The unnatural expression on Sun Jian's face lasted for two or three seconds.
Then, he composed himself and followed the three into the elevator.
He looked at Xu Mo.
"Officer, you must be joking. No matter how much I care about my sister, I know that murder is illegal. I would never do such a thing."
Xu Mo just smiled, without saying much.
He wasn't surprised at all by Sun Jian's response.
Which murderer would directly admit to their crime?
Whatever he said, they'd take him to the police station for questioning!
At the police station.
"Captain Han, we've brought the suspect in," said Wang Dachuan.
Han Fei nodded.
"Take him to the interrogation room."
For the interrogation, he called Xu Mo in as well.
He mainly wanted Xu Mo to assist with the questioning.
In the interrogation room, Sun Jian sat in the interrogation chair, with Han Fei and Xu Mo sitting opposite him.
Outside the room, a group of police officers were standing, peering in through the one-way glass.
"Do you think Xu Mo is really as amazing as they say? Can he really get someone to confess in just two sentences?"
"I doubt it. There's no one that skilled. Criminals know they'll go to jail, and who wants that? They all keep their mouths shut tight to avoid prison."
"I think so too, it's all rumors! Even Captain Han doesn't have that ability, how could Xu Mo be that good?"
"Dachuan, what do you think? You've had more contact with Xu Mo, what's your take on him?"
Hearing this, Wang Dachuan pondered for a moment.
Then he responded.
"You shouldn't underestimate Xu Mo. From what I've observed, I think... he's got some real skills!"
Meanwhile, inside the interrogation room.
"Sun Jian, tell us how you killed Zhang Guodong," Han Fei said, getting straight to the point.
Usually, when asked such a sensitive question, the real culprit would appear quite uncomfortable.
However, Sun Jian's demeanor was unusually calm, as if he had prepared for this in advance.
"Murder? Officer, I don't know what you're talking about. Who is Zhang Guodong? I don't even know him. Why would I kill someone I don't know? Do you have any evidence? You can't just falsely accuse a law-abiding citizen without proof, can you?"
Right from the start, Sun Jian positioned himself as the victim, portraying Han Fei and his team as the bad guys falsely accusing an innocent person.
Hearing this, Han Fei knew that Sun Jian was no pushover.
He was quite skilled at turning the tables!
Han Fei immediately pulled out some surveillance footage to show Sun Jian.
"Whether we're falsely accusing you or not, you know the truth. Of course we have evidence. Why would we bring you in without any? This cleaner in the surveillance footage is you, isn't it? The cameras recorded everything. You killed Zhang Guodong, didn't you?"
Sun Jian glanced at the footage, then immediately fixed his gaze on Han Fei.
"It's not me."
"Then where were you this afternoon?"
As soon as Han Fei finished speaking, Sun Jian quickly replied.
"I was at home playing video games. You can check my gaming account to see if I was online at the time."
"At the time? I didn't mention what time it was. How are you so sure you were home playing games when the crime occurred?" Han Fei narrowed his eyes.
Denying it wouldn't work.
Ordinary people who haven't experienced interrogation can't withstand the pressure.
Especially those criminals who think they're clever and prepare alibis in advance. What they believe to be airtight stories often have numerous holes when viewed by experienced officers.
Skilled police officers will use every means to make you slip up!
One wrong word and it's over.
Sun Jian immediately realized he had misspoken.
He chose to remain silent, refusing to say anything more.
Han Fei had seen plenty of suspects who opted for silence like this.
Ignoring Sun Jian's silence, he pulled out another piece of surveillance footage and continued.
"This footage must be you, right? We've specifically compared the individuals in both videos. Based on body shape, build, and walking gait, we can confirm it's the same person. So, this cleaner is also you. You disguised yourself as a cleaner, covered your face, killed Zhang Guodong, and then set a fire attempting to destroy evidence and cover up the crime..."
Hearing this, even with Sun Jian's strong composure, his expression changed slightly.
But he quickly thought of a rebuttal.
"Officer, that can't be considered evidence, can it? How can you determine that cleaner is me just based on a video? There are billions of people in the world. Isn't it normal for some to have similar body types and walking gaits?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Before Han Fei could respond.
Xu Mo, who had been silent until now, fixed his gaze on Sun Jian and said.
"We found the discarded cleaner's uniform. We discovered some skin cells and hair on it. Whether you're that cleaner or not, a simple DNA test will tell us..."
A flash of panic appeared on Sun Jian's face.
Han Fei couldn't help but glance at Xu Mo.
He thought to himself that Xu Mo was quite impressive.
This one sentence was enough to break down Sun Jian's psychological defenses.
Xu Mo continued.
"Confessing voluntarily and being forced to confess are completely different matters. We haven't done the DNA test yet. If you confess now, you still have a chance. Of course... if you want to spend a couple more years in prison, you can choose to keep denying it. You have a sister, right? There's a big difference between spending two more years with her or two less."
Sun Jian's eyes darted around, and he swallowed hard.
From his expression, it seemed he was weighing his options.
He didn't know if Xu Mo's words were true or false.
He wanted to take a gamble, but was afraid of losing.
However, Xu Mo had no intention of giving him much time to consider.
In situations like this, speed was crucial. A quick, decisive move to confuse the suspect and force a decision was necessary.
If Sun Jian had time to think it through, it would be too late.
In the next moment, Xu Mo stood up from his seat, walked to Sun Jian's side, and made a motion as if to pull Sun Jian's hair.
"Considering you have a sister, I wanted to give you a choice. If you don't want it, so be it."
Sun Jian instinctively tilted his head to dodge.
In that instant, he made his decision.
He didn't dare to gamble.
If he lost, he would miss out on a few years of his sister's growth.
How many sets of a few years does one have in life?
Suddenly, Sun Jian's tone softened.
"I'll talk... I killed Zhang Guodong."
Han Fei smiled.
Xu Mo indeed had some tricks up his sleeve. He was a master of psychological manipulation. Bringing him in for the interrogation was undoubtedly a correct decision.
It's worth noting that even Han Fei himself hadn't thought about the cleaner's uniform that Sun Jian had taken off and discarded carelessly.
He hadn't expected Xu Mo to use this point to directly break down Sun Jian's psychological defenses.
Outside the interrogation room.
The police officers watching through the one-way glass were all bewildered.
Just moments ago, they had been doubting the rumor that Xu Mo could make a criminal confess with just two sentences.
But now... it seemed to be true?
After all, Xu Mo had indeed managed to get Sun Jian to confess with just a few words!
After hearing Sun Jian's words, Xu Mo turned back to his seat.
He fixed his gaze on Sun Jian.
"Let's begin."

This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
