Chapter 540 Interrogating Yi Zhonghai!
Chapter 540 Interrogating Yi Zhonghai!
In an interrogation room of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau, Zhou Bo sat at the interrogation table, looking seriously at Yi Zhonghai who was handcuffed to the interrogation chair, and said in a very serious tone: "Yi Zhonghai! You only have one chance. Will you confess on your own initiative? Or will we do it for you?"
From the moment he was handcuffed, Yi Zhonghai was trying to recall what he had done. But he racked his brains and still couldn't figure out what illegal thing he had done.
When Yi Zhonghai heard Zhou Bo's words, he showed an expression of injustice and grievance on his face, and replied: "Comrade Public Security! I, Yi Zhonghai, have always been an honest and upright person, and have never done anything that is against the law. Comrade Public Security, what do you want me to confess?"
The first impression given by Yi Zhonghai's appearance is that of an extremely upright good man. If Zhou Bo and his team had not already obtained sufficient evidence, no one would have thought that this upright middle-aged man in front of them would actually be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
When Zhou Bo saw Yi Zhonghai shouting his innocence, his face suddenly darkened. He slammed the interrogation table in front of him and angrily scolded him, "Yi Zhonghai! Stop playing dumb here."
"You are a Grade 8 worker at the steel mill. If we didn't have solid evidence, would we handcuff you and take you away in front of so many people at the steel mill?"
After hearing Zhou Bo's words, Yi Zhonghai, who was shrewd and calculating, did not reveal the shady things he had done over the years. He continued to play dumb and answered: "Comrade Public Security! I really don't know what illegal things I have done. How about you give me a hint?"
Zhou Bo saw that even after he had said so much, Yi Zhonghai was still pretending to be stupid in front of them. This made Zhou Bo immediately realize that Yi Zhonghai's case must be more than just withholding child support from Sha Zhu's brother and sister.
In order to get Yi Zhonghai to confess his illegal deeds, Zhou Bo stood up from the interrogation table and told his colleagues: "Xiao Wen! Since he doesn't want to talk, send him to the detention center. The evidence we have is enough to keep him in prison for twenty years, even on a diet."
When Yi Zhonghai saw Zhou Bo preparing to leave, he instinctively thought that Zhou Bo was just pretending. Until he heard Zhou Bo's words and saw that Zhou Bo really did not intend to continue interrogating him, Yi Zhonghai was completely stunned and hurriedly shouted to Zhou Bo: "Comrade Public Security! Don't leave, I will tell you everything."
When Zhou Bo heard Yi Zhonghai's answer, a wise look flashed in his eyes. However, he did not sit back at the interrogation table immediately. Instead, he reminded Yi Zhonghai seriously: "Yi Zhonghai! You only have one chance. If you continue to fight us to the end, don't blame us for not giving you the chance to confess voluntarily."
At this time, Yi Zhonghai had already been frightened by the sentence Zhou Bo had just mentioned. Facing Zhou Bo's reminder, Yi Zhonghai quickly opened his mouth and promised: "Comrade Public Security! Don't worry, I promise to tell you all the mistakes I have made."
When Zhou Bo heard the promise made by Yi Zhonghai, he did not completely believe what Yi Zhonghai said. In the end, he sat at the interrogation table and listened carefully to Yi Zhonghai's confession.
"Snapped!"
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was avoiding the main point and talking about some unimportant things, Zhou Bo was so angry that he slapped the interrogation table and reminded Yi Zhonghai in a very serious tone: "Yi Zhonghai! Do you really think we have enough time to sit here and listen to your story? Since you don't want to talk, we won't ask." Zhou Bo's slap really scared Yi Zhonghai. He went over it in his heart and made sure that he did not deliberately conceal what he did after liberation. He said with a face full of grievance: "Public Security Comrade! I have reported everything I should report. I really can't remember what other illegal things I have done? Otherwise, can you give me a hint?"
After hearing Yi Zhonghai's answer and seeing the aggrieved face on his face, Zhou Bo said to Yi Zhonghai in a cold tone: "Yi Zhonghai! Since you want to remind me, then I will give you a reminder. Can you tell me why He Daqing went to Baoding in the first place?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard Zhou Bo mention He Daqing, his face suddenly froze. He could never have imagined that his plan to force He Daqing to Baoding would be exposed.
Thinking of what Zhou Bo had said before about sentencing and eating peanuts, Yi Zhonghai immediately realized that his withholding of child support from Sha Zhu's siblings must have been exposed, and he quickly defended himself, "Comrade Public Security! He Daqing fell in love with a widow, so he abandoned his two children and followed the widow to Baoding. This matter has nothing to do with me."
"But before He Daqing went to Baoding, he asked me to take care of Sha Zhu and Yu Shui for him. So the money that He Daqing sent from Baoding to Sha Zhu and his sister over the years has always been kept by me for Sha Zhu. I plan to give it to them when Sha Zhu gets married."
After hearing Yi Zhonghai's explanation, Zhou Bo could only describe Yi Zhonghai in one sentence, "Sometimes people will believe a lie when it is true."
In response to Yi Zhonghai's explanation, Zhou Bo asked him in a cold tone, "Yi Zhonghai! I heard from He Daqing that he had a very good relationship with you, so before he left Sijiu City, he asked you to help find his children."
"According to our investigation, after He Daqing left, you first ran between Sha Zhu and his master, causing Sha Zhu to completely lose contact with his master. In addition, you secretly sold the job position that He Daqing reserved for Sha Zhu, and on the grounds that Sha Zhu was not old enough, you made Sha Zhu lose the opportunity to work in the steel mill. As a result, Sha Zhu and his sister have been living a hard life since then, relying on picking up garbage to fill their stomachs."
"Five dollars is enough to support a family's expenses nowadays, but you embezzled the money that He Daqing left for Sha Zhu, and secretly withheld the living expenses of Sha Zhu and his sister. Not only did you make Sha Zhu and his sister fall into the abyss, but you also directly severed the family relationship between them. What you did is not much different from the landlords in the old times who took advantage of others' misfortunes."
After hearing Zhou Bo's introduction, Yi Zhonghai finally understood why Zhou Bo was so sure that he could either send him to jail or eat peanuts.
Thinking of the money he had saved by living frugally over the years, Yi Zhonghai's face showed a look of horror, and he quickly protested for himself: "Comrade Public Security! I was just keeping the money temporarily for Sha Zhu, I really didn't want to embezzle Sha Zhu's money."
"Yi Zhonghai! Even at this point, you still dare to quibble here. You should have been the one who set up He Daqing with the White Widow, right? Didn't you trick He Daqing away?" When Zhou Bo heard Yi Zhonghai's explanation, his face suddenly darkened and he directly exposed Yi Zhonghai's true face.
