Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Scoop Out the Heart and See_1

When you and Xian Qianling arrived at the Criminal Police Brigade, Guan Xiong had already been detained alone.

"Captain, Mr. Li."

Inside the interrogation room, Sun Mingyu, who was taking notes, quickly stood up to salute when you entered.

Xian Qianling nodded and asked Sun Mingyu, "Where’s Zhang Zifeng?"

"He’s in the office eating instant noodles. He hasn’t eaten anything since the early morning."

Xian Qianling nodded, understanding the hardship as a criminal detective.

At this moment, a fat man was being held alone in a sealed space with only a black table in front of him and nothing else.

The three of you were separated from him by a wall, which had a pane of glass on it. From the outside, you could clearly see the movements inside, while from the inside, the outside couldn’t be seen.

Xian Qianling glanced at Guan Xiong and asked Sun Mingyu, "Did he confess to anything?"

Sun Mingyu nodded, "In terms of interrogation, Brother Zhang’s experience really shows. This guy was adamant in his denial at first, but after Brother Zhang used some special methods, he spilled everything."

Xian Qianling laughed and said, "Zhang Zifeng may seem unreliable at times, but he’s been dealing with criminals for four or five years, and he has accumulated quite a bit of experience."

Sun Mingyu continued, "Guan Xiong is also an insurance salesman, but his performance has always been poor, probably because of his appearance. Very few people trust him or buy the insurance he sells, so he has always been earning just the base salary, living a strained life."

You casually picked up a chair to sit down, crossing your legs and said, "That’s normal, because this is a world that judges by appearances. With his looks, selling insurance is indeed tough. However, I’m curious, if his performance is so poor, why doesn’t the company manager fire him? There are so many university graduates now, it would be too easy to find someone better than Guan Xiong."

At your words, Xian Qianling and Sun Mingyu exchanged glances.

"There seems to be a story behind your words," Xian Qianling sat down next to you.

You rolled your eyes, "Of course, trust between people in this world is too low. Many times, feelings of inferiority, confusion and pain can completely change a person’s character, making him become more extreme, eventually leading to his downfall."

Standing up, you walked toward the wooden door of the sealed space.

"What are you going to do?" Xian Qianling asked.

"Have a chat with him," you said as you opened the wooden door and walked in. Xian Qianling thought for a moment, but then slowly sat back down, knowing that some things were better discussed between men.

The room was dark, which was your first impression upon entering the interrogation room.

Guan Xiong’s head was hanging down, and only when someone came in did he raise his head, looking at you listlessly.

You pulled over a chair and sat across the table from Guan Xiong.

He was wearing a big black down jacket, which made his already rotund figure look even more swollen; his hair was also very messy, greasy, and hanging in strands, as if he hadn’t washed it for days.

His complexion was uneven, and he was looking at you with a somewhat disdainful gaze.

Seeing the mockery in his eyes, you laughed, "Let me guess what you’re thinking now. You must be thinking that I only got into the police academy because of my family background and after graduating, my parents arranged for me to join the police force. That someone like me is just a parasite to the state, and now I’m sitting in front of you, ready to spout some ****, right?"

Guan Xiong’s disdainful look suddenly turned into surprise, and he said sternly, "Hmph, are you a psychology student or what?"

You smiled, "Mr. Guan, before we talk, let me introduce myself. My last name is Li, and I am currently just an ordinary student at Jiangzhe University. By the way, I have no so-called family background, and I got into Jiang University entirely on my own merit."

"Hmph, who would believe that?" Guan Xiong scoffed, "If you’re not a detective, how can you sit here?"

"Do you think I want to be here? You’ve been to school, do you know how painful it is to be dragged out of bed by a crazy woman early on a winter morning?" Ignoring Guan Xiong’s surprised expression, you continued, "Actually, I didn’t want to come in either, but I found something in Lin Fang’s bedroom before, and I thought it necessary to give this thing to you, otherwise the story wouldn’t come full circle."

"Hmph, who wants that bitch’s things!"

"Mr. Guan, you’re an educated elite, and even though you seem very down-and-out now, everyone encounters most of life’s problems, and you’re not the only one who has suffered."

"Quit preaching to me!" Guan Xiong banged the table with his handcuffed hands.

"OK!" You shrugged, still smiling, "Actually, I also want to hit you, do you know why? Because I can’t stand you, can’t stand you one bit!"

"See, that’s the attitude you people have!" Guan Xiong suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter filled with anger and hatred toward life’s injustices and the cold-hearted society.

"Stop laughing now, or I might actually hit you." With that, you took out a pink notebook from your pocket. The notebook was quite thick but looked somewhat old, as if it hadn’t been used every day or had seen some years.

Guan Xiong glanced at the notebook and asked, "What is this?"

"It’s for you, but before I give it to you, you have to answer a question for me."

"Hmph!" Guan Xiong turned his head away, "I’ve said all that needs to be said."

"I’m not a cop; I don’t care about your criminal acts. What I care about is why you were controlled by the demon."

"I don’t know what you’re talking about?"

You smiled, and at that moment, a talisman paper flew out of your pocket on its own and landed in the palm of your hand, instantly turning into a flame.

Seeing the flame burning in the palm of your hand while you were still smiling, Guan Xiong was startled and pointed at you, "So it was you!"

"Surprised, are you?" You tugged at your lips, "I’m surprised too. I didn’t expect you to be insane enough to harm your ex-girlfriend."

"She had it coming!"

"Really, I think you’re quite despicable." You placed the pink notebook on the table, "Do you know what’s written inside?"

"I’m not interested!"

"You’ll be interested because once you read its contents, you’ll wish you could dig out your own heart to see if it’s black and rotten!"
