South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Comrade Inspector, this is our first time, just this once." The two men hurriedly explained.

Yuan Mu curled his lips in disdain. All the thieves who were caught said this. They all said it was their first time. Then they would play the victim and say they had a baby who was not weaned and an 80-year-old mother. This excuse was overused.

"Tell me the truth! I'm telling you, if you confess, you'll be treated leniently. Confess as soon as possible and try to get a lighter sentence!" Zhao Min slammed the table and shouted.

Yuan Mu looked at Zhao Min speechlessly. He was still too young. This trick might work if it was a first-time offender, but these two were obviously veterans. This trick was completely useless.

If he had given up after being threatened by you, he would never have come this far and would not have been able to steal so many things.

"Comrade Lin Tao, can I ask you a few questions?" Yuan Mu looked at Lin Tao and said.

"Okay." Lin Tao nodded.

"I just did a rough calculation. The amount of money you stole, including other items and bills, totaled more than 200 yuan. You all know that this amount is huge, and you know what will happen to you. In addition, you also assaulted a police officer, which is a serious crime."

"Of course, there's nothing I can do if you just give up. But if you want to get a reduction in sentence by making meritorious contributions, you can give out some of your accomplices. If it's true, we will reduce your sentence as appropriate. What do you think?" Yuan Mu said, looking at the two of them with a smile.

The two were silent for a while, with their heads down and no one speaking.

"Okay, since you're silent, I'll tell you one more thing. You just heard me. I'm a prison guard at Harbin's First Prison. Just pray that you don't come to Harbin's First Prison. Otherwise, I won't be so easy to talk to when you come."

These words were actually meant to scare the two men. Their crimes were not enough to warrant sentencing to Harbin Prison. Moreover, they would most likely be transferred back to Ningyang Prison, which had nothing to do with Harbin.

But Yuan Mu was taking advantage of their fear of him. If it worked, it would be good, but if it didn't, there would be no loss, right?

Then Yuan Mu used a combination of strong sticks and sweet dates, intimidating and threatening, and coaxing her from time to time.

Sure enough, the two were moved and killed one of their accomplices. However, according to Yuan Mu's analysis, he was just a small Karami and not of much value, but it was better than nothing.

I guess the two of them realized that the crime they committed was not enough to send them to Harbin Prison, so they just gave up.

In fact, Yuan Mu has another way, but it is not applicable here. His way is to beat, beat hard. For Yuan Mu, there is no psychological burden at all, but this is not his territory and he cannot overstep his authority.

Don't think that the police won't beat people at this time. How could they not beat people? Where did a lot of evidence come from? They were all obtained by beating. You are complaining? Who are you complaining about? Who saw me beating you?

After helping with the interrogation for a while, Yuan Mu said goodbye and left. The train was about to arrive, and he wanted to lie down for a while.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At 5:30 in the morning, the train slowly pulled into Harbin Railway Station.

A large number of people got off the bus, including Yuan Mu. He first went to the passenger police team to get his bicycle, and then rode towards the prison.

The wind was howling all the way and it was really cold. Fortunately, Yuan Mu was wearing more clothes and a hat and scarf, otherwise it would have been very cold.

When he arrived at the prison, he first found the warden Zhang Meng to cancel his leave, but Zhang Meng did not mention the matter of canceling his leave first but instead praised him a lot.

It turned out that the news of Yuan Mu catching a thief in the car had reached the prison, first to the warden and then to him.

The police team in Ningyang called to express their gratitude, which made the prison feel proud. So Zhang Meng rewarded Yuan Mu with ten yuan and some bills on behalf of the prison, and let Yuan Mu rest for another day.

Yuan Mu did not refuse. Having money is naturally good.

After leaving the warden's office, he went back to the dormitory to change his clothes, and then went to the factory to find Lao Ma.

"Master Yuan! You're back!" Seeing Yuan Mu coming back, Old Ma immediately became excited.

"Okay, Lao Ma, don't worry. Your family is well. Your wife Wang Sufang also asked me to bring you some clothes and other things. They are all with me. I will send them to your cell when you finish work."

"Thank you! Thank you, Coach Yuan!" Old Ma bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.

"Okay, you're welcome. But I also have some bad news. Your business was not accomplished. I contacted the Railway Public Security Bureau and the Railway Police Team, but the final result was that there was insufficient evidence." Yuan Mu sighed.

Old Ma was stunned, then smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, I guessed it all. Thank you for helping me and taking so much trouble."

"It's okay, take care of yourself, I'm leaving first." Yuan Mu waved his hand and left.

That night, Lao Ma received clothes and other daily necessities from Wang Sufang. He found a letter in the clothes, which was written by Wang Sufang herself.

Lao Ma hid in the quilt, reading the letter and crying silently, covering his mouth tightly with the quilt to prevent himself from making any sound.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The prison was calm, but far away in the Ningyang Passenger Police Team it was not calm at all.

Ever since Qian Jin and Zhou Qiang were arrested that night, the passenger police team stepped up their interrogation of the two, because they all knew that it was impossible for these two to be involved in just this one case.

But these two people kept their mouths shut and refused to say anything, so I had to use some tricks on them in the end, and they finally took down their boss.

Afterwards, the passenger police team cooperated with the criminal police team to stake out the criminal gang on the train for several weeks and finally successfully cracked down on this criminal gang. Including Qian Jin and Zhou Qiang, there were eight people in total, and the amount involved was as high as several thousand yuan, not including other bills and the like.

What they are facing now is not just a few years in prison. Qian Jin and Zhou Qiang are scared. Since they are in this line of work, they have naturally studied the extent of the court's penalties. They know what they are going to face.

So the two of them talked about a major case one after another, and it happened to be the manslaughter case eight years ago, the case in which Ma Kui was wrongly accused.

The two men admitted that they had given false testimony. It was not Ma Kui who accidentally killed the thief, but the thief who was killed when he jumped out of the car.

The police urgently restarted the investigation into Ma Kui's manslaughter case. With witness testimony, the Ningyang Railway Public Security Bureau finally unanimously decided to transfer Ma Kui back from Harbin No. 1 Prison for questioning. If confirmed, Ma Kui would be acquitted.
