Chapter 1734 Tell me his name!
Interrogation room of Yanjing City Public Security Bureau.
The lights were deliberately dimmed, focusing on the lone wooden chair in the middle of the room.
The air was filled with a subtle scent of tobacco and sweat, and a hint of tension.
When Han Li was brought in, he rubbed his elbows nervously with his hands, his eyes were evasive, and he stood in front of the wooden chair, at a loss.
Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian were sitting behind the desks opposite each other, looking at a stack of detailed information.
Guo Qian's face was serious, with the seriousness and oppression unique to public security.
In contrast, Li Xiangnan was much calmer. When he found that Han Li refused to sit down, his eyes suddenly became deep, as if he could see the other person's heart pretending to be strong.
"District Chief Han, please sit down!" He remembered Han Li's tone when he first met him two hours ago, and couldn't help but imitate the other party's tone.
"Advisor Li!" Han Li's face was bitter, and he put his hands on the armrest of the chair. "You said you wanted me to come over for a talk, but we don't need to do this, right? We're all on the same system!"
He was confused and even more distressed.
After Xu Sheng's body was found in the morning, many people in the prison were called in for questioning by the police, but everyone knew it was just a routine matter.
But I am different!
He was the only one called to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Such differentiated treatment made him subconsciously resist.
"District Chief Han!" Guo Qian waved his hand, stood up and walked over. He took out a cigarette, handed it to the other party, and said casually, "You said it too. We are all in the same system. Just say whatever you want to say. You smoke!"
Han Li took the cigarette and saw the other party pointing at the chair. He looked bitter and had to sit down in the chair dejectedly. He didn't feel better until Guo Qian lit the cigarette for him and the smoke was inhaled into his lungs.
"District Chief Han will retire in two years, right?" Li Xiangnan flipped through the information. His voice was not loud, as if he was chatting casually, but it carried some weight.
Upon hearing this, Han Li began to wonder if he was under investigation. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said bluntly, "Advisor Li, please give me some face. I want to retire with dignity!"
"Heh..." Li Xiangnan suddenly smiled, shrugged, and closed the notebook. "Then it depends on how you cooperate!"
"I will absolutely cooperate!" Han Li immediately raised his hand, "I know the rules!"
Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian exchanged a glance. The latter walked around the table and sat down, saying, "District Chief Han, since you're here, do you know why?"
Han Li forced a smile. "Captain Guo, Advisor Li, I understand. It's still about Xu Sheng, right? Before coming here, I already told the police officers in prison that there's nothing unusual about me. If there is anything, I'll definitely tell your comrades!"
"Oh? Everything's normal?" Li Xiangnan seemed to agree with him. Although his voice was puzzled, it was also calm. However, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "District Chief Han, you still have two years to retire. Where is your son studying? He's about to graduate, right? I heard he's doing very well. Do you want him to come and take over?"
Han Li was stunned. He never expected that Li Xiangnan would talk about this topic at this time. This was completely contrary to what Guo Qian had started. Instead of asking about the case, he chatted about family matters. There was a barely perceptible softness in his eyes, but that softness concealed a deep anxiety.
"The kid's fine, quite sensible...he's...he's here," Han Li suddenly lost for words and took two puffs of his cigarette before regaining his composure. "He's going to the Railway Vocational School! He can accept the assignment when the time comes, or come to my unit to replace me, it's up to him..."
"Raising a child isn't easy, and this school is pretty good!" Li Xiangnan's tone was filled with emotion, but his eyes remained sharp. "So, District Chief Han, we must not let anything go wrong. Otherwise, when the child is assigned a job, it will be difficult for him to pass the political review!"
"..." Han Li's eyes suddenly tightened, and the cigarette in his hand dropped dark white ash appropriately. His head was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat. He swallowed his saliva and nodded, saying, "Advisor Li is right. Adults have a profound influence on children's future!"
Li Xiangnan nodded in approval, deliberately unscrewing the teacup and leaving a blank under the pretext of drinking water.
Guo Qian immediately understood and asked, "District Chief Han, prices have been rising rapidly in recent years. Your family members are unemployed, and although your children receive subsidies at school, it's barely enough to cover their food and clothing expenses year-round. Your prison salary is quite tight, isn't it, as you have to support your parents-in-law and their families?"
Han Li's face suddenly turned pale.
His fingers trembled for a moment, and he immediately used this as an excuse to put out his cigarette. His Adam's apple rolled as he spoke, "It's not so bad... The organization takes good care of me... I've won some honors at work... and I get some subsidies... If I spend frugally... it's enough..."
"Really?" Li Xiangnan suddenly leaned forward, standing up from his seat with an invisible, oppressive gesture. "Then tell me, a few days ago, you suddenly deposited 500 yuan at the Chengdong Savings Bank... Where did you get the money?"
boom!
These words sounded like thunder in Han Li's ears.
He raised his head suddenly, and most of the blood color on his face faded away in an instant.
His pupils contracted in fear, and his lips trembled suddenly.
"You...you guys are checking me?"
His lips trembled for a long time, but he could only say this tacit understanding among the three of them.
He deliberately ran far away and deposited the money in a savings bank in two directions from his home, but it was found out so easily!
I still underestimated the methods of the police!
Five hundred dollars in 1980!
It’s equivalent to an average person’s salary for one and a half years!
For an old district chief with a relatively ordinary family background, this is definitely an inexplicable windfall!
"I...I...I, I..." Han Li was incoherent, his mind was blank, and he scratched his knees again and again, forcing himself to calm down.
But no matter how he tried to calm himself down, his psychological defenses were eventually broken down by the evidence that Li Xiangnan and Guo Qian had obtained in advance.
"Old Han!" Li Xiangnan's voice remained steady and measured, carrying a strange all-seeing power. He tapped his pen on the table, catching the other man's eye. "I've asked Supervisor Shi, District Chief Cheng, and checked several of your accounts. You're not a money-grubber. The source of this money is strange. Are you saving it for your own retirement or for your son's future? And where did you get it from? Or, to put it another way... did someone threaten you into accepting it?"
Li Xiangnan did not press further aggressively.
Instead, they asked Han Li to choose from a few closed-ended questions.
This is a superb interrogation technique that will give the suspect in desperate situation a seemingly graspable opportunity to escape!
If the suspect's reasons do not include these, then he will subconsciously resist and argue!
And if Li Xiangnan happens to hit the mark, the other party will subconsciously follow his explanation.
Li Xiangnan will gain the advantage both inside and outside.
A huge crack appeared in Han Li's psychological defense at this moment.
His face was dull and gray, and sweat was dripping down his temples.
Li Xiangnan glanced at Guo Qian.
When someone plays the good guy, there will naturally be someone else who plays the bad guy.
Guo Qian immediately shouted, "Han Li! You are completely confused! Xu Sheng is dead, and now he's dead! This is no small matter! You should know what the consequences are of shielding a murderer and not reporting the crime! You've toiled your entire life in Yanjing Prison, and you've even become the deputy division chief. You're about to retire, and your son will be able to take over smoothly! Are you going to destroy the reputation, character, and career you've built up so far just for five hundred yuan because of a sinister thought? How will you and your son live in the future? Have you ever thought about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Han Li suddenly collapsed, crying out, "I...how could I have known he would die! If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have done it...They just told me...to leave the door open for convenience...Opening the door for 500 yuan, anyone who doesn't do it would be a fool..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Qian's eyes immediately lit up with joy!
Han Li was indeed involved!
Consultant Li’s intuition is absolutely amazing!
"who are they?"
However, at this moment, Li Xiangnan had already stood up and walked in front of Han Li, looking at him with anger and murderous intent in his eyes.
"Tell me his name!"
