Did they take the bait?
Chapter 479 Did they take the bait?
"What's wrong? Why do I suddenly have to go with you?" The boss suddenly became anxious and flustered. "I'm just an ordinary citizen. I haven't done anything. Why do I have to go?"
"I ask you a question and you lie to me, I ask you a question and you lie to me, if I don't take you with me, who will I take with me?" Zhuang Yanzheng raised his voice, "Come out!"
He suddenly shouted, startling the boss.
Su Miaoyi was also startled. She looked at them, then walked behind Zhuang Yanzheng, patted him on the back, and then wandered over to the hardware store before leaving.
The boss stammered, "I didn't lie, I didn't lie, everything I said is true."
"What about the surveillance footage?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Where did the surveillance footage go?"
"There are no surveillance cameras, there really are no surveillance cameras."
"Then tell me, when was this shop renovated?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked again.
"That must have been more than ten years," the boss said.
"Then tell me about that nail hole in the wall, when was it made?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked again.
"This must have been going on for over ten years," the boss said.
"Come out, come out right now," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "You're lying to the police, you'll have to come with me."
"No, I didn't lie to you, how could I dare to lie to you?" the boss said.
Zhuang Yanzheng said, "That hole in the wall looks like it was made recently when they were dismantling something. They even told me it's been there for ten years. Do they really think I'm easy to fool? Come out."
"I'm not lying, I really am not!" the boss said.
Su Miaoyi walked in: "I just asked around and heard that you are a relative of the boss and only came here a year ago. The boss hasn't shown up since you arrived."
Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the boss: "You're not lying, you say you're the boss, so where is the boss?"
"Yes, yes, I'm a relative of the boss. The boss went back to his hometown on business. I've been here for over a year. I just blurted it out." the boss said.
"Come out first," Zhuang Yanzheng told him to come out from behind the cashier.
The boss slowly walked out, and just as he was about to reach Zhuang Yanzheng, he suddenly drew his knife.
Zhuang Yanzheng quickly moved to the side.
The man thrust the knife in his hand toward where he was hiding.
Su Miaoyi pulled Zhuang Yanzheng away and kicked the man as she did so.
The man was kicked backward and turned to run away.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng immediately gave chase.
Zhuang Yanzheng grabbed the man by the back of his collar in a few steps, and the man turned around and brandished the knife in his hand.
Zhuang Yanzheng dodged left and right, but his coat was slashed open by the knife.
He clicked his tongue, grabbed the man, and smacked him.
Su Miaoyi kicked the knife out of his hand, and Zhuang Yanzheng quickly pinned him against a nearby shelf.
"Let me go! Let me go! I didn't do anything, why are you arresting me?" the man shouted.
"You assaulted a police officer." Zhuang Yanzheng handcuffed his hands and patted the hole in his clothes. "This is the evidence."
"I didn't, I didn't!" the man shouted.
Su Miaoyi picked up the knife from the ground and put it into the evidence bag.
Zhuang Yanzheng took the person away.
The two men took the man to the city police station.
"Captain Zhuang? This is..." Qi Feng looked at the man.
"The owner of the supermarket with the receipt." Zhuang Yanzheng handed him over, "Interrogate him."
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment before realizing it was a supermarket receipt, and quickly led the people to the interrogation room.
"Sister Miaomiao, you're here?" Chu Xingrou was very happy to see her. "Is there any new progress in the case? Do we no longer need to avoid each other?"
“No, I’ve come to see Fan Ning,” Su Miaoyi said.
"Okay, okay," Chu Xingrou said. "Fan Ning is like he's possessed; he only says one thing: he wants to see you."
"You're busy, I'll go see him."
"it is good."
Su Miaoyi went to the interrogation room to see Fan Ning.
Fan Ning maintained the same attitude as before, insisting on seeing Su Miaoyi, but then remaining silent once they met. He still ordered all the machines to be turned off, but didn't let the other police officer leave. Su Miaoyi patiently asked questions little by little, but finally couldn't bear it any longer and left the interrogation room to calm herself down.
Zhuang Yanzheng poured her a glass of water.
Su Miaoyi drank it all in one gulp: "Why can't I beat him up?"
“It’s not like you’re a new policeman. Why do you think that is?” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"Even though I'm not a police officer anymore, does that mean I can't hit him?"
"You've even made it into the interrogation room, what's the difference between you and a police officer?" Zhuang Yanzheng said. "Alright, calm down."
Su Miaoyi took a deep breath, turned around, and went back into the interrogation room.
Fan Ning looked at her.
Su Miaoyi said, "Are you going to confess or not? If you don't, I'm going home after get off work."
Fan Ning remained silent.
Su Miaoyi looked at him, and after a while, she filled a paper cup with water and walked to his side, placing it in his hand: "I'll give you a cup of water to think it over. If you're going to talk, then tell me everything bit by bit. If you're not going to talk, then today will be the last time we see each other."
Fan Ning looked up and gazed into her eyes.
Su Miaoyi stared at him intently, put down her water glass, and sat back down in her chair to wait for him.
Fan Ning didn't know what Su Miaoyi meant. He looked at the water glass next to him, and after a while, he picked it up and took a sip.
After finishing his water, he noticed an indentation on the cup, like a scratch made by a fingernail.
He glanced at Su Miaoyi.
Su Miaoyi was tidying up the documents on the table without looking up, but she could feel him watching her.
Fan Ning looked at the water glass again, stroked it for a moment, and then tilted his head back and drank all the water.
"Shall I tell you?" Su Miaoyi asked, seeing that he had drunk all the water.
Fanning held the cup without saying a word.
Su Miaoyi didn't say anything, but she didn't go out either; she just sat in the chair.
After a moment of silence, Su Miaoyi asked, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Fan Ning ignored her.
After a moment of silence, Su Miaoyi said, "Is it because I arrested you that you're deliberately getting revenge on me? You keep tormenting me."
Fan Ning remained silent.
Su Miaoyi slammed her hand on the table.
Fan Ning didn't even look at her.
Su Miaoyi was so angry that she put her hands on her hips.
Zhuang Yanzheng watched from outside, thinking to himself: He acted quite convincingly.
Lu Zhishen walked over.
"When did you get back?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked him.
"Didn't I say in the group chat that I was back?" Lu Zhishen said. "I figured I couldn't get anything out of Jiangcheng, and the bureau was busy too, so I came back."
"Oh." Zhuang Yanzheng looked back into the interrogation room.
Su Miaoyi said something again, but Fan Ning ignored her again.
Su Miaoyi fell silent.
Then Fanning suddenly threw the cup away.
"What are you doing? You've messed with me, and now you're getting angry." Su Miaoyi stood up. "I'm asking you one last time, are you going to tell me or not?"
Fanning glared at her.
Su Miaoyi snorted coldly and turned to leave the interrogation room.
After a while, the police took Fan Ning away from the interrogation room, and Su Miaoyi went to the interrogation room to retrieve the cup.
"What's this? What's wrong? Why are you picking it up?" Lu Zhishen didn't understand.
Su Miaoyi raised one corner of her mouth and gave a mischievous smile: "Quickly check if the fish has really taken the bait, and see what it's scratched on."
