After all, for a newspaper with a press club in the Metropolitan Police Station building, it is more valuable to establish good relations with the police, gain favors and build a virtuous cycle.
The photo placed in front of the suspect was obviously obtained by his subordinates through contacting reporters.
This is probably the main reason why Inspector Yuminaga suspects him to be the suspect.
"I wonder what prize I can get for the perfect attendance award?"
Looking at the photos in front of him, Shancun Ying was not at all panicked. Instead, he still had that unruly arrogance.
"Kid, don't play dumb." Inspector Gong Chang, who already had a fierce face, looked even more ferocious at this moment. "Your bad-boy tricks won't work on me. Tell me the truth!"
"What you captured were just pictures of me watching the excitement at the fire scene."
Shancunying pointed at the photo and said, "This is not even evidence at all. You criminals are really unreasonable for arresting me just because of this."
"Inspector Yuminaga is from the Fire Division, and I'm primarily responsible for cases in the Criminal Division."
Tang Ze, who was standing by, stopped Inspector Yuminaga from getting angry and smiled at the man in front of him: "You should know what it means when someone from the Criminal Investigation Division shows up in a fire incident, right?"
Tang Ze's words made Shancun Ying's face change, and his previous frivolous disdain began to subside.
"It seems you realize the seriousness of the situation." Tang Ze said calmly, "This is a heinous incident of murder and arson. If you are innocent, please cooperate with us."
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me," Shancunying said irritably, "On the contrary, you would doubt me even more."
"Speak first." Tang Ze said calmly, "We will be the ones to make the judgment after you finish speaking."
"That's right. If you lie, Detective Tang Ze will definitely see through it, but if you tell the truth, it will clear your suspicion, so don't try to play tricks."
Inspector Yuminaga sensed something strange in the other party's words, and used both kindness and force to bring up Tang Ze's name.
"Tang Ze..."
Yamamura Ying was startled when he heard what Inspector Yuminaga said, and then subconsciously looked at Tang Ze beside him: "You are the famous detective who often appears in the newspapers..."
"It's me."
After being recognized by the other party, Tang Ze knew from the other party's expression that Inspector Yuminaga had made a good move. It was obvious that the other party was shocked by his identity.
Although I don't usually use my reputation to put pressure on others, it's still pretty good if it works occasionally.
"If it were you, I don't think anyone would doubt me if I said this."
After hearing Tang Ze admit his identity, Yamamura Ying relaxed and leaned back on his chair: "I admit that I do get excited when I see flames.
I know that this mentality of mine is not good, but I did not actually set a fire, let alone kill anyone.
The reason I always appear at the scene of the crime is because I don’t dare to do it myself, so I can only watch other people’s arson works.”
"You're a complete and utter criminal!" Inspector Yumio's face darkened when he heard this. "Do you think we'll believe you if you say that?"
"But what I said is true." Shancunying said impatiently: "So you treated me as a criminal from the beginning and you won't believe anything I say."
"I believe it."
Tang Ze spoke directly: "Although I want to let you go immediately, given your dangerous thoughts, in order to prevent you from becoming an arsonist, you still need to receive the necessary education.
So wait a minute, go to the Fire Department's education room and study hard."
"Did you hear that, kid?" Gong Chang pulled Shancunying up and said, "Come on, I'll have someone correct your dangerous thinking."
"I'm going... Can I not go..." Yamamura Ying was taken away by Inspector Yuminaga's men while cursing, leaving Inspector Yuminaga standing in the interrogation room.
"Is it really okay to just let him go like this?"
Inspector Yuminaga looked at the distant Yamamura and asked.
"He certainly didn't lie."
Tang Ze said, "At least he's telling the truth now. He's just a guy who doesn't have the courage to do it and just enjoys watching the criminal achievements of others."
"I can see that his resentment stems from the fact that he felt that nothing he said would be of any use, and might even increase suspicion. That's why he refused to cooperate in the beginning."
Inspector Yumio smiled and said, "But your reputation is quite useful. When they heard it was you, they just told the truth."
"It only works if he's not a criminal. Otherwise, it might actually backfire, right?"
Tang Ze asked in return: "Inspector Yuminaga, how did you realize that he might not be the criminal?"
"Intuition, right?" Gong Chang shook his head and said, "I just mentioned your name to test his reaction.
As for the rest of the story, I'll just trust your judgment."
"Judging from his micro-expressions, he certainly doesn't seem to be lying." Tang Ze explained, "But to prevent him from getting into trouble later, it's best to stay with him for a while."
"Ah, I know." Inspector Yumio nodded. "I know that without you telling me. This guy has a very dangerous mentality. He might take that step at any time."
Shancunying feels happy when seeing flames burning down houses. This mentality is very dangerous and can be said to be a potential arsonist.
It was this mentality that made him wary, fearing that the police would become more suspicious of him.
But Tang Ze's reputation intimidated the other party and made him willing to cooperate.
He wasn't particularly familiar with Inspector Yumio, but apart from this interrogation, the two of them worked well together.
