South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

Chapter 289: Being Monitored

But he didn't have the face to say anything to Liu Jun, because the main responsibility this time still lay on him. Why did he have to go with Song Zhiguo? How dare he let Li Hongjun contact others when he knew there was a traitor inside?

Tian Hongyi's words were definitely meant to threaten Li Hongjun, telling him not to talk nonsense, as this would bring him a lot of trouble.

If nothing unexpected happens, Li Hongjun should be the only one who knows Tian Hongyi's identity, and everyone else should be unaware of it. In other words, the breakthrough can only be made from Li Hongjun.

In fact, Yuan Mu couldn't care much about Tian Hongyi's identity. After all, his identity was there. Even if the truth was found out, he couldn't do anything to Tian Hongyi. At most, he would just be stripped of his position as deputy team leader of the supervision group.

But this Tian Hongyi was fucking playing tricks on him, again and again, which made Yuan Mu very unhappy. Was it necessary to stay in Kyoto for so long?

Moreover, he really sneered at the white glove under Tian Hongyi. There are many ways to make money, but he chose this way that harms the people. Of course, maybe Tian Hongyi did not intend to do so, but this is the fact now.

Okay, you Tian Hongyi want to play with me, right? I'm not afraid of you, so I'll let you go back to Kyoto in disgrace!

Don't you want to keep yourself out of trouble? But I won't let you. I'll expose you. Let's see who will be embarrassed in the end!

"Come on! Follow me in!" Yuan Mu waved to Liu Jun and walked into the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Li Hongjun was handcuffed and leaning on the interrogation chair with his eyes closed, but a look of despair and unwillingness could be seen on his face.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Yuan Mu sat at the interrogation table and knocked on the table, attracting Li Hongjun's attention.

"I've accepted it all. Don't bother me. Just ask me if you want to know something!" Li Hongjun said very calmly.

"Wow! Your awareness is so high?" Yuan Mu said with a smile on his face.

"I know there's no way to escape this time, and there's nothing I can do to resist. It's better to just do it quickly. If you guys can solve the case quickly, I can have some peace of mind." Li Hongjun also laughed, but his smile looked like a wry smile no matter how you looked at it.

"Okay, then tell me, why do you want to enter this industry?" Yuan Mu was not in a hurry and simply chatted first.

"It's nothing. My family grows vegetables. Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I helped my family sell vegetables. Later, the wind blew and we couldn't sell the vegetables. We were not even allowed to grow vegetables. Those people dug up my vegetable garden!" When talking about this, Li Hongjun's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Later, the wind died down and the business was reopened. My family continued to sell vegetables, but we were harassed every few days and our business could not continue. I swore at that time that if I couldn't live well, no one else could live well either."

"I called a few good friends from the village, and we had a few fights with the hooligans near the vegetable market. We beat them away, and then we occupied the vegetable market. Later, my vegetable field expanded, so I asked the people in the vegetable market to buy vegetables from my house and sell them."

"After a while, I was not satisfied with the status quo, so I started to purchase vegetables from surrounding villages at low prices. If someone refused to sell, I would send people to their door. That's how it happened." Li Hongjun quickly recounted the story of his rise to wealth.

Yuan Mu narrowed his eyes and lit a cigarette. In his opinion, what Li Hongjun said was half true and half false. Some of it must be true, but he concealed the most important thing.

"Li Hongjun, did you do all this by yourself? Is there no one supporting you behind the scenes?"

"Of course not. I came up with everything myself."

"Oh! Are you kidding me? You have been doing this for three or four years, making so much dirty money, but no one reported you? The police don't care about you? Tell me, who is behind you?" Yuan Mu sneered.

Li Hongjun panicked, but pretended to be calm on the surface.

"What people behind this? This is all my own business. As for the police, I will just run away if they come."

"Li Hongjun, you are really dishonest. You are a policeman just for free? Can you handle such a big thing? From what I know, you seem to have a mother, a wife and a child. Where are they?"

"Then I don't know. Since you came to arrest me, I just ran away with my family. As for where my family went, I don't know."

"Let me guess, is he being hidden by someone? Is the person behind you threatening you, saying that if you tell him, your family's lives will be in danger?" Yuan Mu's voice was not loud, but it went straight to the heart.

"No, that's impossible. They probably just went back to their hometown." Li Hongjun forced a smile.

"Don't you know where they went?"

"My guess."

"From what I know, you are a very filial person. Would you not make arrangements for your family before you leave? Especially your mother?"

"Hey! I can't save myself. There's nothing I can do."

"How about this, you tell me the person behind you, and I will be responsible for finding your family, how about that?"

"Comrade police officer, I really don't have anyone behind me."

"Li Hongjun, tell me, is it worth it? You are obviously being treated as a pawn now. If you really go in, will they really guarantee the safety of your family? Even if they guarantee safety, can they guarantee that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives?"

"There are four people in your family, and you are the only one who can make money. What will they do if you go to jail? Maybe to the people behind you, you are just an insignificant chess piece who can be discarded. Have you ever seen anyone who would care about the affairs of an abandoned pawn after his death?" Yuan Mu continued to persuade.

Li Hongjun was silent, lowering his head as if thinking about something. Yuan Mu was not in a hurry either, and waited quietly for the other party to speak.

He thought of many possibilities in his mind, including what that person had promised him, what Yuan Mu said, and many other things. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

On the other side, in Song Zhiguo's office.

Song Zhiguo and Tian Hongyi were sitting at their desks with a bug on them. Both of them were wearing headphones, and the sounds in the interrogation room were directly transmitted to their ears.

"Mr. Tian, ​​what should we do? If this goes on, Li Hongjun will not be able to hold on sooner or later. He is no match for Yuan Mu!" Song Zhiguo put down his headphones and looked at Tian Hongyi anxiously.

He was really anxious. If this matter was really found out, Tian Hongyi would at most just pat his butt and go back to Kyoto, but he couldn't. Although his rank was not low and he was a bureau-level cadre, it depended on who he was compared with. Compared with people like Tian Hongyi and Yuan Mu who had status and background, he was nothing!
