Chapter Thirty-One: Obtaining a Confession by Unscrupulous Means

  The second update is here! Shamelessly asking for collection and recommendation! Your collection and recommendation are the best support for my writing! Thank you everyone!

  The Public Security Bureau of Tonghe County is located on People's East Road, not far from the Procuratorate of Tonghe County. It's a bit far from the county committee compound, and it takes about half an hour to walk there. Yang Jie was at the gate of the county committee compound and hailed a motorcycle taxi, heading straight for the Public Security Bureau.

  The entrance of the Public Security Brigade was bustling with people coming and going, some were caught for gathering to gamble or fighting and other violations of public security regulations, most of whom were punished by the Public Security Brigade. Yang Jie rode his motorcycle to the entrance of the Public Security Brigade and happened to meet Deputy Brigade Commander Zhang Wei who was walking out of the main gate of the brigade.

  Just as Zhang Wei was about to get on a police van with several other security guards, he suddenly saw Yang Jie getting off a motorcycle and smiled slightly, rushing forward to pay the one-yuan fare for Yang.

  "Comrade Yang, it's been a long time! Welcome, welcome! Is there something you need to take care of? Or is some friend of yours being taken away by the Public Security Bureau?" Zhang Wei asked warmly after shaking hands with Yang Jie.

  The Public Security Brigade, in addition to handling some public security cases, is also responsible for the approval of some special industries, as well as household registration and household examination and approval. In the various brigades of the Public Security Bureau, it is also an important department with significant power and authority, which is why Zhang Wei asked Yang Jie this way.

  "Captain Zhang is too polite! This time I came to find Captain Chen, not to do other things. Is Captain Chen in the team?" Yang Jie saw that Zhang Wei had given him the car fare and didn't take out any more money, so he smiled and thanked Zhang Wei before asking about Chen Yinglong.

  "The captain is resting in the office, last night caught a group of gamblers and another gang fighting, busy all night, just now Chengguan police station called again, said to catch some thieves, I have to go over immediately, if you have something, directly to the third floor captain's office. Zhang Wei saw Yang Jie was not here for business, smiled and explained a sentence, also did not ask more questions, hastily led people to leave the Public Security Bureau."

  "Captain Chen!" Yang Jie went up to the third floor, found Chen Yinglong's office, knocked on the door, and when no one answered, he pounded heavily on the door and shouted loudly.

  "Who is it!" Chen Yinglong opened the door from inside, was about to scold someone, but saw that it was Yang Jie standing at the door. His face changed in an instant, and he showed a smiling face. "It's actually Younger Brother Yang, I really didn't know you were coming, sorry about that, please come in quickly!"

  Chen Yinglong invited Yang Jie into his office, a simple folding bed was opened and placed in the middle of the office. Chen Yinglong quickly put the bed away and placed it behind the desk. "I'm really sorry to make you laugh, I was busy all night yesterday and only had time to rest after lunch."

  "The stability and security of the county are all thanks to your hard work as frontline police officers. You are the greatest contributors to the good public security situation in Xianghe County. Your achievements and efforts have been seen by everyone, and people will not forget those who silently contribute to social prosperity and stability. Brother Chen, you really are too tired."

  "We're just doing our job, why are you praising us so much? I don't know if you came here on business or for something else?" Chen Yinglong had been in the system for a long time and could hear the underlying meaning in Yang Jie's words. He smiled and poured Yang Jie a cup of water.

  "This time I came mainly for the matter of Deputy Captain Wang, Director Luo was taken away by the discipline inspection team at noon, and now the county is investigating the backstage manipulator of Jemson's arrest. Director Chen wants me to come over and see if we can get help from Captain Chen, best to obtain conclusive evidence of Wang Biao's illegal activities and find out the backstage manipulator of Jemson's arrest."

  The secretary has made up his mind to thoroughly investigate this matter. The county party committee held a secretary's office meeting in the morning, and not only was Luo Song put under double designation, but also Chen Jian, the manager of the Yuhe River Hotel, was put under double designation. In the afternoon, a standing committee meeting was held to discuss the serious disciplinary violations of the Public Security Bureau and the Yuhe River Hotel, as well as personnel issues in the two departments.

  If there is conclusive evidence that Jamieson was caught, it was Luo Song who instructed Wang Biao to do so. Then the secretary would have the initiative in the Standing Committee meeting, which would be of great help for the upcoming rectification and investigation of the Public Security Bureau and the Yuhe Hotel. Time was pressing, Yang Jie did not hesitate, and directly stated his intention. This matter involved the game between the Secretary and the County Magistrate, involving the issue of standing teams, Chen Yinglong was not a fool, and he naturally had his own thoughts on how to make a choice.

  "There are indeed some materials about Wang Biao's illegal activities here, but Wang Biao is Luo Bureau Chief's man. Not to mention me, even Yang Bureau Chief can't do anything to him. Some letters of accusation against Wang Biao, once they arrive at the bureau, sink like a stone in the ocean, without causing any ripples. Now that Luo Bureau Chief has been arrested, there's no one left to protect Wang Biao."

  "Yang, give me two hours and I'll definitely be able to get to the bottom of why Wang Biao was captured by Jamesson. Chen Yinglong's eyes flashed with a cold glint, he who had never gotten along with Wang Biao, made a promise to Yang Jie with a sharp edge."

  "Alright! Time is not waiting for anyone, the Standing Committee will convene before the end of work today. You go ahead and do it, don't have any worries, quickly get the evidence of Luo Song ordering Wang Biao to break the law. This matter shouldn't be blown out of proportion, after all, the arrest of foreign businessmen is a matter of face for our county." Yang Jie nodded in satisfaction, reminding Chen Yinglong with one sentence.

  Chen Yinglong's spirits lifted instantly after hearing Yang Jie's words, and the fatigue of a sleepless night was swept away in an instant. He picked up the phone on the table and began to make arrangements for personnel.

  The matter of Jamesson, the county had issued a gag order, no need for Yang Jie to remind him, Chen Yinglong also understood that this matter could not be spread outside, so he arranged for his trusted subordinates and internal personnel of the Public Security Brigade who knew about the Jamesson incident.

  After a string of phone calls, Chen Yinglong finally took out a thick stack of materials from the locked drawer under his office desk. "Yang Laoxiong, the interrogation work may require some tactics. As a leader in the county party committee office, if you are there, the police officers will not dare to interrogate openly. If you don't mind, please rest in the office for a while, and we'll try our best to get a confession as soon as possible."

  This year's trial work, more or less will use tactics, Yang Jie hadn't seen it before, but had heard Liu Daxing and others mention it, so he nodded immediately, indicating no problem, after which Chen Yinglong stepped out of the office.

  Having obtained Yang Jie's promise, Chen Yinglong undoubtedly got the imperial sword, but he cautiously went to a second-floor office after leaving the office and called his superior, County Bureau Deputy Director Yang Hua, to vent with Yang Hua and confirm that Luo Song was indeed under double regulation before arranging for someone to bring Wang Biao to the interrogation room.

  Yang Jie did not know how Chen Yinglong interrogated Wang Biao, nor did he know what means these people had used on Wang Biao. By the time Chen Yinglong returned to the office with Wang Biao's confession, less than two hours had passed.

  Taking over the interrogation transcript handed over by Chen Yinglong, the transcript accurately recorded that on the evening of July 3, 1995, Wang Biao, who was on duty at the Public Security Brigade, received a phone call from Luo Song, the director of the county bureau. Luo Song instructed Wang Biao to bring people to No. 41 Changmen Street, Mengya Hair Salon, to capture a blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreigner, and also to bring a camera for on-site evidence collection.

  Chen Yinglong was meticulous in his work, not only interrogating Wang Biao but also obtaining the testimony of the five police officers who accompanied Wang on the mission that night. The testimony clearly stated that Wang led them directly to the Changmen Street Mei Ya Hair Salon, apparently having received information and knowing that their target was inside.

  Moreover, for this type of emergency response task, the deputy squadron leader does not have the direct right to lead the team and must obtain the approval of the squadron leader and the head of the supervisory bureau before leading the police in law enforcement. From Wang Biao's behavior alone, his emergency response did not comply with regulations.

  Of course, the rules are dead, and he caught Jamison's appearance on the spot. This matter came out, plus Luo Song's protection, even Yang Hua, the deputy director in charge of public security and traffic police work, had no way to deal with Wang Biao, it can be seen that Luo Song has a powerful momentum in the Public Security Bureau.

  With a glance at the materials in his hand, Chen Yinglong's interrogation work was quite effective. Not only did he clearly ask Wang Biao about capturing Jamison under Luo Song's orders, but also obtained Wang Biao's confession of bribing Luo Song several times, including time, place and amount, all recorded on file.

  "Just with this, taking down Luo Song and Wang Biao is enough. 'Brother Chen, with these materials, I believe Luo Song and Wang Biao won't be able to escape, I have to go back to the county committee immediately, Wang Biao must be controlled, don't let him come out and cause trouble.'"
