Chapter 326 Release the person
As for Lin Xiaotao, who had been captured by that group of people, two interrogators were sitting in front of her.
"Please state your name and background."
"Lin Xiaotao, a poor peasant."
"Tell me, why did you leave the research institute, what was your purpose, and who did you come into contact with? Explain everything clearly."
"I don't quite understand what you're trying to ask."
"What are you asking? Don't you even know what you've done? Don't try to deny it to us! If we didn't have solid evidence, you wouldn't be sitting here in front of us!"
"I left the research institute to come back for the Chinese New Year, and the people I met were all my family members."
"That's not a very nice thing to say."
"Alright, why waste words with her? Let's just use torture to extract a confession. This kind of person won't give up until they're completely cornered; they should be nailed to the pillar of shame!"
"Keep your voice down."
"What's the point of keeping your voice down? These people have done wrong and betrayed us, why should we be nice to them?"
Little Peach Blossom looked at the two of them and sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.
It can only be said that she has not experienced enough.
Meanwhile, Xiao Pei-chuan, who was with her, was in another interrogation room. The questions asked by both sides were similar, but Xiao Pei-chuan immediately realized why these people had arrested them. However, after realizing it, he felt it was absurd.
Did they do something wrong?
How could that be!
But the result before him clearly showed Xiao Peichuan that even if they knew they hadn't done anything wrong, this group of people didn't believe it.
There might even be evidence against them.
This is a bit tricky.
I just hope these people don't go so far as to resort to torture to extract confessions, otherwise they don't know what kind of suffering they'll endure when someone comes to rescue them.
Therefore, when faced with interrogation by these people, Xiao Peichuan could only say, "You've arrested the wrong person. We didn't do anything."
"Didn't do it? If you hadn't done it, something would have happened to the research institute after you left. Do you know how many people your actions have harmed, and how much your country has lost! In fact, there have been casualties at your research institute, and some people are still missing! All of this is your fault. Don't you feel ashamed? What has the country done to wrong you?!"
Xiao Pei-chuan repeated the same words: "You've arrested the wrong person."
"Arrested the wrong people? Impossible! Someone saw you contacting someone before you left. That person was also arrested, and he vomited up several people, but you were the ones he vomited up before he died. Do you know how he died? He died a horrible death. He couldn't endure the torture any longer and exposed his enemies one by one. He wasn't even in his right mind. Do you think someone like that would slander you?"
"That's right. Without his testimony, we wouldn't believe that such parasites as you two could exist within our ranks! Your backgrounds are clean, you seem to have no problems whatsoever. We never expected that we would have such a blind eye. You should know that you are even more despicable than those who were recruited abroad. They may have had their reasons, but you deserve to be torn to pieces!"
Xiao Peichuan listened intently to every word, but he remained steadfast in his conviction: "You've arrested the wrong person."
"She's absolutely stubborn!"
"Let's use torture to extract a confession!" another person suggested.
"Xiao Peichuan, have you thought this through? You won't be as comfortable as you are now if you're subjected to torture and forced confessions."
"I told you, you've arrested the wrong person."
"You've arrested the wrong person? The evidence is all there; if you want to argue your case, you should at least come up with a plausible reason!"
"A suitable reason? Do you think we need to help outsiders to deal with our own people? Don't forget, we have plenty of money and a bit of power. What right do you think those people have to turn us against us?" Xiao Peichuan looked at the two men with a cold gaze.
Although he understands these people, he does not agree with them.
Testimony and physical evidence constitute a process of proof, but don't they consider that it might be false evidence?
Do you really trust things extracted through torture?
No need for even thinking?
Hsiao Pei-chuan disagreed: "If you just believe whatever others say, or even think we are guilty, then we have nothing to say."
"Good, very good, as expected of the eldest young master of the Xiao family, excellent!"
"Take him to the interrogation room!"
"yes!"
Xiao Peichuan stared coldly at the two of them.
"Don't worry, if you're still like this when we get there, I'll respect you as a real man!"
The two watched helplessly as Xiao Peichuan was pushed away, their expressions becoming increasingly irritated.
"Captain, have we really arrested the wrong person?"
"We have both witnesses and physical evidence; they are just making excuses!"
"But they really have no reason to do such a thing."
“Sometimes the reasons don’t hold water. When dealing with these kinds of people, it’s better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!” The captain’s eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity.
He had witnessed too much leniency, and because of it, their team had lost too many people.
Having reached his current position, he has experienced too much, and naturally, he doesn't retain the naive simplicity of his subordinates.
With such compelling evidence, what's the reason? Who cares what the reason was for the other party being turned?
This couple definitely has a problem.
The captain even discovered that Lin Xiaotao was very strange, and the things he secretly investigated sent chills down his spine.
If Lin Xiaotao has really been turned, then her small town will become even more terrifying to think about.
The people there have unwavering faith in Lin Xiaotao. If something were to happen to Lin Xiaotao one day, would those people rise up in rebellion?
That's why the captain wanted to use torture to extract a confession as quickly as possible.
We cannot give outsiders time to prepare.
Otherwise, the captain really doesn't know what kind of trouble would result.
Because Lin Xiaotao's situation is too strange.
However, the captain wanted to finish the job quickly, even sending the man for torture and interrogation, but Xiao Peichuan was stopped before he could even step out the door.
"Let him go!"
"This is a criminal suspect."
"Let him go!"
Upon hearing the commotion, the team leader and another member quickly went over.
However, when they saw who it was, their expressions changed simultaneously: "Minister?!"
"You've come at the right time. Release them."
"Minister, who is this person...?"
Before the other party could finish speaking, they bluntly said, "I know what you're trying to say, but they aren't! Release them!"
“We have evidence, solid evidence, we’re just waiting for them to confess!” The captain remained unmoved.
"What? You won't even listen to me?"
"I'm just defending justice."
"Justice? What a load of bull! Arresting the wrong person is aiding and abetting evil!"
The captain looked at the minister and said, "I don't think we arrested the wrong person. All the witnesses and evidence are complete."
That's slander!
"Captain, you're so agitated, I'm starting to suspect you might have something going on too." The captain was genuinely suspicious now, because being able to get into the research institute essentially meant there was definitely someone with an even bigger background behind him.
Now the minister has rushed over in a hurry and, without saying a word, only ordered the release of the person. The captain felt even more strongly that the person should not be released, and he even wanted to submit a report that the minister should also be investigated!
