C36 (1/2)
Tang Tianbao was woken up by the sound of the door opening. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, forgetting that he was in the boardroom.
A bright light shone through the crack in the door, lighting up the storage room.
”Who is it?” Tang Tianbao covered his eyes with his hands as he asked with his eyes half-closed.
”Come out!” The policeman kicked Tang Tianbao's stomach and sternly said, ”Come, let's go to the interrogation room!”
Tang Tianbao looked at his surroundings and realized that he was still in the storage room. He couldn't bear it. He tried to remember how he had come in, but the police quickly escorted him out of the room.
Tang Tianbao was escorted by the police to the interrogation room. The room wasn't big and only contained a table and a chair. ”Tang Tianbao was sitting in a chair with a huge spotlight above his head, making him feel uncomfortable.
”Tell me honestly!” the policeman behind the table snapped.
”What?” Tang Tianbao asked.
”The facts of your crime.” the policeman with the pen reminded him.
”I did not commit any crimes, so how can you be so indiscriminate? Why don't you guys ask them to clarify before you arrest them? ” Tang Tianbao also became anxious. When he thought of that humid night last night, his heart was blocked. At the same time, he also thought of that dream — that dream that made him feel proud and let out his resentment.
”You better behave!” The police suddenly stood up and held the electric baton in his hand as he gestured at Tang Tianbao. The electric baton emitted sparks that sent chills down one's spine.
Tang Tianbao was scared stiff. This was a real thing to do and was not a joke. Being hit by that guy's electrical discharge would definitely be hard to bear. Tang Tianbao's entire body was covered in cold sweat as it trembled.
”Tell the truth.” The policeman threatened.
”Oh …” ”En!” Tang Tianbao replied as his body was still trembling, ”That night, I worked overtime. I returned very late.” He couldn't get a taxi in a while, so he decided to walk back. Halfway there, he met the drunk woman. She wouldn't let me take her home, so I went off on my own. When I left, I suddenly heard that girl cry for help. I turned around and saw four men were stripping her of her clothes, so I went up to stop them. Who knew that I would be outnumbered? They ran. ”Comrade Police, this is the situation …” Tang Tianbao didn't say that he was secretly following a beauty. After all, this wasn't a glorious matter.
The police officer in charge of recording the confessions was half-believing and half-doubting as he looked up at Tang Tianbao as he wrote. Tang Tianbao was still a bit nervous because he was really afraid of that electric baton.
”If you make up a lie, you will bear the consequences.” The police reminded Tang Tianbao.
”I know, I'm not making it up. It's true.” Tang Tianbao's face was full of seriousness.
”Then what are you nervous about?” the cop with the baton asked.
”I'm not nervous.” Tang Tianbao replied.
”You're not nervous, what are you doing with your legs?” the policeman asked.
”F * ck, why do you care so much?” Tang Tianbao cursed in his heart, but politely said, ”I'm used to having hyperactivity.”
”Don't move, behave for me. You look like a regular. ” The policeman with the electric baton stood up from the table and slapped the table. ”Tell me the truth!”
”Everything I say is true! ”Police!” Tang Tianbao complained incessantly.
”One more word?” The police officer left his table and walked towards Tang Tianbao, the electric baton in his hands crackling.
”No, police. ”Let me explain.” The reason why he was so afraid of the electric baton was because when he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, he had once hit the electric baton. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the rope. Tang Tianbao originally thought that in Chaozhou, no one would know about his past scandals. He never thought that his performance today would expose so many problems that even the police began to suspect that he was lying. He was truly too afraid of that electric baton.
”Speak.” The recording policeman suddenly felt cheated and scolded sternly.
”I... I was secretly following that... ”That beauty …” Tang Tian Bao was trembling with fear as he described, ”I had that evil thought for a moment, but... But soon, it was gone. Really, the police are telling the truth. ”
The two policemen were listening intently, when they suddenly felt like they had been cheated. The recording officer slapped his pen hard on the table and shouted, ”Are you tired of living?”
At this moment, the police officer holding the electric baton came over and ruthlessly rubbed Tang Tianbao's shoulder. He felt as if his whole body had been struck by an electric shock. He felt numb for a moment, and then he fainted.
Although Tang Tianbao fainted, the police still refused to let him go. Too many prisoners had fainted under the electric baton, and that was no surprise to the police.
The cop with the baton said to the cop who was taking notes, ”Wait a minute.” With that, he placed the electric baton on the table and left the interrogation room.
Not long after, he walked in with a basin of cold water.
”This won't do, right? He had only the motive for the crime, but he did not commit it. ” the policeman who made the record said hesitantly.
”How can you be merciful to a prisoner?” He rebutted with a question as he took the opportunity to pour a basin of water on Tang Tianbao's head.
Cold water from the bone spurs poured down from Tang Tianbao's head, flowing through his collar and into his entire body …
Tang Tianbao's entire body shivered as he woke up with a cold shiver.
