"Come on, let's go interrogate Director Ma."

A thought suddenly struck Director Chen: Director Ma was Liu Heshan's brother-in-law.

Director Ma married Liu Heshan's sister ten years ago, so he should know best what kind of person his brother-in-law was ten years ago.

If Liu Heshan is not the current Captain Liu, then how did Captain Liu become Liu Heshan?

Director Ma must be well aware of this.

More importantly, Liu Heshan's body was found in the lotus pond of the machinery factory.

Only Director Ma remained at the machinery factory all those years ago.

In other words, only Director Ma had the capability to accomplish this, because Liu Heshan at the time was not from the security department of the machinery factory, but from the security department of the water company.

The two factories are not related to each other.

This oil drum had been buried in the lotus pond of the machinery factory for ten years.

To say this is a coincidence is a lie.

When the two of them entered the horse farm manager's detention cell, the manager had already calmed down.

To be precise, he knew he was doomed, especially after learning that his son had confessed. He was filled with hatred.

This child is ill-mannered. Look at this son, he actually betrayed his father. Doesn't he think about what good it will do him to betray these people?

If his father falls from power, does he think he can still enjoy the same treatment as the factory director's son?

He knew his son was stupid, but he never imagined he was this stupid.

Factory Director Ma knew that his chances of survival were slim.

"Director Ma, do you know why we've come to see you this time?"

Factory Director Ma gave a calm reply.

“You don’t need to say anything more, I understand. The police officers have already come by, and I have already confessed everything I needed to.”

I acknowledge this.

Although there was a murderer in front of him, he, as the mastermind, will probably be locked up in prison for more than ten years.

Unexpectedly, this newly appointed factory director was ousted before he could even settle into his new post.

He regretted that he had acted so rashly against Jiang Tiecheng.

This kid is really weird; I always run into bad luck whenever I run into Jiang Tiecheng.

"That's not what we're talking about, it's something else!"

"Nothing else!"

Factory Director Ma gritted his teeth, knowing there were some things he simply couldn't say.

Speaking out would result in a higher sentence.

He's not stupid.

"Really not?"

Think about it carefully. This is your chance to make a contribution. If you can honestly confess, then you will be recognized for your merits.

Your 15-year sentence might be reduced.

"It doesn't do you any good to cover up for others."

"What did you say? I don't understand at all!"

"Don't you understand? Then let's talk about Liu Heshan."

"Liu Heshan!"

"Yes, you're familiar with the name Liu Heshan, aren't you?"

"Of course I'm familiar with him. This is my brother-in-law."

“You know this is your brother-in-law, but it’s a bit strange that you don’t recognize him.”

Factory Director Ma's heart immediately jumped.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Isn't this nonsense?"

How could I not know my brother-in-law?

impossible!

It's impossible for anyone to recognize that skeleton.

Factory Director Ma's panicked eyes darted around, and his flustered expression immediately made Director Chen and the head of the criminal investigation team realize that Factory Director Ma was the key to their breakthrough.

"Director Ma, since you know your brother-in-law who died ten years ago, how come he is still alive?"

Can you explain to us what happened with the body that was dug out of the lotus pond at the machinery factory?

Sure enough, after Director Chen finished speaking those two sentences, Factory Director Ma felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His face was pale, and he stared at Director Chen with a look of terror in his eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I can't understand what you're saying at all."

What lotus pond?

Who knows who that body was that they dug up?

"And my brother-in-law is alive and well, can you please stop talking nonsense?"

"Smack!"

Director Chen slammed his hand on the table, nearly scaring Factory Director Ma so much he wet himself.

He'd never been in this kind of situation before. Usually, with his brother-in-law protecting him, he'd always acted like a tyrant.

I've never seen what it's really like for the police to handle cases.

"Director Ma, you'd better tell the truth. We've already investigated and confirmed that the skeleton is indeed Liu Heshan's."

Liu Heshan, 25 years old, has parents and siblings. I just want to ask him something.

How could your brother-in-law and the entire Liu family be so blind as to not recognize him?

Factory Director Ma lowered his head and fell silent, knowing that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

You can't show any expression, and you can't answer any questions, because if you do, you might not be able to explain yourself away.

"Why are you silent now? Do you think you can avoid this by not speaking? Do you think nothing will happen if you don't talk now?"

"I think we need to have a serious talk with your wife about how she doesn't recognize her own brother. I want to ask her what exactly happened."

“Don’t go. My wife has a heart condition. She won’t be able to handle it if you go.”

Factory Director Ma was in a great hurry, and it was clear that he was completely devoted to his wife.

Having weaknesses makes things easier.

"Director Ma, are you still going to protect Captain Liu at this point?"

You probably don't know that Captain Liu has already run away. We went to Liu's house and all the places he might have gone, but we couldn't find him.

If he had nothing to hide, why did he run away?
