"Let's divide the work first. There are eight people in total. I will interrogate the boss Qiao Sanlang. The remaining seven people and the two girls are given to Anna. Sixth, you pick three. The remaining two are random. Who will go first? After the trial, who comes first?"
"agree."
"Okay, Yumei, you and I, Cheng Yunfeng and Anna, Yu Xueming and Gu Laoliu, Xiao Meng will be the mouthpiece."
"yes."
"Since there is no problem, let's get started." Zhou Sen announced.
…
Interrogation room one.
Qiao Sanlang was escorted in by two Japanese prison guards wearing black student uniforms wearing handcuffs and shackles. Zhou Sen gave a signal and removed Qiao Sanlang's handcuffs and shackles.
"Boss Qiao, please sit down." Zhou Sen said politely.
Qiao Sanlang gave Zhou Sen an indifferent look, walked over and sat down on the chair in front of Zhou Sen.
Although he was not tortured after being imprisoned, spending that night in a dark and cold cell was indeed not a place for human beings.
They were not given food or even a sip of water.
On such a cold day, this is obviously torture.
"Xiaomeng, pour a cup of hot water in." Seeing that Qiao Sanlang's lips were a little purple from the cold, he ordered Xiao Meng outside the door.
When Xiao Meng brought the hot water in, Zhou Sen brought it over personally: "Boss Qiao, take a sip of hot water to warm yourself up."
Qiao Sanlang raised his head and glanced at Zhou Sen. He reached out tremblingly and took the water glass, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip. Maybe it was because the water had just been boiled and was a bit hot. He tilted his mouth and snorted. .
"The water is too hot. Do you want to wait a while before drinking?" Zhou Sen could tell. The water was too hot for his mouth, so Qiao Sanlang drank a little anxiously.
The weather was extremely cold, and the water temperature cooled very quickly. After a while, the temperature of the water in the cup dropped enough that it could be imported.
Zhou Sen was not in a hurry to interrogate him, but waited for Qiao Sanlang to finish drinking water before turning around and walking to his seat to sit down.
"Boss Qiao, we are old acquaintances. You also know why we arrested you. If you tell the truth, you may be able to get a lighter sentence. If you refuse to tell the truth, then don't blame me for not remembering the past. The relationship is over." Zhou Sen shouted.
"Officer Zhou, what do you want me to tell you? I am just a good citizen running a small business. You just arrested me without doing anything extraordinary. Is there any law for this?" Qiao Sanlang raised his head and looked directly at Zhou. Sen denied.
"It seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Zhou Sen said coldly, "We found more than ten banned books and publications from your bookstore, which are strictly prohibited from printing, selling or circulating by the authorities. , don’t you know what crime you are guilty of selling these books and publications in your bookstore?”
"Officer Zhou, the authorities have not given us a catalog of banned books and publications. How do we know which book is banned and which one is not? Besides, I am a book seller, not a reader. What is written in the book What, I don’t understand, how do I know the content inside is illegal?” Qiao Sanlang chuckled and defended.
"You entered the book yourself. Do you know what's in the book?" Hong Yumei asked.
"This female police officer, I buy hundreds of books at a time, and I can still read them all. I can only take a rough look at the titles, or buy whatever books the bookseller above gives me, like me. Small booksellers don’t have much power to choose.”
"you……"
"Okay, tell us the name of your superior bookseller, and we'll check it out." Zhou Sen then asked.
"I don't have entry records. The two police officers can just go and check." Qiao Sanlang said casually.
"I don't care where your books come from. What we are talking about now is your problem. If there is a problem with the bookseller above you, we will investigate it." Zhou Sen said coldly, "Qiao Sanlang, your attitude is relaxed." Be polite and don't be too harsh and make yourself uncomfortable."
"Tell me about the seven people at your place, five men and two women?" Zhou Sen did not dwell on this issue and directly changed the topic.
"Those seven people are all regular customers of my store. They often come here to rent and read books, and occasionally buy books, that's all." Qiao Sanlang explained lightly.
"For ordinary customers, you will give them the lounge as a secret gathering place, close the door of the store, and watch out for them at the door?"
"I have not closed the store, but I will close the store every afternoon to take inventory. This is normal, right? As for the lookout, I am working in my own store, how can I be considered a lookout?" Qiao Sanlang asked.
"Okay, even if what you said is true, then why can seven of them enter your store and your lounge on the day of inventory?"
"I took stock. They read and discuss inside without affecting each other. I can still make an income, so why not do it."
"Don't you know what they are doing in there?"
"I don't know. This is their personal privacy. As long as it's not illegal, why should I bother?" Qiao Sanlang said, "When guests come to my bookstore to buy books, do I have to check their identities? I'm not a policeman. "
"So, your relationship with them is just an ordinary relationship between a boss and a customer?"
"To be precise, they are more familiar with me than ordinary guests. Compared with you, Officer Zhou, they are just regular customers." Qiao Sanlang replied.
"Can you provide the identities of the seven of them?"
"I know the name, but I don't know what he does, where he works, where he lives, and how many people there are in his family."
"Tell me everything you know." Zhou Sen motioned to Hong Yumei to record it.
Before coming in, Zhou Sen had arranged for someone to take photos. This was a procedure. Everyone filled out the form. Now asking Qiao Sanlang to identify them was also a procedure.
There are seven people, five men and two women. The men are Liu Shuangbai, Zhao Changqing, Qin Shengtao, Wang Ze and Tian Fu, and the two women are Chen Lijuan and Liang Yanxia.
Among the seven people, three have graduated from school and already have jobs, while the remaining four are still students.
Liu Shuangbai and Wang Ze, as well as Chen and Liang, are all students of Bingcheng Medical University. Liu Shuangbai and Liang Yanxia are still boyfriend and girlfriend. Qin Shengtao is a mechanic at the tram company. Zhao Changqing works in a bank and graduated from Bingcheng Business College. Tian Fu He is Qin Shengtao's childhood friend and works as a shredding apprentice at Lao Baduo Tobacco Factory...
Among the seven, the one with the worst educational background was Tian Fu. He dropped out of middle school after one year, and was then sent to Lao Ba Du Tobacco Factory by his family's trustee.

"Take the person down." Zhou se waved his hand and signaled the prison guards to escort Qiao Sanlang back to the cell. This guy would not speak easily.
Moreover, his identity is also destined, he cannot speak, not even for acting.
"Boss, why don't we keep asking? Qiao Sanlang obviously has a lot of things he hasn't told. He must have lied!" Hong Yumei asked Zhou Sen incomprehensively.
"If I ask, will he tell me?"
"Then let him be tortured. If you are under severe punishment, you won't believe him if he doesn't tell you." Hong Yumei said firmly.
"Are you sure that he will be able to speak under punishment?" Zhou Sen asked.
"Under torture, how can anyone resist confessing?" Hong Yumei wondered. She had seen the torture methods of the National Police Agency, and no one could endure torture without speaking.
"It is true that a large number of people confessed because they could not bear the pain of torture, but it is undeniable that there are still some people who will not tell. Moreover, there are too many examples of people who have been beaten into confession. Since ancient times, many injustices have been caused by being beaten into confession. Zhou Sen said, "Maybe you think it's okay. That's how we do it. But if we do this a lot, can you and I sleep peacefully?"
When Hong Yumei heard this, she was stunned. She was a woman, and it was usually not her turn to be tortured to extract a confession. But if a person knew it was a bad thing and still did it, I'm afraid not many people would be able to feel at ease.
Only those who have no sense of right and wrong, and no moral bottom line at all, would have no feelings at all.
And usually such people will be prosperous for a while, but they will not end well in the end. No matter how collapsed and dark the world is, one day it will still get on the right track.
"Boss, I understand." Hong Yumei nodded. She didn't want to follow a cruel and cold-blooded boss.
Liu Shuangbai was brought in. Zhou Sen did not ask questions, but looked at the young man. The information he filled out said that this little guy was only nineteen years old, studying clinical major at Bingcheng Medical University, and was only a sophomore this year.
Now he looks depressed and wears a pair of black-framed myopia glasses. The fear in his eyes is definitely obvious.
"Liu Shuangbai, you should be learning the knowledge of treating diseases and saving lives in the classroom of the Medical University at this time, instead of hanging out with some idle people, talking loudly and discussing politics. By doing so, you will not only ruin your own future, but also implicate your parents. Let them worry about you?" Zhou Sen directly taught him a stern lesson.
Liu Shuangbai didn't speak, but there was clearly a hint of regret in his eyes. He was probably impulsive and didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.
"Now I'll give you a chance to tell you everything you know. Maybe it will give you a chance to go back to school." Zhou Sen continued, "It's the winter vacation right now, and no one knows about your situation."
"We were just discussing the drama club together..."
"Drama club, if it's your school's drama club, why do you want to be with social figures like Qin Shengtao and Zhao Changqing?"
"The protagonist of our drama is a mechanic. None of us have any life experience in this area and don't know how to act, so we asked Brother Qin Shengtao to help us..." Liu Shuangbai explained.
"The name of your play is not "The Mechanic", right? Who is the writer, who is the director, who are the actors, and who are the people involved?" Zhou Sen asked.
"It's still in the writing stage, and the actors and everything haven't been decided yet, because our script hasn't been completed yet," Liu Shuangbai said.
"In other words, you are gathering in 'Yi Gu Zhai' just to discuss the script?" Zhou Sen frowned.
Although these young people were not able to collude in confession, they had obviously taken relevant countermeasures before.
I don't know if it was arranged by Qiao Sanlang or if they did it spontaneously. It is estimated that these young people have no such fighting experience, and Qiao Sanlang should have given instructions in advance as a precaution.
But at that time, the manuscripts on the table were directly confiscated. These were all evidence, and it was impossible to quibble.
Qiao Sanlang probably didn't tip them off. If he did, I'm afraid the consequences would be even more serious, because one of the seven people was the mole who tipped off anonymously.
It's just that it's not clear who this mole is. We have to interrogate everyone to find out.
