Looking at the silent Wang Wei, Cao Jingheng knew that he had not given up yet, and he had not expected him to give up right away.
"Xiao Wu, entertain Captain Wang well and make sure we have enough food and drinks. Section Chief Wang from the Finance Bureau will not treat us unfairly when the time comes. Please record all the food and drinks to Captain Wang."
Xiao Wu said loudly, "Hey, don't worry, Boss. We will definitely worship Captain Wang as the God of Wealth."
About an hour after Wang Wei was arrested, the man called Sixth Brother was handcuffed and sat on a stool. He had been locked up alone in this room since Wang Wei was brought in. No one was watching him, no one was interrogating him. The doors and windows were closed tightly. In this large room, there was only the stool he was sitting on and a set of tables and chairs a few meters away from him.
It is no exaggeration to say that every second feels like an age.
Hearing someone open the door and then seeing two policemen come in and sit on the stools, he actually felt relieved.
But unexpectedly, after waiting for two or three minutes, the policeman who came in just sat there looking at the things in his hands, with no intention of asking him any questions.
Sixth Brother started to get nervous again, and the sweat on his face dripped onto his pants, wetting a small spot.
Seeing that it was almost dry, Cao Jingheng put down the pen in his hand, and it hit the table with a bang. He looked at the gang leader named Liu Ge and immediately raised his head.
"Xiao Wu, pour him a glass of water."
"Um, officer, I, I'm not thirsty." After saying that, Sixth Brother licked his lips unconsciously without even realizing it.
"It's okay, have a glass of water and let's talk slowly. It's been so long, you should have something to say to us, right, Sixth Brother?"
Xiao Wu brought the water and placed it in Sixth Brother's hand, patting him on the shoulder. "Friend, if you ask me, it's true. You said you weren't the main perpetrator, so why bother covering for others? They have someone to bail them out, but you don't necessarily have to. If your superiors sacrificed the car to save the driver, you should know who is the car and who is the driver, right?"
The Sixth Brother was startled by the photo and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, officer, I understand. I understand everything."
"Alright, then tell us the truth. Tell us who's above you, what you did, and who gave you the courage to be so bold in broad daylight."
"Officer, I'll confess everything. I was following Brother Pan. I don't even know his real name, but everyone on the street calls him Brother Pan. It was Brother Pan who introduced me to Wang Wei. Over the past few years, Brother Pan always gave 40% of the money we earned from collecting protection fees and other things to him. He never told us who he gave it to, but every time something happened, the police never came to us for small-time investigations.
So every time Wang Wei asked me to do something, I would help him if I could.
We didn't expect that the robbery of the old man would cause such a big commotion and even injure a public official.
Later, Brother Pan told us not to worry, as long as that person was not dead, nothing would happen to us. . . .
No one came to arrest him these past two days, and I thought the matter was over, but who knew you would arrest me early in the morning."
"Are there any thugs above Brother Pan who are more powerful than him? According to our investigation, Brother Pan is only in charge of this nearby area. If there was no one above him, he wouldn't have been able to get by so peacefully in the past few years." Cao Jingheng looked at Sixth Brother while speaking, not missing any of his expressions.
"Officer, if you ask other people about this, they may not know, but I have met the boss above Brother Pan. He was the most powerful black market boss in the south of our city a few years ago. I also met him once when I was a teenager when I went to the black market to buy things. At that time, the younger brothers around him called him Brother Lei. Later, when I followed Brother Pan, I also heard him call him that.
After the reform and opening up, the black market gradually lost its business. Now everyone is setting up stalls openly. That Lei brother must have changed his way of making money."
Cao Jingheng integrated all the information from the past few days. Based on his observation, what Sixth Brother said should be true. The black market people and the financial people are mixed together. This is a powerful combination!
This is simply a circular gray industrial chain, involving gangsters, police, government officials... It's outrageous!
After calling the police station, Cao Jingheng gave a report on the situation here. Fang Zhigang was also angry and shocked after listening to it. This group of people is really lawless. "Jingheng, Wang Jiawei's father and cousin must be very powerful people. They were able to climb up steadily in those ten years and were not involved in the reckoning. They are really important people. Just having the testimony of this sixth brother is definitely not enough. It would be best to pry Wang Wei's mouth open. And Wang Wei's wife, she doesn't have a job, but she wears and uses high-quality goods. Relying on Wang Wei's salary is obviously not enough. She also needs to be investigated in depth. Too many people are involved this time. I have to meet with the big boss."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Jingheng rubbed his face. He used to be working on criminal cases, but now he has to fight wits and courage every day, which makes him tired. It would be better for him to run ten kilometers every day to feel relaxed.
Walking into the room where Wang Wei was locked up, Cao Jingheng saw watermelon and drinks on the table. He took a look and thought that this kid could actually eat. He was quite talented.
"Wang Wei, Sixth Brother has confessed everything. You know what the punishment for harboring evil forces is.
Don't expect your father and your cousin to protect you. The evidence is all there. You can't escape this time, and neither can they. Your cousin used his public office to help criminal gangs launder money, and your father was involved in buying and selling public office positions and bribery. Your Wang family is really full of capable people!
Eat a little more, someone will come to pick you up soon, and you won’t be able to eat anymore.
Oh, by the way, your father-in-law and your dad are old friends, right? It's also lucky that the whole family went in together, without a single one left out."
Looking at the pale Wang Wei, Cao Jingheng sat on the bench and ate the watermelon comfortably. It was so sweet! What a waste to give it to such a bastard.
"Hey, Wang Wei, you're thirty years old and still childless. Have you and your wife gone to the hospital for a checkup? Do you know who's at fault?
If I'm not mistaken, your father-in-law and mother-in-law are both very kind to you. You said their family is of similar background to yours, so why are they so kind to you? Is it because they don't have a son?"
"No, what do you mean? Just because you're a police officer, you can talk like that? You're insulting me. Even if I'm guilty, you can't humiliate me like that!"
He put down the melon peel in his hand and slowly wiped his hands with a tissue. "Look at you, why are you so anxious? I haven't said anything yet, and you're already anxious. Aren't you curious at all? You don't know if there's something wrong with you. Who is the problem? Over the years of marriage, your wife and your mother haven't had a good relationship."
Wang Wei was really angry, but he couldn't help but think too much. They had been married for five or six years. His mother had been urging him to have a baby since the second year, but his wife always laughed it off. He went to the hospital for several checkups, but they always said it was not the right time. Could there really be some hidden story?
