The police officer who interrogated Shen Mei had been dozing off.

  However, Shen Mei was full of energy. She had been sitting on the chair, swaying, but she did not speak.

  Tang Yan coaxed his son to sleep and returned to the police station after that. He realized that Shen Mei had not confessed. Initially, he wanted to use some tricks, but the chief suddenly came to the interrogation room. “Tang Yan, come here for a moment.”


  Tang Yan walked to the chief and he introduced a person to him. “This is Chief Long of the Ninth Division. He heard that we had caught Shen Mei, so he specially came over to apply for the transfer of her to him for interrogation.”


  When he heard the words ‘Ninth Division’, Tang Yan frowned.

  Previously, he had heard that the higher-ups were investigating Bai Xinyi’s case, but he had never seen anyone take action. This time, however, they showed up and asked for Shen Mei from them.

  “I want to know the reason.”


  “Song Jiang, Feng Qiang, and Shen Mei are all in cahoots. We have been waiting for Feng Qiang for a long time, but we haven’t caught him making a move. This time, Shen Mei’s exposed. Of course, we want to get something new from her,” Chief Long explained. “Tang Yan, don’t worry. If she goes to the Ninth Division, she’ll spit it all out. It’s better than you sitting here and staring at each other. What do you think?”


  “Song Jiang has caused so much trouble. Aren’t you going to stop him?” Tang Yan’s tone was unfriendly. “If I leave my prisoner to you and I can’t get any information, how am I going to end Lou Zhao’s case?”


  “As long as Shen Mei confesses, I can let you know everything. The prerequisite is that you must abide by the rules of confidentiality.”


  “Of course, there’s no problem with that,” Tang Yan replied.

  Rather than keeping Shen Mei here, it would be better to send her to the Ninth Division. This way, the results would come faster. After all, that division was responsible for the interrogation of major cases, and they had many more methods to use than a regular police station.

  “Then I’ll take Shen Mei away now. I’ll leave the other one to you.”


  Tang Yan helped Chief Long transfer Shen Mei.

  After that, he asked the chief, “Are the people from the Ninth Division reliable?”


  “They can ask whatever you want to know.”


  Tang Yan didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, he went to the interrogation room.

  The man who was taken as a scapegoat was looking down at his feet. No one knew what he was thinking.

  “Yang Wentao,” Tang Yan shouted. “You are Shen Mei’s lover, aren’t you? In September this year, you were diagnosed with lung cancer. You know that you don’t have much time left, so you want to help Shen Mei do something big, right?”


  The man opposite him was completely silent.

  “It’s okay if you don’t say anything, but do you know where Shen Mei went?” Tang Yan asked the seriously ill man. “She was taken away by the people from the Ninth Division. Do you know what kind of place that is? That place is not a police station. The police will treat you politely and even serve you tea and water. Once you enter that place, other than confessing, the only thing left is a life worse than death.”


  “If you hold on for one more second, she will suffer for one more second.”


  After hearing Tang Yan’s words, the man finally raised his head. “I want to see Shen Mei.”


  “Even I can’t see her now, what more you!” Tang Yan answered him directly. “The kidnapping cases of Lou Zhao and the Lou family’s child have irrefutable evidence. You can’t deny it, but as long as you speak, Shen Mei will be able to avoid a lot of pain. You are already in a critical stage of cancer. You know how it feels. If you want to give her a chance, you’d better open your mouth.”


  The man put his hands together. He was obviously struggling.

  “I can’t say it. If I say it, she will die too.”


  “Then let’s just continue like this.” Tang Yan spread his hands and made an indifferent gesture. “Anyway, Shen Mei is in the Ninth Division now. It doesn’t matter if you don’t reveal anything. She will have to. She will spit it all out.”


  After saying that, Tang Yan got up from his chair.

  “This is the last chance I’m giving you. In the future, even if you want to say it, I won’t fight for you to go to the Ninth Division or plead for you.”


  “I don’t know much,” Yang Wentao said nervously. “I only know that there is someone behind Shen Mei. I have always been working with Shen Mei. I do love her, and I am indeed dying. But if the police want me to tell them the truth behind the scenes, I really can’t answer anything.”


  “Then tell them clearly about your and Shen Mei’s crimes. Lou Zhao’s case.”


  “I killed the man.”


  “Watch your words. The forensic doctor has confirmed that the person who strangled Lou Zhao was a woman,” Tang Yan immediately said. “If you speak of these useless things. I think it’s better if you don’t speak.”


  “Shen Mei and I lured him to the house that is about to be demolished together. I was the one who did it, but I suddenly had a seizure and lost my strength, so Shen Mei continued to do it,” Yang Wentao explained. “I was also the one who dumped the body.”


  “Then do you know that Shen Mei has been using you?”


  “I do,” Yang Wentao replied in a low voice.

  “Then do you know that you were her scapegoat?”


  “I do.”


  This was undoubtedly true love. Tang Yan didn’t even know how to describe this man who was crazy in love.

  “You can’t tell me who’s behind it, but Shen Mei still has to pay the price for everything she has done.”


  Tang Yan knew that Yang Wentao really wouldn’t be able to say anything. It was no wonder that the people from the Ninth Division didn’t want him at all.

  So, Tang Yan got up from his chair again and was about to hand it over to his subordinate to handle. Just then, Yang Wentao stopped him. “I only know that that person’s surname is Feng. Shen Mei calls him Uncle Rong.”


  Tang Yan turned around and gave Yang Wentao a meaningful look.

  “If something happens to Shen Mei, you want that Uncle Rong to be buried with you, don’t you?”


  Yang Wentao didn’t say anything, but his intention was very obvious.

  Tang Yan finally got some new information, so he immediately asked his subordinate to take his statement. Meanwhile, he returned to the office and asked Old Cheng to immediately investigate who this Uncle Rong or Feng Qiang mentioned by the Ninth Division was.

  He didn’t know why, but perhaps it was because of the Ninth Division’s appearance that Tang Yan suddenly felt like things were about to come to light.

  The days of the Song family weren’t long.

  “Old Cheng, I’ll be able to avenge you soon.”


  Old Cheng was instantly excited when he heard this. He thought that Tang Yan had never taken this matter to heart, but he didn’t expect him to still remember it.

  “Thank you, Captain Tang.”
……

  Soon, fog began to cover Jianchuan.

  Uncle Rong returned to the Song family with mist all over his body. He had pulled a few strings to find out that Shen Mei had been transferred the night after she was arrested. As for where she had been transferred, he had no way of knowing.

  Uncle Rong thought that things didn’t look good.

  Although he knew that Shen Mei was very loyal, she was still in the hands of the police. If the police used any tricks to make Shen Mei speak the truth, the consequences would be unimaginable.

  Speaking of which, he also found out who suspected Shen Mei and exposed her.

  The little bride of the Sheng family!
