The man in the advertisement, Zhang Shaoyu, was called to the police station again.

In the interrogation room, Zhang Shaoyu asked with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Sir, I have already come to record a confession this morning, why are you calling me here again?"

"Mr. Zhang, we now suspect that you are related to Zheng Jiazhen's death, so we have invited you here again to assist the police in the investigation." He Jiahui said.

Zhang Shaoyu immediately defended: "I have told you that I am not familiar with Zheng Jiazhen. And the night she died, I stayed at home and did not go out all night! How could I be the murderer of Zheng Jiazhen? Didn't you go to my house?

Have you asked?"

"We went to your house and asked your mother and your sister, and they did say that you didn't leave home all night." He Jiahui nodded.

"Then are there any other problems?" Zhang Shaoyu frowned and then asked: "Don't you think that my mother and my sister lied and gave false confessions?"

He Jiahui said: "We invited you here this time because we found a new witness. He saw you leaving your home in the early morning."

Hearing that there was an eyewitness, the panic in Zhang Shaoyu's eyes flashed, but in an instant, he calmed down and said, "I haven't been out since early morning. The eyewitness is either lying or misunderstood."

Already."

"Really?" He Jiahui smiled coldly and continued, "According to the witness's account, he saw you leaving home at about 2:10 in the morning, and did not return until about 4:30 in the morning."

This time, Zhang Shaoyu did not speak, but lowered his head slightly. His hands also looked like they didn't know where to put them. It was obvious that he was really panicked.

Because He Jiahui mentioned the exact time, which was exactly the time when Zhang Shaoyu left home and returned home.

When he mentioned that there were witnesses, Zhang Shaoyu was still lucky, so he only panicked for a second and then regained his composure. He was betting that the police were deliberately trying to trick him, so he simply refused to admit it.

When He Jiahui told the exact time, Zhang Shaoyu already realized that this witness really saw him leaving home and returning home.

He Jiahui did not give Zhang Shaoyu time to think. He immediately asked: "Mr. Zhang, please answer me, from 2:10 to 4:30 in the morning, where were you? What were you doing? Is there anyone who can prove it?"

Several questions in a row made Zhang Shaoyu a little confused, and he didn't know how to answer them for a while.

And this is exactly Ho Jiahui's interrogation technique. He first disrupts the other party's thinking, takes the initiative in the conversation, and then guides the other party to answer questions.

"Mr. Zhang, first tell me where you were at that time?" He Jiahui asked.

"I was..." Zhang Shaoyu hesitated for a few seconds, and then said; "I was indeed not at home at the time. I was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk. Can't I? Is it illegal to go shopping at night?"

"Does anyone have proof that you were shopping at that time?" He Jiahui asked with a smile.

"Sir, as you said, it's two o'clock in the morning, and there's no one on the road." Zhang Shaoyu continued, "And even if I'm not at home, you can't say that I killed Zheng Jiazhen!"

He Jiahui immediately said: "Mr. Zhang, according to our investigation, the murderer committed the crime in the early morning, which is similar to the time when you went out. So you are the most suspected of committing the crime!"

"Just because I went out in the early morning, do you think I am suspect? You are too unreasonable! There are more than 20,000 people living on the island. I don't believe that I am the only one who goes out in the early morning! According to you, if I go out in the early morning, I

It is suspected that other people also went out in the early morning, and they may also be the murderers of Zheng Jiazhen!" Zhang Shaoyu defended.

Ho Jiahui immediately said: "The deceased was murdered in the early morning. Do you think a single woman would open the door to a stranger at two o'clock in the morning in the dead of night?

Even in a familiar home, I don’t think this woman would open the door to a stranger. What’s more, she lives in a B&B on an outlying island in an unfamiliar place! So the murderer can only be someone she knows.”

"I'm not the only one who knows Zheng Jiazhen. Director Xue Chaohui, cameraman Cai Mulin, and assistant Chen Weiting all know Zheng Jiazhen!" Zhang Shaoyu continued to defend.

"But they all have alibi, but you are the only one who doesn't have one!" He Jiahui snorted coldly.

"I..." Zhang Shaoyu was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and said stubbornly: "Anyway, I didn't kill Zheng Jiazhen!"

He Jiahui narrowed his eyes slightly, and his intuition told him that Zhang Shaoyu didn't act like the real murderer, but he couldn't rely on intuition when handling the case, he had to rely on evidence.

From the perspective of motive analysis, Zhang Shaoyu was a new model who had only been in the industry for half a year, and it was his first time working with the deceased. The two could only be regarded as just acquaintances, and it was unlikely that they had any deep hatred. Indeed, no motive for the murder could be found.

"If Zhang Shaoyu is not the murderer, he should be eliminated as a suspect as soon as possible. Otherwise, dragging the case here is a complete waste of time, and it is possible for the real murderer to escape."

Thinking of this, He Jiahui said: "Mr. Zhang, at this stage you are only assisting the police in handling the case, not a suspect in the case. At this stage, you'd better say everything you need to say clearly, which is in your best interest.

If you have something to hide, or something that is inconvenient to disclose to the outside world, I suggest you tell it. We are the police, and according to police regulations, we will keep the privacy of witnesses confidential."

After hearing these words, Zhang Shaoyu's eyes showed some excitement, but he still did not speak.

He Jiahui saw that this move was promising, so he continued to persuade: "Mr. Zhang, murder is a felony and you will be sentenced to life imprisonment. What's more, this is a murder case of a female model. Gossip magazines love to hype this kind of news.

In this kind of case, even if you are not the murderer, as long as you become a suspect, gossip magazines will make up dozens of outrageous stories for you. I can be sure that nine out of ten of these stories will be negative.

You are a model and want to be an actor in the future. If you are regarded as a suspect in a murder case, coupled with all kinds of negative news in gossip magazines, do you think you will still have a future? Which brand would hire a murderer to shoot an advertisement?

So Mr. Zhang, I hope you can think carefully and tell the truth for the sake of your own future, your own ideals, and your own future."

He Jiahui said and stood up: "I'll make you a cup of coffee. You can think about it slowly."

After a while, He Jiahui walked into the interrogation room again with a cup of coffee. He did not speak, but handed the coffee to Zhang Shaoyu, then sat quietly opposite and read a magazine.

The interrogation room suddenly became quiet, but for Zhang Shaoyu, this quietness was torturous, giving him a feeling of suffocation.

He Jiahui's words to persuade him were like alarm bells, constantly ringing in his ears, making him feel entangled in his heart. He wanted to continue to be silent, but when he thought of his future, he wanted to put everything aside

frank.

As time passed by, Zhang Shaoyu finally couldn't hold it any longer. He took a deep breath and asked, "Sir, if I tell you, will you really keep it a secret for me?"

"Of course, we are the police and must abide by police regulations. It is our duty to protect the privacy of witnesses." He Jiahui said immediately.

"Okay, I'll say it." Zhang Shaoyu finally decided to speak.

He Jiahui smiled slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Young people like Zhang Shaoyu would conceal something from the police or even shield criminals out of impulse. In their eyes, this may be a sign of loyalty.

But as long as you explain the stakes, let them calm down, and give them some time to think, most likely they will relent. After all, loyalty cannot be eaten or worn, so how can your own vital interests be important?

Just listen to Zhang Shaoyu say: "At around two o'clock in the morning, I did leave the house secretly. My parents and my sister were asleep at the time. They didn't know. They thought I had been sleeping at home.

The reason why I sneaked out in the middle of the night was to meet my first love. We stayed until about four o'clock in the morning, and we separated only when it was almost dawn.

We had been in love for many years before, but because of family opposition, we were not together. Originally, I planned to break up with him and stop contacting him, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't forget him."

He Jiahui frowned slightly. Meeting his first love was not a shady matter. There was no need to sneak out in the middle of the night. Unless the two were having an affair, there were moral issues, so they could only meet secretly in the early morning.

See.

Thinking of this, He Jiahui asked: "Mr. Zhang, is your first love married?"

"Yes, he is married and has a newborn child. It was because I learned that he was going to get married that I left Cheung Chau Island and went to make a living outside the island." Zhang Shaoyu said with a lonely look.

"No wonder! This makes sense." He Jiahui nodded, and then asked: "Then your first love can prove where you were between two and four in the morning?"

Zhang Shaoyu nodded.

He Jiahui continued: "Mr. Zhang, please provide us with your first love's name, address and contact information. We need to check with her."

"Sir, when you go to him to verify the situation, can you avoid his family? He is already married and his family does not know about our affairs. I am worried that if his family finds out, it will have a bad impact on him.

." Zhang Shaoyu said.

"Don't worry, we will avoid her family." He Jiahui replied.

Zhang Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "His name is Xie Jinshan, and he is a teacher at Sacred Heart School."

"Xie Jinshan? Why does this name sound like a man?" He Jiahui was a little confused, so he asked, "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, let me interrupt you. Your first love has a more distinctive name. May I ask his name?"

What’s the gender?”

"He is a man." Zhang Shaoyu did not hide it.

"What a big melon!" He Jiahui instantly felt like a melon-eating crowd was enjoying themselves.

At this moment, all the doubts in He Jiahui's heart were solved, and everything became reasonable.

After all, Xiangjiang is a developed area and opened up relatively early. Even on the outlying islands, it is no longer an era where parents ordered matchmakers. Young people are free to marry.

This reason for family opposition was possible thirty years ago, but it is almost impossible today.

Therefore, He Jiahui felt very puzzled as to why family opposition would make a pair of lovers give up on each other.

But if both parties are of the same gender, it is understandable that the family would object. Moreover, places like outlying islands are relatively closed to the outside, and people tend to see each other without looking up, and they are more concerned about worldly views.

Before, Zhang Shaoyu refused to tell the truth about going out to meet his first love because he wanted to protect him. After all, he already had a family and a stable job. If the matter was leaked, his family and career would be ruined.

Looking at Zhang Shaoyu's handsome appearance, He Jiahui let out a long sigh and thought to himself: "There is a saying that people are handsome and handsome. The ancients will never deceive me!"

…

In the evening, He Jiahui came to Xie Jinshan's home.

After knocking on the door, a sturdy man opened the door and appeared in front of He Jiahui.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" the man asked.

He Jiahui looked at the man and asked, "Is this Mr. Xie Jinshan from Holy Mountain School?"

"Yes, I am Xie Jinshan. Do you have any questions for me sirs?" Xie Jinshan asked.

"I have a few questions, and I would like to ask Xie Jinshan for confirmation." He Jiahui said, lowering his voice, and continued: "It's about Mr. Zhang Shaoyu."

When the name "Zhang Shaoyu" was mentioned, Xie Jinshan's expression suddenly changed.

At this time, a woman's voice sounded from inside: "Ah Shan, who is knocking on the door?"

I saw a young woman walking out. She was the hostess here. She had an apron tied around her waist and a spatula in her hand. She was obviously cooking.

Seeing his wife coming out, Xie Jinshan suddenly panicked.

He Jiahui said: "Madam, excuse me for disturbing you. We are here to promote the prevention of telecommunications fraud. There is a questionnaire form here for your husband to fill out."
