A police car stopped at the gate of the police station. Two policemen got off the car and walked quickly in. They came here today to inquire about the progress of Lao Xiang's case.
Cai Yuanqi was extremely dissatisfied with the black draft that A-Zhen asked the reporter to write, but she was also wary of what A-Zhen really knew, so she had to take action again on Lao Xiang's matter.
That's why someone came to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to inquire about Lao Xiang.
However, these two people did not achieve their goals. One was the Chief Inspector and the other was the Senior Inspector. Even if they were their own people, the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Department did not give them any face and refused to disclose any case information related to Lao Xiang.
"Okay."
The Chief Inspector thought for a moment and then said: "Then let's see Superintendent Xiang, okay?!"
"alright."
Song Zijie took the two of them to sit in the police station for a while, sipping the coffee in his hand:
"Don't say I won't give you a face. Superintendent Xiang's case is now being watched personally by Senior Superintendent Wu."
"According to what he said, no one is allowed to come into contact with Superintendent Xiang. There is nothing we can do about it. It's better for you two to stop getting involved. Don't make yourself a mess then."
Speaking of which.
Song Zijie lowered his voice: "Don't blame me for not giving you any information. Ji Sheng was involved in this case. Do you understand?"
"Okay."
Seeing what Song Zijie said, the two of them had no choice but to return angrily and leave the police station.
"I finally figured it out."
The chief inspector curled his lips disdainfully: "Superintendent Mo just doesn't like us at all, so he asked a senior inspector Song Zijie to come out to deal with us, huh."
"Who knows."
The senior inspector shrugged and took out a cigarette: "Whatever, we are just here to explore the truth anyway. If we really want to, it won't be our turn to do anything."
"That's true."
The two of them looked at the front of the car and smoked cigarettes. They chatted one by one and passed the time before talking.
Just then.
A red Benz car appeared on the street. The conspicuous red color was very eye-catching. It took advantage of the police station and parked at the gate.
The car stopped.
Ji Bu, who was in a suit and leather shoes, opened the car door and got out. Inside the police station, Song Zijie led the police officers out quickly and greeted him with a smile.
He glanced at the two people who had not left yet, walked up to Ji Bu with a smile, and led him inside:
"It has been prepared for a long time. I am just waiting for you to come over and interrogate Superintendent Xiang."
"good."
Ji Bu nodded and followed Song Zijie toward the police station.
beside.
The chief inspector listened to the conversation between the two, quickly threw away his cigarette and followed him, grabbing Song Zijie:
"Sir Song, what's going on? Why are Ji Bu and the others here?!"
"It's not like you don't know that he helped us win Wang Bao's case, and it was involved in Superintendent Xiang's case. Senior Superintendent Wu took a fancy to his ability, so let's take it by the way."
"We can't get Superintendent Xiang to trial, so we might as well let Ji Bu try."
"Okay, that's it. I'll go in first. Don't bother trying to make peace. As I said, don't get involved and go back quickly."
Finished.
Song Zijie abandoned the two of them and quickly followed them in.
"Let him interrogate Superintendent Xiang?"
The chief inspector curled his lips and frowned slightly as he looked at Ji Bu who walked in, thoughtfully.
He turned around and came back, drove the car away and stopped at the end of the street across from the police station gate, where he could still see the police station gate.
He took out his mobile phone and reported the current situation directly to his boss, truthfully reporting it. After his boss listened, he motioned to the chief inspector to continue to watch here, while he made a phone call to Cai Yuanqi.
"What?!"
Cai Yuanqi frowned: "Let Ji Bu interrogate Lao Xiang? Isn't this nonsense? Are the police stations handling cases so casually now?"
"From what they said, it seems that Ji Bu is quite accomplished in interrogation, so he was allowed to come."
"Okay, I understand, keep watching to see what happens."
Cai Yuanqi frowned and hung up the phone. He moved his fingers on the table, but the rhythm had long been lost and the sound was messy.
Let's not talk about whether Ji Bu has this interrogation ability. His thoughts alone can be unpredictable. The most important thing is that Ji Bu is very wild and doesn't follow the routine.
Can Lao Xiang stabilize himself? What if he can't withstand Ji Bu's psychological attack and gets exposed?!
Cai Yuanqi started to walk back and forth in the office a little restlessly.
The other side.
Inside the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, in the superintendent's office, Ji Bu was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, chewing a cigarette and reading a newspaper.
In the newspaper, a second black article against Cai Yuanqi was also published, still without naming her, but just secretly putting pressure on Cai Yuanqi.
"This A-Zhen does have something good."
Ji Bu bared his teeth and smiled, put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked sideways at Superintendent Mo sitting next to him:
"Azhen's move must have put enough pressure on Cai Yuanqi. I saw two strange faces at the door just now. Are they here for Lao Xiang?"
"Yes."
Superintendent Mo nodded and said, "This A-Zhen is very good at grasping the key points, hitting the nail on the head and getting straight to the point. She has a brain."
"However, in comparison, she, A-Zhen, is not Ji Sheng's opponent. With just two simple operations, we have already led A-Zhen away."
"You have also seen it, what should we do next? How to deal with them?! Lao Xiang refuses to speak, and there is nothing we can do against him."
"It's very simple."
Ji Bu put down his crossed legs, put his cigarette on the ashtray, flicked it, and then said:
"If Lao Xiang refuses to speak, then don't speak. If you ask him now, he will definitely not tell you."
"ah?"
Superintendent Mo didn't understand what Ji Bu meant: "Let's let Azhen put enough pressure on Cai Yuanqi. Next, let's contact Azhen? Let Azhen persuade Lao Xiang?"
He believed that the reason why Ji Bu made this move was to let Azhen put pressure on Cai Yuanqi. If Cai Yuanqi could not solve the problem, they would go to Azhen again.
If Azhen comes to persuade Lao Xiang, maybe Lao Xiang will tell him what he knows.
"It's unnecessary and useless."
Ji Bu shook his head and denied Superintendent Mo's statement. He reached for the cigarettes on the table and added another one:
"Lao Xiang is also a superintendent after all. He must have thought clearly about it when he was doing things and considered the consequences if he failed."
"He has a wife, children, and is a police superintendent himself. Yet he is still willing to help Cai Yuanqi do such a desperate thing. That shows that the relationship between Cai Yuanqi and him is very unusual."
"He is determined not to betray Cai Yuanqi, so even if he calls his wife Azhen over, it will have no effect."
"He won't say anything like he always does. There's no doubt about it. You must have noticed this, right?"
"this"
Superintendent Mo couldn't help but frown when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he sighed: "If that's the case, then grabbing this old Xiang will have no effect."
"If he doesn't spit, we won't get anything useful."
This is what Superintendent Mo said, and he has not said the second part yet:
Since you already know that Lao Xiang will never spit out his words, why do you still spend so much time, let Superintendent Li trick Azhen, and spend a lot of money to do this? It's completely meaningless.
The outcome has been decided, there is no doubt about it.
Of course.
Superintendent Mo would not say this out loud. It was inappropriate and he would not say it himself.
"Lao Xiang is definitely useful. It's because of the attitudes of both parties since the incident. I can see that Lao Xiang is probably a big fish and can provide Cai Yuanqi with a lot of information."
Ji Bu breathed out the smoke faintly, and the blue smoke formed a line on the coffee table and spread out again:
"That's why I asked Lao Li to deliver the news to Azhen. Azhen also did something that satisfied us. She started to put pressure on Cai Yuanqi, didn't she?"
"Next?"
Superintendent Mo rolled his eyes: "Go and interrogate Lao Xiang?!"
"Let him go."
Ji Bu said casually.
"What?!"
When Superintendent Mo heard what Ji Bu said, his eyes twitched wildly. He looked at Ji Bu in disbelief and seriously suspected that he had heard wrongly.
"Let him go? Let Superintendent Xiang go? No, right? Did I hear wrong?!"
"Of course not, just let him go. Since he refuses to speak, then we are lucky enough to let him go."
Ji Bu nodded in agreement and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist:
"Call Azhen, inform her, and ask her to bring someone to the police station to take her husband home, and ask her to come now."
"Forehead"
Superintendent Mo felt a little short-circuited for a while and couldn't keep up with Ji Bu's rhythm.
"I asked you to suppress Lao Xiang's matter before, hold the evidence in your hands, don't submit it to the superiors, and keep telling the public that it is under investigation. You have been waiting for today."
"From the moment I caught Lao Xiang, listening to his firm tone, I had already thought about letting him go."
"Let him go!"
Superintendent Mo took a deep breath and looked at Ji Bu for a while. Then he nodded, but he was unwilling to do so:
"It's okay to let him go, but let's just forget about it? No investigation? Lao Xiang is of great value. If we let him go now, he won't have a chance in the future."
"hehe."
Ji Bu bared his teeth and smiled, raised his hand and put out the cigarette in his hand. He looked at Superintendent Mo and said with a smile: "Sir Mo, are you a little suspicious that I have collected illegal money?"
"Do you secretly suspect that I have been corrupted by Cai Yuanqi? You have secretly negotiated terms with him and the two parties have reconciled."
"Ahem."
Superintendent Mo cleared his throat when he heard this, and admitted openly: "More or less, a little bit."
"Just a little bit."
At the end he added another sentence.
"Just a little?"
Ji Bu looked at Superintendent Mo's expression and found it inexplicably funny, shaking his head:
"Okay, okay, I won't beat around the bush with you. I definitely can't really let Lao Xiang go. The reason why I let him out is to get him to talk."
Superintendent Mo raised his eyebrows: "Let him speak?"
"yes!"
Ji Bu tapped his fingers lightly on the table and continued:
"If we interrogate Lao Xiang, Lao Xiang will definitely not open his mouth. So let's find someone else to help us interrogate him. Then he will open his mouth."
"who?"
"Cai Yuanqi!"
The corners of Ji Bu's mouth rose.
"Cai Yuanqi?!"
"alright."
Ji Bu raised his hand to look at his watch and signaled Superintendent Mo to make a call first:
"You should call Azhen first to come to the police station to collect someone. If it's a little later, the two informants waiting at the door should leave. Once they leave, no one will notify Cai Yuanqi."
"All right."
Superintendent Mo finally reacted belatedly at this time. He seemed to understand Ji Bu's thoughts and immediately made an internal call to inform someone that A-Zhen had fallen in love with A-Qiang and come to the police station to pick him up.
"Wonderful!"
Superintendent Mo had already understood the mystery. His eyes lit up and he was full of praise for Ji Bu:
"Ji Sheng, your tactic of borrowing a knife to kill someone is so clever. You have already put a butcher's knife on Lao Xiang's neck without realizing it."
Only now did Superintendent Mo see the deep meaning of Ji Bu's actions. This kid had already laid out the plan from the beginning.
First:
First, let yourself cover up Lao Xiang's evidence of crime and not report it to the police. Then you can go directly to the superintendent now.
second:
Ji Bu deliberately revealed Cai Yuanqi to Azhen and used Azhen's role to put pressure on Cai Yuanqi.
third:
Then he used Superintendent Li to tell Azhen the stakes, so that Azhen, who wanted to get Lao Xiang out, put pressure on Cai Yuanqi again.
As expected, Azhen began to use her connections to write black articles to attack Cai Yuanqi. This was a naked threat.
As a result, the relationship between Azhen and Cai Yuanqi deteriorated.
Final step:
Let Lao Xiang go.
Originally, the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Department had been keeping an eye on Lao Xiang, but at this juncture, Lao Xiang was suddenly released by the police.
Once this news reaches Cai Yuanqi's ears, what will Cai Yuanqi think?
Cai Yuanqi will definitely feel that Lao Xiang told the police about herself, so how will Cai Yuanqi deal with Lao Xiang?
Once Cai Yuanqi starts to deal with Lao Xiang, Ji Bu and the others will have their chance. This is also the so-called Cai Yuanqi will help them interrogate Lao Xiang.
"hehe."
Ji Bu smiled reservedly and waved his hand lightly: "It's just a little thought. Ordinary methods will definitely not be able to deal with a tough guy like Lao Xiang. So we can only let them disintegrate themselves from within."
"Now we can take action. Just letting Lao Xiang go is not enough. The drama is still not enough. You have to put more pressure on me."
"you say."
Superintendent Mo was now convinced of Ji Bu's plan, and whatever he said was what he said:
"Whatever is needed from me next, I will arrange it now."
"Um."
Ji Bu looked ahead with bright eyes: "First, the people you go to ICAC will assist you and start an internal investigation."
"As for the targets of the investigation, as long as they are related to people who were close to Cai Yuanqi when he was in office, we will investigate them."
"Second, let people go to the newspapers that published the black articles against Cai Yuanqi and ask them to withdraw the black articles immediately, and bring back the reporters who published the black articles."
Jibu thought clearly and gave instructions quickly.
