Chapter 72 A Dog Without a Home
The police interrogated Lu Peng's wife, who knew nothing about it. She was just someone who had been kidnapped to give birth. Damn it, he even kidnapped his wife.
They interrogated Big Baldy Xiong overnight. Big Baldy was very stubborn and wouldn't say a word, but he was also quite loyal.
The focus now is on breaking through Akun's defenses.
trial room.
Ah Kun's hands and feet were cuffed, and he stayed up all night, resulting in dark circles under his eyes.
Qi Tongwei walked in with a grin.
"Hi, Little Kun Kun"
The woman's whiny voice made Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai feel nauseous and almost vomit.
When Ah Kun saw Qi Tongwei, he was instinctively a little scared because this living devil was too damn good at fighting.
Qi Tongwei grabbed Ah Kun's chin, almost saying, "You stinky man, don't even think about escaping."
He didn't say it aloud because he felt disgusted with himself.
The voice then returned to normal.
"Ah Bao, Baldy, Ah Kun, you are Lu Peng's most capable henchmen. I guess you should be ranked third, because Lu Peng knew the police were coming, yet he sent Ah Bao with him, and used you as cannon fodder."
"I would never betray my brother, don't even think about sowing discord!" Ah Kun said excitedly.
Qi Tongwei stared unblinkingly into Ah Kun's eyes. "Have you ever killed anyone?"
"I don't"
Someone reported you for murder.
"I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone!"
Ah Kun was in a hurry to make excuses and was very nervous.
Qi Tongwei patted Akun on the shoulder, "You've never killed anyone, what are you afraid of?"
"Let me explain the situation to you. The Lu Peng criminal gang is a major case. The Ministry of Public Security is now supervising its investigation. If you haven't heard of the Ministry of Public Security, just say it's the central government, understand?"
Ah Kun swallowed nervously, wondering how things had escalated to the central government level.
Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai suppressed their laughter with serious expressions; this kid really dared to speak his mind.
"Lu Peng has been caught and will definitely be sentenced to death. As a key member of the criminal group, you will most likely face the death penalty as well."
"If you perform a major meritorious service, your death sentence can be commuted to a suspended death sentence."
"A suspended death sentence can be commuted to life imprisonment after two years of good behavior."
"During a life sentence, good behavior can reduce the sentence to a fixed-term imprisonment of approximately 25 years."
"The more evidence you provide about Lu Peng's criminal gang, the more your sentence will be reduced. For example, tell us who Lu Peng killed and how much money he gave to those corrupt officials."
"Based on this calculation, you'll probably be released in about 15 years. You're in your early twenties now, so you'll only be 40 when you get out, which is the perfect age to start all over again."
"If you believe that nonsense about being a hero again in eighteen years, then disregard what I said. Think it over carefully. If others confess and you do too, your meritorious service will be diminished."
Ah Kun was sweating profusely with nervousness. He really didn't want to die; who would want to die when they could live?
Qi Tongwei took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from A-Kun's forehead. "Lu Peng is really good to his brothers, isn't he?"
Ah Kun nodded vigorously, "Big Brother treats us very well; he gives us money when we want money, and women when we want women."
"That's right. Now that things have come to this, Lu Peng certainly doesn't want his brothers to die together. He took the blame alone so that his brothers could survive. That's the responsibility of a big brother, don't you think?"
Zhang Zheng and Zhao Donglai exchanged a glance, surprised that this was how things were done.
Ah Kun was a little tempted. Yes, how could the eldest brother let his younger brother die?
Qi Tongwei patted A-Kun on the shoulder again, "A-Kun, don't feel guilty. This isn't about betraying your brother. When you're in this business, you have to be able to take things on and let them go. Your brother won't blame you."
Ah Kun took a deep breath and said, "I'll talk."
Qi Tongwei quickly asked, "Where are A Bao and Lu Peng most likely hiding?"
Ah Kun thought for a moment, "I know Ah Bao has a place to live, on the third floor above the Jian'an Road vegetable market, in the rightmost room."
"Go on."
"I don't know about other places, but I've given money to President Guo of the court, Director Zheng of the police station, and government secretaries and drivers."
"My older brother even kept a record of every single expense; there was an account book."
Ah Kun had completely given up resisting. Brotherhood meant nothing; survival was the only thing that mattered.
Qi Tongwei laughed and said, "Great! Keeping accounts is a good habit, just like Chairman Chiang Kai-shek keeping a diary."
Suddenly a weird line popped up: "Who the hell writes a diary?"
"Ah Kun, you've done a great job, you've got potential."
Ah Kun breathed a sigh of relief. "Big brother, don't blame me."
Zhang Zheng immediately reported the interrogation findings to He Aijun.
He Aijun was in a real bind. If the ledgers were found, a whole bunch of comrades would be doomed.
"Team Leader Zhang, take men and make the arrest immediately."
"Director He, it seems that Director Zheng is likely the one who leaked the information. Should we start monitoring him? Lu Peng might come to him for help to leave Jingzhou."
He Aijun really didn't want to end up in a fight with his colleague whom he worked with day and night, but unfortunately, the law is merciless, so he couldn't be blamed.
"Then send two people to monitor them. No arrests are allowed without my orders, understand? Qi Tongwei."
Qi Tongwei was stunned for a moment. In the eyes of the leaders, am I really so disobedient?
"Understood, Director He. I have no law enforcement authority."
"You know that's good; just do it."
"Yes, Director He."
After arranging for the two men, Zhang Zheng immediately led his men to Jian'an Road.
Zheng Yonghang then drove off.
The market was crowded, and the police officers were all in plainclothes.
Zhang Zheng ordered, "Remember, do not fire indiscriminately."
Zhang Zheng also took a special look at Qi Tongwei.
"Captain Zhang, I don't have a gun, don't look at me!"
You're good at stealing, aren't you?
"action"
Immediately, everyone sprang into action and rushed to the third floor.
Zhao Donglai charged ahead, while Qi Tongwei was at the back. It was frustrating; being a policeman was so much more enjoyable, especially the way he held a gun.
Zhang Zheng gestured: one, two, three.
Bang.
Zhao Donglai kicked open the door, and two policemen rushed in after him.
Unfortunately, it was all for naught. I looked around the house, but there wasn't a single ghost in sight.
Qi Tongwei saw two buckets of leftover instant noodles on the table.
"Looks like Lu Peng was here. That bastard's cunning enough."
"Everyone, check carefully and see if you can find any clues."
Zhang Zheng was very disappointed. He wished he had broken through A-Kun's defenses last night.
Qi Tongwei is a master interrogator; we should recruit him.
They searched everywhere but found no useful clues.
"Let's call it a day."
At this time, Lu Peng and A Bao hid in a small hotel. In those days, nothing was formal, and you didn't necessarily need an ID card to stay at a hotel; you could just pay more money.
Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, Lu Peng, after all these years, actually had some luck on his side. Not long after he left, the police raided his rented house.
Lu Peng sat on the dilapidated bed, looking at the account book in his hand, and couldn't help but turn the pages one by one.
This driver earns 2000, that secretary earns 5000, this leader, that leader.
Damn it, Lu Peng is making money with his head in his hands, and these bastards just talk the talk, and I still have to smile and pay them tribute.
If the relationship isn't good, the boss won't accept it. They all pretend to be respectable people, and they even want virgins when they call prostitutes.
He's like a stray dog now, not a single leader is willing to lend a hand. Damn it, I really want to take them all down with me.
