Chapter 142: He has a problem

Two and a half in the morning.

Chen Kang and Zhao Ping were taken to the Baijin City Public Security Bureau.

When the two met, they exchanged a few pleasantries.

"Old Biden, you have done all the bad things. Did your grandson call the police?"

"Fart, I was sleeping well, and suddenly I was woken up. You are just a dog who can't spit out ivory from your mouth!"

"Haha, don't think I don't know, you razor-sharp ears. Your wife has locked you out of the house again. Where are you going to sleep?"

"At least I have a wife..."

Deputy Director Lu Ping listened to the voices in the police station. He had not slept well in the past few days, and his brain ached when he heard them.

He quickly motioned to the police officers in charge of inquiring about the records and asked them to separate the two men for questioning.

In the inquiry room.

Chen Kang yawned and sat behind the iron table.

However, because there is no substantial evidence, these two are not considered suspects, so the management is relatively loose.

You can move around freely behind the desk, drink water, go to the toilet, etc.

Deputy Director Lu Ping stood behind the two questioning police officers.

The main reason why he arranged to interrogate Chen Kang first was——

"Chen Kang, we investigated your purchase records. Your magnet goods were purchased three days ago, one day earlier than Zhao Ping, right?"

Chen Kang nodded:

"This is the difference between a professional canteen operator and a half-baked one."

Police officer:······

"Chen Kang."

Deputy Director Lu Ping, who was standing behind, spoke.

"On the day when the Platinum City Chess Academy was hijacked, where were you at 8:20 that night?"

Chen Kang thought about it and replied:

"In the supermarket, walk two blocks east from Baijin City Qiyuan to the Minle Supermarket."

"That's a coincidence."

Lu Ping suddenly took a step forward and walked up to Chen Kang.

He stared into the latter's eyes and said:

"On the night when the Baijin City Chess Courtyard was hijacked, at 8:30, a kidnapping case of a young girl occurred at Minle Supermarket."

"And you arrived at the scene exactly ten minutes ago."

The kidnapping case of a young girl that Lu Ping was talking about was an incident in which a little girl was kidnapped and Su Chen provided clues and the Baijin City police rescued her.

Paradoxically, the kidnapped little girl was unharmed, but the original kidnapper became dead.

Lu Ping suddenly mentioned it here on purpose because he wanted to see Chen Kang's reaction.

When a person suddenly hears some news related to himself, his subconscious reaction that he has no time to control is often the most real.

However, Chen Kang looked calm and said:

"You're talking about that little girl, she's quite pitiful. Fortunately, nothing happened. That damn kidnapper got his comeuppance..."

"As for me going to that supermarket, it's just to buy groceries..."

Lu Ping interrupted him and asked:

"There is a small supermarket less than 100 meters away from your home. Why do you walk so far to buy groceries?"

Chen Kang smiled bitterly and explained:

"Originally, I heard that something happened at the Chess Academy and it was quite lively. Then an acquaintance who was at the scene took a video and gave it to me."

"I saw that I knew the little girl kidnapped by the fugitive named Su Chen, so I thought I would join in the fun and go over to have a look."

"When I went there, I forgot what my wife told me to buy groceries, so I bought them at the nearby chess courtyard..."

Just as he was talking, the voice of the investigating police officer came from Lu Ping's earphones.

[We just checked the supermarket surveillance, and there are shopping records in large supermarkets. Chen Kang did buy groceries. 】

Lu Ping nodded slightly and said softly:

"Okay, I get it."

The police officer in charge of the investigation added:

[By the way, Bureau Lu, there is something I need to report to you. 】

[Expert Qin Ming just gave the news, saying that the exact time of death of the deceased has been determined. 】

When Lu Ping heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked in a low voice:

"What's the time?"

In the autopsy room.

The body of the deceased was lying on the iron platform, with traces of incision and dissection everywhere.

Some strange tissues and liquids were placed on various instruments, and the monitors beeped.

Qin Ming, dressed in white and wearing headphones, put the scalpel in his hand on the operating table, took off his blood-stained gloves, and said:

"My previous estimate was accurate, but the time range was too large. Now, I can narrow the time of death to a quarter of an hour when the body was found, to half an hour ago."

"Such a small scope is already the limit of forensic identification. I think only the murderer himself knows the exact time of death."

"A quarter to half an hour later, the time we arrived was... 10:05 pm."

In the inquiry room.

Lu Ping glanced at the time record on the criminal record form:

"That is to say, the time of death of the deceased was between 9:35 pm and 9:50 pm."

Calculate the time.

Lu Ping calmly turned off his headphones and looked at Chen Kang not far away.

He opened his mouth without saying any more words, and just asked:

"Chen Kang, where were you at 9:35 last night?"

Ask this question.

Chen Kang, who had always answered fluently, was a little hesitant at this moment.

When Lu Ping saw his reaction, he was shocked and quickly drank:

"Don't think about how to deal with it. We can find out if you lie. Just tell us what you are doing."

Chen Kang suddenly lowered his head and stammered:

"I'm catching... mice."

Catching mice? !

Lu Ping was shocked again.

Could this be some kind of metaphor, comparing the deceased to a mouse? Could it be that the old man admitted it in disguise?

"Please explain the process in detail."

Lu Ping forcibly suppressed the ups and downs in his heart and kept his voice calm.

Chen Kang was a little confused:

"What kind of process can there be? Just take over the job of exterminating rats, put some bait, put up a sticky board or something..."

Lu Ping:? ? ?

"You just want to kill rats? That kind of rat with two round ears, four big teeth, furry rats that can't appear in the food?"

Chen Kang nodded and said seriously:

"Yeah, are you asking me about my experience in catching rats? There are quite a few. After all, I am the best rat exterminator in this area."

Talking about his excitement, he began to talk endlessly:

"It's harmful. Some people think that catching mice is too complicated. It's a matter of habit and timing. In fact, catching mice is very simple."

"All you need is to deal with the relationship between the mouse and the mouse hole. When the mouse and the mouse hole come together, they will live, and if they separate, they will die."

"You may not understand when I say this. In fact, when a mouse enters a hole, it may not be in the hole. A hole that a hand can reach into is not called a hole. Let me give you an example..."

Chen Kang kept talking. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Lu Ping quickly interrupted:

"Stop, stop, uncle, please take a rest."

"But I still don't understand. It's just a simple matter of catching a mouse. What were you hesitating about just now? Be honest!"

His tone suddenly rose.

Chen Kang's face turned red, he hesitated for a while, and then he began to unbuckle his pants in full view of everyone.

"Hey, there are lesbians here, what are you doing!"

Lu Ping quickly stood in front of a pretty female police officer who heard the news, and grabbed Chen Kang's hand.

But he saw Chen Kang secretly taking out an old wallet from his underwear pocket.

Chen Kang blushed and whispered:

"Comrade police, my mother-in-law is too strict with me. I usually don't have money to buy tea if I want to drink it. I just want to make some extra money by exterminating rats and save some money for my own house."

"Comrade police officer, please don't tell that person at home, otherwise she will have to skin me!"

"Okay, okay, put your pants on first..."

Lu Ping rubbed the center of his brows distressedly, feeling like he was laughing or crying.

No valuable information was obtained from this inquiry, and it was simply a waste of precious time in solving the case.

He waved his hand and said a few words to Chen Ping:

"Please write down the address of your rodent control customer. If there is still time, we will confirm it tomorrow morning."

"The rest is fine for the time being. You can go and take a rest."

"Hey, okay, okay."

Chen Kang nodded, picked up his pants and walked out of the inquiry room.

······

After a short break.

Lu Ping said to the police officer responsible for hearing the news:
