Chapter 197: Interrogation
Translator:Sparrow TranslationsEditor:Sparrow Translations
Initially, Lin Fan didnt expect to catch such a big fish. When he first saw Wang Shen, he felt that he looked studious and had a look of good fortune. But it was a little weird. After reading his fortune, he was shocked.
This Wang Shen was actually the mastermind behind a human trafficking organization. He started a service company to cover up his illegal deeds. Who knows how many children he trafficked and how many families he destroyed? In the end, all these sins had been accumulated by him.
He was indeed a scary figure.
Those children who got kidnapped practically all got sold to Wang Shen. Meanwhile, Wang Shen was based in Shanghai. On the surface, it looked like he was running a legal business but he was actually doing an illegal business behind the scenes.
At the police station.
Liu Xiao Tian pulled Lin Fan to the side, Master Lin, I will go lead the report on the other side. You can have a seat here. Wang Shen and the other man have been escorted into the interrogation room. The odds are not really on our side. Also, I am not following procedures for this case. If we cant find any proof, Im afraid I might be in trouble.
Lin Fan patted Liu Xiao Tian on his shoulder and said, Dont worry, Im here. If anything happens, you can sell scallion pancakes with me.
Lin Fans first words made Liu Xiao Tian extremely confident. But his next words completely shocked him. Of course, he knew that Master Lin was just kidding. Even if he really lost his job, he wouldnt regret it. Sometimes when you trust someone, you fully trust him/her. If he didnt manage to find any proof, it could only mean that he wasnt capable enough. Justice will eventually prevail.
Lin Fan just sat there while Liu Xiao Tian went to report to his chief. He didnt know what Liu Xiao Tian was saying to his chief but he took a long time. He only came out after forty minutes and his forehead dripping with sweat.
Lin Fan stood up and asked, How was it?
Liu Xiao Tian smiled, The chief believes in you too. He will act as if he doesnt know about this. But this time, we only have 12 hours because of security implications. There isnt any evidence and therefore we cant keep him here.
Lin Fan nodded, Have you started the interrogation?
Liu Xiao Tian nodded, It has started. But I dont have high hopes for it. If he really is Wang Er Mazi, it wouldnt be easy for an ordinary person to catch up with him. Furthermore, we dont have any evidence. He is definitely feeling relaxed. If we cant find anything wrong, hes going to be the last one laughing.
Lin Fan said firmly, Theres no if, hes definitely the one.
Liu Xiao Tian looked at Lin Fan and asked, Why are you so sure?
Lin Fan chuckled, Im a fortune-teller, remember? But now theres no evidence, I doubt youd believe me.
Liu Xiao Tian nodded. This thing was a precarious situation after all. He was very willing to believe Master Lin but if he went to the higher-ups without any evidence at all, saying that this guy was Wang Er Mazi, saying that hes the leader of the human traffickers and saying that he must be sentenced; if he went to them and just claimed all that, he would be flamed to no end.
An hour later.
The interrogating officer came out and shook his head. Sir, theres nothing. Are you sure hes the one?
Liu Xiao Tian believed Master Lin but the situation couldnt be confirmed. What else could they find out from him? Then, Liu Xiao Tian said firmly, Hes the one. Its just that we currently dont have any evidence to arrest him but I guarantee that hes the one.
The interrogating officers sighed in relief. At the same time, they felt a little more motivated. Even the chief was sure of it, this person must definitely be Wang Er Mazi. Its just that he was very slippery. Perhaps they couldnt do anything to him then but they definitely will when they find evidence.
Lin Fan looked at what was happening and thought that if they continued this blind search, theyd just be wasting their time.
Chief Liu, could I interrogate him myself? Lin Fan asked.
Liu Xiao Tian looked at Master Lin and his expression changed.
The officer beside him said, Chief, this isnt right. Furthermore, Master Lin wouldnt know the code of conduct when in the interrogation room.
Master Lin, time is against us. I feel that we should let our professional officers do it. This Wang Shen didnt say much but if we bait him, we will definitely get something out of him.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, Im afraid you guys cant make it in time.
The officers didnt show it but they were a little upset. They were professionals and even they couldnt get anything out of him, what made him think that he could? Of course, they knew that the chief trusted Master Lin a lot. Hence, they didnt say much.
Liu Xiao Tian remained silent for a moment then he said, Theres a special way to handle special occurrences. If theres any problem, Ill take responsibility for everything.
In the interrogation room.
Wang Shen sat there and he looked calm. He didnt seem nervous at all.
When Lin Fan entered the room, Wang Shen bellowed, Young brother, you sure have a lot of connections. Youre acting like the police station is your home. When Im out of here, Ill definitely tell the world about this.
Liu Xiao Tian looked at Wang Shen and said, Stop pretending. Tell us the truth. Its better for the both of us.
The puzzled Wang Shen looked at Liu Xiao Tian, Chief Liu, youre wrong. I, Wang Shen, am an honest man. I do charitable deeds frequently. Why are you maligning me now? Ask yourself this question: shouldnt you feel guilty for accusing a good and kind citizen like me?
Lin Fan sat down and looked at Wang Shen. Chief Wang, stop lying. I already know what kind of person you are. Your service company is indeed decent. You and your late wife used to run this business, right? But retribution came. Your wife died of a terminal illness and she died a painful death. I believe you know the situation better than anyone else.
The eyes are the windows to ones soul. Any changes in ones thinking or feelings could be observed through their eyes. Wang Shen was expressionless as he just stared at Lin Fan. Then, he said, I dont know what youre talking about. Please provide evidence before accusing me. If not, Ill teach you a lesson when I get out of here. This is for accusing a good citizen like me.
Wang Shen was a little nervous. He didnt know how this chap managed to know about his past. But judging from the situation, they didnt seem to have any evidence. Why should he be afraid?
Lin Fan chuckled, Chief Wang, dont be nervous. Im actually a fortune-teller. Ive looked at your entire life experience and I also know about your future. Do you want to know?
Wang Shen waved his hands, Its all a gimmick. I dont believe it. Im just going to put it this way. If you have evidence against me, place it in front of me. If not, Ill definitely retaliate when I get out of here.
Lin Fan stood up, Chief Liu, lets go.
Liu Xiao Tian was stunned, Not asking any more questions?
Lin Fan smiled at Wang Shen, Look at him. Hes so full of vigor and. Hes full of experience. But the guy in the other room wont be this calm. Otherwise, he wouldnt have charged towards me and punched me to let his boss escape.
Wang Shen furrowed his brows and then he said, Stop dreaming. He has an intermittent mental illness. We cant rely on his words.
Lin Fan smiled, Chief Wang, why are you so nervous? Even if he really tried to accuse you, what could he say?
Liu Xiao Tian was stunned. Then, he looked at Lin Fan and said, Yeah, thats right.
Wang Shen took a deep breath and shut his eyes. He didnt speak any further.
