Leichenbergung - Kapitel 45
When the detention order was announced to Qu Baoyuan, he thought for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing:
"Don't give me that crap! Do you have any evidence? Show me your evidence!"
Wang Liguo stared wide-eyed and said:
"If you keep acting like a big shot, I'll get rough with you! You've made me suffer so much, I'd rather quit being a policeman, it's either you or me who dies!"
Qu Baoyuan glanced at Wang Liguo, then turned to the other officers and said:
"Tell him to get out! I won't leave even if I say nothing!"
Wang Liguo frowned and gave a cold laugh:
"DNA testing has proven you are the criminal! Let me tell you, DNA evidence is just as valuable as fingerprints. Even if you don't confess, the court can still find you guilty. You can deny everything, and we'll still declare the case solved!"
After saying that, he walked out of the Criminal Investigation Brigade office.
The interrogation lasted for four days, but Qu Baoyuan remained tight-lipped, and there was no breakthrough.
That day, Wang Liguo and Xiao Li interrogated him again, with Xiao Li taking notes.
Qu Baoyuan remained defiant, keeping his head down and refusing to look at Wang Liguo, refusing to utter a word no matter what was asked.
Wang Liguo noticed that Qu Baoyuan always avoided his eyes. He wanted to catch his gaze, but it was like trying to catch a mudfish in a basin. He could see it and touch it, but he just couldn't hold it in his hand because it was too slippery!
Wang Liguo also discovered that there were times when his gaze and Qu Baoyuan's gaze would occasionally meet, at which point he would show particular panic, or even fear.
He couldn't understand what was going on. Later, he told Xiao Li about it, and Xiao Li said, "I've noticed it too. He's not just afraid of you, he's terrified of you. I'm also wondering, where does your arrogance come from?"
Although Qu Baoyuan was afraid of Wang Liguo, he still didn't say a word. Perhaps it was precisely because he was afraid of him that he dared not speak.
Wang Liguo noticed that he had looked away again, as if he was lost in thought, and blurted out:
"You pervert! You think you can get away with it just by denying it?..."
Before Wang Liguo could continue, Qu Baoyuan suddenly shouted:
"I'm not a psychopath! I'm not! I'm not..."
Wang Liguo immediately realized that he had hit his weak point:
"You're a pervert! A sexual pervert!"
Qu Baoyuan's face was flushed, his neck was thick, and he was panting heavily. He then whispered:
"No, I'm not a pervert, I'm not a sexual pervert, I'm a normal person... You can say I killed someone, but I didn't commit necrophilia. I'm not a pervert, I'm not a pervert."
Wang Liguo was very surprised. Wasn't this just like him trying to hide something obvious?
"How can you prove you're not a psychopath? How can you prove you're a normal person?"
Wang Liguo noticed that he was wavering and wanted to speak, so he gestured for Xiao Li to light a cigarette for him.
"Thank you, police officer!" Qu Baoyuan took the cigarette, took two deep drags, and stared at his hand holding the cigarette, which was trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing how nervous he was, Wang Liguo knew he must be parched, so he immediately got up, made him a cup of tea, and placed it in front of him.
"Thank you, Captain Wang! Thank you, Captain Wang!"
Qu Baoyuan hurriedly blew on the hot tea, and after taking two small sips, he looked up at Wang Liguo and said:
"I'm sure I can be your informant, police officer!"
Wang Liguo and Xiao Li were taken aback by what he said. He hadn't spoken for days, yet he uttered such a sentence, leaving them both amused and exasperated.
"I can spot a man and a woman on the street, even if they're not a couple, with my sharp eyes. I especially hate women who have affairs with men. I can spot a woman who's not respectable just by looking into her eyes. Why are there so many disreputable women?"
Qu Baoyuan took another drag of his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and stomped it out.
“That day, I was really annoyed, really annoyed, I can’t even explain it. I can’t remember the exact date, but it was a Saturday at the end of June. The woman was in an alley, and the man gave her some money, I think it was a thousand yuan. The man took her home, and I don’t know what I was thinking, but I followed them to the apartment building on Yonghong Street in Gujing District. They went upstairs together, and the light in the dark room on the top floor came on. The man didn’t come out for a long time. I listened to the door, but I couldn’t hear anything. After a long time, I heard some noises inside. The man said it was getting late and he had to go back. He told me to call him if I needed anything. I rushed downstairs and rode my bike halfway there. I don’t know where I got the courage, but I was determined to go back to that place. I wanted to see what kind of person that woman was, and what was going on with her. I thought I was too timid to carry a hammer, so I bought two bottles of beer from a street vendor and sat down to drink. After I finished drinking, I felt braver and rode my bike there. When I got inside, she heard me and woke up. She took a knife and stabbed me. I had no choice but to kill her.”
"How did you get in? Where did you get in from?"
He thought for a moment:
"Her door wasn't locked; it just opened with a push." Then he shook his head, as if he really couldn't remember, "I can't really say how she got in."
What shoes are you wearing?
He seemed to be recalling:
"leather shoes."
Wang Liguo suddenly raised his voice:
"You're lying! No wonder people call you a psychopath. Can a psychopath tell the truth? Can a psychopath not lie?"
Qu Baoyuan's face turned red and his neck thickened with anger:
"I'm not a psychopath, I'm not!"
Wang Liguo stared intently at him and said slowly and deliberately:
"No? If you're not, then tell the truth! Normal people tell the truth; only psychopaths lie!"
Qu Baoyuan thought for a long time, then let out a long sigh:
