Film and Television: My Cheat Code is AI

When Ji Jie pushed the door open and came in, Tian Rui was drinking water from a cup.

"Tian Rui, do not request an arrest for now."

Tian Rui put down her cup, a few drops of water splashing out. "Ah? Lao He has already submitted the materials, maybe it's already been approved."

Ji Jie picked up her water glass and said, "Go quickly and call someone to retrieve it."

Tian Rui stood up, the chair leg scraping against the tiles with a sharp sound. "Why?"

Just then, Old Zheng pushed the door open and came in, a cigarette between his fingers. He glanced at the two of them and asked, "What's going on?"

Ji Jie looked at Lao Zheng and said, "Jiang Dali's motive for murder is questionable."

"What's the problem?" Tian Rui put her pen on the table. "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, the technical department called. The saliva found on the cigarette holder from Zhongnanhai at the scene belongs to Jiang Dali. All the evidence proves that Jiang Dali was with Lin Ying that night."

Ji Jie said, "Zhang Yang is right, Lin Ying is pregnant with Jiang Dali's child."

Old Zheng took the cigarette out of his mouth. "What? Lin Ying's three-month-old baby is Jiang Dali's?"

Ji Jie nodded. "Jiang Dali's mother told me this. Think about it, would a man suddenly kill the woman he's always loved?"

Tian Rui said, "Then maybe if Jiang Dali can't have her, he'll just destroy her."

Ji Jie looked at Tian Rui, her tone becoming more serious, "Would he stab his own flesh and blood nine times?"

"What wouldn't a person like him do?"

"Tian Rui." Ji Jie's voice lowered, not in a lecturing tone, but in the seriousness of a veteran investigator to a junior, "You can't let personal feelings interfere with the investigation anymore. If you speak so casually before the facts are clear, the public's emotions will be stirred up, which can easily lead to subjective assumptions and create obstacles for us to find out the truth."

Tian Rui pushed her chair back and stood up. "I just said it casually? What did I say? I said he's a criminal suspect, not a murderer. Am I mixing in personal feelings? Aren't you also playing the good guy in front of the Jiang family? Don't forget, Lin Ying is the victim, and her mother is the one who suffers the most." After saying that, she grabbed the notebook on the table, turned around and left, slamming the door shut behind her.

Old Zheng stood in the middle of the room, looking around. "What's all the noise about? Can't you calm down?"

Zhang Yang stood up. "Report, I request to begin an investigation into Lin Ying's husband, Li Ming."

Yang Zhen chased after him. Old Zheng ignored Zhang Yang and said to Ji Jie, "You, Ji Jie. If she's wrong, it's your fault too. Who do you think you are? Do you think you can be like her? You've been a veteran investigator for many years. You know better than anyone when a case needs to be sent for prosecution and arrest. You brought it back right after it was sent there. That's embarrassing. No way, it won't pass my scrutiny. You better get clean and produce evidence to prove your judgment."

Old Zheng stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, turned to look at Zhang Yang, and said, "And you, Zhang Yang. You only cared about your own ideas and didn't verify your judgments. You're wrong too. Why didn't you verify them? Those testimonies against Jiang Dali, you thought they were problematic, but did you verify them?"

Zhang Yang sat there, listening to Lao Zheng's words, one after another. He didn't argue, but went over his actions over the past few days in his mind. He said he suspected Li Ming at the restaurant, and that was it; he felt that Grandpa Zhang's testimony was unreliable, and he hadn't even gone to the scene to verify it. He nodded and said in a low voice, "It's my problem."

Ji Jie turned her head and called out, "Ding Jian."

"Hey." Ding Jian poked half his body in from the doorway.

"Prepare the interrogation room, and bring up Jiang Dali again."

Zhang Yang stood up and walked to Ji Jie's side. "Sister Ji, let's go to that construction site tonight. Grandpa Zhang said he could still see Lin Ying's face clearly from over a hundred meters away. He's a man in his sixties or seventies, how can his eyesight be so good? Or is there lighting at the construction site?"

Ji Jie thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you go with Ding Jian tonight. It's not dark yet, let's interrogate Jiang Dali first."

"What about Li Ming's side..."

"Let's not investigate Li Ming first." Ji Jie picked up the notebook on the table. "Let's get to the bottom of Jiang Dali's matter first."

……

It wasn't even evening yet when Yang Zhen said, "Zhang Yang, Chang Baole, you two come with me."

Once in the car, Yang Zhen said, "Go and bring Zhao Hong back."

Upon arriving at the New Moon residential complex, they took Zhao Hong upstairs and led her away. At this moment, Zhao Hong's husband, Zhang Zhihua, ran downstairs and said, "Officer, you've made a mistake. Zhao Hong is Niu Niu's biological mother."

Yang Zhen said, "If you'd like, you can come with us."

Upon arriving at the interrogation room, Yang Zhen arranged for Zhang Zhihua to stay in the adjacent monitoring room before returning to the interrogation room himself.

At this time, Zhang Yang learned about Niu Niu's autopsy report. There was a substance called sedative in her body. A two-year-old child was given sedatives and then burned to death in bed.

"Name."

"Zhao Hong".

"age?"

"Twenty-eight."

"Work unit?"

Zhao Hong smiled happily, "I don't have a job, my husband supports me."

Yang Zhen smiled when he heard this. Chang Baole was taking notes, while Zhang Yang sat to the side observing.

"Your husband treats you well."

Zhao Hong said, "Stop beating around the bush. I know why you called me here today. To tell you the truth, my daughter..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang looked up at Zhao Hong.

"I'm an orphan. My parents were killed in the earthquake. My husband is the person who loves me the most in this world. He's not just my husband..." Zhao Hong said with a smile, "You wouldn't believe it, but he even accompanies me to the bathroom in the middle of the night. As for me, it seems like I only live for my husband. I feed him, I help him get dressed. You can't even imagine how happy and sweet our life is."

Yang Zhen asked, "What you described must have happened before your daughter Niu Niu was born, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hong's expression changed completely. "That's right, ever since that little girl came along, Zhang Zhihua's attention has shifted away from me..."

"Could I have some water?"

Chang Baole poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Hong directly, spilling water on her hand. "What kind of attitude is that?"

Chang Baole remained silent, only glancing at Yang Zhen.

At this moment, Zhao Hong stood up and said, "I think you're a pretty good person. I've told you the truth, so shouldn't you let me go home now?"

Chang Baole slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying, "You're not allowed to leave."

Zhao Hong laughed and said, "Oh, trying to scare me? Trying to arrest me? Don't think I don't know the law. You'll have to produce evidence. But one day I was quite puzzled as to why you suspected me."

Yang Zhen then said, "Just because you made that extra phone call, you enjoyed the soup at the old courtyard last night, didn't you?"

"Oh, I remember now," Zhao Hong said. "You were next to me when I called Hua Hua, right?"

"Your daughter just died a day ago and you're already going out to eat like nothing happened. Aren't you being a little too happy too soon?"

Zhao Hong's expression changed, and she said, "Oh dear, it's all my fault. I should have hidden my feelings. But I really admire you police officers."

"Another day, another day I'll have my husband treat you to dinner." Zhao Hong said, standing up to leave.

Yang Zhen said, "Stop. We wouldn't have invited you here without evidence."

"Evidence?" Zhao Hong asked. "What evidence?"

Yang Zhen asked, "What did you give your child to eat for lunch on the day of the incident?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hong seemed to remember something, and Yang Zhen continued, "You didn't expect that, did you? There's still some medicine left in the child's stomach."

Zhao Hong said, "You've found the sleeping pills."

How did you know it was sleeping pills?

Yang Zhen slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "You're such a good actor! I even advised you not to cry back then. This little girl is only two years old, just two years old, and you're her biological mother."

Zhao Hong suddenly erupted, and two policewomen behind her grabbed her as she shouted, "I don't care who she is, I will never allow anyone to share my husband's love with me!"
