"It is illegal to merge on a solid line. But many people don't pay attention to it. Just like that, at the agreed intersection, a Citroën came from the side and wanted to overtake. I saw the opportunity and let the front of his car pass first.

Hit him on the solid line."

"When the police came, I was found not responsible."

"Because I drove a school bus, it seemed fair to those punters. Because school buses are very safe, and the passengers on the bus were all students at the time, everyone subconsciously believed that there could be no problem."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao asked: "Where is the person you had a collision with? The gamblers don't think he has no problem, right?"

Xu Yongde replied: "That is a matter about the casino. As for how to clarify and how to disclose the identity of the person, it has nothing to do with me. But according to my guess, the casino may start from the vehicle insurance purchased by the other party. In this way, it can

The credibility is high.”

Hu Pingtao said in a serious tone: "How much benefit did you get from it?"

"Fifty thousand yuan. Including the 60,000 yuan I bet, the total is 110,000 yuan." Xu Yongde reluctantly admitted honestly: "Because the "field situation" created was not influential enough and the effect was not very good, so I got it

The money is not much. This mainly depends on the number of gamblers’ bets. The more the casino makes, the more I will share, otherwise it will be less.”

Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "Why is influence so important in this kind of thing?"

Xu Yongde nodded and replied: "The more influential the event, the more people will pay attention to it. It is best to be something that can make headlines, that is, a so-called big event, so as to attract gamblers to double their bets."

"I saved the money and gave it to Peiping on a monthly basis. I told her that I had found a part-time job outside and I would be able to earn double salary every month from now on. I had no other ideas. I just asked her to do what she did before.

Live a good life with me."

Hu Pingtao asked noncommittally: "What happened next?"

"Later... Zhang Yacui found me and said that she knew about my deal with the casino." Xu Yongde lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face.

Hu Pingtao was very surprised: "Didn't you say you signed a secret agreement with the casino? How did Zhang Yacui know?"

Xu Yongde raised his head with a complicated expression: "...She is very smart. I later realized that she actually didn't know anything and just guessed based on her feelings."

Hu Pingtao became more and more surprised: "Can you guess this kind of thing?"

Xu Yongde explained with a wry smile: "Actually, her guess makes sense. She knows me and often sees me in and out of casinos. She has gone to casinos many times and is considered an old gambler, so Zhang Yacui knows the "market situation" of gambling.

This is a way of playing. I don’t know if she was specifically involved, but she connected me, the school, the school bus, the casino, and the accident, and deliberately defrauded me... I was originally guilty, but after being frightened by her, I said things I shouldn’t have said.

Told her everything."

"Your psychological quality is very bad!" Hu Pingtao sighed: "A little girl is better than you... tell me! What have you done?"

Xu Yongde fell into memories: "Zhang Yacui threatened me with this, asking me to help her and become a big vote."

"She said she was like me and needed a lot of money."

"At first I didn't want to agree, and Zhang Yacui didn't force me. She told me that she was making money to help her mother treat her illness. So I followed her to her house and saw the actual situation... She really didn't lie to me, so I acted

Understood."

Hu Pingtao asked calmly: "Are you really so kind? You deliberately caused a car accident and earned 110,000. You gave it to your wife separately every month. After counting the time, the money was almost used up. In order to maintain your part-time job outside,

Lies, you have to get more money...am I right?"

Xu Yongde neither admitted nor denied: "Zhang Yacui said she had a plan and needed my cooperation."

"Every year at this time, the school asks teachers from each class to take students out for an outing. Zhang Yacui invited me out privately and asked me to find a way to cause a car accident on the way to the outing scenic spot."

"I've done this before, and the second time I did it I was more experienced than the first time. That... police officer, I want to make it clear that at that time I really didn't think about making the matter so big. I always felt that the concept of a car accident

It's like two cars colliding, or hitting a roadside fence or something. At most, the car is damaged, but the person is fine."

Hu Pingtao has been watching him.

Xu Yongde's eyes showed anxiety.

It was obvious that he probably wasn't lying.

Seeing that Hu Pingtao didn't reply for a long time, Xu Yongde became more anxious and subconsciously raised his voice: "I swear! I didn't lie to you!"

Hu Pingtao waved his hands and said seriously: "It's not important. The car accident has already happened and five students died. No matter what you thought before, you can't change the status quo... Go on! What is Zhang Yacui's plan?

?”

Xu Yongde opened his mouth, and his mood quickly became depressed. He seemed to have been drained of all his energy, and he was not as excited as before. He could not even sit up straight and could only lie forward.

"...Zhang Yacui slept with me, and she took the initiative to seduce me. Do you believe it?" He suddenly said this without warning. It was more of a different kind of provocation than a voluntary confession.

Hu Pingtao's eyes turned cold again and his words were sonorous: "Xu Yongde, please understand that this is the interrogation room of the police station, not your own home. Since we have brought you here, we already know your situation very well. I

I know that you are resistant and feel that you cannot be regarded as the mastermind in the whole case. But I have to remind you that you don't have the final say in this kind of thing. You are not qualified to bargain with us."

These words were both threatening and intimidating. Like a sharp sword, they completely shattered the dissatisfaction and luck in Xu Yongde's heart.

Hu Pingtao leaned his upper body forward and made a strong intimidation gesture: "You don't have to say anything, you can still keep all the secrets in your heart. This is your right and freedom."

After a pause, he emphasized his tone and continued with a sneer: "Everything is time-sensitive. We police are not just freeloaders. Although Zhang Yacui is dead, those people in the underground casino are still there. As long as they are arrested and questioned, many things will be revealed.

Can get to the bottom of things."

"Do you think it will be fine if you don't tell us? We can also learn about the situation from other aspects. When the facts of the case are clear, you will be more guilty. It is impossible for you to get leniency by then, and the judge will still fight with you because of your current refusal.

Those who are stubborn will be severely punished.”

"Let me remind you: this is not the Saxon colonial period. Hong Kong City returned to Hong Kong in 1997. Although it is one country, two systems, in terms of law, the mainland has a great influence on Hong Kong City. Many cases... especially like this one

Car accidents have had a negative impact on society.

Do you think that if Zhang Yacui dies, you can put all the blame on her? Do you think that a mere "I don't know" can be enough to fight to the end? Xu Yongde, I tell you, it's better to be smart, this is China, our legal reservations

In addition to the death penalty, there is also an unlimited period of hard labor!”

Hu Pingtao's words were half-truths and half-falsities, and there were elements of threats and intimidation in them.

When handling cases in the past, he heard Wang Xiongjie say more than once: Some criminals are as proficient in existing legal provisions as professionals. They are not interested in the law itself, but after committing a crime, out of anxiety about the future

and panic, and are forced to understand the current laws. This preventive method is mainly to understand the extent of the crime you have committed? What kind of punishment will you face if you are caught?

Xu Yongde should be in this situation.

The Hong Kong police initially did not include him in the scope of charges. During his treatment in the hospital, Xu Yongde learned about the situation in detail. The Saxons had colonized Hong Kong for ninety-nine years, and many legal provisions had been tacitly accepted. Although

It has been more than 20 years since the return of 1997, but it is impossible to completely eliminate the impact of history.

Xu Yongde instinctively believed that the court would not sentence him to death.

What Hu Pingtao said just now completely shattered the last trace of fantasy in his heart.

His face turned pale and his lips trembled: "...don't...I...I don't want to die...you can't do this to me!"

Hu Pingtao pointed at him and shouted: "Tell me everything you know. If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be stern!"

"Tell me, why did Zhang Yacui go to Xiaofengshan?"

This is the biggest doubt in this case.

Xu Yongde fell into extreme fear. He couldn't wait to distance himself. Although his sentences were not coherent, his speaking speed became much faster under the huge psychological pressure: "She chose that place. This, this really tells me

It doesn't matter! Zhang Yacui told me that she and her boyfriend have been to Lantau Island and Siu Feng Shan, and both places are suitable for camping. But in comparison, she feels that the environment at Siu Feng Shan is much better."

Hu Pingtao asked: "Who is Zhang Yacui's boyfriend?"

"She has many boyfriends, several." Xu Yongde quickly replied: "I have seen four in the casino. I don't know what the relationship is between them. Because...because things like boyfriend and girlfriend...are really

It’s hard to say.”

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly without delving into this issue: "Continue."

"More than two months ago, Zhang Yacui asked me to borrow a car, saying she was going to see the scene. She...she deliberately seduced me and wore very revealing clothes. I swear, I really haven't had any feelings for her...

…Really, I’ve never touched her.”

Xu Yongde kept repeating the same topic. Hu Pingtao was very impatient. He raised his hand and slammed the table: "Xu Yongde, I'm warning you, I don't have time to play with you here. If you continue to ramble like this

, it will only add to the guilt! This is the last time I remind you——-get to the point!”

He must be afraid to deal with this kind of veteran who has been in society for many years.

"Okay, okay." Xu Yongde agreed repeatedly: "Zhang Yacui and I took a trip to Xiaofeng Mountain that day. She asked me to observe along the way and pay attention to the road sections suitable for causing car accidents. I have to say... Zhang Yacui is really too courageous.

The "car accident" she was referring to was very different from what I thought. It was not an ordinary collision of vehicles at all, but the car directly drove down the mountain."

"I was scared... To be honest, I have always adhered to the concept of safe driving, and I am very afraid of death. I have never even thought about deliberately causing a rollover... I do need money, but I don't want to

Die!"

"When I returned to the city that afternoon, Zhang Yacui took me to watch a movie."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao was very puzzled. He frowned and asked: "Watching a movie? She actually took you to watch a movie?"

Xu Yongde said honestly: "At first, I thought she had those thoughts about me. Later, when I entered the cinema, I realized that I was wrong. The movie I watched that day was "Fast and Furious", and there was a plot in which the protagonist was

I had no choice but to drive down the mountain. The hillside was too steep, at least 45 degrees."

Hu Pingtao understood immediately: "You mean, Zhang Yacui asked you to imitate the method in the movie and drive the school bus down the top of the mountain?"

Xu Yongde nodded; "She chose the road section where the accident happened. There was no fence there, and the slope of the hillside was not that steep. As long as the speed and direction of the vehicle were controlled, she could drive downhill and rush from the top of the slope to the bottom of the ditch."

"Zhang Yacui asked me if I was sure about doing this? She also said that this is the safest and most secure way. She has understood the body structure of the school bus, and the safety and stability are absolutely guaranteed. At most, the students riding on the bus will slide down during the car body.

He was injured due to the collision, but the injuries were not serious and would not lead to death."
