Chapter 111 Closing the Net
◎No need to wait any longer, just arrest them◎
——Shameless?
——The carefree smiles of children are a thorn in your heart. Because you have never enjoyed being loved by your parents, you hate that kind of innocence.
Zhao Xiangwan's words were like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting through Min Chenghang's disguise of more than 30 years.
After the disguise is removed, the darkness inside is exposed.
Min Chenghang's breathing gradually became heavy, his eyes fixed on Zhao Xiangwan, his throat seemed to be strangled by something, and he couldn't utter a word.
Even though Min Chenghang repeatedly emphasized that everything he did was to rescue his wife and daughter, every choice he made could not stand up to scrutiny, and this was something Zhao Xiangwan must understand clearly.
As early as when he met Min Shuangshuang, Zhao Xiangwan had doubts in his heart.
How could an innocent child, a spoiled child, be as well-behaved and sensible as Min Shuangshuang? She didn't even dare to ask to go to the toilet, and only spoke up when she couldn't hold it anymore.
Min Chenghang said Shuangshuang was his life. Why was it that the only person he asked to see or call was Min Jiahuai, and not Min Shuangshuang? Rather than trusting his daughter to escape, it was more like he had subconsciously made a choice between his wife and daughter - he only loved Min Jiahuai.
There was silence in the interrogation room.
Zhao Xiangwan's words were as sharp as knives, and everyone in the serious crime squad knew this.
Zhu Kang and Gao Guangqiang looked at each other and neither urged him. Let Zhao Xiangwan be in charge of the interrogation. Maybe he could get some different information out of it.
Five minutes later, Min Chenghang finally spoke.
"Police comrade, you have never lived in an orphanage, have you? In a 10-square-meter nursery, there are sometimes 50 babies, all crying, constantly asking for food, water, and poop, and the caregivers are simply overwhelmed. The air is filled with the stench of feces and urine, and the sound of crying echoes in your ears. In such an environment, if you want to survive, you can only rely on robbing."
"To grab the adults' attention, grab more food, grab their own territory..."
"Jia Huai and I are both the best among them. I rely on ruthlessness, and she relies on obedience, so we survived. Moreover, we both have the ability to support ourselves, have a job, a salary, our own house, and even our own children."
"Jiahuai was in poor health and showed signs of miscarriage when she was four months pregnant. She stayed in bed for half a year to protect the fetus and finally gave birth to Shuangshuang after a lot of hardship. Shuangshuang and I had our own crib when we were born. When she was hungry, as long as she cried, Jiahuai would come running. When she needed to poop or pee, as long as she rubbed her head in the swaddling clothes, I would run over to take care of her. Compared with Jiahuai and I, Shuangshuang is much, much happier."
"Jia Huai and I are actually different."
"Jia Huai has love in her heart. She loves everyone in the world and is grateful for everything in this world, including suffering. She thinks her parents abandoned her because they couldn't survive in such a difficult situation. She thinks meeting me is the greatest happiness in her life. She thinks giving birth to Shuangshuang is a gift from God, because it means she can make up for all her regrets in life with Shuangshuang."
"My heart is filled with hatred. I hate my parents for throwing me away, I hate that I only get one point after working hard, I hate that the world is unfair, some are poor and some are rich, some wear gold and silver and some don't have enough food. Although I love Shuangshuang, sometimes when I see Jiahuai treat her so well, I occasionally feel a surge of inexplicable jealousy in my heart. Really, don't you think it's ridiculous? I would actually be jealous of my daughter! Jealous that she is happier than me, jealous that she can get Jiahuai's wholehearted love, jealous that she has a carefree childhood."
"But I have Jiahuai. She is so good to me, she understands all the hatred and pain in my heart, she thinks I am the smartest person in the world, and she only has me and Shuangshuang in her eyes. As long as I see the sparkling light in Jiahuai's eyes and hear her generous praise, all the hatred in my heart will disappear. I am willing to hide all the hatred in my heart, I am willing to be a bank clerk quietly, and I am willing to live a peaceful life with this family."
"But someone wants to destroy all of this!"
At this time, Min Chenghang finally revealed his inner anger. When he first saw it, the screams in his heart were finally shouted out by him.
"If I don't want to live anymore, then no one else will want to live anymore!"
"If my daughter can't survive, no one else's child can survive either—"
"I can't deal with them, but I can deal with these naive and hateful children who only know how to enjoy the love of their parents!"
Facing his roar, Gao Guangqiang, Zhu Kang and Zhu Feipeng from the serious crime team remained calm.
——I have seen countless suspects who were tortured by Zhao Xiangwan until they cried and screamed, had mental breakdowns, and had convulsions all over their bodies. Min Chenghang's little roar was just child's play.
After Min Chenghang vented his true feelings, he gradually calmed down. His attitude also became much more sincere and honest.
[This policeman has sharp eyes and can't hide anything.]
[It seems impossible to get away with it unscathed, so I just hope for a frank explanation and lenient treatment. ]
This is exactly the attitude that Zhao Xiangwan wants.
Min Chenghang finally stopped hiding anything: "I admit that I had a vengeful heart. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have been a murderer. I promised Liu Shangjun at the time that as long as he let my wife and daughter go home, I would be willing to surrender - I would commit a capital crime first and let the police arrest me. In this way, I would be dead anyway and would never be able to walk out of prison. What would it matter if I confessed to one more crime? In this way, they would naturally feel relieved."
Zhu Kang's scalp tingled when he heard this: "You, in order to save them from letting down their guard and releasing your wife and daughter, are you actually prepared to commit the crime of murder?"
Min Chenghang looked up at Zhu Kang and smiled gently, with a hint of resentment, hatred, and eight points of sadness in his smile.
【If Jia Huai were to be in trouble, what would I be doing alive? 】
【It is not a loss to have so many children buried with him. 】
The above words touched Zhao Xiangwan.
The next sentence made Zhao Xiangwan want to rush up and beat him to death.
Putting aside his personal emotions, Zhao Xiangwan continued the interrogation.
"Why did you look for Liu Shangjun first instead of calling the police?"
Under normal circumstances, Min Chenghang should have asked his neighbor how long his wife and daughter had been gone to see if he could bring them back. Since he was useful to the kidnappers, his wife and daughter were safe for the time being. Since their lives were safe, even if he didn't dare to call the police, he should have rushed out to look for them as soon as possible, and maybe he could have brought them back.
Why did he ask Liu Shangjun out first and even have time to meet him in a cafe?
Min Chenghang was touched in the heart by Zhao Xiangwan. He no longer had any secrets and answered all the questions and told the truth.
"What use can I be? It's just this job."
"I thought that Liu Shangjun wanted to falsify the accounts and embezzle the bank's funds, so he asked me to cooperate. It just so happened that I had this idea for a long time. The accounts of our savings bank were very messy. In addition, the rotation is every three years. Manager Liu and I will be transferred in the second half of the year. It is not difficult to do something wrong. I have always planned to take Jiahuai to Shanghai for a thorough examination and hospitalization. I also need money, so I thought of taking advantage of their tricks."
"It's just... I didn't expect that my usefulness was because I looked so much like that bandit Qiu Sanyong. So, I have to modify my original plan."
Gao Guangqiang never expected that Min Chenghang looked honest and decent, but he actually had a hidden criminal personality.
Zhao Xiangwan asked, "What happens next? After you have surrendered, how do you plan to protect your own interests?"
Min Chenghang showed a sly look on his face: "When I met with Liu Shangjun, I secretly brought a walkman and recorded the conversation. I made two backup tapes, one in a tape box at home, and the other I sent to a friend in Zhushi, who is another friend of mine in the orphanage, Min Chenghe. If I go to jail, he can use this to blackmail Liu Shangjun, and then take Jiahuai to Shanghai for treatment after getting the money."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at him and asked, "Are you sure Liu Shangjun won't run away?"
Min Chenghang said, "You don't understand him. He has relatives in the banking system, this job is guaranteed to pay, and he has a wife and children, so he will never give up his job. He is at most an assistant, and he is definitely not the mastermind. So... there is no problem in luring him. I will use my worthless life to exchange for the money for Jiahuai's treatment. Let's do the math."
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Are you sure Min Chenghe will help you?"
Min Chenghang: "We are friends who have risked our lives for each other. I don't trust others, but I trust him. He has a hard life, works as a clamper in a factory, and has never married. He, like me, has liked Jiahuai since childhood. I feel relieved to entrust Jiahuai and Shuangshuang to him."
Entrusting his wife and daughter to his wife's secret admirer? Zhao Xiangwan didn't quite understand this.
"Aren't you afraid that Min Chenghe will take your wife and daughter after he gets the money? Isn't it because he likes your wife that he hasn't married? Now that he finally has the chance, will he consider the brotherhood?"
Min Chenghang looked at Zhao Xiangwan: "If I die, I will only feel relieved if I hand Jiahuai over to him."
Zhao Xiangwan then remembered that at the gate of Qiming Primary School, Min Chenghang had chopped a little girl's head with his machete. He showed no mercy at all!
——He originally intended to take revenge on society and never thought about getting out alive.
It was because Min Chenghang had this idea that made "them" feel his sincerity. In addition, Min Jiahuai and Min Shuangshuang were gentle and obedient, so Gong Changshui and others never treated them harshly.
For a moment, even though Zhao Xiangwan had seen many complicated human hearts, he sighed.
Min Chenghang said: "Comrade police officer, you don't have to sigh for me. You know what? When I saw Qiu Sanyong's photo, my first reaction was not joy at all, but relief: No wonder I don't feel happy like Jia Huai does, no wonder I always feel resentful, it turns out... I am a bad guy! Just like Qiu Sanyong."
"Before I took action, I studied Qiu Sanyong. He is two years younger than me, so he should be my younger brother, right? He was born in a better year than me, and there was enough food in the countryside to support him, so his parents didn't abandon him. He went to high school, joined the army, and was assigned to the county's armed forces department, where he had a good job. Later, he was unwilling to be ordinary and went to Zhushi to drive a taxi, making a lot of money."
"Compared to me, he was lucky and happy enough, right? But he was still not satisfied. He thought he should make more money, he thought he was born to be a hero, so he didn't even blink when he broke into houses and stabbed people. At that time, I thought, I was actually the same as him. Obviously, many children born in the same year as me died of hunger, and obviously few children from orphanages could be admitted to banking schools. Obviously, I was able to marry a good wife like Jia Huai. Compared to many people, I was already lucky and happy enough, but why was I still not satisfied? Why was my heart always filled with hatred?"
At this point, Min Chenghang raised his eyes and met Zhao Xiangwan's, his eyes revealing a sense of self-abandonment: "For someone like me, living in this world is a waste of food, it's better to just die."
Zhao Xiangwan realized that both Min Chenghang and Qiu Sanyong were extremely smart people.
Smart people have a common problem: they think a lot but do little.
Most smart people want to take shortcuts and are unwilling to put in the hard work.
So his eyes are always on those who achieve success through shortcuts.
Little do people know that even those who succeed by taking shortcuts may have experienced a long and bumpy road.
Even those who seem to have gained things easily and without effort have actually paid a lot of precious things that most people don't even know about, such as chastity, self-respect, reputation, and... freedom.
There is no absolute fairness in this world, and everyone's starting point is different.
If you want fairness, you have to make yourself strong.
No success is achieved overnight, it is accumulated step by step, otherwise it is easy to collapse;
There is no need to sow if there is no harvest. It is all watered with sweat drop by drop, otherwise it will be easily destroyed.
After a moment's silence, Zhao Xiangwan did not preach, but said softly: "Whatever you choose, that is your life. But... I am a policeman, I have to uphold justice for kind people."
"Fair?" Min Chenghang raised his head suddenly, "Is there really fairness?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Yes, justice is in the hearts of the people."
Min Chenghang kept repeating Zhao Xiangwan's words: "Justice is in the hearts of the people? Justice is in the hearts of the people. Justice is in the hearts of the people."
Min Chenghang suddenly stopped talking and looked at Zhao Xiangwan seriously: "Why do I feel that there is no justice in this world?"
Zhao Xiangwan: “Because someone destroyed it.”
Min Chenghang was stunned for a moment: "Someone destroyed it?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Yes, it could be you, Qiu Sanyong, Liu Shangjun, Gong Changshui, Aqiang, Aliang, or someone else."
Min Chenghang fell into deep thought.
[I have destroyed justice? ]
[But I still ask the world to give me justice? ]
A minute later, Min Chenghang suddenly put his hands on his forehead and laughed: "Hahahaha..."
Min Chenghang laughed until tears came out, and then he gradually stopped laughing.
Min Chenghang looked at Zhao Xiangwan and said, "What a pity, I learned this truth too late."
Zhao Xiangwan did not comfort him, but nodded: "It's a little late, reflect on yourself in prison."
Hearing Zhao Xiangwan's words, Min Chenghang laughed again. This time, his laughter was much happier. While laughing, he said to Zhao Xiangwan: "Will you keep your promise to uphold justice for the kind people?"
Zhao Xiangwan answered without hesitation: "Of course!"
The haze in Min Chenghang's eyes dissipated, and he felt much more relaxed: "Okay, I feel relieved to have good police officers like you."
He raised his head and glanced at the three policemen in front of him: "What do you need me to do? How do you need me to cooperate? Just tell me!"
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Where is Liu Shangjun now? How will he contact his accomplices? How can we ensure that no one is left out?"
Min Chenghang pondered for a moment: "I have Liu Shangjun's pager number. I used it to contact him last time. He is a frequent visitor to the coffee shop near Xinhua Road. In addition, I found out that he and Liang Yanling were having an affair at a dinner party with colleagues from the unit. I heard from Xiao Liang that she rented a house on Baoshe Road. This place might be their place of residence. If you want to ensure that no one is missed, it is best not to make a fuss and wait for them to make a move before catching them all in one fell swoop."
This time, it was Zhao Xiangwan's turn to laugh.
Min Chenghang asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Xiangwan waved his hands, stood up, and said to Gao Guangqiang: "No need to wait any longer, just arrest them, interrogate them quickly, and defeat them one by one."
Gao Guangqiang said without hesitation: "Okay. Who should I start with?"
Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang said in unison: "Liu Shangjun."
Liu Shangjun was reluctant to give up his job and was obviously the one who cared the most. It would be easiest to start with him.
Just like that, Gao Guangqiang was the first to walk out of the Public Security Bureau, and as expected, he saw Liu Shangjun who was anxiously waiting for Min Jiahuai at the door.
Liu Shangjun stopped Gao Guangqiang and asked, "Officer Gao, where is the person?"
Gao Guangqiang pretended not to know and instead lectured him, telling him not to think about his colleague's wife. Liu Shangjun was so angry that he felt a breath stuck in his chest, unable to breathe out or down, and felt very uncomfortable.
[I don't care about her! She's a sickly girl. Only Min Jiahang treats her like a treasure and doesn't even care about her life.]
[Never mind, Changshui and Aliang are still waiting for me at the hot pot restaurant, let’s come up with a plan as soon as possible.]
[If that bastard doesn't get the guy named Qiu out, this vote won't be successful.]
[They don't even want their daughter anymore? Damn, beasts!]
Liu Shangjun left in a daze, thinking about his troubles, feeling empty inside.
Gao Guangqiang glanced at Zhao Xiangwan who was standing behind him and had just changed out of his uniform.
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "I'll follow him, you guys wait for my notification."
Zhu Kang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zhao Xiangwan's gaze: "I am a girl and my target is not obvious. You ask the whole team to stand by and wait for my notice."
Five minutes later, Liu Shangjun, Gong Changshui and Geng Liang, who had just sat down to light up the hot pot, were subdued by the guys from the serious crime squad and taken back to the police station.
Time was running out, and Zhao Xiangwan did not give them any time to prepare and began to interrogate them one by one.
The first one is Liu Shangjun.
"Liu Shangjun?"
"yes."
Before Zhao Xiangwan could ask more questions, Liu Shangjun started to complain: "Police comrade, I just had a hot pot with my friends, is that against the law? You handcuffed me and interrogated me, what on earth are you trying to do?"
[Did this bastard Min Chenghang confess? Damn it! He only wants a wife, not a daughter, what a beast!]
【What did he recruit? Why did he recruit? 】
[I should have known better than to believe his lies and bring his wife to the police station. Damn it, he tricked me.]
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Why did you want to get Qiu Sanyong out?"
Liu Shangjun's eyes rolled around: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Zhao Xiangwan sneered: "No need to dodge, Min Chenghang has said everything."
Liu Shangjun turned around with a stubborn look on his face: "He is just a mad dog. After I scolded him at work, he wanted to take revenge on me."
【Dog stuff! Dog stuff! 】
【I shouldn't have believed his lies.】
[This business is a loss...]
Zhao Xiangwan: "Min Chenghang recorded the conversation we had in the cafe that day."
When Liu Shangjun heard this, he immediately started cursing: "F**k, **..."
Zhao Xiangwan said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Liu Shangjun tried hard to recall what he had said to Min Chenghang that day, and finally remembered that he only mentioned the need to get Qiu Sanyong out, and did not reveal what he wanted to do at all.
He regained his senses and refused to admit it: "There has never been such a thing. I was just asked by someone to see if I could rescue Qiu Sanyong. I just wanted to help, how could I have caused trouble?"
Zhao Xiangwan stared into his eyes and said slowly, "What you want to do is related to the bank, right?"
Liu Shangjun didn't say anything, but his wandering eyes expressed his guilt vividly.
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Very good, it seems that I guessed right."
Liu Shangjun quickly denied: "No, you guessed wrong!"
Zhao Xiangwan ignored his denial and asked, "Robbery of a money transport truck?"
Liu Shangjun's heartbeat quickened: "No!"
[How did she know? ]
[I didn’t tell that bastard Min Chenghang.]
[My people haven't even started to do anything yet, how did the police know about it? ]
Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "Very good, it seems that I guessed right again."
Liu Shangjun couldn't help but scream: "I clearly said it, how can you, a policeman, talk to yourself?"
Zhao Xiangwan just wanted to know the whole story: "To rob a money transport truck, you need someone who knows how to drive and handle firearms, right? Do you have enough people? Have you got the guns?"
Liu Shangjun didn't know why the interrogation turned out like this. It seemed that no matter what he said or did, Zhao Xiangwan just moved forward at his own pace.
[We have people, Aqiang and Aliang can use guns, but we don’t have any guns.]
[Aliang said that Qiu Sanyong got a batch of guns from the border before he was imprisoned, but only he knew where they were hidden.]
[Without a gun, how can we rob a money transport truck? We can only think of a way to get Qiu Sanyong out.]
Ah, so that's how it is.
Zhao Xiangwan finally understood the importance of Qiu Sanyong.
Qiu Sanyong bought (I don't know if he bought) a batch of guns from the border before the gun control was strictly enforced, and put them in a hidden place that only he knew. Maybe he originally planned to do something big and then escape, but because he committed a big robbery while drunk, the whereabouts of the guns became a mystery because he was imprisoned.
Although Liu Shangjun did not recognize Qiu Sanyong, they had a common friend, Aliang.
After seeing Qiu Sanyong's photo, Liu Shangjun came up with a bad idea: let Min Chenghang, who looked very similar to Qiu Sanyong, impersonate him and get Qiu Sanyong out.
"Criminal talents" like Qiu Sanyong, who know how to drive, understand guns, and have hidden a batch of guns, seem to be tailor-made for robbing money transport vehicles.
——Only three people are needed. After knowing the route of the money transport truck, when the money transport truck arrives at the first bank in the morning, they rush out, wielding assault rifles and firing a burst of shots, killing the escort and the driver. One drives, one kills, and one backs up. It only takes two minutes to take down a money transport truck and get millions.
Liu Shangjun was the bank's insider, responsible for informing them of the arrival time, driving route, escort personnel, and amount of the money transport vehicle. In addition, how to control Min Chenghang and inquire about the police information were also his job content.
Zhao Xiangwan raised his lips and looked at him with a sharp gaze: "It turns out that Qiu Sanyong is in charge of firearms."
Liu Shangjun opened his mouth again: "I didn't say that!"
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "You don't need to tell me, I know what you are thinking."
Liu Shangjun tightly closed his lips, lowered his eyes, and planned to play dead.
However, he was a straightforward person, and his surging thoughts kept popping up, and Zhao Xiangwan couldn't ignore them. If he had known that it would be so easy to get all the information, why would he bother to be so careful and cautious for fear of making trouble?
[I don't believe you can hear what I'm thinking.]
[Among our group, Ah Qiang is considered a veteran robber. I heard that he committed several robberies when he was young, and killed several people. But now that he is older, he has retired and makes a living by selling knives at the small commodity market at the railway station.]
[Aliang and Qiu Sanyong's knives were all purchased from Aqiang.]
[Aliang and Qiu Sanyong were comrades-in-arms, and they had a close relationship. When Qiu Sanyong committed a crime and went to jail, he was also imprisoned for a year because he went to Xing City to gamble with him. After Aliang was released, he always wanted to get Qiu Sanyong out and make a big profit.]
[Qiu Sanyong tried to escape from prison once, but failed. Instead, his sentence was extended. It is estimated that he will rarely be able to get out again in this lifetime.]
[Damn it, when I get out, I’m going to kill Min Chenghang first. I’m going to kill his wife and children in front of him. Let’s see what happens to him in the future…]
Zhao Xiangwan interrupted Liu Shangjun's brutal self-congratulation: "Is Aqiang, the knife seller, one of your people?"
Liu Shangjun let out an "ah" subconsciously, then immediately reacted, shaking his head repeatedly: "No, no."
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Besides Aqiang, Aliang, and Gong Changshui, who else do you have?"
Liu Shangjun let out an "ah" and stared at Zhao Xiangwan in a daze.
【Who else? It's not like the more people there are, the better.】
[Including Qiu Sanyong, there are five in total. Isn’t this enough? 】
[Yan Ling is at most a minor character. Her husband works at the Public Security Bureau, so it is convenient for her to get information.]
Zhao Xiangwan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said to Gao Guangqiang who was guarding the door: "Old Gao, is there anyone watching Aqiang?"
Gao Guangqiang nodded: "Yes."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "You can bring it over now."
Gao Guangqiang was convinced by Zhao Xiangwan's interrogation ability and followed his instructions. After arranging for someone to bring Ah Qiang back, he asked, "Is there anyone else?"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his index finger and gestured "nothing" in front of him.
Gao Guangqiang asked in surprise: "Really?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded.
If it were just these few people, that would be great!
The entire crime squad breathed a sigh of relief.
Previously, I was afraid that Liu Shang's army had too many followers, and I was afraid of alerting the enemy, so I didn't dare to act rashly. Now that Zhao Xiangwan said that they don't have many people, that's great.
Zhu Kang, who was in charge of taking notes, was dazzled by what was happening.
Zhao Xiangwan was able to make such a firm judgment by just asking a few questions? How did she do it?
After making sure that no one else was missed, Zhao Xiangwan returned to the interrogation room.
Zhu Kang asked her, "Are you still going to review it?"
Zhao Xiangwan sat back in his chair: "Shen, didn't this just begin?"
Just starting?
Then how did she come to that conclusion first?
Zhu Kang was puzzled, but he did not ask any further questions. He kept the question to himself and planned to ask again after the case was closed.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Liu Shangjun quietly and chuckled, "Aren't you going to confess? Do you have to wait for me to play Min Chenghang's recording?"
Liu Shangjun stiffened his neck and said, "I didn't do anything!"
Zhao Xiangwan took out the tape that Zhou Rulan had just brought and put it into the recorder.
Play button pressed.
The background music was a little loud, it was a lingering Cantonese song.
"How to face it,
The days we walked together,
Now I am alone.
How to let your inner voice speak to you. "
A conversation between two men can be faintly heard in the song.
"What do you want me to do?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"…The answer is obvious, isn't it?"
"I didn't expect you to be such a smart person."
"Tell me what you need me to do."
"I want you to turn yourself in to the police station and get him out."
"Why?"
"Just change it if I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Hearing this, cold sweat ran down Liu Shangjun's forehead.
【He really recorded it! 】
[Min Chenghang, I underestimated him.]
Zhao Xiangwan sneered, "You schemed against someone and had him kidnap his wife and daughter. He recorded your voice and reported it to the police. That's fair, isn't it?"
Liu Shangjun felt guilty, swallowed hard, and tried to force a smile: "I, I was just asked by someone to persuade him to take the blame. Police comrade, I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Who entrusted you with this?"
Faced with the police's relentless pressure, Liu Shangjun had to confess the truth: "Aliang, Gengliang."
Detectives with interrogation experience know that once the suspect's psychological defenses collapse, he will confess everything clearly.
In order to clear his name, Liu Shangjun confessed how many times he had slept with Liang Yanling, where he rented a house for her to meet with him, and how she had coaxed information out of her police officer husband.
Zhu Kang quietly raised his left hand to wipe the sweat off his face while taking notes. It was really hard to bear hearing gossip from a colleague.
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at him and said, "Why do you feel guilty about other people's scandals?"
Zhu Kang smiled bitterly: "This is not an acquaintance..."
Zhao Xiangwan: "When he leaked the information casually, he didn't think that it would affect our work."
When Zhu Kang heard this, the sweat on his head stopped immediately.
Yes, this guy is not careful with his mouth and asks around everywhere, he deserves to be cuckolded!
After asking Liu Shangjun, it was already past dinner time.
When Zhao Xiangwan came out of the interrogation room, he immediately saw Ji Zhao standing in the corridor waiting for him.
Ji Zhao is a criminal portrait expert specially hired by the Municipal Bureau, so it is normal for him to work in the Serious Cases Unit 1 office.
Zhao Xiangwan was a little surprised and walked quickly to him: "Why are you here?"
Ji Zhao saw her pale face and thought of how she had just started working intensively after being discharged from the hospital. He reached out his hand with some heartache to help her brush the bangs on her cheeks behind her ears.
【Have you had dinner? 】
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head a little embarrassedly.
She was too nervous just now, afraid of missing a criminal. It was not until she learned all the inside information from Liu Shangjun that she was able to focus on herself.
Ji Zhao sighed and handed a thermos bucket to her.
[I made two dishes, please eat them quickly.]
Zhao Xiangwan took the thermos bucket with surprise and waved to Zhu Kang and Zhou Rulan who were walking out of the interrogation room together: "Hurry up and go to the cafeteria to eat."
Zhu Kang and Zhou Rulan looked at each other and sighed at the same time, hoping that when this time passed, there would still be hot food in the cafeteria.
As Zhu Kang walked, he complained to Zhou Rulan: "You don't know, when they were dating, we could get some good food. Now they are getting more and more stingy. They only send food to Xiang Wan. Tsk tsk tsk."
[Will there be an interrogation at night? ]
Hearing Ji Zhao's question, Zhao Xiangwan dragged him to the office and replied, "Yes, we must conduct a surprise interrogation tonight. There is no other way."
【Can it be finished before 10 o'clock? 】
Zhao Xiangwan thought for a moment and said, "There are still three of us, so it should be possible."
【Then I'll wait here. 】
"Okay, I'll try to be quick then."
Hearing Ji Zhao's insistence, Zhao Xiangwan did not refuse. He walked to the office with him, asked him to sit down, and opened the thermos.
The aroma of rice fills the air.
A stainless steel thermos bucket with vegetables on the top and rice on the bottom.
On top of the dish were two side dishes made by Ji Zhao himself: scrambled eggs with green onions and stir-fried dried green peppers. Dried black bean peppers were specially added according to Zhao Xiangwan's taste.
After spending a long time with Zhao Xiangwan, Ji Zhao realized that she did not like overly luxurious dishes, and preferred farm dishes like this. So he learned from his father for a while, and finally became a master. The home-cooked dishes he made were very much to Zhao Xiangwan's taste.
Zhao Xiangwan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled: "Thank you."
Ji Zhao reached out and rubbed her head without saying anything.
Only the young couple were left in the office, warm and peaceful.
After Zhao Xiangwan finished his meal, the people from the serious crime squad pushed open the door and came out all at once.
Gao Guangqiang greeted Ji Zhao: "Ji Zhao is here."
Zhu Feipeng squeezed his eyes at Ji Zhao and said, "The great painter is here."
Zhu Kang, Ai Hui, and Huang Yuande shouted together, "Here they are?"
