai nor the criminal police around him had a good look on their faces. On the contrary, Liu Wenkai was deliberately creating the image of a bad policeman or even a black policeman.
For ordinary people, the deterrent effect of such police is maximized.
In fact, it's not just ordinary people. Even the gentlemen and ladies who often solicit prostitution and perform prostitution would have doubts in their hearts when they see Liu Wenkai's current expression and actions. Most of the time, they would rather admit the fact of prostitution and receive an administrative penalty.
If Zhou Shetao was normal, he should say something now. At the very least, he should show a certain degree of submission.
Liu Wenkai thought that Zhou Shetao was carrying a big case behind him. Judging from Zhou Shetao's personality and experience, Liu Wenkai thought that he was probably trained.
Just like Da Zhou, Zhou Jiantao, his expressions must have been developed through training.
Liu Wenkai laughed, sat down opposite Zhou Shetao, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you say you haven't done anything wrong, then you can answer a few questions honestly. After we verify that there is no problem, we will let you go. How about it?"
This was a relief, because Zhou Shetao was already tense enough under the pressure. On the other hand, Liu Wenkai's patience was recharged.
Now, it is not just the body of the vase that looks like the vase, the bottom and the signature also look like the vase. Although it is still just a resemblance and requires detailed research, Liu Wenkai is willing to talk to Zhou Shetao in detail.
Of course, at this point we cannot say that they are the murderers of the 430 case. It is possible that the two of them have run away with other cases, but Liu Wenkai feels that it is almost impossible to say that these two are innocent.
In other words, this pair of antique bottles has been confirmed to be old, but their exact age still needs further careful judgment.
Liu Wenkai looked at Zhou Shetao and said slowly, "Xiao Zhou, right? How long has it been since you went back to your hometown?"
Zhou Shetao, who had prepared various questions, was stunned. This question was a little unexpected. He thought about it for a while, then hesitantly said: "Well...several years."
"You don't even remember how long it has been since you went home? Don't you know when was the last time you went home?" Liu Wenkai's eyes lit up. He had been trying to hit the target without thinking, but he ended up hitting the target with a needle.
"I don't have time to go back." Zhou Shetao lowered his head.
"How long have you been away from home? When did you leave? Don't you have an idea?" Liu Wenkai pressed. "Tell me, will you make people suspicious if you behave like this?"
Zhou Shetao thought that there were records of his ticket purchases and his return home, so he couldn't hide it. He could only say, "I've been out for 10 years. I don't have the money to go home. I don't want to go back until I make money."
As he spoke, a few tears flowed from Zhou Shetao's eyes.
The tears are real, the emotions are real, but the words are not necessarily true.
Liu Wenkai curled his lips in disdain: "Your parents are still alive, but you two came out to work and haven't been home for 10 years. Don't you miss home? Your parents don't come to see you?"
"I've been here and seen it." Zhou Shetao said.
"Oh, wouldn't it cost more for them to come out to see you? After all, they can't live in the factory dormitory, and the expenses of booking a hotel..."
"Their company can reimburse some of the expenses." Zhou Shetao and his elder brother Zhou Jiantao had discussed this part of the story, and said: "We are working outside and saving money to buy a house. When they retire, they will sell the house in their hometown and move to Guangdong Province."
Zhou Shetao's emotions gradually returned to normal. His defense was already very strong in the eyes of ordinary people. The brothers' defense was not purely out of fantasy. They also consulted lawyers through places like live broadcast rooms.
But for Liu Wenkai, these only stimulated his sexual interest.
In the American legal community, there is a long-term job called moot court, which includes moot court offense and defense, and more often, simulated court questioning of witnesses.
But in China, lawyers basically don't do this. It's not that they don't want to make money, but because simulated dialogues or pre-prepared testimony have limited value. Because court speeches in the United States, especially witness testimony, are spoken to ordinary people on the jury. In Chinese courts, professionals play a decisive role.
Even if ordinary people are well prepared, it is easy for professional legal professionals to see through them. After all, the clerks in the court are veterans who have been working for many years.
Just like now, although Zhou Shetao's answer was steady, in the eyes of Liu Wenkai, who had been a criminal policeman for nearly 10 years, he was still a rookie. He was just a trained rookie. Even if he had been trained for years, he was still not as good as a real veteran.
Liu Wenkai stared at Zhou Shetao for a long time, until he felt uncomfortable, then he smiled softly: "That is to say, your parents are also insiders."
As he spoke, Liu Wenkai took out his cell phone and started dialing numbers.
Zhou Shetao was stunned and said, "It has nothing to do with my parents."
"Then we have to take him back to the police station for questioning. If he knew about the crime but didn't report it, he would be suspected of harboring a criminal. He would be sentenced to three years in prison, lose his job, and lose his pension." Liu Wenkai said as he continued to press his phone.
"It has nothing to do with them!" Zhou Shetao's outer shell completely collapsed, and his expression was distorted.
Liu Wenkai smiled without saying anything and picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Old Liu..."
"Ah..." Zhou Shetao went crazy in an instant and tried frantically to snatch Liu Wenkai's cell phone.
But his hands were handcuffed and he couldn't move at all. When he struggled to free himself, not only did his wrists bleed, but he also fell to the ground with the chair.
Zhou Shetao let out a low, insane roar and twisted his body like crazy, trying to make the other party surrender.
The criminal police standing on his right took out the stun gun without hesitation and pressed Zhou Shetao's thigh and hit him.
Zhou Shetao's whole body froze and became rigid in an instant.
What kind of crazy literature is it? It is totally insignificant in the face of a criminal case.
Liu Wenkai held up his phone in front of Zhou Shetao and continued, "Check Zhou Jiantao and Zhou Shetao's parents. These two people should be insiders. Bring them to the police station for a thorough interrogation."
Putting down his phone, Liu Wenkai came to Zhou Shetao again, fanned himself with his hands, frowned and said, "Incontinence? It's okay, it will be gone in a while. What do you think, do you want to confess now, or wait until your parents suffer a round of punishment, or two, and then confess?"
Zhou Shetao wet his pants and seemed to have no tears when he cried. He just looked at Liu Wenkai with hatred.
"It's up to you whether you want to tell me or not. I can wait with you for news from your parents to see how long they can hold out." Liu Wenkai looked at Zhou Shetao calmly and said, "For a case like this, we can at least detain the person for 37 days. After 37 days, if you can still hold on, I can apply for an extension of the detention time..."
Liu Wenkai never mentioned the name of the case from beginning to end.
But at this time, Zhou Shetao no longer cared about so much. He felt the stinging pain in his thigh, the coldness of the urine and the shame of lying on the ground. He didn't want his parents to suffer like this again from the bottom of his heart.
"I said, I did it all." Zhou Shetao now only hated himself for not committing suicide earlier.
"What did you do?" Liu Wenkai asked.
"I... I killed that mother and daughter." When Zhou Shetao said this, he suddenly felt relieved, just like the feeling of finally releasing his urine after holding it in for the entire journey on a long-distance bus.
Liu Wenkai asked: "Tell me the name."
"Sui Yingxue and Mai Qinsui."
This time, it was Liu Wenkai's turn to breathe a sigh of relief, and he immediately asked, "How did you kill him?"
Zhou Shetao: "Strangled to death."
"Tell me step by step how you strangled him to death."
Zhou Shetao let out a long sigh and began to describe slowly.
Liu Wenkai assumed that he was the one who killed the person together with Da Zhou, and judging from Zhou Shetao's answer, he still concealed the specific process of the killing, because you can't strangle one person to prevent another from escaping or fighting back.
But at this time, Liu Wenkai was not in a hurry to correct Zhou Shetao, so he let him answer half-truthfully, and then asked, "How did you get in?"
"Her father got drunk once and fell on the side of the road, and I helped him in. After I got in, I suddenly had an idea and made an imprint of the key to their door on a chewed piece of gum, and then... I found guides online, bought things, and made a key myself."
"when did it happen?"
"May. On May Day."
"That is, 11 months before the incident?"
"Yes."
Liu Wenkai looked at Zhou Shetao in front of him, feeling so angry that his teeth were itching, but he also admired the patience of this kind of person.
Some lazy people may work as bootlickers for three or four years, while some lazy people can spend half a year learning how to make keys using molds made from chewing gum, and then spend another half a year debugging it again and again until they make a suitable key.
He could have directly stolen the keys from Mai Zuqing. If the whole bunch of keys was lost, Mai Zuqing would probably think that he lost them while drunk and might not even change the locks. But the 16-year-old Zhou Shetao refused to take the easy way and used a stupid method to commit the worst crime.
