Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

Jingzhou Public Security Bureau.

trial room.

There are no windows here, only a pale white incandescent light bulb overhead, emitting a buzzing sound of electricity.

The air was filled with a musty smell of smoke and an atmosphere of despair.

Fatty Liu was locked in a specially made interrogation chair.

Only two hours had passed.

He looked like he had shed a layer of skin.

His face was as pale as paper, and his entire body of fat was trembling uncontrollably.

On the opposite side of him.

Wang Weiguo sipped his tea slowly and deliberately.

He did not use torture.

For a seasoned veteran like Fatty Liu, physical pain might not be effective.

What truly broke him was psychological despair.

"Fatty Liu".

Wang Weiguo put down his teacup, his voice as calm as if he were having a casual chat.

"You should know our methods."

"This incident has blown up too much; someone has to step up and take responsibility."

Fatty Liu suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"Director Wang! I'm innocent!"

"That was all ordered me to do by Zhao Ruilong!"

"He was the one who came up with the idea of ​​poisoning! He also gave the order to beat people up!"

"I'm just a gofer!"

"I have a phone recording! I have evidence!"

Fatty Liu screamed frantically, as if he had grasped at a straw.

He didn't want to go to jail.

I don't want to be a scapegoat!

Wang Weiguo did not panic at all upon hearing this.

Instead, he revealed a mocking smile.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Then he sprayed all the smoke onto Fatty Liu's face.

"recording?"

"You mean the cell phone that was found on you when you were arrested?"

Wang Weiguo pointed to the evidence bag next to him.

It was completely empty.

Fatty Liu was stunned.

"My phone...where's my phone?"

"During the arrest just now, it accidentally fell into the sewer and was swept away."

Wang Weiguo said it casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"As for the evidence you mentioned..."

"Fatty Liu, do you think anyone would dare to testify for you now?"

"Are those your underlings?"

"Or are they the same drivers who already received hush money?"

boom!

These words struck Liu Pangzi like a bolt from the blue.

He stared blankly at Wang Weiguo.

I finally understand what it means to have absolute power.

In Gyeongju.

If the Zhao family wanted to crush him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant!

All the evidence is gone.

All escape routes have been cut off.

"What do you want...?"

Fatty Liu slumped in his chair, his voice filled with despair.

Wang Weiguo stood up and walked up to Fatty Liu.

He took out a prepared transcript from his briefcase.

It was covered with dense writing.

"It's very simple."

"Sign it."

Wang Weiguo pointed to the signature area on the transcript.

"Admit that you were the one who did everything."

"It was you who, in order to curry favor with Zhao Ruilong, took it upon yourself to set up the food factory."

"You hired thugs to intercept the Suda Logistics vehicles."

"Zhao Ruilong was completely unaware of this."

Fatty Liu trembled as he looked at the statement that was about to send him to hell.

"Why...why should I bear this alone?"

"That's ten years! Maybe even twenty!"

Wang Weiguo leaned down and whispered in his ear:

"Just look at your wife and children, still in Jingzhou."

"Fatty Liu, you're a smart man."

"If you can get through this, someone will take care of your family."

"Get your wife a good job and send your son to the best school."

"And then, once you're sentenced..."

"Please pull some strings, get me medical parole, reduce my sentence..."

"You'll be out in three to five years at most."

"After you get out, I'll give you a sum of money, enough to ensure you live a worry-free life for the rest of your days."

At this point, Wang Weiguo's tone suddenly turned chilling.

"but!"

"If you insist on biting Young Master Zhao..."

"Then you won't be able to get out."

"Your wife and children..."

"Hehe, the security situation in Jingzhou hasn't been very good lately."

Threat!

A blatant threat!

Fatty Liu stared intently at Wang Weiguo.

Tears and snot mixed together and streamed down my face.

He hates it!

I hate myself for being so blind as to follow the Zhao family, a bunch of ruthless wolves who eat people without spitting out the bones!

But he had no choice.

On one hand, families are being torn apart and people are dying.

On one hand, it's about exchanging several years of freedom for the safety and wealth of one's family.

a long time.

A heart-wrenching wail echoed from the interrogation room.

"I'll sign!"

"I'll sign!"

Fatty Liu picked up the pen with trembling hands.

He signed his name on the fabricated statement.

that moment.

He seemed to have all his energy and spirit drained away.

He slumped in the chair like a lump of mud.

Wang Weiguo picked up the notebook and carefully checked it over.

After confirming that everything is correct.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"That's right."

"Those who understand the times are wise."

He patted Fatty Liu on the shoulder, turned around, and walked out of the interrogation room.

Outside.

Several trusted police officers were waiting.

"Chief, how is it?"

Wang Weiguo waved the notebook in his hand, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

"Notify Secretary Shen of the Provincial Party Committee's special investigation team."

"Just say the case has been solved."

"The main culprit, Liu, has confessed to his crimes."

"The chain of evidence is complete, and the case is airtight!"

"Let him come over... the case is closed!"

......

The No. 1 building of the Provincial Party Committee.

Task force office.

Shen Zhongxing looked at the thick file in front of him, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.

so perfect.

This case file, transferred by the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, is absolutely perfect.

Confessions, physical evidence, motive, time of the crime...

Every step was perfectly executed.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

All the blame was directed at the gang leader known as Fatty Liu.

As for Zhao Ruilong...

The only response was a curt, "I was unaware."

Even in the statements.

Fatty Liu repeatedly emphasized that Zhao Ruilong had advised him to abide by the law, but he had been bewitched by his own ignorance.

"They're treating us like fools!"

Shen Zhongxing was so angry that he slammed the case file heavily on the table.

As a veteran who has been navigating the officialdom for many years.

How could he not see that this was a cover-up?

This is a blatant insult to the intelligence of the task force!

"Team leader, what do we do?"

The assistant beside him cautiously asked, "Should we interrogate Fatty Liu and reopen the investigation?"

Shen Zhongxing let out a long sigh.

Reinvestigation?

How do I check?

The person is currently in the custody of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Even if interrogation is conducted.

Fatty Liu must have memorized his lines long ago.

Moreover, the crucial physical evidence is gone.

To investigate further would be to directly break ties with Zhao Lichun, and even to slap the face of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Without the approval of Lu Kangcheng, the top official of the provincial party committee.

Shen Zhongxing didn't have that kind of guts.

"Walk."

Shen Zhongxing stood up and picked up the case file.

"Go and report to Secretary Lu."

"This is a hot potato, I can't handle it."
