It seems that the matter has already spread widely in the surrounding area.
The police station has also started to intervene in the investigation.
They must first start the investigation with people who have a lending relationship with the old woman, so it won't be long before it's my turn to be called in for questioning. I need to think carefully and not tell the truth. If I tell the truth, I won't be able to repay her the principal and interest I owe, and then I would have a clear motive!
I'm not worried about my testimony during the investigation, but whether anyone saw me in a panic when I escaped that day. I'm sure those three people who went upstairs had no idea I was there. But what if, what if someone saw me or followed me on the way back out the door? Then I wouldn't be sure.
I was indeed scared at the time. There was no one around when I left, so I hurried back without paying attention to my surroundings. I need to quickly hide all those things at home. In case they come to search my house after questioning me, it would be troublesome if they find those things. I need to quickly go home and hide those things.
At this moment, I am more concerned about whether I will go to jail or be executed. Those things don't seem as attractive to me as they did before. I can't understand what I did. Even when I'm sober, I don't understand how I was so obsessed and raised the axe, and then it came down with a blow!
I am really scared because I don't know what will happen next. The only thing I can do now is to deny that I did this. It's better for me to stay indoors these days, and if I go out, I can't go in her direction. I'm afraid of running into acquaintances or hearing some unfavorable news.
Taliesin has been quite noisy lately. The more anxious and upset I am, the more she wants to add fuel to the fire. I don't have the leisure to worry about everything she does now. I brought her some food to her room, but she started making trouble for no reason, saying some irrelevant nonsense, and clinging to me, not letting me leave.
I really had no choice, so I tied up her hands and feet to make her quiet for a while. Then I rushed out the door.
Where should I hide those things on me? As I walked and pondered, I remembered there was a place, a waste disposal site, with a wide and deserted courtyard. I arrived there, and the courtyard was littered with all sorts of discarded waste.
I'm worried that one day someone might come to clean up the garbage here and I'll have worked for nothing!
In the end, I targeted an old tree outside the courtyard. The trunk was thick, with a diameter that could easily fit three people hugging it. I used an axe to carve out a hole at the base of the tree, wrapped the things up, hid them inside, buried them with a thin layer of dry soil on top. No one could see any trace of it.
Now my heart has finally settled down, and I feel a bit of security!
On the morning of the third day, I was in Zhangjian's office sorting out documents when defendant told me that I had received a call from the police station asking me to come over. I knew that I couldn't escape this questioning. The police officer in charge of this case is named Charles, and he is a very famous local investigator for criminal cases. Many difficult cases have been solved with his assistance. So, everyone is familiar with his name.
People habitually associate him with words like justice, wisdom, courage, and severity! Everyone knows that when he does something, it's completely reliable! Any case he personally handles will definitely be thoroughly investigated!
This opponent is not easy to deal with, I'm a little nervous... In the afternoon, I was called to the interrogation room, and sitting across from me was Officer Charles.
"Introduce yourself, but I already know some information about you! One important thing is your borrowing relationship with old woman! Please explain in detail! Also, when was the last time you saw her?"
"There's nothing much to say about the borrowing, right? I used things as collateral, and she willingly lent me the money, eating up two percent interest, almost eating me up! Everyone who has a borrowing relationship with her knows this, and you have already questioned some people. I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"
I responded fluently!
"The last time I saw her was the day before the accident. Yes, I went to see her that day. I gave her the interest money!"
"Tell me about your conversation!"
"Do you have to do this, officer?" I looked very helpless, "What did she do to offend someone, to suffer such a cruel fate? It's truly horrifying!"
"Please answer my question! Don't answer anything else. What do you mean by changing the subject like this? I study psychology, and I will doubt your motives!" Charles stared at me with a fierce look. I was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. His gaze left me at a loss for words, as if he could see through my inner thoughts! I regained my composure and continued to answer his question.
"I'm going to settle the interest for this month and bring along some other collateral to see if it can be used to offset the interest! You know my wife has a lot of jewelry, she doesn't use them now, but they cost a lot of money when she bought them! That's the situation, officer!"
"Bring in the people who were interrogated today and let them get to know each other! Hurry up!" A young person nearby quickly went to arrange it!
After about 10 minutes, five people were brought over, including the three who were at the scene of the incident.
"Take a look and see if you all recognize each other!"
Six people looking at each other, scrutinizing each other!
"The police officer doesn't recognize me!"
"I don't know...!"
"I've seen that police officer before!" Suddenly, one of them looked at me and pointed at me with his finger.
My heart was pounding, and I tried to appear calm and composed in front of Charles, so as not to reveal any flaws in front of her. She's very clever.
"Oh, you've met him. When?"
"I can't remember the specifics, but it seems like it's been three or four months! As soon as he said this, the others all sighed, and I also breathed a sigh of relief."
"It's been several months, what's the use of talking about what you said!" One of them rolled their eyes at him.
"It doesn't matter, just tell us what happened at that time!" Charles said.
"I saw him lingering downstairs at the old woman's building for quite a while. I don't know if he went upstairs later, but I happened to have something to do so I left!"
"Based on my preliminary judgment, the murderer of the old woman may be hiding among those of you who had financial dealings with her. I will continue to talk to these people next. Maybe I will call on you at some point, so please cooperate actively. You can go home for now!"
Charles Let's leave a few of us...
