Chapter 1155 - 591: Dual-Pronged Breakthrough

At this moment, inside the interrogation room, Qin Feng ceded the main questioning position to Jiang An.

He himself picked up a pen and began taking notes, as Zhang Jun had already left the interrogation room.

Seeing the sudden change in the interrogators, Li Hui didn’t have much of a reaction; his facial expression remained ordinary, revealing no inkling of his inner thoughts.

Jiang An settled into his seat, staring directly at him.

For a long time, he didn’t speak.

Just like in traditional Chinese medicine’s method of observation and inquiry, his way of staring at the other person carried a certain psychological tactic, at least in terms of aura, making him feel the investigators’ determination and resolve.

After 5 minutes, Jiang An slowly opened his mouth and said, "Li Hui, not being able to be a complete man must be tormenting you greatly."

As soon as he said this, Li Hui raised his eyebrows sharply.

He didn’t expect the first words from the new interrogator to be like this.

Even Qin Feng, who was jotting down notes on the side, was slightly surprised.

According to the usual interrogation process, it would start with an aggressive barrage or a session of policy talk.

But Jiang An’s tone was very calm, almost like having a casual chat.

After hesitating a little, Li Hui said, "Since things have come to this, I have no choice but to accept."

"However, no matter what you say, I will absolutely not admit to something I haven’t done."

Just as he finished speaking, Jiang An waved his hand, "We, the criminal investigators, will not wrongfully accuse someone, and neither will the law."

"Moreover, with the current judicial administrative environment centered around trials, it’s impossible to wrongfully accuse anyone."

"So, please rest assured on that point. But, also remember, we won’t let any guilty person off either."

"I’m innocent; I don’t know what you’re talking about or what to say."

Jiang An ignored his interruption and continued speaking, "Your lower body was injured by a dog bite back then, but you are also a spirited man."

"As a member of the same gender, I can deeply understand your feelings. I guess in the dead of night, you also hate yourself for being physically incapable of fulfilling desires, yet having such strong desires."

"So I think, in that regard, you are worthy of sympathy."

"But sympathy does not mean that we can condone crime."

"Moreover, in this case, it wasn’t the first time you took out your desires on a woman’s body, was it?"

"Previously, through purchasing services, people sensed your abnormal behavior."

"No! I didn’t!"

"Didn’t? Then why would others remember the fishy smell on you so distinctly?"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. Fish sellers in the market also have a fishy smell."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An spoke, "Indeed, fish sellers have a fishy smell, but those with physiological defects, that’s only you."

As he spoke, Jiang An’s expression immediately turned serious, "We tracked down the women from whom you previously purchased services, and they reported your physical characteristics."

"Although you always wore a mask, the smell of your body, and your unique expressions were your distinct features."

"Those who engage in transactions know their places of service best, yet you chose to cover it up."

"In their minds, you are not a real man, which left a strong impression on them."

At this, Jiang An paused deliberately.

Li Hui’s face opposite had turned livid, becoming instantly furious.

"Do you know how they talked about you behind your back?"

Hearing this, Li Hui clenched his fist tightly, his blood pressure skyrocketing.

Jiang An continued, "You are not a real man; they even doubt you to be a eunuch, going out for fun."

"No!"

Suddenly, Li Hui became agitated, "I... I’m innocent, it’s all because of that little dog back then."

"If it weren’t for it, I guess I could display my vigor like a normal man now."

Immediately, Jiang An said, "But, that isn’t a reason for you to kill."

"Did those two women deserve to die?"

"I..... I really couldn’t control myself at the time..... truly couldn’t."

"That afternoon, after watching the film, my desire grew even stronger. I lost control then...."

Realizing something, Li Hui quickly shut his mouth mid-sentence....

Instantly, the entire interrogation room fell into silence.

At this moment, Jiang An’s mouth twitched as he turned to look at Qin Feng, meeting each other’s gaze and nodding slightly.

Both Jiang An and Qin Feng then directed their gaze towards Li Hui.

The man who had just slipped up now bore an expression of deep regret.

He collapsed onto the chair, utterly devoid of the vigor he had moments ago.

After a long while, Jiang An spoke, "We have been recording the entire time."

"Even if you choose to remain silent now, I believe that previous moment can fully serve as court evidence."

"Of course, if you can confess the facts, I believe the judge may understand your feelings at the time, maybe even spare your life."

Jiang An spoke lightly, but his words were very weighted.

While sympathizing with his plight, he also pointed out a path: To live, confess; not confessing doesn’t affect the case’s judgment.

After a long time, Li Hui raised his head and trembled as he said, "C-could I have a cigarette?"

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed directly on both Jiang An and Qin Feng.
