Chapter 29 Hostage-taking
The clues Qi Lei and others were looking for were finally obtained.
When he and Su Xiaoxiao reviewed the scene that day, he discovered that there was a surveillance camera installed on the balcony of a house on the opposite building. Judging from the location of the surveillance camera, it should be able to capture the balcony of Room 302.
If there was a third person at the scene, he or she should have climbed over the balcony and broken the glass to enter the room.
They contacted the resident of that house, who was a single man living there. He was on a business trip and would not be back for a few days.
He said that he did install surveillance cameras because he often travels on business and is worried about safety, so he installed surveillance cameras on the balcony and in the room so that he would know what happened in case something happened.
Today, when he got home, he checked the surveillance footage and indeed saw some things in it, so he hurriedly sent it to them.
In the interrogation room.
Qi Lei showed the surveillance video to Qiu Yan.
After seeing this, Qiu Yan's face turned pale and she finally admitted that Qiu Mingzhang was also at the scene and that he was the murderer.
"That day, Xue Pingyang got drunk and beat me again. No one responded when I cried for help because the neighbors were used to it. Someone had called the police for me before, but after the police left, he went to settle accounts with them and threatened others not to meddle in other people's business. After that, no one cared.
Except that I didn't kill the person, everything else I said is true.
I don't know how he got here. I was stunned when he came in and pulled Xue Pingyang away. When he saw that I was injured like this, he was so angry that he stabbed Xue Pingyang with a knife. I didn't even react when Xue Pingyang fell down.
He was about to turn himself in, but I suddenly couldn't bear it. No matter how much I hated him, he was still my father.
And I know that although I asked him to stay away from me and he didn't show up on the surface, he was actually often guarding nearby, otherwise he would not have been able to break in in the middle of the night.
It was me who had to take the blame for the murder, because as long as I fabricated some evidence, I could be deemed to have acted in self-defense, and we would both be fine. Also, I was pregnant, which was very powerful for me.
I called Officer Su to ask her to help me prove that Xue Pingyang was not dead and that I was being assaulted. In fact, it was my father who kicked the door and we faked the scene.
I'm sorry, Officer Su, I took advantage of you."
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. She had known for a long time that she was being used, but she still felt uncomfortable hearing someone say it in person. She knew that her charm was not that great.
They decided to arrest Qiu Mingzhang immediately, but at this moment, 110 received a call that someone had taken hostages in the Honghui office building and police had to be dispatched to rescue them immediately.
Honghui Office Building is one of the most upscale office buildings in Jingzhong City, located in the CBD center area of the north city.
When they arrived at the scene, many people had already gathered downstairs of the Honghui office building, and they were all looking at the roof.
There were two men standing there, one standing outside the rooftop railing and the other standing inside the railing.
Qi Lei and his friends quickly reached the rooftop.
When they saw the faces of the two men clearly, they were all shocked. No one had expected that Qiu Mingzhang, whom they wanted to arrest, was the person who took the hostages, and the hostage was actually Hu Weiqiang.
Hu Weiqiang's hands were tied behind his back, his back pressed against the guardrail, his feet on the edge, which was very narrow and could only fit half of his foot. He was so frightened that he leaned back as far as possible. His glasses were gone, and the mole between his eyebrows was particularly obvious.
Qiu Mingzhang was holding the rope that bound his hands. If he let go, Hu Weiqiang would fall.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll let go."
Seeing someone coming up, Qiu Mingzhang stopped them from coming forward, and his face looked very calm.
In contrast to his calmness, Hu Weiqiang, who was standing on the edge, was so scared that his legs went limp and he was shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Listen to him, don't come over here!!!"
"Qiu Mingzhang, I will agree to whatever you say. Please don't let go!!!"
At this time, in addition to the police, some media reporters also rushed to the scene and set up cameras downstairs. The hijacking incident spread quickly and topped the hot search list.
Su Xiaoxiao knew that Qiu Mingzhang would take action, but she didn't expect him to take such a drastic approach.
This old case happened more than 20 years ago. Times have changed. Even then, no evidence could be found, let alone now. Perhaps only this method can present the truth to the world.
"Uncle Zhang, don't be impulsive! Just let us know if you have any requests, and we will do our best to satisfy you!"
Su Xiaoxiao shouted in a pretentious manner. In fact, with her top-level rock climbing ability, she could climb up from the lower level and rescue Hu Weiqiang. However, she would not do that. Today, she had to cooperate with Uncle Zhang and expose Hu Weiqiang's true face.
Qi Lei glared at her and warned her not to be so obvious, although he also wanted to know the truth.
"My request is very simple. I hope you can call all the people who tried my case, including the judge, prosecutor, police and the victim, and let them hear the truth together."
"Okay, I promise you."
Qi Lei ordered people to find Xu Yajun, Liu Tang, Sun Tingfa and Chen Lin. He had just read the case files and still remembered these people.
Hu Weiqiang, hanging outside the railing, had a pale face. He knew that his career might be ruined today.
When he took on the case of Qiu Yan, he didn't know that she was Qiu Mingzhang's daughter. This kind of case was not a difficult task for him.
Senior lawyers like him seldom do work like reviewing case files. They usually send their young lawyers to do it, and he only needs to attend the court hearings.
Today, Qiu Mingzhang came to his office and only said that Qiu Yan's father wanted to learn about the case. When the front desk notified him, he didn't take it seriously. It is understandable that family members would be anxious when encountering problems. He came to see him, ready to send him away with a few words and that would be the end of the matter.
When he saw Qiu Mingzhang in the reception room, he didn't recognize him at all.
Qiu Mingzhang's appearance is very different from that of the past. Not only does he look old, but there is also a long scar on his face, which is the mark left on him by more than 20 years of imprisonment.
He just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, but he didn't expect him to give his name.
Qiu Mingzhang, a name he could never forget. This name had tortured him in his dreams over the years.
But before he could react, Qiu Mingzhang subdued him. He couldn't beat him back then, and the same is true now.
Qiu Mingzhang tied his hands behind his back, put a knife to his neck and forced him to the roof. The girl at the front desk screamed in fear and then called the police.
Today they will find out that the famous "vindication" lawyer is actually a robber who has escaped the net for many years. How ironic.
Hu Weiqiang wondered if he should jump down himself, that way at least he could save some face, but since ancient times, the only hard thing is death, and he didn't want to die yet. His legs were so weak that he didn't even have the courage to jump down.
Just when he was struggling with his thoughts, there was a noise coming from the stairs. The person Qiu Mingzhang was looking for had arrived.
