Chapter 650: An Unexcessive Request

~4 min read 655 words

Xie Wei lifted his head, glanced at him, said nothing, and lowered his head again.

His gaze was cold and indifferent, as if he had no interest in anything.

"Do your parents know about the things you've done?"

The moment Yu Dazhang spoke these words, Xie Wei immediately raised his head, eyes wide, face filled with shock.

"Didn't expect me to ask like this?" A faint smile played on his face.

Xie Wei said nothing; he simply stared fiercely at Yu Dazhang with his eyes.

"The records say you have a very close relationship with your parents."

Yu Dazhang's voice was calm, as if stating a fact:

"Every neighbor who knows you says you are a filial son, and your parents' evaluation of you is also very high."

He suddenly wore a look of contempt:

"Truly ridiculous, you, this filial son, specialize in breaking up other people's families."

"Tell me, if I tell your parents, your neighbors, and everyone who knows you that you are a human trafficker, what would their reaction be?"

Facing imminent death, Xie Wei no longer cared about his reputation, but would his parents not care?

Yu Dazhang simply wanted to see if this filial son of Xie Wei's was real or fake.

"You haven't notified my parents yet?"

This was the first sentence Xie Wei spoke after entering the interrogation room.

From his expression, it was clear he still cared about his parents' feelings.

"Not yet, temporarily."

Seeing him speak, Yu Dazhang sat opposite him and said coldly:

"Family members have the right to know. In compliance with legal regulations, we will notify your family as soon as possible."

After these words were spoken, silence fell over the interrogation room.

Xie Wei said nothing, but wore an expression of contemplation.

Yu Dazhang was not in a hurry; he simply watched him, waiting for him to figure it out.

About two minutes passed, and Xie Wei raised his head, looking across at him:

"Can you notify only my parents? In compliance with regulations, try to tell them as late as possible."

His face had originally carried a certain ferocity.

But as he spoke these words, a hint of softness appeared in his eyes, and much of the ferocity on his face had dissipated.

In this world, no one can truly be cold-blooded and heartless.

"The request isn't excessive."

Yu Dazhang nodded:

"If you cooperate, I can agree to it right now."

As long as it complies with regulations, agreeing to any request from a suspect is not a violation.

He understood Xie Wei would not open up so easily, but this was a good start.

"Are there any other requests?"

Yu Dazhang continued:

"You can state them first. As long as they fall within my authority, I will try my best to satisfy you."

This sentence carried a certain technique.

At first glance, it sounded like requests could be made freely; as long as you spoke up, this side would try its best to satisfy you.

In fact, it was just a blank check.

"State them first" was meant to draw out the other party's words, making them reveal their true thoughts.

And "within my authority" was for Yu Dazhang to decide.

In other words, any excessive request would not fall within this scope.

Silence fell over the interrogation room once again.

This time, Xie Wei's period of contemplation was much longer than the last.

Both sides were clear that the concept of leniency for confession no longer existed; what awaited Xie Wei was only a dead end.

Perhaps precisely because he considered this point, Xie Wei had hesitated to speak.

What is more terrifying than death?

With no hope of life, a person at such a time has no desires or demands.

His silence, in Yu Dazhang's eyes, was a very good signal.

This indicated Xie Wei had already decided to confess; he just hadn't yet figured out the conditions.
