Chapter Ninety-Five: Before Dawn
Long Night Division, interrogation room.
Zhuang Dao sat on the chair expressionlessly.
"I won't say anything until my lawyer arrives."
He only repeated the sentence once, and remained expressionless no matter what kind of inquiry he faced.
The door to the interrogation room was pushed open.
Zhou Liu walked in with a stack of documents in his hand, and said to the interrogator who walked out: "There is something wrong with the surveillance video, remember to deal with it." β
The two alternated positions, and Zhou Liu sat opposite Zhuang Dao, under the table, with his legs folded, and opened the file and threw it on the table.
"Let's see."
"Fresh autopsy report."
Zhou Liu said expressionlessly: "Zhuang Sheng, he died a miserable death, and there were no less than ten wounds on his body. β
Zhuang Dao's expression changed for the first time, and he raised his eyes and noticed a red dot of light on the camera in the interrogation room that represented a malfunction.
Immediately, he leaned back in his chair and asked in a low voice, "Who moved the hand?" β
Zhou Liu asked rhetorically: "You want to know?" Does this concern you? β
"I just want to know who killed my brother." Zhuang Dao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "As a family member of the victim, I am qualified to know. β
"Families of victims?" Zhou Liu couldn't help laughing, she turned her face sideways to reveal a narrow expression, and then glanced at Zhuang Dao: "His intention to murder ordinary citizens is already conclusive evidence...... The bow and arrow shot at Ruan Qingxue's thigh is ironclad evidence, and it is also stained with fingerprints belonging to Zhuang Sheng, he is a criminal, Mr. Zhuang, your brother, is a criminal who was killed, he just got the verdict he deservesβand what I want to know now is, why did he kill the poor brother and sister, was it behind it? β
Zhuang Daopi snorted without smiling and did not make any answer.
Zhou Liu continued: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll check it slowly...... You will be detained in the Long Nights Division, going through various formalities, the maximum detention time is forty-eight hours, and before that I am not sure you will get rid of all traces, I have applied for a search warrant, investigated and forged evidence of your last place of residence, and conducted a full and careful search of your home. β
"Mr. Zhuang, you'd better pray that your home is cleaned up enough, otherwise even if I find even a single hair belonging to Zhuang Sheng from the sofa in your house, I can directly accuse your brothers of conspiring to murder the citizens of Great Xia as physical evidence!"
She stood up against the table, leaving a word of oppression that was not an exhortation: "If you take the initiative to turn yourself in at this time, confess and be lenient, and maybe you can get a small reduction in sentence, do you want to try?" β
Zhuang Dao's fat body trembled slightly, his fist on the table was already tightly clenched, he lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes rolled up, the fat on his face trembled with the tense muscles, and his resentful eyes stared at Zhou Liu, eager to cut the other party with a thousand knives.
This response is already the best answer.
It seems that he really left some traces.
Zhou Liu thought to himself, this time I will never let you go!
But at this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open.
A lawyer wearing gold wire glasses walked into the room with the police officer leading the way, he pushed his glasses, and said flatly: "I am the top lawyer of the Golden Eagle Law Firm, and my surname is Dong." β
Zhou Liu glanced at the lawyer surnamed Dong, as the captain here, it was not the first time she had dealt with a lawyer, and she knew the difficulties of the other party.
Most of the top lawyers are wolves who have lost their humanity and delve into the essence of the law in order to drill holes.
However, no matter what means the lawyer used, she had the means to keep the person here for at least 24 hours, which was enough to apply for a search warrant for a round of searches.
Zhou Liu was about to leave the interrogation room, but heard Lawyer Dong speak: "Team Zhou, please don't leave in a hurry, I have something to tell you here." β
"I'm busy."
"Are you going to apply for a search warrant? If it's for this, then you don't have to. Lawyer Dong pushed his glasses: "Because I have already brought the real people behind the scenes." β
"What did you say?" Zhou Liu turned his head suddenly.
"I said, I have found the real murderer, and the other party has turned himself in." Lawyer Dong repeated: "He is now under trial, do you need to go next door to have a look?" β
Zhou Liu slammed the door open and walked to another interrogation room.
Through the transparent glass, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the room, his face pale, his head bowed, confessing to all his crimes.
"Who is he?" Zhou Liu turned his head with a cold gaze.
"He is the secretary of the board of directors of Daosheng Group...... is also the culprit, in order to raise the stock price of Daosheng Group and multiply his wealth, he secretly hired a lot of killers to get rid of the group's competitors, and this time Zhuang Sheng made a killing, but also to seize the undeveloped land held by the Ruan family. Lawyer Dong explained simply and clearly.
"Do you think I'll believe that?" Zhou Liu asked.
"Now he has confessed to his crimes." Lawyer Dong pushed his glasses, his smile was full of confidence and indifference: "Team Zhou, you are a member of the Long Night Division, you need to respect the rules of the system, and you must also respect the judiciary, since the real murderer has been caught, the so-called suspect should also be released." β
"Zhuang Dao and Zhuang Sheng are brothers." Zhou Liu said word by word: "I suspect that Zhuang Dao is also an accomplice. β
"But the testimony of the real murderer did not mention Chairman Zhuang at all." Lawyer Dong motioned for her to listen to the interrogation.
Through a layer of glass, the middle-aged man who was the secretary of the board of directors just said, "Everything is my personal action...... It has nothing to do with the rest of the Daosheng Group, it's all my ......."
Zhou Liu's fists were clenched, even if he still had to investigate, there was no way to directly investigate Zhuang Dao beyond the testimony of the real murderer, so it was impossible for the search warrant applied for to be passed.
There is no doubt that the man in the interrogation room at this time is the scapegoat.
She's seen it more than once.
It's just that scapegoats are also divided into low and high.
The scapegoat in front of him, who was afraid of being the most advanced breeder, was ready to take all the risks for his employer early on, and arranged the position in advance, just to throw it out as a stand-in at this time.
There is also the assistance of a top lawyer, but I am afraid that all the details of the secret have been taken care of.
Zhou Liu just watched and listened to the people inside say everything he knew little by little, almost everything clearly, and it took him half an hour to explain his hired murder and dirty cooperation, including the whereabouts of the flow of money, every single item, and many details that sounded extremely true.
It would be strange to say that he was not involved.
Zhou Liu couldn't find the flaw, at least, he couldn't find it in a short time.
At this time, the door of another interrogation room opened, and Zhuang Dao walked out with a pot-bellied belly, different from the previous resentful look, at this time he returned to the appearance of a smiling Buddha.
Lawyer Dong handed over a cigar, cut off the cigar head, and took out a lighter to light it.
Zhuang Dao took a deep breath of his cigar, the cigar was not in his lungs, and he slowly exhaled the smoke, not like the aftermath of the catastrophe, but more like a public contempt.
Zhou Liu watched the fat pig walk up to her step by step, and she said, "Do you think you can escape like this?" You think you can get rid of it all this way? β
"You have to talk about evidence, Sir Zhou...... If you talk like this, I'm going to sue you for violating my reputation. Zhuang Dao flatly denied it, waved his cigar, and waved the blazing tobacco in front of Zhou Liu, as if a demonstration: "The murderer is not me, you have arrested the wrong person, shouldn't you give me an apology?" β
Zhou Liu narrowed his eyes, his expression cold and contemptuous.
Zhuang Dao smiled happily: "Forget it, I don't care about you...... Not to mention that you can't do anything. β
He deliberately approached and said in a voice that only Zhou Liu could hear: "Even if it's really me, what can you do?" I have a group of tens of billions in my hands, how many people are alive and dead, and when I go to Shangjing and win the development rights of the film industry around Nanling, the whole Nanling will not let me call the wind and rain...... You want to stare at me, can you stare at me? β
He stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Liu's shoulder: "Sir Zhou, you are too young and too weak, and the position you finally picked up has no power, so don't lose it." β
Zhuang Dao left, leaving behind a domineering back.
Many people watched him leave, no one spoke, no one stopped him, just Xu Yi stared in silence, his eyes were like swords and swords, but just his gaze was not enough to kill.
The old people in the Long Night Division who are bound by the rules, everyone knows that he is the one behind the scenes.
Everyone waited to take the real murderer to court, but they were busy all night, staring at the Daosheng Group for so long, and finally caught the fox's tail, and the result was ......
Caught up with the scrubbing.
Nothing can be done but watch.
"Just let him go?" Someone said unwillingly.
"What else can I do?" Alley flicked his tail unhappily: "Can you still kill him on the spot?" This guy is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has brought so many bodyguards. β
"It shouldn't be an ordinary bodyguard, to be honest, it's more like a border mercenary licking blood from a knife edge."
"Let him go." Zhou Liu was surprisingly calm: "It's true that the other party is more prepared, but we are still too passive." β
"I must ...... next time," Liu Xinghan clenched his fists.
"There's no next time." Zhou Liu shook his head and also turned to leave.
The others looked at her back, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but look gloomy, and thought that the leader was disheartened, thinking that this time the blow was definitely very heavy on her.
It's just that no one noticed that from the time he saw the other party walk out of the Long Night Division, Zhou Liu's expression didn't change from beginning to end.
There may be unwillingness.
But the initial anger and unwillingness have turned into a kind of indifferent detachment and relief.
She looked into the other's gaze as if she were looking at a corpse.
It's a pity.
She thought to herself.
I would have taken you to court with my own hands.
Since you refuse to take the path of justice, there is only one road left to hell waiting for you.
