It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when Xu Damao and Yu Shui returned to the compound.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the bluestone road of the courtyard, making it seem particularly quiet.

The children in the yard were still playing and laughing outside, as if they had endless energy.

Some adults were sitting in the yard chatting and enjoying the coolness and tranquility of the summer night.

However, when they saw Xu Damao passing by, the originally lively atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Everyone shut their mouths and followed Xu Damao's figure.

For a moment, the entire courtyard fell into an eerie silence.

Xu Damao didn't care about the strange looks. He took Yu Shui's hand as if nothing had happened and walked straight towards his home.

He knew that people never stopped talking about him, but he didn't care what others thought of him.

As long as he could be with the rain, he was content.

After Xu Damao left, the yard became noisy again.

Everyone began to whisper to each other.

"Have you heard? That rainwater is pregnant!"

A voice said in a low voice.

"real or fake?"

another person asked in surprise.

"Hasn't Xu Damao always been incompetent? If he had been capable, Lou Xiao'e wouldn't have been unable to get pregnant for so many years!"

Someone questioned.

"Who knows? Maybe the child is not Xu Damao's!"

Another person muttered quietly.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. If Xu Damao hears this, he will tear your mouth apart!"

Someone reminded.

"What's there to be afraid of? He's just a rooster that can't lay eggs. Everyone in the yard knows this. It's not a secret!"

The man retorted nonchalantly.

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the night sky for a long time.

……

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the curtains.

Xu Damao got up earlier than usual and prepared breakfast for Yu Shui half an hour in advance.

After dressing carefully, he went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to start his day's work.

Today, he was in an unusually good mood, not only because he was about to become a father, but also because Wan Lijiang's case should have a conclusion today.

After Xu Damao arrived at the Municipal Bureau, he first made himself a cup of hot tea and then went straight to the case handling area.

He was already very familiar with this place and found the place where Wan Lijiang was interrogated without any difficulty.

Entering the observation room, he saw Wang Zhigang sitting there with bloodshot eyes, staring closely at every move in the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Xu Min and Zhao Donglai sat behind the table, and in front of them was Wan Lijiang, whose face was covered with scars and looked listless.

"Old Wang, how was the interrogation last night? Judging from your appearance, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

Xu Damao walked into the observation room, handed Wang Zhigang a cigarette with concern, and asked.

"It didn't go well."

Wang Zhigang took a deep puff of his cigarette.

"This guy is very stubborn and has refused to admit his crime. But fortunately, we have enough evidence and he can't escape."

Xu Damao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Wang. Once this case is over, take a good rest."

At this time, Wan Lijiang in the interrogation room suddenly raised his head and looked towards the observation room.

His eyes were full of provocation and disdain, as if telling Xu Damao that he would not give in easily.

A surge of anger rose in Xu Damao's heart, but he quickly calmed down.

Because there is an old saying that goes, the person who wronged you knows better than you do how wronged you are!

Although Wanlijiang was not a good person, Xu Damao put such a big accusation on him.

It would be impossible for him to admit it easily, because it was a third-degree murder case, and if he admitted it, he would definitely be sentenced to death!

"Let's continue the trial."

Xu Damao said lightly.

"Old Xu, I'm not saying anything, but I've tried every possible way, but I still can't pry open this old man's mouth!"

Wang Zhigang frowned, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and said helplessly.

Xu Damao naturally understood that what Wang Zhigang said was true. With Wang Zhigang's methods and ruthlessness, he would never show mercy to Wan Lijiang's men.

He glanced at the crisscrossing scars on Wanlijiang's face and sighed in his heart: "This guy is really a tough guy!"

In this era, there is no such thing as civilized handling of cases.

Sometimes, you can't get rid of suspicion by saying you didn't do it.

Evidence and confessions are the key. If you can't get a confession, you can only rely on evidence to convict.

Xu Damao pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "I think we can't keep wasting time like this. We must find a way to make him talk."

"Maybe we can start with his family."

Xu Damao suggested, with a sly glint in his eyes.

"Since he doesn't value his own life, he should at least care about the safety of his family."

Wang Zhigang frowned slightly, "This... is not a good idea. After all, the disaster will not affect my family."

Xu Damao sneered, "He has killed three people, how can he still talk about not bringing disaster to his family? If you don't use some extraordinary means, he won't confess."

Wang Zhigang was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say. However, we must be careful not to make things worse."

After the two discussed countermeasures, they decided to start by investigating Wan Lijiang's family situation.

After some twists and turns, they learned that Wan Lijiang had an elderly mother and a daughter who was in high school.

"Now there is a breakthrough."

A smile appeared on Xu Damao's lips.

In fact, Xu Damao had already found out all this information before he was framed.

Xu Damao and Wang Zhigang came to Wan Lijiang's mother's home and found that she lived alone and was not in good health.

When Xu Damao saw this scene, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Wan Lijiang is such a piece of shit."

He and his wife lived in such a nice place, but he left his old mother alone in such a shabby house!

Wang Zhigang on the side also frowned and was somewhat moved.

But the work still has to be done!

They lied that they were Wan Lijiang's friends and came to visit.

The old man was surprised by their arrival, but still welcomed them warmly.

During the conversation, Xu Damao deliberately revealed some information about the seriousness of Wan Lijiang's case, which made the old man worried.

He hinted that if Wan Lijiang did not cooperate, the consequences could be serious and even affect his mother's life.

After leaving the old man's house, Xu Damao and Wang Zhigang went to Wan Lijiang's daughter's school and did the same thing.

After doing all this, the two of them returned to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

For the next three days, they took no action.

Until the 3rd day.

They took Wan Lijiang's mother and daughter to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

When Wan Lijiang saw his daughter and old mother and heard what they said, he finally broke down and admitted his crime.
