"To be honest, I had a few too many drinks today!"
Xiaozhu later admitted.
He had been confused. Although Xiong Jiandong did not expect that he could quickly turn around after being slapped by him and give a confession in a place that was beneficial to him, but because there was indeed some over-impulsive fear in his mind, he revealed that
Tell your true thoughts about taking hostages on the spot.
"Actually, I don't really want her to die, let alone hurt others. If she...she is still willing to be nice to me, I will just apologize to her. All the money I earn in the future will be given to her to spend!"
Everyone in the interrogation room burst into laughter because of Xiaozhu's naivety and wild imagination.
But Hou Yiying knew very well what Xiong Jiandong's intention was at this time.
If this young man confessed to his hijacking now, he would be prosecuted for multiple suspected crimes such as kidnapping, explosion, intentional homicide, etc. The court would never give him a light sentence.
But what puzzled Hou Yiying was why the young man called Xiong Jiandong his brother many times.
She clearly remembered that at the memorial service after Xiong Jiandong's death, no relatives of his appeared.
After the interrogation, Xiao Zhuzhu was sent to the detention center. As one of the parties involved, Xiong Jiandong was invited by the police station to complete the transcript.
Before he could leave, reporters from several newspapers and TV stations who had been waiting here swarmed over him. They regarded him as a hero who had captured gangsters and acted bravely for justice, and they all asked to be interviewed about his deeds.
However, Xiong Jiandong did not answer anyone's questions, dodged left and right, and fled straight out of the police station door.
But the reporters, who were relentless in their pursuit, still blocked his way and made sure that he answered endless questions, including his name, his occupation, and why he rushed out of the scene regardless of his own safety.
, and so on, all kinds of questions?
"Hey, do you want to come up?"
A familiar voice called out to Xiong Jiandong from behind.
Xiong Jiandong knew who this was.
The car door was already open. He turned around and jumped into the Mercedes-Benz off-road military vehicle.
Before the reporters could react, the car drove around them wildly and drove away.
"Take me with you. This is a risky decision for you, and it might get you burned." Xiong Jiandong said.
In fact, he had already noticed Hou Yiying as soon as she appeared in the interrogation room, but at that time he was in a hurry to force Xiaozhu to change his story, so he didn't bother to greet her.
Moreover, before he returned to the capital from Jiuwei Mountain, he had already considered it clearly and did not intend to approach people who knew Hua Nianping and Xiong Jiandong for the time being.
"Can you first tell me who you are? Are you a human or a ghost?" Hou Yiying asked.
"Then, I want to ask you first, what is a human? What is a ghost?" Xiong Jiandong asked, jokingly, "I think of myself as neither human nor ghost, just a walking corpse!"
"What's wrong?" Hou Yiying suddenly slowed down the car and stared at Xiong Jiandong a few times in confusion, "Why do I feel that your tone and tone of speech are clearly another person, really like Hua...
"
"It's very much like a slippery one... a slippery one, right?" Xiong Jiandong didn't allow Hou Yiying to continue and quickly grabbed the words.
He then laughed and said, "Ha, you called me into the car, and then asked me who I was, whether I was a ghost or a human being! In fact, I have always wanted to find someone to ask me why I am living like a poor ghost now.
day?"
"I'm telling you serious things," Hou Yiying said. "The Deputy Director Xiong of Huaishang City whom I knew was shattered into pieces and disappeared in smoke more than half a year ago. Besides, he has never been as talkative as you!
"
"Yes, beauty, thank you for your rescue at the police station just now." Xiong Jiandong said, "If you have any doubts or are really worried, you can kick me out of the car now. You know, I haven't had dinner yet.
!”
"That can't happen!" Hou Yiying said, "Since I finally caught you, I have to find out what the origin of this poor guy you call yourself is."
The car stopped at a small restaurant.
Just now, Hou Yiying and Wang Xiyao were at the mutton-shabu restaurant. They only had a few bites of the hot pot before Yao Shunzhu disturbed the meal. At this time, they were really hungry.
Xiong Jiandong said that a bowl of noodles would be enough for him.
However, Hou Yiying ordered several dishes in succession and tried his best to persuade him to drink some wine, expressing his willingness to accompany him.
"This meal, damn, to be honest with you, I don't have much money on me," Xiong Jiandong said with a playful smile, "Not only do I need a beautiful woman like you to accompany me to drink, but I also need a beautiful woman like you to treat me."
His language was rough, and he called Hou Yiying the "beautiful girl" on the left and the "beautiful girl" on the right, which combined the spirit of the market.
"Of course," Hou Yiying didn't care for a moment and said jokingly, "Looking at what Director Xiong is wearing now, he is worse than a beggar on the roadside."
"A beggar?" Xiong Jiandong thought to himself, "She is right, I am really a beggar these days!"
After a while, the food and wine arrived.
Xiong Jiandong offered Hou Yiying a glass of wine, took another bite of food, pointed at the shadow of his own lamp on the wall, and said with a smile: "I heard that ghosts have no shadows, and they cannot eat the same dishes as humans, nor can they drink alcohol.
You see, I can do anything now, why am I a ghost!"
"It's not necessary to call Director Xiong a ghost." Hou Yiying said, "Just because you can actually resurrect from the dead and suddenly appear in this capital city, wouldn't it be too scary? What is going on?
"
"Let me ask, have you ever attended a memorial service held for me?"
"participated!"
"Is my body there at the scene?"
"No. I heard that many people were organized to salvage it, but not even a single bone was found. Everyone thought that the power of the explosion was too great. Not only you, but also the murderer Wang Zhengyi was wiped out and there was nothing left."
"No one knows that I actually jumped into the water a few seconds before the explosion and quickly escaped from the speedboat. Even so, damn, I was shocked and fainted. When I woke up, it was already several days later.
. Later I found out that I was drifted dozens of miles away from the dam, and was unexpectedly taken in by a kind-hearted old woman in an unknown small village by the river."
"You are really lucky!"
"This old woman's surname is Yao. She is the biological mother of Yao Shunzhu, who got into trouble tonight and was just arrested. I rested at Grandma Yao's house for several months before I gradually regained consciousness and was able to move around in the fields."
"Why don't you go back to Huaishang?"
"Damn it, why should I go back to Huaishang? I'm just throwing myself into a trap! You may have heard people say that Xiong Jiandong, who everyone thought had died gloriously, found a diary in his office
, was found to have powerful money transactions with Qin Xinjun, and also involved Liu Hanqing, the former general manager of Enyuan Group."
"I understand! You are worried that once you return to Huaishang, not only will you not be able to be a hero, but you will also be investigated by the organization for being suspected of corruption." Hou Yiying understood.
"If I, Xiong Jiandong, am the only one convicted, I have nothing to say. Since Qin Xinjun and Liu Hanqing will be involved again, they will definitely face increased punishment because of my reappearance." Xiong Jiandong further said.
