Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Chapter 177 Li Shuwen's Struggle

"I didn't lie. At this point, I have no reason to lie. If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Jianmin." Li Shuwen denied it outright.

"Li Jianmin has already confessed that he entered Gao Lan's house with you. There were four of you in total, right?" Lin Ying stared intently at Li Shuwen. He knew that this man was persistent and wouldn't give up until he was completely cornered.

Li Shuwen's expression changed, revealing an incredulous look. His heart sank for no reason. Had Li Jianmin confessed everything so quickly? This damned bastard actually sold him out so soon? Wasn't he afraid of Brother Long's revenge?

Lin Ying didn't speak, but the oppressive aura emanating from her made Li Shuwen feel like he was suffocating.

Li Shuwen's expression changed again. He looked at Lin Ying in shock, his face full of disbelief: "You..." When did this woman become so powerful?

"To be honest, we can consider reducing your sentence, but we can only choose between you and Li Jianmin. Think it over carefully." After saying that, Lin Ying got up and pretended to leave.

Li Shuwen panicked and quickly said, "I'll tell you, but on one condition: this can only be told to you."

Lin Ying frowned, waved her hand, and Duan Fei left. The interrogation room door slowly closed, and Li Shuwen relaxed before beginning to recount the events of that night. Lin Ying's anger flared. Sure enough, four people had entered Gao Lan's room, and three of them had assaulted her. However, Li Shuwen claimed that it was Li Jianmin who had assaulted her, which only intensified Lin Ying's rage.

It seems that Li Shuwen was certain he couldn't find the two Burmese men, so he denied it outright. That night, he didn't make a move. In the end, who killed the two Burmese men, or Li Shuwen himself?

Li Shuwen was definitely not telling the truth about this.

"So, you beat up Gao Lan and took the 500,000 yuan that was in her house, but why did you leave that woman's watch behind?" Lin Ying finally asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time. She had thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand why they left that woman's watch behind.

"I don't know anything about this. I was only responsible for taking two Burmese men in to do the work and taking the 500,000. I didn't do anything else."

Lin Ying was startled and quickly asked, "You mean you didn't take the valuables from Gao Lan's house?" If it wasn't Li Shuwen who took them, then who was it? Li Jianmin? Or someone sent by Liu Yixiong? In her opinion, this could only have been done by Wang Dalong's people, because Liu Yixiong's people were, after all, police officers and it was inconvenient for them to do this. If it was Liu Yixiong's people who did it, then the situation would be completely different; this would be a major case of collusion between the police and criminals.

"No, I only took the 500,000, and I only confessed to taking the 500,000."

"Who told you to only take 500,000?" Lin Ying stared intently at Li Shuwen, knowing that the other party still harbored a sliver of hope for Wang Dalong.

Li Shuwen knew the interrogation room was being recorded. He struggled internally. Brother Long was incredibly powerful; if he betrayed him, Brother Long would surely try to silence him. What should he do? Although he really wanted to see Du Juan and ask her directly about what happened back then, he knew perfectly well how powerful Brother Long was. He could even get death row inmates released; what chance did Brother Long have, who hadn't even been convicted yet?

Thinking of this, Li Shuwen shook his head: "No one told me to do this; I contacted Li Jianmin myself."

"You yourself?" Lin Ying sneered. It seemed that Li Shuwen really wasn't prepared to completely confront her.

"Li Shuwen, think carefully about who ordered you to lead the men to kill County Magistrate Gao Lan. This is very important. If there is no one, you are the principal offender. Think carefully before you answer." Lin Ying's words made Li Shuwen's heart skip a beat. He was not ignorant of the law. He had killed people in the past, so of course he knew that the sentencing of the principal offender and the accomplice were completely different.

However, he killed someone back then, and he was going to die anyway. But if Du Juan hadn't died, could the person he killed have been considered a wrongful execution? He looked at Lin Ying, about to ask, but Lin Ying stopped him: "Regarding County Magistrate Gao Lan's case, I hope you think it through before you answer. I'll say it again: your silence doesn't mean others won't speak. And I can tell you clearly that those two Burmese men will be arrested and brought to justice soon."

Li Shuwen was startled and looked at Lin Ying with suspicion. What did that mean? They sent people to arrest those two Burmese men? How could that be? They had already fled the country and gone to the Golden Triangle, a lawless area. Who could possibly bring people back from there to scare him?

"Li Shuwen, whether I'm trying to scare you or not, you can think about it carefully. Before long, you won't have another chance. Once the two murderers are brought to justice, your value will be almost zero. Think it through. If you don't confess now, there will only be one path for you in the future. If you want to see Du Juan, you'd better tell the truth. If you continue to be dishonest, we can only assume that you are giving a false testimony. You know the consequences yourself."

Li Shuwen was startled again, and his gaze towards Lin Ying flickered. Did he kill someone? Of course... he did! He didn't do it? Of course... he did! If he hadn't done it, Gao Lan wouldn't have died so quickly. At that time, he was just trying to make sure Gao Lan died thoroughly.

Li Shuwen struggled internally, his expression shifting between light and shadow, a battle raging within him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Ying slowly got up. She knew that Wang Dahu's arrest had put a lot of pressure on Li Jianmin and Li Shuwen. Both of them definitely wanted to confess. However, Li Jianmin was more cunning, while Li Shuwen was more shrewd.

Given more time, Wang Dahu will eventually give up, and Li Jianmin will definitely confess everything.

Lin Ying was startled. She glanced at Duan Fei, her brows furrowing slightly, and a smirk playing on her lips. Someone like Wang Dahu would commit suicide? Someone so wicked would commit suicide? You're kidding me!

"Is he dead?"

"No, he requested medical parole, saying it was his right." Xie Zhijun looked at Lin Ying, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Power? Does someone like him deserve the power to be granted medical parole? Go ask him if Cui An had such a power when he took those lives?" The Cui brothers were beaten to death, and the police were present at the time, so Wang Dahu knew everything about that incident.

Xie Zhijun was startled and turned to leave. He arrived at the room where Wang Dahu was being held, pushed open the door, looked up, and his expression instantly changed: "Wang Dahu, what do you want?"

"Go to hell! You all, go to hell!"
