D F T F Chapter 113: Informant.
Zhang Ping took Han Bin to the captain's office of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team and Zheng Kaixuan joined them, he just returned from Group 1, they also have a case today.
Zheng Kaixuan couldn't make up his mind for a while: “Do not report this to the chief in advance. You two are going to interrogate Wang De Li, explore his tone and examine his attitude. If he has a positive attitude and is ready to help with the investigation, I'll speak to the chief shortly."
Zhang Ping listened seriously and nodded: "Captain Zheng is considerate."
“To be honest and tell you the truth, when I first came up with this idea, I was a little confused and unsure. I was worried about what was going to happen. Now, since I have two leaders who are accompanying me in the case, so I have it in my heart. That's all," Han Bin said with a smile.
Zheng Kaixuan was a little stunned and cried with laughter: "Next time you flatter me, remember to remind me in advance that I can record it. Usually, when I see the leaders of the province, I have nothing to say except work. I must learn from you."
Zhang Ping reached out and patted Han Bin on the shoulder, “This task is left to you. When Captain Zheng is promoted, we can also progress together with him."
Han Bin was speechless: "..."
Do you really think the old men are very bad at gossip and both still need Han Bin to teach them?
The three chatted a few words, then left the captain's office. Zhang Ping and Han Bin went to interrogate Wang De Li, and Zheng Kaixuan entered the observation room next door.
During the interrogation again, Wang De Li was more honest and directly stated his name, age, gender, and where he lives. He also took the initiative to ask Han Bin and Zhang Ping for their last names. Before, Wang De Li was not ignorant but deliberately wanted to keep his distance from the police.
“Police officer Zhang and police officer Han, if you have anything to ask, please don't hesitate to ask. I am ready to cooperate with the police investigation and show leniency."
“If you had such an attitude a long time ago, you wouldn't have come to this,” Zhang Ping hummed.
“Yes, I was confused,” Wang De Li hurriedly nodded.
Han Bin lifted his chin: "Wang De Li, where do you want to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
“Ah,” Wang De Li asked stunned: “Officer Han, what do you mean?”
“Do you want to spend the festival in the detention center or come home for the festival?”
"I ... of course I want to go home for the holidays," Wang De Li got very excited, arm resting on the interrogation chair, leaned forward: "Police officer, are you sure you want to let me go? "
"The police station is not your home, let alone my home. I do not intend holding you back, but you cannot go to your home if you want."
Wang De Li was immediately discouraged: "Officer Han, what do you mean by that?"
“I can't let you go, but you can do your own merits. Strive for a commutation or even probation."
“I'm ready to make atonement and am ready to make a switch!” Wang De Li seemed to have grabbed the straw that saved his life.
“You are now involved in two cases; one is to participate in a gathering of people to play a game of chance and the other is theft. As long as you help the police deal with the case and catch the organizer of bringing people together to play the game of chance and the suspect who robbed you is a meritorious act," Han Bin's tone was somewhat encouraging.
"What should I do to help the police?"
"We hope you can continue to participate in the game of chance, help us find the precise location of the casino, find out the situation and the staff inside the casino, as long as you can, in order to catch all the people coming together to play, everything will be fine. As long as you can help us catch all the people who come together to play, you will be deserving of credit."
"Let me be an undercover agent!" Wang De Li was surprised.
"You are still a long way behind the undercover agent. At best, you are an informant."
“Informant, I've never done it before. Can I really do it? "
“You don't need to be too nervous, and we don't need you to overdo it. Just put a microphone and a camera on you, record what you see and hear and you can participate in the game, as usual, this is the whole process,” Han Bin explained.
Wang De Li had been involved in the game before. Letting him act as an informant was safer than sending someone new undercover and would not arouse the suspicions of the players. The chances of success were much higher.
"But, what if I was discovered by them? Would they kill me?" Wang De Li wrung his hands. His palms were already sweaty.
"Article 303 of the criminal law stipulates whoever opens a casino shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detentions or public surveillance and shall also be fined; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than 10 years and shall also be fined," Han Bin paused and continued:
"Opening a casino is sentenced to a few years, which is far from the crime of homicide, so even if you are caught, they dare not kill you, at best they hit you."
"But if they have red eyes, what will I do if they want to kill me?" Wang De Li worried.
"Our police officers will protect you in secret. If we find out that you are exposed, we will rush to save you at time. Of course, there must be dangers. If you don't want to take risks, you can give up." The bad results are on the table, leaving Wang De Li to make his own choice.
"If I give up being an informer, for how long will I be condemned?"
"Anyone who brings people together to gamble for profit will be sentenced to up to three years' imprisonment, criminal detention, or public surveillance and will also be fined."
"What if the crime of obstructing public affairs is added?"
"The crime of obstructing public affairs is punishable by a fixed-term imprisonment of up to three years, criminal detentions, surveillance or a fine."
“You can remember so clearly, my boy." Zhang Ping was a little surprised.
Han Bin smiled, this is all the knowledge he exchanged from the criminal investigation database, otherwise, he is usually so busy at work, and how can he have time to recite the legal provisions.
"If these two counts add up, how long should I be sentenced?" Wang De Li said.
“The specific conviction should be based on a careful examination of your degree of prejudice, your attitude towards confession, and whether you have performed meritorious service. If you have major meritorious service, the sentence may be reduced or exempted,” Han Bin said.
Wang De Li looked a little agitated: "Can you give me a cigarette?"
Zhang Ping nodded. Han Bin stood up, lit a cigarette, and handed it to the other party.
"Thank you."
Wang De Li took the cigarette and hurriedly took a sip.
Neither Han Bin nor Zhang Ping urged him on, but sat quietly at the table, waiting for Wang De Li to make his own decision. While the two hope he chooses to act as an informant, they will not force him. The crooked melon is not sweet. Only if he is willing to reduce his sentence and will cooperate with the police.
If Wang De Li is reluctant, Han Bin won't prefer to use him as an informant, lest the matter turns out badly, and he must shoulder his responsibilities.
Why bother?
When he finished smoking, Wang De Li said: "Police officer Zhang and police officer Han, if I am a police informant, can I only be fined, not be sentenced to imprisonment?"
“We cannot guarantee this,” Han Bin said sincerely.
“I just hope to keep my job, otherwise I'll be done for the rest of my life,” Wang De Li sighed.
"Of course you can reduce your sentence. The police can certainly help you and will do their best to help you. However, if you want to balance your merits and demerits and act like no one else, that's unpractical,” said Zhang Ping.
Han Bin knew full well that Wang De Li would be punished for both crimes. It is impossible for him to keep the job at the Water Conservation Bureau. People are still responsible for what they do.
"I want to ask for another cigarette."
Han Bin stood up and lit another cigarette for him. Time passed, and when the second cigarette was over, Wang De Li made up his mind, clenched his teeth and said:
"Done, I'm ready to help the police as an informer."
Han Bin asked Wang De Li for a few more words, and then walked out of the interrogation room accompanied by Zhang Pin. Zheng Kaixuan also came out of the observation room and hammered Han Bin's chest with his hand: "You, my child, have done a good job, I will write in my report that the first merit is due to you when the matter will be resolved."
Han Bin smiled bitterly 'He owes me meritorious service.'
