Chapter 190 She came to interrogate
"Wu Laosan! Are you going to talk or not! Believe me or not, I'll lock you up here and you'll never get out!"
The officer, unable to bear it any longer, slammed his baton on the table!
"Don't force us to take action! I'm telling you!"
Despite threats and intimidation, Wu Laosan kept his mouth shut, looking like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water!
In the observation room
Wen Ni glanced coldly at the special-grade police officer beside her.
"Is this how your department usually interrogates prisoners? No scripted approach, just brutal and simple methods?"
"No..."
The top-level police officer was a little embarrassed. He awkwardly spread his hands and said, "Sir, before you came, our officers had already used many different methods to interrogate Wu Laosan, but Wu Laosan's mouth was as if it were covered with cement. He wouldn't say a word! There was nothing we could do. He wouldn't listen to reason, so we had to resort to force!"
"Yeah?"
Wen Ni casually uttered two words, then turned and opened the door to the observation room. "Then I'll meet him myself and see if he's really as difficult as you say!"
"..."
The special-grade police officer blinked, watching Wen Ni's departing figure, then glanced at the two soldiers still standing beside her. He couldn't help but clear his throat, trying to regain some face.
"Is this female officer of yours not long since she took office? She's so young and a bit overconfident. After all, the various drills in the military are just small-scale exercises, not real combat. They're completely different from how we police interrogate criminals..."
"Whether it's overconfidence or not, officer, why don't you take a look first?" One of the soldiers interrupted the special police officer with a calm expression.
The top-ranking officer smiled and turned away without saying a word, but he was unconvinced and his probing gaze fell on the interrogation room on the other side of the one-way mirror!
He wanted to see what kind of tricks this female officer could pull out during the interrogation.
Interrogation room
The military green uniform made her look graceful and slender, exuding an aura of righteousness!
She simply stood there, exuding an aura of authority without even trying!
"You all go out first."
"……good."
The two officers exchanged glances, lowered their heads, and obediently withdrew.
Wu Laosan in the interrogation room never looked up; he was immersed in his own world, repeatedly fidgeting with his fingers!
“Wu Laosan, I talked to your sister before I came. I heard from your sister that your parents died early, and your eldest sister is like a mother to you. You are the youngest one, so she spoils you and indulges you in everything.”
“You did something that completely surprised her, and she was very sad and felt guilty.”
"But I think, in your heart, you didn't mean to make her sad or upset, right?"
Wen Ni spoke calmly, as if she were having a casual chat with Wu Laosan! Her eyes were constantly observing Wu Laosan's actions, even his micro-expressions.
It's not hard to notice the brief pauses between Wu Laosan's fingers as she spoke, and the increasingly pale lips he pursed!
Wen Ni took another step forward at the opportune moment, looking down at Wu Laosan's increasingly lowered head.
Her tone also changed from gentle to firm!
"Wu Laosan, do you think the police will let you go if you don't say a word?"
"Now that we have both witnesses and physical evidence, you're definitely going to jail. The only difference is how long you'll be there!"
"Resisting arrest while armed."
"Child trafficking".
"Refuses to plead guilty!"
At this point, Wen Ni slammed her hand on the table, the effect of which was no less than that of a gavel, startling Wu Laosan!
He looked up in horror.
What I saw before me were three fingers raised!
"With just these three charges, you won't get out of prison in less than ten or eight years!"
"..." Wu Laosan opened his mouth, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead.
Wen Ni hadn't finished speaking yet.
She slowly straightened up, sighing regretfully, "It's a pity you have such a good older sister who cares so much about you. She's even thinking of finding you a good family to marry into, so that when you make some money, she can buy you a shop to make a living..."
"You really don't want any of these good days at all!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Laosan finally reacted.
He shakily raised his head, his eyes already red.
"Wu Laosan, Wu Laosan, I'm not interrogating you right now!" Wen Ni leaned forward slightly, her tone gradually lowering, her eyes filled with a resolute determination that commanded respect. "I'm giving you another chance, a chance to redeem yourself, out of respect for your sister!"
"As long as you cooperate with me and answer my questions, getting a reduced sentence won't be difficult!"
After she finished speaking, she paused for a long while.
When she felt the time was right, she spoke again, "Wu Laosan, now I'm asking you, is this your first offense?"
"..." Wu Laosan nodded slowly.
"You refuse to tell us where you went after you stole the child because you were threatened by them?" Wen Ni's question hit the nail on the head!
Wu Laosan's body stiffened instantly, speaking more truthfully than words!
How did they threaten you?
He said…
Wu Laosan paused, his hands clenching and unclenching repeatedly, as if he had made a great decision. Then, he looked at Wen Ni with trembling eyes and asked, "If I tell the truth, will you protect me and my sister?"
"certainly."
Wen Ni raised her hand and poked the badge on her chest, her face cold and stern. "See this? I swear in the name of a soldier that as long as you provide us with clues, we will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of you and your family!"
"……good……"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Wu Laosan's eyes turned bloodshot, and his tightly clenched hands slowly loosened. "I'll talk!"
"Sir, you're right. This is my first offense, and I was caught by you for stealing a child for the first time."
“Everyone in the village knows that I’m not young, but I still don’t have a proper job and I rely on my sister to support me every day. But they don’t know that I also want to make a lot of money, and I also want to live a good life so that my sister can live a life of luxury thanks to me!”
At this point, a flame flickered in Wu Laosan's eyes, but it was quickly extinguished. "But I'm just a damn good-for-nothing. I'm lazy and greedy, and I can't do anything right!"
"So I wanted to take a shortcut!"
“I heard that there are places that sell children for high prices and make money very quickly! I wanted to join in the fun! It just so happened that the Wen family had all been locked up in jail, and there was no one to take care of his child. I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to target his family!”
"Buy a child at a high price?" Wen Ni narrowed her eyes sensitively.
Just as she suspected, this was not just a spur-of-the-moment human trafficking case, but a premeditated crime committed by a gang!
As the villagers said, Wu Laosan was a failure, content with his situation because of his sister's support. But he also wanted to earn money to prove himself, so someone took advantage of his desire and led him down this path of no return.
This road of no return cannot be built by Wu Laosan alone!
"Who told you about paying high prices for children?" Wen Ni pressed.
