Chapter 2085 This is a gold brick! It's not a brick discarded on the street!
"The evidence is irrefutable!" Captain Lu slammed his fist on the table. "You'd better confess honestly! You might have a chance to live if you try to get leniency, but if you resist, you'll be punished more severely!"
With the evidence overwhelming, Guo Xiao, in a state of mental breakdown, confessed truthfully, "I have no grudge against him, it was the boss who instructed me to do this..."
More than three hours later, Captain Lu and his team walked out of the interrogation room with high morale, as if they had won a battle. Behind them followed Guo Xiao, who was handcuffed and escorted by police officers to the interrogation room next door.
Seeing that Zhang Ran was sleeping again, Captain Lu quickly walked over and slammed his hand on the table.
Awakened, Zhang Ran lifted her head from the table, looking dazed and half-asleep as she stared at the person.
Captain Lu said sarcastically, "You always sleep when you come to our police station. Do you think this is your home?"
Zhang Ran gradually regained consciousness, her eyes scanning everyone before finally landing on Guo Xiao, who was also wearing handcuffs.
Captain Lu noticed her gaze, turned to look at Guo Xiao, and said, "Say what you just said again."
With his hands handcuffed, Guo Xiao could only point at Zhang Ran and say, "It was she who instructed me to poison Old Man Chen at the hospital."
Zhang Ran was accused on the spot, and everyone waited to see her reaction. However, she scoffed and retorted, "You say I ordered it, so I did? Where's the evidence?"
Before Guo Xiao could speak, Captain Lu, unable to tolerate Zhang Ran's arrogant attitude, interjected, "Bring over the evidence she wants."
A police officer immediately brought over several sealed plastic bags containing a few gold bars, a woman's watch, a bank card, and a large bag of cash.
Captain Lu glanced at Guo Xiao, who immediately spoke up, accusing him: "These are the evidence that you bribed me to kill for you."
Everyone waited for Zhang Ran to offer an excuse, and sure enough, she spoke up, "The lady's watch is indeed mine, but I gave it to him a few years ago. Is that really evidence? It's laughable. As for the other items, they don't have my name engraved on them." Her eyes shot sharp, dagger-like glances at Guo Xiao, "Why do you say I gave them to you?"
Captain Lu had long known that Zhang Ran was difficult to deal with, so he presented the evidence he had collected one by one. He first picked up the bag of gold bars and said, "We have verified that these gold bars came from your vault. The serial numbers on them are from the same batch as the gold bars you have collected. How do you explain this?"
Zhang Ran leaned back in his chair and chuckled disdainfully: "I've given away gold bricks to countless people as rewards. What's so strange about them coming from my own treasury? If I give you a gold brick tomorrow, and you kill someone, you'll claim it was me who ordered it. Where is justice?"
Captain Lu was speechless, unable to find a reason to refute her. Based on the evidence he had gathered, she was indeed generous and had given gold bars as rewards to others.
“We’ll see,” Zhang Ran said, changing the subject. “My vault has been robbed before.” Her gaze shifted back to Guo Xiao. “He’s my driver and bodyguard. Every time gold bars arrive, these guys are responsible for moving them in and out. How could I have known if he took the opportunity to steal a few gold bars?”
"I didn't!" Guo Xiao immediately retorted loudly.
Captain Lu glanced at Guo Xiao and continued to question Zhang Ran: "Didn't you check the numbers when the BRICS were put into storage? How could you not know if there were any missing?"
"You were absolutely right," Zhang Ran laughed. "I never count."
Captain Lu slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "That's clearly a sophistry! How could valuable items not be verified before being put into storage?" This is a gold bar! It's not some brick discarded on the street!
Zhang Ran's smile was unrestrained and arrogant. "It's just a drop in the ocean. Who cares about losing a few hairs?" Her gaze fell on Captain Lu's receding hairline and slightly balding head. "Your loss of a few hairs is clearly visible. You've lost all your assets, but for me it's just a few coins. As long as it's not too outrageous, I don't care at all. Is this illegal?"
