Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 170 Tao Jun's Confession

Tian Hao said he was suspended from duty, but he did not hand over his gun or identification documents.

Now that Gao Bin, a high-ranking official, has given him verbal approval, all he needs to do is write a report and submit it, and he will be officially reinstated without any delays in any aspect.

As for making things difficult? With Gao Bin, a big shot, backing us up, what's there to be afraid of?

Upon receiving the good news, Tian Hao ran up to Gao Bin, raised his hand in salute, and said, "Thank you, Prosecutor Gao!"

Gao Bin imitated Yang Xingguo's cough, saying, "Cough, don't give me that. Who were those people who weren't wearing police uniforms and were hanging out with you just now?"

"There aren't many people. One is Jin Ping'an, an advisor to our police force; another is Cheng Lejia, the young master of Shengjia Group; and the third is an informant."

They were all involved in the case and provided significant assistance in advancing the investigation.

Tian Hao gave a vague answer, deliberately obscuring the messenger's identity.

After all, this Supreme Prosecutor is someone from above, and no one can figure out his attitude towards the messenger.

Gao Bin nodded, feigning seriousness: "Hmm, well done."

Seeing that Gao Bin didn't press the matter, Tian Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What he didn't know was that Gao Bin, this paper tiger, wouldn't dare to ask any more questions.

Gao Bin was afraid that after asking, the other party would ask him to express his own opinions and insights.

How should I view this? I want to view it while lying down.

Inside the interrogation room were Tao Jun, Gao Bin, and Tian Hao.

Outside the interrogation room were Liu Yuan, Jin Pingan, and Cheng Lejia, observing the interrogation process through the glass.

They were very curious about Gao Bin, who had become an inspector at such a young age.

The three stood in a row, separated by a one-way mirror, ready to learn the other party's interrogation techniques.

The table in the interrogation room of the Qianhua City Criminal Investigation Detachment was large, and the police officers and suspects were separated by a distance of three or four meters.

Tao Jun was only handcuffed on one hand, because the injury to his other hand made it inconvenient to cuff him.

Time was of the essence, so his right hand was simply treated with hemostasis, bone setting, anesthesia, and bandages and splints.

Although Tao Jun's hands were numbed, his mouth wasn't. The pain of his front tooth breaking in the middle was no less than having a bamboo skewer poked under his fingernail.

He was sweating profusely from the pain and was fidgeting restlessly in the chair of regret.

Gao Bin sat in the presiding judge's seat, and Tian Hao consciously picked up his notebook and voice recorder.

But the next sentence stunned him.

"You will preside over the trial."

Gao Bin said with a stern face.

“Prosecutor General, this…” Tian Hao looked at the record book in his hand and hesitated.

"Just do what I tell you to do, don't hesitate."

After Gao Bin finished speaking, he crossed his arms and closed his eyes, displaying the arrogance of an inspector to the fullest extent.

In reality, Gao Bin was just afraid that Tian Hao would throw the notebook at him.

He followed Shi Feng and took statements for two whole years, and now he feels terrified whenever he sees the little blue notebook.

Fortunately, Tian Hao wasn't so tactless as to let this big shot help him take notes, so he had to do two jobs himself.

Tao Jun was a regular at the interrogation room. This gray-black environment not only did not bring him any pressure, but also made him feel at ease.

Given the current situation, he is much safer here than outside.

The only person he was wary of was Gao Bin, who was standing next to Tian Hao.

You should know that Tian Hao is a veteran in the criminal investigation team. He has sent away two or three captains and deputy captains of the criminal investigation team.

Sometimes his words carried more weight than Liu Yuan's.

Whether based on seniority or merit, it's only right that Tian Hao should become the captain of the Qianhua City Criminal Police Team.

Unfortunately, a few years ago, Shi Hongfang was suddenly parachuted in, which led to him becoming the crown prince for a few more years.

Seeing Gao Bin's scolding of Tian Hao, Tao Jun immediately became extremely vigilant.

Neither Shi Hongfang nor Liu Yuan dared to reprimand Tian Hao like that.

Tao Jun had dealt with all the officials, big and small, in Qianhua City, but he had at least a basic impression of them all. However, Gao Bin was not among those basic impressions.

In particular, the way Tian Hao addressed this person just now made Tao Jun suspect that he was the prosecutor sent by higher authorities to investigate the robbery case.

"Tell me every single word you know!"

Tian Hao did not ask for specific details, but instead let Tao Jun confess his crimes himself.

The other party is unaware of how much evidence the police have, which allows for the maximum possible acquisition of accurate information.

Tian Hao opened his notebook and picked up a pen: "Since Wang Sheng's disappearance, is Wang Sheng alive or dead?"

Tao Jun glanced at Gao Bin and hesitated for a moment before saying, "He's dead."

"How did he die? Where is his body now?"

Tian Hao pressed for an answer.

Tao Jun didn't answer, but rolled his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

"I'm asking you something!"

"Excuse me, Officer Tian, ​​the doctor gave me a slightly high dose of anesthesia, and I feel a little dizzy."

Tao Jun responded calmly, while in his mind he was pondering the confession that Hu Yingshao had taught him.

"Wang Sheng was drunk and accidentally fell to his death while going down the stairs."

Tao Jun said unhurriedly, "Shortly before the incident, his lighter accidentally exploded while he was lighting a cigarette, which burned his right hand. I took him to the hospital and then to the police station to have his fingerprints taken again."

Tian Hao snorted coldly: "Does a lighter burn require going to the police station to have your fingerprints taken again?"

Tao Jun had anticipated that Tian Hao would ask this question: "At the time, we were busy signing a shop transfer contract, and he was in charge of that matter. We didn't have time to wait for him to recover from his injury."

"After the contract was signed, we were going to have a drink to celebrate. But we got drunk and Wang Sheng slipped and fell from the second floor while going downstairs. His head hit the handrail."

Tao Jun didn't make eye contact with the two of them, staring straight at the ceiling: "I was also drunk at the time and didn't pay attention. I thought he was asleep, so I took a taxi home."

"Wait until the next day..."

"After you sobered up the next day, Wang Youcai asked you to dispose of Wang Sheng's body and find someone to impersonate Wang Sheng to kidnap girls to replenish the club's number of girls. That's what Hu Yingshao instructed you to do, right?"

Gao Bin crossed his hands, gently turning the ring on his right hand with the middle finger of his left hand.

Tao Jun was startled, but still tried to maintain an innocent expression: "Hu Yingshao? Oh... Wang Youcai's younger brother seems to be his assistant..."

“That’s right. Wang Youcai’s younger brother, Wang Youde, is Hu Yingshao’s assistant, and you are an undercover agent sent by Hu Yingshao to Wang Youcai’s side. You actively assisted Wang Youcai in building his vast empire so that you could do things for Hu Yingshao.”

Gao Bin covered the lower half of his face with his palm, leaving only his eyes visible as he stared intently at Tao Jun.

Looking into those calm yet profound eyes, Tao Jun panicked, and a light sweat began to break out on his forehead.

Impossible! How did he know all this?! Even Wang Youcai himself only just found out he was Hu Yingshao's man!
Could it be Song Jie? He has no reason to get involved in this matter, and even if he did, he wouldn't cooperate with the police.

That Zhang Feng? No, that's not right either...

Tao Jun was in a state of utter confusion, his mind racing, trying to figure out who had leaked the information to the police.

Not to mention Tao Jun, even Tian Hao and the three onlookers outside looked extremely surprised.

To be honest, this was something even they didn't know. How did this high-ranking prosecutor figure it out?

Moreover, judging from Tao Jun's expression, this is very likely true.

Could it be that Gao Bin deduced this conclusion based solely on the case materials they provided?
As expected of an inspector sent from above!

Sitting next to Gao Bin, Tian Hao gasped, realizing that this was a small contribution to global warming.

Puzzled, Tao Jun twitched his lips and forced a smile: "Officer, you're joking. Mr. Hu and I aren't..."

"Do you think that once the contents of those special USB drives are deleted, they can't be recovered?"

Gao Bin's eyes were indifferent, a calmness that came from seeing through everything and already knowing the future outcome.

dong dong dong.

Tao Jun's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Could the files be recovered? Wasn't Wang Youcai using one of those special encrypted USB drives? Why could they be recovered?
The thought of recovering the files sent chills down Tao Jun's spine, and cold sweat poured down his back.

Having served as Hu Yingshao's undercover agent for so many years, Tao Jun knew the old fox's character all too well.

Once the relevant documents are obtained by the police, he will be of no use to them.

Hu Yingshao wouldn't even bother to get me out of there. Once he got wind of it, he would definitely kill me in the detention center as soon as possible, and then pin all the blame on me.

Tao Jun has done this basic process countless times over the past ten years.

His heart pounded faster and faster as he recalled Hu Yingshao's methods.

Such a clear heartbeat could not escape Gao Bin's ears.

He followed Shi Feng in the Nevada City Criminal Investigation Department for two years, although he spent most of his time either slacking off or on his way to slacking off.

But I did learn a little about interrogation techniques.

He first mingled in the gray area, and then apprenticed under the 'two-faced' Shi Feng.

The interrogation methods he used were certainly not the aboveboard kind.

For example:

“Tell me the truth, and I can guarantee your safety and even help you apply for a reduced sentence; if you don’t, then you’ll have to stay in the detention center for a week to calm down. No one will interrogate you during this week, so you can think about your future.”

Gao Bin leaned back in his chair, pinching the bridge of his nose, further pushing Tao Jun's psychological defenses.

Damn it! What the hell am I thinking about the future?!

Tao Jun almost cursed out loud.

If Hu Yingshao finds out about the contents of this interrogation and leaves him in the detention center without any further care, wouldn't that be tantamount to sending him to his death?
You never know, you might go in upright one day and come out horizontal the next day because of hypoglycemia.

As for the needle marks on his neck?

Isn't it normal to have mosquitoes in the middle of summer?

You mean an autopsy?

Sigh, in the middle of the year... no, in the middle of summer, someone has died. Let's cremate them as soon as possible so they can rest in peace!

Tao Jun completely lost his composure. He didn't believe Gao Bin was unaware of the consequences of putting him in a detention center; it was clearly a death threat.

Who is this inspector? His methods are even more unruly than Tian Hao's!

"...The kidnapping was ordered to me by Hu Yingshao, and I used Wang Youcai's venue."

Tao Jun gave up struggling and told the truth.

All his escape routes were blocked. Regardless of whether the police had any evidence or not, once Hu Yingshao learned about the contents of this interrogation, he would have no way out.

If the other party already knows the statement that Hu Yingshao made him memorize in advance, is there any need to continue to hide it?

It would be better to be honest with this seemingly powerful guy sooner rather than later and see if we can get a chance to save our lives and reduce our sentence by two years.

"Their dirty secrets are all on those two USB drives. My role here is just that of a gofer, mainly responsible for finding girls for Hu Yingshao and then sending people to kidnap them."

So, once a person decides to betray someone, they will betray them completely.

Tao Jun initially spoke haltingly, but as the content increased, his sentences became more fluent.

"The incident began three months ago when Hu Yingshao was simply taking some drugs and going to Wang Youcai's club to find prostitutes."

But for some reason, from that day on, he seemed like a different person; he suddenly wanted to use women's bodily fluids to grind ink.

Upon hearing this, many people inside and outside the interrogation room frowned, especially Jin Ping'an, whose expression was the worst.

Disgusting as it may be, the interrogation must continue.

Gao Bin's "reasoning" ability made Tian Hao willingly become a ruthless recording machine.

After he finished taking notes, he gestured for Tao Jun to continue.

"At first, Hu Yingshao only extracted bodily fluids from the prostitutes, but soon he reached out to the waitresses who worked part-time at the club... According to his own account, the bodily fluids of virgins aroused him more."

When Tao Jun brought these things up, his expression didn't change much. After all, he had been watching them for almost three months and had long since gotten used to them.

"Not long after, Hu Yingshao found Wang Youcai and asked him to provide some virgins, but how many virgins would work at a club these days?"

If you want to find someone, you can only kidnap those respectable women.

Wang Youcai rejected Hu Yingshao, citing the high risk involved. Hu Yingshao then approached me, wanting me to help him find a virgin.

At this point, Tao Jun's face fell, because the source of all the chaos started here.

"I couldn't disobey Hu Yingshao's orders, so I asked Wang Sheng, the security manager, to handle the matter."

Who knew that when the other party heard that I asked him to kidnap an innocent girl, he immediately berated me and even threatened to report me and send me to jail.

"I thought he was joking at the time and didn't take it to heart."

Who knew that Wang Sheng would actually go through the surveillance footage and copy the video?

After Wang Youcai found out, he thought Wang Sheng was going to betray him, so he told me to find Wang Sheng's backup video and then get rid of Wang Sheng.

“I happened to meet a beggar who looked a lot like Wang Sheng at that time, so I went all out and had the beggar take Wang Sheng’s place and help Hu Yingshao kidnap people… You all know what happened next.”

After Tao Jun finished speaking, Tian Hao looked at Gao Bin standing to the side.

Seeing that the other person remained silent with a somber expression, Tian Hao had no choice but to ask on his behalf, "Where is Wang Sheng's body?"

"In a small grove of trees on the outskirts of the city, I had known Wang Sheng for quite some time. I didn't intend to kill him at the time, but his reaction was too intense, so I..."

"Answer my questions directly, and stop talking nonsense!"

Tian Hao interrupted Tao Jun's tearful plea: "Where are all those kidnapped victims?"

"...After being used by Hu Yingshao, most of them were sent to the club's trainers, who trained them for half a month before they became hostesses."

One person committed suicide, and his body was buried with Wang Sheng.

Furthermore, Hu Yingshao should still have two more in his possession; he will only send them to Wang Youcai after he has eliminated them.

Tao Jun explained the whole story clearly and thoroughly.
