Chapter 197: Excitement, The Case Is Too Big, We Can’t Eat It…

“Before that, I need to know who your supplier is,” Su Xuan spoke as Zhao Qian desperately sought pills. The other officers were afraid he might lose control again, but they were surprised by Su Xuan’s firmness. They looked at him in amazement, and even the stenographer, who had been sitting nearby listening, gave him a thumbs-up.

Su Xuan hadn’t promised anything, but to Zhao Qian, it sounded like if he revealed the information, Su Xuan would provide him with the pills. Knowing he had no choice, Zhao Qian decided to speak.

“I don’t know who that person is,” he began, “but I can be sure he’s the one who got me addicted to drugs.”

As Zhao Qian spoke, his face contorted with anger. It was evident that, despite the years that had passed, he still felt a deep sense of resentment about the whole situation. If only he had the same level of awareness back then, he wouldn’t have been fooled into taking those drugs.

Now, his body was thoroughly controlled by the drugs, and he couldn’t live without them. No matter how many times he tried to quit, it was useless. If he went a day without using, his body itched terribly, and he couldn’t resist the urge to scratch himself raw.

“So, how did you receive the drugs?” Su Xuan furrowed his brow, pulling Zhao Qian’s thoughts away from his anger.

Zhao Qian hesitated for a moment, then replied, “I obtained them through a specific method each time. Once I had them, I would take them directly to Shenzhen.”

“At first, I was surprised that they were sent to me from my hometown,” he continued. “Later on, I just kept getting them in my hometown. I could use Xiao Zhi as a cover. As long as I took him out to play every month or so, no one would suspect anything.”

Zhao Qian had many tricks up his sleeve. He had been worried initially about not being able to move such a large quantity of drugs through his hometown, but he eventually learned how to use Xiao Zhi as a tool. Over the years, he had never failed.

“Obtained them in your hometown?” Su Xuan paused for a moment and quickly identified a blind spot. “Wait a minute, are you saying that in the beginning, before you started getting them in your hometown, the drugs were sent directly to you?”

“Sent by what means?” he asked, “Courier?”

At these words, not only Su Xuan but also the other officers’ faces changed. They stared at Zhao Qian with nervous anticipation. If it was sent by courier, who had such extraordinary capabilities to bypass all inspections and deliver the drugs to Zhao Qian? Moreover, repeatedly?

“No, you’ve got it wrong,” Zhao Qian hastily explained. “The drugs weren’t sent directly to me. Instead, the other side would send me a message indicating where I should pick them up.”

“If my connections weren’t all in Shenzhen, I wouldn’t have traveled this far to make deliveries,” he continued. “After all, the initial deliveries were made to my hometown.”

“Now, I’ve set up a network of operations in my hometown,” Zhao Qian added. As he spoke, Zhao Qian didn’t perceive anything wrong with what he was saying; in fact, he seemed quite proud of himself. Over the years, he had used drugs to control many people, including wealthy individuals and those who could single-handedly destroy a company with their actions. In his hands, they all obediently followed his commands, offering him money and connections.

Su Xuan and the others exchanged glances, and Su Xuan took a seat while another officer took over the questioning. Their questions were intricate and peculiar, but upon closer examination, they seemed to be connected.

Under normal circumstances, Zhao Qian would never have answered their questions. However, he was currently in the grip of his drug addiction and had just woke up after being injected with a sedative. His body and mind were in an agitated state, and he couldn’t see the traps hidden in their words.

Thank you for cooperating with the investigation,” Su Xuan said as the questioning neared its end. Zhao Qian’s face had been growing increasingly red, but it was an unhealthy red tainted with madness, clearly indicating that the sedative was losing its effect. It wouldn’t be long before Zhao Qian couldn’t hold out any longer.

In the frenzied look in Zhao Qian’s eyes, Su Xuan calmly continued, turning to the officer who had been taking notes. The officer nodded in response. With the newly acquired leads, continuing the investigation would be straightforward.

However, upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, a sinister expression crept over Zhao Qian’s face.

“You lied to me, you lied to me!” he shouted. “You actually lied to me! You said you would give me pills!”

“Give them to me, give them to me!” he demanded, standing up and attempting to rush towards Su Xuan.

The officers in the interrogation room immediately moved in to restrain Zhao Qian. A person in the throes of a drug-induced frenzy could still be quite strong. Earlier, they had almost lost control, but now, the officers exerted all their strength while someone fetched the sedative.

As Zhao Qian’s eyes gradually grew vacant under the influence of the sedative,

Su Xuan approached him, standing in front of him.

“Cooperating with the investigation is what you should be doing,” Su Xuan began. “But as for those pills…”

Whether I have them or not, I will never give them to you,” he continued, cutting off Zhao Qian’s expectations. Zhao Qian’s eyes filled with anger and a hint of murderous intent as his eyelids drooped.

“Sergeant Su, is this really a good idea?” the officer responsible for recording the proceedings looked at Su Xuan with concern, seeing his provocative demeanor.

Su Xuan gazed coldly at Zhao Qian in front of him, his lips curling slightly.

Rest assured,” he replied. “Hasn’t he already been given a sedative?”

“Instead of worrying about that, we should start our investigation,” Su Xuan continued. “We can only trust half of what this guy says. We’ll have to wait until we’ve conducted our investigation to know the specifics.”

With those words, the officer, who had been initially concerned, quickly changed his expression and nodded vigorously. “Right!”

“Su Xuan, you’re absolutely right. I’ll go check right away!”

He knew that Su Xuan would be meeting with Zhou Qiang later, so he didn’t insist on accompanying him and immediately left the interrogation room.

Su Xuan followed him out and headed straight to Old Mai’s office. Based on Zhao Qian’s confession, he could already tell that this case was beyond their capabilities. It was time to involve Old Mai in solving this matter.

“The situation is just as I suspected,” Su Xuan remarked, his serious expression softening. “If necessary, we should hand it over to the narcotics division.”

‘Til handle this case,” Su Xuan continued. “Both of you just need to ensure that it concludes smoothly.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan’s stern demeanor relaxed significantly. “Very well.” “With your assurance, Old Mai, I feel much better about this,” he added. “This case is indeed quite significant, and it’s beyond our capacity.”

Old Mai looked at Su Xuan. Youngsters were full of vitality, unafraid even when faced with major cases. They knew when to push forward and when to step back. He couldn’t help but feel that he had grown old.

“Alright,” Old Mai conceded. “I’ve got a handle on this matter now. You can go back.”

“These few days have been tough,” he continued. “Hurry and resolve the case. I need to prepare to transfer it elsewhere.”

“Otherwise, those old guys might cause trouble for you,” Old Mai warned.

Su Xuan immediately saluted. He was deeply touched by Old Mai’s support. “Yes, Old Mai!”

“I won’t let your trust go to waste!”
