“What else is wrong?” The guard asked, pretending to be surprised.
“Did you ever leave after you returned Yan Zhengkuan to the guard’s cell?” Tang Huimin looked him straight in the eye.
“No,” the guard replied, “After Yan Zhengkuan came back from going to the toilet, we both stood at the door of the guard’s room the whole time, without even closing our eyes, and without hearing any movement inside.”
“All right.” Tang Huimin did not see anything fishy in the two guards’ expressions, so she said to them, “This is the end of today’s questioning for now, you can now sign and put your fingerprints on the questioning transcript, until the cause of Yan Zhengkuan’s death is ascertained, you are not allowed to go anywhere, you must be at your beck and call, understand?”
“Understood, we are ready to accept Commissioner Tang’s summons.” The two guards said in unison.
“Good then, after you sign the interrogation transcript and put your fingerprints on it, you can go back.” Tang Huimin said, and then asked Su Xiaoling, who was taking the statement, to print out the transcript of the interrogation she had just conducted.
Su Xiaoling pressed the print command button on the computer, and the printer connected to the computer started working, and soon, an interrogation transcript printed out from a4 paper was spat out from the printer.
After Su Xiaoling picked up the interrogation transcript and let Tang Huimin look at it, Tang Huimin felt that there were no problems, so she beckoned the two guards to come over and sign and press their fingerprints.
The two guards stood up from the interrogation bench, went to the interrogation table, and signed and fingerprinted the interrogation transcript with a carbon pen and a box of printing ink handed over by Su Xiaoling.
After completing the formalities, Tang Huimin said to the two guards, “There’s nothing more for you here, you can go for now, but you must come as you are summoned!”
“Thank you!” The two guards thanked Tang Huimin and left the interrogation room.
Gao Feng pushed the door in and asked Tang Huimin, “Director Tang, have they all confessed?”
“Confessed to what?” Tang Huimin asked rhetorically.
“The cause of Yan Zhengkuan’s death?” Yan Zhengkuan said eagerly.
Tang Huimin replied, “From all indications, Yan Zhengkuan’s death had nothing to do with these two guards, so how could they know the cause of Yan Zhengkuan’s death?”
“Then how exactly did Yan Zhengkuan die?” Gao Feng asked tentatively.
“The forensic doctor has already said that it is possible that Yan Zhengkuan died from a brain haemorrhage, myocardial infarction and other diseases, the exact cause of death will not be known until the blood sample examination report comes out.”
Although the two guards had given a more detailed account of what had happened, Tang Huimin felt that there were still some doubts on Yan Zhengkuan’s case.
Therefore, she could not reveal it in front of Summit yet.
“That’s good, I hope the conclusion comes out sooner rather than later, so that I don’t have to be on tenterhooks about the matter.” Gao Feng was somewhat relieved to see that Tang Huimin had not made things difficult for herself on the matter of Yan Zhengkuan’s sudden death.
Suddenly, Tang Huimin turned her words around and said, “Chief Gao, you can take me to the guard room now, we want to get some information about the suspects in the other guard rooms.”
“Huh?” Gao Feng was surprised and asked, “You’re going to …… go to the guard room?”
“Yes, to the guard room!” Tang Hui Min nodded her head heavily and said seriously.
There was really nothing he could do but to lead Tang Huimin and Su Xiaoling’s group to the guardhouse where Yan Zhengkuan had been held.
Tang Huimin examined the guardhouse carefully and found nothing. Asking the suspects in the next guardhouse, she learned from their mouths much the same as the two guards had explained.
“How did Yan Zhengkuan become violently ill and die at this time?” Tang Huimin thought of Lin Kai yesterday through the kidnapping of Yan Zhengkuan’s son, let Yan Zhengkuan’s wife Yang Qiuyue to Yan Zhengkuan, forcing him to reveal the true identity of the chairman of the Dragon Python Group of Companies Zhao Wenlong this matter, heart felt some fishy, so she quietly said to Su Xiaoling: “There must be something wrong here, go, we go to the funeral hall, see the body of the deceased! ”
“Okay.” Su Xiaoling nodded her head knowingly.
Tang Huimin said goodbye to the head of the detention center, Summit, and led Su Xiaoling out of the detention center in a hurry.
……
“Could it be that these two women suspect me?” Looking at Tang Huimin driving away, Gao Feng’s heart was in shock, feeling that this matter was not trivial, his heart was very nervous, he hurriedly took out that special mobile phone of his and dialed Zhao Wenlong’s number.
“Master Long, it’s not good,” Gao Feng reported to Zhao Wenlong in a panic, “Last night, Yan Zhengkuan died in the detention center, Tang Huimin has led the police to come to the detention center to investigate, probably suspect me. …”
“The sky isn’t falling, why are you panicking?” Zhao Wenlong scolded, “Didn’t I tell you that no matter what happens, you have to be calm and never get yourself in a tizzy?”
“Then what should I do now?” Gao Feng asked eagerly.
Zhao Wenlong said unconcernedly, “Just let them investigate, and if Tang Huimin really investigates you, let you send those two guards to be the scapegoats.”
“What does Master Long mean?” Gao Feng asked, puzzled.
“I have already sent someone to keep a close eye on their whereabouts, when the time comes, you do this ……” Zhao Wenlong said after giving some instructions to Gao Feng over the phone, “This time, we must take this opportunity to put them to death See who will dare to go against us in the future?”
“This is a good idea, it is still Master Long who is more considerate, I will now make the arrangements as Master Long has instructed.” Gao Feng said flatteringly.
Although he said so, Gao Feng still had a little bit of weakness because, once he was found out by the police, he would face death just like the other core members of the Dragon State.
……
After Tang Huimin and Su Xiaoling drove away from the detention centre, Tang Huimin said to Su Xiaoling.
“I think Yan Zhengkuan died in a somewhat fishy manner, I don’t believe he died from a cerebral hemorrhage and myocardial infarction, you should call the other two forensic pathologists now and ask them to meet us at the funeral parlour, I want a detailed examination of Yan Zhengkuan’s body!”
Su Xiaoling understood that Tang Huimin was afraid that the two forensic doctors who had just done the autopsy on Yan Zhengkuan had been bribed to replace the forensic doctors, so she nodded and then dialed the phone number of the director of the Chengguan Branch, asking him to dispatch the two forensic doctors at the branch, and after giving some instructions to the forensic doctors on the phone, she hung up the phone.
When the two drove to the funeral parlour on the outskirts of the city, the forensic pathologists had not yet arrived.
Su Xiaoling showed her identification to the staff of the funeral parlour and explained their purpose.
Yan Zhengkuan’s body was placed on a mortuary bed and covered with a white cloth. Tang Huimin came to Yan Zhengkuan’s body and lifted the white cloth covering his upper body.
At this moment, Yan Zhengkuan’s horrible face was in full view, with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, as if he had some grievance to tell.
Tang Huimin has been in the police station for so long, has seen all kinds of dead people, and has been Yan Zhengkuan’s subordinate for so long, she does not feel afraid of Yan Zhengkuan’s dead face, and does not worry about having nightmares at night or anything.
A careful examination of the corpse’s face, chest, abdomen and face revealed nothing wrong.
Thinking of how imposing Yan Zhengkuan was in the Municipal Public Security Bureau during his lifetime, and how ugly his cold body was lying straight after his death, one could not help but sigh and prepare to put the white cloth over it.
