Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 713 You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!
When Wen Xiaoyu heard Jia Dongming mention the word "execution," her pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat streamed down her back. Thinking of all the things she had done for Gui Laoqi over the years, Wen Xiaoyu, still clinging to a last sliver of hope, hurriedly defended herself, saying, "Officer! I was coerced by Master Qi back then and had no choice but to submit to him. As for what Master Qi did outside, I really don't know."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaoyu's explanation and seeing that she was still unwilling to cooperate, Jia Dongming said to her with a very serious expression, "Wen Xiaoyu! It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin! Since you are unwilling to cooperate with our work, then we will not ask anymore. After all, all of Gui Laoqi's men have been wiped out by us. If you are unwilling to cooperate, I believe that others will be very willing to cooperate with our work in order to gain merit."

At this point, Jia Dongming immediately instructed Wang Bin: "Wang Bin! Gather all the valuables and account books found in Wen Xiaoyu's house, then escort Wen Xiaoyu to the FT District Branch. After the verdict is handed down, send her and Gui Laoqi to the execution ground together, so they can continue their illicit affair in the underworld."

Wen Xiaoyu, who was slumped on the ground, instinctively recalled the scene of her going to the execution ground and watching prisoners being shot when Jia Dongming mentioned the term "execution ground." Thinking of the whole process of the police executing prisoners, Wen Xiaoyu was so frightened that her face turned as white as paper and her body trembled like a leaf.

Wang Bin, who was carrying a large stack of account books, immediately understood Jia Dongming's meaning when he heard Jia Dongming's instructions and saw Wen Xiaoyu, whose face was pale with fright. He quickly replied, "Captain! This Wen Xiaoyu is just an accountant at the grain station, yet she has so much money hidden in her home. In addition, the accounts recorded in these account books are enough to show that she must be one of the bosses behind the black market. With this evidence, we don't even need her confession. We can send her to the execution ground to eat peanuts."

Just now, when Jia Dongming mentioned the execution ground, Wen Xiaoyu, though terrified, still clung to a sliver of hope. Now, hearing Wang Bin mention money and account books, his words were like the final straw, instantly shattering any remaining glimmer of hope in her heart.

"Officer! If I cooperate with your work, wouldn't my actions count as meritorious service?" Wen Xiaoyu, seeing that Jia Dongming was ignoring her and turning to walk into the house, finally couldn't help but shout at Jia Dongming, desperate to save her life.

Upon hearing Wen Xiaoyu's shout, Jia Dongming revealed a meaningful smile. He then turned to look at Wen Xiaoyu, who was slumped on the ground, and said to her with a serious expression, "Wen Xiaoyu! If the information you provide helps us solve the case, that will be considered a meritorious service. Although it won't exempt you from punishment, saving your life shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Wen Xiaoyu, focused solely on saving her own life, disregarded the fate of others and quickly nodded in response, "Police officers! I am willing to cooperate with your work and tell you everything I know."

Seeing that Wen Xiaoyu was willing to confess, Jia Dongming did not completely believe her. He solemnly reminded her, "Wen Xiaoyu! Are you sure you want to cooperate with our work? Let me tell you, this is your only chance. If we find out that you are playing us, we will not give you any more chances."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder, Wen Xiaoyu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and immediately assured Jia Dongming, "Comrade Policeman! I assure the Chairman that I will cooperate with your investigation and tell you everything I know."

Upon hearing Wen Xiaoyu's promise, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment before immediately instructing Wang Bin, "Wang Bin! You and Zheng Xiang, right here at Wen Xiaoyu's house, begin the interrogation of her."

Wang Bin couldn't understand why Jia Dongming didn't take Wen Xiaoyu back to the station for interrogation. Having complete trust in Jia Dongming, Wang Bin naturally obeyed his orders unconditionally. He and his colleague Zheng Xiang then went to Wen Xiaoyu's home to interrogate her. More than an hour later, Wang Bin emerged from the house with the interrogation transcript in hand, reporting to Jia Dongming with admiration, "Captain! It seems you were right. This case involves not only the grain stations in FT District and Xicheng District, but also those in Dongcheng District and HD District."

"In addition, the ledgers we found in Wen Xiaoyu's house are the transaction ledgers between the black market and the grain station over the years. Since Wen Xiaoyu was originally an accountant, Gui Laoqi had her in charge of keeping the books."

Upon hearing Wang Bin's report, Jia Dongming, recalling Director Ruan who had treated him to dinner last time, asked Wang Bin with a serious expression, "Wang Bin! Did Wen Xiaoyu say who is in charge of the black market? Also, who are the people involved in the case at the grain station? Has Wen Xiaoyu confessed everything?"

When Jia Dongming asked about the black market's manager, Wang Bin subconsciously shook his head and replied with a serious expression, "Captain! According to Wen Xiaoyu's confession, although she helped Gui Laoqi keep track of the black market's accounts, Gui Laoqi never allowed her to get involved in black market matters. So, apart from knowing a few of Gui Laoqi's subordinates, she didn't know who the black market manager was."

"As for who was involved in this case inside the grain station, Wen Xiaoyu has confessed to them all. The list is in this transcript. Would you like to take a look?"

After listening to Wang Bin's report, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment before instructing Wang Bin, "Wang Bin! Take Wen Xiaoyu and all the evidence back to the bureau. I'm going to the FT District branch to see if there are any results from the interrogation there."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, and recalling the valuables they had seized from Wen Xiaoyu's house, Wang Bin immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Captain! Should we hand over the cash and croakers we found in Wen Xiaoyu's house immediately, or leave them with the team for now?"

When Jia Dongming heard Wang Bin ask about the follow-up work, he pondered for a moment before instructing Wang Bin: "Wang Bin! After you bring Wen Xiaoyu back to the bureau, immediately report this matter to the chief. How to handle these matters is up to the chief."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's instructions, Wang Bin immediately nodded and replied respectfully, "Captain! I understand. I'll pack the things up first, and then escort Wen Xiaoyu back to the station."
