Chapter 483: Wang Bo's Whereabouts

Wang Yi is involved in a murder case; although the case hasn't been concluded yet and he hasn't been tried, Wang Yi is not free at the moment—he is temporarily detained in prison.

Li Dui brings Han Fei, Xu Mo and their party to the prison, intending for Xu Mo to see Wang Yi.

Honestly, he doesn't think Xu Mo can get Wang Yi to reveal Wang Bo's whereabouts.

After all, if Wang Yi confesses, he will face the death penalty.

A miserable death is worse than a miserable life; even though prison is dark, it's still far better than the death penalty, right?

Unless Wang Yi's brain is broken, the responsible party definitely won't reveal Wang Bo's whereabouts.

After the party set off for the prison, the police officers at the local Police Station instantly went into an uproar.

"Do you really think Xu Mo can make Wang Yi disclose Wang Bo's whereabouts, catch Wang Bo, and close this case?"

"How could that be? Whether Wang Yi knows Wang Bo's whereabouts is still uncertain; when we interrogated him before, he adamantly said he didn't know where his brother was. Wang Yi knowing Wang Bo's whereabouts is just a hypothesis."

"Right, and don't forget, Wang Yi has been locked up in prison for a long time; he has no access to outside information. Maybe he knew Wang Bo's whereabouts at first, but that was years ago. Wang Bo is a living man; can he stay hidden in the same place for years?"

"Exactly, Wang Yi isn't mentally ill; revealing Wang Bo's whereabouts offers him no benefit, and he can't be unaware of that."

"Unless we subject him to severe torture, making his life worse than death, then he might confess... but that's against regulations."

"…"

The officers almost all doubt Xu Mo; no one thinks he can get Wang Bo's whereabouts from Wang Yi's mouth.

Xu Mo's knack for solving cases is one thing; interrogation is another.

Especially since if Wang Yi tells the truth, he'll face the death penalty; unless he's ready to die, he can't possibly reveal his older brother's whereabouts.

……

The party took the car and arrived at the prison quickly.

Here, they met Wang Yi.

Since the officers came to investigate, the prison prepared a small private room for the meeting.

Both the officers and the prison guards bear the "police" insignia, making them half colleagues; therefore, when the officers met Wang Yi, the guards didn't stare at them as they would with other inmates, but stayed at the doorway of the small room.

They didn't go inside to watch for another reason: the officers are there to investigate, and the investigative process must not be leaked, nor can outsiders watch from the side.

Inside the small room.

Wang Yi doesn't know Han Fei and Xu Mo, but he does know Li Dui.

He doesn't even need to think to know why they're here, and immediately adopts an impatient attitude.

"Why are you back again? I've said it over and over—I really don't know where my brother is. There's no point in looking for me!"

"If you really have the skill, go catch him; we'll sentence him however we want, so stop bothering me, okay?" ωωw.. net

After speaking, Wang Yi even called out to the guard outside the door: "Officer, I want to return to my cell."

The guard opened the door, glanced inside, saw nothing unusual, and several officers gave him a reassuring look; the guard then closed the room door again, ignoring Wang Yi.

Seeing this, Li Dui whispered to Han Fei and Xu Mo.

"That kid is just a piece of tough meat; no matter how you ask, he won't say anything. We previously suspected he knew his brother Wang Bo's whereabouts, and we came to him many times, but he said nothing... interrogating him is actually pointless."

Li Dui is trying to persuade the two to abandon the Wang Yi lead and start investigating elsewhere.

There's no other reason; mainly Wang Yi's mouth is too tight—no matter how you ask, he won't speak. Severe torture might extract something, but that's illegal.

Han Fei stayed silent, only giving Xu Mo a look.

Li Dui doesn't know Xu Mo's abilities, but he does, because he's witnessed them many times.

"Not say? That's impossible!"

Facing Xu Mo's interrogation, even the most tight‑lipped prisoner will confess—no exceptions.

Li Dui still underestimated Xu Mo's capability... Han Fei thought.

"You know where your brother Wang Bo is, right?" Xu Mo asked, staring into Wang Yi's eyes.

The eyes are the windows of the soul; you can tell if someone lies just by looking at them.

Even if he hides well, some irregularities can be seen in his gaze.

Xu Mo's plan is: if Wang Yi truly doesn't know Wang Bo's whereabouts, he'll turn and leave, since lingering here is pointless.

But if Wang Yi knows Wang Bo's whereabouts, he'll give him a dose of truth serum.

Under the truth serum, even Wang Yi's tight mouth will speak the truth.

"Don't know, don't know, don't know, comrade police, I really don't know; no matter how many times you ask, it's useless."

Although Wang Yi vehemently denies it, the officers still spot a hint of deception in his expression and eyes; they're professionals, and detecting lies is easy for them.

Li Dui beside them also sighed.

He's a veteran criminal investigator, so he can tell Wang Yi is most likely lying, but that doesn't help—knowing he's lying changes nothing. If Wang Yi doesn't speak, they have no way; they can't just resort to torture, can they?

There's drama—looks like Wang Yi really knows Wang Bo's whereabouts! Xu Mo's mind flickers, and he steps toward Wang Yi.

"Team Leader Xu..." Li Dui sees Xu Mo stand and walk toward Wang Yi, just about to remind him to keep his distance, but is stopped by Han Fei.

"Li Dui, don't interfere; Team Leader Xu has his own unique interrogation method, just watch."

Han Fei adopts an unflappable demeanor, leaving Li Dui very puzzled.

A unique interrogation method? No matter how unique, how much can it really achieve? Can it make this tough meat tell the truth?

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Mo had already reached Wang Yi, lightly patting his shoulder.

The next second, Xu Mo stared at Wang Yi, his gaze forceful as if threatening him.

"You brother Wang Yi, where exactly is he?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Dui couldn't help but frown, thinking, "Staring threateningly is Xu Mo's unique interrogation method?"

"This is absurd—how could that possibly work!"

"Wang Yi isn't a scaredy‑cat!"

But what Li Dui didn't expect is that under Xu Mo's threatening gaze, Wang Yi actually cracked!

Under the big willow tree behind the house in my hometown.

Under the willow tree? You killed him?

Yes.

Li Dui: "???"

Li Dui, who witnessed all of this with his own eyes, was dumbfounded.

What the heck? Wang Yi summoned?!

He killed his brother Wang Bo??

And buried him under the willow tree at his hometown??
