Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 719 Finding a Breakthrough!
Around 10 a.m., Jia Dongming finished his work and drove his Jeep to the office of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Fengtai Branch.

Standing at the office door, Jia Dongming peered through the slightly ajar wooden door and saw Chen Weiguo and others sleeping at their desks.

Upon seeing everyone fast asleep at their desks, Jia Dongming immediately realized that Chen Weiguo and his team must have stayed up all night trying to get Gui Laoqi to talk. So he stopped trying to enter the office and turned to walk towards the interrogation room.

Soon Jia Dongming arrived outside the interrogation room. The police officer on guard duty greeted him politely upon seeing him, saying, "Hello, Captain Jia!"

When Jia Dongming saw the police officer who greeted him, he smiled and asked, "Hello, Comrade Zhang Wei! Haven't those two confessed yet?"

When Zhang Wei heard Jia Dongming ask about the results of the interrogation of Gui Laoqi and Jiang He, he immediately felt a surge of anger. With a resentful look, he told Jia Dongming, "Captain Jia! Gui Laoqi and Jiang He seem to have realized that, given the crimes they committed, execution is a foregone conclusion. So, they are completely unwilling to cooperate with our work. Because of this, our branch captain stayed up all night yesterday and only recently managed to get a short nap in the office."

Upon hearing Zhang Wei's report, Jia Dongming was not surprised at all. Thinking of the gains made by the Xicheng Branch, he immediately asked Zhang Wei, "Comrade Zhang Wei! Has the statement from the Xicheng Branch been delivered? Who has the statement now?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Zhang Wei immediately replied, "Captain Jia! The statement is with Captain Jiang in the Major Crimes Unit. Captain Jiang is currently in the interrogation room, interrogating Jiang He."

Upon hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and asked Zhang Wei with a smile, "Comrade Zhang Wei! Which interrogation room is Captain Jiang in? I'd like to go and take a look."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Zhang Wei immediately led Jia Dongming to an interrogation room, then knocked on the iron door and called out, "Captain Jiang! Captain Jia is here!"

"Bang!"

The iron gate opened quickly, and Captain Jiang greeted Jia Dongming warmly as he saw him standing at the door of the interrogation room: "Captain Jia! You've arrived. Our branch captain stayed up all night yesterday trying to get these two to talk. Now I'll take over and continue the interrogation."

Upon hearing Captain Jiang's explanation, Jia Dongming politely said to Captain Jiang, "Captain Jiang! I heard that the transcripts sent by the Xicheng District Branch are in your possession. I would like to see the transcripts sent by the Xicheng District Branch."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words and learning his purpose, Captain Jiang immediately nodded and replied, "Captain Jia! Please wait a moment, I'll go get the transcript for you to review."

Soon, Captain Jiang came out of the interrogation room carrying a thick file bag and politely introduced it to Jia Dongming: "Captain Jia! This file bag contains the transcripts sent by the Xicheng Branch Bureau."

Jia Dongming took the transcript from Captain Jiang and said with a smile, "Captain Jiang! You continue the interrogation. I'm going to a place where I'll take a look at these transcripts first."

After greeting Captain Jiang, Jia Dongming took the interrogation records to an empty interrogation room next door. He sat down at the interrogation table, took out an enlarged copy of the interrogation records from a file bag, and began to read them carefully. These interrogation records revealed that the criminal gang led by Gui Laoqi had, over the years, killed many people through assassinations and kidnappings in order to seize control of the black market.

After reviewing several statements, Jia Dongming's gaze finally settled on a survey form. This form contained detailed family information about the individuals involved in the case, including that of Gui Laoqi and Jiang He.

Upon seeing Jiang He's family information, Jia Dongming felt a surge of hope, finally seeing a glimmer of hope in how to get Jiang He to talk.

Jia Dongming finished collecting all the statements, keeping only Jiang He's family information. He then quickly walked out of the interrogation room, went to the door of the interrogation room where Jiang He was being interrogated, knocked on the door, and called out, "Captain Jiang! Please open the door, I need to talk to you."

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the iron door to the interrogation room was quickly opened. Captain Jiang walked out of the interrogation room, saw the file bag in Jia Dongming's hand, and asked with a smile, "Captain Jia! Have you finished reading the transcript?"

Upon hearing Captain Jiang's question, Jia Dongming instinctively glanced at Jiang He, who was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, handed the file bag back to Captain Jiang, and said with a smile, "Captain Jiang! I'll handle the interrogation of Jiang He. I believe he'll soon start to confess on his own."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words and seeing his confident expression, Captain Jiang's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly stepped aside from the doorway of the interrogation room and instructed one of the police officers inside, "Xiao Wang! Go and get Captain Jia a chair right away."

Soon, a chair was brought over, and Jia Dongming sat down at the interrogation table. Looking at the slightly tired Jiang He, he picked up Jiang He's household registration information and said slowly, "Jiang He! Male! 31 years old, registered residence: No. 21, Guihua Hutong, Xinjiekou Street, Xicheng District, Beijing. In 54, your wife, unable to endure your domestic violence and torment, divorced you with the help of the Women's Federation and left Beijing with the children. Therefore, in your household registration book, your household registration information column only lists you."

"According to the information we have, your parents were robbed by fleeing soldiers on their way to do business and were ultimately killed by them. You were only eight years old at the time. Later, your older sister, who was already married, raised you single-handedly despite the objections of your brother-in-law's family."

"The reason you are unwilling to cooperate with us is mainly because you believe that, based on the things you have done over the years, whether you confess or not, there is only one outcome. Rather than cooperating with our work, you would rather protect the people behind you and hope that they will give your older sister some compensation because you took the blame for everything?"

Jiang He, who was sitting listlessly in the interrogation chair, trembled a few times when he heard Jia Dongming mention his eldest sister, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

As Jia Dongming recounted Jiang He's information, his eyes were fixed on Jiang He's every move. Although Jiang He's body only trembled slightly, it did not escape Jia Dongming's notice.
