The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 57: Psychological Torture


After arranging Shi Jiaxin's training plan, Xiao Feng turned and walked out of the office.

He never fights an unprepared battle, and since he decided to target Shen Tianze, it was necessary to plan carefully. To plan before action is the right principle.

Xiao Feng's idea was to break through from Fang Ji Qiang.

In the interrogation room, Fang Ji Qiang sat with handcuffs, eyes closed, appearing determined not to speak.

Outside the door, Zhao Xingfeng said, "You've seen it, this guy is like this, he doesn't say anything no matter what we ask, and we can't use harsh interrogation methods."

Xiao Feng stroked his chin, thoughtfully said, "Gather the best conversationalists, or rather the most talkative ones in the department and call them over."

Zhao Xingfeng frowned but soon understood Xiao Feng's meaning; physically, they couldn't use torture, but mentally, there's no reason why they couldn't apply pressure.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xingfeng gave Xiao Feng a thumbs up and promptly arranged for personnel.

Technically, Xiao Feng, as a special consultant, doesn't have the authority to interrogate suspects, but in the eyes of others, there's no difference between Xiao Feng's words and Song Keren's words.

Although Song Keren had denied vehemently before, after the incident of beating Duan Li's father and son, no matter how much she denied, it was of no use.

Not long after, three men and one woman walked over with Zhao Xingfeng, and upon seeing Xiao Feng, they all greeted him, "Consultant Xiao."

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded, "All of you are the department's eloquent speakers, now is the time to test your skills. No matter what method you use, get the person inside to start talking."

The four exchanged a glance, each visibly invigorated.

They were often criticized for chatting too much at work, but hearing Xiao Feng say this, it seemed being talkative was now a plus?

After a bit of deliberation among the four, they decided that ladies should go first, sending the only female in the team, named Wang Yanmin, in as the opener.

Wang Yanmin walked into the interrogation room, sat down, and said, "I know you don't want to clarify the situation, but that's okay, we have plenty of time, we're just here to chat with you today. When I was a kid..."

Facing her, Fang Ji Qiang was caught somewhat off guard.

Generally, police interrogating suspects are asking them to clarify their situation, he was used to being asked about his situation.

But this time it was evidently different; the other side started by talking about themselves, without any intention to inquire his situation.

"Do you know who I liked most in my class back then?" Wang Yanmin enthusiastically asked, "You don't know, right?"

Fang Ji Qiang was dumbfounded, how the heck would I know, I'm not your classmate.

Just when Fang Ji Qiang thought staying quiet was okay, he heard Wang Yanmin say, "It's okay if you don't know, I'll tell you. His name was Wang Xiaohu, we nicknamed him Diamond Wang Xiaowu, but he wasn't very wealthy..."

Fang Ji Qiang was about to lose his mind, "Officer, I'm not interested in what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you're not interested, if we keep chatting you'll find it interesting," Wang Yanmin persistently said, "Where was I earlier? Never mind, can't remember, I'll start over. When I was a kid..."

"..." Fang Ji Qiang was nearly in tears, is this a police station or a mental hospital?

After half an hour, Fang Ji Qiang felt like he wanted to die, and Wang Yanmin was also feeling a bit parched.

"Send some tea inside," Xiao Feng said, dissatisfied with Fang Ji Qiang's mental resilience.

Originally thinking a relay of people would be required, it turned out unnecessary, Wang Yanmin on the opening alone took care of it.

In the interrogation room, after drinking water, Wang Yanmin was instantly revived, thought for a moment and said, "Sorry, I forgot where we stopped. Do you remember?"

Fang Ji Qiang shook his head with a face full of life fatigue.

"Good not remembering, I'll start over..." Wang Yanmin seemed delighted to say, appearing to hope Fang Ji Qiang hadn't remembered.

Hearing Wang Yanmin was about to go again, Fang Ji Qiang hurriedly panicked, "Officer, have mercy on me!"

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Yanmin looked puzzled, "No one is going to do anything to you."

Fang Ji Qiang finally couldn't bear it, "Officer, I concede! I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Xiao Feng and Zhao Xingfeng exchanged a smile, then together entered the interrogation room.

"Is it you?!" Fang Ji Qiang's flames of rage flared up upon seeing Xiao Feng.

"Yes, it's me." Xiao Feng nodded, smiling, "Ready to speak the truth now?"

Fang Ji Qiang snorted, "You're not a policeman, why should I answer your questions?"

He didn't know that Xiao's role as a consultant at the police station, so upon seeing him there, decided again to stay silent.

Nonetheless, Xiao Feng turned to Zhao Xingfeng, "Tell him who I am."

Zhao Xingfeng introduced, "This is our special consultant, exclusively assisting us in investigating major cases."

"Special consultant? Ha!" Fang Ji Qiang scoffed, "How come I don't know?"

"There's a lot you don't know," Xiao Feng said blandly, "Not willing to talk, huh? No problem, perhaps our chat wasn't thorough enough, I'll call that lady officer back, you can continue the conversation with her."

As he spoke, he started to leave.

"Wait!" Fang Ji Qiang hurriedly stopped, gritting his teeth he asked, "What do you want to know?"

Xiao Feng said, "I am now almost certain, you were sent by Shen Tianze. I'm not interested in who you are, what I want to know is, in the venues under Shen Tianze, which ones are involved in illegal activities?"

Actually, Xiao Feng started with a conclusion to exert psychological pressure on Fang Ji Qiang, giving him an impression that he knew everything, assuring greater reliability of the information provided.

"What good do I get from telling you?" Fang Ji Qiang hesitated for a moment and said.

Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow, "Do you think you're in a position to negotiate? If you must know a benefit, then you won't have to continue chatting with others."

At this moment, Fang Ji Qiang suddenly realized why his young master would gather more forces to target the man before him.

Because this person, who plays completely off-script, no matter how flawlessly you prepared, he can disrupt your rhythm with a single strike.

Which kind of opponent is toughest?

An opponent without any pattern or routine is the hardest to deal with, because you can't anticipate what their next move will be.

After a while, Fang Ji Qiang exhaled deeply, "Okay, I'll talk, the club next to Construction Street..."

Zhao Xingfeng immediately grabbed a pen and started recording, growing increasingly wide-eyed with each note; not a single entertainment venue under the Shen Group in Jiangcheng was operated strictly by the book.

"That's too exaggerated, isn't it?" Zhao Xingfeng couldn't help but say.

"Nothing exaggerated about it, without such practices, would you think Shen Group could expand to such scale now?" Xiao Feng answered calmly.
