Chapter 348 Huang Yanli's Weakness

Fan Zhongliang had just reached the second-floor balcony. When he saw someone running towards him, he was so scared that he quickly slid down.

As a result, the clothesline suddenly couldn't bear his weight and broke with a bang.

Fan Zhongliang suddenly screamed and fell down.

But he lived in an old-style community with a shed with a sloping roof on the first floor.

When he fell, he hit the shed directly, then rolled several times and landed on the lawn outside.

He felt dizzy and struggled to get up, but his feet were weak and he fell down again as soon as he got up.

Zhou Yi rushed over, pinned him to the ground, and shouted, "Fan Zhongliang, you are suspected of intentional homicide. You are now being summoned for investigation according to the law! Behave!"

Fan Zhongliang was still trying to resist, waving his backpack wildly and throwing it at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi blocked it with his hand, and the backpack flew out and fell on the ground beside him. Stacks of hundred-yuan bills fell out of the bag.

Zhou Yi used his knees to hold him down on the ground, then took out handcuffs.

Xia Yu stayed at the gate of Fan Zhongliang's house until Zhou Yi's voice came from the corridor downstairs.

He hurried down and saw Zhou Yi holding Fan Zhongliang, whose hands were handcuffed, with one hand and a backpack in the other.

"Keep this." Zhou Yi said as he handed him the backpack.

Xia Yu took it and saw that the backpack was full of money.

"Call the bureau and have them send someone to seal off Fan Zhongliang's house, and then have the technical department conduct an on-site investigation." Zhou Yi handed the cell phone to Xia Yu.

"Okay." Xia Yu put away the gun and started making a call.

"Let's go." Zhou Yi pushed Fan Zhongliang and said coldly.

"I didn't do it... I was forced to do it, I..." Fan Zhongliang said with tears in his eyes.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not time to interrogate you yet!"

After Xia Yu finished the call, he told Zhou Yi that the bureau was short of staff and could only assign two people to take over the scene. Then the command center would contact Pan Hongjie and ask him to arrange the matters of the technical department.

The two men immediately drove and took Fan Zhongliang straight to the municipal bureau.

Xia Yu was responsible for driving, and Zhou Yi sat in the back with Fan Zhongliang to prevent him from doing anything extreme on the way.

They soon returned to Anyuan Municipal Bureau, and Pan Hongjie called. Zhou Yi asked Xia Yu to take Fan Zhongliang to the interrogation room first.

On the phone, Zhou Yi directly asked Pan Hongjie to interrogate Fan Zhongliang.

Pan Hongjie was on his way to Fan Zhongliang's house and agreed immediately.

"Captain Pan, there's something you might want to pay attention to," Zhou Yi said.

"What's the matter?" Pan Hongjie had a bad feeling.

"Take a good look at the situation of Fan Zhongliang's wife, Chen Ting. I think she might be dead."

Pan Hongjie suddenly felt his heart tighten. No, five people died in this case?

Even if the case is completely solved, the city will probably make a fuss about public security issues, and all the police officers in Anyuan will be in trouble.

Pan Hongjie nodded with a distressed look and said, "Okay, I'll check it out."

Zhou Yi hung up the phone and happened to see Qiao Jiali.

Qiao Jiali looked at him and said, "Why are you so dirty? And your head is full of water, like a drowned rat."

Zhou Yi finally reacted and looked down at himself. He was indeed covered in mud and his head was full of water.

Although the rain had subsided a lot when they rushed to Fan Zhongliang's house, it was still drizzling, and when they caught Fan Zhongliang just now, they got covered in mud from the other person.

"Wipe your hair and be careful not to catch a cold." Qiao Jiali said with concern, took out a pack of tissues from her pocket, took out several pieces and handed them to Zhou Yi.

Although Zhou Yi is very good at handling cases, he is only a 23-year-old young man after all. To Qiao Jiali and Jiang Biao, who are in their early 30s, he is like an outstanding little brother in the family.

"Thank you, Sister Qiao." Zhou Yi took it and wiped the rain off his head.

He found that the texture of the paper was really good and it was probably not cheap. In 1997, not many ordinary families used paper towels, let alone this kind of beautifully packaged handkerchief paper.

In his previous life, even a rough guy like Zhou Yi rarely used such good paper.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because he thought of Xu Nian. Xu Nian's family conditions were obviously very good. Not to mention what she usually wore and used, just look at that professional high-power microscope, which was an imported product and ordinary people could not afford it at all.

Zhou Yi knew how Xu Nian came from such a good family background. It was closely related to her father, the director who was a double-returned official in her previous life.

Xu Nian's father is a bureau director, and his administrative level should also be a department-level cadre.

Qiao Jiali's husband, Director Zhang, who everyone wants to flatter, is also a director-level official.

In some respects, Director Zhang's influence may even be greater than Director Xu's. Moreover, they are both department-level cadres, one is in his prime under 40, while the other is in his 50s and about to retire.

Zhou Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought, what if her virginity is not clean either?

What should we do with such a good person like Sister Qiao?

But on second thought, at least in his previous life, before he went to the provincial capital, he didn't seem to have heard of any city leader being punished for illegal or disciplinary violations. The one who impressed him the most was Xu Nian's father.

I hope I won’t be a pessimist again.

"Sister Qiao, have you finished talking to Huang Yanli?"

"Well, guess what?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "If you say so, then there must be one."

"She's the type who responds to soft words rather than hard ones, so I used chatting with her to persuade her. The reason is actually very simple; I only focused on one point."

"What?" Zhou Yi asked curiously.

"Her son. No matter how she treats others, or what kind of person she was in the past, I'm certain her biggest weakness isn't money, but her son. So no matter what I say, I always bring it back to her son, slowly breaking down her defenses."

Zhou Yi nodded. Usually, a person always has some things that he cares about very much.

Relatives, love, money, ideals, freedom.

During the interrogation process, the key to breaking through the psychological defense line is to grasp what the suspect cares about most and then make a breakthrough.

That is their weak point.

Huang Yanli keeps talking about money, but the core issue is actually her son.

She herself admitted to Zhou Yi that her family was poor and if she had not married Zheng Guangming, her family would not be able to build a decent house in their lifetime.

In addition, since she has been working everywhere since graduating from high school, it can be confirmed that she has lived a relatively difficult life since she was a child due to family reasons.

Although I have no worries about food and clothing now, the lack of my youth cannot be compensated or filled.

This is what is called something that one cannot have when young, which will haunt him for the rest of his life.

So she would never let her son experience such a life. This is why some children grow up in a honeypot. It is precisely because their parents have suffered enough hardships in life when they were young, and then projected their emotions and regrets onto their children.

This is a typical psychological projection phenomenon.

"So did she reveal any information?" Zhou Yi asked.

Qiao Jiali nodded and said with a smile, "Why don't you go and take a look at the transcript?"

"Sister Qiao, please stop keeping me in suspense."

Qiao Jiali said that she spent a long time and communicated with Huang Yanli very patiently.

Then she slowly directed the question to her son.

For example, ask her, "Doesn't your son ask where his dad is? Does he miss his dad?"

For example, if you can’t accompany your son as he grows up and he can never see his mother again, how helpless will he be?

In the end, she said that Huang Yanli's psychological defenses had basically collapsed and she was in tears all the time.

"What she meant was that although she had many complaints about Zheng Guangming, especially after the woman named Bai Xiuxiu showed up, she had argued with Zheng Guangming many times over this, and their relationship had once reached a freezing point."

"But she was actually quite grateful to Zheng Guangming because he was very kind to his youngest son. He even made a will, leaving 60% of the family fortune to his youngest son, Zheng Tianyu, with Zheng Tianlan and her each getting 20%."

Zhou Yi was very surprised. Zheng Guangming had actually made a will long ago? And Huang Yanli also knew the contents of the will. Then it was even more impossible for Huang Yanli to have the motive of hiring a killer.

Because the female corpse was not pregnant, as long as Bai Xiu Xiu was not pregnant, even with the existence of a will, it would not be enough to force Huang Yanli to kill.

…

Time goes back to more than an hour before Zhou Yi returned. In the interrogation room, Huang Yanli's eyes were red, but she lowered her head and did not speak.

Qiao Jiali said softly, "Huang Yanli, we police officers are here to help you, not to harm you. But the prerequisite for helping you is that you tell us the truth. I'm not lying to you either. Fu Daqing has been arrested in another city. If he confesses first, then the authenticity of his confession and the determination of criminal responsibility will be disadvantageous to you."

"Huang Yanli, your son is only five years old, right? He's at his most adorable and clingy to his mother at this age. Doesn't he want to pester you all day and night, calling you 'Mom' non-stop?"

When Huang Yanli heard her son mentioned, she couldn't help but smile.

But Qiao Jiali's casual words became the last straw that broke her psychological defenses.

"Does your son usually sleep with you or with his grandparents?"

Huang Yanli didn't understand why she asked that, but she still said, "With me. He can only sleep soundly when I'm with him."

Qiao Jiali said, "Last night, I wonder how long the little guy cried."

Huang Yanli's heart was instantly gripped. When the police came to arrest her yesterday, her son kept crying and hugging her. She was delayed for so long in order to comfort her son.

She suddenly became afraid that she would never see her son again. He was still so young, what would happen to him in the future?

"Comrade police officer, I really didn't hire anyone to kill Zheng Guangming," Huang Yanli cried, covering her face. "It was that bastard Zheng Guangming who paid someone to kill me. I had no choice but to do it."
