Translator: 549690339
Evening, 7:06 pm.
Zheng Xian had been sitting in the interrogation room for nearly 30 minutes.
Just after 6:30, he was still “overseeing” the investigation team, signaling the police officers to “stay calm”…”For the safety of the hostages, don’t act rashly”.
Unexpectedly … In the blink of an eye, he was locked in the interrogation room and was asked to hand over his phone.
Although no one had handcuffed him yet, Zheng Xian was already panicking …
!!
Kada kada kata
Just as Deputy bureau chief Zheng was letting his thoughts run wild, someone opened the door.
Three people came in, led by Zheng Xian’s superior, director Zhu of this branch. Behind bureau chief Zhu were two young men … One of them looked decent and was dressed appropriately. His appearance and temperament did not match his age, and he gave off a dignified feeling. As for the other person … There was no point in describing him too much. We can summarize him as ‘Feng bujue’.
“Chief Zhu … What’s going on?” Zheng Xian immediately stood up from his chair and looked at the Bureau chief.”Is there some misunderstanding here?”
Bureau chief Zhu looked at him expressionlessly. He was silent for two seconds before he replied,””These two … Are the senior officers of the higher authorities.” He paused for a moment.”They have a few questions for you … Just tell them the truth.”
Then, bureau chief Zhu looked at Bao Qing.””Sir, I’ll take my leave first.”
“Yes.” Bao Qing nodded his head neither obsequiously nor arrogantly.”You’ve worked hard.”
“Eh? “Chief Zhu … This … This is …” Zheng Xian wanted to stop the Bureau chief, but he walked out without looking back and even closed the door behind him.
“Alright, Deputy Director Zheng. It’s useless no matter who you look for.” Feng bujue took a few steps forward to the table.”Please have a seat. Let’s sit down and talk.”
When Zheng Xian heard that, he used a rather hostile gaze to size up Feng bujue. Then, he let out a breath through his nose and sat down.
There were a total of four interrogation rooms in this branch, and the layout was similar …
A table was placed in the middle of a s.p.a.ce of about 20 square meters. There were two chairs on the side of the table near the door for interrogators. On the other side of the table, there was a chair for the interrogator to sit on.
All the tables and chairs were fixed to the floor and couldn’t be moved. On the side of the table where the chair was, there were several small metal rings that could be used to fix handcuffs.
Two incandescent lamps were installed at the top of the interrogation room. There was also a table lamp on the table. The table lamp was placed on the half of the table near the door. In addition … On the two opposite corners of the ceiling, there was a mobile surveillance camera.
After Zheng Xian sat down, Bao Qing walked over to one of the surveillance cameras and unplugged it.
Then, he strolled to the other camera opposite the room …
As for Feng bujue, he sat down silently across from Zheng Xian and stared at Deputy Chief Zheng’s face with a half-smile. His expression was like a chef looking at a good ingredient and thinking about how to cook it …
“What … What do you mean by this?” Zheng Xian felt a chill run down his spine from brother Jue’s stare. He tried his best to appear calm as he asked the question.
Feng bujue ignored his question and asked,””At around 4:30 this afternoon, you received a phone call in the toilet.”
Before he could finish his sentence, cold sweat had already flowed down from Zheng Xian’s sideburns.
“Who’s that on the other end of the phone? Why did he come looking for you?” Feng bujue asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Even though he felt a little guilty, Zheng Xian still pretended to be calm.
“Ha … You don’t know, do you?” Feng bujue said as he took out a transparent evidence bag from his pocket. Inside the bag was Zheng Xian’s phone.”Deputy Chief Zheng, you are a police officer, so you should know … Even if you delete the call history in your phone, we still have many ways to trace your call.”
Zheng Xian did not say anything, but he avoided brother Jue’s gaze.
“Humph …” Feng bujue snorted when he saw that.”As for me … I can roughly guess what you’re thinking … Do you think that if we’ve found something, even if we have the phone recording … We don’t need to come and ask you anymore? Since we’re here to question you, that means … We don’t have any substantial information. At most, we’re just bluffing. ”
Zheng Xian remained silent.
“Ha …” Feng bujue looked at the man’s reaction and chuckled.”That’s right, we are indeed in a stalemate. Because the person who called you was very cautious, he used a one-time use SIM card and used technical means to transfer and interfere with the call a second time … So, other than the call record, nothing was left behind … There’s no way to trace it, nor is there a recording. ”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xian’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile.
“Two … Officers.” Zheng Xian finally replied. Brother Jue’s previous words had given him some a.s.surance.”I did receive a strange call this afternoon, but the person on the other end was just promoting something, so I hung up after a few perfunctory words. As for the situation you’re talking about … I’m really not too sure. ”
“Oh …” Brother Jue nodded.”When you heard me say … That you can’t find anything, you changed from ‘you don’t know’ to’ not too sure ‘, right?”
Zheng Xian didn’t respond to this question. He had interrogated many suspects himself, so he knew better than anyone when to answer and when to remain silent.
“However …” The next second, Feng bujue’s tone changed.”The caution, or rather … Professionalism of the person on the other end of the phone proves that the person who called you is not a normal person.”
Zheng Xian laughed coldly when he heard this, because brother Jue’s words could not prove anything.
“By the way, I haven’t asked …” Zheng Xian didn’t respond to the other party’s words, but asked,”what’s your name, officers?” Which Department do you work in?”
“Is that any of your business?” Bao Qing, who was standing by the table, responded coldly.
“Hehe … I’m just asking.” As Zheng Xian spoke, he arrogantly took out a pack of cigarettes from his s.h.i.+rt pocket, picked one up, and was about to light it up.
“Deputy Director Zheng, I realize that you seem to be blindly optimistic about your situation …” After a few seconds of silence, Feng bujue continued,”do you think that we can’t do anything to you? Or do you think … That the worst result is just being ‘skinned"(usually described as an evil official being stripped of his position)?”
“Sir … Fufufu.” Zheng Xian lit a cigarette and took a puff.”I’ve already answered the questions you asked. Could it be that I’ve committed some unpardonable crime by taking a sales call?”
“You want to discuss crimes with us, right?” Bao Qing said as he took out a phone from his pocket. He looked at the screen and asked,”Zheng Xian, what’s your annual salary?”
“This …” Zheng Xian raised his head and looked at the other party. He did not immediately reply … He was considering whether there was any trap in this question.
“It doesn’t matter …” Bao Qing did not wait for Zheng Xian to answer. He pressed a few b.u.t.tons and displayed an online bank transfer interface in front of Zheng Xian.”…I’m sure it’s far less than this number?”
Zheng Xian’s expression changed the moment his eyes met the screen.
“You …” Deputy bureau chief Zheng stood up from his chair,”…How did you get my …”
“Your what?” Feng bujue cut him off.”Does this account have anything to do with you? “Or should I ask …” Brother Jue paused for half a second before continuing,”do the large amounts of cash in the accounts of the sh.e.l.l company that was opened under the name of your wife’s brother … Have anything to do with you?”
Every time he said the word “yes,” he would raise his tone, as if he was reciting a speed recital.
“I … I …” Zheng Xian was at a loss for words.
“Deputy Director Zheng, I said you’re blindly optimistic … And you didn’t think so.” “Who do you think we are?” Feng bujue retorted. This was not a problem, and he did not intend to give a clear answer.”We are not the kind of people who will make you go to court …” His face became extremely gloomy.”We are the kind of people … Who will make you disappear from the earth …”
“This Is the Police station!” “Shut up!” Zheng Xian shouted. It was unknown whether he was angry or trying to boost his courage.
Bang Bang Bang
The next second, he was punched in the face.
Immediately after, Zheng Xian staggered and sat down, his expression stunned.
He was stunned for a long time until he felt a chill in his philtrum. He instinctively reached out to touch it and saw his nose bleeding … Then he came back to his senses.
“You … You dare to hit me!” Zheng Xian covered his nose and pointed at Feng bujue angrily.
Before he finished, Feng bujue stood up.””You didn’t expect this, did you?” He smiled.”The punch I gave you just now was mainly to broaden your mind. I want you to break the mindset that ‘I can’t possibly be violently attacked by two unidentified people in the police station’.” He paused for a moment.”With this first step … Our communication will be smoother.”
“You … You …” Zheng Xian was both shocked and furious, but he really couldn’t do anything to the other party. If he wanted to fight back … It would not be a wise move for a slightly fat middle-aged man like him to fight with two young people.
“Alright, I’ll show you what I can do with violence.” “If I don’t get any satisfactory feedback later, I can upgrade it to minor injury, severe injury, permanent injury, or … You know what I mean.” He spread out his hands.”But … Is death really scary? I don’t think so … Especially those criminals who are involved in corruption. Many of them are not afraid of death … Because most of their criminal gains can’t be recovered. We often see some greedy and evil people being imprisoned when their hair is white, but the losses they have caused to the country and the people are not compensated. Their families are still overseas enjoying the illegal gains and are free …”
As brother Jue spoke, he walked to Zheng Xian and leaned against the edge of the table.””Of course, you’re not at that level yet, but you’re almost the same … And we know the real weakness of people like you.”
Bao Qing walked to Zheng Xian’s other side, held up his phone, and said,””I just need to move my finger and all the savings in this account will become charity donations.” He paused for two seconds and added,”trust me … Once the operation is completed, you will never get back the money.”
“If you think that money is just a worldly possession, then that’s fine …” Feng bujue said. * After all … We need to talk about feelings. Tonight, I can introduce your wife and your wife to each other, and we can have a meal together or something.”
“Oh … Right …” Bao Qing said,””As far as we know, the brother-in-law who’s managing the company for you seems to like going to brothels. It’s inevitable that he’ll meet some people who pick fights and cause trouble. What if he ‘s’ accidentally injured ‘in a fight and ends his bloodline … How wronged would that be …”
“Speaking of family … It suddenly occurred to me …” Less than a second later, Feng bujue continued,”your son is preparing to go to that evil land of America to study at a diploma mill next year, right? If he suddenly has a criminal record for some reason … Do you think … He can still get a pa.s.sport?”
“This isn’t a problem with the pa.s.sport …” Bao Qing said in a relaxed tone.”In that case … It’s hard to even get a high school diploma.”
“That’s true … And he’s an adult now,” Feng bujue said.”After he goes to prison, if people know that he has a corrupt police officer as his father, then …”
The two of them echoed each other and had a tacit understanding. Zheng Xian was so scared that his face turned blue and purple, and his nosebleed went back.
“I …” The cigarette in Zheng Xian’s hand fell to the ground, and his hand couldn’t stop trembling.”I’ll explain everything … Please have mercy on me …”
“Hey, that’s right.” Feng bujue patted his shoulder.”If you had this att.i.tude earlier, I wouldn’t have fought you.” He was the only one who believed his words.”As long as you’re honest, we’ll let the matter of bribery go. It’s just eight million Yuan in ten years … How can that be considered a big deal?”
Bao Qing glared at brother Jue, and his eyes seemed to say,””You’re just a fake agent of Department 9, but you’re quite arrogant. ”
…………
Evening, 7:53.
Feng bujue and Bao Qing left the interrogation room and came to a waiting room that was specially prepared for them.
Xiao Tan and brother Chan were also waiting for them in this waiting room.
“How is it?” When Xiao Tan saw them enter, he asked impatiently,”
“Hmm … Things aren’t as simple as they seem …” Bao Qing mumbled as he sat down.
“What’s wrong?” Brother Chan continued,”that Deputy bureau chief Zheng has a very strong backing?”
“No…” Bao Qing frowned.”He’s just a small character, but …”
“If I have to make an a.n.a.logy, the person who called Zheng Xian is like a chess player sitting in front of a chessboard,” brother Jue said.”And Zheng Xian … Is just a p.a.w.n on the chessboard. That person had many p.a.w.ns like Zheng Xian, which could be used when necessary … Similarly, they could be abandoned when necessary …”
“What the … So the person who kidnapped ghost hunter is very powerful …” Brother Chan was shocked.
“Hehe … You’re wrong again.” Feng bujue smiled.”The kidnapper and the ‘mastermind’ of this incident are both p.a.w.ns …” At this point, there was a flash of excitement in brother Jue’s smile.”But … There is someone else involved in this incident. He plays the role of the ‘planner’, and he is the ‘chess player’ that I mentioned earlier …” He licked his lips.”This person … Is very interesting.” (To be continued.) ”
