In the interrogation room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shi Jin was being asked several questions over and over again.
The content includes but is not limited to the cases that "Miaoshou" had committed before, the details of her escape after the theft, her modus operandi and scouting process, etc.
Two clerks were recording Shi Jin's words on the white paper in front of them behind a one-way mirror, and a recorder on the side was also running continuously.
This is a common interrogation method.
Shuffling the order of questions and asking them randomly multiple times can be very effective in preventing prisoners from lying.
Because it is difficult for most people to repeat a lie after they have told it, if inconsistencies are found in the answers during random questioning, it is sufficient to prove that a lie was mixed in a certain answer.
A strong light shone in front of Shi Jin.
The girl had heard of torture.
Many former criminals in the outer city described the interrogation room like this:
"When the high-intensity light is out of power, the electric baton will have power."
Shi Jin didn't want to be beaten with an electric baton, so he told everything out loud.
At this moment, she still had handcuffs with cat paw patterns on her wrists.
In fact, Shi Jin had already discovered this detail when she lowered her head to think, but she didn't dare to ask or think too much about it. She just thought it was the bad taste of some interrogators.
Fran has no expression now, but if she were to return to her cat form, she would definitely frown her non-existent eyebrows.
This guy is such a wimp!
Fulan did not think about her past and present of being servile in front of Lin Qingliu. She only felt that as a [believer] who was to be tested, Shi Jin's performance was indeed disappointing.
Shi Jin explained everything he could remember, and Zhuang Mian on the opposite side was very satisfied with it.
She hasn't had time to use her great memory recovery technique yet, but she herself is not a violent person. She will only take the initiative to use physical anesthesia on people who are ferocious or uncooperative.
Looking at Shi Jin, who looked quite good but was crying with tears in his eyes, Zhuang Mian was not fooled by his appearance, but a soft spot in his heart was still touched.
After reading the interrogation record handed over by his clerk from beginning to end, Zhuang Mian nodded with satisfaction.
She looked up at Shi Jin:
"Have you confessed everything?"
"I have confessed everything."
Shi Jin slammed his hands on the table in despair.
"I've said everything I need to say. Just give me a quick death."
"No hurry, one last question, why are you doing all this?"
Looking at the somewhat dazed girl, Zhuang Mian added:
"The total amount of money you have committed crimes has reached nearly two million information coins. As long as you don't commit the crime in the inner city, this money is enough for you to live the best life in the outer city.
"The people who investigated your family just gave me a report. All the stolen money since you started committing crimes has been piled under your bed. The amount missing does not even exceed 20,000 yuan, which is only 1% of the total amount. In addition, there has been no obvious change in your spending in the past six months.
"This is what I don't understand. Why did you commit the crime?"
Shi Jin lowered her head and her eyes began to move along an edge of the cat's paw pattern. It made no sense and she herself didn't know how to explain it.
When did this morbid life begin?
The question was beyond doubt, starting with her mother's death.
That was a year ago. At that time, Shi Jin was just an ordinary repairman and had a family that was incomplete but still happy.
Of course, there was no so-called "magic hand" in Hope City at that time.
Her mother was seriously ill, so seriously that the hospital in City of Hope decided not to treat her after evaluation.
Shi Jin tried various methods, but the hospitals seemed to have discussed their statements about this kind of illness in advance, and the results were the same no matter where he went.
But Shi Jin was not convinced.
She knew there was a place where she might be able to save her mother.
Wager Chemical Plant, the largest black market in Hope City.
When she went to the black market for the first time, Shi Jin made as thorough preparations as possible. She took most of the information coins in her home and planned to try her luck.
It is normal to be able to buy some medicines on the black market. The only problem is that it is difficult to judge whether those medicines are technological products from the research institute or privately mixed by some unscrupulous guys in the outer city.
This is not an uncommon occurrence. Many black market traders who sell medicine as a sideline usually run another business, which is collecting empty medicine bottles with the institute's logo printed on them.
They will restore it to as good a condition as possible, then add some unknown things into it and sell it as a new product.
Obviously, this kind of random life and death potion has absolutely no after-sales service.
Shi Jin used what methods he had learned and used the dim light of a flashlight to test the medicines at many stalls.
Finally, she came to a corner on the third floor of the black market.
The black market merchant's red hair poured out from his hood. At that time, the merchant's hair was not very long, just reaching his neck.
Shi Jin tried his best but couldn't find any refilled medicines at her stall.
Although this may have something to do with her own ability to distinguish, it is always more reassuring here anyway.
"Buy with confidence, these are all genuine products from the research institute."
The red-haired businessman said with a smile.
Shi Jin certainly would not be fooled, she curled her lips and retorted:
"The guy just now said that he got his medicine from the director of the institute's desk. If I believed that, I would have died from taking it."
"Believe it or not, but I always have a stall around here, and you can always come to me if you have any questions."
I have to say, although this statement is not very credible, the red-haired woman is still the first black-hearted businessman that Shi Jin has ever seen who provides after-sales service.
After shopping around, she finally bought the medicine from a place that had after-sales service.
This medicine is indeed effective. For Shi Jin's mother, the medicine quickly stopped the deterioration of her condition.
But there is almost no development in the positive direction.
So Shi Jin's mother's condition remained unchanged, but the family savings were slowly decreasing.
What is even more distressing is that after excessive use of drugs, drug resistance also appears.
Shi Jin's mother's condition is inevitably sliding into the abyss.
Shi Jin found the red-haired woman again and asked her if she had a better potion.
The woman was silent for a long time, and finally said lightly:
"Yes, but even people in the inner city don't have access to such medicines."
