Lu Xingzhi would make that decision. If Lu Xingzhi were agreeable, the inquiry into Sergeant Ge’s property would finish there, with no more probing.
Sergeant Ge was a veteran who was also well-versed in the law. Naturally, he understood that if the scenario occurred and he were apprehended, all of his possessions would be confiscated and liquidated.
Sergeant Ge’s goal in purchasing a few houses was to place them on the market so that if something happened to him and the court took his property, he would not have to delve further into the properties that he might have concealed elsewhere. Sergeant Ge must have intended to leave that money to his wife and children.
Liang Yueze said, “Sergeant Ge’s wife is pregnant; she’s two months along.”
Lu Xingzhi gazed at the sky as though he was thinking about that problem.
He heard Lu Xingzhi say, “Investigate it.”
Then he went away.
Liang Yueze did not bother to pursue him. He expected Lu Xingzhi to come over to say goodbye or speak with Sergeant Ge’s wife, but he didn’t. He simply looked around and walked away.
“Third Brother…”
Zhou Weiqi rubbed the back of his neck. “Conduct an investigation and take all of Sergeant Ge’s possessions? Wouldn’t Sergeant Ge’s wife and children be too pitiful? Sergeant Ge’s wife has a son and is now expecting. Children cost money. How can a woman like her support them?”
Liang Yueze thought Lu Xingzhi’s decision was sound. The law did not accept compassion. It would not accept selfish adoration.
Sergeant Ge had died, and it was a tragic event for his wife and children. However, what about the family of those who died because of his actions? Were they not pitiful as well?
What about the children who had to leave their loved ones because of Sergeant Ge? Were they not pitiful as well? Were the trafficked young women not pitiful too?
What about the innocent informant who perished in vain and those who died in the mission?
A mistake was a mistake. Sergeant Ge committed a mistake, and as a result, he should be punished. What should be removed must not be maintained.
That was the correct course of action.
“Why are you not accompanying Jiang Yao to the hospital?”
Liang Yueze urged Zhou Weiqi. “What do you think Lu Xingzhi would do if anything should happen to Jiang Yao in the hospital?”
Zhou Weiqi nodded. “I’m going!” Then he shook his car keys and bolted.
Lu Xingzhi returned to the interrogation room after leaving the morgue. As soon as he walked in, the person in charge went to him and said, as if he were bragging. “Sergeant Lu, he was going to close his eyes just now. I woke him up with a beating!”
Lu Xingzhi took a look at Ah Da’s injuries, which he had ignored for more than ten minutes. He did not even bat an eyelid. Ah Da’s offense was a death sentence. Therefore, as long as he could extract vital information from him, he did not care what method he employed.
Ah Da had been interrogated for quite some time, but he had said nothing. The people in the room had a high-powered flashlight in their hands, and they would aim it directly into Ah Da’s eyes. As soon as Ah Da closed his eyes, the people next to him would immediately wake him up. He had no choice but to open his eyes again to look at the intense light.
Ah Da’s eyes could not take it anymore after such a long period. Even though he was not blind, his eyesight was blurry, and he could not see anything properly.
Ah Da’s injuries had not been treated or bandaged since he was apprehended. He had rolled over the cut on the ground, so there were still little stones in the wound.. If anything unfortunate happened, the whip would come down and press the stones into his wound.
