Chapter 267: Chapter 266: Just Ask Already!
Police interrogations naturally have their own methods. Although they canât use violence, sometimes they have to resort to unconventional means.
However, Su Qing wasnât thinking that much. He simply wanted to take revenge for the discrimination he faced yesterday.
In the interrogation room, there were two men, both with bruised faces and an expression of fear, with Lin Chengcai overseeing the situation personally.
Upon learning that Jiang Hongâs death could be related to the coercion of nude loans, Lin Chengcai took it seriously, as this wouldnât be a simple suicide case.
"I advise you to confess now. If we find out that Jiang Hongâs death is related to you, you may face additional charges. You know how serious that can be," Lin Chengcai said softly.
"It really has nothing to do with us. We know weâre wrong, but this has absolutely no connection to us. We donât know anything," one of the bald men quickly explained.
"I swear, we only lent her money, we didnât do anything else!" said the other man with a long face, refusing to admit any extreme behavior that led to Jiang Hongâs suicide.
They knew what they had done, illegal lending, even nude loans, which are illegal activities. They would definitely do time for that, but they couldnât be involved in a homicide case.
Even a legal illiterate knows that once involved in a homicide case, itâs no small matter, so they explained desperately.
"Bullshit!" Yan Lie slammed the table, eyes glaring like copper bells, shouting angrily:
"Youâre still not admitting it, huh? You think we brought you here without knowing anything? Weâre giving you a chance and youâre not taking it, being stubborn instead.
You all engaged in nude loans, harmed so many female students. How did you handle it when they couldnât repay? Do you think we donât know?"
Indeed, such claims wouldnât be believed by the police, let alone ordinary people. How do those who engage in nude loans make money?
The interest is sky-high, and when students canât repay, they threaten them at their homes, or spread photos at school, or even upload them online.
Some even sell the photos to illegal websites for profit, even if the money is repaid. How could these people possibly keep their promises?
Just when the atmosphere in the interrogation room was tense, the door opened, and Li Zijun entered with Su Qing.
"Master, Su Qing is here," Li Zijun said.
Yesterday, after she parted ways with Su Qing, she reported the illegal loan institution to the bureau, and Lin Chengcai decisively instructed her not to alert them. Today, he organized a team to take down the loan operation.
There were three people inside, one who was hospitalized due to Li Zijunâs heavy hand, and the remaining two were here.
And itâs obvious that they must have accomplices. After all, collection and threatening people canât be done by just three people.
"Su, youâre here. This is the clue you provided. Come listen in," Lin Chengcai said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Qing nodded at Team Leader Lin and the old detective Yan Lie, then looked at the two men handcuffed to the interrogation chairs and asked with a smile, "Who called me yesterday? By the way, Iâm the guy you wanted to do a nude loan with."
Hearing this, the two men exchanged glances and didnât say a word. Li Zijun pointed to the man with the long face and said, "It was him, his name is Ma Guodong, he contacted me too."
As soon as she finished speaking, a chair flew over with a whoosh, whizzing past Ma Guodongâs skull and smashing heavily into the wall behind him.
"You piece of shit, itâs you who discriminated against men, right? Why canât I do a nude loan, huh? Damn you, you even cursed me, you motherfucker!"
In an instant, Su Qing lost his temper, taking advantage of the two being handcuffed to the interrogation chairs, he punched directly at Ma Guodongâs face.
Fortunately, Li Zijun was quick-eyed and swiftly grabbed his waist, while Lin Chengcai and Yan Lie also stepped forward to restrain him.
"Su, Su, calm down!"
"Yeah, donât be impulsive!"
Seeing that someone was holding him back, Su Qing got even more worked up, throwing broad fists and kicking aimlessly, "Donât stop me, damn it, that fool even cursed me. Come on, didnât you say you wanted to check my information? Let me see how many mothers you actually have!"
They dragged him to the side, and although his punches didnât land, Ma Guodong did get kicked a few times.
Li Zijun was quite worried. Even if you want to deal with this scum, thereâs no need to use physical violence in the interrogation room. If you really want to deal with them, there are ways in their detention center. No need to do it like this, it might even lead to complaints.
Yet Lin Chengcaiâs eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression seemed thoughtful.
The sudden chaos scared Ma Guodong and Luo Dashan quite a bit. The force of that thrown chair was not small, and although they didnât know how they offended Su Qing, they almost got beaten for real.
Feeling the softness behind him, Su Qingâs body stiffened slightly. He quickly relaxed the force of his struggles, pointing at Ma Guodong and cursing, "Youâre lucky. Just you wait, this isnât over!"
"Sister Jun, find someone to take care of them once they get inside,"
Hearing this, Li Zijun released her grip on his waist, "Alright, alright, I get it. Donât worry, Iâll find someone to inform them."
Listening to the siblings nonchalantly âabusing their powerâ, Lin Chengcai quickly coughed twice, "Ahem, Su, you lost your cool, you know youâre also a cop, you need to learn to control your emotions."
"Sorry, Team Leader Lin, I lost control of my emotions."
"Uh-huh, be careful next time, at least donât lose it in front of me, understood?"
"Understood, Team Leader Lin!"
Ma Guodong and Luo Dashan: ...
Is this a police station? This is clearly a banditâs den. What kind of cop just starts hitting people, and the captain doesnât even care?
Then Su Qing looked at the two men and asked casually, "Are you going to talk? If not, Team Leader Lin, anyhow, theyâre guilty of illegal lending, nude loans, and threatening students. Letâs lock them up first, then wait for a public prosecution. Iâll find someone to âtake careâ of these guys."
Faced with Su Qingâs unconventional approach and immediate intent to âtake care ofâ them after just a disagreement, Ma Luo was panicked. This guy clearly didnât intend to get any information out of them; he just wanted to vent his anger.
"No, no, go ahead and ask!"
"Right, right, ask away. Weâll definitely confess what we know!"
Lin Chengcai: ...
Yan Lie: ...
So all our previous questioning was in vain? Indeed, all those words couldnât match a few heavy slaps.
Up until now, Lin Chengcai still thought this was some interrogation tactic by Su Qing since they had used similar methods before.
But only Su Qing himself knew that he was genuinely angry and really wanted to beat up the fool he argued with last night.
"I feel thereâs no need for any more confessions. Letâs just send them in," Su Qing suggested, somewhat unwillingly, to Lin Chengcai.
Lin Chengcai looked at him, an appreciative glint in his eyes. This kid was indeed a good candidate for a detective.
"No, no. Go ahead, ask!"
"Weâll tell you everything!"
Everyone: ...
Maybe the policeâs image was actually too good, leading these guys not to fear them? Now that this bold fellow showed up, theyâre eager to confess instead.
"Tsk, no fun," seeing Lin Chengcaiâs encouraging eyes, Su Qing realized he misunderstood. In this situation, he had to start asking questions; otherwise, Lin Chengcai wouldnât agree to him seeking revenge.
"How did Jiang Hong reach out to you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo and Ma looked baffled. Many girls came for loans, and they had long forgotten most of them.
"I donât... I donât quite remember, but maybe she was introduced through Gu Qiaoqiao?"
"Whoâs Gu Qiaoqiao?" Su Qing asked.
Luo Dashan spoke, "Sheâs also a student at Normal University. She took out a loan from us and later introduced clients to us."
"Did you threaten them or send people to collect debts?"
"No, no, definitely not!"
[A poor lie]
"Lying, send them in!"
The two: ...
