Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 970 The net of Heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it!
When Jia Dongming entered the interrogation room, the two policemen who were interrogating Zhou Tao stood up from their chairs upon seeing him. They instinctively saluted Jia Dongming and greeted him respectfully, saying, "Good morning, Chief!"

When Jia Dongming saw his two subordinates saluting him, he returned the salute and asked them with a serious expression, "How's the interrogation going? Is this guy still unwilling to cooperate with our interrogation?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, the police officer in charge of the interrogation immediately reported respectfully, "Chief! This guy thinks he's learned some counter-surveillance techniques and is playing dumb with us. He wants to stall us, so we'll just stall him. I believe it won't be long before he's willing to cooperate with our interrogation."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Jia Dongming stared intently at Zhou Tao, who was sitting in the interrogation chair. He then sat down at the interrogation table and asked Zhou Tao with a smile, "Zhou Tao! You are twenty-five years old this year. Seven years ago, you were sentenced to seven years for intentional injury and were released from prison a month ago. Am I correct?"

Zhou Tao, who was sitting in the interrogation chair, did not pay much attention to Jia Dongming when he first saw Jia Dongming walk into the interrogation room. However, when he heard the way the two policemen addressed Jia Dongming, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

To conceal his inner unease, Zhou Tao tried to remain calm, feigning indifference as he sarcastically remarked to Jia Dongming, "With the power of your police force, let alone investigating my records, you could easily find out everything about my ancestors. Aren't you just talking nonsense?"

"Snapped!"

Hearing Zhou Tao's sarcasm, a police officer standing nearby slammed his hand on the interrogation table in anger and reprimanded Zhou Tao sternly, "Zhou Tao! Watch your attitude!"

Seeing his subordinate's reaction, Jia Dongming smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then said to Zhou Tao in a slow and unhurried manner, "Zhou Tao! When we sent you to prison, our original intention was that you would reform yourself well in prison and become a person who contributes to society after you are released. But we never expected that you would not learn anything else in prison, but you did learn some ways to deal with our police."

Jia Dongming paused slightly after saying this, then turned to Zhou Tao and said, "Zhou Tao! I'm not here to interrogate you, but to tell you a story. I hope that after hearing this story, you won't regret what you've done."

"Seven years ago, there was a girl who fell deeply in love with a boy. However, because the boy's family was not well-off, the girl's parents opposed their relationship. For the sake of the boy, the girl threatened her parents, saying that if they did not agree to their marriage, she would rather sever ties with them than not be with the boy. As a result, her father was so angry that he was hospitalized."

"Although the girl's father was so angry that he was hospitalized, he still disagreed with her marrying the boy for the sake of her happiness. In order to get her parents' approval, the girl was willing to risk being scorned by society and had premarital relations with the boy, hoping to force her parents to agree to their marriage by making it a fait accompli." "However, fate is unpredictable. One day, the boy got into a fight and seriously injured someone, and was eventually sentenced to prison. While the boy was in prison, the girl discovered that she was pregnant with his child. In order to avoid the exposure of her premarital pregnancy and to protect the child in her womb, the girl had no choice but to marry a man she did not love, as arranged by her parents."

"Seven years later, the boy was released from prison. He thought of the vows he and the girl had made and went to find her immediately. However, when he arrived at the girl's house, he discovered that she had already married someone else. This news made the boy feel extremely desperate, especially since he learned that the girl had found a new lover so soon after he went to prison. He felt betrayed by the girl and wanted to take revenge!"

"Stop talking! This is definitely fake, it's absolutely fake. You're just trying to make me admit to murder, you've made up a story to deceive me, that's it." As Zhou Tao listened to Jia Dongming's story, his expression grew increasingly ugly. Before Jia Dongming could finish, he lost control and interrupted him, angrily refuting Jia Dongming's story.

Seeing Zhou Tao's emotions spiraling out of control because of his story, Jia Dongming's eyes flashed with wisdom as he continued, "The boy felt betrayed by the girl, so he planned to take revenge. He ambushed her on her way to work, demanding an explanation from her, and even threatened her that if she didn't give him an explanation, he would go to her husband and tell him about their relationship."

"For the sake of her two children, the girl had no choice but to accept the boy's blackmail and go to the boy's sister's house to meet him. The boy had no idea about the truth of the girl's marriage back then. He believed that he had gone to jail for the girl, and that the girl had betrayed their promise not long after he went to jail. So, in a fit of rage, he raped and murdered the girl, and even cut off her head to vent his anger."

"No! No! You're lying to me, you must be lying to me." After learning the truth about Wen Wanhong's marriage, Zhou Tao's face showed an incredulous expression. At this moment, he kept telling himself that none of this was true, but when he thought about his relationship with Wen Wanhong, and the fact that Wen Wanhong had even planned to elope with him, Zhou Tao's emotions instantly spiraled out of control, and he vehemently refuted everything Jia Dongming said.

Seeing that Zhou Tao's emotions had completely spiraled out of control, Jia Dongming immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Zhou Tao! In order to protect your child, Wen Wanhong had no choice but to marry a man she didn't love. As a result, after you were released from prison, she mistakenly believed that he had betrayed her. In the end, out of love turned to hatred, she ruthlessly killed Wen Wanhong. To be honest, I really feel sorry for Wen Wanhong."

"You think that just because you learned some counter-surveillance skills in prison, you can manipulate us at will, even burying dead rats in your own yard to try and fool our investigators and challenge the authority of our public security. But you've forgotten the saying, 'The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it!'"

"Our comrades have already gone to your sister's house. Whether you confess or not, we will have enough power to send you to the execution ground. It's a pity about your six-year-old daughter. If she is only the murderer of her own mother, but it turns out to be her own father, I wonder if she will hate you for the rest of her life?"
