Chapter 647 Confrontation

Romeo continued to ask: "Kunta, why did you help Liang Xi kill someone?"

Kunta replied: "He is my friend. From a personal point of view, I think he is right. Petain should die."

Romeo looked through the interrogation record: "But your testimony mentioned that your targets were Petain and Phil, but Liang Xi denied that he had the idea of ​​assassinating Phil. Can you explain?"

Kunta replied: "He lied."

Romeo looked at Liang Xi, and Liang Xi replied, "I don't."

Romeo said: "You know that the spirit of our law is beyond doubt. But now there are serious contradictions in the testimony of the two, so I want to ask, does any of you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"

Liang Xi said: "No, even if Kunta is telling the truth, he should be an accomplice."

Romeo nodded: "Let me correct my question, do you have any evidence to prove that what you said is true?"

Liang Xi replied: "Since entering the interrogation room, I have been telling the truth. My attitude should prove everything."

Romeo asked, "Are you telling the truth? How can you be sure that Kunta is lying?"

Liang Xi said: "I didn't say that Kunta lied, did he lie? If he lied, why do you still believe the testimony of a liar?"

Romeo was unmoved and asked, "As a detective, do you have any ideas based on the information you know about the case so far?"

Liang Xi said, "I have no idea."

At this time Kunta said: "I have clearly described every detail, including many times when I almost fell down the mountain. You can verify my testimony based on the traces at the scene."

Yishakan just got the first technical report: "According to the site survey, two people went up the mountain together and went down the mountain together. The situation on the spot is basically in line with what Kunta said."

Liang Xi explained: "It is possible that he used the excuse of going to the toilet and went up the mountain with the real shooter."

Yisha said: "Liang Xi, this explanation is somewhat far-fetched. Since they have arranged for a killer, why did they drag you? Do you have any grudges with Kunta? Why did he go to such lengths to frame you?"

This question was difficult to answer, and Liang Xi was also lost in thought.At this moment, Liu Zhen pushed open the door and slapped a report on the table: "Firearm identification, the bullet that killed Petain did not match the trajectory of the tango sniper rifle found at the scene."

Liu Zhendao: "In other words, no matter who is telling the truth and who is lying, Liang Xi did not use a tango sniper rifle to kill Pétain. First of all, it proved that Kunta was lying, and Liang Xi did not use tango to kill Pétain. Secondly, from Kunta According to Ta's testimony, it is impossible for Liang Xi to have a second gun. Liang Xi is the murderer. There is only one possibility left. Liang Xi and Kunta went up the mountain together. Liang Xi took out the gun he had prepared and killed Petain. Kunta Ta, did Liang Xi carry a gun himself, did he kill Petain with his own gun? Or did you insist that Liang Xi kill Petain with the tango you provided?"

Kunta was so shocked that he was dumbfounded: "Impossible, I saw him pull the trigger and shoot Pétain with my own eyes, and I heard the gunshots. False, the ballistic report was falsified, it must have been faked, Pétain was killed by him, I saw it with my own eyes .”

Kunta, who has always been calm, stood up excitedly, and two special police officers immediately pushed him back.Kunta kept saying: "Impossible, he killed it, he killed it, he fired the gun, I saw it with my own eyes."

Robert entered the interrogation room and whispered something in Isa's ear. Isa said: "A half cigar was found at the scene of the sniping. Although fingerprints are difficult to extract, the technicians believe that there is human DNA on it."

Kunta looked at Liang Xi, and Liang Xi tapped his forehead with two fingers.Kunta understood immediately, stood up and pointed at Liang Xi: "He killed Petain, he set up, he framed me, it was him..." Kunta was extremely emotional, and it took a lot of effort for two special police officers to push Kunta back.

Romeo asked: "Kunta, do you still insist that you saw Liang Xi kill Petain with the tango you provided?"

Kunta: "Yes, that's true."

Romeo looked at Liu Zhen, turned to Isa and said, "I want to do the ballistic experiment again."

Liu Zhen: "Look clearly, the tango sniper rifle uses the standard Nanto bullet, 7.62X51 mm. The bullet that killed Pétain is .22 caliber."

"Point 22?" Kunta was shocked again.The .22 is pretty much the smallest caliber bullet in standard firearms, with very low damage and not very long range.Unlike tango, where a hit to the torso is fatal, a .22 bullet must hit the vitals in order to achieve a fatal blow.And most of the firearms equipped with point 22 bullets have an advantage, that is, the sound is low.There is a micro-acoustic sniper rifle that cannot hear the gunshot from 20 meters away.

Liu Zhen said: "Romeo, if you have the guts, call the laboratory yourself and say that they made a mistake, and ask them to retest the ballistics against Tango. By the way, this bullet was dug out from Petain by two forensic doctors. Yes. The forensic doctor's first judgment after looking at the wound was a small-caliber bullet, not a standard South-to-U.S.

Kunta fell into memory, only remembering that Pétain's body shook for no reason, blood spattered from the heart, and he couldn't judge what kind of bullet caused the damage.But he firmly believed that Liang Xi killed Petain.Kunta struggled and said: "They must have replaced the bullets. You and Liang Xi are good friends." Refering to Romeo.

Then referring to Yisha: "Your husband is Liang Xi's friend. You have asked Liang Xi to handle the case many times. Liang Xi's girlfriend is your husband's sister. It's unfair, shady, and framed."

Liang Xi greeted the two special police officers behind Kunta with two fingers: "Take him down and calm down."

One of the two Red River special police subconsciously grabbed Kunta's shoulder, and was slapped away by his companion: What are you thinking?Did you listen to the suspect?
Isa said: "Take him down."

Liang Xi added: "I figured out that someone should really want to kill him now. He might want to commit suicide. I have something to say first. If he dies in the National Police Headquarters, my anti-terrorism office will turn the National Police Headquarters upside down. , and the generals and ministers at the General Staff can’t escape, and they’re all ready to line up for interrogation. Let me enjoy the feeling of standing at the pinnacle of power.”

Liu Zhen cooperatively glanced at Jenkinson, the director of the national police, and said, "I can do it myself."

Jenkinson stood up in a cold sweat and replied: "There will be absolutely no problem. Please also send someone from Blade to cooperate with the national police to detain the suspect."This time, the national police arrested the consultant, but it was turned over by a report from the other party. The public enmity brought personal grievances, and the anti-terrorism office's reputation in the country and its domineering style, who would dare to provoke them?
Kunta walked in front of Liang Xi and asked, "Why?"

Liang Xi didn't answer, but waved his hand to take him away.

After Kunta was taken away, Liang Xi asked, "Am I okay?"

Isa said: "This...you should be wronged first."

Liu Zhen asked: "Who is to blame for him being killed? Blade's fault?"

Romeo said: "It's better to ask Liang Xiqian to take a good rest."

Liang Xi was noncommittal: "I want to eat seafood pasta, black tea, and bacon pizza."

Yisha squeezed out a smile: "Yes, both."

After the interrogation room was over, Isa and Romeo left the national police headquarters. The two walked aside, and Romeo whispered: "He did it."

Isa: "Then why the ballistics don't match?"

Romeo: "He didn't kill, he really didn't. Someone helped him kill Petain."

Isa asked, "Who?"

"Where should you ask?" Romeo said with his mobile phone: "This is a topographic map. The real sniper should be in this position. Find."

Isa looked at her phone. It was already [-]:[-] in the morning. Isa turned on the real-time weather in Cambridgeshire: "Heavy rain."

Romeo closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "There is no solution to this case."

Although Petain is a bad guy, as police officers Romeo and Isa are not concerned with this.Isha hopes to bring out a team that strictly abides by and upholds the law.As a criminal policeman, Romeo seeks the truth as his basic professional ethics.

Isa said: "I think this case is just the beginning."

Romeo said: "Do you know the characteristics of Liang's plan? He will grasp a core point, but the development of the situation is always out of his control, but the result is not bad every time. This is in line with his character: try it or not. Will get pregnant. As long as you grasp the core, no matter how you try, at least there will be no loss to him. Judging from his attitude in the second half of the interrogation, he already has a clear idea and train of thought. Next is his king's time."

Isa is still a little unbelievable: "He and a gunman fired at the same time, he knocked the bullets away, and the gunman killed Petain. Kunta saw that Petain was shot and fell down through the telescope. Does that mean that Liang Xizai had a wiretap? Devices and the like?"

Romeo said: "Even if there is, it has been abandoned and destroyed. If you want to know the answer, you can ask Kunta if there was a lot of nonsense before Liang Xi shot."

Liang Xi code word: Aim at the target.

Killer: Take aim.

Liang Xi code word: kill after 3 seconds.

Killer: 3, 2, 1.
Liang Xi: Go to hell.

Let's shoot together.

Liang Xi pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew to Java.The killer bullet hit Petain's heart, a fatal blow.

This is a trump card. As long as Liang Xi gets this trump card, no one can connect Liang Xi with Petain's death.After Liang Xi elucidated the identity of the suspect, with his arrangements in advance and his strong detective ability, Liang Xi had a good chance of controlling the audience.

Romeo said: "When he doesn't deny that there is a mentality to kill Petain, I know he is taking control of the situation."

Isa said: "Now that I think of it, the most pitiful one is Kunta."

"This is what I can't figure out." Romeo said: "Why did Liang Xi want to take Kunta? As far as I know, their relationship is very close relying on John as an intermediary. Could it be that Kunta is also an actor? They are conspiring to make a A big deal?"

Isha disagreed: "From Kunta's expression, if they conspired to commit the crime, Kunta could win the Oscar winner."

Romeo sighed lightly: "Okay, let's go back and rest, we can only wait for the protagonist to reveal the answer to us."

Yisha said: "Go back and rest first, I want to talk to someone."

"Who?" Romeo suddenly realized: "Phil?"

Yisha nodded: "At present, it seems that Liang Xi has studded, and Phil is one of the variables. If he believes that Liang Xi is the murderer, in order to avenge Petain, he may break the rules and seek revenge from Liang Xi. This ending is definitely not ours. want to see."

Romeo said: "So it's better to be a detective, and you can stay away from these nosy things. Fortunately, I'm leaving first."

……

Isa waited at the door for 10 minutes before seeing Phil. Because of Petain's assassination, the general staff temporarily equipped Phil with a guard composed of 12 armed personnel and re-equipped a special car.It started to rain. Phil went down the stairs and saw Isa who was sheltering from the rain. He looked at Isa's car parked on the side of the road, walked up to Isa, and raised her hand to cover Isa from the rain: "Wait for me?"

Isa said, "Have breakfast together?"

Phil hesitated a little and asked, "Get in your car?"

"Please." Yisha signaled, and looked back at the four guard members who followed her: "Where's your original guard captain?"

Phil replied: "He applied to return to the team."

Isa said: "Change to my person."

Phil asked back, "Is this necessary?"

Yisha said: "I believe you can know from your feelings that this matter is not so simple. No one knows what Liang Xi wants to do. If what Kunta said is true, it means that Kunta did not prevent Liang Xi from killing you together .”

Phil said: "Do I have to believe the murderer who killed my wife?"

Isa didn't answer directly: "Please."

Phil greeted the temporary guard captain and said, "Disband the guard, and Blade is responsible for my safety."

"But……"

Phil said, "This is an order."

"Yes." The captain of the guard saluted and watched Phil and Isa get in the car and leave.

……

Breakfast is coffee, sandwiches and burgers from a fast food restaurant.

Phil glanced out the window: "You are more imposing than me, and a car of special police protects you."

Isa smiled: "Protect you."

"I?"

Isa said: "Phil, we seldom get together in recent years, but we still have some friendship."

Phil said: "Otherwise, I wouldn't arrange my daughter by your side."

Isa was noncommittal: "Have you heard of Schrödinger's cat?"

Phil said, "Is it the cat in the box?"

Yisha said: "You are the cat in the box now. We can see from the interrogation in the early morning that there is some consistency between the testimony of Liang Xi and Kunta, and that is the reason for killing Petain. Liang Xi thinks so, and Kunta I think Liang Xi thinks so. Don't get excited, I know you have suffered a lot."

Phil took a deep breath and said, "Continue."

Yisha said: "What is the reason for killing you? Kunta didn't say it, Liang Xi denied that he had the idea of ​​killing you. Before Liang Xi opened the box, no one knew whether you were a white cat or a black cat. Until now, no one really I really know what Liang Xi is going to do."

Phil: "You mean you didn't just want to kill Petain?"

Yisha said: "First of all, I want to correct one thing. No matter what the situation is, there is now a mountain of iron evidence that Liang Xi did not kill Petain, at least he did not kill Petain himself. This is not the first time Liang Xi has mentioned his hatred for Petain. Emotions, in our case handling, partnering with Romeo, and cooperating with the Anti-Terrorism Office, Liang Xi has always been very firm in his attitude towards Pétain: Pétain must be eliminated. He cannot accept a happy ending for a person who killed so many people .”

Yisha said: "But we all know that a person will only tell important secrets to cover up more important things. You know whether you are a black cat or a white cat. Based on what I know about Liang Xi, he is now You have already taken control of the situation and are planning to make a big fuss. If you are a black cat, I advise you to take care of yourself. Britain is surrounded by seas, so it is not difficult to leave. If you are a white cat, just sit quietly and wait for the end the result of."
