"I was wrong, I really was wrong. I'm ashamed of what my motherland has done for me, and I sincerely apologize to the students I held hostage in the auditorium. I'll accept however many years I need to be sentenced to. "
In the interrogation room, Father Zheng confessed to his illegal actions. Although he hadn't caused anyone harm, the hostage taking had really happened. Furthermore, until a new witness testified in the public trial, Father Zheng couldn't be cleared of being a murderer.
At that moment, Gao Tian, Odd Zhuo and Little Silver were all facing Father Zheng in the interrogation room. Little Silver was in charge of taking down Father Zheng's statement. For Little Silver, this was a way of accumulating material. He had been learning to write novels recently, but he wasn't very talented. He had already serialized more than a hundred thousand words, but he hadn't received a contract offer backstage.
Little Silver felt that it was because he hadn't accumulated enough material enough. Thus, helping Gao Tian take down his statement was also a way of accumulating material.
Gao Tian's and Odd Zhuo's interrogations were different. In order not to steal the credit, the two of them had a clear division of labor. Gao Tian only asked about the hostage taking, while Odd Zhuo asked about the magic treasure plagiarism case.
"Did you take the auditorium hostage because of the plagiarism case three years ago?" Gao Tian asked.
"Yes, I had to find out the truth about it. I wouldn't hesitate, no matter the price, "Father Zheng replied, his hands shackled in Spirit Shackles.
This was originally a treatment reserved for the old devil, but considering that Odd Zhuo had taken the blame in recent months and that the realm of the wanted criminals who had been caught had gotten higher and higher, Wang Ling and Wang Ming decided to have the research institute mass-produce them.
Spirit Shackles had already become a standard in prison.
"If no new witness had appeared, would you still have done this?" Gao Tian asked.
Father Zheng thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "It's hard to say …"
"You should have taken legal action. That's the right way to go," Gao Tian said.
"But I really didn't have any other choice. I used online complaints and offline petitions, but nothing came of it in the end, because I didn't have any concrete evidence. As for the witnesses I wanted to find, they all died at the hands of others after I arrived. I didn't hurt anyone in this matter. "
Father Zheng said in full detail, "Including Liu Yi. At first, I just wanted to use magic to pull him out from behind the screen. In the end, when I passed through the screen, I suddenly realized that Liu Yi was already dead."
"Mm."
Gao Tian nodded.
He compared Father Zheng's confession with the evidence they had so far. Father Zheng's words were very credible; he could answer most of the questions in great detail. It was similar to the information the police had.
It was just that Gao Tian and everyone else in the interrogation room was very concerned about one thing: Father Zheng's realm had increased abnormally.
What's going on here?
"Explain to me how you managed to raise your cultivation so quickly. Don't tell me it's because of a fortuitous encounter. It's not, and you're not the main character. " Gao Tian gazed at Father Zheng. It wasn't just Gao Tian who was curious about this matter; all the police officers who had been paying attention to this covert operation were actually very curious.
"I don't know if you believe me …" Speaking of his sudden increase in realm, Father Zheng was a little flustered. He stared into Gao Tian's eyes and replied, "It's because of a bag of frozen dumplings!"
"Instant frozen dumplings!"
As soon as this answer came out, all the police officers inside and outside the interrogation room were shocked.
"What on earth is going on?" Gao Tian asked.
"It actually happened a few days ago, on September 14th!" Faced with questioning, Father Zheng told them everything about how he had become stronger. "For so many years, I've been secretly looking for evidence in an attempt to retract my confession. All my living expenses are basically used to pay for the detective's investigation. To save money, I usually go to the cultivation department store to buy things in the returned goods section.
"That day, as usual, I bought a few bags of frozen food. In the end, after I went back and ate one, I suddenly felt my whole body heat up, and my realm advanced by leaps and bounds. I was full of energy … and then … my realm increased just like that … "
"…" Gao Tian, Little Silver and Odd Zhuo all sucked in cold breaths of air when they heard this.
That was right.
There were no push-ups, no squats, and he didn't insist on not turning on the air conditioner on a hot summer day … it was all because of a bag of frozen dumplings that Father Zheng had advanced!
The point was that this matched up with the information the police had.
The information in Gao Tian's hands clearly stated that after Father Zheng had been detained, the police had found a bag of frozen dumplings in his rental apartment, which had already been eaten. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the dumplings had been bought from the store's returned goods section, and had been sold at a forty percent discount.
Although it was hard to believe, Gao Tian completely believed Father Zheng's words. Not only did they have the information in their hands to testify, but the polygraph in the interrogation room hadn't detected anything unusual. This was a high-precision polygraph; as long as someone didn't answer the question truthfully, the polygraph would emit a beeping alarm.
Of course, this alarm couldn't be played directly; the warning sound would continue to be transmitted through the earpieces hanging in the ears of Gao Tian, Odd Zhuo and Little Silver in the interrogation room. Prisoners usually didn't know about the polygraph, which was to prevent prisoners from deliberately preparing answers in advance when they were being interrogated.
Thus, Gao Tian and the other police officers were stunned.
How could a bag of frozen dumplings be so powerful?
"F * * k! What's the stuffing in these dumplings? Celery pork or mushroom? I'll eat them when I get back tonight!" The police officers outside the interrogation room couldn't sit still anymore, especially Chief Zhao himself. He had been paying close attention to this case, and after learning the "secret" of Father Zheng's promotion, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.
The reason why he hadn't been promoted wasn't just because his "performance" wasn't good enough, but also because he was stuck at a bottleneck in his realm.
Chief Zhao had been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for a very long time, and if he wanted to be transferred to a central core department like Huaxiu Alliance, he had to be at the Soul Formation stage or above.
Gao Tian and Odd Zhuo then whispered to each other and decided to take Father Zheng for a checkup. If it really was because of those frozen dumplings, as long as they did a detailed test, they should be able to analyze the ingredients of the dumplings from Father Zheng's gastric juices.
"Alright, that's all for my questioning. Director Zhuo's next." At that moment, Gao Tian capped his pen and crossed his fingers.
"It's over …" Odd Zhuo said.
"That's it." Gao Tian nodded affirmatively.
Since the chain of evidence matched up, Gao Tian felt that there was no need to continue the interrogation on the "hijacking" itself. On the contrary, Gao Tian was more interested in the reopening of the case three years ago.
But he wasn't the person in charge of it, so Gao Tian could only hand it over to Odd Zhuo.
"First of all, I want to know more about Student Zheng Jingxuan's family situation. May I ask, why did you divorce Student Zheng Jingxuan's mother, Madam He Xiulan? "
Odd Zhuo's first question was a little personal, but it was still very necessary. His family environment was also a major reason why Student Zheng chose to commit suicide in the end.
"Because Ah Lan and I didn't get along, so we divorced," Father Zheng replied.
As soon as he said that, Odd Zhuo and the others instantly heard the lie detector alarm in their headsets. "Beep beep beep beep …"
"Father Zheng, please answer your question truthfully." Odd Zhuo's gaze turned sharp.
Father Zheng panicked a little. "Because … because Ah Lan found out that I cheated …"
"Beep beep beep beep …"
"Because I realized that I like men …"
"Beep beep beep beep …"
Father Zheng was almost in tears. "F * * k! Because our married life isn't happy … of course, it's mainly because of me! Is that okay?"
This time, the alarm didn't go off again.
