Chapter 172

In the police station,

facing the interrogation, Gao Qisheng was calm.

But in another room, a piece of evidence had been slapped right in front of Tang Xiaolong!

It was the DNA test result that had been rushed out!

The result showed...

Tang Xiaolong was indeed one of the two people who attacked An Xin that day!

And looking at this evidence!

Not only did Tang Xiaolong’s face change,

all the viewers’ hearts tightened!

Tang Xiaolong was just... caught?!

Unlike most police-bandit films, the Jinghai City police’s case-handling speed was frighteningly fast!

They caught Tang Xiaolong and Gao Qiqiang and the others so easily!

There was no room for maneuver!

Tang Xiaolong had already been convicted! He couldn't argue!

And the criminal police captain also sternly said to Tang Xiaolong,

"Do you know what this is?! Your criminal evidence!"

"Speak!"

"Who did you attack Officer An Xin with that night?!"

"If you speak now, I’ll count it as a voluntary confession!"

And looking at the ironclad evidence placed in front of him...

Tang Xiaolong looked dazed, seemingly a bit scared.

But under the struggle, he finally spoke,

"I confess..."

"I... indeed had an accomplice..."

In an instant!

Countless viewers’ hearts shook!

Was Tang Xiaolong... going to expose Gao Qiqiang?!

If he confessed now, it could be counted as a voluntary confession, and there would definitely be a huge difference in sentencing!

[This... Tang Xiaolong is going to spill it...]

[The ironclad evidence is already in front of him! What else can he do..]

[There’s no way to argue! The DNA results match! And An Xin also saw two people attacking him that day!]

[Is Gao Qiqiang going to be caught too?!]

[Sigh... how did it fall short at the last moment!!]

[The speed at which the police found Gao Qiqiang and the others is too fast!]

[Mainly because they are too thin on the ground! They have no manpower to do these things, they have to do everything themselves! Naturally, there are more flaws!]

[Now two out of three will have to go in... Gao Qisheng can escape a disaster!]

[An Xin probably went to catch Gao Qiqiang... just wanted to question him in the noodle shop.]

Exploding with updates today! Fifth update!!

Following Tang Xiaolong’s voluntary confession,

the scene also moved to the noodle shop.

Gao Qiqiang clearly didn't know the situation in the interrogation room.

But An Xin already had a premonition.

After all, before implementing the arrest today, he had already made preparations.

Or rather.

In An Xin’s heart, he had already concluded that the Gao brothers and the Tang brothers were the suspects in this case!

Looking around,

An Xin’s colleagues outside the noodle shop had already arrived, ready to arrest Gao Qiqiang at any time.

And at this moment,

as the second bowl of noodles was served,

Gao Qiqiang was still rambling,

"Do you know why I love pork trotter noodles so much?"

"When I was a kid, when my parents left, the three of us were quite young. We relied on the pension given by the factory, splitting one cent into two to spend."

"One part for my younger brother, one part for my younger sister, I didn't have any."

"They both liked pork trotter noodles, so I bought one bowl of pork trotter noodles."

"My younger brother, A-Sheng, ate the noodles. My younger sister, Xiaolan, ate the pork trotter."

"As for me, I drank the pork trotter soup."

"For many years, I wouldn't eat pork trotter noodles again."

Gao Qiqiang shook his head, sighing while recalling.

And just at this moment,

two of An Xin’s colleagues walked in, interrupting Gao Qiqiang’s rambling.

An Xin stood up to meet them.

At the same time, he leaned in and said,

"Tang Xiaolong has already confessed, he is indeed the person who attacked you."

"And he also confessed to an accomplice, named..."

Just as his colleague was about to say it,

An Xin hurriedly grabbed his colleague’s shoulder, interrupting the other party’s words.

The expression on his face was somewhat unbearable.

Clearly, An Xin didn't want his colleague to reveal Gao Qiqiang’s identity as a suspect at this moment!

He still wanted to give Gao Qiqiang one more chance!

After all, a voluntary confession and being confessed by a companion were two completely different conditions for sentencing!

In his heart, he still regarded Gao Qiqiang as a friend!

Even in An Xin’s view, Gao Qiqiang wasn't a bad person!

"Give me some time, please wait for me outside."

An Xin fought for some time from his colleagues.

Then he sat back down and said to Gao Qiqiang,

"What were you saying just now?"

"I said, the conditions have been better in the last two years, and I’ve started to like pork trotter noodles again."

"I used to be afraid when I saw this soup."

"I don't know why, but now I quite like drinking the soup."

"Hey, can I ask the boss for another bowl of noodle soup?"

But An Xin immediately rejected Gao Qiqiang’s request.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because you don't have time."

An Xin took a deep breath, his expression carrying a hint of unbearable weight.

Then An Xin took off his watch, placed it on the table, and said to Gao Qiqiang seriously and sternly,

"Old Gao, I believe you are a good person, honest and upright."

"But good people sometimes do wrong things."

"Maybe it’s not subjective intent, but you should know when you’ve done it, right?"

"If you tell me now, I can still help you."

"This is the last one, and your only chance, so we won't drink soup either, I can only give you one last minute."

Saying this,

An Xin set a timer on the watch.

His words were very clear.

Even though Tang Xiaolong had already confessed and the police coming to arrest Gao Qiqiang were in place,

but at this last moment, as long as Gao Qiqiang spoke,

he could help Gao Qiqiang define it as a voluntary confession! This was all the help An Xin could give Gao Qiqiang within his power!

Or rather,

An Xin, in order to help Gao Qiqiang, had already violated the rules he usually followed most!

For a moment,

the viewers in front of the screen couldn't help but be moved.

But they were also worried for Gao Qiqiang.

Tang Xiaolong... it seems he really confessed...

The police arresting Gao Qiqiang are already in place...

This time Gao Qiqiang is really going to be caught...

[Sigh... he’s caught just like that...]

[But didn't Gao Qiqiang succeed in the end?!]

[That’s something from more than twenty years later! Gao Qiqiang must have been released from prison!]

[Oh right... could it be that Gao Qiqiang built his own power in prison?!]

[It’s possible!!]

[With Brother Qiang’s current charisma and wisdom, wouldn't he easily conquer a large group of fellow inmates!]

[But then again.. An Xin is really a good guy!]

[Right! Even at this point, he’s still thinking about helping Gao Qiqiang!]

[Gao Qiqiang also desperately stopped Tang Xiaolong from hurting An Xin that day! Otherwise, Tang Xiaolong wouldn't have been exposed so quickly.]

[And Gao Qiqiang really listened to An Xin’s advice! He has already read The Art of War thoroughly!]

[If it weren't for this matter... they could really have been great friends!!]

Countless viewers sighed, regretting the friendship between Gao Qiqiang and An Xin.

But unfortunately,

it was also various coincidences and reality that forced Gao Qiqiang to the dark side opposite An Xin!

But it was also in this dark side

that Gao Qiqiang found the true feeling of being like a fish in water!

In the noodle shop,

under An Xin’s one-minute countdown,

Gao Qiqiang was silent, looking up at the Guan Gong statue hanging high in the shop.

Then he lowered his head and mixed the noodles.

"Thank you, one minute is enough for me to eat this bowl of noodles."
