That afternoon, Lin Zichen did not stay in the small building, but went to Jiang's house with Lin Mengran. After all, the cooperation between Lin and Jiang's family would continue, and he should make it clear to Jiang Shouwen at this time.
Lin Zichen ordered Huo Qing and others to guard the small building, and Sang Tianlei and Sun Ke left after continuing the interrogation.
The moment he entered the Jiang family's gate, Lin Zichen immediately felt the change. After what happened last night, plus the police processing the corpses, taking records and questioning, which took almost a whole night, the Jiang family was now lifeless.
The two waited in the living room for a while, and Jiang Shouwen walked in with a cane. Compared with yesterday, Jiang Shouwen seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight. At this time, he really looked like a gray-haired old man.
"Master Lin, you are here." Jiang Shouwen's tone was very low, and you could almost imagine how he was feeling now.
"I'm afraid the family owner has been through a lot of trouble this night, right?" Lin Zichen sighed.
Jiang Shouwen slowly shook his head: "This is all evil. Haha, I, Jiang Shouwen, have been cautious and careful in my dealings all my life, but I didn't expect that when I get older... If something like this happened to my son, how could Zhongyan be so confused?
"
As he spoke, Jiang Shouwen's eyes were filled with tears, and his old face looked very sad.
Lin Zichen and Lin Mengran looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
"Master, please take care of yourself." Lin Mengran couldn't talk about cooperation at this time. It would be too unkind for her to bring it up again with Jiang Shouwen like this.
"Hey, it's all my fault. I let go of the group's affairs too much and gave Zhongyan too much trust." After saying that, Jiang Shouwen sighed and raised his hand to wipe his tears. "After all, I'm still too young.
If you seek huge profits in this way, it's too late to regret it now."
Lin Zichen said: "Master, don't blame yourself too much. After all, Jiang Zhongyan has his own opinions. It will be useful if you don't stop him. Just like Peng Hu, you never thought that he would contradict you face to face, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shouwen could only nod his head: "Yes, I regret it very much. If Zhongwei takes over, maybe everything will be different. Although this child is very talented, he is very responsible and will not do anything like Zhongyan."
matter."
"Master, now you have to make this decision. Jiang Zhongyan's crime will definitely be very serious. It is impossible for the Jiang Group to be leaderless." Lin Zichen said.
"Yes, I have already called Zhongwei. He is on a business trip in Dumen and will be back today, but..." After saying that, Jiang Shouwen stood up and knelt directly in front of Lin Zichen.
Seeing this, Lin Zichen and Lin Mengran stood up almost at the same time and helped Jiang Shouwen.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"Yes, Master Jiang, please get up quickly. If you have anything to say to Zichen, please sit down first. After all, you are the elder, and we can't face you like this."
Jiang Shouwen couldn't help crying again and said: "Master Lin, I beg you, can you save Zhongyan? This child is actually very innocent. He really made a mistake this time. As long as he is given a chance, he will
You can definitely do things that are beneficial to society.”
Hearing this, Lin Zichen fell silent. Save Jiang Zhongyan? How? To put it bluntly, Jiang Zhongyan's crime is even punishable by death. He can't destroy all the evidence, right?
"Master, please get up first. This matter is really embarrassing for me."
Jiang Shouwen shook his head and cried loudly. Only at this moment did a father really feel despair, that is, the son he had raised was about to face the most severe sanctions.
Lin Mengran winked at Lin Zichen and said immediately: "Master Jiang, please get up first and at least calm down so that Zichen can think of a solution."
Lin Zichen looked helpless, obviously there was nothing he could do about it.
After hearing these words, Jiang Shouwen stood up with support and said: "General Lin, you have great powers and you must have a way. I, Jiang Shouwen, am willing to give everything."
Lin Mengran said: "Zi Chen, how can Jiang Zhongyan's crime and sentence be reduced in this situation?"
Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "This is all the work of the judicial authority, and it is useless if I say it, but... in fact, if it can be proved that Jiang Zhongyan is not the mastermind in this matter, it is still possible.
But how could that happen... without his consent, how could the theft and sale of Buddha heads happen?"
Lin Mengran could only sigh when he heard this. It was indeed the case. The chairman of the Jiang Group was Jiang Zhongyan. No matter from which point of view, he must be the mastermind.
However, Jiang Shouwen was slightly calmer and said: "Although Zhongyan is young and energetic, he strives to do everything to the extreme, but... I don't believe that he can think of stealing the Buddha's head. General Lin, could it be?
...Peng Hu?"
At this time, Jiang Shouwen naturally would not protect Peng Hu anymore, not only because he contradicted him in person, but also compared with Jiang Zhongyan, Jiang Shouwen certainly wanted to protect his son.
"Peng Hu? Patriarch, do you think...Peng Hu has just influenced Jiang Zhongyan?" Lin Zichen said.
"Of course that's impossible. Zhongyan's character is not weak at all, so he won't be influenced by others. But after all, he is still young, so there is no guarantee that he will be taken advantage of. Moreover... Peng Hu has many contacts with the underground world, so it is inevitable that he will
He came up with such an idea and then used Zhongyan's power to do this." Jiang Shouwen said.
"This may exist, but... it must be supported by evidence, at least Jiang Zhongyan himself must admit it, otherwise it will be just our speculation."
Jiang Shouwen nodded slowly: "I understand this, so please take care of General Lin. After all, Zhongyan has just returned to China, and I don't want his future to be ruined like this."
Lin Zichen secretly sighed, father's love is as great as a mountain, but even if it is proven that Jiang Zhongyan is not the mastermind, he will probably go to jail, and when he comes out, the most beautiful time in his life will be over.
Later, Jiang Shouwen invited Lin Mengran and Lin Zichen to stay at Jiang's house for a casual meal, but considering the atmosphere of Jiang's house, they declined.
After sitting at Jiang's house for more than an hour, Lin Mengran finally didn't bring up work matters. After all, Jiang Shouwen was so pitiful, and she really didn't want to be a cold-blooded person.
After returning to the small building, Lin Mengran went upstairs to rest, while Lin Zichen walked to the living room and asked about the interrogation.
"Zi Chen, we really encountered a tough situation. This Jack is much more difficult to fix than a big beard. His pants were removed and he didn't even say anything. I told him to post the photos online, but it was useless." Sang Tianlei was angry.
road.
"What did he say?" Lin Zichen asked.
"This bastard told me to pass it on, to let Chinese girls see his perfect figure. Damn, I've never seen such a meaty guy!" Sang Tianlei said.
Qin Weier snorted at the side: "You're so stinky and shameless."
Lin Zichen chuckled helplessly: "Forget it, I'll ask him personally, Sun Ke, how are you doing there?"
"Captain, these people all said they were obeying the orders of Jiang Zhongyan and Peng Hu. Jiang Zhongyan's attitude is relatively gentle, but that Peng Hu is very tough. He still doesn't admit it at all. He also said that he didn't know about this matter at all. It was all Jiang Zhongyan himself.
That’s it.” Sun Ke said.
Lin Zichen frowned slightly and thought to himself, this Peng Hu was so desperate that the Jiang family did not satisfy his interests in the end, so they simply refused to admit their fault and blamed Jiang Zhongyan for everything.
The little man.
"Well, Wei'er, you go upstairs and call my sister, and you prepare dinner. Everyone is hungry," Lin Zichen stood up and said, "Jiang Hua, call Jiang Zhongyan to the interrogation room, and I'll talk to him alone.
chat."
"Yes, Captain!"
In the interrogation room, Lin Zichen and Jiang Zhongyan sat face to face at a desk. The two looked at each other speechlessly, but their eyes seemed to contain a lot of information.
"Jiang Zhongyan, I think we need to talk alone."
"Haha, is it necessary? I am already a prisoner, and you still want to show your status as General Lin in front of me?" Jiang Zhongyan smiled bitterly. He was somewhat polite to Sun Ke before, but facing Lin Zichen, this once aloof man
The chairman immediately changed his attitude. After all, it was Lin Zichen who completely destroyed everything he had.
"Actually, I don't think it's necessary. If we hand you over to the police in charge, our mission will be over. However... your father, the Jiang family leader, still entrusts me to talk to you, hoping that your crime and sentence can be minimized.
Of course, all I can do is help you collect some evidence, as for the trial... I can't control it," Lin Zichen said.
"My dad?" Jiang Zhongyan's eyes suddenly became moist. When he was about to face having nothing, not even life, perhaps his father was his only concern.
"Yes, you have no chance to fulfill your filial piety, but if you want to see your father for the rest of your life, you'd better cooperate with me."
Jiang Zhongyan nodded: "If you have anything to ask, just ask, I will tell you."
"How did you think of stealing and selling Buddha heads? By chance? Or did someone remind you?" Lin Zichen said while starting to record.
"It was Uncle Tiger. He introduced Jack to me. Jack said that if China's national treasures were shipped out of the country, they could earn a lot of money. I didn't agree at first, but when Uncle Tiger told me that the price could reach several billion, I was shaken.
.”
"So... Peng Hu gave you the news? And he also introduced you to Jack?" Lin Zichen asked.
"Yes, later I was responsible for negotiating the price with the other party and making decisions, while Uncle Hu was responsible for the specific contacts, including finding someone to steal the Buddha head, and then contacting Jack to receive the goods." Jiang Zhongyan told the truth.
Lin Zichen nodded: "Well, it will be easier if you cooperate like this. Jiang Zhongyan, do you know that there is a big difference between the punishment of the mastermind and the accomplice in a case?"
"You mean..." Jiang Zhongyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Zichen with some gratitude for the first time, "Uncle Tiger is the mastermind?"
Lin Zichen chuckled: "Not necessarily, but knowing this will give me a direction to collect evidence. If it is enough to prove that Peng Hu is the mastermind, then at least... you shouldn't have to die."
After hearing these words, Jiang Zhongyan softened and leaned on the back of the chair, a layer of sweat suddenly soaking through his clothes.
"Now that I think about it... I really want to be taken advantage of." Jiang Zhongyan said a little absentmindedly.
