Although he had considerable power and a godmother who was a deputy**, if it really ca to a murder case, even Zhang Shu wouldn't be able to save him.
So, he was a bit panicked.
He hastily tore off the rice paper from Su Chen's face and tentatively checked for Su Chen's breathing, but felt no sign of it.
Could it be that the person really suffocated to death?
"Captain Gao, could he really be dead?" Xiao Wu looked tense. If initially, he was just cooperating with Gao Qiang to give Su Chen a hard ti, it could be considered negligence, which might only result in a disciplinary action.
But if the person died, then he would be a murderer. Even if just an accomplice, he would still be sentenced!
Although Gao Qiang appeared calm, his heart was also in turmoil. If Su Chen died under his "interrogation," he would surely be held responsible.
No matter how much backing he had, he couldn't bear this accusation. He would lose his promising future and career prospects.
Gao Qiang knew that he couldn't bear this accusation!
So the best solution was to let soone else take the bla!
A now calr Gao Qiang started looking for soone to pin the bla on, and Xiao Wu, who was in the sa room and involved in the "plot" against Su Chen, was the perfect scapegoat.
"Xiao Wu, listen to , Su Chen is dead, and we both are responsible, but you must understand, if we both get charged, no one will be able to help us." Gao Qiang spoke sincerely.
"Captain Gao, what should we do?" Xiao Wu was panic-stricken. He had only been a policeman for a few months and had never faced such a situation. He was terrified. Murder requires a death sentence, and he's a Law Enforcer.
"Xiao Wu, listen to . Only one of us can take the bla, you know? Only if one of us takes all the bla can the other be saved, and only then can we both be safe."
At this mont, even if Xiao Wu was naive, he understood the implication of Gao Qiang's words.
Gao Qiang clearly wanted him to take the fall!
Nebraskat core death carries at least a three-year sentence. His life was just beginning, and he didn't want to be imprisoned inexplicably.
Moreover, from the start, this matter had nothing to do with him. It was just Gao Qiang abusing his power to detain Su Chen in the unmonitored No. 5 interrogation room, resulting in his death.
In this process, he at most was an accomplice, coerced into it, yes! He was coerced!
"Captain Gao, this has nothing to do with . I didn't want to kill him. It was all you, just you." Xiao Wu stepped back two steps from Gao Qiang, muttering.
"Xiao Wu, you must know, everything I just did involved you too. You can't evade responsibility for his death. Either you bear it alone, and I'll try to save you, or if we're both convicted of murder, no one can save you!" said Gao Qiang coldly.
"But how will you clear yourself of suspicion? Both of us were in the room when he died."
"Now, if you stay in the room alone, I'll step out for a while. When I return with others, just assert that he was alive when I left," Gao Qiang stated confidently.
He's in the system, and as long as soone takes the bla, others won't dig deeper.
"But…"
"There's no 'but'. If you can't take the bla, we'll both go to jail. Do you know the consequences? Spending a few years in jail, having your public post stripped, what can you do then? You won't be able to do anything!"
Every word Gao Qiang said pierced Xiao Wu's heart. His face constantly changed expressions, as Gao Qiang pointed out, he had little choice. If he didn't listen to Gao Qiang, the consequences might be even more severe!
"Captain Gao, I'll do as you say, but I need so assurance from you!"
"Okay, what assurance do you want?" Gao Qiang's tone softened upon hearing Xiao Wu's response. He did his best to soothe Xiao Wu; if Xiao Wu took the bla, it was worth making certain concessions.
With Zhang Shu around, and his own abilities, barring any accidents, he could beco the team captain in no ti, with a bright future ahead. But if he had a stain of negligent homicide, he'd never get promoted in his life.
"Give three hundred thousand, and when I get out of jail, ensure I have a stable job," Xiao Wu proposed.
This demand wasn't excessive; Gao Qiang agreed instantly, "Okay, no problem. I'll leave this to you then. I'm stepping out for now."
Gao Qiang didn't want to stay there a minute longer. Just three hundred thousand, he could manage that, and as for when Xiao Wu gets out of jail? Well, he'll just have to wait and see!
Gao Qiang turned to leave the No. 5 interrogation room, but as soon as the door opened, he was stunned.
Standing outside the No. 5 interrogation room was soone he never expected — his godmother, Zhang Shu!
"God—godmother, what brings you here?" Gao Qiang forced a smile.
But the unnatural smile on his face seed odd.
Zhang Shu glanced at Gao Qiang and calmly said, "I just received a call. Soone reported that you were involved in violent law enforcent and improper conduct, so I ca to check."
"Haha, godmother, how could that be? I'm your godson. Don't you trust ?" Gao Qiang still forced a smile.
"I only trust what I see. By the way, did you take soone nad Su Chen to this interrogation room alone?"
Zhang Shu frowned as she looked at the interrogation room door blocked tightly by Gao Qiang.
"Godmother, why don't you sit outside for a mont? I'll let you know as soon as there's a result inside."
Right now, Gao Qiang dared not let Zhang Shu enter the interrogation room, because Su Chen was already dead!
He wasn't sure what kind of relationship Su Chen and Zhang Shu had, but the mory of Zhang Shu slapping him for Su Chen without hesitation was still fresh in his mind.
"Is sothing wrong?" Zhang Shu had an uneasy feeling, could sothing really have happened?
"Move aside!" Zhang Shu shouted.
But Gao Qiang blocked the door to the interrogation room without moving an inch.
"Gao Qiang, I order you to step aside now!"
"Godmother, can we talk privately for a mont?" Gao Qiang hesitated as he looked at the crowd behind Zhang Shu and still suggested it.
"Mind how you address !" Zhang Shu suddenly said coldly, catching Gao Qiang off guard.
He hesitated slightly, then braced himself and said, "Deputy Zhang**, could we talk privately? I have sothing important to discuss with you."
"There's no need. Say it in front of everyone. I don't think your words are anything unspeakable," Zhang Shu replied coldly.
Gao Qiang was speechless. It was precisely because it was unspeakable that he wanted to say it privately. Do I have to tell you in front of everyone that Su Chen accidentally died because of ?
At this mont, Gao Qiang wished he could die!
