"Hey, Officer Zheng, you came in so quickly." When Zheng Yi walked in, Wang Mingyang put on a nonchalant look.
Just a few minutes ago, when Wang Mingyang was being confrontational with his nostrils flaring and eyes challenging, Zheng Yi had the impulse to punch him. But now, Zheng Yi looked at him with pity and sorrow, like a pitiful father.
"I told you back in Fenghuang Village that you're not suited for this arrogant and overbearing role." Zheng Yi looked at him expressionlessly, but inside, he was feeling a storm of emotions. Regardless of whether Wang Mingyang was the real culprit, if the police had been able to help him and take his grievances seriously, he would probably be a middle-aged man with a happy family and grandchildren, instead of the current suspect with a scruffy beard and a face full of wrinkles.
Upon hearing Zheng Yi's words, the mask on Wang Mingyang's face cracked slightly, apparently not expecting that Zheng Yi's first words upon returning would be this. However, he quickly regained his composure. "I don't know what Officer Zheng is talking about. I'm just a rough man, what roles or not roles!"
"You're saying you've never met Liu Changsheng Director Liu, is that right?"
"That's right!" Wang Mingyang said firmly.
"Wang Mingyang, you may not be aware, but in today's society, there is evidence of everything you have or haven't done." Zheng Yi raised a detention notice, Wang Mingyang stretched his neck forward, squinting to read the handwriting on the paper.
This was a detention notice for Wang Mingyang maliciously assaulting Liu Changsheng. He had caused a scene in Liu Changsheng's office multiple times, and the last time, he even accidentally injured the bureau chief's head with a vase. He was immediately restrained by the security guards and taken to the police station.
"You don't know Liu Changsheng, so why did you accidentally hit him on the head? Wang Mingyang, if you claim it was just a random act of violence, then you wouldn't have been released after only seven days of detention." Zheng Yi stared at Wang Mingyang like a hawk, not missing any of his microexpressions.
"After a long silence, Wang Mingyang sighed deeply and lowered his head. When he raised it again, his arrogant demeanor had completely disappeared, leaving behind only a weathered shell. His dry lips drooped downward, and in an instant, the wrinkles on his skin seemed to deepen, like deep ravines spreading across his face.
"I did indeed lie to you... I had met that beast Liu Changsheng a long time ago!" He squeezed out these words through his teeth, his expression momentarily turning fierce.
"I am not from City A, nor am I from Fenghuang Village. But one thing I didn't lie to you about is that I am indeed a farmer. I used to grow corn in a small village in City B, and could make one or two thousand a year from selling it. It may be little, but it was enough for our family to live on."
"Twenty years ago, my son suddenly disappeared in the cornfield. At first, my wife and I thought he was just playing around and would come home when it got dark, but from that day on, we never saw our son again." As he spoke of his son and wife, Wang Mingyang's tone became gentle, as if he was reminiscing about these two people he loved the most.
"I searched many places, went to the police station many times, but those foolish police saw me as a helpless farmer and didn't want to waste too much effort, always using 'the police are doing their best to search' to dismiss me."
"Later, they were unable to shake me off, so they handed the case over to the Population Management Bureau. I came to the Population Management Bureau time and time again, humbly pleading with Liu Changsheng to report this case to the higher authorities, so that more manpower would be allocated to find my son."
Unknowingly, the elderly father was already in tears, sobbing quietly like a trapped animal. "I always thought Liu Changsheng was a responsible leader, but I never expected him to be so unworthy. He treated me just like the police, and even physically assaulted me once. I fought back and grabbed a nearby vase, smashing it over his head. That grandson of mine even deleted the office surveillance footage and pinned all the blame on me in the end!"
He clenched his fists and slammed them fiercely onto the table, making a loud noise, but it couldn't compare to the despair in his heart.
"Did you kidnap Liu Wang to seek revenge for being wronged?" Zheng Yi raised an eyebrow in response.
"You're right. I want him to experience the taste of losing a child." Wang Mingyang suddenly looked up, the tears in his eyes had not yet disappeared, a mix of sorrow, disgust, and hatred... various emotions intertwined, making him feel like he was about to explode with discomfort.
Zheng Yi wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Captain Zheng, someone is here to see you," a nearby officer reminded.
"Got it." Zheng Yi didn't understand who would come to see him at this time. Could it be additional information from Wang Mingyang?
When he opened the door, he saw Liu Changsheng's assistant, He Hanwen. The man was quite young, with a straight nose and a pair of glasses, which highlighted his refined demeanor. "Captain Zheng, I'm here to deliver a message for Director Liu," he paused, then continued after leaning in closer to Zheng Yi. "He means..." "No room for negotiation," a storm surged in Zheng Yi's heart.
"My task is complete. Wishing Captain Zheng smooth work." The man nodded slightly and turned away briskly.
