I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

The lights in the interrogation room were dim and glaring. Wu Tian was handcuffed to the cold interrogation table, his eyes filled with resentment and anger. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan stood before him, their eyes filled with determination and seriousness. At this moment, they knew that the battle between justice and evil had just begun.

"Wu Tian, ​​do you know why you were arrested?" Zhang Wanqing spoke first, her voice calm and powerful.

Wu Tian raised his head, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You arrested the wrong person, I didn't do anything."

"Stop pretending, Wu Tian." Fu Siyuan interrupted him with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "We have evidence. The dog trafficker network you organized and your collusion with Zhao Si will not escape legal punishment."

"Evidence?" Wu Tian sneered, "What evidence do you have?"

"Don't forget, Wang Dashan has explained everything." Zhang Wanqing picked up a document on the table and slammed it in front of Wu Tian. "And the account book we found in the warehouse clearly records every transaction you made."

Wu Tian's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Wang Dashan? You believe what he said? He just wants to shirk responsibility."

"Do you think we can catch you just by his words?" Fu Siyuan sneered, "We have other evidence, such as the dogs you locked up in the warehouse and the call records between you and Zhao Si."

Wu Tian's face turned pale, realizing he had nowhere to hide. But he still tried to resist: "You have no evidence to prove that I caught those dogs. Maybe I was framed."

"Framed?" Zhang Wanqing sneered, "Do you think we would believe such a lame excuse?"

"You can't catch me!" Wu Tian suddenly shouted, a mad look in his eyes, "You have no evidence!"

"Evidence?" Fu Siyuan pulled a photo out of his pocket and slapped it in front of Wu Tian. "We found this in your warehouse. It's a photo of you and Zhao Si trading dog meat. Do you still want to deny it?"

Wu Tian's face instantly turned pale. He looked at the photo, a flash of panic in his eyes. He knew that this photo was enough to nail him to the cross of sin.

"What else do you have to say?" Zhang Wanqing looked at him coldly. "Your criminal behavior is already proven beyond doubt."

Wu Tian was silent for a while, and finally lowered his head, with a hint of despair in his eyes: "Okay, I admit... I caught those dogs, but I had no choice."

"No way?" Fu Siyuan sneered. "For money, you're willing to harm innocent animals and organize a massive criminal network. Is this your 'no way'?"

"I... I just wanted to make money." Wu Tian's voice became increasingly quiet, his eyes filled with regret. "I thought I wouldn't be discovered."

"You think so?" Zhang Wanqing sneered, "Justice will never be absent. Your crimes will eventually be punished by law."

"I...I know I was wrong." Wu Tian raised his head, a hint of pleading in his eyes, "Can you please let me go?"

"Let you go?" Fu Siyuan sneered, "Do you think we will let you go? Your crimes are irreparable. You must pay the price for your actions."

"I...I will cooperate with the investigation." Wu Tian lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly. "I will tell you whatever you want to know."

"That's good." Zhang Wanqing nodded. "First, you need to explain your criminal network in detail, including your accomplices. Where are they?"

"Wu Tian, ​​you must confess everything you know." Zhang Wanqing's voice was calm and firm. "Only then can you hope for leniency."

Wu Tian nodded, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes: "I know, I will tell you."

"First of all, how is your criminal network organized?" Fu Siyuan asked.

Wu Tian was silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "My network is mainly concentrated in the suburbs and several surrounding villages. Each village has a person in charge, who is responsible for catching dogs and then sending them to the warehouse I designate. I have a total of three warehouses, located in the south, north, and west of the city."

"Go on." Zhang Wanqing said coldly.

"Most of my accomplices are from the village. They are in it for the money." Wu Tian continued, "I have written down the names of the leaders of each village. I can give you their contact information."

"Tell me about it." Fu Siyuan picked up a pen and prepared to take notes.

Wu Tian began to reveal the information of his accomplices one by one, including their names, contact information, areas of responsibility, and their specific division of labor. As he confessed, a huge criminal network gradually surfaced.

"What's the specific address?" Zhang Wanqing asked.

"The warehouse in the south of the city is in an abandoned industrial park. You have already been there. The warehouse in the north of the city is on a vacant lot in the suburbs, where there is an abandoned factory building. The warehouse in the west of the city is by the river. It is an old warehouse." Wu Tian said as he drew the approximate location on paper with a pen.

"Are there still dogs in these warehouses?" Li Wei asked, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"There shouldn't be any left." Wu Tian shook his head. "Before I was arrested, someone had already moved the dog away."

"Where to move to?" Fu Siyuan's voice suddenly became stern.

"Move it to Zhao Si's dog meat restaurant." Wu Tian raised his head, a hint of fear in his eyes. "I know you will also check these places."

"What else?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"I also have another channel for selling stolen goods, in the farmers' market in the north of the city. There are people there who specialize in buying dog meat and then reselling it to other places." Wu Tian's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was recalling something.

"Tell me their names and contact information." Zhang Wanqing said, with a tone that left no room for questioning.

"Okay, I'll confess." Wu Tian raised his head, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "I know, I have no way out."

"Apart from these people, are there any other channels for selling stolen goods?" Zhang Wanqing asked.

"There's another place." Wu Tian hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "There's a dog meat processing factory in the east of the city. They specialize in buying dog meat, then canning it and selling it to other places."

"Dog meat processing factory?" Fu Siyuan frowned. "Do you know the exact address?"

"I know. It's in the industrial area in the east of the city. It's easy to find." Wu Tian said.

"Have you contacted them directly?" Li Wei asked.

"Yes, their leader is Liu Dayong, an old friend of mine." Wu Tian sighed, "I spoke to him on the phone before I was arrested."

"Hand over his contact information as well." Zhang Wanqing said.

Wu Tian nodded and wrote down Liu Dayong's phone number and address.
