Chapter 420: Send her to the detention center!

Jin Ling Police Station.

As soon as Ma Lan arrived, she was taken directly to the Major Crimes Unit for interrogation.

Seeing the three words "Major Crimes Unit," Ma Lan trembled all over with fright.

Being taken to the interrogation room of the police station all the way, Ma Lan was already panicked and on the verge of collapse. She no longer had her previous arrogant momentum and was like a defeated rooster.

Inside the interrogation room, the incandescent light shone on Ma Lan's face.

Sitting opposite her were several officers from the Major Crimes Unit.

One of them said coldly to Ma Lan, "Criminal suspect Ma Lan, you are now the prime suspect, and the only suspect, of an overseas high-tech criminal gang. You must truthfully confess your criminal process, otherwise, what awaits you will be the judgment of justice."

At this very moment, Ma Lan immediately wailed, "Officer, you caught the wrong person. Ye Chen is the criminal suspect... No, he is the criminal. I am a law-abiding good citizen. I stole that card from his pocket, I didn't make it."

The officer frowned and said, "You say it's your son-in-law's, and we'll believe you? The card is on you, and you were the one who took it to the bank to withdraw money. You are the biggest suspect!"

Another officer beside him sneered and said, "I think this Ma Lan sees that the situation has been exposed and wants to pull her son-in-law to take the blame, right?"

After saying this, he stared at Ma Lan and said coldly, "You can even do such a crazy thing, you're too inhumane, aren't you?"

Ma Lan shouted that she was wronged, "What I said is all true. My son-in-law Ye Chen is really a swindler. He is best at scamming people. He is definitely a criminal!"

The officer slammed the table and said angrily, "I think you are the criminal! I'll say it again, leniency for confession, severity for resistance."

Ma Lan cried anxiously, "Officer, I have already confessed... If half a word of what I said is false, may I be struck by lightning!"

The officer shouted angrily, "This is the police station, do you think it's a temple? You're going to swear to heaven with me? I'm telling you! Confess your superiors, subordinates, and accomplices immediately. Tell me clearly about the criminal chain of your organization! Now Interpol from twenty-three other countries are all demanding to take you back to their countries for investigation. If you continue to resist, we will hand you over to the American police and let them take you to the United States for interrogation! I'm telling you, the American police are very violent in law enforcement. They often use torture to extract confessions. You're on your own!"

Ma Lan was so scared that she wailed, "Officer, I'm really wronged. Where would I have any superiors or subordinates? I just stole a bank card from my son-in-law and then got caught here. Please, I beg you, don't hand me over to the American police..."

The officer stood up and said to the others, "Criminal suspect Ma Lan has an arrogant attitude and refuses to confess to the crimes of forging bank cards and transnational fraud. Lock her in the detention center first and wait for further investigation."

Ma Lan was scared to tears and lay directly on the ground, acting like a shrew, "I'm not going to the detention center. You can't wrong a good person. If you wrong me again, I'll die here!"

The officer looked at Ma Lan, who was lying on the ground and refused to get up no matter what, and said coldly, "Carry her up and lock her in the detention center directly!"

"Yes!"

The others immediately carried Ma Lan up like a dead pig. No matter how Ma Lan cried and screamed, it was useless, and she was sent directly to the Jin Ling City Detention Center.

There are three detention centers in Jin Ling, specifically for detaining administrative and criminal detainees, as well as prisoners who have not yet been tried or have short sentences.

After the trial, prisoners with longer sentences are transferred directly to prison to serve their time.

These three detention centers in Jin Ling each have their own duties: one specifically for male suspects, one specifically for female suspects, and one specifically for juvenile offenders.

After the four members of the Xiao family were caught in the afternoon, they were sent to two detention centers respectively.

Old Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Weiwei went to the women's detention center, while Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong went to the men's detention center.

When she first entered the cell, Old Mrs. Xiao was still very unaccustomed to it. After being locked in, she sat on the simple bed, recalling her experiences during this period.

During this period, for Old Mrs. Xiao and the Xiao family, it was simply the greatest disaster. Old Mrs. Xiao's life's hard work and coffin money were all sealed by the court, and her own son wouldn't let her live in Tomson First Grade, and even called the police to have her thrown into prison. These things made her angrier the more she thought about them.

She sat cross-legged on the simple bed, and when she thought of the painful parts, she desperately slapped the bed and cried loudly, "What kind of sin have I committed? The family went bankrupt, my son won't support me, and he even teamed up with his daughter-in-law to send me to the detention center. This unfilial son is killing me! This is to make me die in the detention center!"

Xiao Weiwei sat on the side, also angry and sad, crying and saying, "Grandma, Second Uncle wasn't like this before. He used to be obedient to you and never dared to resist. Why is he so heartless now..."

Old Mrs. Xiao sneered and said angrily, "It's all because of that damn shrew Ma Lan! Since that shrew married into our Xiao family, she has never had good intentions. If it weren't for her blocking it all the time, your Second Uncle would have agreed to let us live in long ago!"

As she spoke, the old lady felt sad again, wiped away her turbid tears, and cried, "My life is really too bitter. In the future, when I go there and see the old man, if he knows I was forced to death by my daughter-in-law, I don't know how much he will pity me..."

The grandmother and granddaughter were in the cell, feeling sad, and hugged each other and cried.

Because the old lady was too old, the cellmates in the same cell rarely saw someone so old being sent to the detention center, so they all came over curiously to ask.

Among them was a tall and strong middle-aged woman who had been in this cell for three months and was the boss of this cell. She walked up and asked, "Old lady, is your daughter-in-law so bad? She even sent you to the detention center? What exactly is going on?"

"Yeah, what's going on? Tell us about it?"

Hearing someone ask, the other prisoners in the cell also gathered in front of Old Mrs. Xiao.

They were originally a group of gossiping old women, and the gossip they liked most was about family affairs, so they all hurriedly came over, pricked up their ears, and waited to hear the rest.

Old Mrs. Xiao was holding a belly full of evil fire with nowhere to vent.

Hearing so many people asking, she cried and said, "Let me tell you, my life is really bitter! My daughter-in-law is simply not human. She and her shameless loser son-in-law kept framing us, step by step causing our big family, which had a face in Jin Ling, to go bankrupt, not to mention making us owe a buttload of debt. Even our house was taken away by the court."

The fat woman said coldly, "How can there be such a bad person?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's face flushed red, and she said angrily, "They are simply too bad, bad to the core!"

"My grandson, granddaughter, and I were kicked out by the court and had nowhere to live, but their family bought a big villa in Tomson First Grade, worth over 100 million!"

"Our whole family has nowhere to go, but their family of four sleeps in more than a dozen bedrooms, they can't even sleep in them all!"

"I thought that they were my own son and daughter-in-law after all, no matter what, they wouldn't watch me wander the streets, right? So I went to rely on them. Who knew, they not only beat me, scolded me, and drove me away, but also called the police and said I broke into a private house and provoked trouble, letting the police catch us all!"

When the fat woman heard this, she immediately clenched her fists and said angrily, "I, Zhang Guifen, hate bastards who don't respect the elderly the most in my life! If it weren't for my brother-in-law's damn wife, my mother wouldn't have been angered into drinking pesticide and committing suicide! The reason I was sentenced to ten months of detention was because after my mother died, I beat my brother-in-law's wife up!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Guifen's eyes were already filled with anger and tears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Old lady, don't cry. If I have the chance to see your daughter-in-law, I will definitely beat her to death for you!"
