"Because... Because...... Xu Ningzhi...... She was afraid of getting into trouble and wanted to stay out of the matter, so she lied when you visited her shop and forced me to cooperate with her."

Pang Jitong never thought that the gap would come faster and easier than he imagined. Liu Zijun may not even have seen any signs of Xu Ningzhi betraying her.

Hearing Liu Zijun's words, Fu Liangtao's eyes turned cold, because in order to get rid of the crime, Liu Zijun suddenly put all the responsibility on Xu Ningzhi. However, Liu Zijun obviously did not consider saying this, and it could not change the fact that she gave false testimony at all.

Liu Zijun, she is an adult with a sense of autonomy.

Fu Liangtao looked at the poor Liu Zijun intently, and asked the question again gently and tolerantly: "So, why didn't you tell us the truth?"

Liu Zijun was stunned, but he didn't expect that the question was still the same one. Fu Liangtao's determined eyes suddenly gave rise to a strange chill in Liu Zijun's heart.

When Liu Zijun didn't know how to react, Pang Jitong on the side asked, "Then why is Zhou Muqing's death related to Xu Jingjia?"

Liu Zijun lowered his head to avoid the sight of the two, and was speechless again, the direction facing the whole person unconsciously deviated in the direction of the door of the confession room, and Dingqing looked at the clock in the confession room.

Fu Liangtao turned his head to look at Pang Ji with warning, and then turned to Liu Zijun and said, "As long as you confess to us what you know, you don't have to stay in this confession room all the time."

/* Did anyone else reveal anything to them during her consideration? Otherwise, why didn't they mention it to her just now? */

Because of Fu Liangtao's words, there was a crack in Xu Ning's heart. She recalled the scene when she met Liu Zijun and Cheng Qiao in the aisle just now, and she was more and more unsure whether keeping quiet was the best choice for her.

Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Ningzhi's face with satisfaction, and dropped another bombshell at the right time, saying, "If this is not the case, why did you delete the files related to Xu Jingjia together after Zhou Muqing's death?

I want to confirm with you, is this what you mean, or is that what Liu Zijun means?"

After hearing this, Xu Ningzhi replied, "Liu Zijun's relationship with me is definitely better than you imagined." This was not so much said to Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong, but more like trying to convince himself.

However, everyone present knew that these words could not play any role in reassuring Xu Ningzhi's heart, nor could they prevent the seeds of doubt from growing rapidly in her heart. In particular, Xu Ningzhi didn't know what evidence Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong still had in their hands.

After Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong left the confession room, Xu Ningzhi's composure built in his heart gradually fell apart. After a while, I heard her say, "Deleting the files related to Xu Jingjia is a joint decision between me and Liu Zijun. Zhou Muqing's matter really has nothing to do with us. We don't know about Xu Jingjia, except for some things that we didn't tell the truth, we really didn't hide anything else."

Fu Liangtao stared at Xu Ningzhi and smiled, and this smile made Xu Ningzhi's heart furious. Fu Liangtao said to Xu Ningzhi, "Miss Xu, your heart for Liu Zijun's protection is really ...... It's beyond words!"

Xu Ningzhi chuckled in his heart, he was not Liu Zijun's spokesperson, how could he assert that Liu Zijun didn't know anything else. To others, these words must be more like there is no silver here.

Fu Liangtao looked at Xu Ningzhi, who was in doubt, and was very satisfied with this effect, so he said, "I heard that you thought of lying to us because you were afraid of getting into trouble. Can you tell me what you're afraid of getting into trouble?"

Fu Liangtao used a polite question, but when he heard these words in Xu Ning's ears, there was only deterrence left. Moreover, if the previous ones were still speculating, at this moment, Xu Ningzhi was sure that Liu Zijun must have said something to them.

Xu Ningzhi looked at Fu Liangtao, his eyes showed resentment, but a smile rose on his lips, and said, "Fu sir, it's really a good plan!"

Fu Liangtao was noncommittal to Xu Ningzhi's words, and then asked, "What about the answer?" Although after knowing this, the relationship between Xu Ningzhi and Liu Zijun may no longer be there, Fu Liangtao does not feel that the responsibility for this matter is on him.

Xu Ningzhi kept his mouth shut, and did not confide in more information as Fu Liangtao expected. I saw Xu Ningzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Fu sir, don't try to deceive me, there are some things, even if we don't have to discuss, we know that the other party will definitely not say it."

Fu Liangtao's smile also deepened, and he teased, "Like what? For example, harassing Xu Jingjia?"

Xu Ningzhi reacted in an instant, and said affirmatively, "Fu sir, you are really lying to me, neither Liu Zijun nor Cheng Qiao can say that. Because ......"

/*"Harassing Xu Jingjia can't be counted as something we did." */

The same question, the third time he heard the same meaning and firm answer, Fu Liangtao couldn't help but think, in the case that the three of them did not collude, the three of them still answered the same, would it show the authenticity of the answer?

Fu Liangtao looked at Cheng Qiao, who was subconsciously holding the necklace pendant with his hand, and secretly thought in his heart that the long wait still played a certain role in her.

Cheng Qiao, as Fu Liangtao expected, kept pretending to be stupid, and implied that Fu Liangtao did not have any evidence in his hands. Under close observation, Fu Liangtao determined that Cheng Qiao's peace of mind was not pretending.

Fu Liangtao's eyes became fierce, and he said to Cheng Qiao, "Don't think that we have no evidence. Miss Cheng, did you delete all the files related to Xu Jingjia four days after Zhou Muqing's death?" After a pause, what Fu Liangtao said made Cheng Qiao feel that Fu Liangtao had almost read his thoughts: "You haven't counted this matter with Xu Ningzhi and Liu Zijun, if we don't have evidence, how do we know?"

Fu Liangtao watched Cheng Qiao's reaction intently, and said again: "Another point, your mobile phone bill records prove that after Zhou Muqing's death, you have no contact with Xu Ningzhi and Liu Zijun. It's hard to think you're doing this to avoid suspicion."

In Fu Liangtao's words, Cheng Qiao seemed to be the most suspicious person. However, Cheng Qiao wanted to distinguish in his heart, since the three of them were caught here by Fu Liangtao at the same time, and guarded and questioned them separately in this way, Fu Liangtao regarded the three of them as a group.

Importantly, the information revealed in Fu Liangtao's questioning has always regarded the three of them as a group, rather than treating them independently. Therefore, she knows very well that as long as one of the three of them is suspected, the three of them will not be able to get out of it. So, Cheng Qiao said, "We are just worrying that we will become the next Zhou Muqing. We can't afford to offend anyone."

Fu Liangtao and Pang Ji stood at the window of the corridor on the 22nd floor of the police building, watching the backs of the three of them gradually drift away.

Liu Zijun stepped forward and wanted to hold Xu Ningzhi's hand, but was waved away. Xu Ningzhi's pace became more and more urgent, Liu Zijun followed closely, and the two left Cheng Qiao far behind.

Pang Jitong couldn't help but turn his head sideways and asked Fu Liangtao, "Sir Tao, you just let them go like this, it can't really be because of Cheng Qiao's words, right?" Pang Jitong naturally knew that this would not be the reason why Fu Liangtao let them go, but he was puzzled by Fu Liangtao's actions.

Fu Liangtao smiled when he heard this, and responded, "If that's the case, why did I arrest them in the first place?"

Pang Jitong recalled the sentence he had asked Fu Liangtao who was the prisoner before returning to the confession room, so he turned his head sideways, carefully observed Fu Liangtao's expression, and said, "I think you specially reminded Brother Cong and me to mention the purpose of that warning to them...... Do you want them to think they're considered suspects?"

Fu Liangtao nodded and praised with satisfaction: "Yes, it's not stupid when you're willing to use your brain."

Hearing this awkward comment, Pang Jitong frowned, and there was a faint grievance in his heart, but Pang Jitong had to admit that he got along with Fu Liangtao a lot, and because of Fu Liangtao's reasoning ability, he seemed to have really become a little unuser-like.

When Pang Jitong led Liu Zijun to meet Xu Ningzhi and Cheng Qiao on the forked aisle, Pang Jitong and Huer understood Fu Liangtao's intentions.

Through ingenious design, Fu Liangtao applied the classic example of Fu Yi's theory of impossible reality, "The Prisoner's Dilemma", to the three of them. This "prisoner's dilemma" was not suitable for this situation, but Fu Liangtao used a little caution to make them feel the possible conflict between the three of them.

Whether they see through it or not, this is an unsolvable dilemma for them as insiders. Because if one person speaks, the rest have to speak.

Furthermore, the three met in the aisle and were unable to communicate, and each was taken to a different confession room. The unknown future can make the hour-long waiting process extremely painful. After this hour, no matter who Fu Liangtao was the first to attack, the difficulty of getting useful information from their mouths would be greatly reduced.

Because it's been an hour, who knows if he'll be the last one to be asked?

Fu Liangtao deliberately asked Pang Jitong and Brother Cong to remind them of the warning in the morning, which played a negative role at this time. Obviously, they don't have to say anything, so it's the best for all three of them. However, if everyone else says something, especially if the finger is pointed at themselves, then they must prove their innocence, whether they have a ghost in their hearts or not.

The more anxious they are, the more information they will get. And the two of them put pressure and a comforting reminder, naturally wanting to be the best catalyst for them to confess.

"However, we haven't been able to get any information from them......" Pang Jitong said involuntarily.

Fu Liangtao then replied, "Their respective confessions seem to have said nothing, but in fact they have said everything."
