Torture has always been the most direct and domineering method, with the purpose of destroying the body and spirit, and it is not something that ordinary people can withstand.

It's like now.

The first one to give in was Chen Ziqiang, and he didn't have to be punished at all, he told everything he knew.

The hot soldering iron that was shaking in front of his eyes was like a ghostly god that killed the soul, and his face was pale with fright, and his heart was about to pop out

"I said, I said, I did send Ma Xiaorong to my brother that night, my brother's favorite is this kind of young and beautiful girl, the younger the better. I've done this for him a few times before, and I've done everything. ”

"I have a list of the girls I've sent to."

"Also, my brother has a very close relationship with the people of the Okada Chamber of Commerce, and it seems that he has collected some information for them, which is why he has so much money."

……

This is just the beginning.

The second one to be soft is Chen Ziming.

Where do you need to take Chen Ziming's family to interrogate, just after such a torture, Chen Ziming honestly confessed his crime.

"Okay, I'll admit that Ma Xiaorong was indeed killed by me, but I can't be blamed for this incident at all. Who told her to hurt me with scissors that night? ”

"If it weren't for her, would I have been able to do it? I don't do it, and I won't accidentally kill her. ”

Chen Ziming shouted hysterically: "So strictly speaking, I am justified in defense!" Yes, it's just defense, it's impossible for her to kill me, I have to die obediently. ”

"It's an honor for a pariahs like her, to be able to serve me, but she doesn't cherish it, and she dares to do it with me, a woman like this deserves to die, do you want me to pay for my life?"

"As long as you can let me go, I am willing to lose money, and I am willing to pay for whatever the family wants!"

……

Chen Ziming also knows that once he confesses, he doesn't want to be easily fished out by An Rongqiao.

Now his only hope is that An Rongqiao can save his life for the sake of his service before and after the saddle all these years.

After all, Chen Ziming didn't say a word about the secrets of An Rongqiao.

in the office.

"Oh, Chen Ziming has already pleaded guilty?" Chu Mufeng raised his eyebrows and said.

"That's right!"

Liang Dongcai said with joy on his face: "Chen Ziming pleaded guilty, and he confessed to the crime of killing Ma Xiaorong and throwing the body of Jinghe. ”

"He actually said that he was in legitimate defense, a little girl who was powerless, and could threaten him, it's ridiculous!"

"And from Chen Ziqiang's mouth, we also heard a more valuable news, saying that Chen Ziming is very likely to have made a deal with someone from the Okada Chamber of Commerce, and the content of the transaction is intelligence."

Okada Chamber of Commerce?

"Traitor! Quisling! ”

The moment Chu Mufeng heard the Okada Chamber of Commerce, a bright light flashed in his mind.

Isn't this the Chamber of Commerce that Tang Jingzong let him stare at? If Chen Ziming said that he had a deal with this chamber of commerce, that is to say, he and Taro Okada knew each other, maybe he could get more news about Taro Okada from his mouth.

The praying mantis is like a stinger, quietly piercing Jinling, and he naturally wants to pull it out as soon as possible.

"The homicide case is pleaded guilty, then leave it to me, I want to talk to Chen Ziming alone, you let everyone leave the interrogation room, and no one is allowed to approach half a step." Chu Mufeng stood up and said slowly.

"Good!"

This is the condition that Chu Mufeng was promised at the beginning, and Liang Dongcai will naturally not regret it.

And if he wants to make a fuss about this matter, drag An Rong Bridge into the water, and help Qin Zheng ascend to the throne, in the final analysis, it is still up to Chu Mufeng to come forward to do this, and it is not convenient for him to do it personally.

Interrogation room.

Chen Ziming was firmly tied to a chair, his clothes were in tatters, and his face was covered with specks of blood.

Where are the eyes still have the former brilliance, dull.

His whole body seemed sluggish.

Pulling over a chair at random, Chu Mufeng sat down opposite Chen Ziming with a golden knife, lit a cigarette, and said with a little sarcasm: "Tsk, I can't see it, Secretary Chen, you really did it!" ”

Chen Ziming raised his head, his heart was mixed, and he said with resentment on his face: "Chu Mufeng, I have become like this, are you satisfied?" Isn't that what you want? ”

"The outcome I want?"

Chu Mufeng curled the corners of his lips, flicked the cigarette ash casually, and said contemptuously: "Chen Ziming, did I force you to oppress the people's daughters?" Did I force you to kill? ”

"Such a young girl in the flower season, she couldn't enjoy her youth, and she was killed by you like this. She died so unjustly, don't you have a little conscience? ”

"Humph!"

Will Chen Ziming's conscience be disturbed? Not at all, all he has now is regret.

I regret why I didn't do this cleanly, so that I left so many clues to be caught.

Even if he called the police as soon as possible and deducted the charge on the other party, it would be better to lose some money at most, and who could convict him.

"I know you'll happily admit the charges, the first is that you can't bear the torture of those torture instruments, and the second is that you have hope for An Rongqiao, you think she will save you, right?"

Chu Mufeng hit the nail on the head to point out Chen Ziming's expectations.

Chen Ziming snorted twice, without the meaning of sneering at each other.

There are some things that you just need to know in your heart, and you can't say through them.

"But there's something you don't know, right?"

After Chu Mufeng flicked the cigarette butt in his hand away, he said unhurriedly: "Just an hour ago, your position has been completely dismissed. ”

"An Rongqiao issued an official document, completely ignorant of what you did, everything you do will be your own responsibility to the end, he publicly stated that he will continue to defend judicial fairness, even if you are his secretary, he will not hesitate to push it out, and will never bend the law for personal gain!"

"He implores the Jinling Garrison Department to investigate Ma Xiaorong's murder case fairly and fairly, and return the deceased to innocence!"

Rumble!

Chen Ziming, who lowered his head, raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked at Chu Mufeng in disbelief, and said with trembling lips: "You...... What did you say? You're lying, right? ”

"Yes, you must be trying to scold me! Chu Mufeng, I didn't expect you to be such a villain, and even this kind of trick to sow discord would be displayed! ”

"Sow discord?"

Chu Mufeng raised the corners of his lips and said sneeringly: "Chen Ziming, let's stop going around in circles, open the skylight and say something." ”

"I really want to get the information you have, and I know that you must have some secrets about An Rongqiao. But do you think I'm going to be so eager to spread rumors in order to get this? ”

"If you think like that, you will inevitably underestimate me too much! An Rongqiao's statement is already known to everyone outside, but you don't know. ”

"I'm kind enough to tell you, you still have to pretend you don't know, it's actually quite pathetic for you to do this."

"I don't believe that you have followed An Rongqiao for so many years, I don't know what kind of person An Rongqiao is, what his means and temperament are, you should know best."

When he said this, Chu Mufeng's eyes rolled slightly.

"Do you really think that I asked Liang Dongcai to arrest all your family members in order to threaten you to confess?"

"Isn't it?" Chen Ziming asked a little dazedly.

"Hehe, you're wrong to think so, I'm not trying to threaten you, but I'm afraid that you will be threatened! So, do you understand? ”

That's right!

Chen Ziming came to his senses in an instant, could he not understand? If Chu Mufeng said so, he knew the joints better than anyone else.

After all, he just went to meet Yao Jiangchuan of Zitang Company two days ago, and what he asked the other party to do was very despicable and ugly, and this thing was exactly what An Rongqiao ordered.

Do you think that if An Rongqiao said that in order to keep secrets, he couldn't do the thing of threatening himself with his family to honestly confess his guilt and surrender to the law?

Of course, Chen Ziming would not be naïve to think that Chu Mufeng was really good for him, and it was also because An Rongqiao issued that statement, and it happened to be like this, so Chu Mufeng said this.

But in any case, it is relatively safer for my family to be in the security department than outside.

An Rongqiao, are you so ruthless?

Thinking that he had served An Rongqiao for so many years, and now that he had just been caught because of his mistakes, he couldn't wait to give the order to dismiss his position, ruthlessly dismissing all relations with himself.

You must know that you only confessed half an hour ago, and you have been insisting on not letting go until then.

But what about you? The fact that you announced early on that you would draw a line with me, instead of doing it because I confessed, shows that you didn't think about my life or death at all.

Am I also an ant in your eyes?

Chen Ziming was pale and disheartened.

"Chen Ziming, you and I are both smart people, that's why I came to talk to you, and I want to make a deal with you."

"Of course, if you say that you have to keep your so-called loyalty to the end, I won't talk nonsense anymore. But at that time, I don't care if you are dead or alive, whether your family is dead or alive! Chu Mufeng said calmly.

"Tell me about your deal." Chen Ziming swallowed and smeared, his eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was a little panicked.

"I want to know the secrets of An Rongqiao! I also want to know the deal between the Okada Chamber of Commerce and the Zitang Company! ”

"Of course, if you can tell the secret correspondence between the Okada Chamber of Commerce and An Rongqiao, I will assure you that after you die, your wife, children, and parents will be properly protected, and they will leave Jinling City safely and settle in other cities, and no one will find them." Chu Mufeng said slowly.

"After I die? After I die! You mean I have to die? Chen Ziming's voice trembled.

Chu Mufeng did not have the slightest room for compromise on this issue.

"Chen Ziming, killing people to pay for their lives has been a truth since ancient times, if you don't die, Ma Xiaorong won't be blind when you die! You die, the transaction is carried out, it's up to you to choose! ”

Is it to continue to believe in An Rongqiao and wait for his help?

Or do you believe in Chu Mufeng's promise and exchange for the safety of his family after his death?

Chen Ziming's mood is very contradictory now, he has never encountered this kind of thing, thinking that he is going to die and have to suffer this kind of torture, his whole person is about to go crazy.

"What will happen to my family if I don't agree to your deal?"

"I will be acquitted!"

Chu Mufeng said as a matter of course: "If you agree or not, they will all be released, and they originally came to cooperate as the subject of the investigation." ”

"But as I just said, as long as they leave the security department, it has nothing to do with us, or I have nothing to do with it."

"I ......"

Chen Ziming still can't make up his mind.

When it comes to the choice of life and death, where will it be so easy. I can't say that you just have a few words like chicken soup for the soul, so I have to surrender obediently.

If that's the case, you'll be underestimating me.

Chu Mufeng wanted the secret of An Rong Bridge.

But these secrets are precisely the hole cards that Chen Ziming relies on for a living, he doesn't believe that An Rongqiao will give up himself, even if it is for those secrets, he has to save his life.

If the two are compared, will Chen Ziming choose the former without hesitation and trade with Chu Mufeng?

I have to die to trade with you, and I'm not stupid, don't you know the truth that it's better to die than to live?

"Let's go!" Chen Ziming closed his eyes and stopped talking.

After noticing that Chen Ziming's contradictory mood had become calm, Chu Mufeng knew that he had made a choice.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ziming, you still dare to have illusions at this time, and you still think you can live, right? Okay, now that you've decided to believe in An Rongqiao, then I can only use a killer move.

"You're doing it yourself!"

Chu Mufeng decisively got up and left.

Outside the interrogation room.

"How?" Liang Dongcai stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Chu Mufeng shook his head.

"I didn't expect this Chen Ziming to be a hard bone, or I will continue to torture him!" Liang Dongcai's eyes were cold.

"Not necessarily!"

Chu Mufeng glanced at the door of the interrogation room behind him, and said slowly: "I think it is useless for him to torture him now, since he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to speak out, he would definitely resist to the end." ”

"So that's it?" Liang Dongcai asked unwillingly.

"That's it for the time being, you will publish two pieces of news below, the first is internal, that is, the Jinghe murder case has been solved, and the murderer is Chen Ziming, and he has confessed to the crime."

"The second is external, saying that the Jinghe murder case has not been solved until now, and it is still inconclusive who the murderer is." Chu Mufeng said softly.

"Two statements? Do you want to? Liang Dong was thoughtful.

"It's not that I want to, but it depends on whether An Rongqiao wants to or not. My intuition tells me that if I want to pry Chen Ziming's mouth open, in the final analysis, I have to rely on An Rongqiao. ”

"Otherwise, even if he is willing to say it, is the news he says 100% true?" Chu Mufeng said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Two pieces of news were announced.

……

In the early afternoon.

Tang Garden, Ye family.

Qin Zheng accompanied Ye Kunpeng to chat in the study, and the conversation was about Chen Ziming.

After handing over a cup of hot tea, he said softly, "Teacher, not only the entire city hall is now discussing this matter, but also many departments and agencies. ”

"They are all talking about how Chen Ziming looks like a gentleman, how could he do such a crazy thing. A little girl who had just become an adult was spoiled by him like this, not to mention, and she was killed, which is simply worse than a beast. ”

"The human-faced beast heart should be killed!" Ye Kunpeng said indifferently.

"An Rongqiao had the courage to cut off the relationship with Chen Ziming at the first time and expelled him from the civil service of the city hall." Qin Zheng followed and said.

"Severe? Evict? ”

Ye Kunpeng smiled disapprerovingly: "As long as some things are done, can they be cut off if they want to?" It wasn't something he could do with his mouth open. ”

"He said that he had nothing to do with Chen Ziming, and he said that he didn't know anything about the dirty things Chen Ziming had done, so should others believe it?"

"Not to mention anything else, it is impossible to escape the responsibility of not being able to recognize people clearly! By the way, you just said that Chen Ziming has pleaded guilty to the law, right? ”

"Yes, teacher."

Qin Zheng showed a hesitant expression on his face when he said this, "This confession is a bit of a saying. ”

"The news from the garrison department said that Chen Ziming had confessed and confessed. However, the Criminal Investigation Department of the Garrison Department announced that it was still under investigation, which gave people signs that they were hiding their seeds. ”

"Cover-up?"

Ye Kunpeng's old face showed a playful smile, and he said slowly: "This matter should be inseparable from the monkey cub. ”

"Are you saying that the homicide case that Liang Dongcai is responsible for has Xiao Jiu's shadow behind it? Is he in control of the case? Is the Criminal Investigation Department's internal and external statements useful? ”

Qin Zheng is such a smart person, and he thinks of a lot in an instant.

"Well, let's see, you can do it now, no matter what, it will be good for you."

"Students know!"

After Qin Zheng responded, he couldn't help but say with a little emotion: "Teacher, if this thing is really done by Xiao Jiu, I should thank him, if it weren't for his breakthrough, I wouldn't be able to easily win An Rongqiao." ”

"You're right, monkey cubs don't do things pedantic, and that's what I admire. He has a principled bottom line in doing things, but on this basis, he will not say that he does not know how to be flexible like an old-fashioned person. ”

"Just watch this, maybe the monkey cub will really surprise you." Ye Kunpeng touched his beard and praised it again and again.

"Teacher, then I'll wait and see." Qin Zheng said with a smile.

Chu Mufeng is not pedantic, can it be said that Qin Zheng will?

If this thing is really said to be done, and An Rongqiao can be pulled off the horse, Qin Zheng will never refuse, and he will not say that because this thing was done by Chu Mufeng, he feels a little uneasy.

……

In Jinling City, there is an antique teahouse and an elegant room.

An Rongqiao, who is the protagonist of today's events, or forced to become the protagonist, is sitting here.

He's in a bad mood right now, and what happened today is challenging his bottom line.

He really didn't expect that Chen Ziming, who had always been optimistic, would do such a heartbreaking thing.

Insult Ma Xiaorong! Strangle each other! Throw the corpse into the river!

After doing this kind of thing, Chen Ziming was able to come to work like a nobody, looking calm and calm.

Thinking of this scene, An Rongqiao felt a little stunned.

It takes a crazy pervert to be so calm!

Of course, this does not mean that An Rongqiao will be afraid and afraid, in fact, the crazy things he has done are much more serious than Chen Ziming, and there are countless murderous and vicious ones.

He was just surprised that Chen Ziming's nature was so bad!

The most lethal thing is that it will bring him the heaviest blow.

Even if it is said that he has long severed his relationship with Chen Ziming and discarded him as an outcast, can the affairs of officialdom be easily settled by doing this?

Obviously a very small thing, as long as it becomes a thorn in the side of others, it will be infinitely magnified.

Obviously, a big thing, as long as you have enough power, you can turn a big thing into a small thing.

"Chen Ziming, can you talk nonsense?"

Compared with the previous worries, what An Rongqiao really cares about is this.

No matter how good it is, it is nothing more than smearing him and damaging his reputation, and there will be no substantial harm.

But if Chen Ziming tells the secrets he has in his hands, An Rongqiao's career will come to an end.

He must not let this happen!

Strangled all danger in swaddling clothes!

"I want Chen Ziming to die, the sooner I die, the better, it's best to die tonight!" An Rongqiao's fingers caressed the teacup, but his eyes were as indifferent as a wolf.

"Are you sure you want me to do this?"

Sitting across the coffee table was a man in a black hat, who asked in a low voice.

"Yes, that's it." An Rongqiao's tone was resolute.

"You have to think clearly, I will send you one last thing, if I say that I will help you kill Chen Ziming, there will be no more relations between us."

"You're sure you're going to waste one last chance on this." The man asked, tilting his head and turning his fingers around the teacup.

"That's right, the last chance is here!"

An Rongqiao took a deep breath and said lightly: "This matter is over, let's clear up." You don't owe me anything anymore, and I don't ask you to do anything anymore. ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

With that, the man got up and walked outside.

"Chen Ziming, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust, if you want to blame, blame you for knowing too much!" An Rongqiao looked out the window at the sky that had begun to darken, his eyes were deep and murderous.

……

Night.

Detention room of Jinling Garrison Department.

This is where prisoners are temporarily detained, with spacious cells and separate private rooms.

Of course, the type of residence of the prisoner depends on the nature of the crime he committed.

Of course, Chen Ziming lives in a single room.

In fact, when he was sent here, he didn't think too much about it.

After all, compared to death, where you are imprisoned is simply a matter that can be ignored.

"Will I get out alive?"

"Senior Officer An, what do you think? Won't you get me out? ”

"As long as you help me hire a good lawyer, I will definitely be able to reduce my charges, if it is just manslaughter, and I will pay some money, this matter should be settled!"

"I don't want to die yet!"

Just when he was thinking wildly and his face was full of sadness, a figure suddenly appeared outside the cell, and in the dim light, the whole person looked very tall.

"Who are you?"

Chen Ziming, who was thinking about his thoughts, seemed to be startled, and suddenly jumped up from the wooden bed.

The moment he saw the other party's face, his heart suddenly chuckled, and the words on his lips turned decisively into asking who you are.

"Whew!"

It's a pity that the other party didn't mean to talk to Chen Ziming at all, and when he saw that it was the target person, he directly raised his arm, and a silver needle shot out, hitting Chen Ziming's arm between the flashes.

"You ......"

Chen Ziming suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his arm, and then his limbs became numb, and then even speaking became very difficult, and his breathing began to be a little short.

He desperately tried to scratch his throat, but found that he couldn't.

At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, whether he was going to die.

The perpetrator did not mean to turn around and leave, but stood silently outside, observing the tragic situation of Chen Ziming who was about to die.

Almost at the same time, however, there was a rush of footsteps behind him.

The man changed color on the spot.

"Hehe, there's really an inner ghost!"

It was Chu Mufeng and Liang Dongcai who rushed in with a group of armed police officers.

Liang Dongcai showed a surprised expression after seeing who the man in front of him was: "An Liuqi, it's you?" ”

"Director Liang, you ...... What do you guys do here? An Liuqi, whose identity was revealed at once, forced himself to calm down, and asked pretending to be the same.

"What do we do?"

Liang Dongcai glanced at Chen Ziming, who was speechless and full of pain in the cell, and asked coldly: "I should ask you this, what are you doing?" What did you do to Chen Ziming? ”

"I ......"

An Liuqi's brain was spinning at high speed, and the lie came as soon as he opened his mouth: "I didn't do anything to him, and I don't know what happened to him, I just happened to come over, but I didn't expect to see him like this." ”

"Director Liang, hurry up and save people!"

There is no need for An Liuqi to say this, Chu Mufeng had already asked people to immediately open the cell the moment he appeared, rushed in, and then began to check in front of everyone.

"It's poisoned!"

After Chu Mufeng saw the silver needle, he stood up, stared at An Liuqi and shouted: "This silver needle is what you shot just now, don't think about quibbling, because we have all seen it with our own eyes, hand over the antidote immediately!" ”

Watched?

Thinking that Liang Dongcai and the others rushed in so quickly just now, An Liuqi was relieved.

It seems that tonight is a game here, and the funny thing is that I still think that I am doing it very secretively, but I don't know that every move is under the control of others.

If that were the case, there would be no need to quibble.

"Director Liang, I won't say anything." An Liuqi lowered his head and lowered his eyelids and said.

"Hold it down!"

Liang Dongcai shouted in a deep voice, and some of his subordinates stepped forward to arrest An Liuqi and escort him away.

"How's the man? If it doesn't work, send it to the hospital quickly, and I'll force An Liuqi to come up with the antidote quickly!

Standing outside the cell, Liang Dongcai looked a little anxious.

"It's fine!"

Chu Mufeng didn't mean much panic, looking at Chen Ziming who fell to the ground and was unconscious, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then in front of everyone, he kicked Chen Ziming's thigh.

"Oops!"

Chen Ziming screamed in pain.

"Nothing? Loaded? ”

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

It shouldn't be, half of the silver needle is still exposed, which means that the silver needle stabbed Chen Ziming's body, and he was definitely poisoned, but how to explain this?

Chen Ziming, who should be on the verge of death at any time, jumped up and jumped alive.

"Old Chu?" Liang Dongcai was also stunned.

"Lao Liang, you take someone out first, I'll explain this to you later." Chu Mufeng said casually.

"Good!"

Liang Dongcai, who knew that there was no inside story about this, ordered everyone to go out and leave the place to Chu Mufeng after clearing the place

When there were only two people left in this cell, the corners of Chu Mufeng's mouth rose obliquely.

"Chen Ziming, what do you say now?"
