Chapter 392 False Confession
With Caesar leading the way, Lin Xinyi and Belmod followed all the way.
They climbed over this small hill and unknowingly walked out of the mountain forest and came to a narrow road paved with cement in the mountain village.
"It's a cement road. The footprints are broken here."
This is another bad news.
If before they found the murderer, the other party walked on the grass and mud and left footprints.
Just relying on this series of footprints leading from the crime scene can prove that the other party is the murderer.
But unfortunately, there is a narrow mountain village road at this end of the mountain.
After the murderer emerged from the forest, he walked onto the road, and his footprints disappeared here.
and. This road is surrounded by mountains and forests on one side and a small river on the other.
This small river seems to be quite deep and the flow rate is not slow. It is a very suitable place for destroying evidence.
"If the guy throws all the physical evidence such as pistols and shoes into the river, I'm afraid they will be washed away by the river soon."
"Even if we can recover the physical evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to extract biological samples that can prove the identity of the murderer from these things soaked and washed by the river water."
Lin Xinyi said the worst possibility with a solemn expression.
At the same time, he and Belmod's pursuit did not slow down at all.
Finally, after running forward for a certain distance along this mountain village road, Caesar, who was leading the way by smelling the smell, stopped in front of a mountain village hut that suddenly appeared on the roadside.
"Woof woof woof!"
Caesar was walking back and forth in the doorway of the room.
It sniffed the ground from time to time, and finally fixed its gaze firmly on the door.
"Be careful." Belmod tightened his grip on the gun.
She was preparing to take the lead for Lin Xinyi and try to break into this suspicious cottage.
But at this moment, the closed door opened by itself.
A long-haired middle-aged man walked out, yawning, wearing a suit shirt and a sports coat outside.
"Where did the dog come from? It's so noisy barking here."
The long-haired man opened the door while talking to himself.
Then when he opened the door, he saw two guns pointed at his head:
"This this"
He raised his hands palely:
"Don't shoot! If you want money, just go inside and get it!"
The long-haired man's face was full of horror, and he looked like an ordinary citizen being robbed at gunpoint.
"Stop acting."
"Your acting skills are so bad that I want to pull the trigger right now."
Belmod curled his lips disdainfully:
"I know that you are the so-called 'big brother', and not long after you escaped here, we chased you to the door."
"Because time is so tight, you didn't even have time to change your clothes."
As she spoke, Belmod used her teasing eyes to look at the strange outfit on this long-haired man:
On the outside, he was casually wearing a sports coat, but underneath he was wearing a shirt that should be paired with a suit.
Apparently, this guy left his suit jacket at the scene and fled here wearing a close-fitting shirt.
After being chased to the door by Lin Xinyi, he hurriedly grabbed a sports coat and put it on, and began to pretend that he had nothing to do with the fugitive.
"Woof woof woof!"
Caesar barked at the long-haired man, confirming Belmode's suspicion.
"." The long-haired man's expression froze.
After a period of silence, he finally forced out a flattering smile:
"Miss, you, what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all."
"You said I just 'escaped here'? Did you find the wrong person?"
"I am just an ordinary villager, and this is my home."
"If you don't believe it, come in and take a look."
The long-haired man stepped aside, and Lin Xinyi took the opportunity to look inside:
Sure enough, there was a photo of this long-haired man hanging on the wall of the entrance to this family's home.
This is really his home.
It's not like a house that a fugitive randomly breaks into while on the run.
Did Caesar really make a mistake? Is this just an ordinary villager living nearby?
As soon as Lin Xinyi had such an idea in his mind, Belmode sneered disdainfully:
"Hey, so what if this is your home?"
"The cave is so secluded that you can think of hiding your companion's body there."
"This shows that you are very familiar with the terrain nearby, and you may even be a local person."
"This is your home and you are a fugitive murderer. These two things are not inconsistent."
"I" the long-haired man was speechless for a moment.
When he saw Belmode's eyes filled with indifference and ridicule, he knew that he could no longer pretend.
So he simply stopped acting and asked with an ugly face:
"If you don't understand, you just don't understand."
"If you want to say I'm a murderer, you have to provide evidence, right?"
Belmod didn't speak, just looked to the side.
Of course she couldn't produce any evidence, so Lin Xinyi had to take action.
Lin Xinyi was not in a hurry to give the answer:
"Hold on."
He looked at the long-haired man coldly:
"We will officially start the investigation when the police arrive."
"If you are really innocent, please cooperate with our work. Is that okay?"
"I" the long-haired man felt guilty for no reason, but he still answered bravely:
"Cooperate, of course you are a good person if you cooperate with me!"
Lin Xinyi and Belmode monitored the long-haired man and did not let him have another chance to make any small moves.
As early as when the two sides faced off with guns outside the camping site, Dr. Ali had already called the police.
So it didn't take long for the police from the local police station to arrive at the cottage under Lin Xinyi's communication and guidance.
It was only then that Lin Xinyi began to confront the long-haired man:
"Sir, I have a few questions for you."
"You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say to any police officer may be used as evidence against you in court."
"Well" the long-haired man interrupted his warning impatiently:
"Are you filming a TV series? You talk so much nonsense."
"If you have anything to ask, just ask!"
"Okay." Lin Xinyi looked much more relaxed.
The other party was so impatient, obviously he was shocked by his calm attitude. As time went by, he gradually began to doubt himself——
He panicked.
A disturbed suspect is definitely easier to deal with than a suspect with a solid psychological defense.
And what Lin Xinyi just said was not nonsense, nor was it a meaningless TV drama line.
Because as the "Miranda Warning" says
What the suspect says in front of the police has different meanings and can be used as evidence in court.
That's why Lin Xinyi didn't rush to expose the long-haired man's true identity. Instead, he waited until the police arrived at the scene before confronting him in a way that could be regarded as a formal interrogation.
"Name?"
"Okada Taichiro."
"age?"
"39."
"Profession?"
"Eh, freelancing."
"."
Lin Xinyi asked a series of irrelevant questions to dispel the other party's vigilance and form a fixed mindset of answering all questions.
Then, he suddenly asked:
"Where were you and what were you doing in the past few hours?"
"I'm here." The long-haired man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly answered the answer he had thought of: "I'm at home, lying on the sofa and taking a nap."
"Oh?" Lin Xinyi showed a playful look:
"That is to say, you have never been to the back hill of your house today, have never seen those corpses, and don't you know those dead people?"
He deliberately put 'never been to the back mountain', 'never seen the body' and 'didn't know the deceased' in one sentence and asked them together.
This is taking advantage of criminals' escapism.
When asked a key question such as "Do you know the deceased?" In order to show that they have nothing to do with the matter, criminals will most likely answer firmly no.
In the process of denial, in order to completely distance themselves from the relationship with the case, they often subconsciously answer that they have never been to the scene and have never seen the body.
Sure enough, the long-haired man's answer was:
"No, I don't know anyone who died. I haven't been to the back mountain today at all, and I didn't see any corpses."
"That's good."
Lin Xinyi's expression quietly became relaxed:
If the suspect just makes up an excuse and says that he has been to the back mountain today, then this problem will be difficult to solve.
However, under the witness of many police officers, he left a false testimony that he had never been to the scene.
This one is already half stable.
The problem has quietly changed from how to prove that the long-haired man committed the murder to how to prove that he went to the scene of the crime.
The latter is obviously easier to do than the former.
As long as we can find a way to overturn his false testimony and prove that he lied to the police, the case will almost be solved.
Because this kind of self-contradictory confession is in itself a piece of evidence that is extremely detrimental to the prisoner when put in court.
"Mr. Okada."
Lin Xinyi looked at the long-haired man with bright eyes:
"It seems that you are really confident in the counter-reconnaissance preparations you made."
"I" the long-haired man refused to let go: "Don't talk nonsense! Where is the evidence, the evidence that can prove that I killed someone?"
"Don't worry."
Lin Xinyi paused for a moment and asked in a serious tone:
"You said you have never been to the crime scene, right?"
"Then if I can find evidence that you have been to the scene, how should you explain it?"
The second is later
