Chapter 579 - 579 575 Interrogation

579: Chapter 575 Interrogation 579: Chapter 575 Interrogation Fang Jinsan hung up the phone and was a bit perplexed by Ye Fan’s call.

He had hoped that Ye Fan would accept his approach, holding on to a sliver of luck.

Hence, after hesitating repeatedly, he decided not to tell Chen Kunfei and sneaked off to meet Ye Fan.

After Ye Fan finished the call, he looked through the work responsibilities and discovered that dealing with pickpockets was one of the tasks under Chen Kunfei’s charge.

About five or six minutes passed before Fang Jinsan finally entered.

Ye Fan observed Fang Jinsan, noting that he was just over 1.6 meters tall, with a lean build like a monkey, pointy mouth and cheeks, and wore a police uniform that lacked any trace of authority, causing Ye Fan to frown.

It wasn’t that he judged by appearances, but Fang Jinsan exuded the aura of a no-gooder.

“Commissar Ye, you wanted to see me?” Fang Jinsan asked with a servile smile, half-bowing in hopeful flattery.

Ye Fan spoke in a calm tone, “Last Sunday night, did you take away three pickpockets from the Criminal Investigation Department?”

“Last Sunday night?” Fang Jinsan pondered for a moment, then remembered and nodded, “Yes, there were three pickpockets caught by the CID.

But, dealing with pickpockets is a responsibility of our Public Security Department, so I took them back.”

At that time, Ye Fan had reported the crime as an ordinary citizen, and Fang Jinsan did not know that Ye Fan had personally caught those pickpockets.

Although puzzled about how Ye Fan knew about the three pickpockets arrested last Sunday, he didn’t think much of it.

“What happened then?” Ye Fan asked.

Fang Jinsan heard Ye Fan’s follow-up and felt a jolt of panic inside.

He did not reply immediately but thought for a moment before answering, “Those three pickpockets had one of their hands crushed by the people who caught them, and since it was their first offense and they looked pitiful, I just gave them a disciplinary talk and let them go.”

“Let them go?” Ye Fan inquired with a frown.

“Yes,” Fang Jinsan replied.

“Go back and bring me the interrogation records of these three pickpockets for review,” Ye Fan ordered.

Fang Jinsan replied with difficulty, “There weren’t any formal interrogations at the time, so…”

“Smack!” Ye Fan slammed his hand on the desk, chastising fiercely, “You dared to release them without any formal interrogation?

Do you even know their backgrounds?”

Fang Jinsan jumped with fright and said in a panic, “I did ask at the time, but after two or three days, I…

I forgot.”

Then, he tried to justify himself, “These three pickpockets were first-time offenders, and someone had already disabled one of their hands.

They had already learned a harsh lesson, so I…

I…”

“First-time offenders?!” Ye Fan narrowed his eyes menacingly and stared at Fang Jinsan, “It seems you really don’t take me, your political commissar, seriously.

Dare you lie straight to my face?”

Sweat beaded on Fang Jinsan’s forehead as he said, “Commissar Ye, I don’t understand what you’re talking about?”

“Hmph!” Ye Fan snorted coldly, “You definitely don’t know that those three pickpockets were apprehended by me personally!

Their method of committing crimes was skillful, and they were not afraid when caught, even threatening me.

After finding the stolen items on them, they had the audacity to draw a dagger and try to attack me from behind.”

“Is this what you call first-time offenders?

Do you think they are pitiful?

For such a serious matter, you incredibly released them without any formal interrogation…”

Listening to Ye Fan’s words, Fang Jinsan became as pale as a ghost, covered in cold sweat.

“Speak!

What is your relationship with those three pickpockets?!” Ye Fan suddenly demanded coldly.

Fang Jinsan’s legs weakened, nearly driving him to his knees.

However, he clenched his teeth and said, “Commissar Ye, I know you have your opinions about me, but isn’t it too much to associate me with those pickpockets?”

“Too much?

Stop making excuses in front of me!” Ye Fan said icily, “Do you think that just because you released them, I can’t find them?

The hands of those pickpockets were seriously injured; they must have gone to the hospital, and the hospital surely would have their identity information on record.”

Ye Fan stood up, walked out from behind his desk to face Fang Jinsan, who stumbled back in fright.

“Confession leads to leniency; resistance to severity!” Ye Fan said coldly, “You’d better spill everything right now, otherwise…”

“I don’t understand what I have to confess.

You won’t frame me so easily!

Everyone in the police department is watching!” Fang Jinsan replied through gritted teeth.

“Still being tough, huh?” Ye Fan sneered, “Do you think I’ll use the normal investigative methods like a regular police officer?

I’m a soldier, and I prefer to achieve my goals with direct and brute force methods!”

With that, he suddenly reached out, yanked Fang Jinsan over, and with his right hand’s index and middle fingers, he pressed several points on Fang Jinsan’s body seven or eight times.

Fang Jinsan immediately started convulsing as if experiencing a seizure, his face twisted in agony, yet he could not make any sound.

Ye Fan waited for about ten seconds, then slapped Fang Jinsan’s body, finally stopping him from his “seizure” and throwing him to the ground.

Fang Jinsan’s gaunt face slowly returned to normal from its twisted state as he gasped for air, his body soaked as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

“No medical examination in the hospital will reveal any injury from my technique,” Ye Fan said indifferently.

“Now, are you ready to confess?

You only have one chance.

If you don’t talk, I can still find out, although it will take some time.

If you do talk, I might be inclined to plead for you a bit.”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk,” Fang Jinsan was no tough guy, and he knew that Ye Fan would definitely find out.

He did not want to go through that torturous pain again, “Are you…

are you sure you’ll plead for me?”

“That will depend on how you behave,” Ye Fan replied in a calm tone.

After speaking, Ye Fan turned around, went back to his desk, sat down, opened a notebook, took a pen, and said, “Speak.

What’s your relationship with those three pickpockets?

A protective umbrella?”

“I’m not their umbrella,” Fang Jinsan said, “Chen Kunfei is their umbrella.”

Fang Jinsan continued, “There’s a group of pickpockets in the county, led by Zhu Haiquan, with about twenty pickpockets under him.

They specialize in crimes in Mingde County’s city and towns and occasionally venture into the city.

As their protector, Chen Kunfei, Zhu Haiquan has to pay him a certain amount of money every month…”

“Where is their hideout?” Ye Fan inquired.

“In British Town Villa Complex on Taiji Avenue, villa number 25,” Fang Jinsan replied.

After about fifteen minutes, Ye Fan had asked all his questions and recorded the answers.

Then he picked up the phone and made two calls.

After finishing the calls, Fang Jinsan nervously asked Ye Fan, “Commissar Ye, I’ve made a full confession.

Can you please plead on my behalf?

This kind of thing is all orchestrated by Chen Kunfei.

I just followed his orders and assisted him.”

Ye Fan glanced indifferently at Fang Jinsan and said, “Considering your confession, I’ll seek a reduced punishment for you appropriately, but don’t expect to get off scot-free!”
