You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 225 Testimony!

Sui County.

Inside the interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Division.

Jin Chao was held in a tiger chair, his head hanging down, his eyes darting around.

He didn't look up until the interrogation table was tapped.

"What is your name?"

Jin Chao swallowed hard and looked around at his surroundings.

There were six people in the interrogation room. A man and a woman sat behind the table opposite each other, holding documents and pens.

Two younger detectives stood behind the door, seemingly trying to barricade it and prevent anyone from entering.

Right in front of him, a short, unshaven detective was staring at him menacingly.

Jin Chao ignored him and focused his attention on the tall, young criminal police officer.

“Jin Chao, you should have heard what I said inside the karaoke bar. We are from An'nan City and Guangyuan City. You should know better than us why we are here.”

When the other person called out his name, Jin Chao stopped struggling and nodded heavily.

"I know."

"Will you confess or not?"

"If I don't confess, how can I live?"

"What do you think?"

Jin Chao bit his lip, clicked his tongue, and said, "You guys acted too fast. I've only been out for two months."

"It's alright, your accomplices Chen Zhen and Du Jiang will be waiting for you. They won't let you walk alone on the road to the underworld!"

"Ha!" Jin Chao chuckled. "Looks like they've all been arrested."

Sun Peng snapped, "Get to the point! Don't give us any tangents!"

Jin Chao nodded: "At the end of last year, when I was serving my sentence in prison, I was thinking about doing something big when I got out. It wasn't for any other reason than that I felt it was unfair!"

Yang Jinwen asked, "So you thought about killing Zhou Qiuju and Liao Kai, and felt that she was the one who ruined you?"

"It's not that she harmed me; after all, I was the one who slept with her first."

"Then why did you kill her and her husband?"

Jin Chao pursed his lips and replied, "I was drinking, and they egged me on. I got emotional and went to kill someone."

"who are they?"

"Chen Zhen, Du Yang, Du Jiang, and Chen Zhen's brother-in-law, we were drinking at Chen Zhen's brother-in-law's house that night. We drank too much, and when we talked about this, I couldn't help but say it."

"You led the charge?"

"Yes."

"Did you also kill Zhou Qiuju and Liao Kai?"

"Yes!"

"Did you cut off his head?"

"It's me too!"

This was consistent with the testimonies of Chen Zhen and Du Jiang. Yang Jinwen continued to ask, "What did you do after that?"

"Then we met that woman from the South City Department Store. Chen Zhen and I kidnapped her and took her to the woods above the highway, where we killed her."

But I didn't kill this woman; Chen Zhen did it. He's the one who chopped off her head.

Sitting behind the interrogation table, Cai Ting turned a page of documents, where the statements about Chen Zhen were inconsistent.

Chen Zhen testified that Jin Chao was the killer, and he was just watching from the sidelines.

Yang Jinwen was present when Chen Zhen was interrogated, and immediately asked, "Is it you, or Chen Zhen?"

Jin Chao understood the implication: "Chen Zhen said I did it?"

Yang Jinwen didn't say anything, but just stared at him coldly.

"Well, knowing I was going to run away, they put all the blame on me. I definitely didn't kill that woman."

"You go on."

"After the head was cut off, Chen Zhen and I found some tree branches to cover the body and threw the head into the culvert next to the highway."

Then came the two people killed in the sports park after the New Year. Du Yang struck first; he stabbed the man to death, and we dragged the woman to the public restroom…”

Jin Chao looked listless, as if he didn't want to continue explaining.

In fact, Yang Jinwen, Maozi, Yao Weihua, and Cai Ting also did not want to continue the trial.

They reviewed the details of the major murder case that occurred two months ago, in which five people were killed, as well as the trial and confessions of the perpetrators, over and over again.

Every time I watch it, I feel it's extremely cruel and I feel extremely uncomfortable.

But with Jin Chao, the main culprit, arrested, they had to find out more about the case.

Jin Chao confessed to the murder at the sports park for more than two hours.

Then there's the matter of his escape.

“We killed someone and didn’t even dispose of the body. The police will definitely investigate. I know they will find out about us sooner or later. We can’t hide the fact that we killed someone.”

I told Chen Zhen and the others to run, but they were reluctant to leave, so I had to run by myself.

I told them to go north, but actually I planned to run south and hide in Yuncheng for a while.

I arrived at a place called Banchang Town, and saw a guy who looked a lot like me, so I killed him.

When talking about cases in his jurisdiction, Sun Peng put one hand on his hip and pointed at him with the other.

"How was he killed? Tell me the details!"

"I followed him on my motorcycle and asked him for directions. He told me the way to Cangshui County, and I said I could give him a ride. He agreed."

In a secluded place, I pretended that my motorcycle was broken and that something had punctured the tire, so he got off the motorcycle to help me check it.

While he wasn't paying attention, I picked up a stone and smashed it on the back of his head, knocking him unconscious. Then I stabbed him three times with a knife, took his ID card and household registration book, and dragged the body and the basket tied to the back of the motorcycle to the ditch on the road.

Jin Chao paused, then continued, "Now that I have a new identity, the police shouldn't be able to find me. I figured I shouldn't go too far, and I'd stay in Hanzhong City for a while. So I came to Suixian County and rented a house..."

At this point, he looked at Yang Jinwen: "The person you shot is Tao Zhenggang. He lives next door to me. He's the one who introduced me to work at Jinfuli."

"I originally intended to live under the identity of Wan Dehai. If you couldn't find me, I would stop killing and become a good person..."

"You son of a bitch!"

Sun Peng wanted nothing more than to hit him: "Good guy? Do you even know what kind of family Wan Dehai, the guy you killed, is like?"

Jin Chao glanced at him and said, "That's none of my business. Everyone has their own fate."

Seeing that he didn't care at all, Sun Peng's blood pressure rose, and he cursed angrily, "Fuck your mother! You bastard!"

Yang Jinwen raised his hand and asked, "Chen Zhen confessed that you were carrying a gun when you fled. Where is that gun?"

Upon hearing the question, Jin Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and answered softly, "It's lost."

"Where did you put it?"

"On the highway to Suixian County, I just left it under a cliff."

Why throw it away?

“It’s inconvenient to carry it around, and besides, I don’t plan to continue killing people.”

"Which cliff did you lose it on? How many kilometers is it from Suixian County?"

"I forgot."

lie!

Yang Jinwen could clearly tell he was lying!

……

The interrogation continued late into the night. When asked about the whereabouts of the double-barreled shotgun, Jin Chao insisted that it was lost and refused to tell the truth.

Jin Chao's crimes in An'nan City and Guangyuan City could not be committed in the Suixian County Detention Center, so Yang Jinwen contacted the An'nan City Public Security Bureau to prepare to detain him back at dawn.

The six of them took turns guarding the interrogation room, preventing anyone from getting close.

At four o'clock in the morning, Yang Jinwen and Maozi replaced Sun Peng and Yuan Hao, and told them to go to the guesthouse to rest and prepare to set off at dawn.

When Yang Jinwen went in, Jin Chao was still awake.

He couldn't sleep. He was already overweight, and the tiger chair had limited space. His whole body ached terribly, and he couldn't move his hands or feet at all.

Yang Jinwen glanced at him, then sat comfortably in the large chair with Maozi.

The cat yawned as it put its legs on the interrogation table.

Jin Chao said, "I need to use the restroom."

Yang Jinwen didn't even look at him: "Bear with it!"

"Officer Yang, you can't do this! I have basic human rights..."

"You don't have it here!"

Jin Chao clicked his tongue: "Officer Yang, do you know who that scarred guy you messed with at the Jinfuli Karaoke last night is?"

Yang Jinwen remained silent.

"His real name is Xu Lei. He's a ruthless character with blood on his hands. If you're capable, arrest him too."

Jin Chao continued, "Officer Yang, to be honest, we people have no money and no power. Unlike Scarface, who has a lot of money and dozens of men under his command, the police can't do anything to him."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "What you said makes sense."

"If you arrest him, you'll definitely be able to find out a lot of things."

"Do you know what he has done?"

"I only heard Tao Zhenggang mention it once, saying that Scarface threw two women who sold silver into the mountains, and that the two women stole money from the nightclub."

"anything else?"

"You'll have to look it up yourself."

Yang Jinwen sneered: "You're planning to report me?"

Jin Chao's eyes were intense: "Do I have that opportunity?"

"No."

A bucket of cold water was poured on him, and Jin Chao pursed his lips and continued, "Officer Yang, I can tell you're a capable person, more capable than other police officers, so I'll just tell you the truth."

I lied before. Actually, I gave the gun to Scarface!

Yang Jinwen squinted and said "Oh". He had only slept for a few hours and was so tired that he looked very listless.

Jin Chao said, "Don't you want to know what he wants to do with my gun?"

"Not interested in."

“I have a feeling that Scarface will definitely do something. He’s definitely going to kill someone, and your police will never be able to find out.”

Yang Jinwen straightened up, stared at him, and asked, "Have you said enough?"

"I……"

"Jin Chao, are you trying to make a fool of me? Let me tell you, don't get your hopes up. We're just here to arrest you. What you did has nothing to do with anyone else."

“How could that be!” Jin Chao argued.

At this moment, the interrogation room door opened, and Yao Weihua and Cai Ting walked in.

"Team Leader Yang."

Yang Jinwen didn't even get up from his chair, he just nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yao Weihua yawned, glanced at Jin Chao, and then handed the item wrapped in a long blue towel to Yang Jinwen.

Yang Jinwen took the towel, opened it, and inside was a double-barreled shotgun.

Upon seeing the gun, Jin Chao's shoulders slumped, and he lowered his head heavily.

Yang Jinwen used a towel as a cushion to hold the gun in his hand and sneered, "Jin Chao, didn't you give the gun to Scarface? Then how did this gun end up under the sink in your rented room?"
