Chapter 434 Ten Years (Close the case, ask for a monthly ticket!)
Fauble New York Office, Criminal Investigations Division.
trial room.
Zhou Tiancheng was handcuffed to the interrogation chair.
The observation room next door was surrounded by a group of people, all of whom came to see the famous Southeast Asian gambling king.
"Crackling..."
The door of the observation room was pushed open, and Negan walked into the observation room.
"Hey, boss."
"Director." Everyone greeted.
Nigan nodded, seemingly in a good mood, looking at Zhou Tiancheng in the interrogation room through the one-way glass.
"Luke, you and Louise are in charge of the interrogation."
Luke was a little surprised.
Michael is envious and jealous, this boss is too partial, what about me? And me! And me!
However, thinking that Zhou Tiancheng was captured by Luke, he lost his temper.
New York is obviously their territory, but a foreigner caught the suspect.
In the interrogation room, Zhou Tiancheng leaned on the recliner with his eyes closed, wondering if he was reminiscing about the past.
"Creak..." A door slammed, and Luke and Louise walked into the interrogation room.
Zhou Tiancheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Luke and Louise and asked, "How did you find me?"
"You sent someone to kill Zhang Qilong, right?"
Zhou Tiancheng said helplessly, "Two days, as long as you give me two more days, you will never catch me."
Luke said, "You found this plastic surgery clinic through Zhang Qilong's relationship, and you were worried that he would leak the news, so you killed him to silence him."
"Who is Zhang Qilong? I don't know the person you mentioned." Zhou Tiancheng's tone was calm, without much fluctuation on his face.
Louis said, "Now Southeast Asian countries are looking for you, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, these countries all want to extradite you.
We can keep you in the United States for interrogation, or we can hand you over to any of the above countries.
You have a truckload of criminal files in these countries, and you should know exactly what that means. "
Zhou Tiancheng smiled, "If I plead guilty, I will be tried in the United States, as if I don't need to go to jail."
Louis said, "I think it is necessary to remind you that New York State has suspended the execution of the death penalty.
And, as long as you cooperate with the investigation, we can turn you into a tainted witness and get you a nice plea deal. "
"You don't seem to know much about Southeast Asia. Malaysia has abolished the death penalty, and Myanmar hasn't carried out the death penalty for many years. It's not just the United States that pays attention to human rights."
"Then hand you over to those countries that have the death penalty. In addition, even if these countries do not have the death penalty, their law enforcement transparency is far from being comparable to that of New York.
Your fate may be worse than the death penalty, so I don’t need to popularize it. "
“As far as I know, the transparency of law enforcement in the United States is not very high.”
Louis said, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I'll give you five minutes to think about it for yourself."
Zhou Tiancheng made up his mind very quickly, maybe he had already thought about it before he was arrested, "I want to trade."
Luke replied, "Yes, but the premise of the transaction is that you have to plead guilty first."
"Deal." Zhou Tiancheng knew what Fobole really wanted.
Zhou Tiancheng is different from ordinary suspects. His real bargaining chip is the hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth he has hidden.
"You're right, I know you can find out the relationship between me and Zheng Lagong, so I didn't find the plastic surgery clinic through his channel, but found it through a gangster named Zhang Qilong, which is a rival gang of the Feilong Gang."
Luke struck while the iron was hot, "How did you know Zhang Qilong?"
"I don't know him, he was introduced by Song Jinbao, and he was also killed by Song Jinbao.
I just told Song Jinbao to find a 'clean' plastic surgery clinic. "
"How did Song Jinbao kill him?"
"I have no idea.
If I have to worry about such a trivial matter, then what else do I need him to do. "
Luke marked it in his notebook, "Accountant Ma Jiansheng was also sent to be killed by you?"
"I know you have caught Mo Shaoxiong, he should have told you."
"I still want to hear from you."
"That's right, I asked Mo Shaoxiong to kill the accountant Ma Jiansheng.
He knows too much. As long as he lives, my hidden assets will be exposed sooner or later.
He must die. "
"Describe how the accountant Ma Jiansheng was killed."
"You think I'll do it myself?"
Zhou Tiancheng snapped his nails and said, "You should ask Mo Shaoxiong, I thought he was a good murderer, but you still caught him.
Don't tell me he hasn't confessed yet, or I'll look down on you guys. "
Luke couldn't keep asking, so he changed the subject, "Tell me about Zheng Lagong, how did he die?"
"Zheng Lagong was also killed by Mo Shaoxiong."
"Zheng Lagong helped you smuggle to New York, I owe you a kindness, why did you instigate Mo Shaoxiong to kill someone?"
"After Mo Shaoxiong killed Zheng Lagong, I did give him a sum of money, but if I ordered it, it would be a bit unfair."
"Don't you think this sentence is contradictory? If you didn't order it, why did you give Mo Shaoxiong money?"
Zhou Tiancheng yawned and said, "Actually, the one who really wanted to kill Zheng Lagong should be his good 'helper' Mo Shaoxiong. I was just blackmailed by Mo Shaoxiong in disguise."
"Why did Mo Shaoxiong kill Zheng Lagong?"
"It's a long story. Zheng Lagong and Mo Shaoxiong were originally members of Thai gangs. About 12 or 13 years ago, Zheng Lagong suddenly wanted to come to New York to develop.
At that time, I also asked him why, but he didn't say.
He brought a group of men to New York, and the men and territory left in Thailand were handed over to Mo Shaoxiong.
Not long after he left, I heard that the leader of another gang led people to sweep Mo Shaoxiong's place.
Only then did I know that Zheng Lagong had offended the boss of another local gang, so he ran to New York.
He said he left the territory to Mo Shaoxiong, but in fact he asked Mo Shaoxiong to cut off his heir.
Zheng Lagong has run away, how could Mo Shaoxiong be the opponent of another gang leader, not only the territory was robbed, but also hunted around.
Mo Shaoxiong had no choice but to run to me for help.
I gave him a sum of money, and he also ran to New York to join Zheng Lagong. In fact, the relationship between the two has already planted hidden dangers. "Zhou Tiancheng said a little dry mouth, "Can I have a drink?" No coffee, just water. "
Luke pressed the microphone switch on the table, "Bring in a glass of water."
Not long after, an agent brought in a glass of water. Zhou Tiancheng moistened his throat and continued, "Of course, this matter has passed for a long time. Even if Mo Shaoxiong is dissatisfied, he will not kill people because of this again. The reason why Shao Xiong ordered the killer was because he discovered that Zheng Lagong had become an informant for the New York police.
This made Mo Shaoxiong somewhat unacceptable. The boss he had followed for half his life turned out to be an undercover police officer. It was a blow to him too much, and it was also related to his own safety.
He was afraid that Zheng Lagong would sell himself to the New York police, and he was even more worried that Zheng Lagong's identity would be discovered by the Feilong Gang, and he would not be able to gain a foothold in the gang.
The relationship between him and Zheng Lagong is too close, even if he says that he has nothing to do with the New York police, it is impossible for the gang members to believe it.
For him, Zheng Lagong's death is the best solution. "
Luke asked, "So it wasn't Mo Shaoxiong you were looking for, but he offered to kill Zheng Lagong?"
"Exactly.
Mo Shaoxiong came to me and said that Zheng Lagong was an informant of the New York police. I didn't believe it at first, but he showed a photo of Zheng Lagong's joint.
He also said that Zheng Lagong told the police that I had arrived in New York, and that he might betray my whereabouts at any time.
I was worried that he was testing me, so I didn't agree to him right away.
Then, he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zheng Lagong. Since coming to New York to join the Dragon Gang, the two of them have not developed very well.
Zheng Lagong has been around for so many years, but he is only a deputy hall master with no real power, let alone Mo Shaoxiong.
Mo Shaoxiong regretted coming to New York to join Zheng Lagong.
New and old hatred combined, he decided to kill Zheng Lagong, and pointed out Zheng Lagong's threat to me.
Suggest that we get rid of Zheng Lagong together, if we have money, we can contribute money.
To put it bluntly, this **** wants to extort a sum of money from me in the name of killing Zheng Lagong. "
Luke said, "You don't look like an easy blackmailer."
Zhou Tiancheng smiled, "It's just some small money, it's nothing to me, this is not my territory after all, I'm also worried that Mo Shaoxiong will jump over the wall in a hurry.
Moreover, I also have some things that Mo Shaoxiong needs to deal with, such as killing the accountant Ma Jiansheng, he knows my hidden assets, and he must be eliminated.
And it is inconvenient for Song Jinbao to do this. He knows the whereabouts of these assets better than Ma Jiansheng. He will be vigilant, and I don't want to irritate him.
So, Mo Shaoxiong is more suitable to come, the two of us are mutually beneficial.
Killing Zheng Lagong is considered a certificate of honor, so I feel relieved to let him do things. "
"Where is Zheng Lagong's body?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested.
Mo Shaoxiong wants Zheng Lagong to die more than I do, I don't need to doubt the truth.
"Where is Song Jinbao? Isn't he your confidant? Why did you kill him?"
Zhou Tiancheng raised his head and looked at the roof, "I wanted to kill him for a long time, it should be almost ten years.
To be exact, I sent him to New York just to find an opportunity for Zheng Lagong to kill him. "
"You are so powerful in Southeast Asia, why don't you do it there if you want to kill him, isn't it more convenient?"
Zhou Tiancheng smiled, "Killing others is a minor matter, but saving face is a major matter.
Everyone knows that he is my confidant. If he is dead, if I don't track him down, what will my subordinates think? Even if it is to win over my subordinates, I still want to find the murderer who killed Song Jinbao.
I can't catch myself.
In New York, I don’t have so many scruples. I can just find someone to take the place of the dead, and my brothers in Southeast Asia won’t know about it. "
"Why did you kill him?"
"This is the second reason. I can't let people know the reason for killing him." Zhou Tiancheng shrugged and laughed at himself,
"However, there is no need to hide now, give me a cigarette, and I will tell you."
Luke lit a cigarette and handed it to Zhou Tiancheng.
Zhou Tiancheng took two puffs, "Huazi, you actually smoke this kind of cigarette."
"From a friend." To be precise, Luke took it from his father's house.
"You have Chinese descent."
Luke said in Chinese, "Yes, my surname is Li.
But now is not the time to talk about fellow villagers, let’s talk about you and Song Jinbao. "
"Hehe, I can't tell, you're also a gossip."
Zhou Tiancheng took a puff of cigarettes, and his tone was flat, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "That **** got together with my ex-wife Chen Yue, and made her belly bigger, that girl named Chen Ning.
Chen Yue thought I didn't know, but in fact, I noticed from the very beginning that Chen Ning didn't look like me at all, but Song Jinbao.
Who doesn't recognize their own children? "
Louis asked curiously, "Then why did you endure it for so long? What special background does Chen Yue have?"
"No.
I was so angry that I thought about killing them.
But one is my wife and the other is my confidant. If they both die together, the fool will know what happened.
I would be a laughingstock throughout Southeast Asia.
From being the gambling king to becoming the cuckold king.
So I didn't rush to do it, I was going to send Song Jinbao to New York, and kill Song Jinbao first.
Chen Yue is no threat to me, I can kill her at any time. "Zhou Tiancheng flicked the soot and snorted.
"But then something happened and I changed my mind.
Internet gambling is very profitable, but it is illegal, and it is not easy to clean up.
As my business got bigger and bigger and I controlled more and more money, this sense of crisis became more obvious.
I have to think about the way out in the future.
The best result is to be able to successfully clean up, go ashore, and become a successful businessman; I have been working hard in this direction, but it is difficult, I feel that I have been targeted.
If you can't get ashore successfully, there is only one way to run.
But I know very well that I have made too much money these years, and I have benefited too many people. This group of people will stare at me. They will not only drain my wealth, but also kill me.
I don’t want to hide for the rest of my life. The best way is to let the world think I’m dead, and live a new life with another identity.
It was for this reason that Song Jinbao was able to live for so long. "
"You have been laying out this game for ten years?"
"Roughly the same.
I'm like a lame fat sheep, too many people are staring at me.
It is impossible to deceive everyone about the destruction of corpses and traces. At least it is difficult to deceive Fobole and the police. You will still find me.
And what you believe in most is science and evidence. I will give you evidence, the most accurate evidence, DNA identification.
Chen Yue is my ex-wife. Everyone thinks that Chen Ning is my daughter. If I die and the body cannot be identified, the police will definitely look for Chen Ning for DNA testing.
So, Chen Ning's biological father, Song Jinbao, is the best scapegoat.
I have made a lot of preparations for this, far more than you imagined.
First of all, I want to make sure that Song Jinbao will not betray me for the time being.
Secondly, I asked Song Jinbao to find a shooter. The role of this shooter is very important.
When everything was ready, I deliberately went to Chen Yue's restaurant and killed Song Jinbao that night, making his body unrecognizable.
I used Song Jinbao's mobile phone to call the gunmen and asked them to kill Chen Yue.
This is a crucial move.
If the police already know the identity of Chen Yue, except Chen Yue, no one will know that Chen Ning is Song Jinbao's daughter, not my own daughter.
The second point, if the police did not find Chen Yue, they would not use Chen Ning's DNA for comparison. If I killed Chen Yue, the police would definitely find out Chen Yue's real identity and link the two cases together. Together.
Then compare it with Chen Ning's DNA to confirm the truth of my death.
At the same time, the police will issue a warrant for Song Jinbao.
And I've had plastic surgery and lived with a new identity, all of which have nothing to do with me. "
Luke nodded, "Your plan is amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment, but I was still caught by you."
"That's because you met me."
Zhou Tiancheng smiled and said, "Do you know Wang Po?"
"I'm not selling melons, I'm serious."
"Okay, winner and loser, you are the winner."
"Also, I have another question." Luke took out a photo of his father Li Zhaofeng, "Do you know him?"
Zhou Tiancheng looked at the photo, "It looks familiar, so I can't remember it. But what I can be sure of is that I didn't let anyone kill him."
"Think again, he's an accountant."
"By the way, some time ago, in order to deal with some assets, I wanted to ask an accountant for help, and he was one of the candidates.
Song Jinbao approached him, but he refused. "
"Then what?"
"There is no more. A twisted melon is not sweet. If he doesn't want to do it, I will hire other people. Anyway, I have money, and someone will always be tempted."
"Did you send someone to take revenge on him?"
"I'm not a murderer, this kind of small role can't affect me, will you have trouble with an ant?"
"Where is Song Jinbao?"
"He didn't need to do this, at least I didn't give a similar order, and it was completely unnecessary."
Luke frowned slightly. Was it just an accident that his father was hit by a car?
Or is there another reason?
Zhou Tiancheng's expression didn't look like he was lying, and this time and place were not suitable for further inquiries. Luke changed the subject, "OK, let's talk about your hidden assets."
"Hehe, I'm tired. How about we talk another time?"
Zhou Tiancheng is a smart man, he knows that his crimes cannot escape the investigation of Fobo Le, and even if he does not admit the murder in New York, the things he committed in Southeast Asia before are enough to be sentenced to death several times.
Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you plead guilty or not, and it’s not that bad.
Those hidden assets are the most important, and they are also his life-saving means, which are related to his life for the rest of his life.
"Crackling..."
The door of the conference room opened.
Negan walked into the interrogation room, "Let me talk to you."
"Who are you?"
"Head of the New York office of Foboller."
"OK, I suddenly don't feel tired anymore." Zhou Tian established his attitude again.
Negan said to Luke and Louise on the side, "Pour a cup of coffee for Mr. Zhou, we may talk for a long time."
Luke and Louise left the interrogation room.
Next door, Michael also led people out of the observation room. It was not convenient for them to watch as the bosses were talking.
Michael suggested, "How about going out for a drink? This is the third time I've invited you."
Luke laughed, "Your treat?"
"certainly."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Luke glanced at the interrogation room again, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
Zhou Tiancheng is also considered a character.
Ten years of green hats, ten years of forbearance, and ten years of planning are only for the present.
It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation, after all, it was a bad move.
