Chapter 166 Liu Mingli! Leniency to those who confess! Severity to those who resist!
Inside the police station's interrogation room, the lights were dim and depressing. Zhao Fen sat on a chair, her body shaking slightly uncontrollably, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
She twisted her hands tightly together, her knuckles turned white from the effort, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, showing her extreme tension.
Chen Fan sat opposite, his eyes calm and sharp. He carefully observed every subtle expression and movement of Zhao Fen.
He knew very well that for suspects like Zhao Fen, interrogation required not only skills but also patience and understanding.
Chen Fan coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and said gently: "Zhao Fen, I know you are very scared now, but you have to understand that things have already happened. What we need to do now is to find a solution to the problem."
There was a hint of soothing in his tone, trying to make Zhao Fen relax a little.
Zhao Fen raised her head, glanced at Chen Fan, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "I... I know I was wrong, police comrade, I really didn't know it would turn out like this."
Chen Fan nodded slightly and continued, "Zhao Fen, you have to believe that the law is fair.
Although the sin you committed is serious, it is not beyond redemption.
You are not directly guilty of murder, but of assisting in murder. If you can tell the truth and help us accuse Bai Baoshan and the people behind the scenes, you can strive for a reduced sentence. "
His words were clear and firm, sending a clear message to Zhao Fen.
When Zhao Fen heard this, her body trembled slightly and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered by fear.
She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Really? Can I...can I get a reduced sentence?"
Chen Fan looked at her with encouragement in his eyes: "Yes, as long as you cooperate with us. Think about it, if you don't tell us now, and Bai Baoshan and the others push all the blame on you, do you think you still have a chance?"
"Besides, you don't want to live in fear all the time. Only by making things clear can you truly be relieved."
Zhao Fen fell into deep thought, and her heart began to struggle violently.
On the one hand, she was afraid that Bai Baoshan and the people behind the scenes would retaliate against her.
On the other hand, she longed for the opportunity to get a reduced sentence and start a new life.
Chen Fan waited quietly. He did not urge Zhao Fen, but gave her encouragement and support with his eyes.
After a while, Zhao Fen raised her head with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Comrade police, let me tell you. I was also forced by them. They asked me to lead Lao Wang to the river. I really didn't know they were going to kill him..."
Chen Fan was delighted, but his face remained calm: "Okay, Zhao Fen, take your time and tell us everything you know."
As Zhao Fen told the story, some details of the case gradually became clear. Chen Fan carefully recorded every key piece of information, while constantly guiding Zhao Fen to recall more details.
When Zhao Fen mentioned that someone had made a deal with them and that those people often spent money at a nightclub, Chen Fan's eyes lit up.
He knew that this was an important clue that might be the key to solving the case.
In another interrogation room, Old Wang's face was full of regret and self-blame.
He lowered his head, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness.
Chen Fan comforted him softly, "Uncle, don't blame yourself too much. The incident has already happened. What we need to do now is to find out the truth and let the bad guys receive the punishment they deserve."
Old Wang raised his head, looked at Chen Fan, sighed and said, "I was really bewildered. How could I have believed that woman so easily? I am so old, and I still made such a stupid mistake."
Chen Fan smiled and encouraged: "Uncle, this is not your fault. They planned it. Please tell us everything you know about Xiaohe Village. This is very important for us to solve the case."
Old Wang nodded and began to narrate: "Although Xiaohe Village was not rich before, everyone lived in peace. But everything changed after Liu Mingli came. He started some unclear projects in the village, occupied our land, and gave unreasonable compensation. When we villagers had objections, he used various means to suppress them. I have always disagreed with his handling of my private plot, and I guess he holds a grudge against me because of this. After thinking about this matter, I think he must have something to do with it."
Chen Fan listened carefully, recording key information from time to time, and continued to ask: "Have you found that Liu Mingli has close contact with any suspicious people? Or are there any other abnormal situations?"
Old Wang frowned and recalled, "For a while, I saw some unfamiliar faces often wandering around the village. They didn't look like good people. And some of the projects in the village seemed to be colluded by him and some outsiders. I don't know who they are. But I feel that they must be planning something bad."
After listening to this, Chen Fan had a clearer picture of the case in his mind.
He thanked Old Wang for his cooperation, then quickly organized the information he had obtained from Zhao Fen and Old Wang, and prepared to report to Qi Tongwei.
And at this time.
Liu Mingli was right next to Qi Tongwei.
The atmosphere in the spacious car was oppressive and subtle.
Liu Mingli sat next to Qi Tongwei, feeling anxious like an ant on hot pot, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface and tried hard to maintain that fake smile.
He was not able to receive the news from his subordinates in time.
After all, he was next to a big leader, especially a leader like Qi Tongwei who had a particularly strong sense of oppression.
If you suddenly go out to make a phone call.
Means disrespect.
No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as accompanying the leader. Even if his wife cheated on him, he has to endure it!
And in his opinion, nothing serious should happen.
He kept boasting to Qi Tongwei about his "great achievements" in another village.
"Deputy Mayor Qi, you don't know that I carefully planned and promoted the project in that village. The villagers' income has increased significantly, and they have escaped poverty and become rich. They are very grateful to me. I have really done good things for the people and contributed to the development of the local area."
As he spoke, he would secretly observe Qi Tongwei's reaction from time to time, trying to find a hint of recognition or appreciation on that expressionless face.
However, Qi Tongwei just listened quietly, his eyes deep and calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
He said nothing, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. He just silently watched the scenery passing by outside the car window.
however!
suddenly.
Qi Tongwei signaled to turn around!
The driver suddenly turned around according to Qi Tongwei's instructions.
This action made Liu Mingli stunned for a moment. His smile froze on his face and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"This... Deputy Mayor Qi, why did you suddenly turn around? Is there something wrong?"
He asked cautiously, his voice unconsciously trembling.
Qi Tongwei turned his head and stared at Liu Mingli with a sharp gaze, revealing an irresistible majesty.
He said calmly, "Now, Liu Mingli, tell me what you did in Xiaohe Village. If you tell me clearly, I can consider giving you a chance to reduce your sentence."
