Chapter 341 Leniency for Confession
Seeing the police uniform, he made a decision.
"If you confess voluntarily, can you be treated leniently?"
Upon hearing this, the police officer suddenly realized that the matter might be serious and quickly grabbed his arm.
"Come on, let's go in and talk in detail."
After a conversation, the police officer roughly understood his purpose.
"So, you owe too much money and can't pay it back?"
"Well, I only borrowed 5,000 at first, thinking I could pay it back quickly. Unexpectedly, it gradually became tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and a million... I, I don't have that much money to pay it back."
The police officer thought he was just a little anxious because he couldn't pay back the money, so he quickly tried to persuade him:
"This is a common loan scam. The interest rate seems very low, but in fact, there are traps inside. The interest rate can be very scary. But you don't have to worry too much. The contract here is actually not in compliance with the law. You only need to pay the lowest annual interest rate in the clause. Anything above that is invalid interest."
Calculated in this way, the total amount including principal and interest is only more than 10,000 yuan.
The police officer originally thought that after this persuasion, he would feel a lot more relieved.
Unexpectedly, his emotions suddenly collapsed.
"It's too late... It's already too late..."
"What's wrong?"
After some more questioning, the police finally learned the subsequent events.
"How could you be so stupid! Do you know what this means?"
In excitement, he angrily pounded the table several times, making it bang on the wall.
"I didn't agree at first, but they promised to give me money... If I couldn't pay it back, they would tell my family about it... I really had no way out at the time, and I regret it so much now..."
Faced with this pitiful yet hateful young man, the police officers sighed repeatedly.
"Tell us all the information you know. What you've done cannot be undone, but if you confess, you may get a lighter sentence."
"Okay, I will definitely cooperate with you fully."
…
Jijing University.
Meetings on the controlled nuclear fusion project are still ongoing.
Lin Shi finally finished her story and returned to her seat.
The experts present were all very satisfied with Lin Shi’s performance just now.
Although Lin Shi did not speak for long, he was able to describe the characteristics of this material very well.
"Huh~ I'm finally done."
Lin Shi was actually very nervous the whole time. She tried hard to focus on the speaking part and suppress her nervousness.
Xu You also gave Lin Shi an affirmative look, indicating that Lin Shi performed well.
After that, Deng Fu went back to the front and summarized some other issues.
Just at this moment.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Everyone was a little surprised by this.
At meetings of this level, there are professional security guards guarding outside.
It is very impolite to interrupt a meeting before it is over.
Deng Fu walked to the door following the knock and opened it.
It turned out to be several people in police uniforms.
"Is there anything wrong?" Deng Fu asked.
"Excuse me, is Professor Chen Pingqiu here? We need to talk to him about something."
Chen Pingqiu was stunned when he heard this, and said quickly:
"Looking for me? I'm in a meeting right now. Can't we talk about it later?"
Chen Pingqiu seemed a little angry. In his eyes, these police officers seemed to lack tact.
Seeing that Chen Pingqiu's attitude was not very cooperative, the police officers were no longer polite.
"Mr. Chen Pingqiu, this is our work ID. Now you are obliged to cooperate with us in handling the case. If you don't, we can only take compulsory measures."
Chen Pingqiu is usually quite strong, but he is also a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak.
Seeing several police officers in such a posture, Chen Pingqiu also knew that things seemed not that simple.
" I understand, police officer. I will fully cooperate. Academician Deng, I will cooperate with these police officers in handling the case. How long will it take for this matter to be concluded? The task at hand is very important, so it is best not to delay it for too long."
"That's not something we can be sure of. Come back with us first."
When being taken away by several police officers, Chen Pingqiu was still explaining the project to other experts and said that he would definitely come back as soon as possible.
But the people present vaguely realized that this matter seemed to be very serious.
After Chen Pingqiu was taken away, Deng Fu tried hard to calm down and continue the unfinished meeting.
After the meeting, Xu You and Lin Shi returned to Xu You's laboratory together.
"Teacher, has a situation like today ever happened before?"
Lin Shi was also quite surprised that Chen Pingqiu was suddenly taken away.
"No, this is the first time I've seen such a thing. You don't have to worry about it, just focus on your scientific research."
"I know. I won't tell anyone about it."
Although he said this, Xu You still had some guesses of his own about this matter.
Based on Xu You's understanding of Chen Pingqiu, Chen Pingqiu's professional ability is still acceptable. Although his personality is not likable, he is not a very evil person.
But these police officers took Chen Pingqiu away in such a hurry. The seriousness of the matter is definitely not as simple as it seems.
Xu You felt that Chen Pingqiu might have gotten into something very serious inadvertently.
As the storm gradually passed, everyone continued to focus on scientific research.
The new controlled nuclear fusion device designed by Xu You has entered the project establishment stage.
Because the project is of great significance and has certain application prospects.
This project has received great attention internally.
Once controlled nuclear fusion is truly achieved.
From now on, humans may never have to worry about energy again.
In order to facilitate the experiment, it was decided to build a new nuclear fusion device at a location around Jijing based on Xu You's design.
For safety reasons, this location cannot be too close to Jijing and needs to be built in a relatively remote location.
At the same time, in order to facilitate experts such as Xu You to travel to the controlled nuclear fusion device site, this location cannot be too far away from the center of Jijing City.
After detailed planning and repeated consideration.
Finally, several suitable locations were selected.
…
Inside the interrogation room.
"What? Are you saying that I leaked the crucial secret?"
Chen Pingqiu seemed to find it very unbelievable when facing the interrogator's words.
The interrogator did not rush to explain, but took out a photo.
"Chen Pingqiu, this person is your student, right?"
