166: Chapter 160 Messing With People_2 166: Chapter 160 Messing With People_2 By this time, Li Jianye was actually cornered in the corridor, he just didn’t realize it yet. The rooms on both sides of the corridor were empty with locked doors. Woo... The electronic lock emitted a whirring sound as it unlocked. It was like the sounding of a horn, and more than a dozen strong men, bowing their heads and silent, burst out from both sides of the corridor. There was none of the romance of an arrest. None of the unspoken understanding between men. None of the struggle between spirit and flesh. There was nothing but the pure physical sounds of smacking. When Jiang Yuan arrived, he saw Li Jianye, who was about five foot seven inches tall, being pinned against the wall by two men at least six feet tall, forcing his face into a distorted shape. On either side of him, two men in tight clothes were using their shoulders to press tightly against his sides, pinning his arms down. Li Jianye didn’t even have the chance to flail his legs because two people were crouching on the ground, clamping his legs with their strong arms. Li Jianye’s calves were trapped in the armpits of the strong men, and the bends of his legs were being pounded with fists. At that moment, looking at the proportions of their bodies, Li Jianye’s thighs were not even as thick as the arms of the men below. This was an activity where 220 pounds were pitted against over 2200 pounds, and what Jiang Yuan saw was like a pig being slaughtered in the village, even the process of handcuffing was akin to the knife that pierces the pig’s heart, slow but resolute. “What’s your name?” Wu Junhao asked Li Jianye after the handcuffs were securely on, pulling on the arm of the person whose neck was restrained. Li Jianye remained silent. “You know what crimes you have committed?” Wu Junhao said loudly. Li Jianye rolled his eyelids and saw Jiang Yuan, then with a sound of realization, said, “You’re from Ningtai County?” Just this one sentence made it clear to the detectives that this guy’s crimes were definitely not isolated incidents. Of course, given his level of proficiency and audacity in committing crimes, it didn’t seem like he was just a rookie who had only done it once. “Take him back first.” Seeing this, Wu Junhao ceased questioning and started searching Li Jianye on the spot, even taking off his sweatpants’ waistband. Li Jianye had come to the hotel with luggage, with all other items packed in his suitcase, which didn’t need to be brought in and could be taken away as is. Both the person and the evidence were taken in one vehicle, while other officers stayed behind to take statements from the entire tour group to see if there was any evidence. Ideally, if there was an accomplice, they could be taken back together. After several hours of travel, they returned to Ningtai County by evening. The entire criminal police team was in place, all waiting for this individual. In terms of both number and mental state, they were more united than if they were awaiting a leader. “Get his DNA, take his fingerprints, take impressions of his feet, take shoe prints...” Upon seeing the suspect, Lu Jianfeng, the captain of the criminal investigation squad, immediately came over to scan for physical evidence. At the same time, Wu Junhao began to present the evidence he had found. “There are three different IDs, with matching bank cards, and phone cards, probably bought online,” Wu Junhao said as he displayed one of the first surprising items. “A debt collector wouldn’t need all of this. A complete set like this doesn’t come cheap,” Huang Qiangmin said, scanning the items with surprise. “It might’ve been cheaper in the past, but now a set like this could go for tens of thousands of yuan. His are different.” Wu Junhao picked up the IDs to show Huang Qiangmin the photos. Huang Qiangmin looked closely and was surprised to see that they somewhat resembled Li Jianye himself. Given the clarity of the ID photos, this slight resemblance could deceive many places. “This is a professional criminal. Check the IDs to see if they match any cases,” Huang Qiangmin adjusted the plan for handling Li Jianye, directing Liu Wenkai, captain of the second squad, to begin the interrogation. Liu Wenkai and Wu Junhao, one with a pen and the other with strength, were the strongest lineup under Huang Qiangmin. If it were a crackdown on solicitation, Liu Wenkai shined, and he also had his own methods for interrogation. After receiving the orders, Liu Wenkai first went into the bathroom, faced the mirror, and carefully combed his slicked-back haircut. Then, he dug out a sizeable amount of hair wax, meticulously applied it once more, and finally used a hairdryer to set it in place. Once he was ready, Liu Wenkai entered the interrogation room with steady steps. Gathering his momentum, Liu Wenkai was ready to show the suspect his authority. “Get me a cigarette, and bring something to eat,” Li Jianye pre-emptively spoke, demanding goods. Liu Wenkai was slightly taken aback. Typically, in such an environment, making requests often precedes a confession. Yet Li Jianye before him... Liu Wenkai quickly thought of a reason, “Have you left DNA and fingerprints at other crime scenes?” They had checked Li Jianye’s identity multiple times; the only indisputable chain around him was the biological information. Li Jianye paused, chuckled with a “heh,” and pointing at Liu Wenkai with his finger, said in a manner full of street smarts, “That’s no fun.” Liu Wenkai understood these self-proclaimed street-wise old-timers all too well and simply smiled. He cancelled the strategy he had prepared while grooming in the bathroom and swapped it for a warmer smile, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and placing it between Li Jianye’s outstretched fingers. After lighting the cigarette for Li Jianye, Liu Wenkai said, “If you’re involved in cases, be straightforward. Speak up if there’s anything you want to say. It’s better than being cornered later on by others, accused of bluffing and cheating.” The corners of Li Jianye’s mouth twitched, and he looked down at his cigarette, saying, “Li Qun, huh? The cigarette you chose is quite manly.” Liu Wenkai watched him and waited until he had inhaled half the cigarette in one breath before asking, “So, tell me, do you know why we caught you?”
