Chapter 627: Interrogation

In the interrogation room, Wu Changsheng's complexion was made somewhat deathly pale by the incandescent light.

Lin Dongfan's remark, "Who told you I was suspended?" was like rolling thunder, completely shattering Wu Changsheng's self-esteem, making him feel once again like a big fool being played around.

Indeed, upon reflection, there is still some difference between a verbal suspension investigation and a formal suspension investigation.

As the ancients said—once I pass the gate, there will be great scholars to defend the classics for me!

And now…

The Lin Dongfan sitting before him had already "passed the gate" and could reach the pinnacle of power! No matter how filthy the excrement on Lin Dongfan's buttocks, someone would help him lick it clean.

Before the pinnacle of power, Wu Changsheng doesn't even count as cannon fodder.

Wu Changsheng slumped powerlessly in the chair; the strength he had mustered to resist was drained completely, leaving only an indescribable sense of helplessness.

"... I'll cooperate."

When he collapsed to the point of being unable to struggle, Wu Changsheng still let out a despondent sound.

He reflected on the path he had walked.

Fishy wind and bloody rain!

Illegally possessing controlled firearms, he had killed several people. No matter how he cooperated with the investigation afterward, the chance of a suspended death sentence was slim. But even a one-in-ten-thousand hope could not be abandoned.

Wu Changsheng spat out miserably: "Ask away."

Lin Dongfan stared fixedly at Wu Changsheng: "First question: Is the person who secretly plotted and assisted your escape G Xiansheng?"

"Yes."

Wu Changsheng hesitated not at all; by now, concealment was meaningless.

"Second question..." Lin Dongfan's tone was steady yet carried immense pressure: "Is that mysterious G Xiansheng actually called Xu Jijun?"

"Xu Jijun?"

Wu Changsheng frowned, his face full of confusion and bewilderment.

He shook his head and answered truthfully: "I don't know whether G Xiansheng is called Xu Jijun, because I have never seen G Xiansheng's true face."

"You haven't seen him—then how do you stay in contact?" Lin Dongfan asked.

Wu Changsheng recalled: "At first we contacted online, then by phone. Whenever we met, he wore a knight's mask, dressed in Anglo‑style clothing, and had two swords slung at his waist. He gave the impression of a medieval European noble, exuding an elegant bearing."

He paused briefly.

Wu Changsheng continued: "Recently, Huang Duoduo has been relaying messages; Huang Duoduo is his subordinate."

"Third question,"

Lin Dongfan's gaze dropped to Wu Changsheng's damp, foul‑smelling crotch, a flicker of surprise crossing his face: "Did you piss your pants?"

"!!!"

The self‑esteem he had just rebuilt was instantly shattered again by Lin Dongfan.

Wu Changsheng instantly flushed with embarrassment; the indescribable humiliation made the atmosphere in the interrogation room grow resentful.

Wu Changsheng glared fixedly at Lin Dongfan: "Yes! Are you satisfied?!"

"Very satisfied."

Lin Dongfan smiled lightly, then silently mouthed a curse: "Trash like you, who has no regard for law, doesn't deserve any dignity! My dead egg?!"

After laughing, Lin Dongfan rose and left Interrogation Room No. 1, moving on to Interrogation Room No. 2.

Continuing the interrogation of Huang Duoduo.

Upon pushing the door open, the burly Huang Duoduo was already seated in the interrogation chair. Compared to Wu Changsheng's expression of utter collapse, Huang Duoduo appeared quite calm.

Despite having handcuffs on his hands.

Upon seeing Lin Dongfan, he politely rose to greet: "Director Lin, we meet again—I feel you're getting more handsome all the time."

"I'll accept this flattery—please have a seat."

Fan Ye's principle is simple: you give me face, I give you face. After gesturing for Huang Duoduo to sit, Fan Ye also sat down opposite.

Afterwards, the clerk seated nearby prepared to take the record.

Lin Dongfan asked casually: "Go on, who's your boss behind the scenes?"

"Director Lin, can we skip this question? I really don't want to betray anyone." Huang Duoduo wore a troubled expression.

Lin Dongfan eagerly discussed: "I really admire your integrity this time. Honestly, I think you're a man of quality."

"Thank you for your appreciation."

Huang Duoduo smiled relievedly, naively thinking Lin Dongfan had already agreed to avoid the topic.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dongfan shifted gears: "But I feel your train of thought is a bit tangled; want me to help you sort it out?"

"My train of thought..."

Although he couldn't see his own forehead, Huang Duoduo instinctively rolled his eyes upward to take a look.

Then he seemed to realize something.

With a look of astonishment he asked Lin Dongfan: "You wouldn't be suggesting my head was kicked by a donkey, would you? No, really not—I've grown this big and have never even seen what a donkey looks like."

"If it wasn't a donkey kick, maybe it was a door pinch," Lin Dongfan said.

Huang Duoduo furrowed his brows: "In other words, you're saying I'm stupid."

"Don't be discouraged, as the old saying goes, 'fools have fool's luck.' Lin Dongfan said: 'Tell me who your boss is, and I'll help you seek merit for a reduced sentence.'"

"I... truly don't want to betray anyone." Huang Duoduo's face showed distress.

Lin Dongfan patiently said: "Betraying others is indeed excessive. But isn't breaking the law, disrupting order, and infringing on others' legitimate rights also excessive?"

Huang Duoduo nodded dully: "Yes... it's a bit excessive..."

"That's right—since you're already such an excessive person, let's be excessive once more." Lin Dongfan lit a cigarette and added: "Don't test my patience—speak up, who's your boss behind the scenes?"

"G Xiansheng."

"What is G Xiansheng's name?"

"Xu San duo."

"Is your brain circuit system malfunctioning again? Xu San duo, this is a person from a TV drama."

"Really, G Xiansheng told me he's called Xu San duo. When I heard it, I was also puzzled—how could someone have such a name."

"You're Huang Duoduo, and your boss is Xu San duo. If you both belong to the 'Duo' generation, wouldn't that mess up the seniority? Think it over carefully—don't be muddle-headed first thing in the morning."

Lin Dongfan stared intently at Huang Duoduo's rough face, his interrogative gaze naturally carrying an aura of pressure.

The scene instantly fell into dead silence.

Huang Duoduo had a big head that was occasionally slow-witted, occasionally a bit clever.

He lowered his head and sank into thought for a while.

Suddenly he lifted his head to look at Lin Dongfan and blurted out: "My boss surnamed Xu, I surname Duo—no generational confusion."

This amazing comprehension left Lin Dongfan speechless in an instant—truly damn heaven-defying.

As it turned out, he had lowered his head and thought for Along time, continually pondering the generational issue.

Lin Dongfan slowly exhaled a wisp of melancholy smoke, speaking unhurriedly: "Now there are two possibilities: one, you're lying, trying to escape the embarrassment of betraying your boss; two, you're not lying…"

"I'm telling the truth, swear to heaven and earth."

Huang Duoduo's eyes shone with sincerity—two streams of pure, unblemished sincerity, yet tinged with a hint of nervousness.

Lin Dongfan probed: "Have you ever killed someone?"

Huang Duoduo decisively shook his head: "I never do that; our boss said—life is precious! In this world, if there's only one thing that must not be taken lightly, it's life."

!!!

Lin Dongfan looked left and right, the more he looked, the more depressed he became.

No matter from which angle you look, this guy doesn't seem to be lying. It's embarrassing—if he truly doesn't know his boss's real name, then this testimony is useless.

Lin Dongfan said: "You've been deceived by your boss."

"What has he deceived me about?" Huang Duoduo looked bewildered.

Lin Dongfan said: "He's surnamed Xu, but he's not called Xu San duo. Have you ever seen your boss's true face on Mount Lu?"

"I've been to Mount Lu—that's not my boss's place." Huang Duoduo replied firmly: "That's a national world-class cultural heritage; I know that."

Upon hearing that, Lin Dongfan actually felt a frustration of being lost for words.

Lin Dongfan glumly corrected: "You misunderstood—I wasn't asking that. It's my fault; my questioning was too literary, not down-to-earth. What I mean is, do you know what your boss looks like? Have you seen his appearance? If I brought him before you now, could you identify him?"

"He always wears a mask when he sees me; I don't know what he looks like." Huang Duoduo looked helpless: "Sorry, I'm holding you back."

It's fine.

Lin Dongfan pondered briefly, then asked again: "Does your boss have a woman by his side? Have you not seen her?"

"You mean the woman in the wheelchair, right?"

Huang Duoduo thoughtfully recalled: "Once I went to the hotel to find the boss, stood at the doorway without going in. Just outside I glanced in and saw a woman in a wheelchair inside, very pretty."

"Exactly, that's the woman in the wheelchair." Lin Dongfan eagerly pursued: "If I let you identify her, could you recognize her?"

Yes.

Huang Duoduo wore a look of certainty, and Han Jinling's appearance already surfaced in his mind.

At that point Lin Dongfan stopped questioning, handed the interrogation over to others, and personally led the team to summon Han Jinling!
