Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart
Chapter 580 - 579: Interrogating at the Same Time

Chapter 580: Chapter 579: Interrogating at the Same Time

Not long after Zhang Jian was arrested, Shi Chengkun was also pinned down by Sun Jun.

"You’re just a deputy director of a county and you dare to grab me? Sun Jun, have you had enough of wearing that uniform?"

They were indeed cut from the same cloth; Shi Chengkun and Zhang Jian’s rhetoric were nearly identical.

Sun Jun looked at him with pity, and actually loosened his grip slightly.

"Snort, now you should kneel before me..."

"Zhang Jian has been arrested." Sun Jun coldly interrupted him, the pity in his eyes turning to mockery, "Director Shi is so cunning, why don’t you guess what Zhang Jian has already told us?"

Shi Chengkun instantly lost his ability to speak, staring at Sun Jun in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Sun Jun didn’t care about his expression, walking over to sit down opposite the desk, casually flipping through some papers as he spoke, "There is another hour before the train to the provincial city departs, you can start your excuses now."

Shi Chengkun did not respond; he sat there dazed, his entire focus concentrated on what kind of filth Zhang Jian might have splashed onto him, to the point that he even ignored the pain of his hands being bound.

He didn’t make a sound, and neither did Sun Jun, who seemed to hope that Shi Chengkun would keep quiet and just accept a death sentence directly.

In the vast room, only the crisp ticking of the second hand could be heard, each tick relentlessly pounding Shi Chengkun’s heart.

The room was not hot, but Shi Chengkun felt like he was holding a brazier in the heat of summer, with sweat dripping down in beads.

It seemed like a century had passed when Shi Chengkun swallowed his saliva and asked with a trembling voice, "When, when was Zhang Jian captured?"

Sun Jun glanced at him, snorted with laughter, "Do you have the right to ask questions?"

"..."

Sun Jun’s clear attitude of treating him like a criminal made Shi Chengkun even more panicked.

Undoubtedly, they must have had enough evidence to speak to him so confidently...

Time flowed steadily, never slowing its pace for anyone in need of more time to think.

Suddenly, Sun Jun stood up.

Shi Chengkun’s body trembled, and he suddenly blurted out, "Zhang Jian is lying to you! He’s lying! I never did those things!"

Sun Jun didn’t even look at him, walking towards the door on his own.

"Sun Jun, Sun Jun wait! Listen to me! I’ll tell you everything!"

Sun Jun picked up the thermos by the door, still with a lazy demeanour, "Oh, go ahead."

He poured himself some water, showing no intention of taking notes at all.

Feeling that he was at a disadvantage, Shi Chengkun started with a bombshell revelation, "Zhang Jian has killed someone!"

At the same time, a similar situation was unfolding in the Hei Province Military District.

"Who gave you the guts to arrest me? Let your leader come to see me!" Sitting in the interrogation room, Zhang Jian still held his chin high, arrogant and contemptuous.

"Our leader really doesn’t have time to dawdle with you," Company Commander Zhou rolled his eyes, "You don’t know the reason you were arrested? Alright, I’ll be kind enough to enlighten you before you pass on—we’ve arrested Shi Chengkun, get it now?"

Zhang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Shi Chengkun? What does his arrest have to do with me? Could it be that he dares to report me?"

The plot was the same, yet the reactions of the individuals differed.

Shi Chengkun, at least, had something to fear because he had not yet reached the pinnacle.

Zhang Jian was different; he was confident that everything was in his control, and in his eyes, Shi Chengkun was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

Ants might dare to bite humans, but that’s hardly a significant matter.

Company Commander Zhou flashed a grin: "Oh, then tell us, how did we know where you were?"

Zhang Jian furrowed his brows.

His visit to Xu Chingching today was purely by chance, merely driven by whim, to have some fun.

It was impossible for the information to have leaked in advance, which means—

Company Commander Zhou rattled a stack of manuscript papers: "Forget this place, which of your hideouts don’t we know about? I might as well tell you, among your shenanigans, being a hooligan is the least of it!"

Zhang Jian licked his lips, felt a moment of panic, then calmed down, leaned back, and said with his chin up: "I don’t know what you’re talking about, the Xu Family are capitalists, I went there today because their self-criticism wasn’t written properly, I was going to have a talk with them!"

Company Commander Zhou was taken aback: "You were caught in the act!"

Zhang Jian snickered: "Caught in the act? Who saw it? Surely you can’t just assert whatever you want, right? Have the Public Security officers arrived? Are there other witnesses? Without evidence, what’s the use of your rambling?"

Company Commander Zhou had never seen someone so shameless, he was shocked and enraged.

He just wanted to thrash this sanctimonious old bastard, and just as he stood up, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open.

Su Yuncheng was still wearing that woolen coat, he walked to Company Commander Zhou’s side, pressed on his shoulder to make him sit down.

Company Commander Zhou saw that it was Su Yuncheng who had arrived, and had no choice but to bite back his emotions and sit down with a huff of breath.

Zhang Jian glanced sidelong at Su Yuncheng, asking: "Kid, who exactly are you? I surely haven’t seen you in the Hei Province Military District."

Of course, he couldn’t possibly recognize everyone in the entire Hei Province Military District, but to make a company commander obey with just a look, at least a deputy battalion commander would be needed. Zhang Jian had made a point to remember such people, but Su Yuncheng was not in his memory.

Su Yuncheng had no intention of revealing his identity, but simply asked: "What did you do on the night of December 6th, 1974?"

Zhang Jian looked baffled: "I can’t even remember what I did last week, and you’re asking me about something a year and a half ago?"

Su Yuncheng’s expression was cold, and he slowly uttered three words: "Sun Qingfen."

"Who?" Zhang Jian still couldn’t remember.

"Sun Qingfen, born in ’57, on December 6th, 1974, she was beaten to death by you while contracting land." Su Yuncheng said each word distinctly, "Zhang Jian, have you really forgotten all the people who have died by your hand?"

Zhang Jian’s eyes flickered, as if a long-buried memory had finally been awakened.

However, he only hesitated for a moment then shook his head, still composed: "I don’t know what you’re talking about, contracting land? That godforsaken place isn’t even accessible by car, why would I go?"

After a pause, he continued, tapping on the table: "And who is this Sun Qingfen? What contributions has she made? You’re detaining me for such an insignificant person? Do you have any idea how much this will delay my work?"

Company Commander Zhou felt such a seething irritation, yet because Su Yuncheng was right beside him, he dared not lash out.

He had a guess about where this information had come from, and he believed in its truth.

He just felt heartbroken—she was a living person, a seventeen-year-old girl killed brutally in the snow; how painful, how cold must it have been.

"Even if you don’t have a daughter, don’t you have a mother?" Company Commander Zhou couldn’t help but speak out, glaring at Zhang Jian with reddened eyes.

Zhang Jian spread his hands: "I, of course, cherish my mother, but how can I be responsible for such irrelevant people? How many people die each year, should I comfort them one by one?"

He looked at Su Yuncheng impatiently: "Moreover, I’d like to emphasize once more, you have no right to interrogate me! If you don’t release me now, I will..."

Before Zhang Jian could finish his "I will", Su Yuncheng took out a work ID.

On the work ID, the words "ZY Security Department" were solemn and dignified.

For once, a surge of panic filled Zhang Jian’s eyes.
