Lu Yiwei had no idea when he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Last night, he had to make do with a hard stool. He squinted his eyes and looked out the window. Then, he moved his completely numb arms. His head felt like it was splitting.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at the surveillance camera in the interrogation room. Ma Linhui was the only one left in the room, sitting on the chair. Perhaps he was too tired, but his head was drooping, as though he was sleeping.
Lu Yiwei turned to look at the sofa, but Bai Yuxin was nowhere to be seen. When he walked out of the corridor, it was empty. There was not a single person in sight. Just when he was about to call Bai Yuxin, he saw Bai Yuxin walking out of the washroom with a roll of toilet paper in pain.
"Mayor Bai, are you alright?" Lu Yiwei asked out of concern.
Bai Yuxin frowned and waved her hand. "I'm fine. Maybe I'm suffering from constipation."
"You must not be resting well. Why don't you go back and rest? I'll keep an eye on this place." Lu Yiwei said.
Bai Yuxin didn't say anything. He walked into the lounge and sat on the sofa. "Ma Linhui is very cunning. After a night of interrogation, although he said a few words, he didn't hit the nail on the head. It's 6 am now, and it's been 10 hours since the golden 24 hours. We don't have much time left. If we can't get anything out of him, we will have to release him. I can't think straight. Do you have any other good ideas? "
Ma Linhui was indeed a gangster. He was unmoved by force or persuasion. Lu Yiwei pondered for a long time. "Why don't I give it a try?"
Bai Yuxin looked at Lu Yiwei strangely. It's not that she did not trust him, but she was surprised by his courage. Bai Yuxin held onto her stomach and pondered for a long time. "Alright, you can give it a try."
After accepting this difficult task, Lu Yiwei walked into the interrogation room with a heavy heart. Ma Linhui immediately woke up from his dream when he heard the clanging sound of the iron gate. When he saw that it was Lu Yiwei, he closed his eyes and turned his face to the side to continue sleeping.
Lu Yiwei took the key and unlocked Ma Linhui's handcuffs. He then opened the baffle in front of the chair and put the two chairs together. "If you're tired, you can sleep here for a while."
Ma Linhui got up and stretched his arms and legs. He sneered and said, "Last night, they couldn't find anything even after taking turns to interrogate him. Did they send you here? Save it. "
Lu Yiwei ignored him and took out a cigarette from his pocket for Ma Linhui. "I'm not a law enforcer, so I'm not qualified to interrogate you. I'm only here to chat with you."
"Humph! Chat? With just you? Do you think you are worthy? " Ma Linhui asked in disdain. "Lu Yiwei, we're both from Nanyang County, and we've never had any enmity in the past. Even when you're down, I didn't kick you when you're down. We should mind our own business, but I'm not happy that you want to interrogate me today. You should know that you won't have a good ending if you offend me. "
"It's precisely because you're different from others that I'm willing to sit down and chat with you. Are you willing?" Lu Yiwei wasn't angry.
"Forget it. What's the point of chatting here? I'm guessing that Bai Yuxin is listening in next door. Don't play any tricks with me. I'm telling you right now that you're illegally detaining me. When I get out, I'll make you pay the price! "Ma Linhui gnashed his teeth.
"Boss Ma, do you still remember Zhang Lefei?" Lu Yiwei suddenly asked.
"Zhang Lefei?" Ma Linhui asked curiously. "I've never cared about the dead. Does it matter if I remember or not?"
"To tell you the truth, Zhang Lefei left behind some precious information before he died, the most important of which was a tape. It recorded a lot of conversations, and one of them mentioned you." Lu Yiwei said.
Ma Linhui leaned forward and almost fell to the ground. He said in a panic, "Mention me? What did he say about me? "
"You should know very well what I've said about you. Do you need me to remind you? "Lu Yiwei's tone was calm and unhurried.
"This …" Ma Linhui began to hesitate. He looked much more nervous than last night.
About ten minutes later, Ma Linhui smoked one cigarette after another, as if reminiscing about the past. In the meantime, he kept glancing at the calm Lu Yiwei.
When it was about time, Lu Yiwei asked, "Boss Ma, are you ready?"
In that short period of time, Ma Linhui roughly recalled everything and felt that he didn't miss out on anything. He said, "No comment."
Lu Yiwei was a little impatient. "Fine. Since Boss Ma is so forgetful, I'll remind you. In 1993, Zhang Lefei raped a woman and found you. You promised to solve the problem. But the way you solved it was by killing the woman. You thought that it was flawless and that Zhang Lefei, who was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, would protect you. But don't forget that God is watching. You still left some traces. Because the woman you killed was the sister of one of the four vajras, Ma Gan. "
"Ma Gan still doesn't know whether his sister is dead or alive. But you do. In order to compensate Ma Gan, you sent him to your tent and became sworn brothers. Even if Ma Gan committed a crime, you still tolerated him. You are afraid that you will feel uneasy, right? "
Ma Linhui's face had turned the color of pig liver. Big beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. His hands were trembling as if he was about to go to the execution ground. He was desperately smoking.
Lu Yiwei continued, "Of course, you didn't kill for nothing. With the help of Zhang Lefei, you successfully took over the Erbao Coal Mine at a low price. "Then, with the introduction of Zhang Lefei, you met the deputy mayor and the current director of the Municipal People's Congress, Li Hugang. With the protection of the two, you have a smooth journey and become who you are now. "Last year, when we arrested Zhang Lefei, you secretly sent him to Jiangdong Airport. If we didn't find out in time, we might have succeeded. You should know all this, right? "
Ma Linhui looked up at Lu Yiwei with trepidation, then quickly avoided eye contact and buried his head.
Lu Yiwei continued, "I'll continue from what Magistrate Bai said last night. All these years, you used the name of Xinyuan Coal Mine Equipment Company to make short trades in the major coal mines in the city, earning at least ¥100 million. Of course, you took the small change. But as far as I know, most of the money was laundered through the underground money house and transferred to Canada's Li Hugang's daughter. Am I right? "
"Shut up!" Ma Linhui suddenly roared. He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it as if he was stepping on an ant.
Lu Yiwei continued to attack Ma Linhui's psychological line of defense. "Just like what Magistrate Bai said, you know so many of Li Hugang's secrets. If you're caught, will he dare to openly protect you? I don't think so. At that time, he will definitely wash his hands clean and say that you're the one who did it because you're just a tool for him to make money. "
"He dares!" Ma Linhui said agitatedly, "If he really does that, I'll expose everything he's done all these years. If I can't live, he can't live well either!"
Lu Yiwei said, "Actually, at this time, it's good enough that you can take care of yourself. Don't expect others to speak up for you. Not to mention, even your cousin, Ma Linhu, can betray you, not to mention others. Furthermore, as far as I know, the 'Four Great Vajra' brothers only exist in name. You should know how much money Qin Erbao has embezzled behind your back. In order not to rely on you, he found a new backer, and it's much stronger than yours. As for Ma Sandan and Ma Gang, they're both easily swayed, so I don't have high expectations. "
Ma Linhui was about to collapse. He hugged his head and squatted on the ground, crying. After a long time, he stood up and said, "Lu Yiwei, I only have one question for you. Where's the recording you mentioned?"
"It's in my hands." Lu Yiwei said, "But don't worry, no one else has heard this recording, and I don't intend to make it public. As long as you cooperate, this is our secret."
"Fine, I'll tell you everything. As long as it can save my life, I'll do anything." Ma Linhui suddenly changed his attitude and began to cooperate.
Ma Linhui's confession was out of control, and it took him more than three hours to finish. It was simply too numerous to count.
On the way back to the County party committee's courtyard, Bai Yuxin asked, "What you said to Ma Linhui just now, is it true?"
Lu Yiwei smiled slyly and said, "That's true, but not exactly. There's indeed a recording, but it doesn't contain these contents. Most of these contents were found in Zhang Lefei's interrogation record. Because it involves the County party committee's secretary, Liu Kecheng, it's kept as a top secret. If it wasn't for Liu Kecheng going out to study, this record might be an important weapon to deal with Liu Kecheng. "
Bai Yuxin sighed, "Some things in the officialdom are really unbelievable, but they still happened. If it wasn't for Zhang Lefei stumbling on Zhao Zhigang's issue, no one would know about these things until they die. Sigh! The more power is concentrated, the more dirty deals there are behind it. "
Lu Yiwei said, "Magistrate Bai, what will the Municipal Party Committee's leaders think if they see the materials that Ma Linhui confessed?"
Bai Yuxin sneered, "That depends on what he does. These materials are worthless to some people, and they'll feel disgusted even if they wipe their ass. But if it's placed in the hands of our competitors, it's worth thousands of gold coins. They can't wait to blow this matter up and push him to the altar. According to my analysis, the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary Tian has a gentle character, and there's already rumors that he'll be transferred. He's been restlessly waiting for an opportunity, so he won't offend anyone at this critical juncture. If he can suppress it, he'll probably let Li Hugang go. Liu Kecheng is a living example. "
