Chapter 338 Torture to Extract Confessions
All of them were taken to the police station for interrogation.

The first person to confess was not the hired workers such as the butcher, carpenter, and blacksmith, but the killer Zhao.

Now that he was caught, Killer Zhao knew he couldn't escape. He knew that his crimes were serious and his hands were stained with a lot of blood.

So he thought about confessing first and getting lenient treatment.

If he continued to be stubborn and didn't speak, he would be beaten sooner or later.

After all, there is no law prohibiting torture, which means that force can be used to extract confessions.

After all, there are enemy agents and spies behind the scenes. If we are not allowed to use force, how long will the interrogation take?

Torture was written into the Criminal Law in 79, and it was not until 2017 that it was explicitly prohibited by law.

Rather than being forced to confess later, it is better to confess early to avoid suffering physical pain in vain.

"What a pity. I thought you were a tough guy. It's a good opportunity for you to try out the new torture instruments from our police station."

When Killer Zhao heard what the police said, he was even more glad that he was the first to confess.

After a while, Killer Zhao was so dry-mouthed that he finally told the whole story.

"Comrade police officer, I have told you everything I know. Do you think I can still be given a lighter sentence?"

Killer Zhao leaned forward slightly and looked at the policeman in front of him hopefully.

The police nodded amiably. "Of course, you also know that those who confess will be punished leniently, while those who resist will be punished severely. Since you cooperate with us so well, I'm sure you will be given a lighter punishment."

"Really? Then I can get a few years less in prison?"

"This requires further investigation. The specific number of years of reduced sentence will be handled by the judicial department. We will submit your positive performance to them."

"Really? Thank you so much, police comrades." Killer Zhao said happily.

"You're welcome. Okay, you can go out first."

"Oh, that's good."

Killer Zhao was taken away by the police beside him, and his originally amiable face changed in an instant.

Several policemen looked down upon Killer Zhao and watched everything he entertained.

"He has committed so many crimes that he deserves to be shot, but he is still thinking about reducing his sentence. Are you kidding me? You regret it now. Why didn't you do it earlier?"

Killer Zhao had no idea that he was being kept in the dark and was still wishful thinking that he could continue to live, thinking that going to jail would be enough.

It's ridiculous that when a killer doesn't dare to kill people himself and instead hires others, his ending is destined to be tragic.

When people get old, their hearts become kind, they can no longer lift a knife, and they are not far from death.

Next, the police interrogated the butcher, carpenter and others.

They were also in a panic and spoke without thinking. Before the police even started questioning them, they took the initiative to tell the whole story without holding back at all.

"Comrade police, what do you think will be the sentence for people like us?" Several people asked as they left the interrogation room.

"The specific circumstances require further investigation. What is clear now is that you will all go to jail. As for how long you will be in jail, it depends on the specific circumstances."

The police said directly that they were not worried that they would riot, after all, this was a police station.

A few people wanted to ask more questions, but the police next to them took them away.

Among these people, the worst sufferer must be the butcher. He was clearly instructed to be intimidated, but who made him hold a knife and appear in front of a group of students?

What was originally an incident of intimidation targeting an individual has now become a threat to all students.

He just took the money for scaring people, but was convicted of attempted murder.

"Bring Lai Yicheng here."

After a while, Lai Yicheng was taken into the interrogation room.

"Lai Yicheng, tell the truth. We know everything about you. If you confess now, you may be able to get a reduced sentence," said the police.

"What do I need to confess? Police comrade, I haven't done anything wrong. Why are you arresting me?" Lai Yicheng asked knowingly, crossing his legs.

"You didn't commit any crime? If you really didn't commit any crime, why would we arrest you? The killer has already confessed everything. You are the employer. What's the point of being stubborn?"

Lai Yicheng squinted his eyes and said stubbornly: "Comrade police, I don't agree with what you said. What do you mean by stubborn? What should I confess about something I didn't do?"

"Maybe that killer deliberately framed me. I don't even know him. He's slandering me. Police comrade, you have to help me!"

Lai Yicheng still refused to admit it. Unlike those who did not understand the law, he did.

But just because he knows the law, it is even more impossible for him to admit that he hired someone to kill someone.

As long as he denied it and waited for his father to come and rescue him, everything would be fine. It was a pity that Li Kailang was not killed.

"boom!"

"Lai Yicheng, you are still trying to make excuses. What's the point? The evidence is irrefutable. It will do you no good to keep making excuses!"

"Oh, evidence? Police comrade, if you have any evidence, just show it out." Lai Yicheng said stubbornly.

The police held up the evidence beside him: "The killer said that you gave him the 300 yuan and Li Kailang's personal information."

Lai Yicheng: "Police comrade, please don't wrongly accuse a good person. How could I give such a thing to others?"

"Am I crazy? 300 yuan, why should I spend that much money on a good meal? Why should I give it to others?"

"Besides, the handwriting on this document is not mine. I don't recognize it at all. How can you be sure it's mine?"

"You!" The police were irritated by Lai Yicheng's rogue attitude.

No matter what evidence the police presented, Lai Yicheng refused to admit it.

But this is also thanks to Lai Yicheng's cautiousness. Everything he gave out could not directly refer to him personally.

Although Lai Yicheng acted so impressively, he was actually very panicked, scared, and regretful.

"If I had known I would not have moved out. If I had lived in the compound, there would be no way the police would have come to arrest me."

"If I were at home, Dad would definitely be able to find some connections to help me get out. I wonder if Dad knows this now?"

The police looked at Lai Yicheng who looked calm, and they really had no solution. Or rather, they had a solution, but it was not so direct.

"Boy, I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin. Well, since you are so stubborn, I want to see how stubborn you can be!" the police shouted.

Then he looked at his companions and said, "I see this kid is still resisting. How about we just do something straightforward?"

His companion understood what he meant and said with some concern: "I looked at his file and his father is a leader in the Ministry of Metallurgy. If we force him to confess, will it be possible?"

The meaning is self-evident. I am just worried that I will be blamed by my superiors.

"What are you afraid of? He is the leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy, not our Public Security Bureau. He has no control over us. Besides, we are doing serious work."

"Don't even mention forcing a confession. This kid is just resisting and refusing to admit it. We have reasonable suspicion that he hired someone to kill someone."

"Ah! That's true!" The policeman next to him suddenly realized.

The two men looked at each other and suddenly chuckled. Just then a batch of new torture instruments were delivered.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the interrogation room changed and became somewhat gloomy and terrifying.

"Hehe." The two couldn't help but smile.

"What do you want to do? What do you want to do?" Lai Yicheng was frightened by their ferocious looks and his body trembled.

His eyes widened as he stared at the two men in horror, struggling desperately to free himself from the handcuffs, but to no avail.

"Boy, aren't you very capable? Aren't you quibbling? I hope you can get through this!" The policeman chuckled.

"It's a good opportunity to try out all the torture instruments that I didn't use just now on you."

"Kid, stop struggling and just enjoy yourself." The policeman pressed his body on the table.

"What do you want to do? You are breaking the law. My father is a leader in the department. You cannot torture me to extract a confession. Otherwise, when I get out, I will sue you!"

"Good boy, you actually dare to threaten us. It seems that if I don't give you some shocking information, you won't know how to be afraid."

"Ah——" Lai Yicheng's scream echoed in the interrogation room.

The butcher, carpenter and others were so frightened that they trembled and lost all sleepiness. They looked in the direction of the interrogation room in horror.

"Fortunately, I confessed early, otherwise I would be in trouble." Killer Zhao patted his chest with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah——" Lai Yicheng's scream resounded through the sky.

"No, no!"

"dad!"

"No, I confess, I confess, I confess everything!"

Police: "Why are you complaining? You didn't do anything wrong. What do you have to complain about?" "Shut his mouth and stop him from yelling. It hurts my ears. I have to treat him well, kid. There is still plenty of time."

The policeman next to him took a rag, covered Lai Yicheng's mouth with it, and then began to force a confession.

"Wuwuwu~" Lai Yicheng's screams echoed in the silent corridor of the detention room.

The scream was clearly a faint one, but it was so loud in their ears that it made them shudder.

After a while, the two policemen’s hands became sore from beating each other, so they put down their interrogation “tools”.

As for Lai Yicheng, he was breathing intermittently. If his chest hadn't been rising and falling, he would have most likely been dead.

Lai Yicheng was beaten all over his body with wounds from punches, kicks, beatings, whippings, and other injuries.

Lai Yicheng couldn't stand the torture at the beginning, but his mouth was blocked by a torn towel, so he couldn't even beg for mercy.

I can only take the beating unilaterally.

"Boy, be honest this time. I asked you to confess but you didn't. Why did you insist on doing this to us? If you had confessed earlier, you wouldn't have been spared this physical pain."

"Ah!" The police patted Lai Yicheng, who was beaten unconscious.

"You see, this guy has a problem with his brain, ah." A policeman shook his head helplessly, as if he felt sorry for him.

Another police officer handed Lai Yicheng a pen and paper and said, "Write it yourself. Write down everything that happened."

Lai Yicheng raised his hand tremblingly, then immediately put it down without any strength.

"Oh, that's so troublesome." The policeman took Lai Yicheng's wrist with two fingers with disgust and placed it on the table.

"Ugh, it's sticky." The policeman shook his hands as if trying to shake off the sweat on his fingers.

"Hurry up and write it."

Lai Yicheng once again tremblingly picked up the pen and began to write down what happened.

After a long while, Lai Yicheng finally finished writing down what happened and lowered his hands helplessly.

The police immediately picked up the charge sheet and read it carefully.

The information matched that from other people, and Lai Yicheng admitted that he was the one who hired someone to kill Li Kailang.

"Hey, it would have been better if you did this earlier. You got beaten for nothing." The policeman complained and picked up the red ink beside him.

"Sign and seal. You signed and sealed this voluntarily. We didn't force you to do it. Think about it carefully."

"If you want to regret it, you can."

The policeman patted Lai Yicheng on the back. He said so, but the strength of his pat showed otherwise.

If Lai Yicheng really dared to go back on his word, he would definitely be beaten severely again and forced to sign the agreement "voluntarily".

"I'll sign, I'll sign. Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" Lai Yicheng suddenly felt a surge of strength in his body, and regardless of the pain, he quickly signed his name.

"Come on, that's it. It would have been great if it had been like this earlier. It's no use getting beaten up."

The policeman waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, you have nothing to do here, take him out."

After saying that, the police officer nearby forcibly took Lai Yicheng away regardless of how much pain he was in.

"Captain, what should we do next?" asked the policeman on the side.

"What else can we do? Send him to prison tomorrow morning, and those people will send you to prison too. As for the killer, let the prison handle it."

"Wouldn't this be against the rules?"

"Rules? What time is it now? The tenth anniversary will be next month. We don't have extra police force here. It's most convenient to send them to prison. Special matters should be handled specially."

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "I understand. I'll send them there tomorrow morning."

"Thank you for your hard work. Before you go, tell the prison first and ask them to make room for them. Also, tell them what crimes these people have committed."

"clear."

After Lai Yicheng was dragged out of the interrogation room, he was directly taken to the detention room and locked up with butchers and carpenters.

Seeing Lai Yicheng being beaten so badly, several people couldn't help but feel fortunate.

"Fortunately, I confessed early on. If I had been as stubborn as he was, it would have been terrible."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really fucking ruthless!"

"Fortunately, I was the first one to confess, so I didn't have to be beaten. If I confessed so early, I should be able to spend fewer years in prison, right?" Killer Zhao was still in fantasy.

Several people were gloating and mocking Lai Yicheng, but there was one person who hated the dying Lai Yicheng.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

"Just because of 10 bucks, I'm going to jail. I still haven't gotten that damn 10 bucks."

The butcher became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. It was just a small matter, but it landed him in jail.

"I'm going to beat you to death!" The butcher suddenly jumped up, roared, rushed towards the dying Lai Yicheng, sat astride him, and hit him hard with his fists.

"Puff~" Lai Yicheng immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He was already seriously injured, and being hit like this made things even worse.

"Butcher Wang, are you crazy? Even if you beat him to death, you won't survive!" The carpenter hurriedly stopped the butcher.

"Can't survive? Who cares? I'm already in here, how can I get out? He's caused me so much trouble, what the hell can I do if I get out!"

"Even if I die, I will take someone with me! Die!"

The butcher roared and punched Lai Yicheng on the head repeatedly.

"Murder! Murder! Police comrades, come and deal with it!"

"What's going on?" The police heard the noise and hurried over to check.

The carpenter quickly pointed at the two men and said, "Comrade police, he is crazy, he wants to kill people, Lai Yicheng is going to die!"

"Stop!" the police shouted at the butcher.

However, the butcher, whose face was red with rage, did not hear the police at all and continued to punch Lai Yicheng hard.

"I told you to stop!" The police swung his baton and hit the butcher through the gap in the railing.

At this moment, the butcher's adrenaline was surging and he felt no pain at all. He stared at Lai Yicheng with his red eyes and continued to punch hard with his fists.

In desperation, the police could only hit the butcher on the head with a stick, trying to knock him unconscious.

"Boom!"

"Ok!"

The butcher's eyes suddenly widened, his body stopped for a moment, he looked ahead blankly, and then fell down.

A stream of blood flowed from the butcher's head.

The policeman's eyes widened. He just wanted to stop the butcher, but he accidentally killed him.

"Key! Get the key!" the police shouted to the side.

A policeman came running with a key to open the door.

But it was too late.

The butcher's blood and Lai Yicheng's blood flowed together, forming a huge pool of blood, which almost covered the floor of the detention room.

The police squatted down to check the two men's breathing, but they were already dead.

"You guys, why didn't you stop it when you saw it!" the police scolded others.

"Comrade police officer, I'm scared. I'm afraid of being beaten!" the accountant said tremblingly.

It was the first time for the carpenter and the blacksmith to see such a scene. As for the killer Zhao, no one cared if he died, as long as he was alive.

"Don't worry about them for now, just send them to the hospital."

Several people hurriedly carried away the bodies of the two and tried to send them to the hospital for rescue, but it was of no use.

The butcher managed to take one away before he died, which was really a good deal.

As for the deceased Lai Yicheng, he never thought that he would die here before he died.

He didn't wait for his father from the Ministry of Metallurgy to come and rescue him.

He hadn't taken revenge on his enemies like Yan Wanbin yet, and he still had a lot of means of revenge to use, but he just died in such a confused manner?

Before Lai Yicheng died, his eyes were wide open, he was in disbelief and very unwilling.
