Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Chapter 217 Meng Yi wants to make friends
  "It's too late to welcome our distinguished guest. Captain Chen, please take a seat." The man turned his head slightly and said with a chuckle.

What I was looking at just now was the side face, but now I was looking at the front face. I couldn't describe him as "handsome", I had to use "demon". At this moment, Chen Yi began to doubt the other person's sexual orientation.

After staring at the man for a while, Chen Yi stepped forward and sat across from him.

Since becoming a criminal police officer, this is his first contact with people in the gray industry circle.

These people usually do not commit any serious crimes and have more interactions with the police station in their jurisdiction.

Those who know how to restrain themselves will never deal with the criminal investigation team of the branch or city bureau.

When it comes to the police station, it's just security at best, but when it comes to the criminal investigation team, it's much more serious.

"You guys go out first." The man waved his hand.

Song Yitao and the four bodyguards were obedient and without any questioning, they immediately closed the door and exited the room.

Prestige is high.

After the door closed, the man picked up the red wine bottle on the coffee table, and with a soft "bang" sound, he poured red wine for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi took a look and said: "You're welcome, you can't drink during work."

The man smiled and said: "It's just red wine. Try it. Of course, Mr. Chen is definitely much better than me in wine tasting. You can't compare."

From "Captain Chen" at the beginning to "Young Master Chen" now, this person knows a lot of things.

Chen Yi: "What do you call it?"

Man: "Meng Yi."

Chen Yi: "Mr. Meng knows me very well. Have you checked?"

The smile on Meng Yi's face was always warm: "The word "cha" is serious. I can only say that I understand it. In our line of work, every well-known public figure in Yangcheng must understand it."

Chen Yi: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle?"

Meng Yi smiled and said: "No, there is no victory or defeat without fighting. I need to prepare for the meeting in advance."

"Just like now, it was unlikely that Captain Chen and I would meet each other in our lifetime, but now we still meet."

"So, everything must be prepared in advance. It may be used someday. At least... it can prevent me from saying the wrong thing when chatting with Captain Chen."

His posture was up and down, neither humble nor arrogant, but he was also secretly looking up to Chen Yi.

It means, I'm not afraid of you, but I don't dare to offend you either.

Chen Yi took a deep look at him, leaned forward and picked up the red wine glass in front of him, shook it slightly and took a sip.

Meng Yi: "Captain Chen, I wonder if I'm here to visit tonight. What advice do you have?"

Chen Yi stared at the red wine in the glass and said, "Investigate the case."

Meng Yi: "I wonder what the case is?"

Chen Yi: "Murder case."

Hearing these two words, Meng Yi didn't react much, but a look of confusion appeared on his face: "Homicide? It seems that no one in our Lizhi has died."

Chen Yi: "I'm not from Lizhi. My name is Yang Xiuming. Do you know Mr. Meng?"

Meng Yi: "I don't know. Since it's not from Lizhi, why is Captain Chen here?"

Chen Yi: "No one died in Lizhi, but the person who died was related to Lizhi."

Meng Yi: "Can Captain Chen be more clear?"

Chen Yi: "The deceased was Song Yitao's friend."

Hearing this, Meng Yi fell silent for a moment, nodded and said: "I understand, Captain Chen, please rest assured that we will fully cooperate and will never cause any trouble to the criminal investigation detachment."

Chen Yi raised his eyes: "It's already causing trouble."

Meng Yi's smile faded: "What does Captain Chen mean by this?"

Chen Yi: "Besides the murder case, I found something else in your Lizhi."

Meng Yi: "What?"

Chen Yi stared at him: "Mr. Meng, doesn't he know it himself?"

Meng Yi shook his head: "I don't know. If our Lizhi commits any illegal or criminal acts, please let Captain Chen make it clear. I will absolutely cooperate with the investigation unconditionally."

Chen Yi caught Meng Yi's every change of expression and said: "Involved in pornography."

"Involved in pornography?" Meng Yi smiled helplessly, "Captain Chen said this to make things difficult for me?"

He knows very well in this business that as long as you want to check, every nightclub in Quanyang City will probably find some problems. No matter how clean it is, you can always find a reason to close it for rectification.

Chen Yi chuckled: "Of course not, I'm a policeman."

Meng Yi was a little unsure of what the other party wanted to do. He was much smarter than Song Yitao. It was normal for homicide cases to investigate the interpersonal relationship of the deceased, but he didn't know why he was involved.

Is it just because a friend of the deceased worked at Lizhi?

I always feel like there's something else going on here.

"Captain Chen, can you make a friend?" Meng Yi asked.

Chen Yi said nothing and looked at him.

Meng Yi continued: "Captain Chen, don't get me wrong, I'm just making friends. I know that Captain Chen is not short of money, so I won't ask for trouble."

Chen Yi still didn't speak.

Meng Yi: "I'm just a businessman. I just want to protect my one-third of an acre of land. To be honest with Captain Chen, I, Meng Yi, have been around since I was sixteen years old. After so many years, I now have dozens of businesses in Yangcheng. Industry, Landis is just one of them.”

Chen Yi: "What does Mr. Meng want to express?"

Meng Yi smiled and said: "Of course, my family background is incomparable to that of the Chen Group. What I want to express is the intelligence network."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows.

Seeing that Chen Yi was interested, Meng Yi kept talking: "The businesses under my name include not only places like Lizhi, but also bars, Internet cafes, karaoke bars, etc., covering almost all entertainment industries. Captain Chen should understand what I mean. , it will definitely help.”

Chen Yi was silent for a while and said, "Mr. Meng is really a character."

The other party knew that he lacked everything, so he turned the bargaining chip for making friends into intelligence.

To be honest, people like Meng Yi can definitely find out a lot more things than the police.

Because not everyone will tell the truth to the police, especially those who are hostile to the police.

Relatively speaking, Huo Gaoyang actually needs friends like Meng Yi more, but he doesn't care.

Meng Yi: "Captain Chen, that's a compliment. It's really just about making friends. If I have to say there is a purpose, it is that I don't want to become a street rat inexplicably in the future."

Chen Yi nodded: "It's a long way to go, but I'm not interested."

As a police officer, making friends with people like Meng Yi is almost like playing with fire.

Meng Yi: "Captain Chen, please rest assured. Although I am on the sidelines of the industry, I definitely have a bottom line. I will not harm anyone's interests, let alone commit crimes."

Chen Yi: "Are you sure?"

Meng Yi: "Of course, if you don't believe it, Captain Chen can check it, but do you dare to take a gamble?"

Chen Yi smiled: "I only bet with my friends."

The last person to be so confident was Jiang Fanlei, who later bought himself a car worth more than [-] yuan.

Meng Yi: "Just bet your friends. If Captain Chen loses, consider what I just said. If I lose, Lizhi will be given to you."

At this point in the conversation, Chen Yi probably knew what he was talking about. He did not answer Meng Yi's words, but asked: "What is Song Yitao's status in Lizhi?"

Meng Yi replied: "Manager, you have been working here for many years, and you got into it once because of a fight."

Chen Yi: "Do you earn much?"

Meng Yi: "With commission, you can still get tens of thousands a month when business is good." Chen Yi nodded: "Okay, excuse me, I'll leave if there's nothing else to do."

After speaking, he stood up.

Meng Yi also stood up: "Captain Chen, are you so disrespectful? I really want to make friends with Captain Chen."

He didn't want to miss the opportunity presented to him. Chen Yi's status in Yangcheng would never be lowered in the future.

Chen Yi smiled: "Let's talk about this issue again after Mr. Meng has dealt with the mess and is able to escape unscathed."

Meng Yi frowned: "What kind of mess?"

Chen Yi didn't answer, opened the door and left.

Watching Chen Yi leave, Meng Yi stood there and took out his cigarette case, took out one and lit it.

At the door, Song Yitao and four bodyguards walked in. The former said: "Brother Meng, this person's surname is Chen..."

"To shut up!"

Meng Yi shouted coldly and turned to stare at Song Yitao.

Recalling the conversation with Chen Yi just now, he felt that the problem should come from Song Yitao.

Did this kid do something secretly behind his back?

"A Tao, does Yang Xiuming's death have anything to do with you? Tell me the truth!" Meng Yi asked.

Song Yitao was very honest in front of Meng Yi, and said with an innocent face: "Brother Meng, I really don't know what's going on. Yang Xiuming is nothing. I usually don't bother to talk to him. Who knows how he died?" Maybe something happened when he hooked up with a woman, so let the cuckold be killed.”

Meng Yi stared at him for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Keep an eye on him. He is not allowed to use mobile phones. If he dares to leave this room, his legs will be broken."

Song Yitao's expression changed. Why did he get involved? What did the man named Chen say to the other party?
  The four bodyguards nodded and approached Song Yitao, while Meng Yi left quickly.

On the other side, Chen Yi returned to the private dining room on the first floor and did not answer the question of when the new store would be opened. After paying the bill, he left Leichi with a few people.

If Yang Xiuming only had his throat cut, he would suspect that the other party's death was related to Song Yitao, but the missing eye and the scars on his face and chest are really puzzling and unnecessary.

It's still a bit far-fetched to explain it with the murderer's personal quirks.

Moreover, Song Yitao's reaction was very normal.

The four of them returned to the car, and Huo Gaoyang was also there.

"How is it?" Huo Gaoyang asked impatiently.

Chen Yi said: "There is a problem. There is a man named Song Yitao there. He should be related to drugs. I met the boss of Lizhi. He is a figure. In my opinion, there is a high probability that he does not know about it."

"This case is a private work done by a subordinate without telling the boss. The source is not here."

Huo Gaoyang was doubtful: "How sure are you?"

Chen Yi: "If I were to investigate, I would definitely go in this direction."

"Lizhi's boss is called Meng Yi. I had a few chats with him. He is not a person who would take risks for profit. Of course, this is just my personal judgment and you need to understand more deeply."

"What is certain is that Song Yitao has a problem."

"Also, if this Meng Yi was smart, he would probably have Song Yitao under control by now."

Huo Gaoyang was a little surprised: "You... what did you talk to him about? Why do you sound so mysterious to me?"

Chen Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm just going to investigate the murder case, I won't alert others."

Huo Gaoyang thought for a while and said, "Then do you think we should go in tonight?"

Chen Yi: "You can wait a day."

Huo Gaoyang: "What are you waiting for?"

Chen Yi: "Wait until Meng Yi calls the police. If there is no movement, it won't be too late for you to investigate again."

Huo Gaoyang thought for a long time and nodded: "Okay, I listen to you. Let's keep an eye on it all night tonight. By the way, how was the murder investigation?"

Chen Yi: "It should have nothing to do with Lizhi. I'm going to change the direction and let the forensic doctor test whether Yang Xiuming has taken drugs tomorrow. If not, I won't investigate Lizhi for the time being. If you find clues related to the murder case, don't Forgot to tell me."

Huo Gaoyang: "Okay."

The four left.

The next morning, Fang Shuyu's test results came out. Yang Xiuming had not taken drugs in half a year.

The accuracy of hair detection is still very high. As long as the person being tested has taken drugs within six months, it can definitely be detected.

The investigation into Yang Xiuming's bank card transactions has also yielded results. There is no suspicious payment, it is all paid in by his parents.

In this case, one possibility can be ruled out.

A recently graduated college student went to visit a prostitute after drinking with his dormitory roommate. After leaving, his throat was cut with a knife and his eyes were gouged out, leaving strange scratches on his face and chest.

This case is very strange.

Random killings aside, vendettas should still be prioritized for now.

Yang Xiuming's experience is "rich and colorful", and the possibility of enmity with others is not small.

Zhuo Yun has already taken people to investigate all the residents near the crime scene, hoping to gain something.

Based on the possibility that the murderer had remained at the scene of the crime, He Xin began to conduct further investigation and surveillance, and the forensic room also began a second autopsy.

It was just the day after the case occurred, so important points needed to be reviewed again to prevent any omissions.

Forensic room.

Chen Yi is here.

Fang Shuyu took a magnifying glass and tweezers and repeatedly inspected the deceased's fingernails, and finally determined that there was no excess residue.

There is no biological tissue, no clothing fibers.

At this moment, Chen Yi was observing the fatal wound on the deceased's neck and said, "Shu Yu, judging from the arc of the incision, the murderer should be about the same height as the deceased, right?"

Fang Shuyu said: "Under normal circumstances, it should be about the same height."

As Chen Yi thought about it, he waved his arms and simulated the murderer's movements. He felt more and more that this person was really not simple.

I don’t know if his skills are good or not, but he must have practiced the throat-slitting movement.

Who did Yang Xiuming offend to be retaliated like this?

If you fight in high school or spend money to find women in college, who can you offend?

Did he still hold a grudge against his high school enemy, or did he die because of the woman he met in college?

woman?

Chen Yi thought of the size [-] shoes. Across the country, there are definitely women with smaller stature who can wear size [-] shoes, but...

The height was wrong again. The deceased was nearly [-] meters tall. If he could cut his throat face to face and there was no upward or downward arc, he should be about the same height.

unless……

Thinking of a possibility, Chen Yi turned around and went to the deceased's knees and checked the leg sockets on both sides. There were no traces.

It doesn't take much force to kick someone's leg socket to cause a person to kneel down, and it's normal if there are no scars.

"What's wrong?" Fang Shuyu asked.

Chen Yi said: "There were many footprints at the scene. After analysis by the technical department, the footprints most likely to be left by the murderer came from a pair of size [-] shoes."

Fang Shuyu was surprised: "So young? Is it wrong?"

Chen Yi: "Around [-] meters, women are most likely to be taller."
