Gu Hanhao pushed open the door of the interrogation room, sat across from Peng Ze behind the table, he knew that at this moment, behind the large mirror on his back stood a restless Ling Lan.
"Peng Ze, I'm Gu Hanhao, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of Jingjiang Public Security Bureau. This time, I invited you here to ask about the phone call you made to Feng Jia at 10:43 on the 9th of this month. What was the content of the conversation?"
Peng Ze pursed his lips, and a helpless, innocent look appeared on his handsome face, as if he was extremely surprised and timid about being invited here. "I, I, I called her, I wanted to ask for her help, to help me take, not steal, but retrieve something."
Gu Hanhao furrowed his brow and observed Peng Ze. Judging from his appearance, Peng Ze was over 180 cm tall, with a well-proportioned figure and some muscle mass. He had the looks of a celebrity, which also made him have the capital to be a playboy. No wonder Ling Lan was deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself. However, no matter how he looked at Peng Ze, he seemed like just a pretty face, and if not for his exceptional acting skills, he really didn't seem like a ruthless murderer.
"What did you take?" Gu Hanhao asked.
Peng Ze licked his lips, "I wanted her to help me take advantage of Ling Lan, who is my girlfriend, when she wasn't paying attention, and take out her DV. I called Feng Jia this morning, but she didn't agree, and said that the DV was no longer in Ling Lan's hands. I asked her where the DV went, and Feng Jia hesitated, saying she couldn't tell me. I just wanted that DV, okay? I admit it was wrong of me, but my thieving behavior hadn't even been carried out yet, so why did you catch me?"
"Why do you want that DVD?" Gu Hanhao asked, pretending to be unaware.
"Yes, it's because of Ling Lan. She recorded videos of me and the other girls together and sent them to those girls one by one. I have to stop her from doing this, or else...I probably won't be able to keep any of them..." Peng Ze lowered his head, also realizing that his reason was too excessive, his voice getting smaller and smaller until he couldn't speak anymore.
Gu Hanhao leaned forward, somewhat aggressively, "In my opinion, it's not necessarily so. Between 0:00 and 2:00 on the 9th, where were you and what were you doing?"
Peng Ze subconsciously leaned back, succumbing to Gu Hanhao's aura, and replied weakly: "At that time, I was of course sleeping, ah, no, that night my roommates and I were playing games at the Liren Internet cafe at the school gate until 5 am. My roommates can all testify, you can ask them."
"I don't need you to tell me what to do." Gu Hanhao raised his right hand expressionlessly, and a figure behind the large mirror took orders and left.
"Where were you when you called Feng Jia, and was there anyone around during the conversation?" Gu Hanhao continued to press for details.
"I always wait until I'm alone in my dorm room before making the call, after all, this is something I don't want others to hear."
"So think again carefully, was there anything special when you were talking to her?" Gu Hanhao leaned his body back again, asking in a calm tone.
Peng Ze scratched his head, suddenly very excited and said: "Yes, I remember when I called Feng Jia, she seemed to be in a hurry to hang up the phone, saying 'we're all busy with our own things, who has time to care about your broken affairs? If we can get the DV, that would be great, otherwise we won't give it to you.' I also heard Yue Tong's mobile phone ringtone on the phone, Yue Tong said: 'It's him!' Then Feng Jia hung up the phone."
Gu Han's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Peng Ze was really innocent? The key was the sentence "it was him" that Peng Ze had heard.
At this time, the large mirror behind Gu Hanhao emitted two knocking sounds. Gu Hanhao got up and left, saying "Someone will take you out later" without looking back when he reached the door.
Gu Hanhao went out the door and entered another one right next to it, where three people were standing side by side: Ling Lan, Liu Fan, and Yuan Jun.
Yuan Jun spoke first, "I called the internet cafe to verify it. On the night of the incident, they were indeed playing there until 5:55 am. The internet cafe owner said that Peng Ze and his friends were regular customers, and other people who were online at the time can also testify. Peng Ze only went to the bathroom twice during this time, both times for less than five minutes before coming out. It seems he shouldn't be the murderer."
Ling Lan let out a breath and asked Gu Hanhao with some concern, "What do you think? Is Peng Ze still suspicious?"
Gu Hanhao didn't answer, but instead asked: "Who is Jimmy?"
Liu Fan took a look at the call record in his hand, and at the same time when Feng Jia hung up Peng Ze's phone, there was an incoming call on Yue Tong's mobile phone. The person who made this incoming call was named Jimmy. Gu Hanhao's memory was indeed exceptional, and he didn't forget it after just a glance.
Ling Lan replied: "It's our foreign teacher who teaches us English."
Liu Fan widened his eyes, "Foreigner? How tall is he?"
Ling Lan remained calm, "It's a foreigner, about 185 cm tall, but it can't be him."
"Why?" asked Liu Fan, Yuan Jun and Gu Hanhao together to Ling Lan.
Ling Lan took out her phone and opened the address book, finding "Jimmy" and clicking on it to enlarge the photo. It was a picture of a white man, likely under thirty years old, with a youthful appearance and quite handsome. He stood in front of the teaching building's flowerbed, his height indeed around 185 cm, but he only had one leg. He wore a pair of shorts full of tropical flavor, with a knot tied on one side of the pant leg, and the remaining length of the injured leg was probably no more than 20 cm. The blond-haired, blue-eyed teacher beamed with a sunny smile, his powerful arms leaning on a pair of crutches for the disabled.
"It's probably him." Gu Hanhao said in a very low tone, as if he was talking to himself.
"Yes, he may also use a prosthetic limb.

Liu Fan echoed, "Can't rule out the possibility that he committed the crime."
Just as Ling Lan was about to refute, a police officer who had knocked on the door interrupted, "Captain Guo, the taxi driver has been found and brought over."
"Alright, you send Peng Ze out and bring the driver in." Gu Hanhao turned around and said to Yuan Jun, "Yuan Jun, go investigate whether this foreign teacher has an alibi at the time of the incident. Be careful not to alert him, do a discreet investigation."
After Yuan Jun left, Gu Hanghai asked seriously: "Ling Lan, it's obvious that you have a lot of respect for this teacher. Does Yue Tong and Feng Jia know about this too?"
Ling Lan nodded, "I regard him as an idol. Despite his physical disability, he is more optimistic than anyone else."
It's also possible that because of this, Yue Tong and Feng Jia said it was a good thing you didn't see, perhaps they knew that with your personality, if the idolized image in your heart were to collapse, you would definitely say something true out of sadness and anger. It's also because he is a foreigner, and has an obvious disability, appearing on campus is very eye-catching, so naturally he can't go to the telecommunications store to get a new phone card by himself, he can only choose to use his own phone to call and contact them, which is the best choice for him. Gu Hanhao said as he opened the door and left, because on the other side of the surveillance window, a thin, pointed-mouthed young man with a prominent jaw was already seated.
