"How is it?"

Liu Wenkai walked into the empty dormitory next door with a smug smile, while Big Zhou, Zhou Jiantao, was still resisting stubbornly.

His deputy had also interrogated many cases. Although he hadn't interrogated anything at this time, he was quite confident and said: "Just hard-mouthed, give me a few more hours..."

"No need, Little Zhou has already confessed." Liu Wenkai smiled at Big Zhou and said: "Whether he confesses or not, it's just like that. Our work is basically completed. Leave the rest to the special task force that handles the case later."

He said it half-truthfully. Analyzing from the benefits, Liu Wenkai basically ate all the biggest benefits that could be obtained from this wave of arrests. Whether Zhou Jiantao confesses or not makes no difference.

However, Little Zhou actually didn't confess his brother Zhou Jiantao, but gritted his teeth and insisted that he committed the crime independently.

Theoretically, with his testimony, the police can basically close the case. Although there is the testimony of the little boy, claiming that there were two people at the scene, in the previous round of investigation, the police actually didn't believe his testimony, but regarded it as a means to protect his father.

As for the fact that Zhou Jiantao and Zhou Shetao worked together, changing a wave of investigators might not necessarily pursue it.

Going out to work together is not a fresh thing. Many people go out independently and then go together in other places. Not to mention the Big and Small Zhou brothers, helping each other to settle down in a strange city, this thing itself does not have sin.

In the final analysis, it depends on the degree of dedication of the investigators. If you encounter something like the Huger case, the eyewitnesses were made into killers. Now that there is a genuine killer, whether to investigate further, different special task forces may have different choices.

Liu Wenkai is obviously the kind who is willing to investigate further.

He has seen the photos of the bodies of the mother and daughter at the scene. From his point of view, the brothers Zhou Jiantao and Zhou Shetao have lived for a long time, and it is time to go down and apologize.

Zhou Jiantao obviously also thought of the danger he was facing.

His lips began to become dry, and he said hard-mouthed: "You are forcing a confession."

Liu Wenkai had already broken through one, and looking at Zhou Jiantao's armor, he looked at it like a paper shell, and said: "Don't pull these calves. I'll tell you straight, your parents know that it was your brothers who killed people. Not only did they know and not report it, but they also gave you money, booked tickets, booked rooms, and provided escape routes. These are all aggravating circumstances for the crime of harboring and covering up."

Liu Wenkai looked at Zhou Jiantao and said: "According to the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 310 of the Criminal Law, the crime of harboring and covering up is fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control. If the circumstances are serious, it is more than three years and less than ten years. If you don't confess, I will lean your parents towards 10 years. If you don't go to jail, let the old couple sit for you."

"You are shameless!" Zhou Jiantao's eyes widened, staring at Liu Wenkai with cannibalistic eyes.

Liu Wenkai chuckled: "I am shameless? You brothers killed other people's mother and daughter, are you heroes? Your parents still live in the old place, right? Your parents are good neighbors with Mai Zuqing and his son, because they like to see the victim's family suffer? I think they are exploring news for you."

Liu Wenkai spat a mouthful of phlegm and said: "I'll just say it like this, your parents are definitely harboring and covering up, there is no problem at all. It is an aggravating circumstance. I guess you have also read law books. I'll help you sort it out. What are the serious circumstances? The object of harboring and covering up is a criminal who has caused serious harm. You committed robbery and murder, you hit it. There are many people harboring and covering up criminals. You are two people, hit half, the judge will definitely consider it."

Liu Wenkai counted his fingers and continued to recite the legal provisions he had memorized before entering the door: "The third situation is that the time for harboring and covering up criminals is long, causing criminals to be at large for a long time. You have been running for 10 years. Hit it, right? The fourth, harboring and covering up criminals many times, your parents have helped you more than once, hit it, right!"

Liu Wenkai has used this trick too many times, so that looking at Zhou Jiantao's gradually desperate eyes, there is no sense of achievement, and said: "If you want to resist to the end and are unwilling to cooperate, then we will strictly implement the law. Send your parents in."

"You are talking nonsense." Zhou Jiantao said with difficulty: "I have asked people, even if parents have done something, it is also 'relatives hiding relatives', and they can be exempted from punishment."

"Hmm, know how to talk about the case, good phenomenon." Liu Wenkai smiled and said: "I won't say what kind of person will ask this kind of thing first. Let's talk about 'relatives hiding relatives', I think you are right."

Zhou Jiantao was stunned.

Before he could react, Liu Wenkai looked at Zhou Jiantao and said: "I agree with your idea, but I also tell you, harboring and protecting close relatives, reducing or exempting punishment, it itself has discretion. If you honestly confess and cooperate with us, I can apply to the court to consider your parents harboring and protecting your brothers, and apply the principle of 'relatives hiding relatives'. But if you don't cooperate with me..."

Liu Wenkai didn't finish his words, just smiled. What he said was not entirely true, but the police lying during the interrogation process is simply more frequent than lying when falling in love, which is the amount of lying when getting a divorce can be compared with it.

Zhou Jiantao is not a legal professional after all, and now he cannot get legal guidance. The emotions of the whole person were finally pushed to the edge of collapse.

Sometimes, having no hope does not make people completely desperate. Zhou Jiantao had already planned to resist to the end. No matter whether his brother confessed or not, he was not prepared to open his mouth. At worst, it was just death. Zhou Jiantao did not expect to hide outside for a lifetime.

But he didn't expect that the police were so despicable to involve his parents.

If he insists on resisting, his parents will be unlucky, but if he chooses to cooperate? He and his brother will definitely be finished, and his parents may not be able to get any good...

"You... how to guarantee?" After a long time, Zhou Jiantao opened his mouth and asked: "How can you guarantee that you can realize your promise."

"That depends on how much you can cooperate." Liu Wenkai chewed the fruits of victory with satisfaction.

In the interrogation just now, Little Zhou took all the responsibility on himself, but Zhou Jiantao didn't know.

Zhou Jiantao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "I have a recording, which was recorded during the discussion after the incident. It can prove that stealing the door lock of the Qin family was planned by my brother alone. I found the situation and went to help, and accidentally participated in this matter."

"Recording?" Liu Wenkai didn't expect to have such a harvest. The police officer next to him also raised his head imperceptibly.

From brotherly respect to brothers fighting, the progress bar is a bit caught off guard.

Fortunately, the criminal investigators are well-informed, and they put on disguises with a kick.

Zhou Jiantao couldn't care about other people's expressions, and simply said: "I hid the mobile phone with the recording, you can't find it. I want a sentence reduction, and I want a sentence reduction for my parents. Count it as my meritorious service."

"It can be considered, but it's not up to me." Liu Wenkai naturally wouldn't say that this doesn't meet the terms of meritorious service, etc. He didn't even mention Zhou Shetao's name. In the face of the death penalty, there is no need to make the suspect feel embarrassed. Sending them to death smoothly is the police's duty.

Zhou Jiantao walked back from the feeling of death as returning home, and suddenly began to cherish his life. He also knew that his life was hanging by a thread, so he asked: "Who is up to?"

"Someone will contact you later. Come, talk about the criminal process first, you'd better honestly confess, this is the basis for sentence reduction." Liu Wenkai hooked Zhou Jiantao.

Zhou Jiantao hesitated.

"If you don't say it, we will take what your brother said as the standard, and you have to add a non-cooperation here." Liu Wenkai has found the analysis, naturally straightening his waist and prying hard.

Zhou Jiantao couldn't hold back, guessed that his brother had already confessed him, took a deep breath, and said: "Okay. Everything was found by the second child, he... hey, he cut a key, opened the door of Mai Qin-sui's house, and then actually went in. I don't know what he was thinking..."

Zhou Jiantao recalled the scene of the day, sighed helplessly, and said: "I was also there at the time, heard someone shouting in the room, ran over quickly, thinking of calling my brother out, and apologizing to people, but I didn't expect him to hold Mai Qin-sui and not let go. Afraid of people shouting, he used his elbow to strangle people's necks."

Liu Wenkai interrupted and asked: "Does he know Mai Qin-sui?"

"In the same school, our area was divided into No. 35 Middle School, my brother might... have a secret crush on her."

Liu Wenkai thought to himself, you call this a secret crush? It's almost an assassination.

He naturally wouldn't stand up and struggle with Zhou Jiantao on this issue, just listened and nodded: "Continue the scene."

Zhou Jiantao: "I went in, just said two words, Mai Qin-sui's mother ran out again, let my brother let go of her daughter, otherwise call the police or something."

Liu Wenkai: "And then?"

"Then my brother let go." Zhou Jiantao said here, sighed heavily: "Do you know what happened as a result?"

His rhetorical question is because this topic has lingered in his mind for 10 years. Over the years, he has recalled this moment all the time.

Liu Wenkai felt that he had broken the whole case, naturally he had to avoid the suspicion of inducing confession, and said directly: "Just say it."

"That second-hand goods was too nervous and strangled the girl to death." Zhou Jiantao was full of disbelief, and then gritted his teeth: "Just for a while, it didn't take long, people died like that, I don't know if it was hypoxia or scared to death, in short, people are gone, his mother collapsed to the ground all of a sudden."

"Then?"

"Then we were afraid that she would cry loudly and lead others in, so we dragged people into the bedroom to deal with it."

"What does dealing with it mean?"

"Just strangled to death."

"Who strangled it?"

Zhou Jiantao hesitated for a moment: "My brother strangled it."

Liu Wenkai didn't believe it at all, but didn't care. There are plenty of opportunities to engage in this question later. He just smiled and asked: "Next? What did you do?"

"We ran." Zhou Jiantao said.

Liu Wenkai hesitated for a while and didn't continue to pursue the issue of corpse rape. Obviously, people have the right to refuse corpse rape, even criminals are no exception.

On the other hand, it is also to avoid the suspicion of inducing confession. Liu Wenkai's mood is very relaxed. After the interrogation step by step, he called Huang Qiangmin: "Political Commissar, guess what?"
