"What?"

"Really or fake?"

"Is the person who turned themselves in definitely Shu Jiaqing?" Following everyone's joyful and surprised expressions, Gu Changzheng asked calmly.

Wu Yan nodded affirmatively.

"Good, understood!" Gu Changzheng's heart was not as particularly excited as he imagined to catch the suspect! But this did not prevent him from coming to the reporting hall surrounded by everyone.

The crowd who arrived at the hall were stunned by the scene in front of them!

I saw four or five auxiliary police officers holding hands or hugging legs or forks, pressing a strong man to death!

Gu Changzheng couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly waved his hand: "That's it! Handcuff him first!"

June 22nd, 5:00 PM, inside the interrogation room of the Jiangdong Bureau, Shu Jiaqing, wearing handcuffs, curled up in the interrogation chair. He hunched his body, his head drooping, and his chin was about to stick to his chest.

Gu Changzheng pushed open the interrogation room door and walked in. Luo Fei, who was responsible for recording on the side, stood up and whispered: "Captain Gu."

Gu Changzheng nodded, signaled him to sit down, and after sitting in the chief interrogation seat, coughed lightly.

I saw Shu Jiaqing's shoulders on the opposite side tremble slightly, and the handcuffs made a slight sound. Gu Changzheng knew this was the subconscious desire of the prisoner to put his hands on his knees.

"Name?" Luo Fei began to interrogate Shu Jiaqing according to the procedure.

After asking a few basic questions, Gu Changzheng coughed again. Luo Fei knew that the boss was going to go up this time, and stopped speaking. Gu Changzheng said: "Shu San'er, how did you kill Ge Manli?"

Shu Jiaqing raised his head upon hearing this, his face full of panic: "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't even see her!"

"Still want to quibble! What? Do you think you can muddle through by turning yourself in and making up some lies? Without solid evidence, can we issue a wanted order?" Gu Changzheng shouted sternly!

Shu Jiaqing shrank his neck, seemingly frightened by Gu Changzheng's momentum, and his head drooped again. After Gu Changzheng finished speaking, he raised his head and said an inexplicable sentence: "If I had killed someone, I wouldn't have turned myself in."

Gu Changzheng stared at his eyes like an eagle, not letting go of any subtle expression of his.

Hearing such a sentence, Gu Changzheng narrowed his eyes and said: "June 21st, 3:40 PM, you disguised yourself as an industrial and trade appliance repairman and entered the complex where Ge Manli lived, Fenglin Garden, right?"

Shu Jiaqing nodded. Gu Changzheng continued: "At 4:15, the complex surveillance filmed you leaving Fenglin Garden again, fleeing west along Qingjiang Road. After passing the intersection with Mingjing Lane, you used the surveillance blind spot there, quickly changed your clothes, rode the electric scooter already prepared there, and left in another look to return to your rented house, right?"

Shu Jiaqing was startled upon hearing this! He said with flickering eyes: "Since you know everything, then you should know even more that that woman was not killed by me! I just wanted to take advantage of no one at home to steal some valuable things. Who would have thought that I would encounter this unlucky thing!"

"Hmph! We not only mastered your whereabouts that day, but the things you left at the victim's place have also been cleared up by us! You are also a person who knows the policy. Since you can realize your crime and turn yourself in, why do you still want to hide the truth!"

Shu Jiaqing wanted to sit up straight with a "Whoosh", and the sudden movement pulled the shackles on his body to jingle! "The government cannot wrong me! I am just a thief, I don't even dare to rob, where would I dare to kill! Please, you cannot wrong me for killing! I say, I confess!"

Gu Changzheng leaned back, took an "Old Baitiao" from the cigarette case, and signaled Luo Fei to give it to Shu Jiaqing.

He was also inclined to believe that the murderer was not Shu Jiaqing, because in his view, people with Shu Jiaqing's cognitive background couldn't do that kind of work, or he couldn't think so carefully. Ge Manli's crime scene was not something Shu Jiaqing could arrange.

Moreover, his sentence "If I had killed someone, I wouldn't have turned myself in." was, in his view, Shu Jiaqing's heartfelt words. If this kind of small thief really killed someone, the first thing would be to escape as far as possible! With his psychological quality, he would not dare to stay at the scene of the incident and play wits with the police. The reason he thought the police would not find him was that he thought he didn't leave any traces, but he didn't expect the police to find him so quickly.

Seeing that he was willing to confess, Gu Changzheng gave him a cigarette as a reward, which was also to imply to him psychologically that as long as he cooperated, there would be benefits!

Let's talk about Shu Jiaqing. After taking a puff of the cigarette, he stabilized his emotions and began to confess what happened at Ge Manli's house on the afternoon of the 21st.

"I knew this couple a long time ago, knew they were rich, and wanted to find an opportunity to get a handle. After figuring out where they lived and their work and rest patterns, I prepared to find a daytime when no one was at home to take action. On the morning of the 21st, I learned that the man in their house had gone on a long trip and wouldn't be back for a while, so I decided to take action that day."

"How did you know Ren Jiahe went on a business trip on the 21st?" Gu Changzheng asked suddenly.

"I squatted at the noodle shop opposite their complex for a few days in advance, because I found that the woman liked to eat breakfast there. On the morning of the 21st, I remember very clearly, she went to the noodle shop again. The noodle shop landlady saw she was alone and asked casually: Teacher Ge, why didn't Boss Ren accompany you today? The woman said her husband went to Yiling on a business trip, so I decided to take action that day."

"Continue!" Gu Changzheng said.

"I prepared to enter her house by prying the lock in the afternoon, because I found that the weather is hot now, and the security guards in the complex will hide in the guard post to blow air conditioning every afternoon, and will not patrol in the complex. The residents of the complex either hide at home or go to work, and there is basically no one in the complex at that time."

"I had already thought about disguising myself as an appliance repairman to get in, so I stole a work uniform from Industrial and Trade Appliances from elsewhere, and then got a canvas bag. I knew there was surveillance in the complex and on the street, but for this kind of petty theft, you wouldn't check it seriously. Besides, the surveillance couldn't film my face, so I dressed like this and entered that woman's house on the afternoon of the 21st."

"After entering, I thought no one was there, but then I found something wrong. Two white high heels were thrown on the living room floor. I recognized at a glance that it was what the woman wore this morning. Looking forward again, her dress was actually thrown at the bathroom door!"

"You remember these very clearly!" Luo Fei couldn't help but sneer. In fact, he found that with Shu Jiaqing knowing Ge Manli's daily clothing so clearly, how could he not know Ge Manli's name? But he always used "that woman" to replace Ge Manli's name when narrating, obviously deliberately avoiding it. Psychologically speaking, he was either too inferior in front of Ge Manli, or had deep hatred, but obviously, he was the former! This also explained why he would do that to Ge Manli's underwear. Besides her having a fetish, not daring to face Ge Manli was also an important factor!

Shu Jiaqing's face changed slightly, and he continued: "I stepped on the spot near her house for a few days, so naturally I noticed these."

Luo Fei smiled, and Gu Changzheng said: "Don't talk nonsense, continue!"

Shu Jiaqing lowered his head and said "Hey", and continued: "I found she was at home, so I wanted to leave quickly. You know, I'm just a thief, and it's absolutely impossible to take action if someone is at home. I was about to leave, about to leave..." Speaking of this, he suddenly paused.

"What, dare to do but not dare to say, what don't we know? Put your attitude straight!"

Gu Changzheng knew what he was hesitating about, and with a shout, Shu Jiaqing nodded repeatedly: "I say, I say!"

He swallowed his saliva: "I was originally going to leave, but I saw that woman's bra was also outside, I, I couldn't help it, so, so I did that to the clothes for a while..." The more he said, the lower his voice became, as if he was particularly embarrassed, but Luo Fei felt that he seemed very excited in his heart!

"Pervert!" Gu Changzheng scolded disdainfully: "What happened later? How long did that process take you?"

Gu Changzheng knew that according to the time inferred by the forensic doctor, this was exactly the time around Ge Manli's death!

"5 minutes, very fast, very fast!" Shu Jiaqing said tremblingly.

"Okay! What about later? You don't need to say that thing!" Gu Changzheng's roar made Shu Jiaqing feel like he was enlightened. He thought for a while and said: "After I finished, I was about to leave, when suddenly there was a thud inside! I was startled! Then I found that the master bedroom door next to the bathroom suddenly opened! Then it seemed like a black shadow flashed and disappeared!"
