"What a bunch of brainless idiots. Don't tell me you're just doing a routine check and going through the motions. There are plenty of people who have a grudge against Zhang Jin. If you're really bored, here's a suggestion: check her financial dealings. Stop harping on this love triangle all the time. I'm not so down on my luck that I have to fight with a young girl for a man."
Zhou Siyu unleashed a torrent of abuse, leaving the two in a terrible mood. He was already in a bad mood, and these idiots only made it worse.
Forget about swearing, even if a dog walks past him, he'll be picked up and yelled at.
"If you really don't have the ability, then apply to set up a special task force and have someone from above come to investigate. Don't waste resources."
"Who do you think you are!" The policeman called Old Zhao slammed his fist on the table, his veins bulging, and grabbed Zhou Siyu by the collar. "Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!"
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao..."
Ning An stepped forward and symbolically took Old Zhao's hand; he had been wanting to beat up Zhou Siyu for a long time...
“What am I?” Zhou Siyu pried open Old Zhao’s fingers one by one: “The taxes I pay every quarter are enough to buy your planet. The salary you rely on for daily living is paid by me.”
"Who do I am? I'm your bread and butter. Even Director Lin has to respectfully call me General Manager Zhou. Who the hell dares to challenge me!"
"Fuck your grandpa!"
Enraged, Old Zhao punched Zhou Siyu in the face. Ning An's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly went to turn off the camera. Little did he know that these images were all uploaded in real time and could not be deleted at all.
"Severe torture and forced confessions—is this how Captain Ning trains his officers? This is truly an eye-opener for me."
A clear, cold voice rang out, and Zhou Siyu turned her face away with difficulty, revealing a beautiful face.
The woman wore a police uniform, a shirt paired with a skirt, her short hair neatly styled, her face delicate and oval, her nose high and straight like a mountain peak, her round eyes brimming with icy light, and her thin lips healthy and rosy.
"Lin Qing, captain of the 17th Criminal Investigation Division of the Interstellar Police Bureau, and head of the 9.17 Special Task Force." Yu Qing took out the documents and handed them to Ning An. "Captain Ning, please transfer all the materials to my office."
"Am I also a member of the task force?"
"Do you have any questions?"
"No." Ning An put his legs together and saluted. "I will obey orders from my superiors."
After treating Zhou Siyu's injuries, Lin Qing took out her computer and placed it on the table, gesturing for Ning An to take notes. Ning An reluctantly sat down.
"Zhou Siyu, you are a witness in the September 17 case. We are now questioning you in accordance with the law. Please read the notice of rights and obligations on your table carefully. If you cannot read, the staff can read it to you."
"Learning to read."
"Do you clearly understand your rights and obligations?"
"I am fully aware of it."
"Where were you and what were you doing between 8 PM and 11 PM on September 20th?"
"Let me think about it." Zhou Siyu thought for a moment and said, "We should hold the meeting online in the hotel room."
When did it end?
"It starts at 9 p.m. and ends at 11:30 p.m. I have a record of it on my computer."
Why choose after get off work hours?
"Because Planet Seventeen is special, time passes more slowly there; it's one o'clock in the afternoon there."
"Was the meeting planned in advance?"
"Yes, it's mainly about the progress reports of some projects over there."
"You haven't left the hotel at all?"
"No, dinner was delivered to my room by the hotel staff. After the meeting, I did some work and then rested."
Where is your partner?
"At the police station."
"Okay, we understand the situation. You can go now."
Lin Qing stood up, but Zhou Siyu called her back.
"May I ask what happened?"
“Zhang Qing is dead.” Lin Qing looked at Zhou Siyu, trying to find a clue in his expression. “You should be the last person he had contact with before he died.”
"Really?" Zhou Siyu sighed. "What a pity."
"You two have a good relationship?"
“No.” Zhou Siyu shook her head. “He helped me fix my car a few times. In my memory, he was a sunny, optimistic, kind, and righteous person.”
"But he just hit you yesterday."
“I can understand. After all, everyone is saying that I am the murderer. Zhang Qing loves his sister very much and once regarded her as his hope for survival.”
"I understand, thank you for your cooperation."
"You're welcome."
Zhou Siyu nodded, slipped on her slippers, and slowly walked out of the small room.
"By the way, Officer Lin, may I ask when my partner can leave?" Zhou Siyu turned around. "I heard he's a prime suspect."
"We will make a decision after we have investigated the matter thoroughly."
“Okay.” Zhou Siyu nodded. “I’ve arranged a lawyer for him. He can contact me if he needs one.”
"I will pass on the message."
"Thanks."
Zhou Siyu put one hand in his pocket, shuffled away in his slippers.
