In the room, Fang Zhangfu was buckled on the chair and kept cursing. If the room was not sealed, his curses would have traveled far.
There was no one in the room. Fang Zhangfu was extremely irritable and angry at this moment. Hidden under the irritation was the deep fear that was hidden in the depths of his heart.
Cheng Xiangming did not rush in but stood outside for a while. After listening to Fang Zhangfu's hysterical curses, Cheng Xiangming pushed the door and walked in.
When Fang Zhangfu saw someone coming in, he wanted to curse. It was only when he saw that it was Cheng Xiangming that he swallowed his words.
Captain Cheng, what are you trying to do? What you're doing is illegal. Aren't you afraid that when we return to the Provincial Department, we'll report this to the leaders of the Provincial Department? Fang Zhangfu stared at Cheng Xiangming and asked in a hoarse voice. He had cursed too much earlier and his voice was a little hoarse.
Illegal? Little Fang, don't you understand what's going on? If you didn't do something shameful, do you think you'll be a prisoner now? Cheng Xiangming smiled and did not give Fang Zhangfu a chance to think. Cheng Xiangming continued. A few years ago, you and Jiang Yi went out to handle a case together. Jiang Yi was killed by you. Do you think you can keep this a secret? Heaven is watching what people do. Retribution will come one day.
Cheng … Captain Cheng, you're talking nonsense. Fang Zhangfu's eyes were wide open as he stared at Cheng Xiangming.
I'm talking nonsense? Xiaoxie had already confessed and told the whole story in detail. You still want to quibble? Cheng Xiangming walked forward slowly and looked directly at Fang Zhangfu.
No … it's impossible. You're talking nonsense. Fang Zhangfu kept retreating. Under Cheng Xiangming's gaze, Fang Zhangfu retreated to the corner of the wall.
Unable to retreat, Fang Zhangfu suddenly came to his senses and looked at Cheng Xiangming. Captain Cheng, don't play such psychological tactics. Do you think I don't know Jie Zhangfu's character? His willpower is stronger than anyone, and his psychological quality is stronger than anyone. Will he admit it? You're using such a low-level psychological tactic to deceive me. Aren't you looking down on me too much? No matter what, I'm still your 'disciple'. How can you look down on your own disciple so much?
Hehe, of course, I won't look down on you. As a criminal investigator, our mental fortitude is stronger than that of ordinary people. I've also taught you before, so I understand you. In front of you, do I need to play such low-level psychological tactics? You're right, Jie Zhangfu is better than most people. His mental fortitude is strong, and his willpower is strong. But you've overlooked one thing. He has more conscience than you and Li Zhijun. That conscience in the depths of his heart has not been extinguished. That's why he, who is the least likely to open his mouth, unexpectedly opened his mouth. This is because he has been suffering from this matter for all these years. He said that he had long wanted to be free. Today, he finally has the face to face Jiang Yi and his brother in the netherworld. As for you and Li Zhijun, you were once brothers who fought side by side with Jiang Yi. You went on missions together and handled cases together. You should have forged a deep friendship, but what did you do?
Cheng Xiangming walked towards Fang Zhangfu step by step, slowly enunciating each word. Every word he said was like a knife, ruthlessly stabbing into Fang Zhangfu's heart.
At this moment, Fang Zhangfu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood dumbfounded on the spot. He did not have the slightest bit of doubt in Cheng Xiangming's words. This was because he understood Jie Zhangfu. In the past few years, when they were in the Provincial Department together, Jie Zhangfu had repeatedly revealed his pain from the incident with Jiang Yi. If it wasn't for him and Li Zhijun constantly persuading him and secretly warning him not to cause trouble, he would have suspected that Jie Zhangfu would have voluntarily turned himself in.
In fact, with Jie Zhangfu's status, Jie Zhangfu would not have compromised so easily in the incident with Jiang Yi. However, because his family was threatened, Jie Zhangfu ignored his conscience and conspired with them. Now that Jie Zhangfu was the first to stand up and confess what happened that year, even if Fang Zhangfu wanted to doubt Cheng Xiangming's words, he could not come up with any reason to convince himself.
Seeing Fang Zhangfu's reaction, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Cheng Xiangming's eyes. Fang Zhangfu's reaction had already explained everything. Jiang Yi's death actually had another hidden story. It was not a sacrifice, but … Cheng Xiangming could not bear to think further. From the deep conversation he had with Director Zheng Zhongqiang a few days ago, to the time Zheng Zhongqiang asked him to bring people to Hongshan County in advance to make preparations to take measures against Fang Zhangfu and the others who went out with Jiang Yi to investigate the case, and to dig out the hidden story from them, Cheng Xiangming had always been unwilling to believe this fact. He was willing to believe that this was just Zheng Zhongqiang's wishful thinking, and he did not want to think that this was the tragedy of his own people harming his own people.
Just now, whether he used words to trick Jie Zhangfu or played psychological tactics with Fang Zhangfu, he actually held on to the last glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped that everything was just a guess. But now, if he, a veteran criminal investigator for 20 or 30 years, still could not see the clues from Jie Zhangfu's reaction just now and Fang Zhangfu's current reaction, then he should not be a criminal policeman anymore.
At this moment, Cheng Xiangming did not have a trace of joy. On the contrary, there was only sadness in the depths of his heart.
After standing in the same place for a long time, Cheng Xiangming stared at Fang Zhangfu. Little Fang, you all let me down.
After saying this, Cheng Xiangming unexpectedly did not continue the interrogation, but left the room.
The policeman who came in with Cheng Xiangming was somewhat puzzled. Seeing that Cheng Xiangming had left, he had no choice but to follow him out.
Captain Cheng, Fang Zhangfu's psychological defense was obviously loosened. Why didn't you take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack him? The policeman asked, puzzled.
It's not that easy. Would a criminal policeman's psychological quality be so poor? Cheng Xiangming sighed. Do you think he will completely believe us if we deceive him by saying that Jie Zhangfu had confessed first? If we continue to press him too hard, it will make him suspicious. So it's better to stop before going too far. This will make him uncertain. What's true and what's false, what's true and what's false, what's true and what's true, he's playing psychological warfare with our own people. Let's see who is more skillful.

In Jiang City, Lin Gang got off work as usual and left the Provincial Department by car. That night, Lin Gang was going to visit Zhang Yiping. He did not have the chance to meet Zhang Yiping at noon, so he planned to go directly to Zhang Yiping's home in the evening. He had called Zhang Yiping in advance, and Zhang Yiping agreed to it. She also invited him to attend the family dinner that night, which made Lin Gang feel much better. After all, he and Zhang Yiping were old friends. No matter what, Zhang Yiping would not take Chen Xing's side.
