Chapter 529: Use the other person's way to repay the other person's kindness

Perhaps because Zhao Yun and Jiang Feng were following behind him, Lin Mo found the scene not so serious when he entered. Even the two police officers who were questioning him spoke in a soft and gentle voice. It was obvious that they must have received some information.

It's important to understand that when the police are questioning criminals, their expressions will be relatively serious; otherwise, it won't be enough to deter them.

But this time the situation is obviously different. Not to mention that Lin Mo is not an ordinary person without a background, the key point is that his background is sitting right outside.

Most importantly, these people knew perfectly well whether there was any evidence or not, but it was an order from their superiors, and they could only carry it out.

However, it's important to be careful about the process, because nobody wants to be complained about and get into trouble.
"Name"

"Lin Mo!"

"age"

"21"

Inside the interrogation room, Lin Mo answered the other party's questions methodically. He was treated well, even receiving drinks and instant noodles. The reason was simple: he was hungry.

He didn't have lunch and went straight to a restaurant. Now he's at the police station, so of course he won't treat himself badly.

Where were you at 4:13 PM on the 28th of last month?

After taking a big bite of instant noodles and a swig of his drink, Lin Mo said, "Let me think... it's been a while. Oh, I remember now. I was in my hometown, Nancheng. If nothing unexpected happened, I should have been eating at a rice noodle shop near my house. There should be surveillance cameras there. You can check it. It shouldn't be past the automatic overwrite period yet, so it should be easy to find."

Upon hearing this, the two police officers exchanged a glance. The younger officer took notes, while the older, middle-aged officer continued speaking:

"According to our investigation, you also went to a local building materials factory in your southern city that day, right?"

Lin Mo: "That's right, I went for a walk around!"

"Why did you go? And what did you do after you got there?" the middle-aged police officer asked.

Lin Mo used a ramen fork to spear an egg, put it in his mouth, and muttered as he chewed, "Why? Just going for a stroll. My dad works at the steel mill nearby. I went in and took a look around, and also asked if the factory needed anyone. After all, I'm currently unemployed, the restaurant is closed for renovations, and I missed the fall recruitment season. I need to find a place to earn some money!"

Upon hearing this, the police officer who was questioning him couldn't help but twitch his lips. They had already briefly looked into Lin Mo's information. You're telling me that a boss who makes millions a month is looking for a job in a factory? Is that reasonable?

But Lin Mo didn't care about any of that. I have no job and no money, so why should I go out and find a job? Isn't that reasonable? It's perfectly reasonable.

"Then what about these? How do you explain these? In just five days, you visited all these companies. Did you go there for interviews?"

"And what a coincidence that all the places you visited ended up having power outages?" the police officer asked, his tone becoming more forceful.

Lin Mo wasn't angry about this, and simply replied calmly, "Not entirely. At least at these hotels, I just checked in. After all, when you're traveling, you always need a place to stay, right?"

The middle-aged police officer slammed his hand on the table, about to explode in anger, but then remembered his colleague's instructions before he arrived, and forcibly suppressed his rage.

He knew perfectly well that Lin Mo wasn't telling the truth, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Then why did you choose these companies? As far as I know, you had a conflict with people from these two companies some time ago," the police officer asked.

Lin Mo put the last piece of chicken sausage into his mouth, then picked up the instant noodle cup, took a big gulp of soup, and finally felt alive again, saying, "That's right, it's because of the conflict with them that I thought of applying for a job at their company and earning some money!"

"Lin Mo, you'd better straighten out your attitude. Let me tell you the truth: the power outages at multiple locations in both companies have caused incalculable losses. You'd better tell the truth and you might be able to get a lenient treatment."

Even the complainants, Mr. Qin and Mr. Huang, have spoken up. They said that as long as you confess and explain how you cut off the factory's power and restored it, they can drop the case and not pursue your responsibility. Think it over! The middle-aged police officer said in a deep voice, his eyes filled with a sense of pressure.

They employ a strategy of giving a harsh rebuke followed by a sweet treat, creating pressure while offering a glimmer of hope—a skill they possess, as questioning and interrogation also require technique. If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, their methods would have been far more sophisticated; it could be said that Jiang Feng's earlier words limited their scope.

But that applies to ordinary people. Lin Mo is clearly not one of them, because he knows one thing clearly: the other party doesn't even know what methods he used, so how could he possibly obtain his so-called evidence? Therefore, what he is saying now is just a means.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shrugged: "Where's the evidence? They don't even know the reason for the power outage, how would I know? What am I supposed to say? It can't be that I went to the restroom and their company's power went out, can it?"

These words hit the nail on the head. There was no evidence, and they didn't even know the cause of the power outage. They wanted to investigate, but they didn't know where to begin.

All they know now is that Lin Mo visited those businesses that experienced power outages, and some of them even have video recordings, which they have watched.

Indeed, no one discovered how Lin Mo managed to cut off the power to the other company; he didn't even have a chance to access the power source.

The situation remained deadlocked. No matter how the other party questioned him, Lin Mo would deny it repeatedly, saying "It wasn't me, don't talk nonsense."

As for other basic information, he was completely open and honest, even detailing where he went on which days and how he got there, without any intention of hiding anything.

Based on the existing evidence, Lin Mo is indeed innocent. Even when the entire company experienced a power outage, Lin Mo was in Nancheng. How could he have caused a power outage for companies in other cities?

But his attitude and whereabouts made almost everyone suspicious of him, but it was no use, there was no evidence.

After a four-hour standoff, it was now 8 p.m. Lin Mo remained adamant and refused to admit anything.

With Zhao Yun and Jiang Feng outside, they chose to end the interrogation even though they could have stalled for 12 hours.

There's no other reason than that they violated regulations in this matter. Although it wasn't a major issue, if someone caught them and reported it, it would still become a breakthrough point.

Those who are on good terms with Qin Zhenhong will definitely be investigated.

As Lin Mo walked out, he saw Zhao Yun and Jiang Feng in the hall.

"You're out. Are you alright?" Zhao Yun asked first.

Lin Mo shook his head: "It's nothing, just a routine question." Then he looked at Jiang Feng beside him and said: "Thank you, Brother Jiang. Thank you for staying with me so late!"

"It's nothing. Of course I'll do my best to handle the things the old man asked me to do," Jiang Feng said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo glanced at Qin Zhenhong and Huang Dayong, who were fidgeting beside him, and smiled slightly. He then stepped forward and stood in front of them, saying in a deep voice, "You two have some good methods. But since that's the case, we have plenty of time. I'll play with you slowly. If one month isn't enough, then two months will do. After all, there are many unexpected things that can happen, like wind or rain. Don't you agree?"

Qin Zhenhong's expression darkened: "Don't be so arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo shrugged and said, "That's how I do things."

"Oh, by the way, I heard from the police officers inside that you suffered huge losses this time. I hope you can hold on."

After saying that, Lin Mo called Zhao Yun and the other woman to leave the police station, and asked them to take him back to the hotel to pick up his car.

An hour later, the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau received a report:
"Hello, my restaurant suddenly lost power. I suspect it was vandalism. My suspects are Qin Zhenhong, Huang Dayong, Qin Tian, ​​and Huang Hao. They are the only outsiders who came here today. Please summon them according to the law to assist the police investigation!"

On Wednesday, Lin Mo stood in the darkness of the hotel and spoke with a cold smile.

This move is called "using their own methods against them"!
