Attack people's hearts, expose their weaknesses, and poke at their sore spots. Only in this way can a person break his defenses.
Facing an old man like Zhao Xingsheng who has been on the road for who knows how many years, he can't ask anything out just by relying on force.
Only by using the people or things he is afraid of can he quickly break down his psychological defenses.
What does Zhao Xingsheng care about?
The recording Mr. M sent to Pan Junyuan made it very clear.
Unfortunately, Pan Junyuan didn't realize this at all. He simply thought that Mr. M just didn't want him to beat Zhao Xingsheng to death, so he used the recording to stabilize himself.
At first Ai Liang thought so too, but after seeing Zhao Xingsheng's indifferent expression, he understood another meaning of Mr. M's recording.
Zhao Xingsheng said calmly, "Oh, you want to threaten me with my wife? I'm afraid you don't even know where she is."
Ai Liang still didn't answer, but continued to ask his own question: "Then you mean you don't want to know?"
When Ai Liang couldn't get anything out of him, Zhao Xingsheng understood that the person behind him was not as easy to fool as Pan Junyuan.
He made so many mistakes that he made up his mind to remain mute.
Seeing that Zhao Xingsheng didn't speak, Ai Liang continued to stimulate: "In order to survive, he actually gave his pregnant wife to others to play with. It's true that a person is not ruthless and cannot stand firmly."
"You fart!"
Zhao Xingsheng tried to stand up with his legs, but was held down by Ai Liang.
"Yes, I farted. Anyway, I don't even know where your wife is, right?"
Zhao Xingsheng, who was panicking, began to think wildly, all about Xu Le, Brother Shun in his mouth, and the black industries of Toyosaki Group.
Ai Liang wrote down this information one by one, preparing to use these things to obtain more information.
"What was your former boss's name...Jiang Shun? You really trusted him. You knew you couldn't run away, so you asked him to send your wife away."
As Ai Liang spoke, he read Zhao Xingsheng's thoughts and dug out a lot of dirty things about Toyosaki Group.
Then he began to use these things to continue to stimulate Zhao Xingsheng.
"You said that you have also worked for Toyosaki Group for so many years. You know how Toyosaki treats those who stand in the way."
"Xu Le asked you to set a fire, and you went. Why do you think he came to you because of your bad debt at Lyric Pavilion? Do you believe this?"
"They're all working on the street. You guys have so many bad debts like yours. Why did Xu Le choose you?"
Under Ai Liang's step-by-step guidance, Zhao Xingsheng inevitably carefully recalled his original conversations with Xu Le and others, trying to find out why the other party came to find him.
‘Brother Zhao, I am not an unreasonable person, I know you have retired.
I won't let you hit or kill anyone in this job. As long as no one sees it, you can live a good life with the money I give you.
As for the subsequent problems caused by the fire, as usual, the group will help you handle everything.’
'All I have to do is go over and light a fire?'
'Yes, your main task is to supervise another person's work. After he pours the oil, light a fire and throw it over. It's very easy.'
'Do you think I'm stupid?'
'Letting you stand up is the last resort. Brother Zhao has been around for so many years, doesn't he even understand this?'
'Okay, I'll take this job, but after it's over...'
'I won't come to you again after I finish doing this, and I guarantee that no one in the group will come to trouble you.'
The scene changed and Zhao Xingsheng was standing with a thin boy whose face could not be seen clearly.
The location is the backyard of two small villas connected together.
'His house is very big, and it would make a lot of noise if it burned.'
'Where are all the bullshit? Brother Le said, after doing this, all your bad debts will be written off... Fuck, I'm doing all the dirty work. You just raise your hand to light a fire, and all the bad debts worth a million dollars will be written off.
Just hook up and get money, the treatment of the older generation is really fucking ridiculous.'
'Hello mom, did Xu Le tell you why he burned this house?'
'I'm just a handyman, so I don't know so much, but I heard that someone in this house seemed to have touched something of Brother Le's, I don't know what it was, and the house would be gone if he touched it.'
'Something? What?'
'I've already told you, I don't know, but you still ask. I also listened to what Brother Shun and the others said. You were working under Brother Shun, so you didn't hear what Brother Shun and the others had to say?'
'I've been retired for a long time and I've just been brought back.'
'I really envy you. You can get the same amount of money as me when you come back and stand up. The more you think about it, the more you will lose. You have to buy me a drink later.'
'Stop talking nonsense, are you sure it's all gone?'
'After pouring it, except for two bedrooms that were locked and couldn't be entered, it was poured everywhere else. You don't know how strong the smell is when the two oils are mixed. I almost choked to death in the room.'
'This is a rich family.'
'...You want to share this hard-earned money? You...Okay, okay, this watch belongs to you, and the rest belongs to me. I checked, and this watch is worth 70,000 to 80,000 yuan!'
After the two men finished dividing the spoils, the final scene was fixed on the scene where Zhao Xingsheng threw the lit wax block into the house.
Ai Liang removed his hand from Zhao Xingsheng's shoulder.
It is not difficult to see from Zhao Xingsheng's memories that he was just an insignificant abandoned son.
Neither the reason why Xu Le came to find him nor the specific purpose of Xu Le setting the fire was clear.
As Ai Liang reasoned, the whole thing was not simply about setting fire to the house because of a land dispute.
The land dispute is a cover used to hide the truth.
Both families died in the fire, which is very strange to say.
There was a fire in his villa, and no matter what, it was impossible for everyone to be burned to death at home.
If it were the kind of apartment building with anti-theft windows on the balcony, it would be understandable that he couldn't escape, but Pan Junyuan's house and his uncle's house are single-family villas.
There was a fire at home and no one even reacted at all.
Combined with Zhao Xingsheng's memory of the conversation with another murderer, the two families were either dead in the bedroom, or were drugged and knocked unconscious and unable to escape.
Zhao Xingsheng and another person were just tools who came to destroy the scene.
What exactly did Pan Junyuan's family get from Xu Le to deserve such cruel revenge?
Ai Liang thought about it.
I'm afraid I just saw something I shouldn't have seen and learned something I shouldn't know.
Ai Liang tightened the rope around Zhao Xingsheng, and then carried Pan Junyuan outside the garage.
"Zhao Xingsheng is just a pawn. He knows nothing. There is no point in interrogating him. His only role is to help you clear your name."
Pan Junyuan said nothing, still holding back his sobs.
"I know you want revenge, but Mr. M behind you probably doesn't want you to know too much. From his perspective, it shouldn't be difficult to see that Zhao Xingsheng doesn't need to interrogate."
Ai Liang leaned against the wall and asked Pan Junyuan for his opinion.
