Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 630 Final Conversation

Hao Ji's behavior is a matter of opinion. To many bystanders, they would think that he is right. Everyone hates people who owe money and don't pay it back, and they don't deserve sympathy even if they die.

As Hao Ji himself said, he deserved to die.

But in fact, compared with money, life is much more precious, this is an unchanging principle.

If the lender encounters a major change because the debtor fails to repay the money, that is another matter, but the general principles remain unchanged.

This is the nature of the world. Even if a bad person is despised by the whole nation, he is still not sentenced to death under the law. If the rules are easily changed, a big mess will occur and the disadvantages will far outweigh the advantages.

Those who owe money and fail to repay it may be sentenced to up to seven years in prison if the circumstances are particularly serious. However, Hao Ji sentenced them to death himself, with the motive of making money for himself.

Did Hao Ji go too far? Very far. Just as Chen Yi had thought before, after killing someone, it was difficult for him to have mercy on others.

Chen Yi didn't comment on anything and asked, "After Yunjie was established, have you ever worked there again?"

Hao Ji: "I said, I will only answer about 20 years ago."

He is not stupid. If he did it, then it was Zhong Liyun who did it, right?
Chen Yi realized that this might be one of the reasons why Yunjie Group could develop so rapidly.

As they and their companies grew, Zhong Liyun and Ji Hao, after the age of 30, certainly received a lot of orders, some of which might be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

If you have a bolder imagination, you may be able to cooperate with banks, especially non-state-owned private banks. Some bosses are stubborn and would rather go in than give up their money.

"Now, is Team Leader Chen satisfied? Now that we know everything we need to know, can we stop the investigation?" Hao Ji asked.

Chen Yi needed time to absorb the information and also time to think, so he didn't speak for a while.

While he was thinking, Hao Ji took two steps back.

Chen Yi had been paying attention to his movements and immediately said, "Hao Ji, come back with me."

Hao Ji continued to retreat.

Chen Yi's face changed and he stepped forward: "Hao Ji..."

Before he finished speaking, Hao Ji suddenly turned around and rushed towards the cliff, laughing freely: "Ji Hao died here. I have used his identity for more than ten years. Now it's time to give it back to him."

Almost at the same time, Chen Yi shot out like an arrow from a bow, his movements as fast as a cheetah hunting.

When he was talking to Hao Ji just now, he had been moving forward quietly, his movements were light and slow, and the other party should not have noticed.

The distance between the two sides is not that far anymore.

On the edge of the cliff, Hao Ji leaped into the air and embraced the sky. His body paused in the air for a short moment. At a height of a thousand meters, if he fell down, he would be smashed to pieces. There were no so many crooked trees to catch him.

Chen Yi strode forward, and immediately slowed down to prevent inertia before reaching the edge of the cliff, and then reached out and grabbed Hao Ji's left arm.

Hao Ji's flying body came to an abrupt stop and hit the rocks on the edge of the cliff like a pendulum, making a dull sound.

Chen Yi's arm was also bruised, with capillaries ruptured and blood oozing out.

Hao Ji, who was in mid-air, looked up and met Chen Yi's eyes. He didn't expect the other party to react so quickly and actually catch him: "Officer Chen, it's meaningless for you to save me. I have enough lives to be sentenced to death. It's death either way. What's the difference?"

Chen Yi's right arm veins popped up, and he said coldly: "These are two different things! Come up quickly!"

If Hao Ji fell, he would become the second suspect to die in front of him. He didn't want to see this happen. Besides, Hao Ji was not so vicious that he was worth saving.

At least he didn't hurt innocent people.

If it were the two scumbags who killed Hao Ji's entire family, Chen Yi might not be so kind.

"Come up!" Chen Yi shouted angrily, supporting the weight of an adult with one hand, but he couldn't keep it up for long.

Hao Ji smiled. He raised his right hand, which was still movable, and pulled out a knife from his body.

When Chen Yi saw the knife, his expression suddenly changed.

"Hao Ji!"

Hao Ji said, "Officer Chen, I won't let Brother Yun take any risk. What if you hypnotize me? I heard that hypnotists are pretty good nowadays, so... it's better to die. Let go!"

Chen Yi repeated: "Come up! Come up first and we'll talk!"

He tried to use force, but Hao Ji held the rock wall tightly with his body.

Hao Ji: "If you don't let go, I'll chop your hand off!"

Chen Yi stared at him without saying anything.

Hao Ji snorted coldly and decisively chopped at Chen Yi's hand, but Chen Yi didn't even blink.

The blade stopped abruptly on Chen Yi's skin. Hao Ji's eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that this guy would be so courageous.

He won't hurt Chen Yi.

Zhong Liyun refused to allow it. He had no grudge against Chen Yi and there was no point in cutting off the other's hand. Besides, he felt very good about the policeman.

"Okay, then I can only..." Hao Ji turned the knife around and pointed it at his own neck.

In this situation, Chen Yi had no way of taking the knife from Hao Ji's hand.

"Wait!" Chen Yi shouted, "Drop the knife and follow me. As long as he doesn't kill anyone, I promise not to investigate further!"

Hao Ji committed suicide for Zhong Liyun. He knew very well that he was the biggest flaw. As long as he was alive, Zhong Liyun would be in danger.

On the contrary, if I die, the police will have nothing to investigate.

If there was only forced transaction, even if it was still happening, Chen Yi could pretend that nothing had happened. After all, if Hao Ji was dead, it would be very unlikely to find out the facts of Zhong Liyun's crime.

In this case, it would be better to make a promise and let Hao Ji live.

Sure enough, Hao Ji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and Chen Yi continued: "I guarantee it with my character."

Hao Ji thought about it for two seconds, but still felt that it was not very reliable. Only if one died would there be zero risk. No matter how powerful Chen Yi was, he was not the only one who had the final say in the police system.

He raised the knife and aimed it at his neck.

"You..." Chen Yi sensed Hao Ji's determination, and he seemed to be able to see the other's arteries burst.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from behind. Chen Yi subconsciously turned around and saw Zhong Liyun coming at some point and rushing to the edge of the cliff.

Chen Yi was surprised, but not too surprised. Zhong Liyun was a very smart man and knew Hao Ji very well. He should have found out or guessed what the latter was trying to do.

"Ji Hao! Get up here!" Zhong Liyun was furious and immediately lay down next to Chen Yi to help relieve the pressure. "If you dare to commit suicide, I will never forgive you!"

The appearance of Zhong Liyun caught Hao Ji off guard, and his determination to die heroically was also disrupted. He listened to Zhong Liyun's words very much, and after hesitating for a moment, his right hand slowly dropped.

At the same time, the body also left the rock wall.

The two men pulled Hao Ji up and far away from the edge of the cliff. Chen Yi sat down in the center to prevent Hao Ji from jumping off the cliff for the second time.

Snapped!
Zhong Liyun was very angry. He slapped Hao Ji in the face, snatched the knife from his hand and threw it off the cliff.

Hao Ji sat there with his head down, silent, with red marks already appearing on his face.

"Ji Hao! What do you want to do? Huh?!" Zhong Liyun said angrily.

Hao Ji said softly: "Brother Yun, my name is Hao Ji."

Zhong Liyun turned to look at Chen Yi who was sitting there lighting a cigarette, and realized that Hao Ji must have told a lot of things, and then jumped off the cliff out of fear of punishment, wanting to put an end to everything with his life, but Chen Yi noticed it in advance and saved him.

Unfortunately, Hao Ji was well prepared. If I hadn't arrived in time, Hao Ji would definitely have died.

Seeing this, Zhong Liyun was silent for a moment, then sat down as well. The three of them formed a triangle and remained silent.

"Have you told me about my mother's affairs?" Zhong Liyun suddenly spoke after an unknown amount of time.

Hearing this, Hao Ji raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean your mother? I don't know."

As he spoke, he kept winking at Zhong Liyun.

Chen Yi looked over. Zhong Liyun ignored Hao Ji and said to himself, "My mother came to see me once, and I gave her four million, but she broke one of her hands."

"I beat him! I beat him! It has nothing to do with Brother Yun!" Hao Ji learned to answer quickly and raised his hand, afraid that Chen Yi would not believe him: "It was really me who beat him. That woman is a gold digger. She married Brother Yun's father because she was attracted by his money. When Brother Yun's father ran away after he ran out of money, she didn't care whether Brother Yun lived or died!

Later, when Brother Yun became rich, she came back to ask for money for Brother Yun's retirement. She asked for 100 million yuan. Is that unreasonable?"

Chen Yi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Four million for one hand, the price is not low."

Abandoning a drug-addicted husband is understandable, but abandoning a child is a little unacceptable. He had thought about this problem before, and could only explain it with human nature: some people are not worthy of being a mother.

"Are you still taking orders now?" Chen Yi asked.

Zhong Liyun nodded: "Occasionally, you should be able to imagine the face of the debtor. It's useless for the court to intervene, and it's useless to enforce it. If you want these bastards to take out the money, you need to use unconventional means."

Hao Ji interrupted: "I did it! I did it! There was a woman who owed someone three million. When faced with the court's enforcement, she shamelessly said that she could not pay it back and only had 30,000 yuan, not a penny more.

When she said this, she was wearing a bracelet worth 100,000 yuan. The court wanted to take the bracelet away, but she said it was given to her by someone else and smashed it on the spot.

Chen Yi smoked a cigarette: "Is the money coming back?"

Hao Ji was happy: "Of course I'm going to return it. It's 3.6 million including principal and interest."

Chen Yi: "Didn't you call the police?"

Hao Ji: "She has a child."

Chen Yi frowned.

Hao Ji said quickly: "It was just a threat, he didn't do anything to her child. Her child was using the best children's watch, but the lender failed in business and sold his house. Isn't this kind of person disgusting?"

Chen Yi glanced at him and said, "How do you know her child is using the best watch?"

Hao Ji said as a matter of course: "You can't just scare people with words, I have to take a closer look at this child... and take some photos by the way."

Chen Yi didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, illegal imprisonment plus..."

"Officer Chen!" Hao Ji was anxious. "You can't go back on your promise to me! I did all this!"

He used the word "you", probably because he had just had a brush with death. Even if he was not afraid of death, he had a mentality of surviving a disaster and was grateful to Chen Yi.

Being alive is always better than being dead, except in those situations where life is worse than death, like the two guys who were released from prison.

Zhong Liyun did not refute. Hao Ji used his life to protect himself from being implicated. How could he not appreciate it?

Being grateful is the greatest respect for Hao Ji.

"Okay." Chen Yi prepared to get up and take Hao Ji away.

"Wait a minute." Zhong Liyun interrupted him, "Chen Xun, I know this question may be useless, but I still want to try, can you let Hao Ji go?"

Chen Yi did not answer, but talked about another case: "There was a guy in Yangcheng who was framed by his non-biological brother for rape and was imprisoned for attempting to take away his company. His father was killed, his savior was killed, and he himself was almost killed. After I got my revenge, I still arrested him.

I don’t have a lot of options when I wear this outfit, and it’s hard to choose.”

Zhong Liyun asked: "How long was the sentence?"

Chen Yi: “Eight years.”

Zhong Liyun: "That's not bad. He should be able to be released soon through sentence reduction."

After saying that, he looked at Hao Ji and asked, "Chen Xun, if his case had not been filed and there was no single killing, would you have let him go?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Of course, the statute of limitations has passed, so there is no need for me to deliberately make things difficult. I will not let the case go to the procuratorate, and the past is over.

Unfortunately, there is no if. The case has been filed. He has other lives on his hands. Even if I am not a police officer, I cannot turn a blind eye. Those who owe money are hateful, but you have no right to deprive them of their lives. "

Hao Ji corrected: "It's me. I don't have the power. It has nothing to do with Brother Yun."

Chen Yi turned his head and said, "He will be punished for the crime of harboring a criminal."

Hao Ji was startled and was about to speak, but Chen Yi interrupted him: "Alright, I will do what I promised you. Besides, without your confession, Zhong Liyun is safe. Come with me."

Only then did Hao Ji feel relieved and stood up.

Chen Yi carried handcuffs with him and stepped forward to clamp Hao Ji's wrist. Since then, the missing child in the family murder case was caught, and the "knife" in Zhong Liyun's hand was caught.

In fact, Chen Yi was somewhat glad that Hao Ji defended Zhong Liyun so much. Otherwise, he didn't know how to deal with Zhong Liyun, and he himself didn't know what decision he would make in the end.

Being an accomplice to murder, illegal imprisonment, harboring a murderer... there is a high probability that there will also be assault and abuse. Excluding those cases where the statute of limitations has expired, if the case is really investigated, Zhong Liyun may still go to jail.

Even if Zhong Liyun goes to jail, there may be poor children in some corners of the country who should have received financial assistance but will continue to live without an education and continue to suffer from hunger.

Even though Zhong Liyun didn't get in, perhaps more schools will be built in the future.

There is also the issue of drug prohibition.

These are the points that Chen Yi is struggling with. He really doesn’t know how to deal with them correctly, whether to lean towards the law or towards justice.

People like Zhong Liyun are only a very small minority. The law serves the majority of people. To be honest, he doesn't want to encounter this very small group.

The three of them walked down the mountain, and Chen Yi and Zhong Liyun got into their respective cars.

Zhong Liyun left first, and he couldn't change anything.

Watching the car's taillights gradually disappear, Chen Yi took out his cell phone and called He Shixin.

"Team Chen."

"Old He, notify the Chongcheng police that Hao Ji has been found. Also notify the Shanhai branch that there is a new case that needs to be handled."

When is new: "Understood."

The vehicle started and Hao Ji, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was handcuffed. Although he was arrested, he was in a good mood and even turned on the song he wanted to listen to.

For Hao Ji, he had died twenty years ago, and it was well earned that he could enjoy freedom for so long.

The most important thing is that Zhong Liyun is safe.

"Officer Chen, are you married?"

……

"Officer Chen, do you have a child?"

……

"Officer Chen, would you like a cigarette?"

……

"Officer Chen, slow down, it's a bit bumpy."

……

"Officer Chen, you and my Brother Yun are really alike. Why don't you two become sworn brothers? He is definitely someone who will stand by you through thick and thin."

……

"Officer Chen, if I'm going to be executed, can you come and carry out the execution? I think dying in your hands is better than dying in the hands of others."

……

"Why are not you talking?"

Chen Yi reached out to adjust the center console and played Jay Chou's "Quiet".

Hao Ji didn't understand, so he started humming, his voice getting louder and louder. When this song was first released, he and Brother Yun were creating a new era of their own.

This era has no end.
