Chapter 1138 - 1069 Tiger Vanguard
"Pan Tianlei, repeat what you said earlier to Captain Jiang." The interrogation officer from the Changyang City Bureau spoke firmly, adopting a high-pressure approach.
Pan Tianlei was a chubby man in his thirties, with rolls of flesh on his neck trembling as he sweated profusely despite the air conditioning. He said in a low voice, "I honestly don’t know much. It’s just that... Lu Jianchun was quite infamous in our area when we were growing up. Many people from outside factories came asking, ’Where’s Lu Jianchun?’ just to challenge him one-on-one. After he won a few times, we started calling him ’Head Soldier’."
"Leader, as in the one in charge?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Yes, he also led us to fight back. His nickname outside became ’Tiger Head Soldier, Tiger Vanguard!’ Pan Tianlei spoke with a touch of nostalgia.
"A minor gangster who made a name for himself more than a decade ago," Meng Chengbiao, sitting beside Jiang Yuan, commented. Though skilled at interrogations, he rarely had opportunities to conduct them in Changyang. This was part of the reason he proactively transferred from the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment to work under Jiang Yuan, seeking opportunities.
And indeed, Meng Chengbiao had found his chance.
During interrogations, Jiang Yuan showed a clear preference for Meng Chengbiao, keeping him by his side at all times.
Pan Tianlei, seated within the interrogation chair, swallowed nervously and said, "By the time he got to high school, he was famous for fighting. Later, street thugs started reaching out to him, and he even injured someone. But since he was underage, he was let off and faced no repercussions. After that, he fought less often."
"Yet there’s no record," Liu Jinghui straightened up abruptly. Even if he was underage, injuring someone should have left some form of documentation or file.
"I heard someone smoothed it over for him," Pan Tianlei muttered softly.
