Chapter 965

The wind rises.

The dark clouds in the sky moved rapidly, like a fast-forward scene in a movie, signaling that the bad weather was about to leave and the once clear sky was about to reappear over the vast expanse.

The vehicles on the street also unconsciously accelerated, as if echoing the sky.

Only when the gaze lowered to look at the grassroots level could one see the furrowed brows, annoyed expressions, helpless sighs, and the backs of people running wildly against the wind, unable to run far even if their skirts were lifted, on the faces of pedestrians who were moving slowly.

A prisoner transport vehicle modified from a Ford Transit stopped steadily in front of the police station.

"Get off the car slowly, don't make any noise, don't cause trouble for me, don't add to your own sentences!" The police officer in the passenger seat jumped out of the car, his tone not sounding very pleasant.

Several criminal suspects in handcuffs were brought off the car. The man in the lead had graying hair and beard, well-developed muscles, and walked forward two steps with a calm expression. Standing straight, he looked up at the red banner on the building in front:

"Solidly promote the summer public security crackdown and rectification action!"

The man's eyelids twitched: "So early this year."

"Don't talk, line up and follow me." The escorting criminal police officer ignored him.

The man with the gray beard smiled and followed obediently.

Walking all the way to the detention location and entering the iron gate, the man with the gray beard finally started the topic again: "I passed by here before, and that red banner wasn't there. Was it newly hung up?"

"Yes." The criminal police officer sent the person into the interrogation center, relaxed, rubbed his fingers in the ink pad, and replied casually: "Old Pu, just settle down once you're here, don't cause trouble."

"Is Jiang Yuan planning to settle down here?" Old Pu with the gray beard sighed: "Haven't all the people been caught?"

"Is Jiang Yuan's name for you to call?" The police officer next to him scolded.

The little brother who was caught together shouted: "Isn't a name meant for people to call?"

"Xiaotian!" Old Pu with the gray beard stopped his little brother and said: "It is only right to call him Jiang Shen."

"Your little brother is called Xiaotian? Xiaotian dog? That's a dog's name." The police officer preparing for the interrogation had already begun to enter his role, starting to mock them.

Old Pu stopped his little brother with his eyes again, smiled gently, and said: "It is indeed a dog's name, but it's not the Xiaotian dog. It's because he is often cheated by bitches and acts as a 'lick-dog' for others, so he is called Xiaotian."

Xiaotian, with bulging chest muscles, had an expressionless face, enduring the humiliation.

The criminal police officer, who was already prepared to play the bad cop, couldn't help but lose his composure: "You mix in the underworld with this kind of name, don't others laugh at you?"

Xiaotian looked at the other person calmly: "The underworld road is long, I have a clear conscience toward women and brothers, who dares to laugh at me."

Old Pu nodded: "Xiaotian is indeed a good man, and also a good brother of mine, Old Pu, it's just that he isn't good to himself."

How could the criminal police officer let them pour out their hearts here? He interrupted directly and said: "Exactly, tell me about your brothers, I'll help you bring them over, and you can meet again in prison."

"Basically, they've all come in, right." Old Pu's smile was very calm: "I have nothing left to say."

The criminal police officer sneered: "Coming in and coming in are different."

Old Pu said calmly: "Once you've gone in enough times, it's all the same."

"Is that so? Then shall I ask Team Leader Jiang to flip through your case files? And find the cold cases from the years you started out to sort them out?" The criminal police officer in charge of the interrogation had originally planned to add pressure after entering the interrogation room, but sometimes, interrogation is not the goal; getting results is. Here and now, this is a good opportunity.

Old Pu, who was showing off in front of his subordinates, underworld figures, and police officers, suddenly and inexplicably lost his composure.

Old Pu knows, and he knows that the police know, that Old Pu wasn't clean when he started out more than twenty years ago. How could someone in the underworld make a name for themselves while being full of righteousness?

However, that was twenty years ago. As early as 10 years ago, Old Pu began to gradually go ashore. Now, not only does he do legitimate business himself, but his little brothers also do legitimate business; at most, they like to do trades with greater controversy, such as car rentals, selling dismantled car parts, seafood markets, being second-hand landlords, etc.

They are still quite dark in their dealings, but it is a darkness of another dimension.

Now, even when Old Pu recalls the past, he feels that his former bravery and ruthlessness were like a dream. By comparison, his arrest this time is nothing more than a small matter of being reported for participating in mass fighting, receiving stolen goods, contract fraud, etc., which cannot be compared with his experiences 20 years ago.

Therefore, Old Pu was very calm when he got off the car, but not so now.

The old cases... some are really not easy to dig up again!

"Zhang Tang Weili, didn't we already send him to you? You're still holding on to it, isn't that going a bit too far." The calmness on Old Pu's face disappeared, and he looked a bit angry. After all, he really had committed crimes.

The criminal police officer in charge of the interrogation asked: "Did you send him?"

"Your question is also not very high-level. Who would admit that they sent him?"

The criminal police officer sneered: "You're even bargaining now. Do you think Jiang Shen came here to negotiate with you?"

"Then what do you want before you're willing to stop." Old Pu was as calm as possible.

"You want to negotiate with the police?" The criminal police officer laughed: "Who can you represent? Who do you want to represent?"

Old Pu was speechless. Cracking down on gangs and eliminating evil is no joke. If he talks nonsense now, he might be completely finished.

"Come on." The police officer in charge of the interrogation smiled and led Old Pu into the interrogation room.

After going through the procedures, the interrogation police officer drank some water slowly and said: "Old Pu, do you know why you were brought here this time?"

Old Pu was well-prepared: "There was a fight at the seafood market, and you think I caused it. To be honest, I'm 50 years old, can I still fight? I've also been advising them to value harmony... As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Those people ate seafood, felt it was expensive, suspected we used dead fish, suspected you should have said it in advance, and after eating until only fish bones were left, they told us the fish wasn't right, the fish wasn't right, you finished eating..."

The interrogation police officer shook his head: "18 years ago, in the Tongli residential area, there was a shop owner who was running around the residential area in the evening and was stabbed to death with a sharp knife. Do you have any impression of this?"

Hearing the words "Tongli residential area," Old Pu's heart shook violently, but he could only pretend to be indifferent and said: "What's this, are you starting to play the game of framing people now?"

"Team Leader Jiang confirmed through comparing the knife marks on the deceased that the knife marks on the deceased in this case are exactly the same as the knife marks left in another case." The interrogation police officer smiled faintly and said: "In fact, through this clue, we have already confirmed at least 4 cases related to you."

The knife marks he mentioned were matched by Jiang Yuan based on LV6 tool mark inspection. However, unlike fingerprints or DNA, tool marks are very difficult to compare systematically and automatically, so they are almost all manual, requiring Jiang Yuan to first memorize some tool marks and then look at the tool marks involved in other cases.

Therefore, this is a very niche way of trace inspection, but Old Pu understood it.

Most importantly, he really did kill a shop owner in the Tongli residential area.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Old Pu denied it immediately.

The interrogation police officer chuckled: "Your boss back then, by subletting the shops in the Tongli residential area, made a huge fortune... Don't rush to quibble, I've already got you, what I want is not you. I want your boss!"
