Chapter 40: The Cunning Plan of the Police Flower Queen
The interrogation room seemed gloomy from the lack of sunlight for such a long time; if dressed too lightly, one would start shivering in no time.
Lin Hai was currently getting that shivering sensation, craning his neck and staring around with his eyes wide. The words written on the wall behind him were not "leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist," but the more benevolent exhortation "a moment's misstep, a parent's concern."
The interrogation chair, made specifically for grilling suspects, was made of solid iron, and sitting on it was bound to cause stomach pains in no time.
Having removed her heavy makeup and changed into a policewoman's uniform, Qi Weiwei gave off a valiant and refreshing vibe, commanding respect without anger in her eyes. The occasional terrifying sharpness in her almond-shaped eyes could easily make a criminal's heart skip a beat.
At this moment, she was sitting opposite Lin Hai, her eyes scrutinizing him from head to toe, checking him all over.
He couldn't articulate how embarrassed he felt, all because he had last said, "Officer, do you want my boxers?" And indeed, as a result, he was now just wearing his tight underpants and a pair of black socks, sitting on the cold iron chair, looking at Qi Weiwei, whose gaze was 'ferociously,' extremely 'bashful.'
Two laid-back policemen stood to the left and right of Lin Hai, holding those huge, thick, black rubber police batons that could instantly burst someone's backside. They observed him with great interest, the kind of stare that made him bristle with discomfort.
"Hey, officer, I can complain about your abuse of an innocent citizen!" Lin Hai, shackled to the interrogation chair, complained miserably.
"Name!" Qi Weiwei's voice was utterly emotionless, resonating in Lin Hai's ears without a hint of warmth.
The two watchful policemen were staring at the only piece of black clothing left on Lin Hai, trying hard not to laugh out loud, mainly because there was a line in the middle of Lin Hai's black underwear that read "I am a tiger," which made them want to burst out. However, in front of Queen Qi, they did not dare to act out and had to hold it in.
"I'm talking to you! What are you dazed for? Name!" Queen Qi's voice turned even colder.
"Lin Hai." Lin Hai's face was one of misery, having relentlessly mocked and provoked this Police Beauty Qi on the way here, which led to his current "special treatment."
"Age!"
"Confidential."
"Age!"
"Really confidential!" Lin Hai said helplessly.
Qi Weiwei's gaze moved up, locking eyes with Lin Hai.
"Last chance, your age, or else we'll start the hellish interrogation mode." Police Beauty Qi's voice turned completely icy.
"26." Lin Hai blurted out with no shame.
Qi Weiwei glanced at him, as if to say "that's more like it."
"Ethnicity!"
"Han!"
"Where do you live?"
"Rainbow Villa District B13, Huadu." Lin Hai honestly gave away Ouyang Xiaoya's address.
Upon hearing this, both Qi Weiwei and the two male policemen showed a look of surprise.
This sleazebag lives in a villa?
This guy was previously wearing a security guard uniform, how could he afford to live in a villa?
"What, don't believe it?" Lin Hai noticed their gaze, lifted his head proudly, and retorted.
"A small man getting cocky!" Qi Weiwei snorted coldly, glaring at him. ThiscopycomesfromcontentonM|V|L0EMPYR.
"What do you do for work?"
"Security guard!" Lin Hai replied truthfully.
"Married or not?"
"No, not married." Lin Hai added, "Still barely a half-virgin."
"I didn't ask you that!" Qi Weiwei rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Hai suddenly discovered that the police beauty's gaze was particularly attractive, with a unique charm, especially when her sanitary eyes rolled up—tsk tsk, quite a flavor.
"Do you know why I brought you here?" Queen Qi asked.
Lin Hai thought to himself how would I know, it's just a fight, no need for the big guns and short cannons to surround me, nor to drag me to this godforsaken place for interrogation like facing a formidable enemy.
"Could it be... for fighting?" Lin Hai weakly ventured a guess.
Qi Weiwei, remembering how her carefully laid plans for months were ruined because of this guy's fight, felt an itch to grab the black rubber batons from the police officers next to her and give Lin Hai a few good whacks on the behind to soothe her vexation.
Lin Hai, looking at Police Beauty Qi, suddenly felt an uncontrollable tightness in his rear.
"Hmph, intentional injury can send you to prison."
Queen Qi snorted coldly, with an expression that screamed, "you're done for."
"What?" Lin Hai's eyes widened as he feigned deep thought for a moment, then said, "Officer, I'm the victim here, okay? That gang wanted to harass my friend and even threatened to disable me, was I supposed to just sit there and wait for death?"
"You guys living off the state coffers, don't care about the people's feelings at all, I was defending myself!" Lin Hai grumbled his grievances.
"What did you do before?"
This fellow, with a sleazy face and wearing black underwear imprinted with the brazen slogan "I am a tiger," had single-handedly taken on more than twenty vicious hooligans.
Such a dangerous individual, she must figure out his background, for he posed a great threat to society and public safety. Qi Weiwei thought to herself, curiously wondering what exactly Lin Hai had done before.
"I forgot, can't remember, been mixing abroad for a few years." Lin Hai smacked his lips, craving for a smoke.
"Really forgot? Think harder." Queen Qi said without any expression.
"Really forgot. But give me a smoke, I might temporarily remember." Lin Hai replied confidently.
In his mind, based on what he'd seen in movies, the police usually offered cigarettes to suspects to get them to cooperate during interrogations. Now that his craving for nicotine struck, he naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity.
Police Beauty Qi glared at Lin Hai but still looked at her two subordinates beside him and said, "Who has a cigarette? Give this guy one."
A Zhonghua cigarette was then placed in Lin Hai's mouth.
"Hey, not bad. I can only afford the four-yuan Red Plum normally, we're all in uniform, why such a big difference?" His mouth wasn't sealed by the cigarette, as he muttered and whimpered.
Click, the lighter flicked, flashed before Lin Hai's eyes, Lin Hai leaned his head forward, lighting the cigarette, took a deep inhale, and exhaled through his nose, squinting his eyes with an utterly indulgent look.
"Smoke yourself to death." Qi Weiwei didn't understand why, but seeing Lin Hai's smug look made her teeth itch.
At that moment, on the other side, Xiao Jiba received a message, driving hurriedly towards the police station, inwardly incredibly gleeful.
Sitting next to him in the passenger seat, Xiao Jiji, also excited, said, "Cousin, that Lin guy is dead meat now, right? Once he's in our hands, let's show him how many eyes King Ma has."
Xiao Jiba nodded excitedly, thinking to himself that according to the message, Su Wanjing seemed to have been taken to the police station as well. His appearance on the scene not only could save the damsel in distress and win the goddess's heart but also take the chance to give Lin Hai a hard time.
For example, case handling also stresses the Scientific Outlook on Development nowadays, it's all about scientific techniques in investigations, you have to be flexible and adaptable.
Or for instance, snatching could be defined as robbery, fighting and brawling could be twisted into intentional injury—the effects are incomparable, and Xiao Jiba had done such things more than a few times.
"This time, not only will I make sure you're utterly defeated, I'll have you expelled from the Youming Ya Group, and eventually, I'll see to it that you rot in prison. Daring to defy me, Xiao Jiba, got sick of living."
