Upon arriving at the interrogation room, Li Wenbin personally made a cup of coffee for Shen Dong and Ou Yongen.
The two waited for a full half hour, but Smith, who was supposed to ask them questions, still hadn't arrived.
Ou Yongen glanced at the surveillance footage and said disdainfully, "It seems like Deputy Director Smith is deliberately keeping us waiting."
Shen Dong took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "He's an idiot. Using the same methods he uses on thugs against me, I really don't know if he's lost his mind."
When their conversation reached the monitoring room, Smith was furious, his face turning ashen. He cursed, "What a bastard!"
Li Wenbin, who was standing next to him, quickly pursed his lips to avoid bursting out laughing.
The other monitoring personnel were also holding back their efforts.
Smith stormed out of the monitoring room, and Li Wenbin immediately followed.
One is an eagle-wing supporter, the other an inland supporter; naturally, their relationship isn't good.
On the way from the monitoring room to the interrogation room, Li Wenbin and Smith did not exchange a single word, nor did they even look at each other.
This shows that the struggle between the two factions has reached a point of irreconcilable conflict.
Upon entering the interrogation room, Li Wenbin subtly gestured to Chen Dong with his eyes, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
The two men sat down, and Li Wenbin introduced them: "Mr. Shen, this is Mr. Smith, our Deputy Commissioner of Police."
"Bang"
Shen Dong slammed his fist on the table and roared, "I don't care who he is. Li Wenbin, what do you mean by leaving us here for half an hour? Are you trying to intimidate me? Do you know how much money I make in half an hour? You might not be able to afford to pay for it even if you went bankrupt."
pretty!
Li Wenbin inwardly praised him, but said aloud, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I was just following orders."
Shen Dong shouted angrily, "Which bastard gave you the order? I'm going to file a complaint against him. Damn it, you son of a bitch, you don't do anything important, you just do these crooked things, what kind of person are you?"
Comfortable!
Seeing Shen Dong unleash his full power and berate Smith mercilessly, Li Wenbin felt a surge of satisfaction from the inside out.
Because of his higher rank, Smith often made things difficult for Li Wenbin, which greatly angered Li Wenbin.
Shen Dong's scathing rebuke has finally gotten him revenge.
Smith said coldly, "Mr. Shen, this is the police station, not a place where you can throw a tantrum and curse."
Ou Yongen immediately retorted, "Deputy Director Smith, we are not suspects, we are just here to cooperate with your investigation, and we hope you can be more friendly towards us."
Shen Dong glanced at Smith and said bluntly, "Who are you trying to fool with that cold face? Or are you just naturally unable to smile? If it's the latter, I'll forgive you. If it's the former, go find somewhere cool and squat down. I'm not here to be bullied."
"Bang"
Smith slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, braced himself on the table with both arms, and roared, "Do you know who you're talking to?"
"boom"
Shen Dong mustered all his strength and slammed a large hole in the table, like setting off a cannon. He pointed at Smith's nose and cursed, "Stop putting on airs. In my eyes, you're nothing."
Arrogant!
Extremely arrogant!
Since becoming the deputy commissioner of police, Smith had never been insulted like this to his face. He was furious and said through gritted teeth, "Shen Dong, I'm going to arrest you and put you in jail."
Ou Yongen didn't understand why Shen Dong would deliberately provoke Smith, but as Shen Dong's woman, Ou Yongen naturally stood by his side without hesitation, saying, "Deputy Director Smith, I need to remind you that Mr. Shen has not broken the law, and you have no right to detain him."
Smith said, "I can detain him for forty-eight hours."
Ou Yongen nodded and said, "That's your right. But I must warn you, Mr. Shen is worth tens of billions of US dollars and has a lot of assets. If your detention causes serious losses to his business, you will be fully responsible."
Li Wenbin, who was watching the drama unfold, whispered in Smith's ear, "Shen Dong's business is indeed very large. Once he pins the hundreds of millions of losses on you and takes you to court, you'll be in big trouble."
Upon hearing Li Wenbin's reminder, Smith's expression changed.
When questioning wealthy individuals, the police are generally very cautious to avoid causing them significant losses.
Previously, a police superintendent was falsely accused by a wealthy man who claimed that because he was arbitrarily detained for 24 hours, the 130 million dollar deal fell through, forcing the superintendent to retire early.
If Shen Dong were to pull the same stunt, and with the media hype surrounding it, he might end up following in the footsteps of that police superintendent.
Thinking of this, Smith forced himself to calm down and said, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I acted impulsively just now."
Shen Dong was slightly taken aback, and looked Smith over again, thinking to himself, "No wonder this guy can become the deputy commissioner of police. His ability to be flexible and adaptable is something that not everyone possesses. Even after I provoked him like that, he still managed to hold back. He's really impressive."
"It's alright. Mr. Smith, I was a little impulsive just now, I hope you don't mind." Shen Dong's angry expression instantly turned into a smile, as if nothing had happened.
fox!
Smith immediately gave Shen Dong this definition.
Seeing the two of them change their expressions so quickly, Li Wenbin was speechless.
They had someone move them to a different table, and the questioning officially began.
Smith asked, "Mr. Shen, what are your thoughts on Zheng Tong's death?"
Shen Dong said calmly, "Yesterday, this guy's son was kidnapped, and he made me swear that I would never be able to have a son in my life. I gave him a good scolding. Today he's dead, and I can only say that God has eyes."
Smith looked into Shen Dong's eyes and said, "Our police suspect that you had someone do this?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I even suspect it was the American conglomerate. Their relationship with the four major families isn't very good. Mr. Smith, you wouldn't be protecting the American conglomerate just because you're American, would you?"
Smith said, "I will investigate."
How do we conduct the investigation?
"when?"
"Who should we question?"
Shen Dong immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack, saying, "The person who killed Zheng Tong could be the American conglomerate, or it could be one of the other three major families. Mr. Smith, besides me, who else did you bring here?"
Smith was speechless.
Ou Yongen sneered, "Mr. Shen, judging from Mr. Smith's expression, they probably only came to you. Maybe the police think you're the easiest to bully."
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Then I have nothing to say."
