He said, “Old Chow, I swear to God, I didn’t say a word. You’ve worked it out outside, too.”
Old Zhou’s face froze for a moment, his fingers tapping on the table as if he was impatient, and only after a good half day did he say, “This thing of yours is a bit of a problem.”
“Trouble?”
“That’s right, quite a bit of trouble. You have a lot of witnesses in this affair, and it’s not easy to set things right one by one.”
“The last time my father asked someone to talk to me, those people were all squared away, they’ll be willing to help me take the blame, my family isn’t afraid to spend money.”
“Peng, you don’t understand the procedure of our police work, many things can’t be fixed just by having money. Now you have too much evidence of guilt, although they are willing to help you take the blame, but the police will compare statements, they don’t just believe whatever you say.”
Zheng Peng froze for a moment, “Then, what then? Uncle Zhou, you must help me.”
“Take it easy, take a sip of water and I’ll talk to you slowly.”
Old Zhou pushed the glass of water to Zheng Peng, Zheng Peng picked up the glass of water and thought about it, suddenly before he drank the water, he suddenly remembered something and said, “Old Zhou, you really can’t let me get caught, I, you and I are a grasshopper on the same rope! If anything happens to me, you won’t get away with it.”
He was trying to scare Old Zhou, but these words instantly made Old Zhou’s face darken.
Zheng Peng said, “Every thing can only be done with your participation we can do, Binjiang Haino, and that gun ……”
“Bang!”
Zheng Peng’s words were just halfway through, when suddenly Old Zhou slapped his hand on the table, taking Zheng Peng by surprise.
At this moment, Old Zhou’s face already looked like a completely changed person, gloomy and terrifying.
His two elbows were propped up on the table, and his upper body pressed down in Zheng Peng’s direction.
“What do you mean?”
Zheng Peng swallowed, “What I mean is that you don’t want to dump me and escape on your own, and if I die, we’ll die together. And I’m warning you, even if I die, my parents will still confess that it was you who came.”
Looking at Old Zhou’s gloomy expression, Zheng Peng was a little proud, just such a stinking cop, always pressing on his head, he had long looked at it with displeasure, today it was just the right time to educate this cop.
Old Zhou said in a cold voice, “Your parents?”
“Yes, there’s no way my parents will let you go.”
Old Zhou said, “After you leave from here, there is no way you will be acquitted either, and it is estimated that in less than two weeks, new evidence of your guilt will be found and you will be recaptured then. So after you leave, you have to go to the neighbouring Southeast Asian countries immediately, your mother will accompany you, your mother should have boarded the ship by now, originally I wanted your father to go with me, but your father didn’t want to, if he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t want to.”
Zheng Peng swallowed hard, his mind was simple, he only heard the word leave from Old Zhou’s words.
“So when can I leave?”
“Don’t be in a hurry, you can definitely leave.” Old Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, “Have a drink of water first, you will be thirsty on the road later.”
“I’m not drinking water, I’ll drink it when I get out.” Zheng Peng said in a small voice.
“Why don’t you drink?” Old Zhou asked.
“Why must I drink it? It’s not like I’m thirsty.” Zheng Peng was not a fool, he was just rather stupid, and there was definitely something wrong with Old Zhou’s reaction now.
Old Zhou looked at him like a cheetah, and after a while, Old Zhou smiled.
“What’s wrong? You just said you were thirsty.”
“I, I don’t want to drink, when are you going to let me out, what the hell are we talking about sitting here for half a day? Old Chow, I’m really warning you not to fool me. Over the years, we at Kougyao have given you a lot of money, your son and daughter have gone abroad to study, your wife and mother have emigrated abroad, with your position, could you have earned so much money? It’s all because you ate the oil and water from my Kougyao, to say the least, my Kougyao is considered your boss, you should be polite to your own boss, but, but be polite.”
“Oh?” Old Zhou suppressed his anger, “Kid, that’s something your father wouldn’t dare to say to me, yet you dare to say that to me.”
“My father was giving you face, he told me in private I don’t know how many times that you are a …… strip raised by our Zheng family.”
Zheng Peng still has a brain at this critical moment, his fate is in the hands of others yet, fortunately he did not blurt out the words a dog raised by the Zheng family out of his mouth.
But this does not help, the fire in the heart of old Zhou has been lit up.
Zheng Peng said, “Zhou Jianguo, it’s better for everyone if you let me out. I’ll show you the truth, I know what you’re thinking now, you just want to drag me to death, I tell you, it’s not that easy. If I die, your whole family will be buried with me.”
Old Zhou laughed out loud, as if he had heard some great joke, he covered his face and after a while wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked, “So, you have been refusing to drink the water, are you worried that I will poison the water cup?”
“Yes, I told you, I was afraid you were going to get me killed.”
Zheng Peng couldn’t help but remember the words Zhang Chao had whispered in his ear when he was in the prison just now.
At first he hadn’t taken it to heart, thinking that Zhang Chao was trying to scam him, but now the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it wasn’t that simple. Still, he couldn’t understand why Zhang Chao had been so kind as to remind him, Zhang Chao was not a good person.
Zheng Peng saw Old Zhou with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, so he urged, “Hey, say something.”
“I would love to know what you have on me? Huh?” Old Zhou’s tone was wild.
“The f*ck I do. I’m asking you if you’ve approved every use of the Fengqi branch’s arsenal.”
“But I wasn’t the one who signed it, it was Yu Shen.”
“You! Oh you think that’s enough, my parents transferred money to you too, how do you explain that money? Overseas accounts you can also check.”
“Then you, you’ve had so many dealings with us. There’s always one person who sees it.”
“Zheng Peng, you are really too naive, your family’s ten thousand dollars are going to be lost by you. Police cases are about evidence, where is the evidence?”
“I ……” Zheng Peng was dumbfounded by Old Zhou and immediately changed his attitude, “Uncle Zhou, don’t be like that, I was just joking with you, get me out of here.”
Old Zhou grunted and added, “Did you just suspect me of poisoning your water?”
“I… I was joking.” Zheng Peng said with a smile, “Uncle Zhou, I’m just a stupid person, don’t get too worked up with me.”
“Hey.” Zhou Bureau laughed, “Not bothering with you, I really poisoned this water, I just didn’t expect you to guess it, you don’t look like such a smart person, tell me, how did you guess it?”
Old Zhou’s words caused Zheng Peng to freeze, his face randomly paled, he subconsciously tried to escape and almost fell off his chair.
“You you you ……”
