Chapter 1064: Sudden Interrogation

"I... I don't know what you're talking about." Wang Xiang repeated his previous words. This is a very common situation when suspects are interrogated. Because he was still in a state of shock, he actually hadn't been able to enter a rational state of weighing pros and cons, but he instinctively felt fear and wanted to escape, so he could only say some useless nonsense.

Liu Jinghui wasn't in a hurry. He squatted down, lifted Wang Xiang's chin, and said in an extremely slow tone: "You can't escape. Think about it, this is the crime scene, and you were hiding under the floor, in such a hidden sewer, for several days. Can you explain this? You can't explain it, and we have witness testimony."

He was still lying. If it were someone who knew the ropes, or if a lawyer came, they could muddle through this topic in two or three sentences. But Wang Xiang didn't have this condition at this time, nor would he have it.

Most importantly, Liu Jinghui actually just opened a door. With this foundation, Wang Xiang himself could think of various pieces of information connecting himself to the crime.

Of course, what he thought was definitely different from what the police thought, but the results were mostly the same.

"I... I want a lawyer, I want to see a lawyer." Wang Xiang raised his head, his IQ finally starting to return.

Liu Jinghui shook his head and said: "We aren't filming an American drama. Let me put it this way: because you are involved in a homicide and there is solid evidence, you can only see a lawyer after you confess honestly and the police interrogation is over."

A criminal police officer on the side said coldly: "It's useless to see one. Just say whether you killed someone or not, and that's it."

"I didn't kill anyone!" Wang Xiang seemed to have been encouraged and answered decisively.

Liu Jinghui also minored in psychology and saw the problem at a glance, immediately following up: "Who killed the person?"

"It... it was..." Wang Xiang's expression flickered, and he didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Liu Jinghui suddenly stood up and said: "Interrogate Wang Yuxian, tell him this is the last chance."

Liu Jinghui said this, but he was looking at Wang Xiang's eyes.

Wang Xiang understood instantly.

By the time the conversation between the two reached this point, although Wang Xiang's fear hadn't decreased much, his IQ had slowly come online.

And it was this little bit of remaining IQ that made Wang Xiang realize that the outcome of his insisting on silence or continuing to resist would likely only benefit Wang Yuxian.

All premeditated killers actually have a kind of "honey confidence" when they kill, feeling that they can definitely avoid police investigation. Regardless of whether this confidence is reasonable, and regardless of how stupid the premeditation of many premeditated killers is, their thinking mode is just like this. If not, they wouldn't choose to use murder to solve problems.

On the other hand, if they weren't confident that they could get rid of suspicion, the killer either wouldn't execute the murder plan, or most would choose impulsive murder.

People's awareness of prevention is relatively weak now. Many controllers of large enterprises don't necessarily have bodyguards around them. If they had no scruples, the people they offended and the personnel with negative interests would definitely not be few.

Wang Xiang naturally didn't want to die.

If he could die resolutely, why would he hide in this smelly sewer for several days?

He was only 23 years old, 1.8 meters tall, had abs, and was handsome. He was in a state where he didn't need to spend money to find young ladies at bars. At this very moment, if you asked Wang Xiang if he had any regrets, he definitely did. But even with Wang Xiang's IQ, he knew he didn't have time to regret.

"I am a victim. Wang Yuxian killed the person, I was unaware." Wang Xiang felt he had to say something, otherwise, he couldn't explain why he was here and why he was hiding in the sewer, and he was worried that Wang Yuxian would dump the blame on him.

And for Liu Jinghui and the others, as long as Wang Xiang opened his mouth, it was enough.

On the surface, Liu Jinghui's expression remained unchanged, and he asked: "Why do you say you are a victim?"

"I... I really am a victim, but I saw Wang Yuxian kill someone. I can be a witness, a state's witness!" Wang Xiang said hurriedly.

Liu Jinghui curled his lips. There was no such thing as a "state's witness" in the country. There was only "atoning for crimes by rendering meritorious service." The difference was probably that a state's witness could be exempted from punishment to a certain extent, or the severity of the punishment could be significantly reduced, while atoning for crimes by rendering meritorious service was at most a 20% discount, similar to a membership price.

So, Liu Jinghui didn't refute Wang Xiang's willingness to be a "state's witness."

Liu Jinghui only asked faintly: "Then tell me, how did Wang Yuxian kill the person."

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably ask Wang Xiang why he could see Wang Yuxian kill someone, and why he appeared at the crime scene. But as a police officer, determining the details of the murder was the most important thing.

Asking the first two details, even if successful, would only increase Wang Xiang's suspicion and lock Wang Xiang as a non-direct killer. But asking for details could not only determine the authenticity of Wang Xiang's testimony but also lock Wang Yuxian as the direct killer. Furthermore, asking Wang Xiang for the details of Wang Yuxian's murder could also lower Wang Xiang's vigilance. As for Wang Xiang's actual degree of participation, if he wasn't willing to confess now, they could just ask Wang Yuxian later.

The criminal police officers carrying cameras at the scene had also long since buckled the machines in their hands and recorded silently.

And Wang Xiang had already decided to "let the friend die rather than the priest." Without too much hesitation, he said: "Wang Yuxian is a prop master. He knows how to mix drugs. That day, he got some knockout drops and drugged Li Aiyuan. He said he wanted to 'do' her at the time, so I went to the next room. As a result, when I turned back, he had strangled the person to death, saying that Li Aiyuan woke up halfway, and he was afraid for a moment, so he strangled her by mistake. At that time, the person was already dead, and I had no way, so I could only hide."

His words sounded a bit funny to a group of police officers. The "Spring and Autumn brushwork" (euphemism) was too serious, and the level of embellishment was poor. It could be said to be full of loopholes.

Liu Jinghui wasn't in a hurry, first asking: "What kind of drug is knockout drops? How did you drug her?"

"Just like in the movies, spray a little on a mask or something, cover her mouth, and she's out," Wang Xiang said quickly.

Jiang Yuan asked at this time: "You said Wang Yuxian wanted to 'do' her, did he do it?"

"Should... should not have had time yet. Maybe the drug wasn't enough. When he called me, his pants were still on." Wang Xiang's speaking speed was significantly slower this time.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and deliberately bluffed: "So, the one having sex with Li Aiyuan was you? Was it rape?"

"No, not rape." Wang Xiang hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said: "I was dating her."

"Dating, and you let Wang Yuxian 'do' Li Aiyuan?" Liu Jinghui deliberately showed an expression of disbelief.

Wang Xiang's speaking speed was even slower, saying: "He often helped me, and this time he made this request, and I couldn't refuse. We were originally just playing around, not dating seriously. He said we'd do it first, and after we were done, he would do the drugging and rape, because Li Aiyuan had already done it with me, and it wouldn't be discovered afterward. He just said that once she was drugged, that was it."

"You covered her mouth, could she not know?"

"He said that drug makes you have amnesia afterward, similar to date-rape drugs." Wang Xiang became smoother as he spoke.

At this time, Jiang Yuan and Liu Jinghui exchanged glances and said: "But the process of killing wasn't strangulation as you said, but Wang Yuxian standing behind Li Aiyuan, covering Li Aiyuan's mouth, and suffocating her to death. At that time, were you standing opposite Li Aiyuan?"

Wang Xiang was stunned, and then, huge fear gripped him.

He hoped to avoid punishment, even if he couldn't avoid it all, he hoped to avoid a large part. But Jiang Yuan's words, even if Wang Xiang didn't understand the law well, suddenly made him realize that he was becoming an accomplice to murder. The most critical thing was, how did this tall police officer know the positioning of the people when the murder happened?

With Wang Xiang's cognitive level, he couldn't understand the technical boundaries of forensic science.

Wang Xiang inevitably thought of Wang Yuxian.

"Is that what Wang Yuxian said?" Wang Xiang asked.

"Confess your own problems." Liu Jinghui's tone became slightly more severe: "Think about it, if you lie, don't even think about being a state's witness."

Wang Chuanxing couldn't help but look sideways. Are they lying so openly?

Wang Xiang believed it, frowned twice, and said: "Yes, I was standing opposite Li Aiyuan at the time, but I didn't do anything. My thing was still inside her, I was enjoying it, Wang Yuxian covered her, I didn't want to at the time, but he had already made a move, what could I do!"

Even though the criminal police were well-informed, Wang Xiang's words still damaged everyone's worldview.

Liu Jinghui followed up: "This isn't the first time you've cooperated in doing this kind of thing, right?"

Wang Xiang didn't make a sound. After a while, he said: "Let's not mention the past."

"What is your relationship with Wang Yuxian?" Liu Jinghui didn't confront him and changed the question.

Wang Xiang said: "Just fellow villagers. He helped me a bit at the beginning and introduced me to some friends."

"Then, you started cooperating to 'get' women?" Liu Jinghui pulled the question back again.

"It's just... we used to just do it in bars. I find it easy to hook up with women, Wang Yuxian can't, so he picks up what I have left over." Wang Xiang didn't mention the benefit exchange.

Liu Jinghui hesitated. If he continued to ask for specific details at this time, he could convict Wang Yuxian of multiple rapes. Interrogating Wang Yuxian later would definitely be very helpful.

The problem was that this was a sudden interrogation at the scene. Neither the validity of the evidence nor the time and environment allowed for detailed questioning. Rape cases also need a lot of details to fill in, often requiring details such as what posture, how long, how many times, etc. When submitting for inspection, a file has to have a certain thickness.

But where was there so much regret at the scene? In an instant, Liu Jinghui made a decision and continued to follow the previous question: "What about Li Aiyuan? Such a beautiful big star, you were willing to share her with Wang Yuxian. What did he give you?"

Wang Xiang hesitated repeatedly, feeling that it was unreasonable, and then said: "He promised to find me a male lead role. Also, Li Aiyuan was introduced to me by him."

"Couldn't Li Aiyuan introduce you?"

"Li Aiyuan was just... just playing with me." Wang Xiang curled his lips when he said this and said: "She gave me money."

Liu Jinghui suddenly realized that this person was equivalent to a male model for a female star.

Turning his head, Liu Jinghui continued to ask: "He is a prop master, why can he find you a male lead?"

Wang Xiang: "He knows quite a few 'gold masters' (sponsors)."

"He brings gold masters together to date-rape female stars?" Liu Jinghui immediately inferred the interest chain hidden inside.

Wang Xiang lowered his head and said: "I don't know much about his business, I haven't participated much. This is the first time."

Liu Jinghui didn't believe it at all, but didn't delve into it. Instead, he fiercely threw out the big move he had prepared long ago: "You were having sex with Li Aiyuan standing up, Wang Yuxian covered Li Aiyuan's mouth from behind until she was suffocated to death, and you just watched?"

"I... I hadn't reacted yet."

"It takes quite a long time to suffocate someone to death."

Wang Xiang's answer gradually became smoother: "I was doing it at the time, and I was exhausted. Also, Wang Yuxian said that covering for a longer time has a better effect, because he was afraid she would have memories after waking up. I didn't think much at the time, how did I know Wang Yuxian would directly suffocate her to death? I was so scared I went soft!"

"In other words, you killed someone by accident?"

"I don't know about Wang Yuxian, I really didn't want to kill anyone, I am also a victim..."

Liu Jinghui interrupted Wang Xiang's crying and pointed to the vertical shaft in front and said: "If you killed someone by accident, why did you prepare a hiding place in advance?" ===== CHAPTER 1065 =====
