Chapter 838 Song Jun identifies Li Yang, Li Yang is arrested
“Song Jun, we know your mother’s illness has been a great burden for you. Treatment requires a lot of money, and we understand that.” Qin Chuan broke the silence first, his voice steady yet gentle, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. Upon hearing about his mother, Song Jun’s body trembled slightly, a hint of pain and helplessness flashing in his eyes, but he remained silent.
"Your mother's medical expenses have recently been settled, but the money came from very suspicious sources," Qin Chuan continued, his eyes fixed on Song Jun's reaction. "You should know what it means that at this time, money of unknown origin has entered your life, and it's happening around the same time as the chemical plant explosion we're investigating."
Song Jun bit his lip, his hands clenching unconsciously, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "I...I really don't know what to say." His voice was hoarse and trembling slightly.
“Song Jun, it’s better for you and your mother to be honest now. If you continue to hide it, once things are exposed, you won’t be able to save your mother, and you’ll leave her without anyone to rely on,” Qin Chuan said earnestly. “We’ve already gathered some clues. If you don’t speak now, it will be too late.”
Song Jun raised his head, his eyes filled with struggle and fear, tears welling up in his eyes. "I... I had no choice. Someone gave me a large sum of money, saying that as long as I did something on the night of the incident, I could save my mother." He finally spoke, his voice trembling with sobs.
"What for? Who gave you the money?" Qin Chuan pressed, his eyes piercing.
"They told me to let a white van through while I was on duty, and to ignore the commotion at the warehouse. I... I really don't know what they're up to. I just want to save my mom." Song Jun broke down in tears, burying his face in his hands.
"What does the person who gave you the money look like? How did you contact him?" Qin Chuan continued to press, not letting any detail slip by.
Under Qin Chuan's interrogation, Song Jun confessed to many crucial details. He mentioned that each time he contacted the person behind the scenes, it was through a specific phone number. When the police followed this lead further, they discovered that the number belonged to Li Yang's brother-in-law, Zhang Feng. Upon learning this, Qin Chuan decisively ordered: "Arrest Zhang Feng immediately and bring him back to the police station. This is a crucial step in solving the mystery."
The task force acted swiftly and arrested Zhang Feng at his home. When Zhang Feng was brought into the interrogation room, he was furious and shouted, "Why are you arresting me? What law have I broken?" Li Ming and another experienced interrogator entered the interrogation room, ignored Zhang Feng's shouts, and sat down opposite him with cold expressions.
Li Ming spoke first: "Zhang Feng, don't play dumb. Since we've arrested you, we have enough evidence. What exactly is your connection to the Northern Chemical Plant explosion?" Zhang Feng's eyes widened, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Chemical plant explosion? What does that have to do with me? You must have made a mistake." A hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but he continued to resist desperately.
The interrogator sneered, "Song Jun has already confessed. You were the one who contacted him and arranged everything. You gave him money to let the white van pass on the night of the incident and to turn a blind eye to the unusual situation in the warehouse. Are you still trying to deny it?" Upon hearing Song Jun's name, Zhang Feng's body trembled slightly, and the color drained from his face instantly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "He's talking nonsense. I don't know him at all."
Li Ming calmly took out the call log and placed it in front of Zhang Feng: "This is your call log with Song Jun. The time and duration of the call are clear. Are you still going to keep denying it?" Zhang Feng looked at the evidence on the table, his hands unconsciously clenched, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still tried to argue: "So what if there is a call log? We might just be chatting as ordinary friends."
The interrogator intensified the interrogation, saying sternly, "Zhang Feng, your current attitude is very detrimental to you. We have already gathered a large amount of evidence. If you continue to resist, you will only face more serious consequences. You'd better confess honestly and try to get leniency." Zhang Feng's eyes began to flicker, and his inner defenses gradually crumbled. He lowered his head, stopped speaking, and kept twisting the hem of his clothes with his hands.
Li Ming softened his tone and said, "Zhang Feng, if you confess now, you can still buy yourself some chances. If we wait until we present all the evidence to you, it will be too late. Think about your family. What will they do if you are severely punished for this?" Zhang Feng's body trembled, and helplessness appeared in his eyes. He raised his head, his voice trembling with sobs, "I'll talk, I'll talk... It was my brother-in-law, Li Yang, who made me do it. His conflict with Zhao Qiang over the factory is getting worse, and Zhao Qiang is also having an improper relationship with my sister. He can't swallow this, so he wants to teach Zhao Qiang a lesson."
"Tell me the details, how did you plan this?" Li Ming pressed. Zhang Feng took a deep breath and slowly said, "My brother-in-law gave me some money and asked me to find someone to cause some chaos at the factory. I found Song Jun; his mother was sick and urgently needed money, so I used that to lure him. I asked him to let the van delivering contraband pass on the night of the incident, and then detonate the pre-prepared explosives. Originally, I just wanted to scare Zhao Qiang, but I didn't expect it to result in a death..."
After gathering sufficient evidence, the police swiftly arrested Li Yang. When Li Yang was brought into the interrogation room, his face was grim, and his eyes revealed a hint of resentment. Li Ming and Qin Chuan sat opposite him, their gazes piercing.
“Li Yang, now that you’re here, you should understand why we arrested you.” Qin Chuan spoke first, his voice steady and powerful, carrying an undeniable authority. Li Yang snorted coldly, turning his head away, still trying to maintain his last bit of stubbornness.
Li Ming slammed a stack of evidence heavily on the table. "This evidence is enough to prove that you are inextricably linked to the explosion at the Northern Chemical Plant and the death of Zhao Qiang. Zhang Feng has already confessed that you instructed him to plan all of this." Upon hearing Zhang Feng's name, Li Yang's body trembled slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched, but he still tried to remain calm.
"Hmph, if you have evidence, just sentence me directly. Why are you asking me?" Li Yang said disdainfully, but a hint of guilt was already showing in his voice.
Qin Chuan leaned forward, staring intently into Li Yang's eyes. "We want to hear you tell us the whole story yourself. This is your last chance. Confess, and perhaps we can get a lighter sentence." Li Yang remained silent for a long time, his hands clenching unconsciously, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead. Finally, he sighed and gave up resisting.
The investigation of the case has finally made great progress, and Qin Chuan is pressing his advantage!
