Chapter 2222: Why Do You Admit It Now?

"No, I don't have these things. I never keep illegal stuff in my house!" Zhou Litao kept on denying it.
How was it possible? How could these things appear in his study?
"I'm sorry, but we found these things in your study. Whether they're yours or not, you need to go to the Public Security Bureau with us. Do you want to go on your own, or do you want to be dragged out by my people?" Xiong Xingyi said. He didn't sound polite at all now.
"No, I won't go. These things don't belong to me at all. I've been framed. Yes, it's a set up! Xiong Xingyi, did you reach an agreement with someone and frame me on purpose?" Zhou Litao questioned. He was implying Song Wenxuan, because Xiong Xingyi was in the same faction as Song Wenxuan.
Right after Song Wenxuan encountered the attempted assassination, he got in trouble and Xiong Xingyi took people to visit his home in person. It must have something to do with Song Wenxuan!
It seemed that they still believed that he was involved in the attempted assassination of Song Wenxuan, but they lacked solid proof, so they framed him.
"Frame you? Why should I help anyone to frame you?" Xiong Xingyi understood what Zhou Litao was implying, but he played dumb. He refused to admit that it was a set up and said it was just his duty.
"You…" Zhou Litao didn't know what to say, because he couldn't confess to the crime and tell them what he had done to Song Wenxuan, or he would fall into the trap set by them!
"I've been framed! I didn't have these things in my house." Zhou Litao argued. He believed he was innocent and felt quite aggrieved.
"Don't worry. If you're really being framed, we promise we'll clear your name, but now you must go to the Public Security Bureau with us," said Xiong Xingyi. In fact, it was impossible for them to clear his name. If they really wanted to do that, they wouldn't have bothered to frame him.
"No, I won't go. I won't. It's obviously a set up." Zhou Litao struggled. Since it was a set up, he wouldn't be able to come home again after leaving with them, unless he found evidence to prove that it was a set up. And he felt it would be hard to find the evidence, because Song Wenxuan was always meticulous.
However, no matter how Zhou Litao struggled, he was finally taken away by Xiong Xingyi and Gu Ning left too.
When Zhou Litao was taken away, other members of the Zhou family were full of anxiety, but didn't know what to do. Mrs. Zhou could only call Zhou Litao's friends for help.
After Zhou Litao's friends learned about what had happened, they were shocked as well.
Because they were on the same boat as Zhou Litao and had a good relationship with him, they believed that Zhou Litao wouldn't keep illegal stuff in his house. It had to be a set up.
Actually, although they didn't keep illegal stuff in their places, none of them were incorruptible, but no matter how corrupt they were, they wouldn't keep the bribes in the study, because they were afraid of being caught.
However, Xiong Xingyi searched Zhou Litao's house at this time and took him away. It had to be Song Wenxuan's order. After all, Xiong Xingyi was in the same faction as Song Wenxuan.
If it was really Song Wenxuan's order, did Song Wenxuan plan to remove Zhou Litao or was it because of Zhou Litao's involvement in the attempted assassination?
Although Zhou Litao's friends didn't know who ordered the attempted assassinate of Song Wenxuan, there were limited suspects and Zhou Litao was quite likely to be guilty. After all, it was not only Zhou Litao who wanted the promotion, their leaders also hoped Zhou Litao could be promoted. So if Zhou Litao wanted to have that position, he had to get rid of the stumbling block.
Anyway, it was just a guess. Most importantly, they had to help Zhou Litao out now.
Therefore, Zhou Litao's friends told Mrs. Zhou to check the surveillance videos around their house to see whether there were suspects. They would report to their leaders.
It was obviously a set up, because their leaders were aware that Zhou Litao had ordered Song Wenxuan's assassination. They also believed it was revenge from Song Wenxuan.
However, even if they knew it, they needed evidence to prove it, so their leaders told them to collect evidence first, or it would be very difficult.
It wasn't a big problem to keep jewelry and gold in the house, but it was serious trouble to have guns and drugs.
Mrs. Zhou watched the surveillance videos around her house, but found no suspects.
It was a really serious problem now.
In that case, Zhou Litao's friends advised her to find a scapegoat, and the best scapegoat was the security guard. Only the security guards could walk around freely in the house, so it was convenient for them to set him up.
Knowing that, Mrs. Zhou immediately went to see the two security guards and made one of them the scapegoat.
Neither of them was willing to do that, so Mrs. Zhou used coercion and bribery. Finally, a security guard agreed.
However, the security guard didn't go to confess the crime right now. It needed more than just a few words to be the scapegoat. He would have to tell the whole process of the crime, so he had to figure out a reasonable account tonight.
After Zhou Litao was taken to the Public Security Bureau, he faced interrogation at once. He kept on denying that he had kept the illegal stuff in his house, and insisted on saying that it was a set up.
In fact, Zhou Litao clearly knew who did it and why the person did it, but he couldn't say it aloud. Or he would be found guilty of attempting to assassinate Song Wenxuan. It was impossible to get away with that crime.
Although it was a set up, they still needed to do the investigation, so Xiong Xingyi went to watch the surveillance videos around Zhou Litao's house to see whether there were suspects going in and coming out of it.
Without surprise, they found no evidence to prove it was a set up and Zhou Litao felt more hopeless. He then tried to make his security guards the scapegoat and said one of them must have been bribed and helped someone frame him.
Because he said that, Xiong Xingyi told his people to bring the two security guards over for the interrogation.
The security guard who was chosen to be the scapegoat was still making up his account, but the police met him before he could finish. Therefore it would be difficult, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to face it and went to the Public Security Bureau.
Because the security guard had thought about the account, he managed to answer the questions during the interrogation. However, he didn't carefully think about it, so there were a lot of loopholes.
"Why did you frame Zhou Litao?" asked the interrogator.
"Someone threatened me with my mother. If I didn't obey the order, my mother would be injured, so I had to agree," said the security guard.
"Then why are you admitting it now? Aren't you afraid your mother will be injured?" asked the interrogator.
