50: Arrest of Zheng Jiasheng, Gao Ze's famous battle

"No!"

"My father, Zheng Jiasheng, did not participate in Mu Yu Rou's Case, did not protect me, and committed no crime!"

Facing Gao Ze'sInduction, Zheng Yiren's eyes showed a struggle. After a long psychological battle, his face even became ferocious:

"Don't try to trick me, don't try to implicate my father, never!"

Gao Ze and Shen Gang exchanged glances, neither surprised by this outcome.

Zheng Yiren admitted to harming Mu Yu Rou; the ironclad evidence was already laid out, leaving no room for denial.

Making him expose his father Zheng Jiasheng's crimes had a certain probability of success, but a high probability of failure.

Because Zheng Yiren understood that with the conclusive evidence, he would certainly face the death penalty according to common sense. Exposing his father Zheng Jiasheng might save him from death.

But his only hope from the outside world would definitely be gone.

"Zheng Yiren, are you still dreaming, thinking your father Zheng Jiasheng will protect you, or even get you out of prison?"

Shen Gang exerted pressure, inducing in a deep voice: "Didn't you see it in the banquet hall?"

"Your father Zheng Jiasheng has cut ties with you."

"And even if you don't speak, Police will still vigorously investigate your father Zheng Jiasheng. We also have other channels, such as people who were recruited by you back then. If you don't speak, won't they?"

"Now your father Zheng Jiasheng can't even protect himself, and you still expect him to protect you?"

"......"

Shen Gang relentlessly applied pressure, with a female officer playing the good cop next to him, offering comfort.

But it was all in vain. Zheng Yiren, from his initial hesitation and worry, gradually became expressionless and remained silent.

Gao Ze frowned slightly. Leaving Zheng Jiasheng unchecked would definitely be a threat to him.

He needed to be eliminated as soon as possible!

Otherwise, if that old fox was given some time, he might erase all traces of himself in Mu Yu Rou's Case.

Then, there would be little hope of sending Zheng Jiasheng to prison again.

But how could Zheng Yiren be made to speak?

While Gao Ze was thinking, he suddenly noticed an incoming call on his phone screen.

After entering the interrogation room, he had set his phone to silent and do not disturb, yet this unknown caller had called five or six times with extremely high frequency.

Could it be very urgent?

"Shen Team, I'm going out to take a call." Unable to pry open Zheng Yiren's mouth for now, Gao Ze thought about it and decided to go out and answer.

But when he walked out of the interrogation room and heard the voice on the phone, he was a little stunned.

The call was from Zheng Jiasheng!

Why did he call him five or six times?

Could it be...?

After this guy went back, he investigated Li Qingyan's background, got scared, and then wanted to mend his relationship with him?

This conjecture surfaced in Gao Ze's mind and was immediately confirmed.

"Officer Gao, I was ignorant and didn't know your background, I offended you!"

"Can you be magnanimous and forgive me this time?"

"Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I can give it all to you, as long as we can mend our relationship."

The tone was humble to the dust, even trembling with flattery in his words.

Gao Ze shivered suddenly, and at the same time felt a huge numbness envelop his whole body, making him want to shout out.

Is this what it feels like to have a background?

Not long ago, Zheng Jiasheng was arrogant and domineering, his words full of threats, but now he wished he could slap himself a few times.

"If you want to mend your relationship with me, it depends on whether you are willing to give up your son."

Although this contrast was refreshing, Gao Ze did not indulge in it. His mind raced, and in an instant, he thought of a way to make Zheng Yiren expose Zheng Jiasheng.

"Officer Gao, what do you mean?" Zheng Jiasheng asked cautiously.

"I ask you, did your son harm Mu Yu Rou?"

There was a full half-minute of silence on the phone, and finally, a sigh came through: "Yes, it was my failure to discipline him..."

"Tell me the specific process of your son's crime. I'm sure he told you."

"At that time, he did to Mu Yu Rou..."

"Then after he committed the crime, did you use your connections to cover for and protect your son?"

"No, no, how could I possibly do such a thing? I am an upright person and would not do such a thing."

Gao Ze continued to ask: "After Police arrested your son Zheng Yiren, will you continue to protect him, or even get him out?"

"Impossible, I would never do such a thing!"

"Officer Gao, Zheng Yiren is an adult. Since he committed a crime, he must bear the corresponding legal consequences."

"As his father, I have already failed in my duty, and I am sorry to Mu Yu Rou's parents. How can I still indulge him for my own selfish reasons?"

"That wouldn't be protection; it would be harming him!"

"Officer Gao, whatever crime Zheng Yiren committed, Police and the judiciary can severely punish him. I will not interfere. This is his retribution!"

"Good, your words are enough."

Gao Ze smiled slightly, hung up the phone, and turned off the recording button.

Zheng Yiren would definitely recognize whose voice was in this recording, and it would be enough to make Zheng Yiren understand Zheng Jiasheng's determination.

And to get this recording...

He still had to thank Li Qingyan for his help.

If it weren't for Li Qingyan, Zheng Yiren would definitely not have called and said those words.

"Indeed, that saying was not wrong.

People hate backgrounds, but what they hate is not the background itself, but that the person with the background is not themselves!"

Gao Ze shook his head and smiled, then re-entered the interrogation room.

Zheng Yiren still had an expressionless face. Shen Gang's throat was dry from talking, but there was no effect at all.

"Brother Gao, do you have any ideas?"

Shen Gang was a little helpless and didn't mind speaking in front of Zheng Yiren.

"I didn't have any, but just now Zheng Jiasheng called me. Zheng Yiren, you can listen too."

Gao Ze placed his phone in front of Zheng Yiren, pressed the recording play button, and loudly played the phone conversation recording, completely unaltered, in the interrogation room.

Zheng Yiren sat on the interrogation chair, listening quietly. When he heard his father Zheng Jiasheng confess his crime, his fingernails suddenly dug into his palms, and his eyes turned red.

The iron shackles on Zheng Yiren's hands clanked loudly.

Then, when he heard Zheng Jiasheng say that he would not get him out, and his only hope was shattered, Zheng Yiren let out a bestial roar and wail.

He would definitely not mishear.

The recording on the phone was indeed his father Zheng Jiasheng's voice.

Moreover, the number in Gao Ze's phone call history was indeed his familiar father's number, and the call time and recording time matched perfectly.

Everything matched; it couldn't be faked!

"Zheng Jiasheng, you bastard, I'm your son, how could you be so cruel to me!"

With a distorted face of rage, Zheng Yiren gasped for breath, no longer hiding anything, and said:

"Officer, I'll tell you the truth."

"Two years ago, after I killed Mu Yu Rou.

The case was getting a bit hard to cover up, and when the truth was about to be found out, I told my father Zheng Jiasheng, and he..."

Feeling betrayed, Zheng Yiren recounted how Zheng Jiasheng had covered for and protected him back then, including the people who had been recruited at the time.

In the interrogation room, the female officer recording the case wrote furiously, quickly jotting down one name after another.

The other detectives, including Shen Gang, had bright eyes, looking shocked and envious.

If there were no surprises, after Zheng Jiasheng was arrested, Mu Yu Rou's Case would establish Gao Ze's reputation in Donghai City.

It could be said that this was Gao Ze's battle of fame!

Because Mu Yu Rou's Case was influential enough, involving a rich second-generation like Zheng Yiren, and a billionaire like Zheng Jiasheng, as well as a series of other individuals.

And tomorrow, Pudong Public Security Bureau would hold a commendation conference for Gao Ze.

Many Municipal Bureau leaders would attend and participate then.

Upon learning that Gao Ze had solved Mu Yu Rou's Case, they would pay even more attention.

However, a question lingered in Shen Gang's mind.

In the phone conversation, why did the billionaire Zheng Jiasheng speak to Gao Ze so humbly?

Just a short while ago in the banquet hall, Zheng Jiasheng's attitude was extremely arrogant?

And Zheng Jiasheng also mentioned Gao Ze's background.

Does Gao Ze have a background?

This doubt was like an itch, the more he thought about it, the more puzzling and curious it became. After interrogating Zheng Yiren and walking out of the interrogation room, Shen Gang directly asked:

"Brother Gao, why has Zheng Jiasheng's attitude towards you become so flattering?"

"He said you have a background, what background do you have?"
