Original sin

Shen Chen has already received a call from Fu Hong, and he is in the office right now.

Tao Minlai surrendered himself?This really surprised him, but soon he figured it out. He had always thought that Liu Bai was probably the murderer of Xie Changqing, because Liu Bai had a sufficient motive for killing, although this motive may seem to many people Somewhat ridiculous.

Now that Tao Min came to surrender, it is very likely that he took the blame for Liu Bai. The reason is very simple, that is, the relationship between their husband and wife has always been very good. Tao Min may have known the truth, and she is ready to make sacrifices for Liu Bai. Of course , it may even be discussed by the couple, after all, the case will always come to light in the end.

The only thing that Shen Shen didn't understand was why Tao Min and Liu Bai chose to surrender themselves at this point in time, why not earlier, or later when the police were getting closer to the truth?

Shen Chen came to Fu Hong's office.

"Mengzi is taking a statement for her." Fu Hong handed Shen Chen a cigarette.

Shen Chen took it and clicked: "Have you talked with her first?"

"Yes, she admitted that she killed Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu, but she said she didn't know about the deaths of Liang Lan and Song Yinghong. She didn't even seem to know who Song Yinghong was."

Shen Shen nodded: "Have you contacted Liu Bai about this matter?"

"I called Liu Bai and asked him to come to the bureau."

Shen Chen said: "This timing is very delicate. Based on the situation that Sister Lan encountered last night, the couple should have received some kind of threat from the outside."

Fu Hong also thinks so. Last night, sister Lan's accident happened. Even he and Huang Meng thought it was for Liu Bai and Tao Min, but the couple had nothing wrong with them. That's obvious. Tune the tiger away from the mountain, the opponent should have already made some moves.

Could it be that the other party forced them to surrender themselves?

At this moment, a young policeman knocked on the door and walked in: "Captain Fu, Liu Bai is here."

Fu Hong hurriedly said, "Let him in."

After a while Liu Bai came to Fu Hong's office.

Liu Bai's face was a little pale, and he looked devastated. He greeted Fu Hong and Shen Chen dumbly, and Fu Hong asked him to sit down on the sofa.

"Mr. Liu, I already told you about it on the phone. Did you know about it beforehand?"

Fu Hong shook his head to show that he didn't know anything about it.

Shen Chen didn't speak, he was smoking a cigarette at the side, but he was looking at Liu Bai's face.

"Mr. Liu, murder is a felony. Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu lost their lives. Do you know what kind of punishment Tao Min will face?" Fu Hong asked softly.

Liu Bai pursed his lips and nodded, of course he knew the truth of killing for life.

He felt very uncomfortable, and he had an urge to tell the truth. He didn't want a woman who loved him deeply to take the blame for him, and might even die for him.

He regretted it, regretted why he was so impulsive, maybe he couldn't be said to be impulsive, if he could be more patient, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.

At this time, Shen Shen said: "Tao Min said that she killed people for you, she was arguing for you, she felt that Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu should not treat you like that, they completely regard you as a tool for them to make money. Liu Sir, there is one thing I don't understand. You own shares in this studio. Judging from the shareholding situation, you have a lot of shares, and the income you can get is also very good. I don't understand. In such a situation Under such circumstances, why would Tao Min do such a thing?"

Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, he was stopped by Shen Chen's question.

He couldn't say that Tao Min did this to maintain his purity and dedication to art, he hesitated and said, "Maybe she doesn't want to see me suffer?"

"Your pain comes from the perfect pursuit of art, right? You think they shouldn't treat your music as a commodity, and shouldn't be mercenary. You don't want your music to smell like copper, right?" Shen Shen can say It was right to the point, but Liu Bai still felt that Shen Shen's interpretation of himself was superficial.

He said: "You are not engaged in creation, so you don't know the kind of feelings a creator has for his own work. That work is like his own child. Everyone knows that his child is born perfect, without any flaws. , but they don't care about these things at all. In their view, as long as they can be sold for money, many of my works are not really formed, and there are such and other defects, but they only value economic interests, resulting in many A premature baby that I'm not even happy with, that's a blasphemy to art, an insult to music."

When Liu Bai said this, he was a little excited, and also a little angry, his hands clenched tightly into fists.

Shen Chen said again: "So you hate Xie Changqing, and you have already had a murderous intention towards him."

"No, I never thought of killing someone, not even him."

"But Xie Changqing died. Since you don't want to kill him, how did he die?" Shen Shen asked one after another, as if he didn't want to give Liu Bai some time to think.

Fu Hong's eyes widened on the side, he could already feel that Shen Chen was controlling the rhythm of the conversation with Liu Bai, and Shen Chen deliberately ignored an important issue, that is, Tao Min had already voluntarily admitted that he It is the fact that Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu were killed.

Shen Chen didn't even mention Tao Min in his words.

Liu Bai's originally pale face turned slightly red: "At first I just hoped to have a good talk with him, but he..." When he said this, Liu Bai seemed to realize something, he looked at Shen Shen: "Shen Shen Police officer, do you think that I am the one who killed Xie Changqing when you said this just now?"

Liu Bai unexpectedly also reacted.

Shen Chen said lightly: "Did I say anything? I never said that you killed Xie Changqing from the beginning to the end, and I also know that it was not you. Didn't the real murderer surrender himself? Tao Min is your wife. You couple have not known each other for a long time, and the number of times of contact is not too much, but I can feel that she loves you very much, and she is even willing to do everything for you. Take her killing Xie Changqing as an example, if it wasn’t for you , she and Xie Changqing don't have any personal grievances at all except for a little work intersection, so how could she kill someone?"

Shen Chen paused here, and blew out a smoke ring: "So her murder was affected by your emotions, because you hate Xie Changqing very much, and you should have complained a lot in front of her. She felt that Xie Changqing's existence made you Unhappy, unhappy, depressed, your appearance made her very sad as your wife, and in the end she killed someone impulsively, but the root cause is still you, isn't it?"

Fu Hong on the side really couldn't understand, why did Shen Shen's words turn the wind again?

Liu Bai stopped talking, it was really difficult for him to answer, the main reason was that if he really followed Shen's words and said that he couldn't pass the test in his heart, after all, Shen Chen was right about one thing, that is, Tao Min was willing to do it for him. Do everything by yourself, including taking the blame for yourself and dying for yourself.

It was impossible for him to accept such a reality with peace of mind. At this moment, he was struggling in his heart, whether to tell the truth of the matter.But Tao Min's letter said that even if he pleaded guilty now, Tao Min could avoid death, but he was still guilty, and by doing so, he violated Tao Min's will.

Also, his work is about to be completed. This is his favorite work. He believes that this work will be a masterpiece in the history of modern music and will definitely cause a sensation in the music world. He has worked hard for so many years. Isn't it for this day?

On the way here, he has already made mental preparations, he has thought clearly, and when this work ends perfectly, he will tell the truth of the matter at the press conference, return Tao Min's innocence, and take responsibility for himself legal responsibility.

But now his thoughts are shaken, he hesitates, because he doesn't know if Tao Min can wait for that day, murder is a felony, and it still takes two lives, if Tao Min is really sentenced to death, then she can still wait until her own death. The day she was rescued?

Shen Shen felt his inner struggle.

Shen Chen said: "Compared to Liang Lan, Tao Min is really a good wife."

Liu Bai pursed his lips, as if he was biting his own lips, for fear that something would come out accidentally.

That's right, Tao Min is really a good wife, compared to Liang Lan, she is not a little bit better.

"By the way, I don't know if Liang Lan's death has anything to do with her." Shen Chen brought the topic to Liang Lan again.

"Absolutely not. It is impossible for her to kill Liang Lan, and she has no reason to kill Liang Lan."

Shen Chen smiled: "It's hard to say, hasn't Liang Lan been blackmailing you? She has been trying to extort money from you all the time, doesn't that make you angry? She even got your cousin here, and asked Your cousin bugged your home."

Liu Bai frowned, this is really hard to explain.

Shen Chen said again: "One thing I still can't understand is why Liang Lan did this."

Fu Hong coughed lightly from the side: "Fan Honglin explained that matter later, it was Xie Changqing who asked her to do this, and Liang Lan just built a bridge."

Liu Bai didn't say a word, there are some things he still hasn't figured out, like Xie Changqing, or Liang Lan, why did they install bugs in their home, and what happened to Liang Lan's death .

All in all, these things seemed strange to him.

Hearing what Fu Hong said, Shen Chen nodded and said, "Then what is Xie Changqing's purpose for doing this?"

Liu Bai shook his head.

Fu Hong also fell into deep thought.

Shen Chen already knew the answer in his heart at this moment, as he imagined, the person who really killed Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu should be Liu Bai in front of him, Tao Min did take the blame for him, but he didn't use words to provoke Liu Bai, He knew that the case of Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu might have come to an end, but Liang Lan's death, the experience of the "vegetative" singer Li Wenjing lying on the hospital bed, and the death of Song Yinghong should really have nothing to do with Liu Bai. However, these cases were entangled together, which made the case complicated.

At this time, he was not in a hurry to force Liu Bai to confess. He was confident that if he used some tricks, maybe Liu Bai's psychological defense would collapse, but now is not the time.

If Tao Min's surrender had something to do with what happened last night when Sister Lan's car was hit outside Liu Bai's house, then someone must be trying to target Liu Bai. What is the purpose of this group?Will they have any follow-up actions, then they have to keep Liu Bai temporarily to figure out what these people want to do.

Fu Hong hardly interrupted, Shen Shen dominated the rhythm of the conversation.

"Shen Da, Captain Fu, can I see Xiao Min?" Liu Bai asked in a low voice.

Fu Hong waved his hand: "Not now."

"Then when can we meet?" Liu Bai really wanted to see Tao Min again, even if it was just a glance.

But Fu Hong said: "It's hard to say. The police have police rules, and there are corresponding procedures for handling cases. How about this? If I can let you meet, I will notify you as soon as possible. In addition, you'd better It’s better to stay at home, don’t go out casually, let alone leave Lincheng, maybe there are some specific circumstances related to the case that we need to check with you.”

Liu Bai nodded, he was obviously a little disappointed.

Shen Chen said to Liu Bai: "Mr. Liu, if you think of anything that you think is important, you can contact us at any time. In addition, if there is any problem with safety, we have our colleagues outside your house, and you can also contact us at any time. They call for help."

Liu Bai responded, Fu Hong sent him out, and then Fu Hong closed the door.

"Head, if you persisted in digging just now, you should be able to dig out the truth of the matter, but why did you suddenly stop?" Fu Hong really couldn't figure it out. At that time, he found that Liu Bai seemed to be shaken. With every step of the way, Liu Bai might not be able to hold back and tell the truth.

But at that moment, Shen Shen's words changed.

Shen Shen smiled wryly: "Actually, even if Tao Min didn't turn himself in, Huang Meng's investigation has gradually approached the truth. As long as the chain of evidence is carefully organized, there will be a breakthrough. But at this time, Tao Min has turned himself in. Although Tao Min can tell the truth about the crime, but Liu Bai doesn't have her psychological quality at all. That's right, if I continue to press Liu Bai just now, I will definitely lose my position. But I am not only thinking about Xie Changqing Don't forget about the case with Ye Qingzhu, Liang Lan and Song Yinghong's case and the involved Li Wenjing, etc. If the deaths of Xie Changqing and Ye Qingzhu were just stupid things done because of Liu Bai's obsession with art, but like How to explain the matter of Liang Lan, Li Wenjing and Song Yinghong? It can be seen that Liu Bai and Tao Min are not aware of these matters at all."

Only then did Fu Hong nod his head to express his understanding: "You are taking a long line to catch big fish."

"Look, I don't know if my feelings are right or wrong. I think keeping Liu Bai outside may be the real key to solving all the puzzles."

"What about Tao Min?"

"Follow the procedure, do what you want, but even if all the procedures are completed, it will not be handed over to the procuratorate for now, just put it away." Shen Chen put the cigarette butt out in the ashtray.
