Chapter 375 - Ten Minutes (1/2)

“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.
