Chapter 51 He is the unlucky one

Cheng Hao hummed when he heard it.

"That Niu Hongli has been hanging out in nightclubs for years. Just because he helped Pingzi once, the two became friends. You also know Pingzi's character. Once he recognizes a brother, he would be willing to give his heart to him. The other party took advantage of this point and attacked him."

"I know this too. All the suspects have been interrogated one by one. Several of them insisted that Pingzi provided the trading funds. Pingzi said that he lent the money to Niu Hongli, but there was no IOU, so his words were groundless."

Listening to Chang Hui's narration, Cheng Hao was silent for a moment.

"When Niu Hongli tried to get Pingzi to join the partnership, I heard about it and advised him not to get involved. Pingzi felt that we were brothers and wanted to help his grandson. In the end, I suggested that he should lend money rather than get involved. I didn't expect that he would take the bait anyway."

"Interrogation is your specialty. Can't you pry open the mouth of a liar?"

"Tsk, don't provoke me. These bastards are all desperate criminals. They usually hang out in nightclubs and are used to bloody scenes. They are not afraid of our tricks at all."

Chang Hui glanced at him, sat down next to him, and sighed.

"The key point now is to get them to admit that the money is borrowed, so that the bottle can be freed. Otherwise, they can only learn to operate a sewing machine."

"Can I see the bottle?"

Cheng Hao twirled his fingers, thinking of the little magic stick's words, feeling a little guilty. He should have tried his best to stop it.

"I'll go with you."

Chang Hui held the key and stepped on the concrete floor with his military boots. The sound of his boots made one's heart tremble in such a solemn place.

I opened the door and saw Zhang Baoping sitting on a stool with a teasing iron in his hands and his head lowered dejectedly.

He looked at the two people walking in from the door against the light, his eyes lit up, and he almost overturned the table when he stood up. His skirt was stuck on the table leg and he couldn't stand up straight.

"Brother Hui, Brother Hao, I am innocent. I really had no involvement. It was Niu Hongli's grandson who tricked me."

"Now I know I'm worried. I told you to be more careful, but you didn't listen. What's the point of talking about brotherhood with a guy like that? If he had that, he wouldn't do anything illegal."

Cheng Hao walked up to him and looked down at him.

"It's no use regretting it now... They insist that you provided the funds, and we have no evidence, so you should just stay still for now."

Zhang Baoping was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

"Brother Hao, thank you. If you hadn't stopped me in time, I would have become a national sinner like Niu Hongli."

If that were true, he would have no face to live. But the lesson he learned this time was enough for him to remember for the rest of his life.

It was his first time to suffer such a big setback, so he accepted it.

Chang Hui had already told him that as long as the other party insisted that the money was provided by him, it would be difficult for him to get away with the crime of drug trafficking.

"I was blind. I treated him as a brother and didn't want to hurt our brotherhood, so I didn't let him write the IOU."

Zhang Baoping sighed and turned to look at Chang Hui.

"When I gave Niu Hongli the money, he had people with him, and he heard everything I said. Niu Hongli is stubborn, and that guy doesn't look tough, so can't we pry him open?"

Are all the bad guys nowadays so hard-mouthed?

Listening to Zhang Baoping's question, Cheng Hao turned his head and looked at Chang Hui, "Is there a third person present?"

"He was right. According to the description on the bottle, the guy was called Chen Ergou, and he was Niu Hongli's subordinate. But when he was arrested, he was injured and unconscious, lying in the hospital, so it was impossible to record a statement."
