Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

"For someone like you who intentionally killed someone, do you know the difference between confessing and being lenient and not confessing?"

Wang Zhaokai blew away the tea leaves as he spoke, and it seemed that he was not interrogating Zhang Chao, but was just speaking casually for him to hear.

"Haha, the difference is that if you resist to the end, you may be sentenced to immediate execution... If you cooperate well and confess voluntarily... you may have a chance of suspended sentence."

Wang Zhaokai's movements seemed very casual, as if the cup of tea foam in his hand was much more important than the suspect in front of him.

Zhang Chao looked up at Wang Ruokai from time to time and found that the other party was not looking at him at all, but was just sipping tea.

Of course, it is not a good tea. The smell of the tea leaves is just average, but Zhang Chao feels very stressed now.

Just as Wang Zhaokai said, there is of course a big difference between confessing and not confessing. One is leniency for those who confess, and the other is severity for those who resist.

In fact, Zhang Chao was arrested almost every once in a while over the years.

I have extensive experience in dealing with the police and have been through many interrogations.

So there is a principle that you should answer whatever the police ask you, and if it is not related to the case, just say you don’t know.

In fact, just talk about whatever case you have caught, and don't talk about other cases or other things.

Zhang Chao had no experience when he was caught for the first time. He was caught for stealing an electric bike.

The electric bike was originally a second-hand one and was not worth much money, so all that could be dealt with was a fine and detention.

However, during the interrogation, Zhang Chao was extremely nervous, and after the police used some tricks, he confessed that he had stolen two more electric bikes before.

Originally, an electric bike only costs a few hundred dollars, and the standards for filing a case are rather far-fetched, but three electric bikes are a different matter.

Originally, Zhang Chao wanted to explain everything he had done, get a complete confession and be lenient with his sentence, and put a goodbye to his past. After the police handled the matter this time, he would be able to turn over a new leaf and start a new life.

However, what awaited him was that the three electric bikes were worth more than 3000 yuan, so the sentencing standard was raised. He was originally sentenced to administrative detention and a fine, but he ended up staying in prison for 6 months.

From then on, Zhang Chao went in to receive further training and learned a lot of experience from some of the veterans there.

After he was released, he was arrested twice again, but he refused to say anything no matter what was asked.

After that, he was caught more and more often and became a veteran.

Moreover, I didn't understand the law and had no idea what theft was or what robbery was.

Later I figured it out, learned my lesson, and tried to steal as much as possible every time.

For example, taking a wallet from someone's pocket on the street.

No matter how much money or valuables are inside a wallet, it is still considered stealing and the crime is theft.

However, if you are caught by the owner in the process of stealing a wallet and you struggle with the owner, or if you still want to steal the wallet during the struggle, then it is not theft but robbery.

This is generally why many experienced thieves stop after being discovered.

If theft is not discovered, it is theft, because the victim is the thief. If he does not know when his wallet was stolen, he has no intuition.

Robbery is different. If the theft is minor, the punishment is just education. If the amount stolen is large, the sentence is just two days in jail. Generally, it is not enough for criminal punishment.

But the crime of theft is different. Even if you steal one dollar, it is robbery and you will go to jail.

Thanks Zhang Chao I used to know a friend who was also a gangster and often did sneaky things. He was also very smart and each time he stole very little.

Moreover, he is a little bully and a gangster. Sometimes, even if people know that their things have been stolen by him, they still dare not resist. After all, he is still hanging around there after being locked up for a few days. Sometimes, it is difficult for the police to deal with such things as retaliating against you.

Later, people came up with a plan.

This guy often asks for money from these half-grown kids under the pretext of collecting protection fees for minors.

As a result, a parent put 3000 yuan on his child each time and asked the gangster to come and ask for the money.

After a few times when he was out of money, the kid said that he had money at home and asked the gangster to go with him to his house to get money.

As a result, the gangster went there, but he didn't expect that the boy's parents had installed two cameras at home, which clearly recorded the whole process of the gangster following the child to withdraw money.

Although the money wasn't much each time, only 3000 yuan each time, I went there four times in total.

With surveillance footage as evidence, the parents took the gangster directly to court.

The crime he committed was burglary, multiple times!

Home robbery is a serious provision of the crime of robbery and is punishable severely. Moreover, if a minor is coerced to commit robbery, it is an aggravated offense.

In the end, the total amount was only about 1 yuan but less than 2 yuan, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a two-year reprieve.

Now, once you get in, there is basically no possibility of getting out.

When he gets out, he will be in his seventies or eighties. What bad things can he do?

So Zhang Chao has experienced all these things, and he knows that he has been in this industry for such a long time, and he is also very clear about what he can do and what he cannot do.

As for dealing with the police, he was also very familiar with some of the common tactics used by the police during interrogations.

For example, Wang Zhaokai, who was sitting in front of him, seemed careless and didn't care about him at all. He seemed to be drinking tea quietly, but in fact, he should still be very concerned about his interrogation.

But now it depends on whether I can endure it or the other party can endure it.

If it were in the past, Zhang Chao would not care about anything and would just sit there. He would know nothing anyway and would talk about it after the police brought the evidence.

But this case has its own particularity, because this time Zhang Chao did not commit theft or robbery, but murder.

Because in a murder case, the difference between confessing and not confessing is just as Wang Zhaohai said.

If he confesses, he may indeed be sentenced to suspended death penalty or even life imprisonment. For example, there are precedents for such sentencing in the case of manslaughter.

Ever since Zhang Chao killed Wang Lili, the other party has been searching the Internet for recent murder case verdicts.

Therefore, Zhang Chao knew something about the verdicts of these cases, especially regarding his own situation, he also had some guesses.

If he does not confess, he may be sentenced to death and executed immediately. Of course, it is impossible to execute him immediately. If he is confirmed to be the murderer, he will be executed, but he still needs to wait for the Supreme Court to review it.

This review process will take at least one or two months.

What Zhang Chao couldn't decide was whether the police had any evidence against him. (End of this chapter)
