Chapter 246: Did Xu Mo Put a Curse on Someone?
As soon as the words fell, Chen Ke beside Han Fei gave Xu Mo a disbelieving look.
"You?"
Then Chen Ke shook his head.
"Forget it, this kid is too stubborn. Even with all of us taking turns interrogating, it's useless. You don't know interrogation techniques; even if you go, it's pointless. Just rest."
When it comes to interrogation, ordinary people certainly lack the Police's professionalism.
Xu Mo does have strengths in other areas.
But regarding interrogation, Chen Ke thinks Xu Mo is no good.
"What if I can make him confess?" Xu Mo asked Chen Ke, staring.
Chen Ke blurted out without even thinking.
"I call you 'Dad'."
Hearing that, Xu Mo smiled, "Fine, just don't backtrack later."
He then looked at Han Fei.
"Let me try. After all, you have no other options right now, do you? Don't worry, I have a way to make him confess. Trust me."
Han Fei thought for a moment.
In the end, he nodded, "Alright, I'll take you to the Interrogation Room. Give it a try."
Xu Mo was right.
They truly had no other means now.
The suspect kept refusing to confess, they lacked key evidence, and when time ran out they'd have to release him.
Instead of dragging this out, they'd rather let Xu Mo try—treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
What if Xu Mo really does have a way to make the suspect confess?
And for some reason, Han Fei kept feeling that Xu Mo might have a method to get the suspect to plead guilty.
After all, Xu Mo truly is a rather "miraculous" person!
Led by Han Fei, Xu Mo arrived at the Interrogation Room's doorway.
Inside the Interrogation Room sat a man with a crew cut.
Having stayed up all night with the Police, his mental state was poor; his drooping eyelids hung low from fatigue.
"That's the suspect," Han Fei said through the glass, pointing at the person inside the Interrogation Room.
"Alright, I'll give it a try," Xu Mo nodded, saying as he prepared to open the Interrogation Room door and go in.
Before he entered, Han Fei didn't forget to remind Xu Mo.
"Don't rush. Wait until I finish speaking before you go in. Asking is fine, but you must not use force, understand? Torture is illegal,"
Xu Mo didn't respond to Han Fei's words; he just grinned.
He then pushed open the Interrogation Room door and walked in.
The Interrogation Room's layout was simple.
In the center was a chair for the suspect; in front stood a small table and two chairs for the interrogating Police and the officer recording the conversation.
A camera beside the table faced the suspect, and another camera in the room's southwest corner covered the area; on the right was a one-way glass where Han Fei and the others watched from outside.
Xu Mo didn't want his administering the truth serum to be discovered.
So, as soon as he entered, he turned off the camera beside the table.
He then moved to the suspect's left‑rear, blocking the southwest corner camera.
"Did you kill the person? Confess truthfully!" Xu Mo asked the suspect.
Han Fei: "..."
Chen Ke: "..."
This is the damn method Xu Mo claimed to have!?
What kind of method is this?
Shout a line and they just confess?
Clearly an inexperienced rookie.
That's way too naive!
Xu Mo finished with a single sentence.
The suspect lazily lifted his head and glanced at Xu Mo.
"Sir, how many times do you want to ask? I told you I'm just here to repair the sewer. Can you stop asking? I'm very sleepy, I want to sleep."
After speaking, he immediately lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Seeing that, Xu Mo slapped the suspect's shoulder.
"I'm asking you a question, what the hell are you sleeping for?"
And just then,
Xu Mo seized the moment, took the truth serum from System Space, and injected it into the arm he had just slapped.
The needle was very fine.
Moreover, because Xu Mo had just slapped the suspect's arm, the suspect didn't even feel the needle prick.
The front camera had been turned off by Xu Mo, so it didn't capture the moment he injected the suspect.
The southwest corner camera was blocked by Xu Mo's body and also missed the scene.
As for Han Fei and the others, the suspect's body blocked their view, creating a blind spot, so they also didn't notice what Xu Mo did.
They only saw Xu Mo strike the suspect.
Han Fei saw Xu Mo make a move and instantly became alarmed.
"I just told you not to hit anyone; why isn't Xu Mo listening!"
Fortunately, Xu Mo's strike wasn't harsh.
He only hit the shoulder, and at most it could just wake the suspect who was about to fall asleep; it was far from constituting severe torture for a confession.
Even so, Han Fei was ready to go back in and remind Xu Mo once more that he must not act again.
But before he could take off his headset, stand up, and walk into the Interrogation Room to remind Xu Mo,
an inconceivable scene unfolded in the Interrogation Room.
The suspect, who not long ago had been very defiant and refused to speak, suddenly lifted his head to look at Xu Mo and slowly said, "I killed the person…"
Han Fei: "???"
Chen Ke: "???"
So that's the opening move!?
Did Xu Mo try to lay a gu on this guy and fail?
Even with so many of them taking turns interrogating all night, they still couldn't get a result.
Xu Mo just entered and, damn, said two lines, and the suspect fell for it??
You must be kidding!
Not only Han Fei and Chen Ke, Xu Mo was also stunned.
He thought to himself that the system's reward really is a good thing.
It worked way too fast!
The next second.
Xu Mo walked back to the camera facing the suspect, reached out and turned the camera on.
"Wait, start from the beginning. Tell me if you killed the person, how you killed them, why you killed them—give me a full, detailed account."
The words just fell.
The suspect spoke again.
"I killed the person. That day someone called me, asking me to come over and fix the sewer, so I went. After finishing the repair, when it came time to pay, she thought it was too expensive. So we got into a verbal argument; she cursed me harshly. In a moment of anger I wanted to teach her a lesson, pressed her head into the bathtub and gave her a beating. By the time I was done, she was already dead. I really never intended to kill anyone."
"What about Cheng Xue? Did you also kill her?" Xu Mo continued to ask.
