I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2717: Chapter 2718: Interrogation Dilemma

After exchanging glances, neither of them said anything else, standing quietly in place.

Before coming here, Zhang Hui had already said that he was just here to assist, and everything should be arranged according to the local customs. He couldn’t steal their thunder.

Naturally, under such circumstances, there’s no need to say much. Leave everything to them.

“Captain Liu, let me handle this.” Su Ying said calmly, her expression serene, displaying strong confidence.

“Alright, you’re the expert in this area. Get them to talk quickly; time is running out.”

“Understood.”

After arranging the interrogation, Liu Qingming escorted everyone out.

“Little Su can handle this; she’s quite formidable in interrogation techniques. There shouldn’t be any issues.”

Zhu Junchi simply nodded without saying anything.

At noon, the group had lunch together and started mapping out the case in the afternoon.

From Liu Qingming’s account, Lin Yi further learned that the size of this group might be bigger than he had initially imagined.

They had bases both in Zhong Hai and He Pingjiang City.

The four people caught here were only part of them.

Regarding their nature, they were posing as Mao Mountain Daoists, selling fake medicine to profit from it.

“Captain Liu, the report is out.”

Just before getting off work, a young man came in holding a few documents.

“The group we caught before, the drugs they were selling contained stimulant ingredients.”

Everyone’s face changed, becoming more serious.

Selling fake medicine and selling drugs containing stimulants are two entirely different concepts.

“The ones we have detained, did their stuff have problems?”

“No, just ordinary fake drugs. After testing, we found that the cost per pill is about two cents, but they sell it for 198. This also violates the relevant regulations.”

Lin Yi smacked his lips; this is way more corrupt than Zhang Youfu.

“But based on the buyers’ testimonies, they said the sellers called themselves Mao Mountain Daoists, claiming the secret formula was passed down for years. So I suspect those we caught earlier and those we caught yesterday might be from the same place. As long as we get them to talk, the case can make significant progress.”

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with this analysis.

“Alright, I understand.”

Liu Qingming acknowledged, and his colleague turned away and left.

“The current issue is stuck here; these people are tougher than I imagined.” Liu Qingming said:

“We nabbed several people before, and they confessed to everything but insisted this was all their own doing, not giving any chance to dig deeper.”

Zhu Junchi lit a cigarette, handing one over to Liu Qingming, saying:

“Similar situation on our side, too. Tough as nails. In a sense, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

“Indeed.” Liu Qingming nodded, saying:

“Little Su is really skilled in this, having cracked open quite a few suspects before. Let’s wait a bit more; there should be results soon.”

Zhu Junchi nodded. Such situations are common, so he didn’t say much.

Lin Yi, feeling bored, began chatting with Li Chuhan on his phone, feeling the most leisurely among them.

After about twenty minutes, the office door opened, and Su Ying walked in from outside.

But even before entering, her anger was palpable, almost exploding.

“Damn it, these guys are really asking for a beating!”

“What happened?” Liu Qingming stepped forward and asked.

“They refused to admit anything, continually saying they were innocent.”

Liu Qingming’s face didn’t look good.

He had pinned his hopes on Su Ying, but even she was running out of options. This isn’t going to be easy.

“How much time is left?”

Su Ying checked her watch, “There’s 17 hours left till it’s been 48 hours.”

Everyone here knew the rules.

If there isn’t any substantial evidence, they can only detain them for 48 hours; otherwise, they’d have to release them.

“Tonight we interrogate continuously. I don’t believe they won’t talk!”

“Hmm!”

“Captain Zhu, let’s pause our discussion here today and resume tomorrow once there’s news from the interrogation.”

“Alright.”

After arranging the follow-up matters, Lin Yi and the others left.

After all, it was on their turf, such matters weren’t for them to handle.

Leaving the substation, Lin Yi stretched lazily.

With official matters done, he could arrange his private time freely.

Though Gu Yiran was a woman, she was quite rough around the edges, not that particular.

So the group chose to eat at a street food stall.

“What do you think about this case?”

Zhu Junchi asked, flicking his cigarette.

“It may be more serious than imagined.” Lin Yi replied:

“Caught quite a few people, but they all remain tight-lipped. Their organizational and disciplinary qualities are impressive, not something common organizations possess.”

“Makes it interesting.” Zhu Junchi said:

“Remember the case we handled before, when we went into the village to arrest people—how you seemed to have taken out quite a few?”

Lin Yi laughed heartily, “Remember, this might be similar. But their stubbornness might suggest the interests involved are larger than anticipated.”

“Let’s observe the situation; with them taking turns, results should be forthcoming soon.”

Lin Yi smiled, “Not necessarily.”

“What, don’t trust their capability?”

“With seasoned professionals like them, if you aren’t serious, it’ll be ineffective.”

“That approach isn’t popular anymore now.”

“So, this complicates matters; it’ll depend on their strategy.”

Zhu Junchi nodded, and they didn’t continue the topic.

“Got any plans?” Lin Yi asked after dinner.

Both shook their heads, “Any plans yourself?”

“Since I’m here, I might as well experience the local culture.”

“That’s a good idea, let’s go together.” Zhu Junchi agreed.

About half an hour later, the car stopped at a bathhouse named Yulong Pavilion.

“Your idea of local culture is a bath?” Gu Yiran asked.

“What else?”

“Aren’t you worried about a police raid catching you?”

“A great man once said, finding normal folk isn’t about breaking codes.”

Zhu Junchi: …

Gu Yiran: …

In the end, Gu Yiran didn’t go. Lin Yi and Zhu Junchi boldly went to enjoy themselves.

Early next morning, Gu Yiran drove over to pick them up, buying breakfast in passing.

Upon returning to the substation, they found Liu Qingming with a cold expression, and Su Ying didn’t look too pleased either.

“Captain Liu, how is it going? No word?”

“Interrogated all night, but nothing.” Liu Qingming said helplessly.
