"It’s not persuasion; it’s provocation."
Facing everyone’s confusion, Luo Fei explained, "Considering the people Li Dapeng killed, it’s not hard to see that his twisted ntality stems from his childhood experiences, with a deep-seated hatred for won who do the sa kind of work as his mother."
"Calling it murder, it’s actually more like venting his anger. I think trying to reform such a person with family affection doesn’t hold much hope. The best approach is still to fight fire with fire, provoking him with the person he hates the most."
"Perhaps in extre anger, an unexpected outco might occur."
Everyone nodded repeatedly as they listened.
"In that case, notify his mother and sister," Zhao Donglai finally decided.
Upon investigation, Li Dapeng’s sister got married to Guangyuan County three years ago. Usually, she takes care of the children and household chores, rarely coming to the city, only having the chance to et Li Dapeng during the New Year.
When she received a call from the police, at first, she thought it was a scam call.
After all, in her mind, Li Dapeng always obeyed the law and never did anything sneaky, so how could he commit a cri?
It wasn’t until the caller repeatedly confird their identity that she finally believed it was the police calling.
In panic, she rushed to the police station at the fastest speed.
Li Juan was only 23 today, but due to the burdens of life she faced early on, she looked much older than her peers, with very rough hands, indicating that her living conditions were not great.
In the recording room, she wore a faded short-sleeve shirt and cried sadly, repeatedly asking what cri Li Dapeng committed.
Zhao Donglai personally received her.
"We can’t reveal much about your brother’s case yet. I can only tell you that he’s currently involved in a murder case."
"But he’s refusing to cooperate with the police investigation, which is not beneficial for him... We called you here in hopes that you could persuade him to confess his cris soon, so he might receive lenient treatnt. Do you understand?"
Actually, there’s a ninety percent chance of the death penalty for what Li Dapeng did.
But Zhao Donglai certainly couldn’t say that. To get Li Juan to cooperate, they had to offer so hope.
Learning that Li Dapeng was involved in a murder case made Li Juan anxious, and she nodded quickly, "Alright, officer, I’ll definitely persuade him."
Seeing this, Zhao Donglai imdiately gave Zhao Hai a look.
"Zhao Hai, take her to see the suspect."
After they left, he quickly ran to his office.
At this mont, in the office, Luo Fei, Liao Xingyu, and several team leaders were gathered around his desk.
On the computer screen in front of them was the surveillance footage from Li Dapeng’s interrogation room.
After a discussion, they concluded that if a police officer were present, it might raise Li Dapeng’s guard, making it harder for Li Juan to persuade him.
So they decided to let the two et alone while they observed via surveillance.
However, to ensure Li Dapeng wouldn’t harm Li Juan, his feet were shackled, and his hands were cuffed to the interrogation chair.
When Li Juan entered, she cried out, "Brother!" upon seeing the situation.
Li Dapeng thought he had misheard, and he raised his head in surprise.
Seeing it was indeed her, his previously flat emotions imdiately fluctuated, "Juan’Er, why did you co?"
"The police notified ... Brother, what’s going on? Why do they say you killed soone? Is there so misunderstanding?"
Having depended on each other since childhood, the siblings shared a deep bond, so upon hearing this, instead of leaving, Li Juan quickly walked up to Li Dapeng, crying and asking.
"Hurry and tell . If you’re truly wronged, I’ll borrow money to hire a lawyer to defend you..."
She naively believed Li Dapeng was innocent.
But Li Dapeng nervously avoided her gaze, his expression sowhat unnatural.
"This has nothing to do with you. Don’t worry about it, just go ho and live well with your brother-in-law’s family. From now on... don’t worry about ."
"Brother... are what the police said true? Did you really kill soone?! Why did you do such a thing?"
"..."
"Brother, please confess. The police officer just said if you cooperate, you might get lenient treatnt."
"You’re still young; you can’t continue making mistakes!"
Li Juan tried to persuade him earnestly, but Li Dapeng grew increasingly impatient.
Though lacking education and legal knowledge, he knew he had killed too many for leniency to be an option, even if he confessed.
The police, exploiting Li Juan’s ignorance, deliberately used her to set him up.
His face darkened as he interrupted Li Juan, "I told you not to worry about this, and stop asking. Go ho!"
"Brother..."
"If you really consider your brother, then leave now, don’t force to get mad."
Knowing he had made up his mind, Li Juan could only leave dejectedly.
In the office, Zhao Donglai watched the situation and sighed after a while.
He hadn’t expected Luo Fei to be right.
Family ties indeed couldn’t sway this guy...
"Looks like we can only rely on Wang Lili now. By the way, Luo Fei, when did she say she’d arrive?"
Wang Lili was the biological mother of Li Dapeng and Li Juan.
"I just called her. She said she’ll buy the next available ticket."
