Chapter 449 An Interrogation
Anyway, the scene had a festive holiday atmosphere, but little by little, Ding Ning’s face darkened.
“What the fu*k is going on? Neither the certificate of the criminal police team nor the certificate of the National Security Bureau is useful. I’m so depressed.” Ding Ning sighed in his heart.
“It seems that I can only call Xu Minglu and let him go to get me out of the police station.”
“After all, resisting arrest and assaulting police officers in public are not good to my image. If news of this gets out, it will ruin my reputation. I can go to the police station with Wang Bailang. It’s no big deal. Meanwhile, I can see what tricks he is capable of playing.”
“Handcuff him and take him away. This guy is addicted to making fake certificates.” Wang Bailang ordered.
Wang Bailang didn’t even cast a glance at the so-called National Security Bureau certificate. Contemptuously, he thought in his heart, “Boy, do you think I’m an idiot? You make yourself the advisor of both the criminal police team and the National Security Bureau. What a d*mn good imagination you have! You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“I can go back with you without these handcuffs.”
Though reluctantly, Ding Ning tried to negotiate with Wang Bailang.
“No, you are a ruthless and dangerous criminal, so you must wear handcuffs.”
Wang Bailang said, his mouth corners showing a slight sneer. He thought to himself, “You hit my son and dared to fool me. Still, you don’t want me to handcuff you. Who do you think you are?”
“Oh! Okay!”
Ding Ning nodded as if he had come to understand suddenly. Obediently, he reached out and cooperated with the police in handcuffing him. But then, he exerted a little strength. “Clang!” With a clear sound, the handcuffs were broken and fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned and was staring at Ding Ning, who spread his hands and said innocently, “This pair of handcuffs must be fake, which are not of good quality.”
“Handcuff him. Handcuff him again! I simply don’t believe that.”
Wang Bailang yelled with a frenzy of rage.
“Click!”
They put another pair of handcuffs on Ding Ning, but unfortunately, the quality of this pair was still not good.
Then, the third pair, the fourth pair... and the seventh pair!
No matter how stupid these people around were, they could tell that something was wrong. Now they looked at Ding Ning in great horror as if they had seen a ghost.
Big droplets of sweat were welling up on Wang Bailang’s forehead. He swallowed and asked, his lips trembling, “You, you... Who are you?”
“I am a fake-certificate maker.”
With an innocent expression, Ding Ning answered and stretched out his hands. It looked that he was very cooperative.
Zhao Chenxi covered her mouth and laughed, wildly rolling her big eyes. Although she knew that Ding Ning had extraordinary skills, she did not expect him to be so powerful.
Nevertheless, she wouldn’t feel as incredible as others. After all, the Zhao Family also had warriors.
Wang Bailang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and his throat went up and down violently. “What should I do now? This person is extremely dangerous. I am not sure what will happen if I bring him back to the police station.”
But when he thought of his son, who was seriously injured, he suddenly burst into anger. “Even kungfu fighters fear blades. I have guns. Why should I fear him?”
He subconsciously touched the gun on his waist and said with a stern face, “Then, go to the police station with us.”
“Okay, you drive and wait for me at the gate.” Ding Ning told Zhao Chenxi.
Ding Ning generously agreed, turned around, and gave the car keys to Zhao Chenxi. He could not rest assured if she was left outside alone. Seeing that Zhao Chenxi got on the Toyota Prado, he arched his back and got into the police car.
In the car, Zhao Chenxi saw the clothes that Ding Ning brought for her. Her pretty face flushed, and her beautiful eyes flickered with emotion. Without delay, she put them on.
In the interrogation room of the Bailong Police Station, Ding Ning sat lazily on the interrogation chair. He had already sent a text message to Xu Minglu on the way.
“Name?”
“Ding Ning.”
“Age?”
“22 years old!”
“Gender?”
“Male!”
...
Sitting in front of the interrogation desk were two policemen, one tall and one short, who were in charge of the interrogation. None of them had appeared on the scene before, and Ding Ning responded very cooperatively.
As for Wang Bailang, he had already rushed to the hospital to see his precious son.
The two policemen were in their thirties and looked decent, but Ding Ning noticed a touch of chill hidden deep in their eyes.
It was noteworthy that after they asked the questions, they only recorded the information that was good for Wang Kui. As for the information that would harm Wang Kui, they wouldn’t record it at all. They didn’t even open the surveillance camera in this room.
“Sign it!”
The tall policeman’s eyes glistened with maliciousness. His name was Liu Wei. Of course, he was very clear who Wang Kui was. Since Ding Ning hit their director’s son with his car, he should certainly revenge for Wang Kui to show off his ability before Wang Bailang.
“Sign my name? What have you recorded? It says that there is enmity between Wang Kui and me, so I wanted to hit him to death by my car. I suppose that you can directly say that I wanted to kill him.”
Ding Ning leaned forward and threw the record of the interrogation onto the table. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes flashed with coldness. At the same time, the anger in his chest was gradually rising. He inferred from the record that Wang Bailang must have always been acting in utter disregard of law and discipline.
“Boy, I advise you to behave yourself and sign it.”
Liu Wei ordered with a cold smile. His eyes widened as he slammed violently onto the table.
“What if I refuse to sign it?”
Ding Ning replied with a casual air, lowering his eyelids.
“Refuse to sign?”
Liu Wei asked, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. “It doesn’t matter whether you will sign it or not. You just have to undergo many sufferings of flesh.”
While curling up the corner of his mouth, Ding Ning looked at him and said, “You don’t get along well with your colleagues, right?”
“Boy, what bullshit are you talking about? What do you mean?”
Liu Wei asked with a somber expression because Ding Ning’s words touched him on his most sensitive spot.
What Ding Ning said was true. He was busy currying favor with Wang Bailang all day long. Because he always sucked up to Wang Bailang unscrupulously and was a credit grabber, even those people who were on Wang Bailang’s side didn’t like him.
“Then, it’s no wonder that your colleagues haven’t told you not to mess with me so easily,” said Ding Ning.
Ding Ning knew it. Liu Wei had a handsome appearance, but he had such thin lips and shifty eyes. Only after a glance, Ding Ning could tell that he should be this kind of people who treated others harshly and gave rare generosity. Perhaps, even Wang Bailang didn’t like him.
“Boy, don’t you know what this place is? Don’t give me this hippie smile. Sign it quickly.”
Liu Wei urged, frightened and uncertain. However, he felt suspicious deep down. Since he was on duty today, he didn’t go out to the scene to deal with this matter. After Ding Ning was brought back, he immediately volunteered to handle this case when he learned of the situation.
However, surprisingly, those guys who usually liked to compete with him didn’t even try to win over this case. They agreed gladly and quickly, which made Liu Wei wonder for a long time. After all, it was a case about Director Wang’s son, who was severely hit by Ding Ning. In Liu Wei’s eyes, if he did this case right, Director Wang would surely approve of him in his heart. But when Liu Wei thought of the whole process now, he found that there seemed to be something fishy behind it.
When Zheng Bin, the short policeman, was pondering, his eyes flickered. He was not on Wang Bailang’s side. He was brought here only to make up enough people to perform the interrogation. At the trial, it was Liu Wei who played the dominant role. Though Zheng Bin also couldn’t bear the sight of some people’s actions, he was just a little policeman. What else could he do?
“I won’t sign it.”
Ding Ning said carelessly, crossing his leg.
“Boy, do you really want to do it in a hard way? If I don’t teach you a lesson, you have no idea what I’m capable of.”
Ding Ning’s non-violent and non-cooperation attitude utterly irritated Liu Wei. Abruptly, he shot up from his chair and walked up to Ding Ning with a ferocious smile.
“Liu Wei, what will you do?”
Zheng Bin’s eyes glistened, and he shouted out his question.
“What do you think I will do?”
Liu Wei froze a little and said unhappily.
Although Zheng Bin was not on the same side with them, he always looked on their actions coldly as a bystander. He would neither support nor oppose them. “What happened to him today? What’s wrong with him?” Liu Wei was confused.
“It is illegal to torture him secretly. If you force him to sign it, this paper will have no legal validity.”
Zheng Bin said coldly.
“Zheng Bin, are you out of your mind?”
Liu Wei’s face fell, and he continued, “Don’t be a fu*king busybody.”
“Okay, I don’t care. I quit. I am no longer in this case. You alone will be in charge of it,” declared Zheng Bin.
Zheng Bin felt that Ding Ning was a little different from ordinary people, but he didn’t think Ding Ning could win Wang Bailang.
At present, Zheng Bin could only try his best to keep himself out of trouble. He knew that he didn’t have the basic strength and confidence to fight against Wang Bailang. Thus, he had no choice but to stand up and leave—out of sight, out of mind.
“Do whatever you want. I was trying to lend you a hand, but you seem to be a hopeless guy who doesn’t deserve my favor.”
Liu Wei sneered, staring at Zheng Bin’s back. According to the rule, at least two police officers should present at the interrogation. When Zheng Bin left, there would be him only. Thus, even if Ding Ning signed the paper, it was not by the procedure.
But so what? Many cases that they handled before didn’t follow the procedure. After Ding Ning signed, they could find someone to sign and fill all the blank part that Zheng Bin was supposed to write.
Zheng Bin paused a little, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. But finally, he pushed the door open and walked out. His hunch was always accurate. It seemed to him that Ding Ning was not an ordinary person.
“Boy, I give you one last chance. Will you sign it or not?” Liu Wei asked.
Wearing a ferocious smile, Liu Wei pulled out an electric baton and shook it in front of Ding Ning’s eyes. “Sizzle! Sizzle!” The high-voltage electric baton kept making the noise. It looked very scary.
“No!”
Ding Ning refused to sign it. Holding his arms, he remained unmoved.
“Then go ahead and enjoy it!” Liu Wei threatened.
A sick smile appeared on Liu Wei’s face, and he gave Ding Ning a hard poke with the electric baton in his hand.
“Ah!”
After a short and rapid scream, Liu Wei fell to the ground, his whole body twitching with pain. His electric baton also dropped to the ground.
Without turning a hair, Ding Ning sat on the chair and glanced at him with disdain. “What a piece of trash! He actually dared to torture me. I was mercy enough to spare his life.”
Half unconsciously, he glanced at the flowerpot at the corner. There installed a well-hidden camera. It seemed that this small police station was not a united whole.
In an office, a 30-year-old man with thick eyebrows, tiger-like mouth, and a Roman nose was sitting bolt upright on an office chair. He was looking at the scene in the interrogation room through the monitoring screen. When he saw Ding Ning’s glance, a surprise expression flashed across his eyes. “Does this guy find out the camera?”
This man was Liu Qiang, a former soldier. After retiring from the army, he was assigned to work at the Ninghai Municipal Police Bureau. However, because of his upright character, he offended his leader there and was diverted to the Bailong Police Station. Ten years passed quickly. He was still the deputy director of the Bailong Police Station.
In the past ten years, he worked conscientiously and hard. However, he had always been suppressed by Wang Bailang, who had the absolute power in the police station.
At first, Liu Qiang was still thinking about striking back against Wang Bailang. He had collected a lot of evidence of Wang Bailang’s evil deeds and reported it to the higher authorities. However, after merely telling him that he should pay attention to uniting with Wang Bailang, they told him to leave.
Later, some leaders invited Liu Qiang to have a talk. They specifically warned him that he should cooperate and work well with comrade Wang Bailang. More importantly, he was not allowed to report on the guilt of Director Wang again.
Only then did he realize that since Wang Bailang hadn’t been promoted or demoted during these years, he must have had a large network of relationships behind him. With this network, he managed to monopolize all the power of the Bailong Police Station for so many years.
Perhaps, it was not just a network of relationships but a large network of interest. Wang Bailang was very likely to be a key node of this network. Otherwise, with his background, he should have been promoted long ago. How could he still be a director of this small police station?
What kind of interest could keep Wang Bailang in the position of the director of the police station for more than ten years without any complain?
Liu Qiang was very interested in it. His professional sensitivity helped him realize that there might be an amazing secret hidden behind Wang Bailang. Since then, Liu Qiang kept clear of Wang Bailang and minded his own business only. Just like well water and river water, they went their own ways. But in fact, Liu Qiang had been investigating in secret the whole time.
When he was in the army, he was a scout, so installing surveillance was certainly a piece of cake to him. In secret, he installed a lot of surveillance cameras in the police station to monitor Wang Bailang’s each and every move.
However, Wang Bailang was extremely cautious when he did his business so that he rarely contacted the people behind him in his office. Thus, it was very hard for Liu Qiang to carry out his detective work, which was hence slowed down and reached an impasse. Moreover, the evidence he had was not enough to tear up this huge network.
The surveillance camera had been there for such a long time, unnoticed in the interrogation room. Ding Ning, who had great kungfu, was the first one to discover it, which greatly interested Liu Qiang.
“A very interesting man.” Liu Qiang thought, gazing thoughtfully at Ding Ning, who was smiling lightly. His instinct told him that perhaps this young man was someone extraordinary who might be able to help him in the future.
