Chapter 52: Skinny Dog’s Unprecedented Stubbornness and the Fear Brought by the Unknown Boss!

Sixty pieces of candy-like drugs…

This statement made Skinny Dog’s pupils slightly contract, but he immediately hid it and pretended to be confused, saying in disbelief.

“Officer.”

“You’ve really got it wrong. You’re really mistaken.”

“Although I sell some drugs for a living, it’s just small amounts of heroin. I don’t know anything about candy drugs!”

“Even if I knew what they were…”

“I would never sell drugs to little girls, I really wouldn’t dare!”

“Besides.”

“Who would use drugs like that? Isn’t that a waste?”

“Heating it with tin foil and inhaling it would be much more potent than swallowing it, wouldn’t it? And you can save a lot of money!!”

Skinny Dog’s explanation seemed particularly forced, and he even went off on a tangent.

He tried to wash himself clean from the situation, to get out of this mess.

But such a clumsy explanation.

Even a newly hired criminal detective could see through the problem. How could it possibly fool Su Ming and Xu Changsheng?

…

At this moment.

Su Ming no longer wanted to waste time. His expression cold, he gave Skinny Dog a glance.

He turned the notebook screen toward Skinny Dog, pointing at the image of Huang Yan, and said sternly in a cold voice.

“Don’t know her?”

“Let me help you remember. It was about fifteen days ago, back when you weren’t arrested yet.”

“The girl in the screen, the one walking a bit awkwardly, was she sent by someone to buy thirty pieces of disguised candy drugs from you?”

“And at that time…”

“There was probably another drug addict who couldn’t afford heroin and begged you for a hit, but you kicked him into the wall.”

“As for.”

“The other thirty pieces of candy drugs, you also delivered them to another middle school girl around the same time, following the orders of your boss.”

At this point.

Xu Changsheng took over, tapping his fingers on the table, and coldly said.

“Skinny Dog, how’s that?”

“Does that help you remember clearly?”

“Or do you still want to continue pretending to be stupid?”

Sitting in the interrogation chair, Skinny Dog’s forehead had already started to bead with sweat, his face pale, and he swallowed hard, shaking his head and stuttering.

“Not… not really, officer.”

“What you just said, I really don’t understand…”

“What’s this about a limp, a middle school girl, orders… other than drug addicts looking to buy from me on credit, I don’t know anything else!!!”

“Oh, wait, I got it!”

“Officer, do you think the pressure on drug control has been heavy recently? Have you not met your upper-level targets yet?”

“I have a list of a few drug addicts. Although they don’t buy from me anymore, I know they’re still…”

Before Skinny Dog could finish.

“Bang!!!”

Xu Changsheng slammed his hand on the table, stood up in anger, and shouted.

“Skinny Dog.”

“Do you still think we’re joking with you?”

“I’ll be straightforward with you.”

“The middle school girl who first asked you for candy drugs is already dead. She’s lying in a morgue in Huaihai City!!!”

“Do you think…”

“You can just sell out a few drug addicts and get away with it?”

“Moreover, what surprised me was…”

“Even though the amount of drugs involved was enough for peanuts, when we brought you in for questioning, Skinny Dog, you still dared to hide something?”

“Although you’ve confessed a lot, when it comes to your boss, you haven’t said a single word.”

“Did that person threaten you in some way?”

Without a doubt.

Xu Changsheng had noticed something was off.

Because when they first interrogated Skinny Dog, it wasn’t this difficult or stubborn.

At least.

The last time they found out the amount of drugs Skinny Dog was dealing, enough for peanuts, he had been cooperative like never before.

Before any methods or threats were used, he had confessed everything in one go, even naming a lot of senior drug addicts who bought from him.

He had done all that just to reduce his sentence, hoping at least for a chance to avoid peanuts.

But this time…

He was being ridiculously stubborn, and this likely meant there was some sort of threat involved!!!

Hearing the question about whether he had been threatened, Skinny Dog obviously lowered his head in silence for two seconds, then suddenly smiled as if he had a realization. He looked at Su Ming and Xu Changsheng, clasped his hands together in an almost pleading manner and said.

“Officers, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please don’t be angry.”

“I think I remember now!”

“Fifteen days ago, indeed, this middle school girl in the screen came to me to buy drugs. At that time, I was a little curious…”

“How could someone so young be using drugs, but I was stupid to think, why not make money, so I sold her thirty of the candy drugs I made myself!”

“Officer, those candy drugs, I sold them to her! But if you’re talking about other people or orders, I really don’t know anything!!!”

Upon hearing this.

Xu Changsheng had already sat back down, staring at the now ingratiating Skinny Dog.

“Heh, Skinny Dog, you’ve really broadened my horizons.”

“I didn’t expect…”

“A guy as scared of death as you would take the fall for this case?”

“But do you think you can handle it?”

“Do you really think we police officers are fools and can’t tell that you’re too scared to reveal your boss, hiding something from us?”

At this point.

Xu Changsheng seemed to have lost patience entirely, waving his hand at Su Ming.

No eye contact was needed for Su Ming to understand, and he walked to the camera, turning it off. He then spoke pointedly.

“Brother Sheng, stop wasting words with this guy.”

“Those methods we’re not supposed to use? Well, let’s go ahead and use them.”

“Let’s see if his stubbornness is stronger than the methods we learned from the criminal investigation.”

“Anyway, I’ve already turned off the camera, and once we replace the footage, no one will be able to trace it.”

“Besides.”

“We’re not forcing a confession, but just trying to get some clues and intel for this case.”

“Even if he suddenly changes his mind in court, it won’t matter.”

“After all.”

“The things he already confessed earlier are enough for a conviction.”

At this point.

Su Ming deliberately glanced at Skinny Dog, whose eyes were filled with terror, and deliberately spoke with a crazy gleam in his eye.

“Brother Sheng, I have an idea.”

“How about I go to find forensic expert Shen Lin and get some high-purity heroin samples from her?”

“Then.”

“We can hold them up in front of Skinny Dog’s nose.”

“Do you think a drug addict who hasn’t had a fix for so many days can hold up against it?”

“I remember reading in the textbooks…”

“The withdrawal symptoms from heroin after long-term use are stronger than any other drug. You’ll feel ants crawling all over your body, shivering from cold while your internal organs burn, your head spinning, and tears and mucus streaming down.”

Then, pausing.

Looking at Skinny Dog’s eyes, full of dread, Su Ming squinted and deliberately said.

“By the way, Skinny Dog.”

“After so many days without heroin, I guess you’ve already kicked the habit, right?”

“I’ve heard that old addicts like you sometimes end up crashing into walls and committing suicide in jail because they can’t handle the withdrawal.”

“But I think, since you’re willing to take the fall for a murder case, handling a heroin withdrawal…”

“That probably won’t be a problem, right?”
