C20 (2/2)
I stubbed out my cigarette. ”We have to find him before noon!”
When I got back to the office, I figured it was just another boring day. That's how it was with the action team, the easiest job in the world when there weren't any major cases. Everyone was sprawled out on their desks, looking drowsy.
At noon, Ding Lan and I knocked on Uncle Seven's door and asked him to take a leave of absence for half a day. Uncle Seven didn't ask anything? He agreed directly.
Even Ding Lan's heart was confused. With Seventh Uncle's experience, after a slight deliberation, he should know what Ding Lan and I are going to do.
We took advantage of the lack of people and went straight to the city police station, successfully finding Mo Zhan Hui. The person who was selling the houses, he was caught early in the morning by Mo Zhan Hui and was even lynched.
Pushing open the door of the interrogation room, a prisoner covered in injuries was handcuffed on the chair. With his bare arms and belt in hand, Mo Zhan Hui leaned against the desk, breathing heavily, ”Damn, even I dared to lie to you.”
I went up and took off the belt in Mo Zhan Hui's hand, and looked at the prisoner's condition. My mouth was so swollen that it was extremely high, and my face was covered in bloody marks, and for a moment, I couldn't help but sigh.
Ding Lan also frowned as she said indifferently, ”Chief Mo, what you're doing is wrong. You're not acting like you're normal, how can you look for clues?”
The prisoner slowly opened his eyes as two streams of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. He nodded and pleaded, ”Bureau Chief Mo, I dare not! If you give me the guts of a leopard, I won't dare to harm you! ”
Mo Zhan Hui's face was flushed red. Seeing the prisoner begging for mercy, Little Flame immediately got up, walked in front of me to grab the belt, and cursed: ”Grandson, you dare to say that you did not harm me. If I did not protect you back then, you would not even be able to f * cking leave this prison.”
I gave Ding Lan Xin a look and told her to pull Mo Zhan Hui away. I pulled over a chair and sat in front of the prisoner. I lit a cigarette. ”To be honest, you can walk out today. Otherwise …”
Before I could finish, the prisoner started howling, ”Brother, I beg you, please say something good for me to Chief Mo! I don't have the nerve. I'm telling the truth. ”
I waved my hand towards him and blew out a smoke ring. ”Don't cry anymore. After I finish my orders, I'll let you go back. I'm asking you, do you know the owner of this house?”
The prisoner first shook his head, but upon seeing Mo Zhan Hui's vicious look, he immediately nodded his head, ”I have only heard of him before, and I do not even know him personally. That person used to be a nouveau riche, but later on the financial crisis, he went bankrupt, and his wife ran away with someone else, owing him a huge debt.”
”What does a bankrupt merchant have to do with Li Qiuyu?” Let me ask you, what role do you play in this? ”
The prisoner's swollen face appeared to be hesitating. After writing for a long time, he exhaled, ”This big brother, I'll tell you the truth! ”His wife is a prodigal woman. She owed him a lot of debts, and we were the ones to lend him usurpations. At that time, I was the one committing the crime, so I wanted him to use his house to repay the debt. I also wanted to give some benefits to Chief Mo so that he could …”
Listening up to here, I understand more or less. The nouveau riche owed them money, played tricks on them, and sold it to Mo Zhenhui for a low price, and paid back the debt!
”However, I still don't understand. This has nothing to do with Li Qiuyu.” How did the owner die? Don't tell me it has nothing to do with you. ”
At this point, the prisoner lowered his head in shame, ”He is a pauper, he has nothing at all, why would his wife follow him? He let us brothers play with him! And then he committed suicide in his house. ”
I nodded. ”I want information on this person.”
After the prisoners told us the truth, Mo Zhan Hui and I walked out of the interrogation room, ”Chief Mo, the owner's name is Reese. Let your subordinates investigate.”
Mo Zhan Hui straightened his clothes, ”No problem, in 10 minutes, I will pass you the information on this person.”
Speaking of which, the bureau chief's work efficiency is really high. Before we even finished smoking a cigarette, Mo Zhan Hui ran towards us with a file.
I smiled as I opened the portfolio. I immediately understood and took out a copy of their marriage certificate. It was the wife of Reese. Her features and eyebrows were somewhat similar to Li Qiuyu's.
The ghosts were lingering in a room for a long time. Suddenly, he saw a woman who looked like his wife bringing a man home. He knew what was going on just by thinking about it.
This time, their relationship was smooth as he took the photocopy and showed it to Ding Lan Xin. He quickly put it back in the file and threw it to Mo Zhan Hui, ”Before the sun sets, take his wife to the police station.”
