Chapter 189 I'm sorry for wronging you

After Shen Linglan woke up from a nap, she ordered a takeout.

But unexpectedly, the person who rang the doorbell was not the delivery man, but the police.

"Shen Linglan? Please come with us to the police station."

The leading policeman finished speaking to Shen Linglan and showed the police badge in his hand. He put his hand down and stepped aside, signaling the policeman behind him to come up and take Shen Linglan into the police car.

But the person behind him was not a policeman, but a delivery man.

A delivery man in a blue work uniform squeezed in, totally ignoring the fact that the person in front of him was a policeman. After pushing the policeman away, he said, "Make way, make way, the other orders are about to expire."

After saying that, he stuffed the takeaway bag in his hand to Shen Linglan, "Ms. Shen, right? Is this the takeaway you ordered?"

"Yes, thank you."

After Shen Linglan received the takeaway, she said to the police, "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten yet. Can you wait until I finish my meal?"

The meal has arrived, and Shen Linglan has not committed any crime. She just said something that might cause the public to misunderstand her. In the end, she didn't make any big mistakes.

"OK."

After getting the approval from the police, Shen Linglan ate her lunch without a care in the world and without paying any attention to the people around her.

Seeing that the policemen were sitting there bored, Shen Linglan not only turned on the TV for them, but also gave each of them a bottle of drink to quench their thirst.

Shen Linglan hadn't eaten malatang for a while, and today she just felt like having it.

After ordering a takeaway to satisfy his craving, he washed his hands before standing up and saying to the police, "I'm fine, let's go, officers."

She was so calm that she seemed to have known that the police would come, and she was not worried about going to the police station. Instead, the male police officer who had just knocked on the door was confused. He had prepared a set of words before he came, and was even prepared to use both soft and hard tactics to take Shen Linglan away.

I didn't expect Shen Linglan to be so cooperative.

After getting in the police car, Shen Linglan called Chen Mengxue and told her that she would be staying in the detention center for a few days and asked her to take care of the company's affairs.

Chen Mengxue on the other end of the phone knew what Shen Linglan meant, and agreed immediately without asking any further questions.

The female police officer in the passenger seat was the one who had interrogated Shen Linglan last time.

Shen Linglan was very cooperative from beginning to end. Even the phone call just now was about company matters. There was no instruction to protect herself such as "call someone to rescue me" or "call a lawyer", nor any passionate remarks.

She saw Shen Linglan in the rearview mirror, pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, looking calm, and asked her, "Aren't you afraid?"

Shen Linglan opened her eyes and met the policewoman's gaze. "He's acting uprightly, why should you be afraid? The ones who should be afraid are the ones who can't sleep these past few nights, right?"

She had a point, and the female police officer understood that she was talking about those who caused the tap water pollution.

The car suddenly became quiet.

Shen Linglan seemed calm, but in fact she was chatting with her best friend in her consciousness.

"I don't know what the food and sleep are like in the detention center. Are there mosquitoes, rats, ants, etc."

Zhao Yunduo said, "Yes, sister."

However, she still searched around in the room. "There are mosquito repellent stickers and insect repellent bracelets. I'm not afraid of these things, but the sleeping place may not be very good. Can I eat something secretly when the time comes?"

After saying that, Zhao Yunduo was still worried that there was not enough food in the space, or that Shen Linglan did not like the food in the space, and asked her how many days she would stay in the detention center.

"I'm going back to the base now. I think we'll be there in the evening. The cooking skills of Nan Feng at L base are on par with Aunt Liu. We'll have whatever you want to eat by then—"

"Don't," Shen Linglan stopped her, "I estimate that I can only stay for two days at most. After two days, their director will have to ask me to leave himself. I won't suffer at all."

Zhao Yunduo's task of purifying aquatic plants and animals has been completed by 80%, and the task will be successfully completed in a few days. Hearing Shen Linglan say this, he could only suppress his worries, continue to pay attention to everything about Shen Linglan, and speed up the execution of the task.

After Shen Linglan was taken back to the police station, she was questioned as usual.

The female police officer in the car asked Shen Linglan why she said such things to the reporters, causing citizens to mistakenly believe that there was really "poison" in the tap water. That day, the reporters also went to the government agency to question the leaders.

"Your behavior not only caused trouble for the higher-ups, but also caused panic among the citizens. Miss Shen, although you were only trying to sell your company's products, your sales methods were too despicable. We need to punish you to some extent."

They avoided the main point and did not mention the issue of tap water pollution. Instead, they said that Shen Linglan's words were all for the purpose of selling test strips and reagents. Shen Linglan did not correct them in the police station, nor did she resist. Instead, she nodded to the police and said, "Okay."

Perhaps because Shen Linglan was too cooperative, the female police officer took her to a cleaner detention center, a single cell.

As a result, Shen Linglan was taken to the detention center at noon, and she was released before dark.

Shen Linglan originally thought that she would have to stay at least overnight, and she even put the laptop she was using to write her thesis into the space before coming. Before she even started to think about it, the chief of police came to the detention center to "invite her".

The chief was also a woman. She saluted Shen Linglan and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Shen Linglan, we detained you this time because our police station issued a wrong order, and you have been wronged."

The regret and remorse on her face were not fake. She was more afraid than anyone else that Shen Linglan would stay in the detention center and would not be able to leave, so her attitude was very humble. After all, public opinion on the Internet was about to overwhelm the police station.

Shen Linglan was politely invited to the lounge, and someone made her a cup of very fragrant black tea.

There was a glass wall in the police station lounge. A group of reporters outside almost squeezed the glass to pieces. They all stuck to the glass and looked at Shen Linglan, wishing they could get through the wall and interview her.

Shen Linglan glanced at the situation outside the glass, then turned to the police chief and said, "Since the police admit that it was a wrongful detention, please announce the person who issued the order and give him a certain punishment, otherwise I will not let it go."

"Okay, okay."

After getting the director's promise, Shen Linglan put forward a second condition, "I want you to withdraw your surveillance and detention of Lu Shaohua."

The director seemed to have not expected that Shen Linglan and Lu Shaohua were friends, but she nodded in agreement.

The chief asked the female police officer to escort Shen Linglan out, and the two of them bypassed the reporters at the door and took a shortcut out.

Before Shen Linglan left, the female police officer suddenly said, "Ms. Shen, I'm afraid you'll have troubles in the near future. If you have any problems that you can't solve, feel free to call me."

After saying that, he handed Shen Linglan a business card.

Shen Linglan nodded and glanced at the policewoman's name, Zheng Yi.
