350: Chapter 350: Using "Bewitching Mind"

"Yes, he has been brought back. The comrades are currently interrogating him, but with little effect. Expert Zhao has gone personally, but I don't know if he can pry his mouth open."

Expert Zhao is an interrogation expert; if he can succeed, that would be for the best.

If even he cannot do it, then we will have to think of another way. Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin even considered the last resort, which is to use stronger measures.

This so-called "stronger measures" is, of course, not torture, but rather withholding water and sleep to cause the opponent's psychological defenses to collapse. Guangdong Province had also used such methods, but they were ineffective. The Criminal Investigation Bureau has experts in this area; just because Guangdong Province couldn't do it doesn't mean the Criminal Investigation Bureau can't.

While the two were talking, the phone on the desk rang. Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin picked up the phone, "I am Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin!"

"Bureau Chief Gu, we should use the stronger measures on him. This guy's counter-interrogation skills are too strong."

"Even Expert Zhao can't do it?"

"Old Zhao hasn't managed to pry his mouth open for the time being."

After finishing the call, Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin's expression was very serious, and he prepared to go to the interrogation room personally.

Qin Chuan had heard the contents of the call clearly and couldn't help but ask, "Bureau Chief Gu, are you going over there yourself?"

"Yes, I am going over there myself. I don't believe I can't pry that guy's mouth open."

"I will go with you to take a look."

Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin nodded. Shortly after, the two entered a large interrogation room and saw several police officers, including two or three in white shirts, all in the middle of interrogating a thin man.

"Bureau Chief Gu!"

"Secretary Qin!"

Everyone stood up one after another, taking the initiative to greet the two.

Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin had a stern look on his face and didn't even say a word, just looking at the man, wishing he could subject him to the ten great tortures, but he knew he couldn't do that.

Qin Chuan's gaze also fell on the man.

On the surface, the man's mental state was very poor; his hair was messy, he had stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look very haggard. However, if one looked closely, one could see the disdain in his eyes.

After taking a glance at the thin man, Qin Chuan said, "Bureau Chief Gu, would you like to let me try? I also have some experience in interrogation."

"Oh, really?"

Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin was slightly surprised, then said, "Anyway, let's treat a dead horse as a live one. Since Qin Chuan wants to try, then let's give it a try."

The man in the interrogation chair looked at Qin Chuan and Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin with disdain. That look seemed to say, "It's useless whoever comes. I won't say a word. If you have the guts, just kill me."

Qin Chuan just smiled, sat in the chief interrogator's seat, looked at the man, and said unhurriedly, "Your name is Liu Donghai."

"Liu Donghai" snorted disdainfully, his eyes even carrying a hint of provocation.

Qin Chuan used the system's "Mind Confusion" function on him. "Liu Donghai, I advise you to honestly confess your problems and tell us everything you know to avoid suffering yourself. These past two days haven't been easy, right? You can't sleep well, and even drinking water is difficult. Why bother? Confess sooner, and you'll be at ease sooner."

Unexpectedly, the expression of "Liu Donghai" fluctuated. He began to appear very conflicted, as if he were undergoing an intense psychological struggle, and then he revealed a look of fear.

"Leader, if I honestly confess my problems, can it count as a voluntary confession?"

Everyone was stunned!

They had been interrogating him for so long, and this guy had been stubborn and unyielding. How did his attitude change as soon as Qin Chuan arrived?

Qin Chuan said, "If you confess all your problems now, we will still count it as a voluntary confession. If you continue to resist, even if you confess later, it will not count as a voluntary confession."

"Okay, okay, then I will talk now."

"I'm actually not Liu Donghai. I am Lin Wenxin, an A-list wanted criminal. In order to evade capture, I got plastic surgery to change my face and joined the current counterfeit money syndicate..."

The interrogation room was silent!

Everyone felt as if a pleasant surprise had descended from the sky, and for a moment, they couldn't react.

Qin Chuan noticed everyone's reaction and reminded them with a smile, "What are you all standing there dazed for? Hurry up and record it."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and record!" Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin said with a bit of excitement.

The subsequent interrogation was very smooth. Whatever Qin Chuan asked, he answered.

After clarifying Lin Wenxin's identity, Qin Chuan also used the system to search, investigating everything about him thoroughly.

The interrogation was also very targeted, selecting valuable questions to ask.

In fact, after checking him, Qin Chuan already knew everything about him clearly, but Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin and the others did not.

Therefore, Qin Chuan specifically asked in detail, which made Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin and the others incredibly pleasantly surprised; the harvest was quite large.

After the interrogation ended, Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin happily sat with Qin Chuan to drink tea, and it was even good tea he brewed himself.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, one cannot judge a person by their appearance. I didn't expect you to be so capable. Even our interrogation experts couldn't pry that guy's mouth open, yet you did it in just a few words."

"It's great now. We have grasped so many clues that I have full confidence in cracking the case within ten days. I will go to Guangdong Province in a while to guide them in solving the case."

"Comrade Qin Chuan, are you interested in accompanying us to Guangdong Province? If we catch more key members of the counterfeit money syndicate, we will still leave it to you to interrogate them."

The harvest just now was huge; a lot of information was something the Criminal Investigation Bureau had not known before.

For example, the counterfeit money syndicate's factory is not in Guangdong Province; every time, the counterfeit money was smuggled in from the sea via fishing boats. Lin Wenxin confessed what he knew, but he also didn't know where the counterfeit money factory was or where these counterfeit notes were produced and manufactured.

Also, he confessed that there are two other key members of the counterfeit money syndicate in Guangdong Province, including their names, whereabouts, and so on.

Why only two? Logically speaking, for such a large counterfeit money syndicate, there should be at least a few, if not more than a dozen, key members within Guangdong Province.

But they are very cunning and basically adopt single-line contacts. Even though Lin Wenxin is one of the key members, he was only in contact with two people, and he didn't know the information of other personnel at all.

To thoroughly solve the case and uproot this counterfeit money syndicate, it is necessary to further arrest their members and obtain more clues from those members.

Facing Bureau Chief Gu Hanlin's invitation, Qin Chuan readily agreed, "That's fine. Then we will go to Guangdong Province together and strive to take down this counterfeit money syndicate as soon as possible."

...

Guangdong Province, Public Security Department.

Director Du Qingbo was losing his temper, while several police officers lowered their heads, looking dejected.

The reason is very simple: they had finally obtained a clue that the people from the counterfeit money syndicate were conducting a transaction, and they prepared to catch them like turtles in a jar. However, this group of people was very cunning, and they only caught two or three small fry, while the big fish escaped.

What use are small fry? His goal is the big fish; only by catching the big fish can there be a breakthrough.
