Qi Tongwei: Sign-in relationship started during student days

Chapter 800 Interrogation

Shi Youzhi said: "Currently, all the information we are investigating is with Wei Tao. So, I will let Wei Tao come and report to you."

Zuo Ming nodded, "Okay."

Wei Tao was already prepared and was standing outside the door.

To be on the safe side, everyone stayed in the office last night and did not leave all night just for today's report.

After getting permission, Wei Tao walked into the office, handed over the information, and stood quietly aside.

Zuo Ming took a quick look and saw a few newly taken photos on top, which were shocking.

Zuo Ming picked it up and asked, "What is this photo?"

Wei Tao reported: "This is the husband of the woman who hanged herself in the subdistrict office building. He is being secretly detained in the Nancheng Detention Center.

We rescued him yesterday afternoon, his body covered in wounds. Our assessment revealed that he had been subjected to brutal and inhumane torture."

Zuo Ming threw the photo away and said, "What else is there to say? Let's arrest the detention center director first.

Now, the Municipal Investigation Team officially appoints all of you, the HK Criminal Police, to assist the team in supervising the case of the laid-off worker's wife hanging herself. Wei Tao, you will be the deputy team leader."

After receiving the official authorization from Zuo Ming, secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wei Tao immediately saluted excitedly.

After leaving the office, Wei Tao quickly led the team to raid the entire Nancheng Detention Center.

...

The fluorescent tubes in the interrogation room hummed overhead, and the pale light cut the entire space into cold and hard geometric shapes.

Wei Tao sat behind the iron interrogation table, tapping his fingertips on the surface neither lightly nor heavily. The rhythm was like a blunt knife, scraping the tense nerves of Zhou Chang, the director of the detention center.

"Last chance, Director Zhou." Wei Tao's voice was like ice, without any warmth.

"During the twenty-seven days that Lao Huo was innocently detained, he suffered three broken ribs, nearly lost his left eye, and suffered countless cuts, stab wounds, and electric shocks. And you actually say you didn't know? That's ridiculous."

Zhou Chang huddled in the interrogation chair, his collar wrinkling the fat on his neck. He stared at the injury report Wei Tao handed him, his pupils trembling on the paper, but he refused to take it.

"Captain Wei...Captain Wei, your evidence...only proves that I neglected my duties. It doesn't explain anything else. You can't just put all this responsibility on me."

"So, you really don't want to talk about it?"

"Captain Wei, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I really don't know.

To be honest with you, I have never paid much attention to the affairs of the institute. You are also a brother in the system, and you should know that being the director of this institute is actually similar to logistics.

"Accepting prisoners, locking them up, transferring them, that's all I do every day. There's no money to be made, so why am I here?"

"No benefits?" Wei Tao sneered. "Is there not enough benefits in the detention center? If the families don't send money and supplies, how can the prisoners eat and drink well? A chicken leg outside would cost ten times as much in your place, and you tell me there's not enough benefits?"

Zhou Chang, exposed, showed no remorse and continued to argue, "Okay, I admit that, but I only took the money and didn't participate in the actual work. Besides, this kind of situation can be found everywhere. You can't just keep staring at me."

Wei Tao slammed the report onto the table, the edge of the paper making a sharp hissing sound. "Alright, stop playing dumb. I don't care whether you're trying to make money or not, and it's none of my business. I only have one question: who sent this person here?"

Zhou Chang's Adam's apple rolled, but he managed to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth, "I...I really don't know."

"It seems that you are not willing to accept my toast and will be punished." Wei Tao was annoyed and stood up to use the great memory recovery technique.

Lei Zi hurriedly stopped the other party, "Captain Wei, Captain Wei, calm down, calm down." He then whispered in Wei Tao's ear: "Identity, identity."

Wei Tao realized that this guy was different from ordinary mortals and could not be tortured to extract a confession.

"Okay, keep talking tough." Wei Tao sat down again angrily, flipped through the file in front of him, suddenly paused, a sneer on his lips.

"Zhou Chang, I heard that your son is going to graduate from college this year, is that right?"

Zhou Chang, sitting on the interrogation chair, was startled. He raised his head and stared at Wei Tao intently. "Captain Wei, what do you mean by that?"

Wei Tao leaned back, shrugged, and said slowly, "It's nothing serious. I just want to ask him to go to the school to cooperate with the investigation and see if I can get some information from him. By the way, I want to ask him if he knows what his father has done. This is all routine, you should understand."

Wei Tao changed the subject and pretended to be concerned and asked Lei Zi beside him: "Lei Zi, do you think that if we go to school, will it affect our children's graduation?"

Lei Zi glanced at Zhou Chang, nodded and responded, "Sure, we will go to school and definitely communicate with the school.

Once the school leaders get to know about it, the matter will probably spread to everyone.

As the son of an embezzler, I wonder if he will be isolated by his classmates."

Zhou Chang was so furious that he twisted his body so violently that even the interrogation chair creaked. "Wei Tao! Your family shouldn't be implicated in this crime! How dare you do this to my son? I'll never let you go!"

Wei Tao slammed the table, stood up and shouted angrily: "What a shameless thing to say that the crime should not be extended to the family. After what you did, how can you still have the nerve to say such things?

You dare to sell a chicken leg at ten times the price, and a pack of cigarettes at twenty times the price.

Do you know how many families have suffered because of the money you embezzled?

And Lao Huo's family was completely destroyed! Now I'm asking you to pay a small price, and you can't bear it?

Let me tell you, if you don't tell the truth, not only will your son not be able to graduate, I will also make it difficult for him to take a single step in the future.

If someone enjoys the benefits of crime, he should also bear the consequences of crime! "

Listening to Wei Tao's righteous speech, Zhou Chang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, slapping the writing board of the interrogation chair with his hands until tears of laughter came out.

When the laughter stopped, Zhou Chang seemed like a different person. He said calmly, "Captain Wei, you're a truly good officer. You're right. Since he's enjoyed the benefits, he should take responsibility. So, go ahead and do it with great fanfare. If he can't graduate, then we'll just have to take the blame."

Wei Tao was furious again, "Do you think I don't dare?"

"Captain Wei, of course you dare. Your name is well-known in our Beishan police force. Even Chen Yilong fell into your hands. I am nothing. If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it. What do you want me to say?"

"Okay, okay, it seems you are going to fight to the bitter end." Wei Tao was furious and could no longer hold back. He rushed to Zhou Chang, grabbed Zhou Chang's neck, and pressed him heavily against the writing board, forming a dangerous arc.

A trace of fear flashed in Zhou Chang's eyes, but he shouted: "Someone is being beaten, someone is being beaten..."

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and several policemen stared at the scene in shock.

Wei Tao let go of his hand and glared at the policemen who came in.

Lei Zi hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, "Alright, you have nothing to do here, get out."

Several policemen left in disappointment.

Watching the timer in the interrogation room jump to 17:47, Wei Tao knew that this confrontation had just begun.
