The interrogation lasted all day.

The next day, Qiu Ke, an interrogation officer from the Criminal Police Brigade of Changler City Bureau, accompanied by Meng Chengbiao, an interrogation expert from Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team, arrived at the office of the brigade director to report, "There’s something off about this suspect."

"Off in what way?" Director Lang Heng, who seemed as carefree as an antelope enjoying the lush grass, raised his ears alertly upon hearing Qiu Ke’s words, as if he had sensed the stench of a lion pack.

"Xu De has been consistently claiming that the victim fell into the fishpond by accident. After repeated questioning, his story hasn’t changed much," Qiu Ke took a breath, sat down in front of Lang Heng, his expression somber and emotional.

"The suspect doesn’t want to identify the scene?" Lang Heng asked.

Meng Chengbiao added from the side: "We haven’t reached that step yet. Xu De is admitting guilt, but the explanation of the murder process is too sloppy and doesn’t match the facts at the crime scene. There’s a big problem with this part."

Lang Heng sat up straighter, first chuckling: "Don’t be in a hurry. A lying suspect, isn’t that business as usual? It’s not worth fussing over."

"The problem is, the lie he’s told is too outrageous," Qiu Ke lightly tapped the desk with his hand: "The victim was tied up, a stone was attached to her, and she was sunk into the fishpond. As for accidentally falling into the water... it’s a ridiculously weak lie. After interrogating him repeatedly, I feel this guy doesn’t seem to be pretending."

Lang Heng’s expression suddenly became serious: "What are you suggesting? Did he voluntarily mention anything about Cai Tingxun’s cause of death or other details?"

Qiu Ke now confirmed that Lang Heng understood and slightly shook his head, saying: "No."
