  "Bullshit! He said he didn't lay a hand on him? Fan Shaozhen was beaten, and both Zheng Yuan and I were present, we saw it with our own eyes. Is there still no justice in this world? Can someone who beats people just find a witness to turn black into white? Is this how you police investigate and handle cases?" Liao Kai heard Zhang Liye say this, and immediately stood up in anger. He was already shameless enough, but he didn't expect that Yang Jie, who looked like a decent person, would be even more shameless than him.

  "I don't care who Yang Jie is or who his father is, I just want the police station to enforce the law impartially. The injury assessment can be obtained immediately, and before that, no matter what means you use, you must make Yang Jie plead guilty." Liao Kai pointed at Wen Peng's nose, shouting in a state of extreme anxiety.

  "Liao Shao, this Yang Jie is a cadre from the county party committee office. His father, Yang Xinhua, and Secretary Zhou are old comrades-in-arms, their relationship is very close..." Wen Peng wasn't Liao Kai, he didn't know Yang Jie's background, but after hearing Zhang Liye say that, he suddenly remembered who Yang Jie was.

  "I don't care who his father is! Shouldn't he be punished for hitting someone? I can guarantee with my head that it was Yang Jie who hit Fan Shaozheng. You can investigate freely, I don't believe that Secretary Zhou's people can disregard the law and discipline, and they're cadres! I think they're no different from hoodlums!" If it wasn't for Yang Jie hitting him, after hearing Wen Peng say this, Liao Kai would probably have retreated quietly.

  Ke Fan Shao was indeed beaten by Yang Jie, and Liao Kai witnessed it with his own eyes. With a sense of security in his heart, Liao Kai didn't care about Yang Jie's background at all. In his opinion, as long as he could get Yang Jie to confess, the whole thing would be settled immediately.

  As long as the case is settled, even if Yang Jie is Zhou Dalong's son, what can be done? Can Zhou Dalong dare to cover up for Yang Jie under irrefutable evidence?

  Wen Peng saw Liao Kai say this, and in his heart he also made a ruthless decision. Yang Hua had already taken over the Public Security Bureau, and it seemed that the internal rectification of the bureau was about to begin. As Luo Song's number one general, he would be the first to be adjusted. At present, he could only rely on Liao Kai to have a glimmer of hope.

  With a determined look, Wen Peng said to Zhang Liye: "Separate Yang Jie and his witness, interrogate the witness first, and it's best to get the witness's confession of perjury before dealing with Yang Jie. Make sure everything is done flawlessly, got it?"

  Zhang Liye's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, it seemed that Wen Peng and Liao Kai had made up their minds to deal with Yang Jie. He was Wen Peng's trusted confidant, the two were in a relationship of shared honor and loss. Now that Wen Peng's position as head was hard to keep, his days would not be easy from now on. With the opportunity to climb onto Secretary Liao's line, he wouldn't think twice about it.

  "Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!" Zhang Liye nodded in agreement with Wen Peng and left the office in big strides.

  "I'd like to see who dares to perjure themselves for Yang Jie, it's really disgusting!" Liao Kai saw Zhang Liye come out of the office, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He stormed out of the office, heading in the direction of the interrogation room.

  Wen Peng hastened to follow, today's matter he had staked his entire future on it. If he couldn't get Yang Jie's intentional injury confession in the shortest time possible, once the county committee office found out that Yang Jie was arrested by the police station, it would definitely trigger Secretary Zhou's outrage. By then, Wen Peng feared he would have no chance to turn things around.

  Yang Jie had never been to a police station before, and he thought that with Deng Xiaoyue's testimony and Zhang Liye knowing his identity, coming to the police station would just be a formality of recording a statement. However, before he could even warm up the chair, Zhang Liye stormed out from inside.

  "Take Yang Jie to interrogation room 1, and Deng Xiaoyue to interrogation room 2. Without the director's orders, no one is allowed to see them!" Zhang Liye looked at Yang Jie not far away, secretly steeled himself, and the little sympathy he had for Yang Jie quickly dissipated in the face of his own career advancement.

  Deng Xiaoyue saw the situation change, her face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly glanced at Yang Jie. Seeing that Yang Jie was still calm and composed, without any expression of surprise or panic, as if everything was within his expectation, her heart was suddenly determined.

  "Xiao Yue, don't worry, just tell the truth! I believe no one can frame us up with their own hands!" Yang Jie saw two police officers approaching, calmly and quietly looking at Xiao Yue, after a faint smile, confidence appeared in his eyes.

  "Hurry up! Don't waste words!"

  Xiao Qian didn't know Yang Jie's background, and seeing Yang Jie dare to speak like this at the police station, his eyebrows suddenly rose, grabbing Yang Jie's arm and wanting to pull him up. However, no matter how hard he tried, Yang Jie remained seated in the chair, unmoving.

  "Comrade Yang Jie, please cooperate with our work, otherwise don't blame us for putting handcuffs on you!" Zhang Liye stepped forward, his face gloomy, coldly staring at Yang Jie's calm warning.

  "You'd better not lay a hand on Deng Xiaoyue, or you'll regret it!" Yang Jie saw that Deng Xiaoyue had been taken away by Xiao Tang, stood up, his eyes piercing as he gave Zhang Liye a deep look, and then dropped this sentence before following Xiao Qian to the interrogation room.

  In the interrogation room with all four sides sealed, there were no windows around, and once the door was closed, not a single ray of light could enter from outside. In front of the interrogation table, a spotlight shone on an iron chair in the middle of the room. Xiao Qian led Yang Jie into the interrogation room, pointing to the chair and telling him to sit down.

  The atmosphere in the dark interrogation room was extremely oppressive, especially for those sitting on the interrogation chair, illuminated by the lamp on the interrogation table, making it impossible to see the people behind the table. The surroundings were pitch black and seemed endless. If a slightly timid prisoner entered such an interrogation room, he would likely collapse under psychological pressure in no time and confess honestly.

  Zhang Liye whispered a few words to Xiao Qian, then walked out of the interrogation room. Xiao Qian, sitting behind the interrogation desk, didn't seem anxious either, letting Yang Jie sit in the interrogation chair without asking any questions at all.

  "Brother Jie, they have ulterior motives. They want to interrogate Deng Xiaoyue first and then deal with you." Xiao Wu suddenly appeared in front of Yang Jie with a worried face.

  "Since Deng Xiaoyue has already agreed to testify for me, I believe she won't betray me!" Yang Jie also felt something was off at this time. Previously when he came to the police station with Zhang Liye, it was just said that they were coming to assist in the investigation, but now he and Deng Xiaoyue had been locked into an interrogation room, clearly being treated like suspects.

  These days, the means of handling cases are nothing new. When Yang Jie went to the Public Security Brigade and Chen Yinglong interrogated Wang Biao, he even said that they would use torture to extract a confession. It can be seen that these people from the police station are not easy to deal with, and it's not uncommon for them to use corporal punishment to obtain confessions. This has been the case since ancient times, and it won't be any less common now.

  "I'm a cadre from the county committee office, I still have to go to work this afternoon. You want me to come to the police station to assist with the investigation, that's fine, but I need to call my unit to ask for leave!" Yang Jie stood up and was about to walk towards the interrogation room door when Little Qian swung a baton at his head.

  "You're still not behaving yourself! If I don't teach you a lesson, you really think the police station is your family's property!" Little Qian had a very hot temper, and seeing Yang Jie stand up and want to leave, he didn't care about Zhang Liye's warning from earlier and directly started using physical force.

  "Looking for death!"

  Yang Jie looked at the police baton that was swung towards him and quickly grabbed Xiao Qian's hand that was holding the baton. Although the baton was made of rubber, it had steel wires inside, and being hit by it on the head would be extremely painful. If it were to hit a vital spot, it wouldn't be difficult to kill someone with it.

  Xiao Qian didn't expect Yang Jie to dare resist in the interrogation room, his already gloomy face twisted with rage, he lifted his leg and kicked Yang Jie, "You little bastard dares to assault a police officer, let me see if I can kill you!"

  Yang Xinhua is a battle hero who survived the hail of bullets, and also the captain of the reconnaissance battalion. His tactical skills are far beyond those of ordinary people. Yang Jie, who was trained by him, is not comparable to an ordinary police officer like Xiao Qian.

  Before Xiao Qian's foot could land, Yang Jie grabbed Xiao Qian's hand and pulled him in his direction, causing Xiao Qian to lose balance and fall towards Yang Jie. Yang Jie swiftly used a grappling move to twist Xiao Qian's arm, pinning him to the ground and snatching the baton from his hand.

  "My god! Let go quickly!" Little Qian never thought that he was no match for Yang Jie. As soon as they started fighting, Yang Jie subdued him with just a few moves. Feeling embarrassed, Little Qian struggled and shouted out loud.

  "Let go, but you'd better calm down here!" Yang Jie said, striking a knife at Xiao Qian's neck, instantly knocking him unconscious. Looking at the soft-fallen Xiao Qian on the ground, Yang Jie gently placed him on the floor of the interrogation room and stood up to open the door of the interrogation room.

  The interrogation room was quiet and deserted, with no one in sight. Yang Jie didn't trust Deng Xiaoyue, thinking that since they had already taken action, he might as well rescue her too. Whatever happened could be discussed after they left the police station.

  Just as he was looking for the second interrogation room, Xiao Wu suddenly spoke up and advised: "Jie brother, based on comprehensive analysis, if you go to rescue Deng Xiaoyue now, not only will you fail to save her, but you may also get yourself trapped.

  "After all, you made a move in the interrogation room and attacked the police. Even if they shot you on the spot, it would be justified. Besides, except for Deng Xiaoyue's parents, no one else knows that you've been taken to the police station. I suggest you leave the police station directly, make a phone call to ask for help, and don't act rashly, so as not to misjudge others or yourself."

  Yang Jie was not a reckless man, and what he had in mind was stopped by Xiao Wu. He suddenly broke out in cold sweat. What Xiao Wu said was right, if Liao Kai and others were determined to deal with him, they could really do it, after all, this was a police station, and except for Deng Xiaoyue, there was no one around who could prove his innocence.

  If Zhang Liye and these police officers framed themselves, shot themselves, put a knife in their own hands, and said they were attacking the police, so they had no choice but to open fire and kill them. Even if they investigated afterwards, at most, they would just expel the people's policeman who opened fire and killed himself. Yang Jie wouldn't do such a losing business.
