9 Invincible (2/2)
Xiao Luo's machete stopped in an instant. It hung in the air atop the bald man's head like the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Looking at the bloodthirsty machete, the bald man turned, deathly pale, eyes wide open. A rank and pungent odor rose from his crotch: He had lost control of his bladder and bowels and fainted immediately after. He had totally passed out from fear.
Xiao Luo turned his head and saw that both sides of the streets were blocked by five or six police cars. Two explosion-proof cars tore through the blockade line. There were more than 20 riot police in identical outfits and equipment holding up their shields. They looked intimidating as they struck their poses. There were also ordinary criminal police holding uploaded firearms with muzzles aimed at him.
”You have five seconds to drop the knife!”
A policewoman lowered her gun pointed toward the sky and picked up a loudspeaker from a police officer next to her. She shouted at Xiao Luo's expressionlessly as she counted down, ”Five, four, three .....”
She had fresh, clean, and beautiful features and a tall, athletic, and spirited figure. Her short hair was sleek and coiled behind her ears. Her bright and elegant eyes were pure as water, and her black police uniform could not hide her svelte and glamorous figure.
Xiao Luo remembered that this policewoman was the woman whom he had the providence to meet at the police station earlier in the day.
Although his strength had increased, he did not consider meeting the police head-on. When she counted down to two, he threw the machete on the ground.
Two special police officers rushed up. One placed himself on Xiao Luo's left and the other on his left as they restrained him.
Looking at the ground full of people who were hurt and groaning in agony, Gu Qianlin's black brows knitted in a scowl. She said with loathing, ”Gathering a group of men together on the streets and using knives to hurt others; you're disregarding the nation's laws and the safety of the people. You've caused a terrible impact on society. What a bunch of bastards, bring them all in!!! ”
”Yes,” a cadre of police officers responded.
Xiao Luo didn't want to explain anything now, because he knew it wouldn't do any good. The police would not listen. His answers would only have meaning after they brought him back into the bureau for questioning.
The middle-aged man dressed in a western suit and leather shoes only stood up after Xiao Luo, and the bald man's group were taken away by the police.
”Find out that young man's information. Also, get him a public defender. This young man is mine.”
”Yes, boss!” Leng You answered respectfully.
The next day, in the police interrogation room.....
”Name?”
”Xiao Luo.”
”Age?”
”Twenty-six.”
”Why did you use a knife and hurt someone in public?”
”It was a legitimate case of self-defense!”
Xiao Luo, wearing handcuffs, sat in the interrogation chair. He answered every question Gu Qianlin asked.
”Legitimate self-defense?”
Gu Qianlin snorted and threw the report from the hospital on the table. ”Twenty minor injuries and eight serious injuries. All of them are now lying in the hospital's acute ward. You're telling me this is legitimate self-defense?”
”Officer, there is the police Skynet surveillance system on that street. Go into the system and look for yourself. You'll see if what I said is true,” Xiao Luo said calmly.
”I don't need you to teach me how to handle the case, but I can tell you very regretfully that there are no surveillance cameras at the place where you wielded the knife to hurt others.” Gu Qianlin propped herself with both hands on the interrogation table and stared at Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo raised a brow, ”There are no surveillance cameras, but surely there are eyewitnesses. The stall owner can prove I was forced to defend myself.”
