"Don't scare me. While I was scare people, you were playing with mud!" Lao Pu slammed the table with his handcuffed hands, using all his strength, wishing he could pull the chair out.
The interrogating police officer chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Lao Pu. Your image will be ruined if you behave like this."
"Don't you want to see me as a gangster? This is what I look like as a gangster." Lao Pu was as angry as a porcupine, his eyes looked like they were about to pop out.
"You're angry because I was right." The interrogating police officer didn't expect it to be so easy. He originally thought it would be a tough battle, but thinking back, Jiang Yuan had already laid the groundwork. And when Lao Pu faced the threat of the death penalty, his emotions were not as stable as he had shown before.
Lao Pu began to rock the chair and move his buttocks, struggling to escape from the restraints.
Of course, it was fruitless.
The interrogating police officer waited quietly until he had vented enough, then said coldly: "Enough of the fuss, let's continue the interrogation."
Lao Pu whispered, "What you said about tool marks is all nonsense..."
"Do you know why we didn't catch you back then?" the interrogating police officer suddenly asked back.
This question was too crucial, and Lao Pu naturally wanted to know, so he was instantly controlled.
The interrogating police officer smiled at the police officer next to him. Normally, the police will not reveal too much information to the suspect, and may not even reveal any information at all, even why they arrested you, and just let you keep explaining, so that there are cases where the police catch chickens but only catch a group of ducks.
However, Lao Pu is different. He is a veteran, and not the old-timer who struggles at the bottom. He is a veteran who has made a fortune.
As we all know, the most difficult thing in the world is to put your own thoughts into other people's minds and put other people's money into your own pocket.
Those who can make money in an industry, especially those who make a lot of money, at least have a good understanding of this industry.
As Lao Pu himself said, it is still very difficult to bluff him.
This is when the real thing is needed, when evidence is needed.
The interrogating police officer was not like Jiang Yuan who could catch three people in an hour. His most important task now was to interrogate Lao Pu. It didn't matter how many days it took. Therefore, he was well prepared and said, "We didn't catch you back then because we were investigating in the wrong direction. We didn't expect that the victim was stabbed to death because of the rental of the basement store. We were more concerned about the distribution and inheritance of property, as well as his former enemies..."
The interrogating police officer smiled and explained in great detail: "The rent is based on the market. Later, it was rented to your boss, which is also the market price. And the victim himself is a rather arrogant person. The thousands of square meters of the ground floor business under his name was not so clean. According to the principle that whoever makes the most profit is most likely to be the murderer, we went around in circles and still failed to solve the case."
The victim's basement shop of several thousand square meters was in Beijing. Even 18 years ago, it was still a fortune that ordinary people could hardly possess. Coupled with other properties and the disputes over property among his business partners and family members, the police shifted their focus.
The police at the time did not expect that the murderer was actually a prospective tenant who wanted to rent these basement shops.
The investigation direction was wrong, so the case naturally could not be solved.
The interrogating police officer said this, looked at Lao Pu, and said with a smile: "But now we have found you, and we are focusing on you to investigate this case. What do you think will be the result?"
Lao Pu pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know how you want to frame me, but this case happened so many years ago. I can't just say it's what you say it is."
"Your knife is actually quite famous." The interrogating police officer first said, "You liked it very much, right? Later, it was your boss who asked you to throw it away."
Lao Pu had a stern face and said nothing.
The interrogating police officer smiled and said, "Look, you used that knife to commit three assaults and one murder. If you say you didn't commit the murder, the victim can't come forward to testify. But the victims of the three assaults are all alive. If you show them your photo, they will recognize you!"
The interrogating policeman counted on his fingers and asked, "Did you lend your famous sword to someone else?"
Lao Pu said nothing. He was an old criminal, and he immediately discovered the trap set by the interrogating police. If he admitted to lending it to others, he would first admit to three crimes of injury, and there might be serious injury in the middle.
The rest of the money had to be lent to someone clearly. It was useless to just randomly point to someone without first deciding who would take the blame.
For the criminal police, if you want to identify the person who borrowed the knife, you have to tell the time, place, and reason for borrowing. When the police catch the person later, they will ask the same questions. If they don't match, then one of you must be lying.
Boyfriends and girlfriends often have arguments that are unclear because no one records them, and no one uses a recorder or video equipment. Otherwise, if they follow the interrogation model, they can always tell who is the winner.
Interrogations abroad are actually similar, so lawyers will remind the parties "don't say a word."
In China, lawyers can’t even think of seeing the person until the criminal police finish the interrogation.
Lao Pu relied entirely on his experience to resist the interrogation.
The detective sitting opposite him smiled through the iron-barred window, then knocked on the table and said, "You won't cry until you see the coffin. Then let me tell you a few more things."
"Please." Lao Pu already felt something was wrong, but he still wanted to hear what evidence the police had.
What he was thinking about now was that the knife had been disposed of. When he was young and naive, he had finally obtained a good Nepalese knife, and he was reluctant to throw it away after using it.
Of course, after killing someone with the knife, he eventually threw it away. As for why he didn't change the knife when he killed someone, it was because he was killing someone, so he naturally used the most convenient weapon!
18 years ago, Old Pu was living a life of uncertainty, and he never imagined that he would be able to get away with it later.
Snapped!
The interrogating police officer slapped his hand on the document and said, "Old Pu, do you still remember the boast you made back then?"
Lao Pu was startled and said in an instant: "Boasting is not true."
"Some of the lies told in prison are quite true." The interrogating police officer paused and said, "The key is that some people still remember it very clearly, and the details match the on-site investigation. The police have not announced these to the public!"
On-site testimony is a very important part of a criminal case and an important means to avoid wrongful convictions.
If a person confesses under torture, he will not be able to identify the scene and cannot give clear details. His death sentence will not pass the review and it will be difficult for him to get himself released.
From another perspective, if someone's bragging is consistent with the actual details of the scene, then this person is worthy of suspicion.
Bragging in prison is an indispensable part of prison life.
Lao Pu was silent again.
"Also, do you still remember the driver who picked you up that day?" The interrogating detective named another key figure.
This time, Lao Pu couldn't hold it in any longer and repeated, "Are you kidding me?"
"Why are you kidding? Your boss's driver has a nickname of "Corpse Runner", right? He has committed quite a few crimes. After he was arrested by Jiang Shen, he also gave you up in order to gain merit." The interrogating police officer said it easily.
This evidence is actually not strong enough, because the corpse runner did not see the murder scene. He just stopped at the agreed location, waited for Lao Pu to get in the car, and then drove away.
However, when combined with the previous evidence, Lao Pu has very little room for maneuver.
"What do you want?" Lao Pu was a little overwhelmed.
The interrogating police officer simply said, "Your boss."
"You better think about it. My boss is the boss of a listed company." Lao Pu stared at the other party. He was not afraid of exposing his boss. He was afraid that if he exposed his boss, his boss would be fine.
The interrogating police officer said with certainty: "We want the listed company!"
"Give me a cigarette." Lao Pu uttered the classic line during interrogation. In the world of detectives and criminals, "give me a cigarette" is as common as "I'm going to take a shower" in the world of adult men and women.
Click.
The interrogating police officer opened the iron gate, came in and lit a cigarette for Lao Pu.
Lao Pu took a deep breath, and then another, and held it in his mouth for a long time before spitting it out, saying, "I want to see God Jiang, and I will only confess to Jiang Yuan."
"Jiang Yuan's main job is forensic medicine, and he is not a police officer from the Zhengguang Bureau..." the interrogating police officer gave some advice.
Lao Pu shook his head firmly and said, "I know Jiang Yuan once took down a listed company and was unscathed. I don't believe you!"
