Hou Liangping arrested a hawkish general, and his father-in-law panicked

"What good things did you and Hou Liangping do?"

"He took credit for it with me yesterday."

At this time, Hou Liangping appeared in front of Ji Changming with high spirits.

"Ji Jian, why are you here?"

"You showed off twice yesterday, shouldn't I come and see?"

The three of them walked into the observation room outside the interrogation room, one in front and one behind.

On the other side of the one-way glass, the so-called "big fish" was sitting upright on the interrogation chair.

He was wearing an inconspicuous jacket, had an upright figure and sat with a pine-like posture.

The pale light in the interrogation room shone on his face, outlining his features as if they were chiseled by a knife.

He did not show any sign of depression or panic due to being imprisoned. Instead, he looked at every corner of the interrogation room calmly with a pair of sharp eyes like a hawk, like a master.

That's not the look a suspect should have; it's a scrutiny, an assessment.

"did you see it?"

Hou Liangping lowered his voice and pointed excitedly at the person behind the glass.

"That's him! He's been motionless and silent for fifteen hours since he came in. What kind of mental toughness is that? He's definitely a giant crocodile who's seen a lot of things!"

Ji Changming's eyes were fixed on the man, and his heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

This man does not have the slickness of a corrupt official or the brutality of a bandit. Instead, he has a kind of majesty that makes people's heart flutter.

That is the kind of aura that can only be developed by being in a high position for a long time and having the power of life and death.

"How's the investigation going? Who is he?"

Ji Changming asked in a deep voice.

"Nothing. There's nothing on him, and the fingerprint database doesn't match. It just appeared out of nowhere."

Hou Liangping was a little discouraged, but he immediately cheered up.

"But, Inspector Ji, Director Chen, this isn't important! What's important is that when I arrested him, the car he was driving had close ties with Ding Yizhen!"

"As long as we pry open his mouth, we can uncover the entire Handong officialdom with our own hands!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and he could already see himself becoming successful and standing in the spotlight.

Chen Hai was frightened when he heard this and secretly glanced at Ji Changming.

Ji Changming remained silent, but his expression became increasingly solemn, as if dark clouds were looming over the city.

Hou Liangping ignored the reactions of the two leaders. His thinking had already entered a paranoid dead end.

He firmly believed that he had grasped the snake's weak spot, and as long as he squeezed it hard, the entire venomous snake would be unable to move.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have plenty of ways to make him talk. You and Chen Hai, don't interfere. Give me three days, and I promise to make him explain everything about his ancestors!"

Ji Changming didn't look at Hou Liangping, his eyes were still fixed on the man behind the glass.

The man noticed the movement in the observation room, slowly raised his head, and cast his eyes precisely at the one-way glass.

Although there was a layer of glass between them, Ji Changming felt that the gaze penetrated all obstacles.

What kind of look was that?

Cold, majestic, quiet, and...

mercy?

At this time, Ji Changming was in a state of confusion. He was always thinking about the matter of General Zhao Yuanchao, and he was in no mood to care about other things.

"good very good."

"Liangping, since you are so confident, then... let's get started."

Hou Liangping was greatly encouraged.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

"Don't worry, teacher! Before dawn, I promise to make him vomit out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the interrogation room with big strides. His back was filled with fearless sharpness, and he stabbed the closed door with a sword drawn from its sheath without hesitation.

"Liangping, slow down."

Chen Hai's voice was deep, "You really didn't ask a single word about the other party's identity?"

"I asked, but he didn't tell me."

Hou Liangping waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. When it comes to us, even the toughest bones have to speak up. I want to see how long he can hold out. If this case is handled, the whole of Handong will tremble!"

The desire to make a contribution was like a fire burning fiercely in Hou Liangping's chest.

He could already imagine the scene of himself prying open the mouth of this mysterious figure, uncovering a shocking case involving Li Dakang, Ding Yizhen, and the affairs of Dafeng Factory, and then reporting to his superiors in a grand manner.

In the interrogation room, the suspect was not fidgeting or dejected as he had imagined.

The man known as "Big Fish" was sitting upright in the interrogation chair.

He looked to be about fifty years old and was wearing a dark, well-tailored casual suit without any wrinkles.

His back was straight as a javelin, and his hands were casually placed on his knees. He was not handcuffed or wearing any restraints.

A cup of hot tea was placed on the table in front of him, emitting curls of steam.

He didn't drink, but just sat quietly, his eyes looking straight ahead, examining the room and everything outside through the wall.

That's not the look a prisoner should have.

That is the kind of calmness and majesty that only those who have been in a high position for a long time have, and they control everything.

Chen Hai's heart sank suddenly.

He turned his head and looked at the other end of the corridor outside the interrogation room, where two men with unfamiliar faces were standing.

They were also dressed in casual clothes and leaned against the wall seemingly casually, but their eyes were as sharp as hawks, vigilantly scanning every person who passed by.

They were not ordinary bodyguards; they were soldiers with the breath of blood and fire, and they were the elite among the elite.

How can this be considered catching a corrupt official?

This is clearly an invitation to a giant Buddha!

"Liangping..."

Chen Hai's voice was a little dry. He grabbed Hou Liangping who was about to push the door open and said, "Something... is wrong in here."

"Brother Hai, you are just too cautious."

Hou Liangping's self-confidence had reached its peak. He patted Chen Hai's arm and said in a low voice, "I know what you want to say. The more you say this, the bigger his problem is! He's acting so arrogantly because he's guilty! Watch how I tear off his mask!"

After saying that, he didn't give Chen Hai any more chances to persuade him. He straightened his collar and pushed the door open.

With a bang, the door closed behind him.

At this time, outside the interrogation room of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Ji Changming received a call from Gao Yuliang.

Gao Yuliang only told Ji Changming a few words, but Ji Changming was already scared to death.

"General Zhao Yuanchao has been missing for sixteen hours. The 20th Army has been activated. The 20th Army Chief of Staff has departed for Handong. If General Zhao Yuanchao cannot be found within 24 hours, Handong will be placed under military control. The suppression of the rebellion will begin!"

Chapter 10: Questioning Hou Liangping

At this time, it was different from Ji Changming's panic.

Hou Liangping walked to the opposite side of the interrogation table with a big horse and sat down. He slammed the folder in his hand on the table with a loud noise, trying to gain the upper hand with his momentum.

"Name? Position? Did Ding Yizhen give you that bulletproof red flag with the license plate starting with 京A88? I'm giving you a chance. If you confess now, you might even get leniency."

Hou Liangping spoke very quickly, and a series of questions came out like cannonballs.

However, the man opposite didn't even raise his eyelids.

He didn't hear what Hou Liangping said. He picked up the teacup and gently blew away the tea leaves floating on it.

This complete disregard made Hou Liangping more annoyed than any fierce resistance.

He felt that the punch he threw with all his strength hit cotton.

"I'm talking to you! What's your attitude?"

Hou Liangping's voice rose several degrees.

At this time, the man slowly put down the teacup, raised his head, and his eyes fell on Hou Liangping's face for the first time.

What kind of eyes are those?

Deep, calm, yet sharp enough to see through everything.

Hou Liangping felt that he was seen through from inside out under that gaze, and all his disguises and auras were exposed.

"Hou Liangping."

The man spoke, his voice was not loud, but extremely clear, and every word was like a nail, accurately piercing Hou Liangping's ears.

Hou Liangping was stunned.

He didn't expect the other party to call him by his name directly, and use this old-fashioned address.

"The Director of the First Investigation Division was transferred from the Supreme People's Procuratorate to the Handong Provincial People's Procuratorate to take charge of the work, is that correct?"

The man continued speaking, his tone as flat as if he was presenting a report that had nothing to do with him.

The arrogance on Hou Liangping's face froze instantly.

He subconsciously straightened his back, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion.

This is not right!

How could someone know the identity and background of an arrested suspect so clearly?

The man ignored his shock and continued, "Your father, Comrade Hou Jianjun, worked in the Northeast Procuratorate in his early years. He was later transferred to a higher position. He is also a respected veteran prosecutor."

"Your wife, Zhong Xiaoai, currently serves on the Disciplinary Inspection Commission."
