Chapter 320: Conspiracy (2)
"Name: Zhang Qin Feng. 21, local from Suihe City. Married to Wang Yufei, also local from Suihe City's Wang Family. A businessman and acting captain for Tianhe Special Squadron."
"And you were even granted a First-Grade Honorary Citizenship from Democratic Country of Marianna? Wow… How did you do that?" the interrogator shifted his gaze from the folder in his hand to Zhang Qin Feng with an expression full of surprise.
"Won't it be easier to use the money you have to do what you like? What motivates you to kill four people on the same day the moment you come into this rural town? Do you like… Have a beef with these people?" the interrogator commented as he placed the file down on the table.
Currently, Zhang Qin Feng was seated on an uncomfortable, steel-frame chair without cushioning on the seats. The handcuff was still on his hand, restricting him from moving away from the table. And except for the shirt and jeans he's wearing, everything else was confiscated from him.
"How come the number of dead people increases from one to four? This is not making any sense. Did you mistaken other people's death with my case, Mr. Interrogator?" Zhang Qin Feng replied with a puzzling expression.
He felt a little vexing as all his communication devices with the outside world were taken away. Although he can replace them with what he had in is Dimensional Storage, it would be unwise to do it now.
The four CCTV above his head would detect it instantly if he tried to pull this trick.
"I'm sure of it, Mr. Businessman. Three deaths inside the District office and the representative inside the hotel room, and that's four deaths, altogether." the interrogator's following sentence made Zhang Qin Feng look at him with a face in shock.
Feeling that he should keep pushing on this matter, the interrogator continued.
"The death of the three clerks was twenty minutes earlier than the representative. All the CCTV recordings from the street and the hotel clarify our suspicion that you're the one killing all of them." the interrogator said.
His word made Zhang Qin Feng feel that it was difficult for him to try and argue right now, especially when he had no evidence in his hands. Furthermore, the police department had all the CCTV recordings of where he went.
While he knew that it would be difficult for him to get rid of the representative death's suspicion, how could he know that the three female clerks were also tied to his account? The problem got more troublesome as the time was coincidently at the time he left the District Office.
This made Zhang Qin Feng suspected he was already in his enemies' monitoring when he drove into this seaside town.
"Why are you getting speechless right now? If you're the one that did this, better come clean with us, and we might consider letting you off from the death penalty. But you'll likely be sentenced to life imprisonment.
The interrogator's words were ruthless. But in fact, he was somewhat afraid of Zhang Qin Feng's status as the honorary citizenship given by Marianna Government. With that status alone, he could easily have the country strongly demand the handling of court cases over to Marianna's Court's jurisdiction.
In the worst-case scenario, this would escalate into a war between two countries if this matter weren't handled properly.
"Stein. I want you to study his facial expression and attitude. Check if he's clean or another corrupted officer." Zhang Qin Feng instructed the system on what to do. In the meantime, he'll remain silent unless he has something to add.
The interrogation lasted for 90 minutes before they escorted him back to the temporary holding cell. Throughout the session, the interrogator was quite hostile at Zhang Qin Feng in all his questions.
Although Zhang Qin Feng was harshly interrogated, the hostility he was shown doesn't seem to conflict with his expression and thoughts.
This means the interrogator's word can be trusted. Still, the possibility of him being manipulated is highly probably by the one controlling the string. And throughout the session, Zhang Qin Feng has only spoken less than thirty words.
…
…
"What are you doing? Don't you know we shouldn't be meeting each other right now?" a female spoke as she approached another individual waiting for her.
Although her real identity was a secret, she was, in fact, the female clerk that gave Zhang Qin Feng the representative in the afternoon. It was unknown what exactly transpired behind the cases of three female clerks was murdered inside the office.
While the mysterious individual standing in front of her was a foreigner in a set of expensive suits. It seems that the two of them collaborated to shift the blame at Zhang Qin Feng, getting him captured and thrown into the holding cell.
"The union has a new instruction for you. Infiltrate the Wind Base International Tourism and extract as much information as you can. You're free to use any method to accomplish this mission." the foreigner said.
"You know the drill. 30% Deposit, 30% for Intel, and 40% before handover." the female clerk said.
"Of course. This is your 30% deposit for the work. Try to deliver as soon as possible," the foreigner said before handing her an envelope.
"Remember, the police station can only keep this Zhang Qin Feng for 48 hours before releasing him due to the lack of evidence. No matter success or failure, you'll have to pull out before it is too late to escape," the foreigner added.
"I know my responsibilities, and you just need to make sure there's no mistake from your side." said the female clerk. After she stuffed the envelope inside her trench coat, she's preparing to leave.
"Hehehe… Zhang Qin Feng… You'll be no use for the Pacific Union once we get all the secrets behind your development team." the foreigner chuckled as he left.
As for the female clerk…
She gently massaged her face as more wrinkles started to slowly appear around her chin, cheek, forehead, and eyes. Soon, she looked like she had taken off a layer of skin from her face.
And using what she had on her cosmetic table, she redoes the makeup on her face until it looks like someone close to Zhang Qin Feng. To ensure she could complete this mission, this mysterious female didn't hesitate to use Wang Yufei's appearance.
