Chapter 207: No Forgiveness... No one is as important as you.
"Are you done? Did you get any information out of them?" Xu Hengzhou had just come out of the room when Xiang Chen approached him.
He had been alone with Officer Qu in a room, but there was nothing much to say. Perhaps because Xu Hengzhou offended Officer Qu by using his connections to meet the two prisoners alone, Officer Qu didn't have a good attitude towards Xiang Chen either. He didn't even acknowledge him, only glaring at the door as if trying to see through it to see what Xu Hengzhou was doing.
Xu Hengzhou's imposing aura had long since disappeared, and he smiled as he approached Xiang Chen. He casually draped his arm around Xiang Chen's shoulder and pulled him close. He said to Officer Qu, "The two inside said they have something to confess. Could you please go in and check?"
Xiang Chen looked at Xu Hengzhou admiringly, feeling that he was really amazing. He had effortlessly pried open the mouths of the two prisoners. You see, earlier this morning, when Xu Hengzhou said he wanted to see the prisoners, Officer Qu said they were just causing trouble, and those two wouldn't change their minds at all.
Officer Qu's expression was skeptical. "Why would they be willing to talk? What did you do?"
The two prisoners—one brooding and difficult to control, the other carefree and full of lies—were no match for these police officers. It took quite a bit of effort to get them to talk, but they had never yielded any results. So why, after this person went in, had they confessed in less than half an hour?
"What could I have done?" Xu Hengzhou's mood was sour, and he had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with Officer Qu. His smirk held a hint of sarcasm. "I just talked to them about life and ideals. Perhaps they wanted to confess all along, and I just happened to catch them at the right moment."
"Be serious!" His flippant attitude irritated Officer Qu. "Tell me, what did you do to the prisoners?!"
"What did I do?!" Xiang Chen rushed forward, standing in front of Xu Hengzhou. His face was still bandaged, and he was noticeably shorter than Xu Hengzhou, but his demeanor was fierce, like a small tiger baring its teeth.
"Look here, we're the victims! You can't catch the culprit, and my brother provides a lead, and you treat him like a criminal? What's your meaning?!" Xiang Chen's emotions were running high, his words coming out too fast, and he winced from the pain in his face.
Xu Hengzhou looked at Xiang Chen standing in front of him, and his gaze softened. Various conflicting emotions slowly subsided within him.
He rubbed his temples, trying to remain calm. The revelation that Uncle Deng's son was involved in hiring the hitman had indeed shaken him greatly, causing him to lose control of his emotions. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so affected by Officer Qu's questioning.
"It's okay, don't speak anymore. Be careful not to aggravate your wound." Xu Hengzhou pulled Xiang Chen behind him. When he looked back at Officer Qu, his expression had returned to normal. "I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. I was a bit shaken after speaking with the two inside. But I did manage to get some information. You can go in and ask them for details. It's up to you to analyze the situation."
Officer Qu was scolded fiercely by Xiang Chen and looked a bit displeased. He remained silent, feeling a bit ashamed of his previous behavior towards Xu Hengzhou. Initially, he didn't mind being assigned to this case; it was his job, and he just wanted to solve it as efficiently as possible.
