Qi Lin never imagined that the child who turned himself in was actually a junior high school student.

He had expected to be a high school student, or slightly younger.But Chen Wen has just turned thirteen this year, and he is still in the first year of junior high school, sitting on the sofa in the conference room, not as tall as the rich bamboo beside him.

Chen Wen was still a minor. In order not to scare the children, the director deliberately placed Chen Wen in a separate conference room.

"A child?" Shi Le glanced in through the crack of the door, a little surprised, "Why did this child kill an adult? Couldn't it be a joke?"

Qi Lin was also puzzled.The cause of death of the deceased should be mechanical asphyxiation.

Can a kid who doesn't look like 14 strangle a grown man?Qi Lin felt that things were getting more and more dramatic.

After tidying up his appearance, he opened the door and walked into the meeting room.

His tone was quite gentle, "Little friend, do you know what it means to surrender?"

The boy who kept his head down raised his bright eyes, which dimmed in an instant as he answered.

"know."

"Then I want to ask you a few questions. You said you killed the deceased? How?"

"I..." Chen Wen's eyes drifted to one side unintentionally, and then quickly corrected it, "I was strangled to death with a rope."

Qi Lin hummed, and randomly scratched the notebook twice with a pen, "Do you know the deceased?"

"Have seen a few times."

"Oh?" Qi Lin leaned forward, "Do you know his identity?"

"He is the stepfather of my classmate Wang Zhi."

"My classmate's stepfather... what does that have to do with you?"

"He hit me." Chen Wen's eyes had a hint of gloom that shouldn't belong to his age. "He often hit Wang Zhi. I bumped into him once, and he hit me that time."

This is not a reason for Qi Lin to kill.But he didn't interrupt Chen Wen, but nodded, motioning Chen Wen to continue talking.

"And then I got so mad that I strangled him while he was asleep, like that."

Chen Wen made a gesture, treating the air as a rope.

Qi Lin didn't speak.He stood up the nib and poked out many black dots in the notebook one by one.

"time?"

"At 06:30 last night, I went to his room after school and strangled him to death. Then I tied him to a beam, trying to fake the illusion of suicide. Those were all things I did on the spur of the moment, and later The more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, and I surrendered myself today."

Qi Lin's shoulders relaxed a little, and he leaned back on the chair, "I don't think your body can strangle a 14-year-old man to death."

Generally speaking, if you want to strangle a man whose size is very different from your own, unless you use drugs or make him lose consciousness in advance, it is almost impossible.

But the deceased did not have any external injuries.

Sure enough, Chen Wen said: "I used medicine. I bought phenytoin before and mixed the medicine into his water."

Phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug that has a sedative effect, but Qi Lin has never heard of using this drug to make people unconscious.

Whether it can make people unconscious is still one thing.

"How did you get your prescription? Is there a doctor at home?"

"There are some phone numbers written in black pen in the public toilets outside. I bought them by phone." Chen Wen's eyes dodged a little.

"Is there a phone number for me?"

"I can't remember the phone number."

"What about your call records?" Qi Lin reached out to Chen Wen and asked for his mobile phone.

"I, I have the habit of deleting call records." Chen Wen didn't show Qi Lin the phone, "Besides, I didn't bring my phone either."

Qi Lin didn't like this. When he just came in, he clearly saw Chen Wen playing with his mobile phone.

"Show me the phone, it's in your left pocket." Qi Lin said.

Chen Wen quickly covered his pockets, but couldn't resist Qi Lin's sharp eyes, so he still gave it to him resentfully.

Qi Lin opened the call log.

Chen Wen's call records are full, but simpler.At a glance, there is no unknown number except for the contacts who are noted as parents or classmates.

"When did you contact me?" He raised his eyes, and his tone gradually became indifferent.

"Probably the fifth day of last month? No, no, it was earlier... yes..." Chen Wen faltered and didn't say why for a long time.

So Qi Lin started to look forward from the [-]th of last month, and kept reading for several pages, but he didn't see the phone number he wanted to see.

In the empty records, only the carrier has the most phone calls, followed by "mother".

"Why don't you show me the record?" Qi Lin handed the phone back to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen just lowered his head and swipe his phone, never giving Qi Lin an answer.

The atmosphere began to freeze.Chen Wen didn't have the courage to speak, and Qi Lin didn't intend to speak either.He felt that the kid in front of him was very dishonest, and the best solution for a dishonest kid was to be silent.

But the silence didn't last long.After a while, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

Shi Le came to the meeting room with a cup of coffee and a cup of water, and placed them in front of Qi Lin and Chen Wen respectively.

"I thought that drinking coffee for children would be bad for your health, so I brought you a glass of water." Shi Le could never figure out the situation, and now he was obviously interrogating, so it seemed strange to be messed up by him like this Same as meeting.

"Thank you." Shi Le's water was like Chen Wen's light, saving him.Chen Wen lowered his head and took a sip of the boiled water.

Such a common action has given new meaning to Qi Lin.

When drinking water, the fingertips are obviously harder, and it is also difficult to swallow.

He is lying.

Qi Lin didn't go to get the coffee that was pushed in front of him.After Chen Wen took a big sip of water, he stared into Chen Wen's eyes: "How did you kill him?"

"Pulley, I use a pulley." Oppressed by Qi Lin's powerful aura, Chen Wen's eyes began to wander a little, "Use this pulley in the middle, tie one part to the neck and the other to the doorknob, so that you only need to use force." You can strangle to death by hitting the door."

The strangle marks and pulleys on the back of the door were indeed recovered from the scene.

"It's this?" Qi Lin took out the evidence bag from his pocket. Inside the transparent plastic bag was a small and exquisite pulley.

Chen Wen nodded.

"Very good." Qi Lin handed the pulley to Shi Le with a blank expression, "Tell me about the timeline of the day."

"Leaving school at six o'clock, arriving in the room at 06:30 and killing someone."

"Who goes to bed at 06:30?"

"Everyone has different habits."

Qi Lin shrugged, "Tell me more about the timeline."

At this time, Shi Le interrupted him.

"Senior, it's just surrender, why is it like an interrogation? Anyway, they surrendered themselves, can't you be gentle?"

Shi Le showed an exaggerated smile, "Like this, smile~"

Qi Lin was too lazy to look at him, but clicked his pen, then raised his dark brown eyes, and asked Chen Wen the same thing again: "I need a detailed timeline."

Chen Wen sighed, "Leaving school at six o'clock, then bought a pancake at the door, and finally arrived in the room at 06:30."

"Excellent." Qi Lin felt that he had hallucinations in his ears for a moment, "Did you forget to eat pancakes before killing people?"

Chen Wen still used his words: "Everyone has different habits."

It seemed that the kid wanted to deal with it in one sentence.

"Since you don't want to say it, then don't say it." Qi Lin stood up and left his seat.

Shi Le saw a slight sullen look on the face of this sharp-eyed and star-eyed criminal policeman.

"I warn you, though, that surrender is a crime in itself."

His tone was heavy, revealing the coercion of his aura.

Chen Wen panicked and looked at Shi Le.Shi Le put her hands on her hips and made no statement.

"Is that true? Kid? You will be punished if your brother finds out you are lying." Shi Le looked like a big brother teaching a kid, but in Qi Lin's eyes, it was just a kid teaching another kid child.

Chen Wen's face turned pale immediately, his lips moved slightly, "Yes, I'm sorry, I lied."

Qi Lin knew this was the case.He asked, "Then who did you originally want to help?"

Chen Wen didn't speak again.

……

Dinner is settled in the cafeteria.Chicken legs, goulash and a little poached broccoli were served in the cafeteria tonight.Qi Lin took a tray and sat in a corner, Shi Le still followed him closely.

"Hey, there's an extra little tail." Xiao Wang also came over with a tray, "How is it? I heard you found a new case?"

"Don't mention it, this case is weird. It's obviously a suicide case, but there are more people who turned themselves in." Qi Lin used chopsticks to separate the meat and bones on the chicken leg, "Have the traces of drugs on the corpse been found?" ?”

Xiao Wang smiled wryly and shook his head, "There are indeed drug residues in the body of the deceased, but the deceased was still taking the drug because of his poor health. The specific ingredients of the drug have not been detected yet. This is a big project, and it will not work out in a while."

"Thanks for your hard work." Qi Lin echoed in a social manner.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang started to push his nose and face up, "Captain Qi, don't just comfort me with words, my stomach also needs comfort."

He stared at the chicken legs on Qi Lin's plate with golden eyes.

Qi Lin pursed his lips, intending to insert his chopsticks into the chicken leg, but found that Shi Le was also lying on the opposite side of the table, staring pitifully at Qi Lin's chicken leg.

"I also want to eat your chicken legs—" Shi Le dragged out his voice.

Qi Lin was in a dilemma for a while.He didn't like to eat chicken legs in the first place, and he would give Xiao Wang the usual chicken legs if he wanted them.

But now Xiao Wang actually has a competitor.

One side is my partner, and the other side is a friend I have known for a long time.

"Why don't you give it to Shile this time? It was given to you every time before, but this time it's you, the senior who takes care of the newcomer?" Qi Lin tentatively asked.

"Yeah!" Before Xiao Wang could reply, Shi Le happily picked up Qi Lin's big drumstick, ahhh took a bite, and thanked Xiao Wang inarticulately while eating, "Boot boot Xiao Wang Xianbei Give me the drumstick."

"This chicken leg is not for you to eat for free." Qi Lin knocked on the plate, "At six o'clock tomorrow morning, wait for me at the gate of Qijiang Middle School on time."

"Ah - so early." Shi Le wailed.
