Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take that short man to the interrogation room!"

Li Dawei snapped out of his daze and agreed.

"Okay, Master."

So he hurried to the arrest room at the back to interrogate the short man.

Wu Mingcheng watched Li Dawei's retreating figure and said to Chen Xincheng,

"Uncle Chen, actually, aside from being a bit reckless, Dawei is quite good, and very clever."

Chen Xincheng said helplessly.

"If he had half your ability, no, even a third of your ability, I'd be incredibly grateful."

After listening, Wu Mingcheng laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha, it's not that bad."

Chapter 309 Interrogation of the Short Man

So, Wu Mingcheng and Chen Xincheng headed towards the police station's interrogation room.

After they arrived at the interrogation room, Li Dawei and Sun Qiancheng had already brought the short man who had been held in solitary confinement into the interrogation room.

At this moment, behind the mirror in the interrogation room, Wang Shouyi, Gao Chao, Cheng Hao, Ye Wei, and other leaders from the institute were observing Wu Mingcheng's interrogation.

Although they said they were giving Wu Mingcheng full authority to handle the case,

However, I was still a little uneasy without keeping an eye on him, especially since Wu Mingcheng had only been with the institute for a short time.

Upon seeing Wu Mingcheng enter, the short man hurriedly inquired,

"Officer, how is it? Can you show me leniency?"

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"As long as you don't hide anything from us and actively cooperate with us, rest assured, we will definitely treat you leniently."

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, the short man immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of a lull in their conversation, Chen Xincheng said to Li Dawei,

"16, don't talk nonsense later, just take good notes, okay?"

Li Dawei nodded in agreement immediately.

"Okay, I get it now,"

Immediately afterwards, Wu Mingcheng, Chen Xincheng, and Li Dawei sat down opposite the short man.

Wu Mingcheng spoke up,

"Next, we will conduct a formal interrogation of you, and you must answer truthfully,"

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Xincheng beside him.

Chen Xincheng immediately understood, and he began asking basic questions such as gender, age, and name.

After that, Chen Xincheng handed the reins back to Wu Mingcheng and began to get down to business.

Wu Mingcheng asked,

"I'm asking you, besides the five of you, does your theft gang have any other accomplices?"

The short man shook his head and said,

"They're gone. Only the five of us are left."

Throughout his answer, Wu Mingcheng carefully observed the short man's expressions and movements to confirm that he was not lying.

He continued to ask,

"So who among you orchestrated and planned this theft?"

I'm very curious, there are so many wealthy people in Zhuzhou City, how did you manage to target Wu the Corrupt Official?

Upon hearing this, the short man thought for a moment and then replied,

"It was that big guy who organized us; he used to be an employee of the coal mining group."

However, for some reason, he offended Wu Da Tan and was subsequently fired from the coal industry group.

Following his words, Wu Mingcheng continued,

"So, this big guy harbored a grudge against Wu Datang and decided to take revenge on him, right?"

The short man nodded and said,

"Yes, he gathered us together, saying he could help us make a fortune."

He also told us that Wu Datang was a public official, so even if we robbed his house,

He didn't dare call the police at all; he could only swallow his anger and suffer in silence.

Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly at this moment. He had to admit, this big guy was quite cunning.

Wu's embezzled money certainly couldn't be made public; if he was robbed, he could only suffer in silence.

He spoke again.

“Continue with the story,”

Seeing this, the short man continued,

"He had been leading us on reconnaissance trips for the past few days to determine Wu Datang's movements."

We followed him for several days and discovered that he frequently visited the upscale Fuli Jiangwan community in Zhuzhou City.

Later, after a detailed investigation, we discovered that Fuli Jiangwan was his mistress's house.

Therefore, after extensive investigation, we decided to target that area for theft.

Then, a few of us chose a quiet time of day and sneaked in. Sure enough, we stole a lot of valuables.”

Wu Mingcheng raised his head, looked at him, and asked,

"Besides the two boxes of cash that you didn't have time to take from the scene, what else did you move before?"

The short man thought for a moment before speaking.

"There are also dozens of gold bars, a lot of American banknotes, some watches, diamond necklaces, etc. The two boxes of cash in the back are only a small part,"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng was immediately shocked.

This Wu, the corrupt official, truly lives up to his reputation as the general manager of a state-owned enterprise; it seems he must have embezzled a great deal of money over the years.

Not to mention Chen Xincheng and Li Dawei, who were also dumbfounded. The two boxes of banknotes were only a small part of the total.

Perhaps noticing Wu Mingcheng and the others' expressions, the short man continued,

Even so, we didn't empty Wu Datan's house.

He also had gold and banknotes in his house; there was so much that we simply couldn't move it all.”

Upon hearing the short man's words, the group felt a chill run down their spines; none of the five of them had managed to empty Wu Da Tan's safe.

This shows how much money Wu Da had at home and how enormous the amount he embezzled was.

However, that was beyond their jurisdiction; everything was left to their superiors to handle.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng continued to ask,

"Where did you guys move the rest of the money?"

The short man hesitated for a long time before speaking.

Wu Mingcheng shook his head slightly. It seemed that this short man still harbored some wishful thinking.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng couldn't help but speak up, adding fuel to the fire.

"You need to think this through. You've already taken the first step, and if you try to hide it now, all your previous efforts will be wasted."

Chapter 310 Special Methods

Seeing Wu Mingcheng's move, Wang Shouyi and the others watching from behind the mirror nodded in approval.

When a criminal suspect is hesitant, they can appropriately guide him.

After hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, the short man considered for a moment and then said,

"We temporarily hid it in a house in the village, planning to take the money and try to smuggle ourselves out of the country after all five of us got away,"

Seeing that the short man's words were ambiguous, Wu Mingcheng spoke directly,

"Don't try to play tricks on me, just tell me the exact address,"

The short man then spoke.

"In the 23rd household just inside the village entrance of Beige Village in Nanqiao Town, we hid our money inside the stove."

When Li Dawei saw that Wu Mingcheng had successfully extracted the address, he was immediately overjoyed.

At this moment, he looked at Chen Xincheng and Wu Mingcheng beside him with a smile, wanting to exchange a glance with them in celebration.

As a result, he found the two of them sitting there expressionless, and quickly wiped the smile off his face as well.

This scene was witnessed by Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, Gao Chao, and others behind the mirror.
