Chapter 1099 - 1030: Retrieval
"Zhang Bing, nicknamed Ghost Li... do you know what you’ve done wrong?" Meng Chengbiao blew on his tea leaves, pretending to be indifferent.
His mission was to interrogate Zhang Bing as quickly as possible, both to provide Jiang Yuan with more clues and to expedite the submission of evidence, freeing up space for the next suspect.
Zhang Bing sat upright, the interrogation chair creaking loudly, and flashed a forced smile, "Sir, ever since I finished my last sentence, I’ve truly turned over a new leaf. My wife says I’ve been diligent about contributing to society, I stay out of trouble now, my health has improved too, and my eyes radiate positive energy."
"Your tone is decent, but your attitude about confessing is problematic," Meng Chengbiao looked up at Zhang Bing. "Do you want to reconsider?"
"Sir, I swear I’ve mended my ways," Zhang Bing shook his head, adding, "I have a courier shop now, like those Rookie Stations, and I’m earning a good income every month. I’m entirely self-reliant."
"Zhang Bing." Meng Chengbiao’s voice turned heavy.
Zhang Bing straightened up again with a smile, "Sir..."
"Our informant, the Ape, has already talked. What nonsense are you trying to spin here?" Meng Chengbiao set his cup down with a soft "bang."
Zhang Bing jolted, visibly shaken, and tried to feign ignorance, "Who’s the Ape?"
"Are you seriously trying to play cat-and-mouse with our task force?" Meng Chengbiao’s faint smile shattered Zhang Bing’s defenses instantly.
