"Chen Tianbao, you're not a robber, you just provided information. If you can make a contribution during the interrogation, you could seek leniency."
"But if you resist stubbornly… our people are currently tracking down Chen Zheng's address."
"If we find him first…"
"I… I'll talk!"
The vast majority of people can't hold out long during interrogations.
Especially when the police already have evidence, the interrogation officers just need to intimidate a little, and they usually spill the beans.
Human nature is always about avoiding harm.
Just as Song Mingguang said, Chen Tianbao just tipped them off; although he was involved in the whole robbery, he wasn't one of the main criminals and didn't actually commit the robbery.
Now that he's been caught and the police have evidence, if he can contribute while guilty, he can ultimately seek leniency.
Since there's no way to run, he definitely wants to minimize the damage.
This is human nature; it is inevitable.
