Chapter 193 - Please Teach Us!
Captain Wu swiftly apprehended the suspect and closed the case.
The suspects were in disbelief when they heard that one of their own had turned on them.
“There's no way that's true!”
“You're not going to drive a wedge between us that easily!”
“We all know Old Wang. He would never betray us.”
Seated in his car, Captain Wu couldn't help but chuckle at the conversation unfolding among the men in the back.
“Believe it or not, we've uncovered your hiding spot for the jewels—in the sewer, just a stone's throw from the jewelry store.”
The suspects were visibly shocked by Captain Wu's revelation.
The hiding place was incredibly secretive.
Only they knew about it; it was unthinkable that anyone else could have discovered it!
Could Wang Hu really have sold them out?
But Wang Hu had been in custody for days; it was inconceivable that he'd betray them now!
“Stop trying to fool us.”
“Without evidence of our crimes, we're innocent!”
In the past, such a situation would have vexed Captain Wu. Now, he sat back, humming a tune, thinking to himself, “Just wait until Mr. Su has a word with you. You'll all be singing like canaries.”
Before long, all the suspects were escorted to the police station, tight-lipped as ever.
Then Su Ming made his entrance.
All eyes in the conference room were glued to the large screen, where every officer had taken a seat.
“Mr. Su's interrogation techniques are state-of-the-art. You'd all do well to pay close attention,” Minister Chen announced. “I'll arrange for Mr. Su to give you a class on it soon.”
“Yes, sir!”
The officers were brimming with curiosity. The buzz had reached them: a young man had managed to extract a confession from a hardened criminal, using methods they had never encountered before. Their attention was riveted to the screen.
Su Ming entered the interrogation room at a measured pace.
“Mr. Su, I've isolated them to prevent any collusion. You can interrogate them one by one,” Captain Wu suggested.
“That won't be necessary. Keep them together,” Su Ming replied with a calm, assured smile.
Captain Wu felt a twinge of concern.
“Just follow Mr. Su's instructions,” Director-general Zhang interjected.
Soon after, the five suspects, Wang Hu among them, were seated together.
“Old Wang, is it true? Did you betray us?”
“Man, how could you be so unreliable?”
Upon seeing Wang Hu, the remaining criminals immediately began to barrage him with questions, having already witnessed the interrogation footage. This tactic aimed to shatter their psychological defenses.
Wang Hu felt despondent. “I really don't want to talk. I'm just as clueless,” he lamented.
“You're utterly useless. We'd never spill the beans!” they retorted, regarding Wang Hu with scorn.
At that moment, Su Ming stood before him, recounting tales of his past and even delving into wheat cultivation techniques of all things. The criminals simply shut their eyes.
Then, a familiar voice cut through the silence. “Were you behind this robbery?” Su Ming inquired, his tone detached.
“Yes!” came the unanimous response from the five men.
All but Wang Hu were taken aback. Why had Wang Hu suddenly embraced honesty? This wasn't part of the plan. The script had taken an unexpected turn.
“Did you stash the jewels in the sewer?”
“Yes!”
“Do you admit to your crimes?”
“Yes!”
Su Ming, hands clasped behind his back, posed question after question, each met with prompt admission from the quintet.
The police officers in the conference room were dumbfounded, scarcely daring to breathe, their eyes wide with astonishment. Even Minister Chen, Director-general Zhang, and Captain Wu, seasoned as they were, found themselves staggered by the scene.
Su Ming's influence was undeniable. The five criminals were remarkably compliant before him, candidly answering every query.
What was Su Ming's secret? Some entertained the outlandish notion that he might have conspired with the criminals, but such an idea was patently absurd. No other explanation seemed plausible.
The interrogation, lasting a mere half-hour, concluded with the criminals fully disclosing their misdeeds. They detailed their scheme, the timing, the tools used, their accomplices, and even confessed to past transgressions that had remained hidden.
As the interrogation wrapped up and the live feed ceased, the officers in the conference room remained rooted in place, the impact of what they'd witnessed beyond words. These were seasoned officers, well-trained and experienced. Yet, they had never encountered an interrogation technique so unorthodox, nor so remarkably effective.
Before long, Su Ming entered the conference room.
“Stand up!”
Minister Chen's voice thundered suddenly, prompting every officer to rise in perfect sync.
“Applaud!”
The officers clapped fervently, the sound echoing their collective tension.
This case had weighed heavily on them, a puzzle that had stumped even the most seasoned detectives, yet it was Mr. Su who had cracked it using an astonishing approach!
Mr. Su's technique was something they all could learn from.
“Mr. Su, you're truly remarkable. I must ask a favor of you, and you simply must agree…”
Minister Chen's face flushed with excitement: “The interrogation method you employed was incredible. Could you possibly teach us?”
Su Ming found himself in a quandary.
Truth be told, he was quite embarrassed.
He had no knowledge of interrogation techniques.
But he did have the System.
And he had the Truth Pill.
That's how he got those five to confess their crimes.
Seeing the eager look in Minister Chen's eyes, Su Ming found it hard to say no.
Reluctantly, he decided to acquiesce.
After all, the life of a police officer was no easy calling.
