Chapter 511: A Careless Willow Plant Grows Shade

After a while.

Hu Zong's brother-in-law and several senior executives of the company arrived.

All these people were the ones who originally took part in the construction of Binjiang Bridge, and the only ones still in the company now are these senior executives.

As for the construction workers back then, they have mostly retired because they are too old to do physical labor.

More than twenty years have passed, and the construction firm can no longer contact the workers who built Binjiang Bridge back then.

After the few arrived, Han Fei stood up and said.

"Everyone, we asked you to come here to clarify something; please come with us."

Hearing this, the few looked bewildered but still cooperated, nodded, and followed the officers out.

Xu Mo thought about saying something, but ultimately chose not to speak.

Through the Criminal Capture Radar, he could clearly tell that the people standing before him had never committed a murder and body‑hiding crime.

The skeletal remains found inside the Binjiang Bridge pier have nothing to do with them; the murderer back then was someone else.

Interrogation, in his view, is unnecessary, because taking these people back would be pointless—they know nothing, it's just a waste of time.

But he couldn't find a suitable excuse to persuade Han Fei not to interrogate them, so he simply stayed silent.

After returning to the Police Station, Han Fei separated the few and interrogated them one by one.

The first to be questioned was Hu Zong's brother-in-law.

In the Interrogation Room.

Xu Mo slouched in the chair, giving the impression of being somewhat passive and shirking.

Han Fei noticed Xu Mo's condition but said nothing; instead, he produced a photo taken on site and showed it to the man whose body had been hollowed out by alcohol and women, with heavy dark circles, while speaking and staring at his expression.

"We discovered a corpse inside a crumbling cement pier of Binjiang Bridge; the body was hidden there during the pier's construction..."

The man was stunned at first, then shook his head wildly.

"A corpse?! You don't think I killed this person, do you? No, no, no, it has nothing to do with me; I didn't even know there was a body in the pier!"

Although the man's expression was very panicked, Han Fei could see that he was likely not lying.

The panic might be from being frightened; after all, being suspected by officers of involvement in a homicide would make anyone nervous.

Han Fei, a bit uncertain, couldn't help but look at the "Human Lie Detector" beside him—Xu Mo.

"Han Team, he didn't lie; this case truly has nothing to do with him," Xu Mo replied, meeting Han Fei's gaze.

Xu Mo has a Criminal Capture Radar; as long as a criminal appears within his immediate vicinity, he can know what crimes the person has committed.

The corpse inside the pier indeed has nothing to do with the man before him, and Xu Mo could know that even without interrogation.

With Xu Mo's statement, Han Fei confirmed that the corpse had no connection to the man, and he was about to release him.

However, just as the man thought his suspicion was cleared and he could leave the Police Station, Xu Mo spoke again.

"Han Team, don't rush to release him; although the corpse has nothing to do with this kid, it doesn't mean he hasn't committed other illegal acts."

Han Fei's face was puzzled, not knowing what Xu Mo meant.

In the next second, Xu Mo walked to the man's side, sized him up, and said.

"Your dark circles are that heavy, and when you walk your legs swing like pendulums—clearly you've overindulged, and there's a whiff of massage oil on you... it's damn soaked in, you must have been getting a lot of 'big health' treatments, huh?"

Man: "???".

"You can tell that too?"

Even though Xu Mo saw through him, the man still shook his head and retorted, "How could that be? I've never done such illegal things!"

Xu Mo waved the phone that had been confiscated before the man was taken into the Interrogation Room.

"Do you need me to check your transfer and chat records?"

Hearing this, the man instantly recalled his chat records with a few familiar older women.

"Xilai Deng 318, looking for a young married woman."

"Xilai Deng 409, same young married woman as last time."

"Xilai Deng 207, same as usual."

"316, same as usual."

"...".

There are hundreds of similar chat logs; if Xu Mo were to examine his phone, it would be over.

Realizing this, the man voluntarily gave up.

"Alright... officer, I'll voluntarily confess: I once was led astray, lost control, I'm guilty, punish me! By the way, officer... can you keep this from my family?"

"Just once?" Xu Mo squinted.

"Umm... twice!"

"Hm?"

"Three times, three times, just three times, that's it."

"...".

Hu Zong's brother-in-law has no other hobbies, so the only illegal act he committed is this one, just repeated many times.

Next, Han Fei and Xu Mo interrogated several other people who had taken part in building Binjiang Bridge.

The result was much the same: these people didn't know about the corpse in the pier, and the murder twenty years ago had nothing to do with them.

However, although these people didn't take part in the murder twenty years ago and didn't kill anyone, they had all committed some crimes.

In short, after entering the Police Station, none of them could leave, because they were detained for their crimes.

The lightest case was Hu Zong's brother-in-law; although he broke the law, his offense was far lighter than the others'.

As for the others, their crimes were much more serious.

There were extortionists, kidnappers, hired killers, and others.

After the interrogation ended, Han Fei and his men were all stunned.

We originally only intended to solve a murder case, but who could have known that this murder case couldn't be solved, and instead Xu Mo incidentally solved several cases such as a blackmail case, a kidnapping case, a hired‑assassin assault case, and so on.

Could this be the proverbial saying that when you plant flowers with intention they don't bloom, yet when you plant willows unintentionally they provide shade?
