Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

"I've been handling cases for so many years and have come across many people like Hu Erliu. But to be honest, someone who is cooperative, ignorant, and emotionally stable like this is basically impossible to be the murderer!"

Guo Qian took the cigarette from Li Xiangnan, opened the window in the corridor, and when the cigarette was lit, he explained a few words briefly.

Li Xiangnan had seen Hu Erliu's condition in the interrogation room just now.

Guo Qian's idea coincided with his.

"What about the information? Did you get any information out of him?"

"Hu Erliu is a repairman in the prison. Apart from his normal prison work, he didn't tell us any details about the case!" Guo Qian shook his head.

Wen Xianping, standing nearby, also had a melancholy look on his face. He said, "Captain Guo and I agree that he's unlikely to be the murderer! He'll answer whatever you ask him, but it's mostly irrelevant to the case. If you ask him about anything else he doesn't know, he'll simply deny it and say he doesn't know."

Li Xiangnan was aware of this kind of "cooperation".

What kind of situation is it? You interrogate him, he answers all your questions, but all the answers are not what you want!

Are you saying he didn't cooperate?

No, he cooperated!

Do you think he is cunning?

No, he looked quite honest.

You say he's one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes? Is he playing double-cross?

No, in fact, everything he said can be verified by other prison guards and people in the same position.

This is the most troublesome thing!

Hu Erliu's confession was almost flawless, which made a veteran criminal policeman and a veteran disciplinary committee member who participated in the interrogation helpless.

Sitting in the corridor, Li Xiangnan read the entire transcript and his first impression was that Hu Erliu was an honest, dutiful and rule-abiding person.

How could such a person kill someone?

How could he come up with such an incredible locked-room murder plan?

Whenever these transcripts of evidence were placed in front of Li Xiangnan, he would immediately deny the accusation that Hu Erliu was a suspect!

But is the answer wrong?

Did they arrest the wrong person?

Or is the direction of the investigation wrong?

Is there a loophole in the whole reasoning?

Arriving at the interrogation room next door, Li Xiangnan sat at his desk with his back to the glass observation window, holding a pen, and checked his reasoning process again.

Then, by comparing it with Hu Erliu's confession, we can infer every day starting from the 18th.

Seeing that he was thinking, several people tactfully left the observation room, smoked in the corridor, and discussed in low voices.

"Liberal Arts, Fee College, are there any details we haven't noticed?"

Guo Qian pondered.

After visiting and investigating these few days, he has gained more trust in the two-person team.

The comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Procuratorate had never been to the solitary confinement cell at all. Some of them didn't even know that it existed. There was no question of poisoning Shen Yujing, so they removed her from the list of suspects.

In other words, now only the prison side, and the internal personnel are the major suspects.

Wen Xianping and Fei Yiqing looked at each other and both shook their heads.

During the investigation over the past few days, the three of them shared information with each other and were under a lot of pressure. Everything they could think of was shared with each other at the first opportunity.

There really is nothing that is possible that has not been thought of yet.

The three of them were silent and soon fell into their own thoughts.

"I want to see him in person!"

After a while, Li Xiangnan walked out of the observation room and the three people immediately stood up.

"Alright!" Guo Qian exchanged glances with Wen Xianping and Fei Yiqing, and nodded immediately. "Your investigations are unconventional, so compared to us, you're a blank slate. Maybe we can make a breakthrough!"

Two minutes later, Li Xiangnan walked into the interrogation room alone, holding a cup, while Guo Qian and his two companions, Wang Defa and Song Zimo watched in the observation room.

Hu Erliu was sitting on an iron chair. When he heard the noise at the door, he looked up and suddenly saw a young man walking in with a teacup in his hand. There was a moment of doubt in his eyes.

Li Xiangnan met his gaze with no expression on his face. He simply pulled the chair out from behind the interrogation table and placed it to the side. After sitting down, he put his feet directly on the table.

He exhaled carelessly, opened his water cup, took a sip of tea, and sipped it with satisfaction.

Li Xiangnan didn't look at Hu Erliu to see what his expression was. After taking a sip of tea, he seemed to find that his trouser legs were a little dirty. He quickly put down the teacup, pulled up his trouser legs, and rubbed them slowly.

He looked relaxed and comfortable, as if this was not an interrogation room but home.

"Hu Erliu, where do you live?"

"Ok?"

Li Xiangnan's sudden question froze Hu Erliu's face. He was a little confused about what he was thinking and replied subconsciously, "The courtyard house at No. 117 Zhima Hutong..."

"Oh, then you go back once a week?" Li Xiangnan retracted his foot and changed one.

"Yes... yes... not every week... just occasionally... sometimes."

Li Xiangnan then glanced at Hu Erliu and found that hesitation had appeared on his face.

In the observation room, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared on the faces of Guo Qian, Wen Xianping and Fei Yiqing.

Li Xiangnan's interrogation method was indeed peculiar and had no rules at all. It looked like he was just chatting, but they could see that he was using a roundabout strategy, slowly attacking the other party's psychological defenses.

"It's true. Although Consultant Li has no method when handling cases, it is this outstanding and unruly way of playing by the rules that is the most surprising!" Wen Xianping couldn't help but step forward, wanting to listen carefully to how Li Xiangnan dug out information from Hu Erliu.

Fei Yiqing, standing by, said helplessly, "We really do focus too much on rules. We've developed a habit of investigating cases one after another, and our inertial thinking is so strong that we only focus on the case itself! Consultant Li's move reminds me that starting with all kinds of information about the suspect and using those seemingly irrelevant small talk to make a breakthrough is also a unique method!"

At this moment, Hu Erliu in the room actually showed a trace of imperceptible nervousness on his face, which gave Guo Qianwenxianping and Fei Yiqing a sudden glimmer of hope.

Because Li Xiangnan suddenly asked some questions that Hu Erliu had never been asked before.

"I read in the transcript that for so many years, you've been sleeping in a dormitory with your fellow prisoners, and you rarely go home... So you've been living alone?"

"Yes, it is."

"Never married?"

A strange look suddenly crossed Hu Erliu's face. He lowered his head and said, "Married...married. My family member passed away a few years ago..."

"How did you die?"

Li Xiangnan suddenly asked this.

Hu Erliu's face suddenly became ugly, with strong anger between his brows, and his voice was louder than his previous answers.

"Government! What does this have to do with the case? My wife died a long time ago..."

"I'm just asking casually!" Li Xiangnan stared at him with narrowed eyes.

Hu Erliu felt guilty when he was stared at and unconsciously looked away.

"Then you have a son?" Li Xiangnan asked again.

"Hey? Look!"

In the observation room, Guo Qian suddenly pointed at Hu Erliu and excitedly reminded him, "There's a way! Look at his neck, the veins are bulging! Why is he so nervous?"

Everyone looked at him intently, and couldn't help but look at Li Xiangnan in great surprise, feeling extremely amazed.

"Government!" Hu Erliu's hands twisted around on the table, and he even pounded it lightly. "You asked me so many questions, and I answered them all. I told you everything I know. Can you please let me go? Haven't I cooperated enough with that case you're talking about?"

Li Xiangnan smiled slightly, took out the key to the iron bench from the drawer, walked to Hu Erliu, and opened the lock with a snap.

He stood aside and said with a smile: "Of course I can let you go back!"

"..."

Li Xiangnan's direct and decisive attitude made Hu Erliu stunned. He moved his body in surprise and even moved hesitantly in his chair. He looked at Li Xiangnan with some fear, and when he found that he had no expression, he tentatively stood up.

Hu Erliu stood up, but didn't dare to leave.

"The government...I, I'm leaving?"

"Let's go!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand.

Hu Erliu looked back at the smiling Li Xiangnan, walked to the door nervously and slowly, and after he was out of the door, he ran downstairs quickly.

After the footsteps faded away, Li Xiangnan waved towards the observation room and walked out.

"Brother Nan!" Song Zimo understood and ran over.

"Go follow him! Don't get caught!"

"I know!" Song Zimo smiled shrewdly, turned around, and rushed out.

"Advisor Li, you've completely confused me!" Guo Qian came over, still looking into the corridor, seemingly still dazed by the fact that he had let the man escape. "Why did you just let him go like that?"

"I'll explain this later!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand. "Captain Guo, Liberal Arts Department, and Dean Fei, let's go to the solitary confinement building!"

The three of them were shocked and subconsciously asked in surprise: "Why are you going there?"

"I have details to check!"

Li Xiangnan also walked downstairs quickly.

Guo Qian and the other two looked at each other and suddenly frowned.

They had a hunch that Li Xiangnan must have found some information from Hu Erliu's confession, so they quickly followed him...
