Chapter 125

Fang Hao claiming he was innocent at this moment.

Did not exceed Officer Zhang Hai’s expectations.

After facing off with Fang Hao multiple times.

He had long since learned Fang Hao’s habits.

This guy doesn't take the beaten path.

Using normal methods to make him confess won't work.

Every single point...

Must leave him with no way to avoid it!

Only then could Fang Hao be completely broken and forced to confess.

“Hmph! Fang Hao, oh Fang Hao... I know you too well.”

“For a criminal like you, standard interrogation methods won't cut it.”

“I knew you wouldn't confess easily.”

“But I might as well tell you.”

“Right now, there are millions of people watching you in our livestream.”

“And the vast majority of them...”

“Clearly know what happened when Officer Tan Qiao was interviewing you...”

“Do you really think you hid it well?”

A triumphant smile appeared on Zhang Hai’s face.

This time...

Regarding the criminal before him.

He would absolutely not underestimate him.

He would use his full strength from the very beginning!

“Everyone listen to my orders now!”

“Do not make a sound!”

“Listen carefully! Pay attention to any strange noises that might appear!”

“Cameraman, turn the audio gain to the max!”

“Everyone, silence!”

Following Zhang Hai’s order.

The scene instantly fell into deathly silence.

The people around didn't dare to speak.

Even their breathing slowed down significantly.

A dozen people sat in the living room, not daring to move.

Fearing that any friction with the surroundings would make even the slightest sound.

In the livestream footage.

A dozen people looked like they were playing Red Light, Green Light.

Everyone was completely motionless.

Including Zhang Hai and the person involved, Fang Hao.

They were also frozen in place.

The audience was stunned.

What are they doing?

A moment later.

Someone guessed Officer Zhang Hai’s intention.

[He is... he’s trying to make the victim cry out for help!]

[Hahaha! Zhang Hai is deliberately trying to mess with Fang Hao’s head!]

[Remember the cries for help from before? Officer Zhang Hai is trying to perfectly replicate that!]

[I’m dying of laughter! Officer Zhang Hai, you’re really going for the jugular!]

[I want to see... how Fang Hao handles this one, hahaha!]

[Let me tell everyone, Fang Hao is illegally detaining Song Zu in a room, and this guy cried for help not long ago!]

[Ah? Song Zu? The one who was deliberately trying to frame Fang Hao? Good riddance!]

[Song Zu dying at Fang Hao’s hands, I find that deeply satisfying!]

[Is Zhang Hai waiting for Song Zu, or Officer Tan, to cry for help a second time?]

[Hahaha! Let’s see how Fang Hao explains this one!?]

The audience became expectant.

Sure enough!

Officer Zhang Hai came prepared this time.

He wasn't just shooting in the dark!

In front of the camera.

Officer Zhang stared fixedly at Fang Hao.

A smile he couldn't hide appeared on his face.

He wanted to see...

After he records the sound in a moment.

What Fang Hao will do.

Since Fang Hao had no accomplices.

Restraining Fang Hao at this point was basically equivalent to stabilizing the situation.

So he wasn't in a hurry.

He wanted to peel back the layers and make Fang Hao confess.

At the livestream scene.

Fang Hao’s living room was completely quiet.

Time ticked by, second by second.

One minute passed...

Two minutes passed...

Three minutes passed...

Slowly.

A full ten minutes passed.

Slowly.

Officer Zhang Hai started to lose his composure.

In front of the camera.

His smile slowly stiffened.

Replaced by a look of total confusion.

This... what’s going on?

Where is the person?

Why is there no sound?

Victim, cry for help, damn it!

If you don't cry for help... it’s hard for us to do our job!

“Captain... ~...”

At the scene.

A police officer asked in a low voice: “Should we continue?”

Officer Zhang Hai gritted his teeth:

“Wait!”

He bit the bullet.

And waited for Fang Hao for a full twenty minutes.

The scene was silent.

Let alone cries for help... there wasn't even a peep!

And during these twenty minutes.

Fang Hao stared at Zhang Hai with an earnest gaze and a chuckle the whole time.

Zhang Hai couldn't hold it anymore.

Damn it...

Did this guy secretly move the crime elsewhere!?

He took a deep breath.

Under the curious gazes of his subordinates.

Zhang Hai finally gave up.

The police officers, who hadn't moved for over twenty minutes.

Could finally relax a bit.

Everyone let out a long sigh.

Some sat on the sofa, others leaned against the wall with hands on their hips.

They were exhausted.

“This... where is the sound!”

Officer Zhang Hai was bewildered.

“Not long ago... there was clearly a very distinct cry for help!”

“Could it be... could it be that you’ve already covered it up during this time!?”

“Fang Hao!”

“Confess immediately!”

He was a young police officer, after all.

Despite having experience facing off with Fang Hao multiple times.

He lacked the composure and steadiness of the veteran criminal investigator Ding He.

Even Ding He hadn't gotten the better of Fang Hao.

At this moment, Officer Zhang Hai had to admit...

He had miscalculated!

He had waited for a full twenty minutes.

The whole house was quiet, almost eerily so!

If it were said that the previous Song Zu might already be incapacitated... and couldn't make any sound.

Then Officer Tan Qiao and the cameraman from not long ago.

Must have been full of energy!

From the moment the stream cut off until now, it was at most an hour.

No matter how severely Fang Hao tortured them...

Officer Tan Qiao should still have had the strength to cry for help!

It’s not like Fang Hao could have killed Officer Tan Qiao...

“Officer.”

“As a law-abiding, good citizen.”

“I have always upheld the law as my code of conduct and never do things that bully others.”

“Occasionally on Saturdays, I even help old ladies cross the street.”

“A good person like me... is absolutely incapable of illegal detention.”

In front of the camera.

Fang Hao looked earnest and serious.

Those sincere eyes, never polluted by evil, looked softly at Officer Zhang Hai the whole time.

It made Officer Zhang furious!

Officer Zhang Hai gritted his teeth.

His fists were clenched tight.

Damn it, even at this point...

He still won't admit to the crimes he committed!?

“Hmph! Show him the recording!”

Under Zhang Hai’s order.

Regarding not long ago.

The livestream recording of Officer Tan hearing cries for help in Fang Hao’s house appeared on the screen.

And in the footage.

Officer Tan asked Fang Hao with some surprise what that cry for help was.

Seeing this, Officer Zhang Hai let out a cold snort.

Then he looked at Fang Hao in front of him:

“See that! Comrade Tan Qiao already asked you once before!”

“I want to ask you...”

“What was that cry for help about!?”

“You’ve always lived alone in this house, right?”

“Why would there be a second person’s weak voice in the basement!?”

“Is that person Song Zu! What did you do to him!?”

Officer Zhang Hai looked coldly at Fang Hao.

He wanted to see how, with the evidence now solid.

Fang Hao could still deny it!

In front of the camera.

Fang Hao looked at Officer Zhang Hai with a look of surprise.

“This... where is there any sound?”

“Why can’t I hear any cries for help?”

“I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.”

Sometimes...

The absurdity of things lies exactly in this.

The sound captured by Officer Tan Qiao in Fang Hao’s house was too faint.

If you say it’s Song Zu’s voice, or someone else’s weak cry for help.

The audience can immediately buy into it and think, yes, that’s right.

But if Fang Hao insists there is none, and it’s just ordinary background noise.

Zhang Hai can’t do anything about it either.

Just like the current situation.

That sound was truly blurry and faint.

Even with the volume turned all the way up...

One could only vaguely hear a sound that might or might not be there.

And Fang Hao said it was just noise.

He wouldn't admit it...

Zhang Hai could only classify it as noise.

“Officer...”

“Is there some misunderstanding here?”
