"Let's go, all of you, follow me."
After Xia Bing finished speaking, she grabbed the unconscious man with the gold chain and got into the modified police car directly.
Yang Yan and Wang Xue quickly exchanged a glance and silently sat in the back seat.
Xia Bing glanced at the hesitant woman beside her and said in a deep voice:
"You're also involved, come along!"
"Do I have to go too? Alright then!"
The woman in the cheongsam furrowed her brows but eventually nodded and followed them into the car.
Xia Bing drove quickly, and since her district office was nearby, they arrived shortly.
"Captain Xia, come over for a moment. We just received a report saying there's been a murder in a neighborhood. The director wants us to take over. I was just about to call you."
As soon as they entered, an officer carrying a pile of documents walked over.
"Another murder? Okay, I'll handle it immediately. Zhang, come here, these people were fighting in the street, take their statements."
After saying this, Xia Bing turned and left.
The one Xia Bing called Zhang immediately came over, opened a folder, and prepared to take notes:
"Alright, tell me, what exactly happened?"
By this time, the man with the gold chain had come around. He clutched his injured groin and hurriedly exclaimed:
"These two bastards beat me up for no reason, ouch!"
It seemed he spoke too hastily and triggered his pain, letting out another cry.
Yang Yan and Wang Xue simply responded with a cold smile, not saying a word.
This reaction led the man to believe they were frightened.
Despite the throbbing pain in his groin, he couldn't be bothered with it, and kept jabbering nonstop.
He exaggerated the story of how he was inexplicably beaten up by the two "bastards."
As he spoke of his pain, he even squeezed out a few tears.
This Oscar-worthy performance could almost move an uninformed person to tears.
Zhang looked at the man who was acting like a woman and said impatiently:
"Alright, alright! Stop crying! It's not like you're broken! I understand your situation. Now, do you two have anything to say?"
Officer Zhang turned to Yang Yan and Wang Xue and asked.
"Nothing much to say, we did hit him, but it's not as exaggerated as he says. Besides, he's asking for it, and nothing less than a beating would satisfy public indignation. Officer, I'll cooperate with the investigation, admit my mistake, and I'm willing to compensate."
Yang Yan said sincerely.
"Compensate? Do I look like someone who lacks money? Damn it, this isn't over! Unless you let me sleep with your woman for a few nights, otherwise I'll make you pay."
The man with the gold chain got even more excited upon hearing Yang Yan's proposal for a private settlement, shouting loudly.
"See! Officer Zhang, he's asking for another beating. Ah! Some people are just born scum who can't understand human language!"
After speaking, Yang Yan raised his hand and landed a slap on the man's face.
Slap!
Two of the man's teeth were knocked out by the slap, falling onto the ground with mixed blood, a truly shocking sight.
"Stop it! This is a police station! If you hit him again, I'll cuff you!"
Officer Zhang said sternly.
At this point, the man was finally coming to his senses and kept saying:
"Bite down, hurry bite down! Ouch! My teeth are gone, it hurts, it hurts! I'm gonna kill you little bastard! Just you wait! Wait! Ouch, ouch..."
Officer Zhang glanced at the man whose face was swollen and whose speech was slurred, and said with a frown:
"How do you want to resolve this? The other side is willing to compensate you."
"Compensate? Do I look like I need money? Now, I want to sleep with this woman for a week, otherwise, this isn't over, not over! Wooo!"
Officer Zhang also got angry and said coldly:
"I'll say it again, this is a police station, watch your words. Also, make reasonable requests; don't make threats like that. If you need a medical examination, we can arrange it. If you make that kind of unreasonable request again, we'll consider you have none."
"What kind of a cop are you? Get your director here! Otherwise, you better quit."
The man with the gold chain got more and more agitated, and his speech worsened.
"Forget it, let's go! I'll take you for some medical treatment first. Otherwise, you won't even be able to speak clearly. The rest of you, wait here for me, don't wander around, and definitely don't try to escape."
After saying this, Officer Zhang signaled to a colleague and took the still cursing man to the medical room.
It wasn't long before Officer Zhang returned.
"This isn't a criminal matter, at most it's a violation. If you guys apologize and compensate a bit, it could end here. Otherwise, dragging it out won't do you any good."
Officer Zhang advised upon entering.
"Alright, we accept the mediation. Thank you, Officer Zhang."
Wang Xue, fearing Yang Yan might cause trouble again, quickly said.
"Li, it's them who beat me."
The man with the gold chain brought along an older man with three four-pointed stars on his shoulder epaulet, suddenly appearing in front of Yang Yan and the others.
Officer Zhang immediately stood up, saluted, and said:
"Hello, Vice Director Li, may I ask what instructions you have?"
"Zhang, this is none of your business now, go attend to other matters! Wang, come over here, take these two into the interrogation room."
Vice Director Li gave Yang Yan and Wang Xue a cursory glance and lightly instructed.
"Vice Director Li, this isn't by the book!" Officer Zhang said with a troubled expression.
"By the book? Here, I am the book! Wang, what are you standing there for? Take these two robbers inside!"
Vice Director Li said harshly.
The officer called Wang came over immediately, forcefully taking Yang Yan and Wang Xue away, leaving the arrogant man with the gold chain and the silent woman in the cheongsam.
Officer Zhang gritted his teeth and immediately turned around, walking quickly towards the chief's office.
Vice Director Li watched Officer Zhang's back and said with a sneer:
"No sense of discretion! Sooner or later he'll lose his job."
Wang handcuffed Yang Yan to the interrogation room table, then did the same to Wang Xue on the other side, and slammed the table hard, speaking harshly:
"Confess to your robbery process honestly. Otherwise, you'll suffer later."
"Robbery? How did we become robbers? Officer, we didn't rob anyone! Did you make a mistake?"
Wang Xue said anxiously.
After all, facing a police officer and now being handcuffed, a girl would understandably be a bit on edge.
At this moment, the man with the gold chain swaggered in and said to Officer Wang:
"Thank you for your hard work, Officer. Go have a cup of tea, I'll keep an eye on things here."
With that, he slipped a package into Officer Wang's pocket.
Officer Wang glanced at the man and said in a low voice:
"Don't go too far, or it'll be troublesome later."
Having said that, he gave Wang Xue a meaningful look and turned to leave.
