Cai Xiaobing threw up his fist to punch him, I stopped him with a smile and said, “Don’t be rude, look how civilized they are, they know how to protect themselves with the weapons of the law.”
Lin Kang, a man with a thicker skin than a city wall, heard me talking to Cai Xiaobing like that and thought I was afraid of him, adding, “Also, I’m going to sue you for abusing me! I haven’t slept since last night! You are extorting a confession by torture!”
Ah Ming was so angry that smoke was coming out of both nostrils and he pointed at Lin Kang’s nose and said, “Don’t be a nose-picker.”
I pressed the angry Ah Ming and Cai Xiaobing, smiled and knocked on the table, “Lin Kang, you are so right, where are your rights, they will all be guaranteed to you when we are done with the questioning. Let me tell you clearly first, we’re not a police station here, and those rights you have to see a lawyer, I can’t satisfy you for now, but they will be satisfied when I send you to the criminal investigation brigade.”
Lin Kang shouted, “Then you’re illegally detaining me! What are you, and who are you to arrest me?”
I really didn’t expect this man, who was often arrested and put in a dog cage because he couldn’t pay back his loan sharks, to be talking to me about illegal detention at this time, and I thought Ya was used to it.
I shot a wink at Ah Ming and Cai Xiaobing, signaling them to keep quiet, then I gave Cai Xiaobing a heated smile: “Let me introduce you. These two are from the Snow Leopard Special Operations Unit of the Northwest Military Region’s Special Operations Corps, and you are now in the Snow Leopard Temporary Operations Department. After the questioning is over later, we will send you to the police, and you can hire a lawyer then. But here, everything is ordered with the mission as the highest order, we give you the chance to wear your crime, if you can’t cooperate, then I’ll have someone send you to Xia Gehuai in a moment.”
Lin Kang pursued, “Wait, so what exactly did you call me here for? A few months ago, I did buy a gun for that foreigner, but ……”
I interrupted him, “It’s not about you killing Chen Ruhai anyway, that’s not our business. If you can’t recall anything, don’t force it. Xiao Cai, you take him to the police station right away, Xia Gehuai is still waiting. The case is definitely a death sentence, with all the evidence and evidence, and there is no surrender to reduce the sentence, but you should apply for a lawyer for him. He still has some rights that he needs a lawyer to protect. ……”
Cai Xiaobing said, “What rights?”
I thought for a moment and said, “Yo, I don’t know about that. But there’s always got to be, maybe a choice between a bullet or the electric chair.”
Cai Xiaobing turned pale: “I’m telling you, I’m telling you! Zhang Chao, I’m telling you! This gun seller is called He Bi.”
“He Bi?!” Cai Xiaobing and I shouted out of breath.
I immediately asked, “How do you write that, can you recognise him?”
“Nonsense, of course I can recognise him, I almost got him killed, I can recognise him even when he’s turned into dust.”
Meng Meng came down from upstairs holding his computer and pulled up a picture of He Bi who lived in Lin Yue’er’s house and was about to turn it around to show Lin Kang.
I squeezed Meng Meng’s arm and told him to wait, then I picked another person’s photo and turned it over to show Lin Kang.
“Is it this guy?”
Rincon squinted at it for a moment, then his eyes rolled, “Uh yeah, that’s him!”
I closed the computer and said to Ah Ming, “Don’t keep shaking his eyes with the light.”
Lin Kang said dejectedly, “That’s right, you hear me? My brother Zhang Chao has given the word!”
A-Min looked at me strangely, and I said, “Don’t you see how he’s so desperate, what’s the point of shaking him with a lamp? If he doesn’t tell the truth, he can be sent to the police station. I’m not going to pursue this line.”
“Huh? Brother, brother-in-law, what does this mean?” Lin Kang smiled, “Let’s talk about it properly.”
I grunted, not even bothering to look at him, and turned to leave with Meng Meng in tow.
Lin Kang shouted anxiously behind me, “Zhang Chao, your words don’t count, I’ve already cooperated with you, why are you still letting people interrogate me?”
I was convinced, in this grandson’s mind, probably everyone else was a fool and could let him play around.
I said, “I’ll let you die with the understanding that that photo just now wasn’t even He Bi, I deliberately took a fake one to test you.”
Lin Kang’s face turned red and he stammered, “Human nature can’t stand tests, who told you to test me?”
f*ck, he’s still in the mood to make wisecracks with me at this point, he’s so dead.
“Wait, can’t I tell you? Didn’t I just try to hang on for dear life a little longer?”
I didn’t even stop in my tracks, but Lin Kang continued, “If I don’t help you, you’ll never find He Bi! You don’t even know what he looks like! It will be too late for you to beg me.”
A-Min said, “I told you you were stupid and you’re still drooling, and you dare to threaten our case officers in return. I’m telling you, you don’t have to cooperate, from now on, the boss won’t come to see you. You are given a chance to wear your crime, but if you don’t want it, you won’t get it later.”
Lin Kang panicked and cursed at Ah Ming, “Who are you? You are all my brother-in-law’s men, and everything is up to him! Brother-in-law, let me go, don’t hand me over to the police.”
I laughed coldly twice, “What Ah Ming said is true, Lin Kang, your chance has been used up.”
Having said that, at Lin Kang’s desperate look, I closed the door.
Lin Kang had long been spoiled by his sister, thinking that he could always play the scoundrel and then beg for forgiveness, that someone would always forgive him and give him a chance to correct himself.
But I’m sorry, I’m not his father or his brother, and I don’t have to give him that chance forever.
If Lin Fang had been able to reject her brother’s unreasonable demands at the very beginning, perhaps Lin Kang would not have been reduced to the state he is in now.
In fact, I thanked Lin Kang for making a clever fool of me once again so that I could legitimately keep him around for a while longer.
Honestly, I hated Lin Kang so much that I wanted him to die in pieces. Even though I didn’t like Lin Fang anymore, I always felt that Lin Fang was the victim of this unworthy brother.
There is another reason for keeping Lin Kang here, and that is to force Lin Fang to show himself.
I asked Meng Meng to pull out the identities of all the people named He Bi in Tong City, and we would have to line them up one by one when the time came. The identities have already been circled anyway, and the ranking will just take some effort.
We went back upstairs and it was Lin Yue’er who opened the door for us.
“Don’t worry, we’ll catch Lin Fang soon.”
Lin Yue’er’s face was hard as she glanced at Cai Xiaobing and whispered, “Let me talk to you alone.”
