The accompanying detectives were all furious, but they didn't dare to do anything to someone of Tiger's caliber.
An Xin, on the other hand, immediately turned cold and ordered, "Cuff him and take him away! If he dares to resist, shoot him on the spot for assaulting a police officer!"
Tiger sneered, stretching out his hands with disdain, his arrogance reaching a fever pitch: "Fine, you've got guts, kid. Come on, let's see who dares to do this! If you dare take me away today, we'll see who's the unlucky one!"
There were many onlookers, pointing and whispering about An Xin and his group.
"What are you standing there for? If anything happens, I'll take responsibility! Take him away!" An Xin shouted, his temper flaring.
Now that the detectives felt emboldened, they took action.
Tiger was pinned to the ground, handcuffed, and stuffed into a police car.
Tiger was utterly humiliated and felt utterly disgraced. He became even more furious and arrogant, cursing incessantly, "You son of a bitch, I've got your badge number. You're dead!"
"That's too arrogant!"
"They deserved to be arrested. It's like God has eyes. They drove my daughter to her death!"
"It's no use. He has connections and backing. He'll probably be released after a couple of days."
"Sigh, what a world!"
The onlookers applauded and cheered, but some sighed and said something.
These days, people like Tiger who have made their fortunes have more or less blood on their hands and have done a lot of heinous things.
In the interrogation room.
Tiger remained arrogant, handcuffed on the table, his face full of disdain. He refused to answer any of An Xin and Li Xiang's questions, his arrogance only telling them to speak to their lawyer.
"Li Hu, get this straight, you've committed organized crime! Do you think this is a Hong Kong movie? A lawyer, huh? If you don't confess, you'll be spending the rest of your life in jail!" Li Xiang said sternly, tapping the table.
Tiger laughed and said, "Oh, I think you've got it wrong. I'm a legitimate businessman. What gangsters? I don't know anything about them."
Li Xiang asked, "You know Ma Liang, right? What's your relationship with him?"
Tiger shook his head, feigning ignorance, and said, "Ma Liang? I don't know him."
Li Xiang was furious and loudly questioned, "Ma Liang works as a bouncer at your Wanshi Haoting KTV. You see each other every day, and you're saying you don't know him?"
"Oh, you mean Manager Ma? I hired him as general manager, but I don't know the specifics of what's going on at the KTV. You know, a big boss like me has a lot on my plate every day. During the day I'm dealing with business, and at night I have a dozen or so mistresses waiting for me to take turns sleeping with them. How could I possibly have time to manage that lousy KTV?"
Tiger pretended to suddenly realize something, and after speaking, stared at Li Xiang with a provocative look.
This is clearly a joke on oneself.
Li Xiang clenched his fists in anger, but eventually let go. There were rules in the bureau, and if he really got provoked into violence, then Tiger would have many reasons to file a complaint against him.
An Xin watched for a while, then patted Li Xiang on the shoulder, signaling him to go out.
After the two came out, in the corridor, An Xin poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Xiang, who was full of anger, saying, "Why are you so agitated? I've never seen you like this before. It's not like this is the first time you've encountered this kind of person."
"You don't know, I received two reports before, both involving high school girls who were abducted to Wanshi Mansion by him. But I conducted several surprise inspections and found no evidence. This man is a beast!" Li Xiang said angrily.
"Don't rush, you have to take it slow with this kind of person. Go and rest first, I'll call the other brothers over."
An Xin patted him on the shoulder and said.
Conventional interrogation methods are no longer effective against a seasoned veteran like Tiger.
Anxin arranged for three shifts of team members to take turns questioning Tiger, and the questions were always the same.
After three attempts, Tiger finally got impatient and his temper flared up. He yelled, "Are you fucking done yet? Are you out of your minds? You keep asking the same question. Are you sick in the head?"
An Xin smiled, appearing very patient, and continued to ask, "Tell me more about the details of how you met Ma Liang. On the night of the 29th, before Ma Liang led people to smash up the Jifeng E-sports Internet Cafe and the Wanziqianhong KTV, did he contact you?"
"Are you fucking an idiot? I've told you so many times, I don't know!" Tiger said angrily.
An Xin smiled and said, "That's not right. Last time you answered that you hadn't been in contact, but now you're saying you don't know. See, there's a discrepancy. So, we need to ask you again from the beginning. Anyway, there's no rush. We have plenty of time. According to regulations, we can detain you for at least 24 hours. If the case isn't cleared up, I can apply for an extension to 48 hours. Look, only three hours have passed. It's still early."
"You're fucking crazy, insane! I demand a break!" Tiger slammed his fists on the table, his hands still in handcuffs.
An Xin laughed and said, "Hey, you can't do it like this. I need to get the questions cleared up before I can let you rest. If you violently resist the law, then I can put you under administrative detention, at least for three days."
“I have no answer. My relationship with Ma Liang is just a normal employment relationship. What he does outside has nothing to do with me. You can ask me a hundred times and it will still be the same.”
"Let's talk about the old street project."
"I'm a victim of the old street construction project!"
An Xin looked enlightened and continued, "Oh right, you lost the Old Street project because of Gao Qiqiang's instigation. Then, unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and Tang Ping and Shanshui Group took it over. That's not right, you should have taken revenge on Gao Qiqiang, why did you send Ma Liang to sabotage Tang Ping's business?"
"I felt something was off from the start too. That idiot Ma Liang insisted we couldn't back down and should smash it first..."
As Tiger was speaking, he suddenly realized he had let something slip, immediately shut up, glared at An Xin, and said angrily, "You fucking tricked me into telling me this!"
"Hehe, you see, your problem isn't actually that serious. It was Ma Liang who caused the disturbance; he'll only get a year or two in prison at most. If you can get the parties' forgiveness and compensate them for their losses, you might be out in a few months. However, you were used in this, which is a bit of a loss for you."
After hearing what was said, Tiger finally understood the whole story.
It seems very suspicious that one of Hu Xiandong's henchmen deliberately went to his own territory to frame him.
He had realized that he had been used as a pawn, but at this point, it was too late for regrets.
After that, no matter how An Xin asked, Tiger remained silent.
An Xin originally planned to detain him for 48 hours to see if he could extract some new information from him.
But to his surprise, the next morning, as soon as he arrived at the station, he learned that Tiger had already been released.
