Chapter 35 Taking a Statement
Chapter 35 Taking a Statement
The open space in front of the abandoned building.
Two police cars silently rolled in.
Without sirens blaring, red and blue flashing lights alternated on and off in the night.
The passenger door of the lead car opened first.
A middle-aged man in casual clothes stepped off the bus.
Dark jacket, buzz cut
He leaned against the car door, looking towards the abandoned building.
"Team Leader Chen."
Two young security guards got out of the car behind.
He drew the gun from his waist, holding it in his hand against the outside of his thigh.
He cautiously surveyed the broken walls and dark windows on both sides.
Captain Chen lightly pressed his right hand on the gun handle, while making a hand gesture with his left hand.
The four team members immediately dispersed.
The two hugged the wall and walked around to the side door.
The remaining two followed behind him in a triangular formation, advancing towards the main entrance.
at this time,
A figure suddenly appeared on the steps of the main entrance.
Bai Sheng staggered out from beside the door frame.
I took two steps on the steps.
Using the red and blue flashing lights,
You could clearly see the shock on his face.
The voice also carried a sense of relief at surviving a disaster:
"Are you the sheriffs? You've finally arrived!"
Captain Chen immediately realized that the victim had come out.
Without hesitation,
Remove your hand from the gun handle.
He quickly stepped up the stairs and grabbed Bai Sheng's shoulder.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
He quickly glanced at Bai Sheng from head to toe.
There appeared to be no blood on the clothes, the person was able to stand on their own, and their mental state seemed normal.
"Are you the one who called the police? Where are you injured?"
Captain Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just passing by... I came in to use the restroom, and then... I passed out."
Bai Sheng's eyes were vacant, and he muttered to himself.
After a few words, I couldn't make any sense of logic.
"Sigh~"
Bai Sheng simply didn't say a word.
He sat down on the steps.
It felt like my legs were so weak I couldn't stand up anymore.
Team Leader Chen turned around and gestured to the team members behind him:
"Xiao Li, give him a check-up."
Before he could finish speaking, a female security guard rushed over.
Team Leader Chen pulled out his pistol.
He slipped into the lobby on the first floor.
The security guard behind him turned on his flashlight.
A powerful beam of light shone into the dark hall.
A bright, clear cross-section was cut out.
It landed on the two bodies lying on the ground.
Team Leader Chen peeked out from his hiding place.
Both of them were breathing slowly, but neither seemed to be conscious.
They all share common characteristics.
There were several faint finger marks on both sides of his throat.
"Captain Chen, this..."
The young security guard, holding a flashlight, opened his mouth.
He turned to look at Bai Sheng, who was being examined for his injuries on the steps.
"He's the one who solved this?"
Captain Chen bent down and picked up the Glock rifle with its magazine removed from the ground.
I turned it over and looked at the gun serial number.
They then examined the fingerprints on both sides of the wide-faced man's throat.
"Go inside."
Walking deeper into the hall,
I lifted a corner of the plastic sheet and took a peek.
An obese male corpse,
Then put it down.
……
"Young man, what's your name?"
"Bai Sheng."
Bai Sheng looked up at him.
He still pretended to be completely bewildered.
They didn't say anything useful either.
This was something he had already rehearsed in his mind.
We can't give them too many openings.
Team Leader Chen stared at him for a moment, then instructed the team members behind him:
"The entire building is sealed off, with police tape stretched from the front door to the back wall, and every room is being searched one by one!"
Inside the Public Security Bureau,
Bai Sheng sat on the hard bench for two hours.
He drank a few cups of hot water,
Several security guards took turns approaching Bai Sheng and chatting with him.
Of course,
In order to appease Bai Sheng,
They talked about things that had nothing to do with tonight's case.
People were coming and going in the corridor.
Criminal investigators and forensic experts are already busy at the abandoned building.
Bai Sheng was separated by the glass door.
You can see Captain Chen talking to several people at the end of the corridor.
At three o'clock in the morning, he was led into a small interrogation room to give a statement.
"Name?"
"Bai Sheng."
"ID number?"
Bai Sheng reported them one by one.
Watch as she takes notes line by line.
When asked about what happened,
Bai Sheng repeated his prepared remarks once again.
Speak slowly on purpose
He pauses for a couple of seconds now and then, as if he's reminiscing.
Logically, the entire narrative is...
There are no obvious flaws in general.
Anyway, the security cameras were broken, and there were no witnesses in the building.
Those two murderers probably didn't even know how they fainted.
The security guard taking notes wrote the last entry.
Finally, unable to contain herself any longer, she looked up and asked, "Have you practiced some kind of martial art?"
Bai Sheng shook his head: "No, but I'm pretty good at sports."
He didn't intend to offer any further explanation.
It's meaningless.
If an explanation is absolutely necessary...
That is, when a person faces a life-or-death crisis, adrenaline will stimulate the body's potential.
It is naturally difficult to predict what the outcome will be.
But if the other party doesn't ask, there's no need to answer.
Admittedly, these police officers didn't intend to ask too many questions.
The security guard must have touched me during the body check.
Bai Sheng's terrifyingly defined muscles...
A robust young man in his twenties,
They knocked out two criminals in their thirties.
This matter will likely become a topic of conversation within the police department for some time to come.
But I doubt anyone would have thought of that.
This person acquired powers beyond human comprehension.
The sheriff closed the notebook and didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, Captain Chen pushed the door open and came in.
He sat down opposite Bai Sheng.
He took out his phone and placed it on the table: "Bai Sheng, right? Save my contact information."
If you encounter any danger later, remember to call me.
If you can't get through, call Xiao Li.
Captain Chen pointed to the person who was taking a statement.
After saving the number, Bai Sheng handed the phone back:
"Captain Chen, I have a favor to ask. Could you please not report what happened tonight?"
Especially, I don't want the news media or reporters to know; I don't want them to affect my life.
Team Leader Chen nodded:
"Of course, this case is still unsolved, and we will ensure your safety."
Bai Sheng shook his head: "What I mean is, even after the case is solved, please don't reveal my information, okay?"
Team Leader Chen remained silent for a moment.
"Okay, I promise."
Bai Sheng got up and left.
As you walk to the door of the inquiry room,
He glanced back at Captain Chen, who was still sitting at the table.
The middle-aged man was looking down and rubbing his temples.
The continuous all-nighters and the handling of major cases caused his eyes to become bloodshot.
Bai Sheng didn't even notice what he was doing.
He stared intently at the sign floating above his head.
Grandmaster of Kendo
Bai Sheng withdrew his gaze and walked into the corridor.
The cold wind at dawn,
It was blowing in through the half-open window at the end of the corridor.
It felt cool when the wind blew on my face.
As he walked toward the main gate, lines of small black characters suddenly appeared before his eyes.
You met a master swordsman by chance and had a pleasant conversation. Although you did not fight, the restrained yet sharp sword intent emanating from him left an indelible impression on you.
You vaguely sensed a completely new realm of martial arts, entering the Dao through the sword and controlling Qi with the sword.
You have gained some insights into the practice of kendo.
