Director Zhao and Zhao Daming's expressions changed immediately.
Someone's dead! This is a huge problem!
Especially at this critical juncture when the city is striving for a higher rating.
With this incident, the rating process for Funing County is likely to fall through.
Zhao Daming suddenly stood up, his expression grave, staring at Su Hao, his voice low: "Have you caught those pickpockets who escaped?"
"Caught two!"
"Bring them in for questioning immediately!"
The only hope to save Zhang Cheng and the rating of Funing County now lies with these pickpockets.
Director Zhao's face was very grim. He looked at Zhao Daming and said, "Director Zhao, we should suppress this matter for as long as possible. I'm going to see the vice mayor right now."
“I understand!” Zhao Daming nodded.
This matter is no longer just about how many years Zhang Cheng will be sentenced to; it relates to the efforts Funing County has made over the past few years.
There were eight pickpockets in total. Four were sent to the hospital, two were just caught, and two escaped.
At this moment, in the interrogation room, Zhao Daming lit a cigarette and looked at the young man handcuffed to the interrogation chair.
Zhao Daming didn't say anything, he just kept smoking.
The interrogation room was eerily quiet, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
The handcuffed young man couldn't help but swallow hard; despite the freezing weather, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Daming suddenly spoke: "Speak, this is your last chance."
The young man trembled, his lips shaking: "Officer, we...we were just doing our duty. We saw that person bullying a child, and we couldn't help it..."
"A heroic act? Ha, you're going to do a heroic act with a cleaver in your hand?" Zhao Daming sneered, interrupting him, "First, state your name and where you're from!"
"Officer, my name is A-Liu. I don't know where I'm from. I was sold by human traffickers when I was a child..."
Zhao Daming didn't interrupt again, and just listened until the young man's voice grew softer and softer before he spoke again: "I gave you a chance to be honest, but you didn't cherish it."
Zhao Daming slowly turned around.
Su Hao and another police officer immediately stepped forward.
"What...what do you want to do..."
With a blank expression, Su Hao stripped the young man of his clothes and handcuffed his hands behind his back to the chair.
Another police officer picked up a water bottle and poured the cold water on the young man.
These days, interrogation methods are so direct... it's not really torture, just standard procedure.
The cold water made the young man shiver all over, his teeth chattering.
"call--"
Zhao Daming turned on the electric fan on the interrogation table.
A cold wind howled.
The water on my body quickly froze into a thin layer of ice.
Su Hao put on cotton gloves, picked up a pair of pliers, and waved them in front of the young man.
"I confess, I confess everything!" The young man finally couldn't take it anymore.
Zhao Daming's eyes lit up. He reached out and turned off the fan, coldly saying, "Speak!"
The young man trembled all over, his lips turned purple, and his voice trembled: "We...we robbed the supply and marketing cooperative in Jinshi and killed three sales clerks!"
"You did it?" Zhao Daming's eyes widened, both surprised and delighted.
The 10.12 case was a major case that shocked the entire country!
I never dreamed that this group of desperados would wander into Funing County, and even get into a conflict with Zhang Cheng, and be caught red-handed!
"Su Hao, take notes!"
"yes!"
Su Hao was also extremely excited. Solving such a sensational case meant his future was bright!
Zhang Cheng, that kid, was really destined to survive!
Zhao Daming thought to himself, if this case is confirmed, Zhang Cheng will not only be fine, but will also make a great contribution and may even catch the eye of the city leaders.
The fact that Funing County cracked the 10.12 major case is an absolute huge plus for its rating!
A dozen minutes later.
Zhao Daming, filled with excitement, jogged out of the interrogation room and rushed back to his office, grabbing the phone to call the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee.
Upon hearing that the perpetrator of the Jinshi 10.12 major case had been apprehended in Funing County, all the city's leaders were alarmed.
At the same time, in the detention cell.
Zhang Cheng sat against the wall, still racking his brains to figure out how to escape.
"Clang!"
The iron gate was suddenly opened.
"You must be Zhang Cheng?"
Zhao Daming walked in with a big smile on his face, looking Zhang Cheng up and down as he stood up.
"And you are?"
“My name is Zhao Daming, the director here!” Zhao Daming strode forward, took out his key, and unlocked Zhang Cheng’s handcuffs with a “click.” He laughed and said, “Zhongguo mentioned you to me, asking me to take care of you when I have the chance… But speaking of which, you were too ruthless. The pickpocket whose thigh you stabbed is already dead.”
Zhang Cheng's heart sank, but seeing Zhao Daming's attitude, he felt something was wrong. The man was dead, so why was he still smiling at him and even unlocking his handcuffs?
Could it be... that those pickpockets really committed a heinous crime?
"Alright!"
Zhao Daming patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, "Let's go outside first!"
"Okay!" Zhang Cheng didn't ask any more questions and obediently followed Zhao Daming out of the detention room.
Zhao Daming led Zhang Cheng to his office on the second floor, poured him a cup of hot water, and then said, "You've really hit the jackpot. Those guys are wanted criminals who committed a major crime in Jin City. Not only are you unharmed, but you've actually done a great service. The Party Secretary and the Mayor will be coming over later..."
A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the office.
The door was pushed open, and a man in his forties entered. He wore a Zhongshan suit, black-rimmed glasses, and had a rather imposing air about him. He was followed by seven or eight other people.
