Chapter 90 The Mastermind Revealed
"Three brothers, please spare us! As long as you can let us live, I swear to you that we will never say a word!"
Xu Min spoke sincerely, with a hint of pleading, "I just overheard your conversation. Even my father was killed by your people in prison. In my opinion, you must have a strong background and great power."
She took a deep breath and promised, "As long as you release us today, we will keep our mouths shut even if the police come to our house to question us."
"My mother and I will never say a word about your facial features! Please believe us!" After saying this, Xu Min kowtowed repeatedly, and his forehead made a crisp sound when it hit the ground.
In the infirmary of Shengyang Prison——
An Yin sat beside Xu Yourong's bed with a solemn expression. Xu Yourong was now seriously injured, his hands and feet had been brutally broken, and all his teeth had been pulled out.
The originally spacious medical room is now filled with all kinds of medical equipment due to Xu Yourong's serious injuries.
Xu Yourong had great difficulty speaking at this moment, his voice was unclear: "I... I had no choice."
Facing An Yin's grim face, Xu Yourong replied weakly: "I... I was addicted to the Mark Six lottery and owed a lot of debts. They threatened to kill me if I didn't pay back the money."
An Yin sneered, "Do you think we policemen are vegetarians? The police have already investigated your case thoroughly. You don't owe any money at all!"
Hearing that his lie had been exposed by the policeman in front of him, Xu Yourong stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. The blood instantly drained from his face, and his lips trembled slightly, but he could not utter a sound.
His eyes became empty, as if his whole body had been drained away, and he fell into endless silence again.
After a moment, An Yin broke the silence and continued to interrogate in a stern tone: "Xu Yourong, the person you hit this time is not ordinary. I believe you should have understood the situation, otherwise you would not have become a frequent visitor to the infirmary."
Xu Yourong's face was filled with regret and he felt extremely remorseful. He never thought that he would end up in this situation today.
Because all his teeth were pulled out, every time he opened and closed his mouth to speak, it would bring him excruciating pain. However, he still endured the pain and said with difficulty: "I know I was wrong, I really regret it..."
However, An Yin's expression was still as cold as ice. He interrupted Xu Yourong mercilessly: "What's the use of regretting? You have violated the law and must accept legal sanctions."
"I hope you can tell me everything you know."
"During the time you have been in prison, you should be very familiar with the conditions in the cell."
"Waves of prisoners beat you up, and there was nothing we could do even if we wanted to stop them. Even if we put you in solitary confinement, they would always find a way to target you."
Xu Yourong cried and said, "I am willing to bear all the consequences. I only ask you police comrades to protect me."
Since his hands could not move, snot and tears were still flowing freely on his face.
An Yin responded seriously: "We will do our best to protect you, but this does not mean that you can escape legal sanctions and responsibilities."
"Now, please honestly confess your crime in detail!"
After listening to An Yin's words, Xu Yourong was silent for a while and began to fall into deep thought.
After a moment, Xu Yourong took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then said, "Okay, I'll tell you everything."
"A few months ago, a mysterious man approached me and said that if I could help him complete a task, he would give me 5 million as a reward afterwards."
"I didn't believe him at the time, but he immediately took out 20,000 yuan in cash and put it in front of me, saying it was just an advance payment."
"If I am willing to help, I can pay the rest of the money after the matter is completed. At that moment, my heart was moved because I had never seen so much money before, so I accepted the 20,000 yuan and hid it under the bed in my rental house."
"Then the man told me to learn to drive and once I got my licence I would drive my car into a specific target."
"He also specifically told me to disguise the whole incident as an accident. So I did as he instructed, and he gave me a dozen beers on the same day and asked me to drink some before the action to create the illusion that I was drinking in the car."
"That way, even if a collision occurs, it can be attributed to a traffic accident rather than premeditated murder."
At this point, Xu Yourong paused, perhaps because the pain in his mouth made it unbearable to talk for such a long time.
An Yin noticed his strangeness and asked without thinking, "Then what happened?"
Xu Yourong stared at the ceiling and was silent for a long time before he slowly continued, "I was also bewildered at the time. Seeing so much money in front of me, I immediately agreed to his offer without even thinking about it."
"After I got the money back, I became more and more scared, so I decided to take the money and run away."
"I didn't expect that when I was about to get on the train at the train station, he caught me and beat me up severely."
"He then threatened to kill me if I tried to escape again."
"Since then, he has been keeping a close eye on me every day, leaving me no chance to escape. I had no choice but to follow his request and honestly sign up for the driver's license test."
"After two months of hard study and exams, I miraculously got my driver's license. Maybe this is God's blessing to me."
At this point, Xu Yourong's tone suddenly changed, "But to be honest, I would rather not have this favor now."
Hearing this, An Yin pondered for a moment, then said, "Do you remember what the person who ordered you to do that looked like?"
"Please describe it in detail. We will be able to draw a portrait of the suspect very quickly. As long as we get the portrait, I believe it won't take long to arrest him."
Xu Yourong smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "In fact, I was also cautious at the time. I took a photo of him and printed it out."
"I hid the photo in the crack of the wall of the rental house, right next to my bed."
"Comrade police officer, this is all I know." His tone was full of pain and fatigue.
