Chapter 375: Ten Minutes
“Name?”
“Age?”
“Birthplace?”
“Why did you harm those people?”
Xiao Luo was sitting with his hands in cuffs inside the interrogation room of the police station. Two policemen with very cold expressions on their faces were seated opposite him and questioning him thoroughly, They were very experienced, and the way they conducted the interrogation seemed routine to them and as natural as breathing. They quizzed him about his personal details and his version of what transpired in the kendo gym.
Xiao Luo duly provided the answers to his background, but when they asked why he had assaulted the three victims, his response was simple—these people clearly deserved it!
BAM!
One of the policemen, a horse-faced officer, slammed the table angrily and shouted, “Xiao Luo, let me remind you that this is the police station, and I’d advise you to leave your arrogant attitude at the door! If you think you can come in here and clash head-on with us, you’ll have something else coming your way! Tell us everything we need to know, the more detailed, the better. If you refuse to comply again, you will be found guilty. I promise you’ll regret it!”
Xiao Luo smiled and said, “I have served as a cop for some time, so don’t fool me with these tricks. It is the court which has the power to make the conviction, not you people.”
With that response, the policemen looked at each other, realizing that they might be dealing with a wily old fox. However, the information they retrieved from the database on this man showed that he was clean, and they found no previous criminal records. Even so, with his implication in the multiple assault case, how could he be dealing with them so calmly?
“You guys can stop trying. In ten minutes, at the most, you will receive orders from your superior to release me,” Xiao Luo added.
“Boy, are you completely nuts? You have broken a man’s leg and chopped off a woman’s arm, your actions were abominable and cruel. And you think you can just walk out of here? Keep your dreams to yourself!”
The horse-faced officer snapped and then banged on the table again. He was getting impatient and snarled, “you better cut your crap and stop dragging your feet, I have seen a lot of your kind. If you cooperate with us, maybe you can get a more lenient sentence in court, but if you don’t, you might just find yourself in jail for at least three years.”
Xiao Luo remained silent as he did not see the point in arguing with these police officers.
Seeing him being so fearless, the horse-faced officer blinked and said to the other policeman, “turn the video camera off.”
The other policeman was stunned as he quickly realized the intentions of the horse-faced officer. During interrogation, it was common to encounter criminals who were hard-nosed and uncooperative. To get the job done, sometimes extreme measures were called for. The officer got up and turned the video camera off, and so, anything that occurred next in the interrogation room would not be recorded.
The horse-faced officer took out an aluminum bat from the drawer and twirled it in his hand in a threatening way. “Boy, this will be the last time that I am asking this question, why did you harm them?” he said.
Xiao Luo looked at this horse-faced officer cockily and chuckled, as such strong-arm tactics were precisely what he had employed during his tenure as a police officer in Jiangcheng. Obviously, he was very aware of what the horse-faced officer’s intentions were, so he said, “As I told you before, your superior will be asking you guys to release me in less than ten minutes, it’ll be best for both parties if we just wait it out for a little while more.”
“Hah, you’re really asking for it!”
The horse-faced officer lost his patience and held a thick book against Xiao Luo’s chest, then slammed it hard with the bat.
If an ordinary person were to take such a hit, it would shock his internal organs without leaving any traces, perhaps reducing his lifespan by half.
Xiao Luo’s hands were cuffed and body secured to the chair, but when the blow landed, he kicked out in reflex and popped the horse-faced officer on his knee. It was not a hard kick, but it was still hard enough to bring this man down, making it evident that he did not train regularly.
“Umpfh… how dare you?!”
The horse-faced officer picked himself up, but when he lifted his head, he saw Xiao Luo delivering another kick again, and, terrified, he groaned even before it landed.
Xiao Luo was not someone who could be easily threatened, and this time, the kick landed on his forehead; it hit so hard that he dropped back on the floor immediately and passed out momentarily.
“Ma Lu!”
The other policeman rushed up and kneeled down to check on the horse-faced officer, who began to stir back to consciousness.
“Y-you… s-son of a b*tch, you dare to kick me!”
Ma Lu regained his composure and stood up with his colleague’s help, clenching his teeth as he stared at Xiao Luo furiously.
“This guy’s a bit scary, maybe we should seek advice from our superior?” the other policeman said.
“For f*ck’s sake, what’s there to worry? Just based on what he’s done, he’s going to be behind bars!”
Ma Lu had always dealt with the criminals this way, but for the very first time today, he had been embarrassed by this particular one, and it irked him. He laughed mirthlessly as he went behind Xiao Luo and put his head close to Xiao Luo’s ear. “I have said it before, when you are here, learn to abide by our rules. Since you don’t know the rules, I will personally teach them to you now,” he hissed.
“I suggest you not to do this, even though you are a policeman, you have no rights to mete out personal punishment!”
Xiao Luo was only reminding out of kindness as he would rather wait for the NSA to negotiate a peaceful settlement, but it seemed like the horse-faced officer had different ideas.
“Really, I don’t? Haha, haha…”
Ma Lu laughed again. He was so enraged that he wanted his revenge and said, “Your hair looks nice and healthy, but I am not sure if it’s strong enough.”
Ma Lu suddenly grabbed Xiao Luo’s tightly and pulled it back forcefully.
When he did that to the other criminals, their heads would be forced back, putting severe pressure on their necks, and their scalps would feel like being ripped off. But, Xiao Luo appeared unaffected, still sitting up straight, and his head barely moved an inch.
“I’m telling you again… let go!” Xiao Luo said.
The temperature in the interrogation room suddenly dipped, and the two police officers began to shiver uncontrollably.
Ma Lu was stunned, but with his dignity challenged so blatantly, he was still seething as he scowled, “Son of a b*tch, looks like you won’t shed a tear until you see your own coffin!”
He then pulled back Xiao Luo’s hair back, even harder this time.
“I am warning you to let go!”
Xiao Luo was now provoked, and, in a rage, he broke the steel handcuff right in front of the police officers. The interrogation chair broke asunder as Xiao Luo released a wave of inner power and instantly stood up like a ferocious tiger. The other policeman standing right in front of him, trembled and looked horrified.
BANG!
Ma Lu was thrown against the wall, and he felt like he was hit by a moving train. He groaned painfully as blood gushed out from his mouth and nose, then fainted where he fell.
The other policeman broke into a cold sweat. When he saw Xiao Luo glancing at him, he unconsciously tried to grab the pistol on his waist belt out of fear. But he was off duty and did not have his gun with him. In a panic, he immediately picked up the bat from the floor and held it shakily in front of him, almost in tears as he faced Xiao Luo.
“Do you want to land up like him as well?” Xiao Luo said, glaring disdainfully at the policeman as he reigned in his inner power.
CLANG~
The other policeman immediately dropped the bat, shaking his head in total fear, for in front of him, he saw a monster who had broken the steel handcuffs and the interrogation chair in no time at all, and without any visible strain.
“Pour me a cup of water.”
Xiao Luo reversed the positions of guest and host, taking the seat on the officer’s side of the interrogation table.
“Y-yes…”
The police went to a corner immediately to pour Xiao Luo a cup of water.
“I want warm water.”
As he planned to wait, he thought it would be better to drink warm water.
The policeman fetched the cup of warm water, and respectfully presented it to Xiao Luo.
