Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Suicheng City Bureau.

Observatory.

Chen Yi looked at the man in the interrogation room through the one-way mirror with a serious expression.

The man's name is Tian Kedong, the owner of the casino, and it's not official. His name is written on the property of the store where the casino is located. After interrogation, all the people involved in gambling also said that their boss is Tian Kedong.

However, judging from Tian Kedong's call records, he had quite frequent contacts with Li Tianling and had a large amount of money exchanges.

In other words, the real boss behind the casino is Li Tianling, but the police cannot arrest Li Tianling for the time being for opening a casino.

Chen Yi didn't expect this.

"Tian Kedong, what is your relationship with Li Tianling? Tell me honestly!"

In the interrogation room, Zheng Congliang's interrogation continued, and Tian Kedong insisted that he ran the casino.

"It's really annoying." Tian Kedong was handcuffed, lowered his head and touched the complicated tattoo on his left wrist, and said with a smile: "Li Tianling is my friend. How many times have I told you, are you deaf?"

What do you mean, these people have been in and out of detention centers and prisons many times, and they have no fear of the police, even if they are caught.

They have experience and understand that even if they have a good attitude, it will not change the final verdict, so they will not be polite to the police.

I don’t dare to do it, but I can still scold you in disguise.

Zheng Congliang didn't get angry. After working as a criminal police officer for more than 20 years, he had seen too many suspects like Tian Kedong, and his mentality had long been tempered to be very calm, otherwise he would have been angry to death.

He slapped the transaction records of his bank card on the table and said coldly: "You send money to Li Tianling every quarter. Are you stupid to think that we are a policeman??"

Tian Kedong's smile did not change: "You may not be so smart. What's wrong with giving money every quarter? Don't gifts between friends work? Have you never given money to others? Don't you give red envelopes to your descendants during the Chinese New Year?"

This is a logical sophistry, but from a legal perspective there is no loophole.

Zheng Congliang: "Giving millions?"

Tian Kedong: "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Do you have to pay taxes? I was wrong. I will make up for the personal income tax that should be paid, or you can ask Li Tianling directly to ask for it. It is everyone's responsibility to support national construction. , I still have to pay you wages to feed and clothe your parents.”

He emphasized the word "parents" with a strong sense of ridicule.

The recorder and jurors looked ugly. In recent years, hard-core men like Tian Kedong have become rare.

In the past, Tian Kedong would have suffered a lot and would not be pampered.

Pay taxes? That's stolen money, not a tax issue.

"Zheng Zhi, come out."

Seeing this, Chen Yi in the observation room said something and turned to leave.

The two sat down in the case handling hall.

"This Li Tianling has something." Chen Yi pressed the lighter, and the fire suddenly appeared and the smoke rose.

It's certain that the boss behind the casino is Li Tianling, but he made his choice very cleanly. As long as Tian Kedong doesn't let go, the police will have nothing to do with Li Tianling.

Li Tianling did a good job in controlling people, and Tian Kedong was obviously very loyal.

He had been squatting there for a few years and was not shot. After he came out, he had to continue to live in Suicheng. Li Tianling could mediate outside during the trial. No matter from which angle he considered it, Tian Kedong had no need to betray Li Tianling.

Zheng Congliang: "If Tian Kedong doesn't explain, we won't be able to detain Li Tianling."

Li Tianling's lawyer is waiting in the reception room at the moment. If there is no evidence to criminally detain Li Tianling, he must be released and detained for up to twenty-four hours.

Chen Yi took a puff of cigarette. He originally planned to arrest Li Tianling for opening a casino, and then slowly investigate other cases. Now it seemed unrealistic. He underestimated Li Tianling's caution. All the documents were written by Tian Kedong. name.

Soon, the identities of all the gamblers were determined, and the list was handed over to Zheng Congliang and Chen Yi, including the casino's internal consumption records and accounting records, as well as IOUs.

There are ordinary people inside, as well as people with high status, including high-level company executives.

Porn, gambling, and drugs are all illegal activities that can make adrenaline soar. They are very attractive to wealthy people, and normal entertainment can no longer meet their needs.

"Li Tianling's ambitions are not small." Chen Yi flipped through the list, "It's not enough to win over Tianchi Company. The scope of penetration is already very wide."

There was a director of a company who owed millions, but he still gambled without any scruples. Tian Kedong did not drive him away or ask for a debt, but continued to lend money to let the other party have a good time.

There is no free lunch in the world. One day Li Tianling will make a request that he cannot accept or refuse.

It has to be said that Li Tianling is indeed a tyrant, taking vicious competition to the extreme, and it is not illegal on the surface.

Take Tianchi Company as an example. Is it illegal for the daughter of the co-owner to take away the shares? It's not illegal, it's called tactics.

Zheng Congliang was a little frightened. He had not paid attention to Li Tianling before. If this continues, there will be a "white boss" in Suicheng.

"I'll go talk to him."

Chen Yi put down the list and got up and went to the interrogation room. Li Tianling was sitting there leisurely, closing his eyes and relaxing. He was very comfortable. He didn't regard this place as an interrogation room at all, but rather like a living room at home.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Li Tianling opened his eyes and smiled when he saw it was Chen Yi.

"Captain Chen, I have admired my name for a long time, and finally we meet, but it's a bit late. It's been several days."

Chen Yi held a chair with one hand and sat down close to Li Tianling, then took out his cigarette case.

Li Tianling looks very young. Although his appearance is ordinary, he is neither tough nor gentle. His wise eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

His smart short hair and smile make his aura invisible and possess a certain degree of oppressive power.

"Have one." Li Tianling waved.

Chen Yi handed it over: "Mr. Li knows that I will definitely come to see you?"

Li Tianling smiled and said: "Of course I know. Aren't the investigation team going to investigate the backlog of cases? My father's case must be reviewed. As a son, can I not see him?"

Chen Yi nodded: "That's true."

Li Tianling: "But... let's see each other. What does Captain Chen mean by taking me directly to the interrogation room? Did I commit something?"

Chen Yi said four words: "Arc Internet Cafe."

"Arc Internet Cafe?" Li Tianling suddenly said, "Oh, you said there is a casino there. It was opened privately by my friend. I warned him many times and he didn't listen. It's really impossible to hold up the wall. Something is wrong now, right? ? Captain Chen, it’s my fault, I should have reported it long ago.”

Chen Yi admired Li Tianling's acting skills, which were not very good because they were performed by Ming.

He knew that the police were sure that he was the casino owner, knew that the police had no evidence, and even knew that Tian Kedong would not betray him, so he used the performance to demonstrate.

"Mr. Li should indeed report it." Chen Yi said, "Maybe you will be awarded a certificate of commendation by then. What an honor."

Li Tianling chuckled: "Yes, yes."

Chen Yi: "You are a very loyal friend. Most of the money I earn is given to you. Are you two brothers?"

Li Tianling waved his hand: "That's not true. His surname is Tian and my surname is Li. How can we be brothers? It's just good popularity. They just like to give me money. It doesn't matter if I don't want it. Do you think it's irritating or not? Of course, this little money belongs to Captain Chen. It’s nothing in my eyes, just pocket money.”

"Captain Chen, you said that when you were born, you were destined to reach a destination that no one else could reach in their lifetime. Why are you still a policeman? Isn't it idle?"

Chen Yi: "You are quite free and sent a beautiful woman to get close to Mo Shanwei."

Li Tianling's expression remained unchanged: "Know yourself and your enemy and you will win in any battle. You are a policeman and you don't understand business matters."

Chen Yi: "Is it a matter of business? I think it's a matter of human life."

Li Tianling was surprised: "What do you mean by this?"

"Li Gong was killed eight years ago. Have you checked?" Chen Yi flicked the ashes from his cigarette.

Li Tianling: "We have checked, but we haven't found anything. Even you police can't find it. What can I, a common man, find?"

Chen Yi: "I found out, Cheng Jianshe killed him."

This name made Li Tianling's eyes fluctuate, and he said in surprise: "Who is Cheng Jianshe? If you find out, go and arrest him. My father can't die in vain."

Chen Yi: "He is already dead, and your great revenge will be avenged."

"Oh... He's dead." After Li Tianling said this, he reacted, "Do I have to take revenge? I didn't kill him. I can only call him retribution from God."

Chen Yi: "Why did he want to kill Li Gong?"

Li Tianling: "Yes, why did he kill my father?"

Both of them were acting out, and Chen Yidao said, "Because your father, like you, is a man who will do whatever it takes to get a position. If he does too many bad things, problems will arise sooner or later."

Li Tianling's smile faded slightly: "It's just a chat, but you can't attack me personally, it's impolite."

Chen Yi chuckled: "We are quite tired from acting, why don't we be honest with each other?"

He knew that Li Tianling knew that he had found out a lot, and vice versa, so there was this conversation.

They act and talk clearly, but there is no focus.

Li Tianling's eyes narrowed: "Be honest? How can you be honest? Do you want to keep your underwear?"

One advantage of Mingyan is that Chen Yi can easily judge whether the other party is telling the truth or lies. Was Li Gong killed by Cheng Jianshe? I don’t know, but when Cheng Jianshe’s name was mentioned, it was obvious that Li Tianling had heard of it and even met him.

This is a key sign that the guess is likely to be correct.

All the cases, including the clues currently available, are becoming more and more closely connected at this moment, but it is difficult to continue the investigation and obtain evidence.

Both Li Tianling and Mo Shanwei are very difficult to interrogate. Without conclusive evidence, it is impossible to let go.

That's the thing about the backlog, most of the clues are gone.

"Just be honest...why Cheng Jianshe died so miserably." Chen Yi said.

Li Tianling was surprised: "Oh? Did he die miserably?"

Chen Yi: "He was hacked to death with random knives."

Li Tianling clicked his tongue: "That's really tragic. It's no longer the 1980s and 1990s, and there are still people who are so brave? Hacking people to death, it seems... this friend named Cheng Jianshe did it. What an outrageous thing."

Chen Yi: "Do you think he deserved his death?"

Li Tianling: "The more miserable the death, the more necessary it is for the murderer to commit the crime. He is definitely not a good person. The words deserve to die... I think it is true."

Chen Yi: "What would Mr. Li do if he had a deep grudge against someone?"

Li Tianling smiled: "Maybe... the other party will also die miserably, just like Cheng Jianshe. Don't get me wrong, it's just talk."

Chen Yi put out his cigarette: "It seems that Mr. Li has been arrogant in Suicheng for too long and has almost forgotten that he is a country ruled by law. This is very dangerous."

Li Tianling: "Captain Chen is joking, I am a law-abiding citizen."

The exchange between the two did not last long. Outside the interrogation room, Li Tianling's lawyer could not wait to negotiate with Zheng Congliang, asking the other party to explain clearly the charges against the client and to present legal and compliant evidence.

Zheng Congliang is very experienced and has been working with Xini.

When the door of the interrogation room opened and Chen Yi walked out, the lawyer shifted the blame: "Captain Chen from the provincial department, right? I've admired him for a long time. I don't know what crime my client, Mr. Li Tianling, has committed. Please clarify Captain Chen."

Chen Yi was too lazy to pay attention to the other party and waved his hand: "No crime, just call him over for a chat."

The lawyer was dissatisfied: "Chatting in the interrogation room?"

Chen Yi: "How nice the interrogation room is, with a beautiful environment."

After saying that, in the lawyer's confusion, he left the case handling hall.

On the other side, Li Tianling straightened his clothes and stood at the door of the interrogation room, signaling that the lawyer could leave.

"Zheng Zhi, you have aged a lot."

Li Tianling smiled and said hello to Zheng Congliang without waiting for the other party to respond, leaving behind a trace of his back.

Zheng Congliang frowned. He didn't remember that he had ever dealt with Li Tianling.

The evidence of Tian Kedong's crime of opening a casino is conclusive. After the materials are compiled, they will be submitted to the procuratorate for review and arrest approval. During this process, the investigation team held another meeting.

The content of the meeting revolved around whether the murderer of Li Gong was Cheng Jianshe.

Judging from previous conversations with Li Tianling, Chen Yi was already certain that the two knew each other.

Relationships between people need the support of the media. Li Tianling is the boss of Tianchi Company, with a lot of power and money, while Cheng Jianshe is a thief. The two parties are completely different from each other.

If you know it, the medium is very important. Combined with the previous inference about Cheng Jianshe's robbery of the gold shop, this medium is Li Gong.

The direction is basically clear. Li Gong may have been killed by Cheng Jianshe, and Cheng Jianshe may have been killed by Li Tianling. As for what role Mo Shanwei played, we can assume that he hired Cheng Jianshe to kill him.

One line connects all the clues and four cases. It is very reasonable and extremely possible.

How to check next is a question. While discussing, Chen Yi was also thinking about it.

"Can the case really be merged?"

Zheng Congliang was somewhat shocked. Originally, he was investigating the murder of Li Gong, but the investigation turned out to be more and more, and several extended clues were able to connect, eventually forming a closed loop.

He didn't know if Chen Yi had expected this from the beginning. He could only lament that the criminal investigation experts in the provincial department were different and could not be compared with those in prefecture-level cities.

Correspondingly, this case also encountered the biggest difficulty, changing from finding a breakthrough to finding breakthrough evidence.

Should we focus on investigating Li Tianling first, or Mo Shanwei?

"If Li Gong was killed by Cheng Jianshe, how did Li Tianling know about it?" Chen Yi asked.

Cheng Hanjun: "Let's check."

Zhuge Cong: "Nonsense, of course it was investigated. How was the problem investigated? The police didn't even find it."

Chen Yi said: "Compared with the police, Li Tianling has a big advantage. He is Li Gong's son. He knows a lot more things than the police. You can start from this aspect."
