Chapter 356: Statement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Feng Jing accompanied Yin Tao into the interrogation room. When the police officers inside saw Feng Jing, they got up from their seats and closed the door of the interrogation room after walking out.

When Laowu saw Yin Tao, a moment of shock flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

“You recognize me, right?” Yin Tao sat opposite Zhao Wu and carefully observed his expression.

“Yes.” Zhao Wu nodded, looking timid.

“Why did you deliberately lure me into the alley?”

Hearing Yin Tao’s question, Zhao Wu stuttered as he explained, “I didn’t do it on purpose… I just snatched something. You kept chasing after me. The rest has nothing to do with me.”

Yin Tao didn’t expect that Zhao Wu wouldn’t even admit to these things. She chuckled and continued to ask, “Is that so? Then what about the things you snatched?”

“I lost it.” Zhao Wu’s voice was very soft. If not for the silence in the interrogation room, he wouldn’t have been heard.

“A thief lost the things he stole?” Although Yin Tao had a smile on her face, there was an obvious hint of coldness in her voice. “Do you need to call the woman who lost the things here? Oh right, and the person who borrowed my motorcycle. You two should have corroborated your statements before coming here.”

Hearing Yin Tao mention the others, Zhao Wu clenched his fists nervously, and sweat seeped out of his forehead. “I really don’t know anything. The things I stole are gone. You shouldn’t have arrested me!”

“Even if you really only robbed something, it’s impossible for you to leave the police station so easily. Do you think carjacking on the main road is a minor offense?”

Yin Tao felt that the man in front of her must have been properly briefed. He understood that what he did was classified as a minor snatch theft.. As for Yin Tao’s abduction, he didn’t mention it at all.

“No one made a police report about the snatch theft, right? You have no reason to arrest me!”

Feng Jing looked down at Zhao Wu and asked coldly, “Why aren’t you telling the truth? How do you know that no one made a police report? There are many surveillance cameras near the theater. It’s very easy to find the woman who pretended to be robbed. We’re giving you a chance by asking you now. If you don’t cooperate and persist in lying, we can’t do anything!”

Zhao Wu lowered his head and seemed to consider for a long time before slowly lifting his head and saying, “I really don’t know the truth. The reason why I went to snatch something was indeed arranged by someone.”

“Who arranged it?” Yin Tao asked impatiently when she saw that Zhao Wu was caving in.

“Some hooligans got the news that they could get a sum of money by luring you to the alley. I didn’t think it’s illegal, so I agreed. However, look at me now.

I think I’ve been cheated. Not only did I not get the money, but I was also targeted by you.” Zhao Wu spread his hands aggrievedly, as if he was a victim.

Feng Jing and Yin Tao looked at each other. It was obvious that Zhao Wu was still not telling the truth. Moreover, his tone was completely different from his nervous state. It was obvious that he had been taught how to deal with their interrogation.

“Who are those hooligans who gave you the information? What are their names and describe their appearances.” Feng Jing continued to ask.

“Officer, how can I remember? Our people are very messy and we’re not that familiar with each other usually. We only come together when we have some work to do. We don’t usually don’t interact socially.” Zhao Wu scratched his head gently, as if sitting here and being interrogated was enough to make him depressed.

Feng Jing knew that the man in front of him had already prepared a lot of stories to brush them off. However, he did not show that he was too anxious. Instead, he slowly asked, “Do you know Liang Yi?”

Hearing Liang Yi’s name, Zhao Wu’s body stiffened unnaturally. Then, he shook his head forcefully and said firmly, “I don’t know him. I’ve never heard of him.”

“Don’t all of you have many nicknames? How can you be sure that you don’t know this person?” Yin Tao also noticed Zhao Wu’s abnormal reaction when he heard Liang Yi’s name.

“This surname isn’t very common. I really don’t know him. I’ve never heard of this name,” Zhao Wu explained confidently without any hesitation.

Yin Tao and Feng Jing couldn’t get anything out of Zhao Wu. After sending Zhao Wu to remand, the two of them left the interrogation room.

“Brother Feng, do you think Zhao Wu will tell the truth?” Yin Tao asked Feng Jing curiously. In her opinion, interrogating Zhao Wu seemed to be futile..
