Chapter 157 Who Took Bribe
Yue Xiaofeng: "Hasn't it ever occurred to you that there might actually be a traitor among you who sold him out?"
Ke Xiaodong pointed a cigarette at Yue Xiaofeng and said, "Kid, let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but there are some things you really can't say. You're accusing a group of drug enforcement officers who risk their own safety every day to protect people's lives and property of being black police. Your idea itself is very dangerous!"
Yue Xiaofeng: "At this stage, we can't let go of any clues. Don't you want to redress Mo Xiaoyi's injustice?"
Ke Xiaodong: "Of course I do. Why not? I was the one who dragged him into this undercover underworld. Ultimately, I'm somewhat responsible for his current situation. But I can also tell you responsibly that the most unlikely reason for his murder is that there was a mole in our group who leaked the information and sold him out."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Why are you so sure?"
Ke Xiaodong: "To keep it secret, I deleted all his information from the police academy. The drug enforcement team doesn't have any information about him at all. Only Captain Liang and I know his true identity. If you insist on doubting me, who would you say, me or Captain Liang?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Is it true that the drug enforcement team has no other channels or methods to learn the true identity of the undercover agent?"
Ke Xiaodong said firmly: "No, apart from my superiors and the direct team leader, even the top boss wouldn't know."
Yue Xiaofeng looked towards the glass window.
Ke Xiaodong: "Isn't it time to call your Captain Xu Lin out for questioning? I've been wanting to fight her for a long time."
At this time, the door of the interrogation room was opened.
Ke Xiaodong glanced back and said with a smile: "The protagonist is finally here. You must be their leader, Captain Xu Lin!"
Xu Lin: "It's me, Xu Lin. Nice to meet you, Comrade Ke."
Ke Xiaodong: "Okay, okay. Just ask if you have anything to say! I have to go home quickly to take a shower and have a good sleep."
Xu Lin: "As a female comrade, I'm not in a hurry to leave. As a grown man, you shouldn't be so particular. You all understand the special nature of our work."
Ke Xiaodong: "The problem is, I've already done everything I could to cooperate and said everything I needed to say. What else do you want? Do you want to detain me as a suspect for 48 hours?"
Xu Lin: "We're all teammates, so why say such hurtful things? I'm just doing my job. After we've asked you what we want to know, we'll naturally send you off."
Ke Xiaodong: "Oh, you're welcome. I'll leave by myself when the time comes. I just hope I never see you again."
Xu Lin: "I'm afraid it won't go as you wish. This case is so complicated, I guess we'll have to continue discussing it several times before we can conclude it. Well, I won't say much, so let me get straight to the point. Do you have any opinion on your wife stealing a million dollars from the store?"
Ke Xiaodong: "You're so rude! She won a million because she was lucky. What does it have to do with me? I also want to win a million right away so I don't have to work and can just sleep in bed and count money every day."
Xu Lin: "If you really think so, I'm afraid there will be many opportunities, right? Maybe your wife's one million is for you, but it just passed through your wife's hands to make you look less embarrassed."
Ke Xiaodong: "That was her prize in the mall, not a bribe. Everyone who participated in the lottery at the mall that day had a chance to win the one million."
Xu Lin: "Yes, so why was your wife so lucky to win your one million? And it happened to be around the time when Mo Xiaoyi got into trouble? And the merchant holding the lottery at the mall that day happened to be Bai Fugui's son, Buckingham. You're also a veteran police officer, so why didn't you think of any clues to such a simple thing?"
Ke Xiaodong was speechless for a moment: "This...this..."
He sighed and gathered himself. "It's true that I didn't handle this matter properly. At the time, I simply thought that woman was just lucky. I didn't think too much about it. It seems my political awareness isn't high enough! If you think there's really something wrong with that one million, then I'll persuade my wife to hand it all over. If she squanders it all and refuses to hand it over, I'll sell my house and kidney and borrow money to pay you back. Is that okay?"
Xu Lin: "Okay? How can that be possible? If you return the money, can Mo Xiaoyi come back with you?"
Ke Xiaodong: "I've already admitted my mistake, so what else do you want from me? I didn't intentionally withhold information, and this is all just your speculation. Do you have any solid evidence to prove that they deliberately let us win the lottery and intended to bribe me?"
Xu Lin took out her laptop and showed him the clip of them interrogating Buckingham.
Yue Xiaofeng: "How much do you know about your father Bai Fugui's drug dealing?"
Buckingham: "Comrade police officer, I really don't know anything about this. If I knew, I would definitely persuade him to surrender or report him."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Did your father kill Mo Xiaoyi or hire someone to kill him?"
Buckingham: "My father has always been a dictator and never consults with anyone. He's also a secretive person. Even if I were his son, he wouldn't have spoken to me as much in a year as you've asked me today. How am I supposed to know if he's killed anyone?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Don't be so evasive. Tell the truth. Do you know this woman?"
He took out a photo of Ke Xiaodong's wife Xiao Meixuan and asked Buckingham to identify her.
Buckingham took a look and said evasively, "I don't know him."
Yue Xiaofeng asked sternly, "The police ask you again, have you ever seen the person in the photo?"
Buckingham: "I seem to have some recollection of her. She must be the woman who won a million dollars in the lottery held in my mall a few months ago!"
Yue Xiaofeng slammed the table and said, "You said you didn't know him again?"
Buckingham stammered, "I only met him once, and that was several months ago. How could I remember so much?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Then think it over for me before answering my following questions. Did you deliberately let her win your one million?"
Buckingham: “This…this…”
Yue Xiaofeng: "Think it over carefully before you answer! Our policy here is leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist."
Buckingham: "That's not true. We never did anything behind the scenes. We always acted fairly and impartially. The result depends on luck."
Yue Xiaofeng sneered, "I advise you to tell the truth! When I ask the staff involved in this lottery one by one, do you think they will say the same thing as you: there was no manipulation, it was fair and just, and it was all based on luck?"
Beads of sweat stood out on Buckingham's forehead.
Seeing that he was getting anxious, Yue Xiaofeng tried to encourage him. "Originally, even if you admitted to this, you wouldn't receive much punishment. At most, you'd be fined. But if you gave false testimony and we caught you, the consequences would be completely different. If your false testimony interferes with our thinking or hinders our ability to solve the case, what do you think we should do with you?"
