Wang Yi was involved in a murder case. Although the case had not yet been concluded and he had not been tried, Wang Yi was not a free man at this time. He was temporarily detained in prison.
Captain Li, along with Han Fei and Xu Mo, arrived at the prison to allow Xu Mo to meet with Wang Yi.
To be honest, Captain Li didn’t believe that Xu Mo could get Wang Yi to reveal Wang Bo’s whereabouts.
After all, if Wang Yi confessed, he would face the death penalty.
A miserable life is better than a good death. Even though being locked up in prison meant living in darkness, it was still better than a death sentence, wasn’t it?
Unless Wang Yi had lost his mind, there was no way he would reveal Wang Bo’s whereabouts.
After the group set off for the prison, the local police station was abuzz with chatter.
“Do you think Xu Mo can really get Wang Yi to reveal Wang Bo’s whereabouts and solve this case?”
“How is that possible? It’s not even certain whether Wang Yi knows Wang Bo’s whereabouts. When we interrogated him before, he insisted that he didn’t know where his brother was. The idea that Wang Yi knows Wang Bo’s whereabouts is just speculation.”
“Exactly. And don’t forget, Wang Yi has been locked up in prison for a long time. He has no access to outside information. Maybe he knew Wang Bo’s whereabouts at first, but it’s been years now. Wang Bo is a living person—how could he stay hidden in the same place all this time?”
“That’s right. Wang Yi isn’t insane. He knows that revealing Wang Bo’s whereabouts wouldn’t benefit him in any way.”
“Unless we torture him to the point where he’d rather die than live, he might talk… but that’s against the rules.”
“…”
The officers were almost unanimous in their skepticism. None of them believed that Xu Mo could extract Wang Bo’s whereabouts from Wang Yi.
Xu Mo might be a genius at solving cases, but interrogation was a different matter altogether.
Especially since, if Wang Yi told the truth, he would face the death penalty. Unless he was ready to die, there was no way he would reveal his older brother’s location.
…
The group arrived at the prison by car.
There, they met Wang Yi.
Since the officers were there to investigate the case, the prison had prepared a small room for the meeting.
Both the officers and the prison guards were part of the law enforcement system, so they could be considered colleagues of a sort. As a result, when the officers met with Wang Yi, the prison guard didn’t watch them as closely as they would with other inmates. Instead, the guard stood outside the door of the small room.
There was another reason the guard didn’t enter the room: the officers were there to investigate the case, and the investigation process couldn’t be leaked or observed by outsiders.
Inside the small room, Wang Yi didn’t recognize Han Fei or Xu Mo, but he knew Captain Li.
He didn’t need to think hard to know why they were there, and he immediately adopted an impatient attitude.
“Why are you here again? I’ve told you so many times, I really don’t know where my brother is. It’s useless to come to me!”
“If you’re so capable, go catch my brother yourselves. Then you can sentence him however you want. Just stop bothering me, okay?”
After saying this, Wang Yi even called out to the prison guard outside the door: “Officer, I want to go back to my cell.”
The guard opened the door and glanced inside. Seeing nothing unusual and receiving reassuring looks from the officers, the guard closed the door again without paying any attention to Wang Yi.
Seeing this, Captain Li whispered to Han Fei and Xu Mo,
“This guy is a tough nut to crack. No matter how you ask him, he won’t talk. We’ve suspected for a while that he knows his brother Wang Bo’s whereabouts, and we’ve come to question him many times, but he just won’t say anything… There’s no point in questioning him.”
Captain Li wanted to persuade the two to give up on Wang Yi as a lead and focus on other avenues of investigation.
The main reason was that Wang Yi’s lips were sealed tight. No matter how they questioned him, he wouldn’t talk. Torture might have worked, but that was illegal.
Han Fei didn’t say anything, just glanced at Xu Mo.
Captain Li didn’t know Xu Mo’s abilities, but Han Fei did—he had seen them in action many times.
Not talking? That wasn’t an option!
No matter how tight-lipped a suspect was, they would confess under Xu Mo’s interrogation. There were no exceptions.
Captain Li had underestimated Xu Mo’s abilities… Han Fei thought to himself.
“You know where your brother Wang Bo is, don’t you?” Xu Mo asked, staring directly into Wang Yi’s eyes.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. Whether someone is lying or not can be seen through their eyes.
No matter how well they try to hide it, there will always be some tell in their gaze.
Xu Mo’s plan was simple: if Wang Yi truly didn’t know Wang Bo’s whereabouts, he would leave immediately, as there was no point in wasting time.
But if Wang Yi did know, he would administer a truth serum.
Under the influence of the serum, Wang Yi’s lips would loosen, and he would tell the truth.
“I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know! Officer, I really don’t know. No matter how many times you ask me, it’s useless.”
Although Wang Yi vehemently denied it, the officers could see from his expression and eyes that he was lying. They were professionals; detecting a lie was second nature to them.
Captain Li sighed.
He was a seasoned detective, and of course, he could tell that Wang Yi was most likely lying. But what good did that do? Knowing Wang Yi was lying didn’t help them if he refused to talk. They couldn’t just resort to torture, could they?
This might work. It seems Wang Yi really knows Wang Bo’s whereabouts! Xu Mo thought, then walked over to Wang Yi.
“Captain Xu…” Captain Li, seeing Xu Mo get up and approach Wang Yi, wanted to remind him to be careful and not resort to force, but Han Fei stopped him.
“Captain Li, don’t worry. Captain Xu has his own unique interrogation methods. Just watch.”
Han Fei looked completely at ease, which puzzled Captain Li.
Unique interrogation methods? How unique could they be? Could they really make this tough nut talk?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Xu Mo had already reached Wang Yi and gently patted him on the shoulder.
The next second, Xu Mo stared at Wang Yi with a piercing gaze, as if threatening him.
“Where is your brother Wang Bo?”
As soon as the words left Xu Mo’s mouth, Captain Li frowned. Was glaring and threatening Xu Mo’s so-called unique interrogation method?
There’s no way that would work!
Wang Yi wasn’t someone who could be easily intimidated!
But to Captain Li’s surprise, under Xu Mo’s intense gaze, Wang Yi actually confessed!
“Under the big willow tree behind my old house.”
“Under the willow tree? Did you kill him?”
“Yes.”
Captain Li: “???”
Witnessing this firsthand, Captain Li was completely stunned.
What the hell? Wang Yi confessed?!
He killed his own brother Wang Bo?!
And buried him under the willow tree at his old house?!
