"Oh? According to you, you only wanted to teach this blogger a lesson, but Hong Kangquan acted on his own and killed him? "
Everything Huo Shaoheng asked was information he had gotten from Gu Nianzhi.
To be precise, if Gu Nianzhi hadn't discovered the relationship between the blogger and Cai Songyin, they probably wouldn't have known how close Hong Kangquan and Cai Songyin were until now.
To the extent that they were willing to kill for each other, this relationship …
Cai Songyin was speechless.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes flashed. "Hong Kangquan is really loyal to you and your wife. He helped you kill people and helped Tan Dongbang cheat in the election. Why? What did you use to bribe Hong Kangquan? A high position and a generous salary? Or beautiful women and money? "
Cai Songyin's lips twitched in disdain. "Major General Huo, your words are too vulgar. Couldn't Tan Dongbang and I have conquered Hong Kangquan with our charisma, and he automatically worked for us? We never do things like bribing people. "
Of course she had done it, but in her opinion, it wasn't called "bribing" but an exchange of benefits.
Wasn't an election a large-scale exchange of benefits permitted by law?
And they hadn't even had the time to give Hong Kangquan any benefits …
So Cai Songyin had a clear conscience.
Why should she admit to something she hadn't done?
"You think I'll believe that?" Huo Shaoheng couldn't help but laugh mockingly. "If you and Tan Dongbang have the charisma to convince Hong Kangquan, then the entire nation will be 'convinced' by you. You won't need to cheat in the election anymore. You'll definitely be elected fair and square."
Cai Songyin was so angry at Huo Shaoheng that she couldn't speak.
"You're not going to say anything? Fine, I'll ask Tan Dongbang. Tan Dongbang is someone who has done great things, so he knows that great things don't bother with trifles. When he says it, you'll know that your last chance for a reduced sentence is gone. "Huo Shaoheng stood up." Think about it carefully. I'll go interrogate Tan Dongbang. "
Cai Songyin's eyes narrowed when she heard the name "Tan Dongbang." A trace of disdain, disgust, and darkness flashed through her eyes.
…
Tan Dongbang's interrogation room was opposite Cai Songyin's.
When Huo Shaoheng entered, Tan Dongbang was already sitting there.
Tan Dongbang sat up uneasily when he saw Huo Shaoheng walk in in his military uniform. "Major General Huo, I really didn't bribe or cheat in the election. If there's a problem with your system, you can't possibly blame it on me, right? "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Tan Dongbang.
He had only been locked up for a few days, but the usually elegant Tan Dongbang was like a salted vegetable in the winter — shriveled and rancid.
His hair was greasy, and strands of it were tied in a knot, hanging on his shiny forehead.
He probably hadn't been eating or sleeping well for the past few days. He had big dark circles under his eyes, and the flesh on his face was gone, leaving only his high cheekbones. He looked a bit like those mean women in the market.
Huo Shaoheng sat across from him and quickly cut to the chase.
"Tan Dongbang, why would Hong Kangquan help you cheat in the election? What did you offer him? "
Tan Dongbang froze. His eyes darted around, not daring to meet Huo Shaoheng's eyes as he muttered, "… I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't know anything from the beginning to the end. "
"You're saying that Hong Kangquan didn't ask for anything and helped you cheat in the election twice just to get you the position of Prime Minister?" Huo Shaoheng frowned. "Could it be that he has a crush on you?"
Pfft!
Tan Dongbang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Major General Huo, you can't just say things like that! I have nothing to do with Hong Kangquan! This is the first time I admit that he has something to do with my wife … No, they do. His wife and my wife are best friends, so he probably helped us out of respect for his wife. "
There was a slight possibility of this saying being true, but it wasn't more than a thousandth of a percent.
Huo Shaoheng had never seen someone who didn't seek personal gain for personal gain.
Being moved by personal charisma only applied to upright people, not shady people like Hong Kangquan.
Besides, what about Tan Dongbang and Cai Songyin's personal charisma?
That would be too difficult …
They had also investigated Cai Songyin and Tan Dongbang and found that the two of them had no financial ties to Hong Kangquan.
Not only did the two families not send each other money or gifts, but the two families even treated each other to meals in public places and didn't eat at their own homes.
From this perspective, the relationship between the two families couldn't be considered particularly good.
Because true "family ties" meant that the adults and children of the two families didn't have to worry about avoiding each other at all.
In other words, Hong Kangquan really hadn't received any benefits.
But that didn't make sense.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it and thought that there could only be one explanation for this, and that was that Hong Kangquan was probably after something that Tan Dongbang could do for him after he took office …
Tan Dongbang became Prime Minister, the head of state in name, and also one of the three most powerful people in the country.
With this kind of status, Hong Kangquan could ask for many more benefits.
Huo Shaoheng looked up at Tan Dongbang with a smile. "From what I see, Hong Kangquan helped you cheat in the election and killed someone for your wife. This has already exceeded the scope of 'helping your wife's best friend and her best friend's husband.'"
Tan Dongbang frowned and thought about it for a moment before he finally understood what Huo Shaoheng was saying. He immediately felt like grass had grown on his head …
"Major General Huo, what do you mean?! Hong Kangquan might have helped me a little, but what does that have to do with my wife? Kill someone for her? Are you mistaking me for someone else? "
Although Tan Dongbang was happy to cheat, he absolutely couldn't accept his wife cheating on him.
Huo Shaoheng took out the photo of the Weibo blogger "Churchill's Garden" Lu Dayong's death and pushed it in front of Tan Dongbang. "Look at this yourself. This person offended your wife. Hong Kangquan personally killed him. "
Tan Dongbang glared at the photo and was so angry that his hands were shaking. He stammered, "Wh-Wh-Who … is this person? Why did he offend my wife? Why did Hong Kangquan kill someone?! "
Huo Shaoheng looked at Tan Dongbang's expression and actions coldly. He actually couldn't find any flaws.
He felt that Tan Dongbang wasn't faking it. He probably didn't know about the deal between Cai Songyin and Hong Kangquan.
Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "This person used your daughter to threaten your wife. Your wife was furious …"
He was only half telling the truth.
Cai Songyin was indeed angry because her daughter had been kidnapped in New York. After reading the text, she thought that the Weibo blogger had turned around to threaten her, so she asked Hong Kangquan for help, hoping that he could use his Secret Service personnel to help her vent her anger.
Tan Dongbang inhaled sharply. He was furious. "It was because of Little Darling?! Then he deserved to die! "
Tan Dongbang didn't have much affection for Cai Songyin anymore, but he still doted on his daughter, Tan Guiren.
"If he threatened you, you could have sued him. Why did you have to take his life?" Huo Shaoheng said calmly. "Now you and your wife have another crime on your hands."
"I didn't want him to die. I didn't know anything about what you're talking about." Tan Dongbang wasn't lying this time.
He really didn't know about returning to his alma mater to receive a medal.
"Fine. Even if you didn't know about this, Hong Kangquan still tried to help you cheat in the interim election this time. Tell me, why did he try to do it this time?"
Tan Dongbang said angrily, "When did he try to help me cheat? He didn't help me at all this time! "
"But there are still traces of election cheating in the surveillance system. It's almost exactly the same situation as last time." Huo Shaoheng stared intently at Tan Dongbang. He tried his best to remain calm and not reveal any emotions that might be interpreted too much.
He continued to ask, "Wasn't the person who helped you this time Hong Kangquan? Was it someone else? "
This was the reason why Huo Shaoheng had gone one big circle and asked all three of them separately.
He had always felt that these three people weren't the masterminds. They were only the agents of the masterminds behind the scenes.
