Chapter 752: Hypnotic interrogation (Part Two)
Liu Xianming was detained in the interrogation room.
Although his hands were handcuffed, he said down elegantly and said, “Instead of interrogating me, why don’t you interrogate those people you have caught? I really don’t know anything, what crime are you using to detain me here? Just because someone on my yacht was making drugs? I have reasons for not knowing, and I think you might as well ask that third-party agent since they are responsible for running the yacht charter business for me. I’ve said everything I could, you guys shouldn’t waste your efforts.”
Li Chao ignored him and Liu Xianming glanced at the clock and said provocatively, “You can only hold me here for 24 hours, and there are five hours left. Once I’m out, the first thing I will do is to impeach you to the city council.”
Li Chao said viciously towards him, “You think I’m afraid?”
Liu Xianming laughed, “If you don’t have your police uniform on you, would you be afraid of those North Gate members hunting you down?”
Li Chao grasped Liu Xianming’s collar. “Are you threatening me?”
“What, did I?” Liu Xianming looked innocent as he said, “I just heard police officers may have offended a lot of people in their career, and sooner or later there will be a time for them to retire. Are you not afraid of being remembered?”
Li Chao: “If I was afraid, then I wouldn’t have become a police officer! You better mind your own business. Let me tell you that everyone we brought in here has never gotten out by being innocent.”
Liu Xianming laughed. “I don’t believe it.”
That was when a man wearing a mask walked in.
“Close the door and go turn on the video recorder.”
The one who came in was none other than Xu Cheng, and he walked over as he patted on Li Chao’s shoulder.
Li Chao nodded as he went out and closed the door, and then began to record the video.
Liu Xianming saw Xu Cheng wearing a mask and wondered. “Record what, I don’t know anything.”
“Recording your confession to everything you know,” Xu Cheng replied.
“Don’t make me laugh, okay?” Liu Xianming curled his lips and said, “I’ve told you, I don’t know anything about this drug production, and you should ask my lawyer who’s responsible for helping me take care of these assets.”
“Alright, then let’s talk about how you gained five billion dollars in assets within two years.” Xu Cheng took out Liu Xianming’s files and placed it onto the table. “I have checked. You opened the riverside yacht club, and all the drinks, parties, and vacation packages are all inclusive. I find it strange, since even if you had opened a casino, you wouldn’t have earned this much this fast. May I ask how you earned this money?”
Liu Xianming said calmly, “Since you have checked my assets and the industry, then have you checked who the members are in this club? Do you know how much the membership fee is? $500k per year, and there are over 20 thousand members from all over the country. Their membership fees alone would earn me over $10 billion. Do you think it’s difficult for me to have a net profit of $5 billion within two years?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “No difficulty, but that’s not what I’m asking. What I’m asking is, what makes you charge them $500K per year? In addition to that, you were just a company manager before, and two years later, you’ve networked with this many wealthy people who would spend $500K per year to be a member at your club? Explain to me, where did you get this network? Or rather, who is behind you?”
Xu Cheng even continued, “If you don’t want to say it then I can say it for you. Either that you’ve been attracting them with your illegal drug trade or there’s someone else behind you. Which one is it?”
Liu Xianming froze, since Xu Cheng blocked his chance to find other excuses.
“No one is behind me and I don’t do drugs. I’m a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, and they pool investments to share the dividend. Is it strange for me to have contacts from the Chamber of Commerce?” Liu Xianming sounded anxious. “Besides, who are you? Are you wearing a mask because you’re afraid that I would recognize you? When did police officers become so sneaky? I have nothing to hide and I’m not afraid of you interrogating me!”
“Okay, then I’ll interrogate you,” Xu Cheng said as he took off his mask.
The moment Xu Cheng took off his mask, Liu Xianming was surprised to see how he looked.
And just that split second, Liu Xianming got hypnotized!
