While Su Mo looked at Wang Heng with an expression as if he wanted to eat him up, which made Wang Heng's tone become softer as he spoke.
Chen Gang frowned at Su Mo: "Mr. Su, what's going on? Weren't you told to stay home and wait for your wife? How come you went out beating people again?"
Su Mo looked at Chen Gang with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth: "I asked everyone, and they all said my wife was with Wang Heng last night.
Up until now, my wife still hasn't come back, she must have been taken away by him. I suspect, I suspect, something must have happened to my wife already."
Seeing Su Mo's expression, Chen Gang finally took it seriously and asked: "Your wife still hasn't come back? You still can't reach her on the phone?"
Su Mo nodded heavily, then turned to Wang Heng and shouted: "Speak up, what did you do to my wife?"
As he was about to rush over and hit him again, he was held back by several officers, it would probably take more than one to hold him back, Su Mo was so strong.
Wang Heng kept backing away, explaining: "Wasn't your wife gone home after we finished drinking last night? Could it be, she didn't go home? That shouldn't be right."
Seeing Su Mo's impulsive behavior again, Chen Gang quickly had Wang Heng taken away. He sat next to Su Mo and said: "Mr. Su, it's been over 24 hours now. We can officially file this case now. What do you think, let's go to your house first, then we'll start investigating."
Su Mo absent-mindedly nodded, then went home with Chen Gang.
After Chen Gang entered the house, he first looked around the shoe cabinet, then he inadvertently observed the surroundings in the house, especially the bathroom and bedroom, he looked very carefully.
Then, he began to inquire in detail about what happened from last night until now. When he was done asking everything, he looked at Su Mo and said sincerely:
"Mr. Su, I understand your anxiety. Our police will also do our best to investigate. But you have to promise me one thing, don't go looking for trouble with Wang Heng again.
If he's guilty, we definitely won't let him off easily without you having to do anything. Just stay home and wait for news, can you do that?"
Su Mo's eyes were moist, he nodded at Chen Gang.
After Chen Gang left, Su Mo resumed his original relaxed and carefree demeanor. He stretched lazily and whispered to himself: "Finally I can get a good sleep."
As for the problem of his personality losing control, he noticed it, but since there was no solution, he just brushed it aside and focused on getting a good rest, that was the way.
Two days later, inside a case analysis room at the police station, Chen Gang and several officers sat around a conference table.
A female officer in her twenties said: "Su Mo's wife Zhang Xiaoling went missing on the night of September 9th, according to our investigation over the past two days.
Zhang Xiaoling left with Wang Heng at 10:30 pm on the 9th after parting ways with everyone else. According to Wang Heng's account, around 11 o'clock, he and Zhang Xiaoling parted ways, and Zhang Xiaoling claimed she was going home.
Since the road from the bar to Zhang Xiaoling's home was not far, she didn't take a taxi, but there were no surveillance cameras along the way. So it's impossible to verify if what Wang Heng said was true.
Secondly, according to Su Mo's account, his wife left home at 8pm on the 9th, and had not returned home since. Their home is in an old neighborhood, also without surveillance cameras, so again it's impossible to verify if that was true."
Chen Gang nodded, then looked around at everyone else and said: "Let's hear everyone's thoughts."
A young policeman stood up and said: "Based on the current situation, there are three possibilities with the highest likelihood.
First, Wang Heng was lying. If he lied, then Zhang Xiaoling's disappearance should be related to him.
Second, Su Mo was lying. Similarly, if he lied, Zhang Xiaoling's disappearance should be related to him.
Third, neither of them lied, but on her way home, Zhang Xiaoling encountered villains and met with an accident."
Chen Gang nodded again: "Well said, this is consistent with my analysis. Basically there are these three situations. Let's first discuss the possibility of Su Mo lying. I'll go first.
My judgment is that Su Mo didn't lie. The reasons are as follows:
First, Su Mo reported the case early the next morning. Combined with his performance during this time, his emotions are genuine, with over ten years as a policeman, I still have this level of judgment.
Second, Su Mo's call records show that starting at 11:30 pm on the 9th, he had been constantly calling Zhang Xiaoling, indicating he was looking for her.
Also, we've been to his house twice. There were no signs of blood or struggle inside, which eliminates the possibility of it being a crime scene.
Third, if Su Mo really killed Zhang Xiaoling, how did he make the corpse disappear? This is illogical. Su Mo was a soldier until recently.
He didn't have the capability or experience to deal with the crime scene and corpse after committing murder.
So personally I think the possibility of Su Mo being a suspect can be ruled out."
After Chen Gang finished, the other officers all agreed unanimously, because they thought the same way, it's just that some people didn't think through it as thoroughly as Chen Gang.
Seeing that no one had dissenting opinions, he continued: "Now let's discuss the possibility of Wang Heng. I'll go first again.
In Wang Heng's account, from when he parted with Zhang Xiaoling until the next day, there was no one who could prove he was home during that time.
This is indeed suspicious, but from my understanding of Wang Heng, he doesn't seem like someone who could murder someone and still remain calm, and act out a drama with us.
So in my opinion, the probability of Wang Heng being a suspect is also low."
On this point, the others had differing opinions. After all, the reasons for eliminating Su Mo as a suspect were very sufficient, whereas there were not many reasons to eliminate Wang Heng, only intuition.
Next, everyone began to voice their own views, discussing very thoroughly from the perspectives of evidence, clues, reasoning, and so on.
At Su Mo's home, he was lying on the sofa watching TV programs while smoking, looking completely relaxed and comfortable.
He wasn't worried at all. Firstly, the police wouldn't suspect him. Even if the police did suspect him, it would be futile, because the corpse could never be found, so everything would just be empty talk.
He already knew how this case would unfold - first investigate Wang Heng, then investigate people who recently appeared in Weiyuan County, and finally make a mess of it, go through the motions of investigating Su Mo.
And finally, the case would go unsolved, or some excuse would be made like Zhang Xiaoling left on her own and couldn't be found etc.
In any case, this case just needed to become a cold case. What did Su Mo need to do? Be decadent and listless, everything else only needed waiting.
He had it all planned out, after the case was over, he would leave Weiyuan, and go somewhere else, to start dealing with the matter of the 99 abnormal personalities.
Now he did have a speculation, whether it was right or not, it would depend on how things developed next.
