Around midnight.
Three hours have passed since the shooting at the Lung Fung Tea House.
An Xin returned to the scene dejectedly and dialed the bureau's number from a roadside phone booth.
He failed to catch the person; the other party escaped too quickly, and he had no idea which way they had run away. He knocked on the doors of several houses along the way, but found no clues. Instead, he was scolded for a while.
After all, it's late at night, and people need to sleep too; they have to go to work tomorrow.
Beep beep beep!
It took a long time for someone to answer the phone; it was Xiao Wu.
An Xin held the phone and kept asking, "The person has been taken to the police hospital, right? He can talk and his life is saved? Okay, what did Zhang Biao say? Did he contact the suspect? He won't say anything no matter what? Okay, I understand, I'm on my way there now."
"It's so late, why don't you go tomorrow, Anxin? I know you're anxious about the case, but you should also take care of yourself," Xiao Wu said with concern.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The less you interrogate them immediately, the harder it is to break down their defenses. Time is of the essence in solving a case. What do you know?"
An Xin coldly uttered a sentence and hung up immediately, then hurriedly transferred to the Public Security Hospital.
Half an hour later, An Xin rushed to the Public Security Hospital.
Zhang Biao was leading the team, and Li Xiang was also there. There were people guarding the entrance.
"How's the situation?" An Xin asked.
Zhang Biao said, "You were shot in the leg, the bullet has been removed, and you're fine. But this guy is stubborn and won't say anything."
An Xin pondered for a moment, seemingly having expected this, and said, "It's right that he didn't reveal it. The one who ran away must be his younger brother. Brothers wouldn't betray each other so easily, but I have a way."
"What's the plan? Anxin, don't do anything reckless. The higher-ups are cracking down on interrogation procedures these days. If we break the rules even slightly, we could all be called in for questioning," Zhang Biao warned.
Li Xiang, who was standing to the side, was a little absent-minded. Hearing this, he quickly added, "Yes, An Xin, solving cases is important, but we still need to pay attention to our methods."
An Xin said, "I know my limits. Wait here, I'll go make a call first. I forgot to change my phone battery, can I borrow yours for now?"
For some reason, Li Xiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mine is out of power too."
Zhang Biao offered, "Use mine. I have two batteries and I carry a universal charger with me."
An Xin took his phone, walked to the stairwell, and quickly dialed Director Guo's number.
"Hello? Zhang Biao!"
An Xin said, "It's Director Guo. We've got one person under control, but he absolutely refuses to talk."
Director Guo said with a worried expression, "Okay, I know, Zhang Biao reported it to me. An Xin, you've done a great job this time! But you can't keep quiet. Chen Tai's social connections are very complicated. Even the leaders of the Municipal Bureau have personally intervened, and the Provincial Department just called me to inquire. So, I'm under a lot of pressure now. You have to find a way to get the arrested suspect to talk. Besides the one who's still at large, we also need to find out who's behind them!"
“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. Director Guo, I’ve come up with a plan that will definitely get him to talk, but the interrogation methods are a bit against the rules,” An Xin said.
"What about using normal interrogation methods?"
An Xin said confidently, "It's basically impossible. This suspect is a seasoned gunman. He's obviously got a murder case on his hands, and he's very wary. Conventional interrogation methods won't work on him. Besides, I heard at the scene that the two gunmen were brothers. Now that one of them has escaped, he's even less likely to talk. So, we have to use some tricks."
"Okay, I support you in doing this, but don't go too far, and you can't let anything happen to the suspect, otherwise I won't be able to withstand the pressure."
"No, my method is to break down his psychological defenses, it's psychological warfare, I won't use physical force."
"Okay, let me know as soon as you get the results. My phone is on 24/7."
"Yes, Director Guo!"
Having received permission from his superiors, An Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the ward door, gave Zhang Biao a few instructions, and then, carrying the equipment, pushed open the ward door.
The ringleader, who was eventually captured, was now handcuffed to an emergency bed, his face pale and silent.
He had just undergone surgery to remove the bullet; his injuries weren't actually that serious.
Upon seeing An Xin and the others enter, he immediately turned his face away.
"Hehe, so resistant to us? Let's chat!" An Xin walked over and said with a smile.
The big man completely ignored him, as if he hadn't heard him at all.
Zhang Biao couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, this guy has been like this ever since he came in, he won't say a word no matter what, could he be mute?"
An Xin glared at him, then turned around, pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed. The big man was about to turn his head, but An Xin pressed his hands against his face, making him unable to move.
The burly man glared angrily at An Xin.
But An Xin smiled and said, "You're pretty stubborn. Do you have a murder case on your hands?"
The burly man frowned and said expressionlessly, "Don't waste my time. If I get caught, I'll consider it bad luck; I'll accept being shot. Heh, I told you long ago, you can't mess around with women before doing business. What a damn bad luck!"
An Xin sneered, "Can you deny it? You're shooting someone in the street. What do you think human life is? No one has the right to trample on another's life at will. Who do you think you are? God? You're not unlucky; you're bound to be caught sooner or later. Including your escaped brother, all you can do now is pray that we catch him. Otherwise, he won't live past tonight."
