Lies are not scary; what's scary is a lie that's half true.
Jiang Si's few words caused sweat to drip down Vice Minister Xu's forehead.
Today, bad news keeps coming one after another.
Vice Minister Xu is now completely unable to tell whether Jiang Si is bluffing him or whether Takeda has actually confessed!
But deep down, he was more inclined to believe that Takeda must have said something, otherwise Jiang Si wouldn't have known these things so clearly.
As for the discrepancies in the details, that's not hard to understand.
Now that they've reached a critical moment of life and death, Takeda will naturally say things that are favorable to himself in order to save his own life.
"You don't have to admit it, but that's okay."
Jiang Si wasn't in a hurry and said calmly, "Anyway, he'll confess again today. As for whether you want to try for leniency or continue to be stubborn and take all the blame, that's up to you."
"but……"
But what?
Vice Minister Xu looked over upon hearing this.
Jiang Si didn't keep you in suspense, "You don't have much time left, so think it over carefully."
Director Wei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Xu Bingkun, you also have children. Working for the Japanese Empire, aren't you afraid that your descendants will be criticized and have their backs broken?"
"Let me tell you the truth, with the evidence we have now, taking you down would be a piece of cake..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Director Wei, Comrade Xu's family has arrived," the junior policeman outside said.
"Take him to the next room first." Since this involves enemy agents, not only Vice Minister Xu's immediate family members, but anyone related to them must be investigated.
Seeing that the other party was still standing there, Director Wei asked, "Is there anything else?"
The young police officer nodded. "We encountered several suspicious-looking strangers near the family compound. These people were carrying weapons."
As he spoke, he grabbed one of the people squatting in the corridor and brought him in, saying, "These are them."
The junior police officer didn't recognize the other person.
However, Vice Minister Xu had met these people before.
At this point, he could barely maintain the last shred of his sanity.
However, when he learned that these people were on Takeda's orders to stake out the Xu family's residence, Vice Minister Xu's defenses completely collapsed.
It's obvious that Takeda is using his family as leverage.
Or perhaps, he wanted to kill him to silence him!
Now that things have come to this, he dares not hope that his family members will escape unscathed.
He could only try to negotiate, saying, "If I confess everything, can you guarantee my family won't die?"
"It depends on whether they were involved in this matter."
"No, they know nothing." The more people who know about this, the more dangerous it becomes, so Vice Minister Xu has never uttered a single word about it to his family.
"That's not up to you; we'll investigate."
Director Wei interrupted, "If they really didn't know and weren't involved, at most they'll be sentenced to labor reform."
"As for how many years you will be sentenced, that depends on your attitude toward admitting your guilt and your meritorious service."
Upon hearing this, Vice Minister Xu silently breathed a sigh of relief.
