In the interrogation room, Hu Wenqiang was obviously caught off guard. He did not expect that he would be caught by the police at the last moment when he got into the car.
It was only after hearing Gu Chen's words that he began to twist his arms and pretend to relax.
But the tense nerves still made Hu Wenqiang not look so relaxed.
Lu Weiwei asked directly: "Where are you from?"
"Expensive...expensive." Hu Wenqiang lowered his head.
"Your province? What are you doing in Jiangnan City?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Meet...meet a friend." Hu Wenqiang's reply was still stiff.
Officer Wang smiled and said: "What is your friend's name?"
"His name...his name is Zhao Pei." After the words fell, Hu Wenqiang's head lowered even further, as if he did not dare to look directly at the crowd.
Officer Wang couldn't help but shake his head, and he also pressed the table to remind him: "Put your head up."
Hu Wenqiang obeyed and did as he was told, but after looking at each other and Gu Chen, he quickly lowered his head.
Gu Chen didn't talk nonsense to him and went straight to the point: "Hu Wenqiang, we found that when you came here this time, you just took a wooden box from Zhao Pei's hand, right?"
"Yes, that's my uncle's wooden box."
"Then why is it in Zhao Pei's hands?" Gu Chen asked again.
Hu Wenqiang paused, and then added: "Because this wooden box is a family inheritance of my uncle. He had debts due to gambling, so this wooden box was mortgaged."
"Later, after many twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of Zhao Pei. However, since Zhao Pei and my uncle were dead brothers, he agreed to return the box to my uncle."
"However, due to some things, this matter was delayed. Later I heard that the box had been kept by Zhao Pei's friend, so..."
"So it's your uncle's wish that you came to pick up the box this time, right?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Hu Wenqiang didn't dare not say it, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's true."
"Haha." Hearing this, Officer Wang couldn't help laughing, and said straight to the point: "I mean, we are all adults, so there is no need to pretend, right?"
"You said the box belongs to your uncle, what is your uncle's name?"
"His...his name...his name is Hu Lie."
"Hu Lie?" Officer Wang was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that this might be more like Xu Peiwen, who changed his name to something else to conceal his identity.
But Officer Wang is not a vegetarian. Everyone arrested Hu Wenqiang this time just to get more information about Xu Peiwen and Huang Zhigang from Hu Wenqiang.
But now it seems that Hu Wenqiang is obviously playing tricks on everyone.
After thinking about it, Officer Wang said angrily: "Actually, the Zhao Pei you met is not called Zhao Pei at all. His name is Xu Peiwen, right?"
"Huh?" Officer Wang said suddenly. Before he could react, Hu Wenqiang tensed up and pretended not to know:
"Comrade police, I...I don't know what you are talking about?"
"You don't know what I'm talking about? Tell me, the owner of this box, your uncle, the man named Hu Lie, is his name Huang Zhigang?"
"Ah?" When he heard the name "Huang Zhigang", Hu Wenqiang's expression obviously fluctuated violently.
And all this was seen by Gu Chen.
Seeing that Hu Wenqiang stopped talking, Gu Chen also blurted out: "Hu Wenqiang, are you and your uncle an uncle-nephew relationship?"
"this……"
"Tell the truth." Seeing Hu Wenqiang's hesitant speech, Lu Weiwei reminded him.
Hu Wenqiang was a little frightened. It seemed that he had never experienced this kind of oppression from the police before.
In addition, he was taken to the interrogation room by the police at the same time he got into the car. This suddenness only increased Hu Wenqiang's nervousness.
But now, the police have stepped up their efforts to confront themselves with this information.
Hu Wenqiang was really panicking now. He felt that the police seemed to know much more about the situation than he thought.
Seeing that Hu Wenqiang didn't speak, Yuan Shasha also urged: "Is your uncle Hu Lie's original name Huang Zhigang?"
"Also, was this box that your uncle asked you to retrieve, and was it kept by Xu Peiwen before? It wasn't lost because of gambling at all, right?"
"No...no." After hearing Yuan Shasha's words, Hu Wenqiang tried to calm down and then said:
"Comrade police, why do I become more and more confused the more I hear what you are saying? I really don't know what you are talking about?"
"Pah!" Seeing that Hu Wenqiang didn't shed tears without seeing the coffin, Officer Wang slapped the table hard, causing the teacup on the table to fly up.
"Hu Wenqiang, you'd better be honest with me. Do you think we don't know what kind of deal you are doing?"
Leaning forward, Officer Wang continued with a sneer: "You came to retrieve this box just for the special symbols on the box."
"What other old things are there? With so many high-sounding reasons, do you think we are blind?"
Sitting up straight, he shook his fingers at Hu Wenqiang, and Officer Wang said again: "Since we can bring you here, we know your background."
"You came here this time and met Xu Peiwen secretly. In fact, you all know it in your heart."
"Comrade police."
"Say." Before Hu Wenqiang finished speaking, Officer Wang once again used his oppressive momentum to force Hu Wenqiang to tell the specific situation.
At this moment, Gu Chen also said coldly: "Hu Wenqiang, in fact, we have already grasped the relationship between you people, especially Xu Peiwen, who is in contact with you."
"He suffered a lot of blood debt in his early years. The miners who died at his hands were not as simple as a few human lives."
"Now that we can find him, it means that we have already grasped the situation of you people."
"The reason why I'm arresting you now is to expose yourself, but in fact, you have been under the control of our police from the beginning."

"Hang around with this group of people, and if you get yourself involved, you know the consequences."
"Comrade police, I...I really...really don't know how things could have turned out like this?"
After listening to Gu Chen's words, Hu Wenqiang suddenly lost control of his emotions and covered his face with his hands, as if he was filled with regret.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she smiled lightly and said, "Why are you crying? You could have just cooperated with us earlier."
"We are asking you to tell the truth now because we want to give you a chance. It's because you don't want to take advantage of it."
"You have to clearly understand that your current situation, at such a young age, has ruined your future. Do you think it's worth it?"
After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Hu Wenqiang, who was sitting in the interrogation chair, lowered his head and shook his head.
Lu Weiwei added: "Then if I ask you now, you'd better give me an honest answer."
After the words fell, Hu Wenqiang nodded again.
Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen looked at each other, and then asked him: "Is the person who handed over this wooden box to you Xu Peiwen?"
"Yes." Hu Wenqiang nodded to confirm, and then added: "His name is indeed Xu Peiwen. The reason why he is called Zhao Pei is actually because he took several lives on his hands many years ago."
After sniffing, Hu Wenqiang added: "Of course, these are what I heard from my uncle."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, recorded these in the record, raised his head and asked again:
"Then what is the relationship between you and your uncle? Is your uncle Huang Zhigang?"
"I don't know." Hu Wen pressed Yaoyao's head and said involuntarily:
"But I know that my uncle Hu Lie's name is definitely not true, but as for his real name? I really don't know."
"Everyone likes to call him Turtle Dove. As for where this nickname came from? I don't know."
"Then why is he your uncle?" Yuan Shasha was also very curious.
Hu Wenqiang choked up and then said slowly: "Because he lives in our village and has a higher seniority. For people his age, I usually call him either uncle or master."
"But he likes others to call him Old Turtle Dove, and he also likes me to call him uncle."
"Because there are many people named Hu in that village, it is normal for me to call him uncle."
"You have a good relationship with him?" Gu Chen raised his head and said.
"It's just so-so." Hu Wenqiang rubbed his face with both hands and said lightly.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and asked hurriedly: "What does it mean in general? Even though I'm not familiar with you, you run errands for them and come to Jiangnan City from your province to do things for them?"
"Well……"
Faced with Lu Weiwei's doubts, Hu Wenqiang suddenly became speechless again.
Officer Wang pressed the table to remind him, "Do you want to be punished and meritorious service? Why are you so hesitant in speaking?"
Once again, he was confused by Officer Wang's warning. After a brief hesitation, Hu Wenqiang quickly replied:
"Yes...it's because we often get together to play cards. That old turtle dove is very bad at playing cards. I always lose when playing cards with him."
"Then, I owed him a lot of money from this trip. But since our two families don't live far apart, we often visit each other. We are relatively familiar with each other."
Taking a deep breath, Hu Wenqiang tried to calm down and then said: "Some time ago, he suddenly told me that he asked me to help him with something."
"After this is done, the money I owe him will be cut in half."
"When I heard that it was such a good thing? But when I thought about it, I felt that there must be something fishy in it."
"So, I quickly asked him to find out what was going on? Should I be asked to do something illegal or disciplinary? Do I have to agree?"
"Then what did he say?" Gu Chen raised his head and asked him while recording.
Hu Wenqiang also sighed heavily and replied expressionlessly: "What can he say? Just say it's a nice job. I just help him go to Jiangnan City and retrieve a box for him."
"And that box is an ancestral item that he has inherited for many years. Although it is not valuable, the workmanship is good and it is relatively exquisite. He hopes that I can help him get it back."
"Later, I asked him about it and confirmed that this box is indeed an old item."
"Then, I ran to Jiangnan City to retrieve the box for him, and then..."
Having said this, Hu Wenqiang couldn't help but look up at the four people and said cautiously:
"Later, as you can see, I was originally planning to go back by car, but... ended up being caught here by you."
"So according to what you said, you don't know much about what's going on here?" Yuan Shasha raised her head and asked him.
Hu Wenqiang nodded fiercely and agreed: "That's right, I don't know anything about the various situations here."
"Then how do you know his name is Xu Peiwen? And not Zhao Pei?" Gu Chen's words instantly made Hu Wenqiang look embarrassed again.
After a brief hesitation, Hu Wenqiang said slowly: "Actually, before I came here, my uncle Lao Turtlejiu told me in advance. He said that the person who handed me the box was originally named Xu Peiwen, but now his name is Zhao.
Pei.”
"Old Turtle Dove also said that as long as I meet him and accurately tell his real name, then this person named Xu Peiwen will definitely give the box to me."
"Then how did you do it?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Me? I obey and do as you are told." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Hu Wenqiang also quickly replied:
"I asked Xu Peiwen to meet on a stone bench in the parking lot, and when there was no one else around, I accurately stated Xu Peiwen's real name."
"He was also very curious at first, but when he thought about it later, he felt that I should be a confidant of my uncle, Old Turtle Dove, so he felt free to hand the things over to me."
"The symbol on the box..."
"I don't know." Before Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Hu Wenqiang, who was sitting on the interrogation chair, shook his head and denied:
"Although I know that there are some special symbols on that box, but what do those symbols mean? I don't know, and it's impossible for my uncle, Old Turtle Dove, to tell me."
"Because this is his secret and the secret between him and Xu Peiwen, and I am only responsible for picking up the goods and handing them over to my uncle, Old Turtle Dove."
After the words fell, Hu Wenqiang also sighed heavily, and then realized that due to the excessive tension just now, his whole body was now sore.
Gu Chen recorded all this in the record, then raised his head and asked Hu Wenqiang: "Your uncle, Old Turtle Dove, do you have any specific photos of him on your phone?"
"No." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Hu Wenqiang shook his head and denied:
"It's strange to say that the old turtle dove has lived for so many years, but he doesn't even have a photo."
"Sometimes, when we are having fun in the village or playing cards, we will inadvertently take out our mobile phones and take pictures."
"However, we didn't know before why the old turtle dove didn't want to be photographed?"
"Especially, there were a few times when someone accidentally took pictures of Old Turtle Dove, but he refused to let them go and asked them to delete the photos and videos from their mobile phones. It was quite ridiculous."
