Chapter 50: He Really Didn’t Lie
Zhang Yi wanted to say something else but Lin Bai didn’t give him a chance. He directly looked at the police officer beside him and asked.
“Sir, are you looking for me to assist in the investigation, or are you here to arrest me?”
The police officer replied, “Of course, I’m here to assist in the investigation. Lin Bai, please come with us to the police station.”
All the accusations were just one-sided ones made by Shen Wanqing. There was no concrete evidence, so how could they casually arrest him?
Lin Bai said to the instructor, Zhang Yi, “Did you hear that? The police officer said that he only wants me to assist in the investigation.”
“They didn’t treat me as a criminal. It’s a little too early for you to target me.”
The instructor, Zhang Yi, snorted coldly. “As stubborn as a mule. It looks like you’ll be crying in the future!”
Lin Bai couldn’t be bothered to bicker with him.
Facing such a person who couldn’t differentiate between right and wrong before directly determining that he was unpardonable, no matter how much he said, it would be a waste of saliva.
Instead of wasting time with him, it was better to quickly explain the matter to the police.
After ending this mess, he would be able to free up more time and energy to deal with the following lawsuit.
Shen Wanqing had deliberately sued and called the police to drag down his energy so that he would not be able to deal with it properly.
If there were any mistakes in the process, he might just be unreasonable.
How could Lin Bai let Shen Wanqing have his way?
The more the other party tried to find trouble with him for all sorts of reasons, the more he had to remain calm and respond to every move.
Lin Bai did not even look at the instructor, Zhang Yi. He said to the police officers in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “Sir, since you need my help in the investigation, let’s go now.”
When they walked out of the instructor’s office, the corridor was already crowded with students who were watching the scene.
When they saw Lin Bai walking out with the police officers, they were all whispering and pointing. Their gazes towards Lin Bai were filled with disdain.
Lin Bai didn’t need to think to know that the school would soon spread the news that he had been arrested by the police.
Then there would be all kinds of gossip, speculating what crime he had committed.
He decided to let them say whatever they wanted. Lin Bai didn’t care at all.
He only hoped that these rumors wouldn’t reach his parents’ ears.
Along the way, Lin Bai was considering whether he should directly tell his parents everything before the rumors spread.
However, after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Bai felt that it was better not to tell them for the time being.
Things were not that bad yet. He could wait for a while.
When they arrived at the police station, Lin Bai was very cooperative. He told them everything that happened that day in detail.
He also emphasized the threat that Shen Wanqing posed to him.
“What happened was basically what I said just now
“I admit that I did hit him but if I didn’t do so in that situation, I wouldn’t even be able to guarantee my own safety.”
“I only did it to protect myself. This should be considered self-defense, right?”
The police officer in charge of taking notes did not answer Lin Bai. Instead, he repeated the question that he had asked before.
“There are thirteen bodyguards under Shen Wanqing. including him, there are fourteen of them. Were they all injured by you?”
Lin Bai nodded and admitted frankly, “Yes, they were all injured by me.”
After thinking for a moment, Lin Bai added, “If necessary, I can pay for their medical fees and the cost of delaying work.”
“But the premise is that they must have an explanation for threatening and restricting my personal freedom.”
If Shen Wanqing insisted on holding him responsible for hitting someone, then Lin Bai would also pursue the matter to the end to see who was the one at a disadvantage in the end.
At most, he would lose some money, but Shen Wanqing’s group’s actions had already broken the law. They might even go to jail.
‘I’m not afraid of him!’
The police still did not respond. Instead, they continued to ask about the details of the fight.
“How did you manage to injure so many of them and not get hurt at all? Tell me in detail what happened back then.”
Lin Bai could only cooperate and recount the situation according to his memory.
After he finished, the police officer pressed on with many details and repeatedly questioned him in an attempt to find flaws.
However, what Lin Bai said was the truth. There was no element of lying or fabricating.
Naturally, he was not afraid of any interrogation techniques.
After a few rounds of questioning, the police officer in charge of taking notes finally believed that Lin Bai had indeed beaten up more than a dozen of Shen Wanqing’s men.
Everyone in S City knew what kind of people Shen Wanqing’s so-called bodyguards were.
Therefore, when he called the police and accused Lin Bai of hitting someone, the police knew in their hearts that the truth was definitely not what he said.
However, it was their duty. Since Shen Wanqing had called the police, they had to call Lin Bai over to ask him about it.
“Alright, I have a clear understanding of the situation.”
“This is the transcript. Take a look and see if there are any discrepancies with what you said just now. If there are no discrepancies, sign your name at the end.”
The police pushed the transcript in front of Lin Bai and motioned for him to look through it carefully.
Lin Bai looked through it carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, he signed his name on the last page.
The police officer took the completed transcript and went out to report to the leader.
“Sir, Lin Bai admitted that he was the one who injured those people. I’ve repeatedly asked for the details. He shouldn’t be lying.”
The team leader obviously did not believe it.
“He could beat more than ten people by himself? Are you sure he didn’t receive some threats and had no choice but to admit it?”
The police officer who made the statement replied, “I don’t think so.”
The team leader said angrily, “What do you mean by that? !”
“If he was a retired special forces soldier, I might be able to barely believe that he could beat more than a dozen knife-wielding enemies by himself.”
“But he’s just an ordinary college student. He could beat fourteen people without a scratch, and the other party even has a knife. Do you think that’s possible?”
The police officer who made the statement was speechless.
If it were any other time, he would definitely not believe it.
But after such a long interrogation, he was completely convinced by Lin Bai’s confidence and calmness.
Moreover, he had used all the interrogation techniques that he had learned, but he still could not find any flaws.
So he believed that what Lin Bai said was true.
Unfortunately, it was useless for him to believe it. The team leader did not believe it.
“I’ll ask him myself!”
The team leader threw the transcript aside and walked to the interrogation room aggressively.
In the end, he asked for nearly two hours in a row, repeatedly asking for all kinds of details, and used all the interrogation techniques that could be used.
Still, he could not find any flaws.
This also meant that if Lin Bai had not received professional anti-reconnaissance training, and his psychological quality was far better than ordinary people, then he really did not lie.
The team leader looked at his rewritten statement, lost in thought.
