Although Lin Kai’s body was very weak, his brain was still very flexible.
He knew that there would be no good consequences for him now that he had fallen into this guy’s hands; these people were clearly trying to force a confession through torture, trying to make him bend over backwards.
“What do you want me to explain?” Lin Kai looked at Zhou Peng disdainfully and sneered, “I’ve already explained what happened, I don’t want to say it a second time!”
“Is that so?” Zhou Peng showed a hazy smile and said, “Since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t force you, seeing as you seem quite tired, I guess we didn’t serve you comfortably just now, so let’s give you some more excitement!”
This statement from Zhou Peng was clearly intended to screw Lin Kai to death.
……
Tang Huimin’s heart was half cold when she finished talking to Xiao Wenbin on the phone, after learning that Xiao Wenbin had suspended himself from his position as deputy director of the city’s Public Security Bureau.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. So she called Song Linna’s father, Song Mingyuan, hoping to get his help.
As Lin Kai had been kind to Song Mingyuan’s father and daughter and was his future son-in-law-to-be, as soon as he received the call from Tang Huimin, Song Mingyuan hurried to the detention centre.
When his full-time driver drove him to the detention centre, he walked briskly to the door of the torture room and pushed open the door, he was shocked by the situation inside.
He saw Lin Kai fixed in shackles and handcuffs on an interrogation bench, already beaten and bruised, already tortured beyond recognition.
“Stop it!”
Song Mingyuan saw that Zhou Peng was picking up a 10 million volt high-voltage electric baton and stabbing it towards Lin Kai’s body, so he rushed in and shouted to stop it.
Zhou Peng raised the electric police baton in the air and asked in surprise, “Auntie, you …… Why are you here?”
“If I hadn’t come, you would have beaten someone to death,” Song Mingyuan asked sternly, “What deep hatred do you have with Lin Kai, why do you want to torture him like this?”
“He was selling drugs, attacking the police and refusing to admit the crime, so we had to torture him.” Zhou Peng put down his electric police baton and explained to Song Mingyuan.
“You are torturing him to extract a confession, do you know that?” Song Mingyuan reminded.
“Who saw us extorting a confession by torture?” Zhou Peng called a policeman aside and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t I explain to you guys not to just let anyone in? How did he get in?”
“Yes…… it was Deputy Director Tang who brought him in……” the policeman explained.
“Where is she?” Zhou Peng questioned.
“Deputy Chief Tang is outside, she didn’t come in ……,” the policeman replied.
Zhou Peng questioned, “You know full well that she is suspected of drug trafficking and is no longer a deputy director of any municipal public security bureau, why are you listening to her?”
“This …… this ……” the little policeman wanted to say something but couldn’t.
When Song Mingyuan saw Zhou Peng and the little policeman standing around muttering, he said loudly, “Lin Kai is badly injured, I want to bail him out now and send him to the hospital, please let him go!”
“No way.” Zhou Peng flatly refused.
“Why?” Song Mingyuan questioned.
“He’s a major suspect, if I let him go and something goes wrong and the top blames me, I can’t take the blame.”
“So, you won’t even listen to me?”
“These are two different things,” Zhou Peng explained, “Auntie, Lin Kai is suspected of drug trafficking, this has nothing to do with you, so you should leave it alone.”
“You say he’s dealing drugs and he’s dealing drugs? I suspect that someone planted evidence to frame him!” Song Mingyuan said in a cold voice.
“He has already admitted himself that he put a packet of white powder into Tang Huimin’s handbag, could it still be false? What is this if not drug trafficking?” Zhou Peng said with a serious face, “To tell you the truth, before the case is investigated clearly, I really can’t release him, and it’s useless for anyone to intercede in front of me!”
“In that case, I have nothing to say,” Song Mingyuan glared at Zhou Peng and said in a cold voice: “Zhou Peng, I know, you are hardened wings, I can’t do anything about you now, you don’t release him, if anything happens to him here, I’m not finished with you, you can do it yourself! You’re on your own!”
Zhou Peng made an iron-faced appearance and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll have someone take care of him.”
Lin Kai gradually recovered and when he saw that Song Mingyuan had come to plead with Zhou Peng to no avail, he knew that he did not want to let him off easily and said with a smile on his face.
“Uncle, don’t beg him, they won’t dare to do anything to me!”
Song Mingyuan walked to Lin Kai’s side and said heartily, “Lin Kai, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine!” Lin Kai said with relief.
“I don’t believe you would deal drugs, someone must have tried to plant evidence to frame you,” Song Mingyuan said, “Don’t worry, I will hire a lawyer to defend you and return you to innocence.”
“Thank you, uncle!” Lin Kai returned a grateful smile to Song Mingyuan.
As the saying goes, one does not look at the face of the Buddha without looking at the face of the monk, despite the fact that Song Linna’s mother, Zhou Peng’s aunt, had died early, Song Mingyuan usually took care of Zhou Peng.
If not for the social background and power of Song Mingyuan’s family, Zhou Peng would not have been able to gain a foothold in the Public Security Bureau, let alone climb to the position of chief of criminal investigation.
Therefore, Zhou Peng still had some respect for Song Mingyuan and did not dare to act rashly in front of him.
“Aunt, I’m sorry, tonight, it’s not that I don’t give you face, but it’s my duty,” Zhou Peng pulled Song Mingyuan aside and said earnestly, “You also know that it’s not easy for me to become the head of the criminal investigation team, so I can’t afford to make a half-a*sed mistake. If I promise you to let Lin Kai go, if anything happens, there will be no way to give an account to the top, please support and understand my work!”
“I’ve already said what I should say, you should behave yourself!” Song Mingyuan didn’t want to nag Zhou Peng, the white-eyed wolf, and gave him a fierce glare before turning around and leaving the interrogation room.
Faced with Song Mingyuan’s warning, Zhou Peng did not dare to rough up Lin Kai again, and after giving a few instructions to Huang Debiao and the others, he walked out of the interrogation room.
He opened his mobile phone and saw several missed call alerts on it, all from Xiao Wenbin, the head of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and hurriedly called the number back.
“Chief Xiao, you’re calling for me?” Zhou Peng asked in a curt tone.
“Zhou Peng, what the hell are you up to? Why is the phone off?” Xiao Wenbin’s high octave voice came from the phone.
Zhou Peng hurriedly explained, “I was just interrogating drug trafficking suspect Lin Kai, and I was afraid that someone would disturb me during the interrogation, so I turned off my phone ……”
“Did you interrogate anything?” Xiao Wenbin asked in a cold voice.
“Not yet,” Zhou Peng said sincerely and fearfully, “The guy is very hard-headed and tight-lipped, but I’ll get him to talk soon ……”
“In that case, have you tortured him?” Xiao Wenbin asked in surprise.
“Yes …… yes,” Zhou Peng felt that things were a bit bad and stammered, “moved …… moved… …”
“Who told you to do that? Is it badly hurt?” Xiao Wenbin asked after him.
“There …… is a little ……,” Zhou Peng replied incoherently.
“Why don’t you guys hurry up and take him to the hospital so the doctor can bandage and treat him?” Xiao Wenbin said angrily, “If anything happens, I’ll be the first to remove you from your post!”
Zhou Peng hurriedly replied, “I …… I’ll get right on it ……”
