Chapter 1508: Interrogation
Zhai Weiping was taken into a small dark room, handcuffed to an interrogation chair, and then the people left.
The room suddenly fell into an eerie silence, without a sound, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen.
"Thump, thump, thump—"
At first, he didn't feel anything, but as time passed, he actually heard the sound of his own heartbeat.
This began to make him feel panic, especially here, where he completely lost the perception of time and light, and everything was forbidden.
The fear and loneliness of hearing his own heartbeat seemed to be magnified countless times by the frozen time.
He began to struggle, began to roar, began to curse, but got no response.
He didn't know how much time had passed, he was tired, but that kind of lonely fear was even worse than before.
Suddenly, he seemed to hear someone calling his name, one sound after another.
"Who? Who are you?"
Zhai Weiping raised his head and looked left and right, and then he seemed to see light, a girl beckoning to him, and the affectionate call came to his ears again.
"Come here, come here."
"Xiaomei!" Zhai Weiping saw his first love, and a warm smile appeared on his face: "So you didn't die, wait for me, wait for me."
Zhai Weiping tried his best to reach out to grab, but he seemed to be bound by something, his whole body couldn't move, making him anxious and covered in sweat.
"Xiaomei, I can't move, you wait for me, don't go."
He began to struggle desperately, roaring crazily, bloodstains appeared on his wrists wearing handcuffs, and then he began to bleed, but he seemed to feel nothing at all.
Just at this moment, the door creaked open, and light that wasn't too strong was projected in from outside.
Stimulating Zhai Weiping's eyes with a sharp pain, he hurriedly closed his eyes.
A middle-aged man and a young man walked in, both wearing plain clothes.
Immediately after, they walked behind the interrogation table and sat down, then turned on the light.
Only then did they see Zhai Weiping's face clearly, what it looked like.
Pale, like a piece of white paper, without a drop of blood.
And on this pale face, there were sweat beads, dense and numerous.
What shocked them even more was Zhai Weiping's blood-stained wrists.
The two of them never expected that in just over three hours, Zhai Weiping would become like this.
They had only heard of this interrogation method, and today was the first time they used it, and they didn't know who invented it; this was too perverted.
Zhai Weiping slowly opened his eyes, his first love was gone.
He also understood that he had hallucinations just now, but at this moment he was even more afraid.
A person locked in a small dark room, without light, without sound, only able to hear his own heartbeat, this was too terrible.
The middle-aged man spoke: "I am Wang Liqiao, the captain of the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Do you know why you were arrested?"
Zhai Weiping was silent, and the young man snorted coldly: "Answer honestly, otherwise, you will continue to stay in this small dark room alone."
Zhai Weiping shuddered: "I know!"
Wang Liqiao smiled: "If you know, then talk about it."
Zhai Weiping would rather go to prison than stay in the small dark room alone again.
"I gave the Deputy Director of the Industrial Department, Xiong Zhaoming, fifty thousand yuan, and promised him to build a factory in Fengjing, letting him go to the Yuzhou Technology Research Institute in the name of inspection and research, to probe the research and development projects of the institute."
Wang Liqiao asked: "You are Lenovo's business manager in Fengjing. Did you bribe Xiong Zhaoming to go to the Yuzhou Technology Research Institute to steal research and development secrets because of business competition?"
"No!" Zhai Weiping shook his head: "This has nothing to do with Lenovo. It was a British man named David who gave me twenty thousand US dollars, letting me find a way to investigate what projects the Yuzhou Technology Research Institute was researching."
"British man?" Wang Liqiao sneered: "How did he find you, and why didn't he go directly to bribe the people at Yuzhou Technology?"
"Because I knew this person before." Zhai Weiping hesitated: "I have a good relationship with an engineer in the company, and this David is also a friend of that engineer.
Once I went to the Beijing headquarters for a meeting, and that engineer friend introduced David to me, and we even drank together twice."
The young man's eyes lit up: "What is the name of this engineer, and where does he live?"
Zhai Weiping said: "He is from Xiangjiang, named Chen Zhongze. Because the company also has a research laboratory in Xiangjiang, Chen Zhongze rarely comes to the mainland, unless there is an important meeting..."
Because of Zhai Weiping's cooperation, the interrogation went smoothly and was finished in half an hour.
Wang Liqiao and the young man came out, took out cigarettes, lit one, and took a fierce puff.
"This case is very complicated."
The young man looked at the transcript in his hand: "This is definitely not an ordinary commercial espionage case."
Wang Liqiao nodded: "The Yuzhou Technology Research Institute must be researching some important technology project, so it was targeted by foreign spies."
"I don't know what they are researching either." The young man said softly.
"This is not something we should know." Wang Liqiao warned the young man: "However, the Yuzhou Home Theater is really good."
The young man asked curiously: "Captain, did your family buy one?"
"Bought it. Doesn't your sister-in-law love to sing? She kept shouting to buy it, and the children followed suit, so I had to buy it."
As he spoke, Wang Liqiao looked pained: "Even though I am a Party member and have a subsidy policy, it cost me a year's salary."
The young man curled his lips: "Sister-in-law's salary is much higher than yours. Buying a home theater must have been with her own money."
"You know nothing." Wang Liqiao snorted: "When a couple lives together, how can you divide yours and mine? Isn't her money mine? Of course, my money is also hers."
The young man chuckled: "Captain, this New Year, didn't your sister-in-law come?"
Wang Liqiao asked vigilantly: "Why are you asking this?"
"Aren't you asking what you already know?" The young man pointed to his own nose: "I am still a bachelor, and isn't your sister-in-law also single? I think we are quite suitable."
"I don't think it's suitable." Wang Liqiao snatched the transcript from the young man's hand and kicked the young man's butt: "Have someone send Zhai Weiping to the detention room, and then all get lost home for the New Year."
The young man rubbed his nose and said unwillingly: "Captain, let's discuss it properly. If we become brothers-in-law..."
"Get lost!" Wang Liqiao glared and raised his foot to kick again.
The young man hopped out: "I just want to be your brother-in-law, not your brother-in-law's husband, why are you getting angry?"
"I..."
Wang Liqiao stepped forward to chase, and the young man ran away.
"Captain, you should consider it carefully."
……………………
Beijing!
It was already dark, and Fourth was taking the children to throw firecrackers and set off hand-held fireworks in the alley.
Zhou Anqin was holding more than ten aluminum lunch boxes, packing dishes into them.
Zhou Andong came to the kitchen, burping: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Anqin said: "Three roommates didn't go home, I'm packing some dishes to send over, to have a New Year's Eve dinner with them."
Zhou Andong said helplessly: "Why don't you call them over to spend the New Year together?"
Zhou Anqin was also helpless: "I called, they won't come, I have no way at all."
"I'll have Zhao Hong drive you over." Zhou Andong turned and left: "In the evening, have them come over to eat dumplings, watch the gala, and then go set off fireworks together."
"Okay!" Zhou Anqin agreed happily, then turned her head and asked: "Are you going out too?"
Zhou Andong waved his hand without looking back: "I have something to go out for, I reckon it won't take long before I'm back."
"Andong!" Zhou Xianyong asked: "Where are you going?"
"To the bar." Zhou Andong asked: "Are you going?"
"Going!" Bored, how could Zhou Xianyong not go.
"I'm going too." Zhou Yu heard the sound and ran over with a cheeky smile. ===== CHAPTER 1509 =====
