Li Let桃's account to us was very similar to what Yu Zimo had described earlier. I observed her expression, which was normal. I estimated that the couple had never been to the corridor, and it was all Yu Zimo's imagination. The actual crime scene was on this road in the street.
I suddenly thought of something and asked Li Let桃, "Have you been to the central drug rehabilitation center before?"
"No, Officer He, why would you say that? I don't do drugs, why would I go there?"
"No, it's just a routine inquiry. Just answer our questions."
"Alright, what else do you want to ask? Ask it all at once, I have to get back to the company."
"Why were you hiding before? We looked for you but couldn't find you."
"Something happened at home during that time, so I went back. The signal there was bad, so I turned off my phone. Things aren't as you imagine. Do you think it's strange that I'm with Wu Yuanzhou and also close to Yu Zimo? Actually, Yu Zimo is my cousin, and we've been very close since childhood. You can verify it if you don't believe me."
Liu Yu Ning immediately sent a message to He Xin to check. A moment later, she replied, "That's correct, they are indeed relatives."
"Yu Zimo didn't mention it before. I thought you were in a relationship like that," Liu Yu Ning said.
"To outsiders, many people think so, don't they? But no one knows, we are just cousins."
"If you had said this earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble," I said helplessly.
Li Let桃 looked indifferent. "How was I supposed to know you'd suspect these things? If you want to catch the bad guy, focus your attention on that burly man and don't waste time on innocent people like us. We've told you all the clues we can provide. I know you'll be interrogating Yu Zimo later, but what can you find out? We are just witnesses!"
I could see that Li Let桃 was speaking very seriously, and her micro-expressions were normal. She should not be lying.
"One last question, you didn't get a clear look at the burly man's appearance then?" I continued to ask.
Li Let桃 shook her head without thinking. "From my angle, I couldn't see. Yu Zimo's side could. Ask him!"
I didn't say anything more and left. I went to Yu Zimo's interrogation room next door and sat down, playing Li Let桃's testimony. After hearing it, he slowly said, "So she told you everything. It's just as she said, isn't it? I admit I had mental problems before, but even if you don't believe me, you should believe her, right? So I have nothing more to say."
"Yu Zimo, I hope you can recall again, what did that burly man look like? Don't be like last time," I urged him.
Yu Zimo smiled awkwardly and then began to think hard. Seeing that this wasn't working, I took out some surveillance footage taken at the scene and showed it to him so he could identify it for us.
Sure enough, after a while, Yu Zimo's eyes changed, as if he had remembered something. He slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it, no wonder I remembered it wrong! I was so scared that day when I saw what happened that I fell to the ground. Theoretically, I should have died. But strangely, when I got up, I found myself in the corridor."
"So you conjured up so many things in the corridor?" Liu Yu Ning pressed.
"Yes, I remember now. Honestly, after Dr. He hypnotized me last time, I started having dreams at night. Some of the dream scenes were terrifying, some were after I fainted, and some were appearing in the corridor. Gradually, I realized that was the truth of what happened. My previous memories, as you said, should have been contaminated."
"Okay, can you describe that person's appearance now?" The key was still here. Now it depended on how Yu Zimo would explain.
He showed a very sincere expression, closed his eyes, and pondered. Before he even opened his eyes, he began to speak: "Square face, bald, eyes like thin lines, wide forehead, smooth chin..."
I picked up a pen and paper and began to describe. I still needed Yu Zimo to elaborate on the details, otherwise, mere adjectives would be incomprehensible. Of course, I also needed to compare it with computer graphics. We brought him to He Xin's side, so we would be foolproof.
After our efforts, we finally arrived at a sketch of the burly man. He Xin excitedly started using facial recognition to scan, but we were still very nervous, fearing that the celebrity's likeness would appear again.
Fortunately, the outcome was positive. This time, we found an ordinary man, who had also been in the central drug rehabilitation center before.
"Another drug addict. Why would he kill people who have been to the drug rehabilitation center?" Liu Yu Ning pondered, resting his chin on his hand, his eyes glued to the screen.
"It's like bullying incidents in schools. This person must have been humiliated while undergoing rehabilitation at the drug rehabilitation center," I said.
"That's possible. Cases like this happen frequently. If that's his motive, then it's easy to explain. But I always feel that this time it's not so simple."
"Oh? Why is our Captain Liu so pessimistic this time?"
Normally, I would be the one asking such questions. This time it was Liu Yu Ning's turn, and even He Xin praised, "Dad, your thinking ability isn't as sharp as Captain Liu's this time!"
"Perhaps. But solving a case requires evidence. Speculation here is meaningless. Let's go, let's go to the drug rehabilitation center again," I suggested.
Liu Yu Ning followed me. This time, we planned to go directly into the drug rehabilitation center to investigate. It was already night, but this time was more suitable for investigation.
As we were parking, someone suddenly appeared from behind: "I was also in the car. Didn't you notice me?"
I turned around and saw He Xin. "When did you hide in here?"
"What are you talking about? I didn't hide. I was just fiddling with this when I got in the car. You didn't hear me, so you assumed no one was here!"
"Uh, what is this?"
"An all-angle omnidirectional listening and surveillance device."
"What's the use of it? Can it observe the environment of a place and also receive sounds from within?" Liu Yu Ning guessed.
He Xin nodded excitedly. "I just invented it. I don't know if it works, but this time we can use the drug rehabilitation center to test it!"
Woof woof!!
