Chapter 16 Chapter 16 The interrogation of Lin Hai’s confession...

Xulin City Police Department.

As soon as the people in the bureau came to work today, they heard crying and screaming from the interrogation room from time to time, which made them curious.

"Who are you trying? Why is it starting so early?"

Although it was common for them as criminal police to conduct interrogations in the middle of the night, there hadn't been any major cases recently, so why was there such a big commotion this morning?

It's really a bit abnormal.

"I don't know. I just heard Captain Zheng's voice."

"Hey, you guys are late, but you didn't realize the people from the Anxi Municipal Bureau are here. They're right inside. Don't you know how awful their leader is..."

The man was at a loss for words. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a word, "fashionable."

"ah?"

Is the focus a bit off? Besides, people don’t dress that much these days. I can’t really imagine how fashionable someone is, and I don’t care too much about it.

"Who is being tried then?"

"Lin Hai."

"Fuck, he actually caught this slippery thing?"

They were not unfamiliar with Lin Hai. He had passed through the hands of many people. It was a pity that he had become more and more like a loach over the years and could not be found at all.

Now that he has finally been caught, it is hard not to be curious about how he was caught and how this person from Anxi came to their side.

At that time, the news did not spread so quickly. Besides, the escape of the prisoners from the prison van happened only yesterday, just one day. Only the senior leaders of several nearby cities knew about the news. It had not spread among them yet, and they had no idea what had happened.

Even the people who came from Anxi City in the morning couldn't tell what the reason was. Seeing that there was no new news, they all went about their own business.

After all, there is still a lot of work to do in the bureau.

The howling of this forest is so miserable that every time I pass by it, I get scared and my heart beats fast, which makes me very uncomfortable.

At this moment, in the interrogation room, Lin Hai was howling non-stop, almost crying out all the tears he had shed over the past thirty years.

"It really wasn't me. No matter how bad I am, I wouldn't dare to kill anyone—"

He cried so heart-wrenchingly that it didn't look like he was acting.

When Zheng Zhiyong joined them in arresting someone in the morning, he never expected that the other party was involved in a serious murder case. He was already annoyed with Lin Hai, and now he was even more unhappy. He slammed the table with his palm as big as a palm fan, glared at him, and spoke in a very fierce tone.

"Tell me the truth, did you kill him?"

Lin Hai cried even harder, "I really didn't kill him."

"If you say you didn't kill him, then it's true. If you didn't kill him, how do you know he's dead?"

Lin Hai felt like he was going to die of injustice. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and whimpered, "No... I... really didn't..."

Seeing him being so embarrassed, Zheng Zhiyong's forehead was wrinkled so much that it could pinch a fly to death.

Ji Mingcheng's expression didn't change from beginning to end. He just tapped the table lightly. His face with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, which was a little too exquisite, seemed to be in a different level from them. Even people of the same sex found it pleasing to the eye.

However, Lin Hai did not forget that this man was extremely cruel, especially since his shoulder was still hurting terribly. When he saw this man suddenly smile, he was so scared that he trembled and dared not make a fool of himself again.

"Tell me what happened from beginning to end." Ji Mingcheng stopped laughing and asked.

Lin Hai still had cold sweat on his face, but he started to get stressed when he heard about this. However, compared with the potential threat and the threat of being misunderstood and possibly sentenced to death, the latter was obviously more urgent.

"I, I, I...I said."

"Jia Honghe asked me to take him to the south for business, and I had no reason to refuse. After we agreed to get his money, I kept working on it. We also...we agreed to leave on the evening of the 20th. But he didn't show up that night. I got tired of waiting, so I called him."

"Yes, you can check the call records. Jia Honghe does have a cell phone. He spent a lot of money to buy it just so that he could contact his family after arriving in the south."

"I was anxious that day too. Everyone else was waiting, and he wasn't the only one. I got angry and called him. I called him several times but he didn't answer, which made me even angrier. I thought I'd call him again, and if he still didn't answer, I'd just leave him alone."

Lin Hai was still quite normal when he said this, but when he described what happened after the call was connected, he was filled with regret and kept slamming his thigh, regretting it so much. "If I had known I would hear the sound of him being hacked, I would never have answered the call."

"Don't talk about irrelevant things, just get to the point." Zheng Zhiyong became anxious after hearing this.

Lin Hai then returned to business. "As soon as I answered the phone, he started yelling like he was running away, saying nothing. I threatened to leave him alone, but right after I finished, I heard the sound of a group of people chasing him and hacking at him..." He looked terrified, and his voice quickened. "They must have hit bones. I heard the sound of bones being chopped several times, the crackling sound. At that time, the hairs on my body stood up. I'm not exaggerating, comrades, you must believe me."

He became increasingly agitated.

"Then how do you know he's dead? You didn't see him." Zheng Zhiyong asked.

Lin Hai swallowed several times, still in a state of panic. "Because... because he wasn't moving. He could scream at first, but then Jia Honghe was completely silent. And those people dragged him away. How could he not be dead?!"

At this point, his hands were shaking with nervousness, and he begged them, "Comrades, I've told you everything I know. You must protect me. Those people are so cruel. If they find out what I've exposed, they might kill me too."

This is also the reason why he hid outside for half a year. If he could not stay outside this time, he would not have suddenly come back here.

But if he knew that he would be caught by them as soon as he came back, he would rather find a strange place to live a miserable life and wait for death, and would definitely not come back.

He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. He didn't ask for anything else now, but only hoped that he and his family would not be killed by that group of people.

He clasped his hands together and kept begging them, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him. Instead, he was asked more questions by the handsome and ruthless young policeman.

"Did you hear any other sounds?" Ji Mingcheng asked.

"Sound?" Lin Hai tried to calm down and recall, "I seemed to hear the sound of leaves being stepped on."

"Anything else?"

"It's been half a year, and I... I can't remember it." Lin Hai wanted to cry but had no tears.

"What day is it, the 20th?" Ji Mingcheng asked again.

"June, I never came back after that, and even when I came back this time, you guys caught me." Lin Hai felt aggrieved when he talked about this.

Why did he come back here?

"It was indeed the day of the robbery." Zheng Zhiyong looked at Ji Mingcheng. "Brother Ji, it seems your guess is correct. If those people could kill a police officer, they would definitely not let Jia Honghe, who saw their faces, go. He's probably been dead for half a year."

"Wait, wait, what robbery? What killing of police officers? How dare those people kill police officers?!" Lin Hai asked three times in a confused manner.

He had been hiding outside for the past six months and had no intention of finding out what happened in Xulin City, let alone the robbery. He didn't understand what he heard now. What was even more tragic was the news of "killing police officers". If that group of people dared to kill even the police, then wouldn't he be finished?

"Comrade, I have cooperated with you so much, you must protect me, comrade--" He howled like a ghost, and his legs shook as hard as an old woman in the countryside sifting chaff.

Ji Mingcheng nodded to Zheng Zhiyong and asked someone to come in and take the people away.

Lin Hai cried even harder when he was taken out of the interrogation room, but no one paid any attention to him. No one cared whether he was crying or why he was crying. Anyway, he was quickly taken away by other police officers.

Seeing that the two captains were still communicating, Qiu Jiang moved closer to Wang Li and asked, "Brother Wang, with his confession, can we convict that group of people?"

Wang Li shook his head. "We can't prove that it was that group that did it, not to mention the body hasn't been found yet."

Qiu Jiang's face grew heavy.

Seeing her like this, Wang Li comforted her, "Even if the body of this person cannot be found, those five people will still be shot. However, it is best for us to find the body and give an explanation to the victim's family. As for how to do it, we have to listen to Captain Ji's arrangements."

She frowned and nodded heavily.

It was almost noon. Ji Mingcheng and Zheng Zhiyong came over after discussing. Zheng Zhiyong said to them directly, "It's late now. Let's go out for a meal first. After dinner, we'll go straight to Shangkou Street."

Shangkou Street is where the supply and marketing cooperative that was robbed is located.

Qiu Jiang and the other person naturally went to see their boss first. After seeing him nod slightly, they responded and thanked him.

"Thank you, Captain Zheng."

"You're welcome. Let's go."

Zheng Zhiyong was definitely a hospitable person. He immediately took them to the big restaurant near the police station. However, it was dinner time and the restaurant was full of people. Fortunately, he knew the owner and was able to squeeze out a private room for them.

"We can't drink this wine. Don't blame me for not treating you well." Zheng Zhiyong stood up and toasted Ji Mingcheng with a glass of water.

"Brother Zheng, you're welcome. I'll treat you to a drink next time you come to Anxi." Ji Mingcheng stood up and clinked glasses with him with a smile.

"Hahaha, then I'll take it seriously."

"Of course, I'm always at your service."

"Haha, that's a good feeling."

After the two of them clinked glasses, the hurried lunch officially began.

Everyone knew that time was running out, so after a quick meal, they headed straight for Shangkou Street, unwilling to waste any time.

Sitting in the car, Qiu Jiang couldn't help but cover her lower abdomen. If she encountered a corpse again this time, would her stomach hurt as much as last time?

In his previous life, he died from the pain caused by the poisonous insect, and in this life, he has not yet gotten rid of the influence of the insect.

Qiu Jiang was a little scared.

"If you don't feel well, just stay in the car later."

Qiu Jiang blinked and turned to look at Ji Mingcheng who was driving.

"Thank you, Team Ji. I'm fine."

Ji Mingcheng glanced at her sideways, and after a while he said "hmm".
