Zhang Gongan was not in a hurry. He turned to the young police officer next to him and said, "Xiao Liu, go get the photos developed and ask Boss Xu to come over."
Xiao Liu responded and deliberately made his footsteps very heavy, walking out with a "thump thump thump" sound.
Wu Sangui's eyes followed Xiao Liu, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down.
Police officer Zhang struck while the iron was hot: "Wu Sangui, if you confess now, it can still be considered surrendering. But if we wait until the evidence is laid on the table, it will be an ironclad case! Then you'll be convicted of endangering public safety, and you'll be sentenced to at least three or four years in prison!"
Wu Sangui swallowed his saliva, his lips trembling twice, but he still insisted: "I, I really didn't do it..."
Seeing Wu Sangui still being stubborn, Zhang Gongan suddenly threw his cigarette butt to the ground, sending sparks flying high: "Good of you, Wu Sangui! You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"
He suddenly opened the drawer, pulled out a black leather notebook, and slammed it on the table: "Do you recognize this?"
Wu Sangui stretched his neck to take a look, and his expression changed drastically.
The notebook was clearly stamped with the five red characters "Xu's Auto Repair Shop" - it was the place where he stole the triangular nails last time!
"Boss Xu, you've reported the crime," Officer Zhang said, flipping open his notebook and pointing to the entry. "On the evening of October 8th, you climbed over the wall into his backyard and stole two pounds of triangular nails."
Then he took out a rusty iron box from his pocket and said, "The iron box containing nails is still hidden under your kang mat!"
Soon, the door was pushed open, and Boss Xu, wearing oil-stained blue work clothes and carrying a flashlight, rushed in: "That's him! I saw him clearly in the moonlight that day!"
Old Xu was so angry that his beard was shaking. "After stealing the nails, he also took one of my laying hens! My family is full of elderly people and children. I'm afraid he might attack others, so I don't dare go out!"
Wu Sangui was really panicking now, his handcuffs rattling. "I, I didn't do that. You're slandering me!"
"Slander?" Zhang Gongan sneered. "Should we go search your house now? Or call your sister Wu Jinhua out to question her?"
As he said this, he opened the cloth bag that Wu Sangui was holding when he was arrested just now, and took out an iron box with "Xu Ji Auto Repair Shop" printed on it!
"Boss Xu, I bought this from your store, right? Please recall who has bought this triangular nail from your store in the past two days!"
Boss Xu was about to speak when Public Security Zhang signaled Xiao Liu to take him to the next room to write it down!
After Xiao Liu took his men away, the interrogation room suddenly became eerily quiet. Only the "Leniency for Confessions" banner hanging on the wall swayed slightly in the draft.
Wu Sangui stared at the faded characters on the banner.
After a while, he suddenly burst into tears: "I confess! I confess everything!"
It turned out that it was because of that piece of land that Wu Jinhua was jealous of the Li family's repair shop, so she instigated her brother to do something bad.
They planned that if the Li family's shop could not continue to operate, they would snatch it away at a low price. That way, the business of running a shop on the highway could be transferred to the Wu family.
His sister had told him about the plan and given him money to buy nails. But the next moment, the boy went to the tavern and drank himself into a tavern, completely forgetting his business.
In the second half of the night, he was drunk and somehow found his way to Old Xu's shop, stole two boxes of nails, and scattered them on the road under the dark and windy conditions.
I thought that the Li family was arrested and the auto repair shop would close down, but who knew that the Li family shop would continue to open.
The Wu siblings decided to try again, but the nails they had brought back last time had already been used up, and they were in a hurry, so his sister Wu Jinhua went to buy some and brought them to him.
"What else?" Zhang Gongan knocked on the table. "What else did you do?"
The iron door of the interrogation room slammed shut with a loud bang, which frightened Wu Sangui.
He just blurted out all the sneaky things he had done!
