Where's Chen Jian?
He's naturally at the police station, but...
"Tell me, why did the police find something related to Zhang Cui's body at your suspicious location?"
"Hey, officer, I'm innocent!"
June 27th.
7:30 PM, the detective unit was still dimly lit in the interrogation room.
Chen Jian sat carelessly on the chair, grinning cheekily at the policemen in front of him.
He had been arrested.
On the day of June 24th, a group of policemen stormed into his home and forcibly brought him into the police station while he was still having a meal.
Two days had passed, yet the police hadn't gathered any substantial information.
At this point, it was unknown how many times he had been interrogated!
"Still pretending!"
Liu Jin, full of anger, slapped the table with one hand.
"Bang!"
"I ask you, on June 1, 1997, did you go to Chen Hua's house with Chen Wei while Chen Hua was not at home!?"
Liu Jin's eyes were gloomy, staring intently at Chen Jian.
Chen Jian just shook his handcuffed hands and said cheerfully:
"Nothing like that happened. Why would I go to his house for no reason?"
At these words, Liu Jin was furious.
"Bullshit!"
He raised his hand, and an officer beside him immediately brought a document.
"On June 1, 1997, Zhang Cui signed and stamped a document at home, selling their old house and farmland to you at an extremely low price!"
"It's clearly written in black and white, and you still deny it!?"
"The compensation for the demolition of the house is a total of 4.8 million, plus three residential apartments in the city!"
"You got it for the low price of one thousand yuan..."
"And you still dare to argue at this point!"
Liu Jin pointed at the document, his finger turning pale as he stared at him, shouting:
"Moreover, according to others, when Chen Hua called the police, there were five groups of police officers who went to Chen Family Village that day!"
"After investigation, four groups turned out to be fake police officers, imposters in police uniforms!"
"Who were these people!?"
Chen Hua called the police...
Yes.
That year, Chen Hua reported it but was beaten by the fake police officers to the point of having a broken leg and lost hope in seeking justice.
Chen Hua wanted to directly kill the other party, at the cost of his own life.
But if he died, how would Chen Dong and the others survive?
Chen Jian rolled his eyes in thought, then seemed to recall something, and said cheerfully:
"Oops, forgot about that. It's indeed there."
"But wasn't it written in black and white? It was a voluntary sale, just a mutual agreement."
"Maybe they didn't want to live a rich life. What's it got to do with me?"
Mutual agreement?
Buying a house worth millions for one thousand yuan!?
"As for Zhang Cui's body... Officer, I'm innocent!"
"That woodland is my family's ancestral grave. Who knows how a body got buried there, I'm innocent!"
Chen Jian wailed, putting on a sorrowful look on his face.
"My son died, I went to the ancestral grave to say a few words to my ancestors, who knew there was such garbage buried there..."
"Had I known, I would've dug it up to feed the dogs."
In just a few short sentences.
All the policemen in the interrogation room suddenly felt anger, their chests heaving with increasing intensity, their eyes vaguely unfriendly.
This bastard...
Since arriving at the police station, he had cooperated with nothing, constantly evading!
But the police couldn't find any substantial evidence...
Find anything directly linking Chen Jian to the evidence.
The murder scene had been demolished and filled with cement as a foundation for a shed.
The timeline had stretched across seven years, erasing all information...
The police couldn't find direct evidence of Chen Jian committing murder in such a short time!
"By the way, where's Chen Qingqing?"
"I remember during the transaction, Chen Qingqing was also present."
Suddenly, Chen Jian laughed again, looking at Liu Jin with gentle eyes.
"Why don't you have the kid testify?"
Upon hearing this.
Liu Jin's face turned black as coal, his hands unconsciously clenching tight.
Chen Qingqing had been raped by Chen Wei seven years ago and committed suicide four years ago...
He didn't believe the other party didn't know!
But if they did, it was a blatant... provocation!!!
"Fuck you!"
Wang Chao, who had been standing by, exploded in rage, instantly lunging at Chen Jian.
In just a blink of an eye, two large fists swung left and right.
Liu Jin's heart skipped a beat, his mind rapidly processing.
He was just about to stop Wang Chao, but coincidentally stood up and blocked the body cam lens.
"Bang bang!"
Wang Chao swung both fists, Chen Jian only felt everything go black, then his head swelled with pain.
In an instant.
The interrogation room became chaotic.
"Pull them apart!"
"Get everyone out!"
Liu Jin turned off the body cam, quickly helping to separate Wang Chao and Chen Jian with the others.
Several policemen escorted Chen Jian out, reaching the door in just a few steps.
"Squeak~"
The iron door opened.
Silhouettes appeared in the corridor, one frail, the others policemen.
Chen Jian, his face full of blood, paused slightly upon seeing one of them, then broke into a smile.
They were the policemen and Chen Hua.
They had been observing from the shadows outside, their expressions unclear.
"Do you like filing complaints?"
Chen Jian chuckled at Chen Hua, his eyes filled with scorn and disdain as he leaned in and whispered:
"Your wife and children are dead... just accept it."
"What's the point of filing complaints? They're just two nonentities, two lives..."
"Is it worth it?"
"Do you know how much I paid for my lawyer? Guess if I'll be out next month?"
"That's enough."
Having said that, Chen Jian then walked away with a smile.
Only the people behind, including the police, watched him leave, their fists clenching.
He was speaking the truth.
The police couldn't find any clues or evidence, and with him hiring an expensive lawyer...
The possibility of walking out of the station... was very high!
...
In the interrogation room.
"Calm the hell down!"
Liu Jin shouted angrily, shoving Wang Chao into a chair.
Wang Chao, still feeling indignant, breathed heavily.
Liu Jin, seeing this, was still full of anger.
"Are you out of your mind!?"
"Just out of probation and looking for trouble!?"
Wang Chao, getting agitated, shouted:
"That bastard is literally shitting on our faces!"
"Then let him shit!"
The other party maintained a strong stance, but Wang Chao, seeing the anger on his face, fell silent.
Liu Jin eyed him with disapproval and only calmed down a little when Wang Chao remained silent.
He took a deep breath, saying slowly:
"We are the police, not bandits. We need evidence!"
"Without any solid evidence, anyone under interrogation is just a suspect!"
Wang Chao muttered: "It's been seven years... where the hell is the evidence?"
Liu Jin retorted angrily:
"If there's no evidence, we find it. If we can't, we're useless!"
"Do you know what consequences your actions could lead to!?"
"You're dismissed for a few days, go home and reflect on yourself!"
With that, Liu Jin turned and left.
"Bang!"
The iron door was tightly shut, leaving Wang Chao alone in the interrogation room.
Wang Chao sat silently for a long time.
Finally, he quietly left the station, wandering alone on the streets.
He didn't go home, just wandered aimlessly.
After a while.
He suddenly stood in the middle of a deserted street, looking up at the night sky.
Wang Chao felt completely disenchanted.
"Sigh..."
