Chapter 254 Shadow (5)

Wu Cuo froze for a moment, but didn't react for a while.

Of course, there are not a few families of the deceased who demand severe punishment for the murderer. With the relationship between Sun Xiaochao and his brother, Wu Cuo did not expect him to raise such a question immediately.

"How to sentence is decided by the court, our task is to bring the murderer to court."

"Will the death penalty be imposed?" Sun Xiaochao asked again unwillingly.

Wu Cuo had no choice but to explain: "The final judgment is related to the circumstances of the crime and the murderer's attitude of confession and repentance."

"That is to say, killing someone is not necessarily the death penalty, is it?"

Wu Cuo couldn't answer him, so he could only change the subject and said, "Talk about that phone call. The last time you contacted your brother, who answered the phone? Do you recognize the person who answered the phone?"

Sun Xiaochao lowered his head for a while in disappointment, "I don't know him."

"Then what did he say?"

"He said...he didn't know my brother, he just picked up my brother's cell phone."

"Where did you find it?"

"I... don't know... it's not my brother, so I hung up the phone."

"I don't know? You called your brother for the first time at 03:30 last night. According to your description, your brother said that he rushed to the hospital immediately. He didn't show up until after five o'clock. You called him again, and the other party Don't you think it's strange to tell you that the mobile phone was picked up? Hang up the phone without a single question?"

"I... can't take care of it, my father is about to die, I... Anyway, I don't know that person."

Yan Ruyu, who kept silent all this time, asked, "Does your brother have any money? Last night your father was critically ill. It should cost a lot of money to rescue him? Did your brother say he would bring money to the hospital?"

"No, he has no money."

Yan Ruyu frowned and said, "So when your brother went out to the hospital last night, he didn't bring much money with him as usual."

"should be."

"What about the woman? Did your brother say he would take the woman to the hospital?"

"What?!" Sun Xiaochao's expression instantly became very surprised, he did not expect Yan Ruyu to have such a guess.

Obviously, Yan Ruyu guessed right.

Sun Xiaochao sorted out his emotions and said: "That's what the old man wants to see, the old man is looking forward to us getting married and starting a business.

So I discussed with my brother and asked him to find a girl, say it's his girlfriend, to make Dad happy.

But I'm not sure... After all, last night... It was too late, even if he found a girl who was willing to act with us, it might not be convenient for him at that time, so I'm not sure if he was with a girl last night together. "

"Okay, I have one last question." Yan Ruyu rubbed a cigarette in his hand and said, "After coming to Jingbei City, how much did you spend on treating your father?"

"Is this... is this related to the case?" Sun Xiaochao asked doubtfully.

"Does it matter? It's okay to reveal it, right?"

"What do you mean? You want to ask me for money? If you don't give me money, you won't do anything?" The two of them didn't expect that Sun Xiaochao's emotions would suddenly get out of control, his face flushed and his fists clenched, "I see through Oh, what policeman?! You didn’t think about catching the murderer, did you?!”

Yan Ruyu sighed, and walked out of the office, Wu Cuo's expression became unsightly.

"Forensic Doctor Xu will handle the relevant handover procedures of the corpse with you. Of course, if it is convenient, storing the corpse with us for a period of time is good for solving the case. Some cases are the key evidence found during the second autopsy. We will continue the case Cha, thank you for your cooperation!"

"No need, go through the formalities now."

Sun Xiaochao didn't want to stay here any longer, and the procedures were handled very quickly.

When Sun Xiaochao left, Wu Cuo slapped the table angrily and said: "It's all those scumbags who damage the image of our police. In this situation, we can set aside the conviction of the criminal and deal with the victim's family first. What a shame!" The mother is aggrieved!"

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "I don't think it's false to distrust, but it's true that you don't want us to continue asking."

"What do you mean?"

"There is a contradiction. On the one hand, I look down on my brother Sun Chao and threaten to treat him as my brother. On the other hand, I am very concerned about the murderer's sentencing."

"It's a bit strange, but... hey! The heart of the family members of the deceased, the sea needle! This is not a contradiction."

"I hope," Yan Ruyu said thoughtfully, "Then next..."

"Next... I want to visit Sun Chao's residence." Wu wrongly said.

"It's really worth a visit."

Xiao Bai interjected: "I have a basic understanding of his residence.

It was a group rented house with 2 bedrooms and 1 living room. The Internet cafe rented one of them for four people, including two cashiers and two network administrators. The other seems to be rented to a couple of college students... In short , Their living conditions are messy. "

Wu Cuo said: "The house price is too expensive, and the location of the university town is good. The monthly rent for a set of 2 bedrooms and 1 living room is 8000 yuan, which is terrible!"

"It's not a big deal if there are too many people. The point is, the cash register and the network administrator... share a room with men and women? It's a bit too... that's it..." Minghui asked.

"It's normal," Yan Ruyu said disapprovingly, "If you know about Jing Piao's life in the basement, you won't be surprised."

Compared with Xiaobai and Minghui, who have a smooth life trajectory, Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo obviously understand the sufferings of the people at the bottom better.

The four arrived at Sun Chao's residence early the next morning.

It was Xiaoxue who opened the door for them. She was about to go out to work.

Seeing Yan Ruyu and Xiaobai, she greeted them generously: "We meet again, two police officers."

Xiaoxue was still wearing the dress with rhinestones, and this time the four of them paid special attention to the rhinestones on her clothes.

It's complete, nothing is missing.

Seeing the four people staring at her chest, Xiaoxue was a little annoyed, she glared at them and went out, whispering: "Sure enough, it's not a good thing."

"Sure enough?" Wu Cuo smiled wryly.

"Just get used to it." Yan Ruyu patted his shoulder and entered the room.

As soon as he walked to the door of Sun Chao's bedroom, he heard some...strange sounds through the door.

There appeared to be two persons in the room engaged in some kind of exercise, their voices sounded subdued, and they obviously did not wish to be discovered.

Wu Cuo sighed, reached out and knocked on the door.

The sound in the room stopped abruptly.

"Ahem, police, please cooperate with the investigation."

After saying the beginning of this routine, Wu Cuo added another sentence, "It's okay, don't worry, take your time." It is considered humanistic care.

Yan Ruyu and the other three looked up at the ceiling at a 45° angle.

A minute later, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was a young boy, at most 20 years old, with his shoulders hunched, and he looked very reserved.

There was another girl, also young, pretending to be calm and sitting on a bed that had obviously just been made.

These are Sun Chao's other two colleagues, the girl is the cashier and works with Xiaoxue, the boy is the network administrator and works with Sun Chao.

Wu Cuo showed his police officer ID, and the boy asked first, "Officer, are you here for Sun Chao's business?"

Wu nodded by mistake.

The boy actively pointed to a bed on the upper bunk, "That's Sun Chao's bed, why don't we go out first, so as not to affect your investigation..."

Yan Ruyu interrupted him, pointed to a T-shirt hanging on the edge of the other upper bed, and asked the girl, "Is this yours?"

It was a T-shirt that was exactly the same as the one Xiaoxue was wearing, the only difference was that two rhinestones were missing on the chest.

"Yes...it's mine, what's the matter?" The girl glanced at the boy nervously.

The boy quietly raised his hand and pressed down, the gesture meant to make the girl calm down.

"Officer, she's just here, and she's not familiar with Sun Chao. If you have anything to ask, just ask me." The boy took the initiative.

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo looked at each other, and they both saw the joy of discovering clues in each other's eyes.

"Can I talk to you alone?" Wu Cuo said to the boy.

While talking, Wu mistakenly signaled that the boy would go out with him, but the boy refused to go, standing where he was and staring at Yan Ruyu worriedly.

"I can cooperate with you! But Honghong..."
