Chapter 203: Old Wang went to your house to fix the water pipes
This is Lin Dongfan's first time coming to interrogate Kang Shaoxiong.
The two accompanying investigators, one responsible for taking notes and the other for filming, this year's law enforcement recording devices have just begun to be popularized and applied, and are not very advanced.
In the detention cell, Kang Shaoxiong is the big boss admired by his fellow inmates.
Upon entering the interrogation room and seeing the steadfast Lin Dongfan, Kang Shaoxiong's sense of pride vanished, replaced by an indescribable feeling of defeat, constantly exuding a suffocating atmosphere.
"Speak up, is there something you want to ask me for?"
After Kang Shaoxiong sat down, he struggled to maintain the composure of a big shot.
Facing the drastically changed Kang Shaoxiong, Lin Dongfan narrowed his eyes and frowned: "You've lost weight—is it from insomnia or not eating enough?"
"I eat well and sleep soundly until dawn, feeling great." Kang Shaoxiong chuckled lightly: "You want to see me make a fool of myself? You've come to the wrong place. Do you know what the ultimate realm of weight loss is?"
"What is it?"
"The ultimate realm of weight loss is to stir up trouble, then stay here for a few months; not only will you lose weight completely, but your food and lodging are also paid for by the state."
"Damn, you actually figured out a weight-loss shortcut—awesome."
"That has to be awesome. I, Kang Shaoxiong, outside can call for wind and rain; inside, I'm still material for a cell block leader. The few brothers in the cell, regardless of background, all obey my orders."
"Now that you've succeeded in losing weight, do you want to get out early?"
"No."
"No?"
"Right, I don't want to. We're in the same line of work; I know your tricks. You just want me to loosen up, to trap me with merit through service? I won't let you."
Upon saying that, Kang Shaoxiong was as if Lin Dongfan's vital point had been struck.
A smug smile spread across his face.
Lin Dongfan calmly reminded him:
"Three years ago, you obtained Shen Bing's criminal evidence, but you let her go, disregarding the law.
Afterwards, Shen Bing transferred five million annually to your overseas account as hush money.
Right?
If there were no evidence, I wouldn't have come to you.
If you confess now and hand over Shen Bing's criminal evidence, it's not too late.
You know the consequences of resisting investigation; in the future you'll definitely face the maximum penalty, and even if you wear out the prison floor, you might not get out."
Counterattack is just that simple.
In a few words, Lin Dongfan left Kang Shaoxiong dazed and stunned.
Kang Shaoxiong originally thought Lin Dongfan would focus the investigation on Jia Yuzhang.
That way, there would be little to worry about; Jia Yuzhang has never been one to easily submit, and besides, the Jia surname holds high rank, so ordinary people can't move him.
I never expected Lin Dongfan to target the already-resigned Shen Bing.
Damn it!
You stab wherever the link is weak.
But Shen Bing's criminal evidence must absolutely not be handed over to Lin Dongfan.
Otherwise, the consequences would be more than Kang Shaoxiong could bear; by then, not only would merit-based sentence reduction be out of the question, he might not even see tomorrow's sun.
Handing over Shen Bing's criminal evidence would not just implicate Shen Bing herself, but also the bigwigs behind her.
On this terrifying chain of corruption, Kang Shaoxiong can't afford to offend anyone.
Over the past three years.
Shen Bing deposited five million each year into his overseas account—not hush money, but oil field dividends, yes! Kang Shaoxiong himself is also a member of this corruption chain.
He pondered painfully for a while…
Kang Shaoxiong forced himself to argue: "Three years ago, I lost my ID; the so-called overseas account was opened by someone else using my stolen ID, and has nothing to do with me."
"Are you sure you want to resist the investigation?" Lin Dongfan gave a half-smile, his eyes fixed on Kang Shaoxiong.
Kang Shaoxiong weakly lowered his head, avoiding Lin Dongfan's sharp gaze: "Who's resisting the investigation? This is absurd; I'm being framed here—watch out, I'll sue you!"
"Heh, if this is a frame-up, why don't you raise your head confidently? Look at me and answer!"
As he said the last sentence, Lin Dongfan intensified his tone.
Kang Shaoxiong jerked his head up, face flushed: "Fine, I'll raise my head—do you think I'm scared of you? Damn hilarious! I warn you, stop threatening me here; I'm not easily intimidated!"
"Last night, your wife seemed thirsty and called Old Wang from next door to fix your pipes—do you really not want to get out early?" Lin Dongfan gazed at Kang Shaoxiong with deep meaning.
Kang Shaoxiong scoffed lightly: "This is just psychological warfare I've played out; you can't fool me."
"Your wife has a black butterfly tattoo on her left thigh." Lin Dongfan furrowed his brows.
Kang Shaoxiong still wasn't convinced: "It's hot; my wife likes wearing shorts, so showing the tattoo on her thigh is normal—it proves nothing."
Lin Dongfan added: "When you're not around, Old Wang calls your wife 'black butterfly' every day."
Kang Shaoxiong's face darkened with anger: "Bullshit! Give him a hundred guts, he still wouldn't dare!"
"Sigh… you're overconfident; Old Wang is more capable than you…" Lin Dongfan shook his head and placed a high-definition photo in front of Kang Shaoxiong.
Kang Shaoxiong stared intently; his eyes almost popped out.
What an explosive scene!
That unfaithful wretch actually fixed the pipes and ended up in bed, the position… damn! After over ten years of marriage, I've never used that position with you, and it ended up benefiting Old Wang.
"Do you want to get out early?" Lin Dongfan asked patiently.
Kang Shaoxiong, like a beast whose emotions have collapsed, despite the handcuffs making movement awkward, still tore the photo into pieces.
Finally, he slammed both hands hard onto the table.
He glared at Lin Dongfan and roared: "It's just that Old Wang stole my home? Once I get out, I'll first sleep with Old Wang's wife, then his daughter! I'm rich—there's no woman I can't handle!"
"I'm asking you, do you not want to get out early?" Lin Dongfan stared unblinkingly at Kang Shaoxiong.
Kang Shaoxiong was just like someone had stepped on his tail.
He hammered the table again with his fists.
He strained his neck and roared madly: "I don't want to! I don't want to! I don't want to get out early at all! Bring on whatever psychological attacks you have, you fucking, I'll take them!"
"I gave you a chance, you're useless, so just stay in here."
Lin Dongfan shook his head, sighed, couldn't be bothered to say more, got up ready to leave.
Kang Shaoxiong roared like a beast:
"Lin! Today you humiliated me, you've had your fun! But you damn it, don't get too pleased too early—no one can give Song Wen a retrial, I say that! Don't believe it? Wait and see, if you don't know when to advance or retreat, not only will Song Wen not survive, his wife will die too! And you, you'll die without a whole body!"
"Cornered dog jumping over the wall, huh? So noisy."
Lin Dongfan gazed at the emotionally collapsed Kang Shaoxiong.
The more I look, the more I think this guy is... that... whatever, pitiful people must have something hateful about them!
With his lowly nature, he deserves the green hat Old Wang gave him.
Lin Dongfan shook his head with mixed feelings: "Remember to read the newspaper every day; if nothing unexpected happens, at most a week later you'll see the news of Shen Bing's arrest in the paper. Whether you confess or not, it actually doesn't affect me much. What are you staring at? I'm just that awesome."
"Go ahead and try to arrest me if you dare!!!"
"Don't be unwilling, my wife's eyes only have me; no one can sway her."
"Who's in your wife's eyes, none of my business!"
"Well, I just want to tell you, people comparing themselves to others die of anger; heaven is too unfair to me, basically it doesn't give me a chance to wear a green hat."
"Pfft!!!"
Kang Shaoxiong angrily spat out a couple of taels of old blood, on the spot forgetting he still had nine houses and 15 million overseas savings; his mind went blank, who am I? Where am I? Why does my chest faintly ache?
