Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

After coming out of the interrogation room,

Shen Qianqian and Hu Daqiang felt as if they were waking from a dream.

They were both professional criminal detectives with extensive experience in interrogations. Don't judge Shen Qianqian by her mere three or so years on the force; she had apprehended no small number of criminals and conducted many interrogations.

Yet, they had never come across a suspect like Yu Qin.

Last time, not a word.

This time, she knew everything and said it all.

What was going on?

This question lingered in both their minds.

Therefore, after the interrogation concluded, she specially asked Yu Qin, "Why didn't you talk during the last interrogation?"

It was a rather amateurish question.

But Shen Qianqian, for the moment, didn't know how to get an answer.

Yu Qin didn't respond directly to her either.

Just calmly said, "You should ask Lin Chuan about that."

Then, she stopped talking.

Shen Qianqian pursed her lips, humming to herself resentfully, Lin Chuan that guy, he's even got hidden tricks up his sleeve, able to pry open Yu Qin's mouth.

If I learned this trick, interrogations from now on would be a breeze.

"Comrade Lin Chuan, would you like some tea?"

Shen Qianqian approached the reception room with a smiling face, her attitude quite amiable.

Lin Chuan was idly looking at a wall painting. Hearing her voice, he turned around: "Can I have Officer Shen's tea?"

"Of course, you can!"

If it were any other day, she might have bantered with Lin Chuan, but currently, she was eager to know his method, so she uncharacteristically poured him a cup of tea with a friendly expression and handed it to Lin Chuan.

Hu Daqiang, on the side, teased with a sneer, "Officer Shen has never poured me tea like that."

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow: "Is that so?"

Shen Qianqian turned towards Hu Daqiang and scoffed lightly, "Captain Hu, don't you dislike tea?"

"Did I say that?" Hu Daqiang himself was dumbfounded.

"You have a poor memory," Shen Qianqian teased.

Hu Daqiang laughed and poured himself a cup, then sat down beside Shen Qianqian, waiting for her to ask her question.

Shen Qianqian turned to Lin Chuan, gesturing for him to sit down across from her.

She blinked softly, the light of curiosity twinkling in her eyes: "Comrade Lin Chuan, there's something I'm really curious about and would like to ask you."

Lin Chuan took a light sip of the tea.

The tea at the police station, especially in this reception room, was usually Pu'er, which he had drunk so often that the taste was very familiar to him.

"Can this Pu'er Tea be switched out for Tieguanyin?" Instead of answering Shen Qianqian's question, Lin Chuan glanced at his tea and frowned.

Shen Qianqian paused for a moment, her gaze lingering on Lin Chuan as she looked him up and down.

It lasted only a second.

She then rose and quickly exited the reception room, rummaging through the criminal investigation team's supplies until she finally found some Tieguanyin.

Afterward, she poured a cup of hot water and directly put the Tieguanyin tea leaves in it, placing it in front of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan curled his lips: "Captain Hu, is this how you brew Tieguanyin?"

Captain Hu also curled up his lips, hurriedly waving his hands: "Comrade Lin, as Officer Shen said, I don't like tea much, I don't really know how to brew Tieguanyin; there's some stuff to do back at the team, I'll leave first."

Having said that, he promptly made his exit.

Lin Chuan smiled faintly.

Clearly, it was on purpose.

A rare opportunity to tease Shen Qianqian came by, and it put him in a good mood.

Shen Qianqian naturally also knew what Lin Chuan was thinking, and while she chided him internally, her face maintained a smile: "Lin Chuan, can I ask you my question now?"

Lin Chuan blew on the hot Tieguanyin and, finding it still very hot, chuckled: "Go ahead and ask."

Shen Qianqian's face lit up with delight, and she leaned in to ask, "Do you know that in the interrogation room just now, Yu Qin confessed everything?"

"I know."

Lin Chuan wasn't surprised by this.

However, Shen Qianqian appeared amazed and was very curious, "How did you manage to make her talk?"

"Cooperating with the police's work, isn't that a duty that should be fulfilled?" Lin Chuan smiled.

"You're not telling the truth!" Shen Qianqian playfully chided.

Lin Chuan smiled: "Actually, it's simple, just get into her heart and tell her that what she is doing is wrong."

Shen Qianqian eyed Lin Chuan skeptically.

She strongly suspected that Lin Chuan was fooling her.

No, not suspected, she was certain!

Pry open the mouth of a suspect by getting into her heart?

And also, telling her what she's doing is wrong?

If she knew it was wrong, why would she do it?

Seeing Shen Qianqian's reaction, Lin Chuan knew she didn't catch his meaning and picked up the original cup of Pu'er, taking a sip to moisten his throat.

"You're just blabbering."

Shen Qianqian reached her conclusion.

Lin Chuan casually replied, "You might think it's blabbering, but I believe it to be the truth."

"You're really not toying with me?" Shen Qianqian's clear, radiant eyes stared fixedly at Lin Chuan, but his gaze remained earnest and sincere, without a hint of deception, as he focused on drinking his tea.

This puzzled her even more.

So she asked again, suddenly also wanting to tease Lin Chuan, "How did you get into Yu Qin's heart? Are you having an affair with her?"

Pfft—

Lin Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fortunately, he had already swallowed the tea he had in his mouth, or he would have sprayed it all over Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian's mouth twitched.

Blatant mockery!

"Comrade Lin Chuan, let's be serious. If you give a good answer, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!" Left with no choice, Shen Qianqian had to up the ante on the 'dinner.'

Lin Chuan's eyebrows shot up, and he explained: "Well, I'll be serious then. I really did engage in a soul-to-soul conversation with Yu Qin, soul, you know? That's a very mysterious thing. But when you understand the soul of a criminal suspect, you can converse with her, and she'll be willing to confess everything to you."
