Chapter 1026 - 959: Elder Brother Respectful, Younger Brother Polite
"How is it going?"
Liu Wenkai entered the empty dormitory next door with a complacent smile, but Da Zhou Zhou Jiantao was still stubbornly resisting.
His deputy, who had also interrogated many cases, although hadn’t extracted anything substantial yet, still confidently said, "Just tough talking, give me a few more hours..."
"No need, Xiao Zhou has already confessed." Liu Wenkai glanced at Da Zhou with a smile, saying, "Whether he confesses or not is neither here nor there—it’s mostly done on our part, the rest will be left for the special case team that will handle it later."
What he said was half true. In terms of benefits, Liu Wenkai had already reaped the most significant gains from this round-up; Zhou Jiantao’s confession was inconsequential at that point.
However, Xiao Zhou had not actually implicated his brother Zhou Jiantao; insistent that he acted alone.
Theoretically, with his testimony, the police could nearly close the case. Although there was a little boy’s testimony claiming there were two perpetrators, the police had not believed him in the previous round of investigation, deeming it a tactic to protect his father.
As for Zhou Jiantao and Zhou Shetao working together, new investigators might not necessarily continue pursuing the matter.
Going out to work in pairs is nothing new, many people go out alone and find companions in other places. Moreover, the Zhou brothers took care of each other, settling down in an unfamiliar city; there is no crime to be found in this itself.
Ultimately, it depends on the diligence of the case investigators. In cases like the Hugjilt case, eyewitnesses were mistakenly treated as perpetrators; now that there’s an actual criminal, pursuing further or not may vary from one special case team to another.
