Chapter 47 Detailed Inquiry
"Are there usually so few people in your office?"
Chu Lingyun continued to ask questions, and he would not miss any details. The clearer the questions, the easier it would be for him to determine the truth of the matter.
"Normally it's fine, but today two of us happened to be away, and the others were playing cards. Apart from the people on duty, I'm the only one in the office."
Chu Lingyun immediately asked: "Where did those two people go?"
Liu Cheng shook his head. "I don't know. They asked their team leader for leave, but I didn't ask what they were doing specifically."
"Where did you play cards before?"
The four people playing cards today were in the outer room of the cell, so Gao Yi called Liu Cheng. If they were in the office, Liu Cheng would not be able to hear him no matter how loud he shouted.
"Usually I'm either in the office or in the cell, mostly in the outer room of the cell. People often come to the office, so we don't dare to play here." Liu Cheng answered whatever was asked and cooperated very well.
"Who organized today's poker game? Why didn't you participate?"
"Gao Yi invited everyone to play cards today. I owed Gao Yi money, so he didn't let me play. He said the office needed to be empty, otherwise he'd get criticized if he couldn't find anyone when something happened."
Among the three, Chu Lingyun was most suspicious of Gao Yi, as it was indeed him who set up the card game.
"You owe Gao Yi money. Do you owe him money often, or just this time?"
"I often owe him money. Most of the money I lost playing cards with him is due to his good card skills. He usually wins and rarely loses. Several of us have owed him money."
"How much money did he lose today, and how long did it take him to lose it all?"
Gao Yi is good at playing cards, winning more and losing less, but he lost money today, which is another coincidence.
"I don't know how much I lost. I didn't participate in the game, but they didn't play for long before Gao Yi called me. I regretted coming to play today. Maybe I could have won back the money I owed Gao Yi."
Liu Cheng did not dare to hide anything about Chu Lingyun's problem. Chu Lingyun was one of the most powerful people in the station, and Stationmaster Wang valued him very much.
When interrogating the Japanese spy, they all saw Chu Lingyun's ruthlessness and brutality. Liu Cheng was afraid that Chu Lingyun would suspect him of having problems and torture him severely.
He knew that he could not bear such punishment at all, and the final result would most likely be a confession under torture.
"You went to deliver the money, why didn't you return to the cell immediately and continue guarding?"
Chu Lingyun asked another key question. They were just outside the cell, not far from where Chishima Keiko was imprisoned. If they had sent the money quickly and returned immediately, this would not have happened.
"Gao Yi wanted to go to the toilet and asked me to help him. I couldn't help but help him. When Gao Yi came back, I returned to the cell. By then, Chishima Keiko had committed suicide."
Liu Cheng had a sad face. He felt that he was the most unlucky person. He just made a phone call to help someone, but ended up encountering such a thing.
If he hadn't stayed in the office, or hadn't helped call Zhao Baishan to answer the phone, none of this would have happened. Even if Chishima Keiko really committed suicide, it would have nothing to do with him.
"How long has Gao Yi been in the bathroom?"
"A few minutes, not a long time. I'm not sure exactly. I even helped him win a hand of cards, and Gao Yi gave me half of the winnings."
Liu Cheng thought about it carefully and he really couldn't remember the exact time. He was playing cards at the time and would not have noticed the time when Gao Yi went to the toilet.
"Have you ever helped him play cards?"
"No, he's good at playing cards. He usually doesn't let us help him. If he wasn't in a hurry to go to the bathroom, he wouldn't have let me help this time."
Liu Cheng shook his head again, and Chu Lingyun thought to himself that there was really something wrong with Gao Yi. It could be said to be a coincidence before, but he was a person who didn't let others help him play cards, and suddenly he asked Liu Cheng to help him play. This in itself was a big problem.
"Okay, I get it. Keep all the questions I asked you just now to yourself and don't tell anyone."
Chu Lingyun warned Liu Cheng that before the truth of the matter was found out, all three people were suspects, and even everyone in the interrogation team could not escape.
"Team leader, have you figured something out?"
After Liu Cheng left, Shen Hanwen asked hurriedly, and Chu Lingyun nodded: "Yes, a little bit, Hanwen, go call Niuqiu."
Chu Lingyun did not immediately question Gao Yi. Now he was the biggest suspect, so Chu Lingyun still had to do some external investigations.
Loach quickly came over, and Chu Lingyun immediately ordered him, "Take someone to the hospital now to check if Zhao Baishan's child was really hit by a bicycle, how serious the injury was, and who hit him. Also, bring Zhao Baishan's wife back."
"Yes, Team Leader."
Loach saluted and was about to leave when Chu Lingyun immediately stopped him, "Don't worry. Also, investigate the recent whereabouts of Zhao Baishan, Gao Yi, and Liu Cheng. Investigate them thoroughly, especially their whereabouts over the past few days. Don't miss a single detail."
"Don't worry, Team Leader. I'll go check right away and make sure I find out which woman they slept with last night."
Loach said this with a smile, and Chu Lingyun couldn't help but smile. Loach was very suitable for investigating these things, much better than Shen Hanwen and Zhong Hui.
"Team Leader Zhu, this is just a routine question, please don't mind it."
The third person Chu Lingyun met was Zhu Zhiqing, as some issues still needed to be verified with him.
"Team Leader Chu, look at what you said. Ask whatever you need to ask."
Zhu Zhiqing said hurriedly that after something like this happened, the station would definitely investigate, but he didn't know the extent of the investigation. If the stationmaster was cruel, he would have to find someone to hold responsible, and he would probably be in trouble too.
He was extremely nervous at this moment. He wanted to ask Chu Lingyun about the details, but he didn't dare to ask too much, for fear of increasing suspicion against him.
"Team Leader Zhu, two of you asked for leave today. Why did they ask for leave and where did they go?"
Chu Lingyun first asked about the two people who were not there. These two people seemed to have nothing to do with what happened today, but they were not in the station, resulting in Liu Cheng being the only one in the office. After Zhao Baishan received a call from home, he was the only one left to go and call for help.
Chu Lingyun would not miss any details and would ask clearly.
"The ones who asked for leave are Raymond and Ma Renyi. Raymond was in a car accident yesterday and can't come today. Ma Renyi's wife is about to give birth, so he has already asked for several days off."
Zhu Zhiqing answered hurriedly, and Chu Lingyun's eyebrows jumped. It was another car accident. Zhao Baishan's child was hit today, and Lei Yi had a car accident yesterday. It was too coincidental.
As for Ma Renyi, there seems to be nothing unusual. He has taken leave for more than one day and has not been here for the past few days.
"Team Leader Zhu, where were you when the accident happened?"
As the chief officer of the interrogation team, Zhu Zhiqing does not have to do any work on a regular basis, and he does not have a separate office. Normally, he should be in the office.
Zhu Zhiqing said awkwardly, "I went out to visit some friends. There wasn't much work to do today, so I went to have tea with Team Leader Shen."
The third update is completed today. Finally, I would like to ask for some recommendation votes for support. Thank you friends.
