Liu Hongjiang would have thought that the child was not listening to him nor taking his words seriously if he did not throw a glance at him from time to time.

The truth was, he heard everything but chose not to give any reply.

It was complete silence. Liu Hongjiang took a deep breath before he walked to the second interrogation room. He refused to believe that out of so many people, none of them would get out of control and speak up.

The interrogation room that Liu Hongjiang entered this time was occupied by Suit Man S.

According to Liu Hongjiang’s years of observing people’s behavior, it would be easier to get something out of a person wearing bright clothing.

As expected, S began to speak the moment Liu Hongjiang entered the door.

However, he uttered, “I’m requesting to contact my lawyer.”

There were not many who could afford private lawyers and even fewer understood the meaning of the roles of private lawyers in Mainland China.

With a lawyer present, anything could be settled by a lawyer and the interrogated had the right to remain silent as long as no conclusive evidence had been found linking the interrogated to the incident.

Liu Hongjiang thought that this person was the most troublesome kind to have so he took the initiative. “We will get you a lawyer but you must first tell me why you were on the train.”

“Taking the train, of course,” S answered with a spurious smile.

At first, Liu Hongjiang thought that this loose-tongued man could be an aid to his plan.

It took him 15 minutes before he realized that the man was tricking him with his answers, none of them were helpful to him at all.

Liu Hongjiang even suspected that this man had been trained for interrogation. All those answers which were perceived to be nonsense were actually well thought out

Taking the one he mentioned earlier as an example.

It seemed as though they were on the train for the sole purpose of taking the train.

Liu Hongjiang’s facial expression turned livid and he almost lost his temper. “Enough, stop talking!”

Suit Man S obeyed and shut his mouth as asked. Yet, he fixed his gaze at Liu Hongjiang with a hint of cynicism.

Liu Hongjiang was frustrated for getting nothing after interrogating two people.

Even if he had great influence, an alleged confession was still required to close a case.

Without a confession, he would have to resort to some means of extorting a confession at a later time. There were still many people outside and he had to make himself as less aggressive as possible.

After all, Liu Hongjiang was familiar with the process and he was very good at weighing the pros and cons.

He was planning to interrogate another person. He planned to go for violent methods on these people if he still could not obtain anything.

With that in mind, Liu Hongjiang opened the door of the interrogation room where Helian Wei Wei was at.

Both of them sat opposite to each other, face to face. He always thought that women tend to be hot-headed upon encountering this kind of situation and they would make careless mistakes once they had lost their calm. The same thing would apply even if they had a reason.

However, the woman opposite him seemed to be resting with her eyes half-closed. When he came in, she slowly traced a smile with a languid appearance as if she had been waiting for him.

“We were not the ones who drove the plane. It was said in the papers that the plane was sitting on the roof of the train because it ran out of fuel.”

To his surprise, he was gagged by an announcement.

Normally, the information released to the public was to minimize chaos, yet she used it to treat him like a fool.

Liu Hongjiang used to be the one who was looked up to after being in his position all these years. It was not easy for him to keep things to himself at this point with his hot-temper. He sneered, “Both you and I know why that plane landed on the roof of the train. Stop acting like you’re innocent anymore, do you think that you can tell lies when you are here?”

“Oh?” Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and smiled. “How about you explain to me why the plane landed on the roof of the train?”

Bang!

Liu Hongjiang slammed his hand on the wooden table. “I’m the one who’s interrogating you here, not you. Your partners have already confessed, it is useless for you to be stubborn. You better be honest and explain everything.”

“Well, now that they’ve said it, I’ll say it too,” Helian Wei Wei lowered her eyes, looking like she was ready to confess. In fact, she was only looking for a better angle to capture the other party’s expression.

Liu Hongjiang was secretly proud of himself. Haha, women would confess everything after being frightened.

“That plane really isn’t ours. We had some minor conflict with the Sixth Brother on the train.”

If the phrase ‘causing trouble’ used by Liu Hongjiang was clever, the phrase ‘minor conflict’ used by Helian Wei Wei was even more brilliant.

Since he wanted to reduce major issues to minor ones and minor issues to naught, she would adhere to his intention.

Indeed, Liu Hongjiang nodded with satisfaction.

However, to his surprise, Helian Wei Wei continued, “I suppose that you must be very familiar with Sixth Brother,” Helian Wei Wei’s statement was straightforward, “the Sixth Brother who’s involved with human trafficking.”

Liu Hongjiang’s expression changed and his smile was cold. “What are you talking about? Sixth Brother, who? I don’t understand a single thing. This is a slanderous accusation.”

“If you really don’t know him, why did you care more about where the plane came from instead of where the children on the train came from?” Every word of hers was straight to the point. “I don’t believe that no one told you that the whole railroad car was full of children under the age of five who were starving and mentally-crumbled. This is the core of the matter, not the plane. Of course, since you are only concerned about why the plane landed on the roof of the train, I will answer you one more time. We are not the ones who drove the plane. Instead, it was sent out by an anxious father who was searching for his abducted son. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Liu Hongjiang’s eyes sank upon hearing her words. He could see that this group of people would never give in.

“What a sharp-tongued lady! You did something nasty but you won’t admit it. You’re even trying to slander those who are trying to solve the case.”

Helian Wei Wei smiled again, “You mentioned that your concern is to solve the case. So, when will you declare the crime of Sixth Brother? Shouldn’t large-scale human trafficking be sentenced to death?”

Upon hearing that, Liu Hongjiang stood up instantly, placing his fingers on the table for support. He looked at Helian Wei Wei coldly, “The crime of trafficking will not be sentenced to death here. What’s more, your confession has a great induction of suspicion, there is no authenticity at all.”

“Is that so?” Helian Wei Wei let out a laugh suddenly and said meaningfully, “I hope that you’ll still be this certain in a moment…”
