Chapter 6: Someone Upstairs Can Get Things Done

Wang Suwen actually started to sow discord and division. Is it necessary? Du Long cursed inwardly. Seeing Yang Chengfa awkwardly looking out the window, Du Long understood that this matter was probably not related to him. After a moment's thought, Du Long said, "Comrade Instructor, I will follow the organization's arrangements. If the organization points east, I absolutely won't go west. However, shouldn't the organization give us young people more opportunities to train? Liu Laohu and Shuiyu haven't confessed yet, right? Let Feng Weiwo and me try. Even if we don't get anything out of them, it will give us more experience in dealing with such habitual criminals, won't it?"

Du Long's words made Wang Suwen hesitate. He looked at Yang Chengfa, who said, "Let them try. With me here to supervise, there shouldn't be any problems."

Wang Suwen said, "Alright, you can have half an hour with each suspect. Yang and I will be present during the interrogation. Think carefully about what you want to ask. I'll go find Director Liao to arrange it for you."

After Wang Suwen left, Feng Weiwo angrily said, "This is too much. Director Yang, this isn't your idea, is it?"

Yang Chengfa usually led them more often, and Feng Weiwo was more familiar with him. Yang Chengfa sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect it to turn out this way. I should have let you participate in the interrogation last night. Sigh, our police station doesn't have many major cases. It's a waste of talent. Wang is trying to use this to get a promotion..."

"Damn it, if he wants a promotion, he should go out and catch criminals himself. Why should he steal our credit?" Feng Weiwo said angrily.

Yang Chengfa tried to console him, "Feng, don't be so agitated. This kind of thing happens a lot, and it's the same everywhere. Even with talent, you can be bullied without a powerful backer. Consider this a lesson. Don't defy your superiors in the future, or you'll suffer. Du is better at this, knowing when to yield and when to stand firm. That's how you get ahead!"

Du Long smiled and said, "I don't have that kind of patience. I'm also frustrated. Director Yang, I need to ask clearly. If we make a breakthrough during the interrogation, whose credit will it be?"

Yang Chengfa said, "Whoever conducts the interrogation gets the credit. But those two are like stones in a latrine—stinky and hard. Ordinary interrogation methods won't work on them. You're not thinking of roughing them up, are you? It won't help. If you go too light, it won't have any effect. If you go too hard, it could cause problems. Watch how I interrogate them. Consider it a lesson."

Du Long shook his head and said, "No, Director Yang. I want to discuss with Brother Feng and use some unconventional methods to interrogate them. Maybe we'll get unexpected results? Brother Feng, what do you think? Why don't we take a chance and win back the credit?"

Feng Weiwo also felt that it was better to take a chance than to just 'listen to a lesson.' Du Long's confidence gave him a strong sense of assurance. Feng Weiwo nodded vigorously.

Du Long and Feng Weiwo whispered for a while. No one knew what Du Long said to Feng Weiwo, but Feng Weiwo's face soon showed a confident smile.

Finally, Wang Suwen returned. He and Yang Chengfa led Du Long and Feng Weiwo into the interrogation room where Shuiyu was being held. Du Long and Wang Suwen sat in the center of the interrogation table, while Wang Suwen and Yang Chengfa sat to the side.

Shuiyu noticed the change and raised his gaze to look at Du Long and Feng Weiwo carefully. A flash of disdain appeared in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his gaze.

While observing Du Long and Feng Weiwo, Du Long was also observing him. This guy, Shuiyu, had a shaved head, wore a gaudy shirt, and had deliberately torn his jeans to show off. He looked like a troublemaker, clearly not a good person.

"Alright, the interrogation begins," Feng Weiwo said formally, holding a pen and notebook. "Name?"

Shuiyu answered the questions honestly, but his honesty was feigned. None of his answers were true.

As Shuiyu was casually responding, a sudden flash of light startled him. He looked at Du Long, who was taking photos of him with his phone. Shuiyu said, "Officer, haven't you already taken photos? Are you planning to post them online? Without my permission, that's an infringement of my right to my image..."

Du Long smiled and said, "You know your rights well. Don't worry, I wouldn't bother putting your ugly face on my blog. To be honest, I've already sent your photo to a friend. He's very resourceful and will quickly find out who you are."

Shuiyu snorted and said, "Officer, I've never been in trouble before. No matter how much you investigate, you won't find anything. Last night, I was forced into a situation and acted to avenge my friend. You're wasting your time. Are you going to detain me for fifteen days or charge me with assaulting an officer and lock me up for six months?"

Du Long smiled slightly and put down his phone. "Are you teaching us how to handle cases? Last night, I beat you and your four friends so badly. I have ways to deal with you!"

Shuiyu then realized that the young officer interrogating him was the one who had beaten them up so badly last night, causing him the greatest humiliation of his life. Even if he walked out safely, it would be a lifelong laughingstock. He looked at Du Long with venom in his eyes and said, "So it's you! Great, now I know who to sue!"

Du Long didn't take his threat seriously. He said in a teasing tone, "Don't worry, I'll give you the chance. Do you know? Our national crime information network is quite advanced. Your fingerprints and facial features will be sent out, and results will come back in a few minutes. However, since the system is used by all police nationwide, it might take a while through normal channels. I have connections, so it will take at most ten minutes. Just wait patiently."

"I have connections..." When Du Long said this, Wang Suwen's heart sank. In this era, having connections at the top makes things easier. The worst thing is to step on someone with connections. If Du Long was telling the truth, Wang Suwen would have to reconsider whether he should step on Du Long.

"I stand straight and fear no shadow. Your tricks won't work on me," Shuiyu said calmly, though he was inwardly shaken.

Feng Weiwo sneered, "You're a half-man, half-woman. Now we're too lazy to deal with you. Just wait and see you cry later."

Yang Chengfa didn't know if Du Long was telling the truth and didn't want to interrupt the interrogation, which is a big taboo. It could ruin the opportunity if the criminal regained his composure.

Du Long placed his phone in front of him and stared at Shuiyu calmly. The faint smile on his lips made Shuiyu increasingly nervous, and he started to sweat.

Time passed minute by minute. Suddenly, Du Long's phone on the table buzzed, and a sweet, cute girl's voice said, "Dad, you have a message! Check it quickly!"

Du Long picked up his phone, glanced at the message, and then handed it to Yang Chengfa. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "You are You Yucai! You are a wanted fugitive in Dongshan Province, with two murders on your record. Now that we've caught you, what do you have to say?"

Shuiyu—You Yucai—jumped up, staring at Du Long in shock. He screamed, "This is impossible! How could you find out my real name? This is impossible!"

Du Long sneered, "Don't think that getting a nose job in Shenzhen and shaving your head will make you unrecognizable. Five years ago, you got into an argument in Northeast China and killed two people, then fled. You are a second-level wanted criminal in Northeast China. Your identity has been fully verified. You know the law, so it's best to start confessing now to claim self-surrender. Otherwise, you will face severe legal punishment!"

You Yucai's only defense was that no one knew his true identity or his criminal record. But this last line of defense was easily shattered by Du Long. His psychological defenses collapsed, and the subsequent interrogation became much easier. You Yucai confessed to all the crimes he had committed over the years and even implicated many other criminals and criminal activities.

"You Yucai, is there anything else you want to confess?" Feng Weiwo asked energetically.
