Chapter 689: Chapter 680: Lin Hu and Hao Ren

Li Zijun is no longer dealing with this case, but Du Qiang is still involved. This case is not a small one, and a lot of police resources have been deployed. Du Qiang is one of them, though he’s responsible for the aftermath.

But anyway, there’s finally someone familiar present, plus his role as a criminal investigation consultant, so he’s sort of an insider.

As for him wanting to learn more about the case, Old Lin wouldn’t refuse. He was even hoping he could ask some more valuable leads. After all, Su Qing’s performance in the police station over the past half-year has been quite impressive.

Even the big leaders in the bureau recognize his abilities, let alone people like Elder Zhao and Old Lin, who have experienced it firsthand.

Soon, he took Du Qiang with him to the detention center. The people are no longer at the police station; they’re at the detention center since the police station doesn’t have enough space for them.

Bringing Du Qiang along is beneficial in dealing with his relatives. After all, having an official police status is quite useful. Moreover, entering the detention center requires procedures. Even if Old Lin nods approval, having Du Qiang, an official employee with credentials, is insurance.

The work ID he has, to be honest, doesn’t hold any real power; it’s merely a symbol of identity, proving he’s a criminal investigation consultant here at the police station.

"Name?"

"Lin Hu, Hao Ren!"

"Age?"

"21, 24"

"Did you commit any crimes?"

"Hmm, yes!"

"Repeat what you know!"

The two: "Ah blah ah blah..."

Inside the detention center’s interrogation room, Lin Hu and Hao Ren sat on the interrogation chairs, while Du Qiang and Su Qing were on the other side. Du Qiang was seriously following the procedures, and Su Qing was watching the two, listening to the mental narration prompts.

[Gambling addict Lin Hu, the eldest son of the Lin family, idling his time away, ignoring proper work, and this time he finally hit a major setback. Though not a core member, driven by a strong desire for money, in a short time, he became a backbone of a small group of thirteen people, handling considerable amounts of money.]

[Hao Ren, as his name suggests, not inherently bad but somewhat foolish. After graduating, he couldn’t find a suitable job, aiming high but lacking skills, eventually got dragged into being an accomplice, a peripheral member, with the initial HR.]

Su Qing:...

Damn HR, when is an HR not cunning? When he first graduated and looked for a job, he often got exploited as practice by those so-called HR people. He later realized this, almost getting infuriated, which was one of the reasons he disliked entering the workforce for quite a while.

But fortunately, neither of them were core members of the group, which means they won’t be sentenced too heavily. If they actively compensate, they might get out in a few months, maybe even be released on bail early.

As Lin Hu and Hao Ren answered Du Qiang’s questions, they occasionally glanced at Su Qing, silent on the side.

Both being young people, they naturally knew who he was—a top-tier internet celebrity, a young billionaire, and most importantly, a relative of theirs.

Though they’re back in their hometown, they aren’t unfamiliar with online news, and they know very well about this accomplished relative of theirs. After all, having such a successful person from one’s family naturally draws attention.

The moment they saw Su Qing, they knew there might be a turnaround for their situation. He should be the one their parents asked for help.

Initially, they wanted to get chummy, but Du Qiang yelled at them, so they obediently sat down and answered questions.

Du Qiang was a bit annoyed today, being played by Su Qing, so how could he be pleasant to these two?

After going through a round, Su Qing had mostly gathered the information he wanted, then nodded at Du Qiang beside him: "Qiang... Brother Qiang, I’ve understood almost everything. They didn’t lie, just that the severity varies, of course, we still need to investigate and collect evidence. Just take my words as a suggestion!"

Eyeing Du Qiang, Su Qing quickly corrected himself, after all, there were still relatives to deal with, and he would need Du Qiang’s help.

"Hmm, no other useful information? Like their superiors?"

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He did have clues; he even knew where their bosses lived, and if he tried hard enough, he could probably find out where the core members of their headquarters were. But could he say it?

Some were in Yu Zhou, tens of thousands of miles from Jiang City, and even some core members were overseas. If he said it, let alone whether Old Lin would believe it, he couldn’t even explain his source of information.

If it were in Jiang City, even in Lin City, he could still make some effort, but this was out of the question.

"Brother Qiang, come on, how would I know? I can only tell they are not lying. If they don’t know something, could I somehow figure it out?"

"Can’t you? Didn’t you use to say you could do Feng Shui Divination? I thought you could predict things," Du Qiang said with a cold smile.

Su Qing felt helpless about this, but nothing could be done; one has to bow down when under someone’s roof.

"Alright, Brother Qiang, could you call their parents to the next room? I have something to tell them, and it’d be a good chance for them to meet."

Fortunately, the nature of the cases involving these people was defined; otherwise, meeting them would be very difficult. Even for visitation, multiple people coming together wouldn’t be possible.

With that, Du Qiang took a look at him, then walked out.

Seeing this, the two on the opposite side quickly spoke up:

"Su Qing, cousin bro? I’m Huzi, do you remember me? We peed in the mud as kids..."

"Cousin? Did my mom and the others come? When can I get out?"

The two haven’t been caught for long, but they’re definitely not used to being in the detention center. After all, the detention center is not a good place; no one will indulge you, and sometimes you even get beaten up.

Hearing this, Su Qing didn’t answer but looked up at them instead. Instantly, that sense of pressure emanated from his body, making him look stern and dignified. With his various auras, as a billionaire, famous figure, police consultant, and most importantly, his gaze, the two felt that he could see through their thoughts, feeling stressed.

After a while, Su Qing finally spoke: "Aunt and Cousin did come, you’ll see them shortly, but as for getting out immediately, let’s say the odds are like Guo Degang’s height!"

The two: ???

"Not high?"

Su Qing shook his head: "Very low!"

The two:...

Seeing this, Su Qing continued: "But fortunately, neither of you are core members, especially Hao Ren, as a peripheral member, it’s at most an accomplice charge. Discuss this well with your family later, maybe you can get released on bail early, but you’ll still have to stay for at least ten days to half a month."

"Cousin, what about me?"

"You? Not quite sure!"

Lin Hu:...
