Chapter 131: Coercion
The short man in front of him must be their head. As he spoke, everyone else seemed to be looking down at the ground, and no one except the Japanese man spoke.
I felt as if I was a clown jumping around in front of them and making them look at my jokes.
To be honest, I, Shao Feng, have never encountered such a situation in the past few years as a police officer. They were so deceitful that they didn't treat me like a man sent by the state.
I jumped up and grabbed the little man by the collar. Just as I was making this gesture, several Indonesians sitting next to me also stood up and looked at me directly.
"What, you still want to fight?" The little man looked at me contemptuously and said disdainfully, "Look at how many of you have, and then look at how many of us have." Go back to the country, leave this case alone, it has nothing to do with you anymore. ”
I didn't let go, I didn't speak, I just stared at him.
Ouyang Qian, who was standing on the side, also whispered to me, "Team Shao, let's go quickly...... Do you really want to fight them? ”
At this time, the Japanese man who had not spoken came over, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Friend, okay, let go, if there is anything we can sit down and say, there is no need to do anything." ”
I let go of the little man's hand, and now I felt a pain in my hand because of the force I had just exerted.
"So," I said, turning my head to the Japanese, "do you think you have a reason?" ”
"Hehe, Officer Shao, don't talk like that. We are all here for the truth. That day, Shao Mu personally told us that he did not transport drugs, and that a friend of his helped to do it. But who can prove what he said? No one. He smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a treacherous expression.
"So, you simply think that it is impossible to believe the words of a suspect?" I asked angrily.
He laughed and scratched his head, and did not give a positive answer to my question, saying:
"Officer Shao, if my guess is correct, this person named Shao Mu should have something to do with you. That's why you subconsciously think that he hasn't committed any sin. Isn't that also a dereliction of duty? ”
Listening to his words, I was a little stunned. This person...... Did he know something about me?
It stands to reason that Shao Mu has a relationship with me, and only my parents and the director of the bureau know about it, and it is even more impossible for people outside to know about it......
"You don't think we're blindly trusting the power of the suspect, but I think at the same time, you're not blindly trusting the power of the suspect, are you?" He smiled and looked at me as if he had everything under control.
"I ...... I'm not blindly believing. Please figure it out. Since the people above have sent us to negotiate with you, it means ...... "It's my turn to do so this time."
"What does it mean?" This man named Zuo Cun seems to have this strange smile on his face all the time. This smile that seems to see through everything makes me feel very uncomfortable.
I swallowed. His rhetorical question suddenly made me feel as if it was all just a formality, as the short man had just said. The superiors were not really interested in what the truth of the matter was.
He said, "Yes, it doesn't mean anything. Those so-called superiors of yours don't care about the life or death of that person named Shao Mu. What they care about is whether the Indonesian side can properly investigate this matter and then give an explanation to the news media, not to give an explanation to the truth. ”
"What's more, if the information I learned is not wrong, you should still be Shao Mu's relatives, to be precise, you are Shao Mu's younger brother, your biological brother. And it just so happened that your superiors actually sent the suspect's biological brother to investigate the case, isn't it a joke in itself? ”
"Do you understand?" He looked at me, who was surprised and couldn't say a word, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
I lowered my head and looked helplessly at the floor.
It turns out that this is the case, no wonder they directly sent Shao Mu to the death row prison, no wonder they asked me not to meddle in this case again, even if I want to know the truth of the matter, even if I want to return Shao Mu to a clean slate.
But it's too late, and the act of sending Shao Mu to death row has already shown that they already think that Shao Mu is a criminal transporting drugs. There are no excuses, no scapegoats, and no framing of such claims.
Shao Mu has already been sentenced to death, and although this has not yet been tried by the courts, and although the matter has not yet been put on the cards, it has almost become a matter of internal determination for the Indonesian police.
In other words, on my trip to Indonesia, I may not even be able to see Shao Mu's face. Even if he used to behave badly, even if he was idle and unskilled, he was my biological brother after all. What's more, I was entrusted not only by the director and superiors, but also by my parents and myself.
"Then ......" I asked them in an almost pleading tone at this time, "Then can you tell me which prison Shao Mu is locked in?" ”
The people around me looked at me indifferently.
Shao Muta...... It was my biological brother who disappeared when he was 15 years old. It wasn't until recently that I learned about his whereabouts, and I learned that he was in Indonesia, and he was arrested by you and sentenced to death. If I ......"
I paused, and continued, "If I don't see him one last time, I'll probably never see him again." ”
"Please. Tell me. I said.
At this moment, the short Indonesian stood up, whispered a few words in his ear to the man sitting next to him, and then raised his head and stared at me.
"You, Officer Shao, I can tell you, however, there is one condition." He spoke in his English with a strange accent.
As soon as I heard that there was hope of agreeing, I immediately raised my head: "Say, what conditions." ”
"As long as you promise me that you will never meddle in this case again, then I will tell you where the prison where your brother is being held. However, if I find out that you are still secretly investigating, I will immediately notify my people over there and ask them to transfer Shao Mu from that prison and ......"
"Then, you two brothers will never see each other again."
