Chapter 187 Detention Room

The person who received Cui Jian was an ordinary plainclothes policeman, who was also an old acquaintance of Cui Jian. In addition, Shi Feng and Ai Li were also detained in this police station, so the plainclothes policeman was sure that this matter was not simple. The police station hoped that someone would quickly take Ai Li and Shi Feng away, but every time someone came to take them away, someone else would stop them.

The plainclothes officers conducted themselves impartially and asked Cui Jian questions. They said that the fishing boat would be detained for another week and they would notify him by phone when the time comes. Cui Jian could then go directly to the designated dock to collect it.

The two finished their work, chatted for a while and were about to finish recording the statement when they heard running and shouting outside. They opened the door and saw a team of fully armed police officers running by, knocking a uniformed clerk to the ground. The uniformed police officer was stunned. Then the four-story police station fell into greater chaos. After questioning, they learned that an important prisoner had escaped from the detention room.

Cui Jian wanted to know more, but was taken back to the recording room by a plainclothes officer who said that the recording had been damaged and needed to be re-recorded. He thought that the prisoner had escaped as soon as Cui Jian arrived, and that there might be a connection, so he could not let Cui Jian go until there was an order from above.

Cui Jian, who learned about the situation, was not sure whether Ai Li or Shi Feng would escape from prison. Shi Feng had the ability to escape from prison, but his connections and resources were exhausted. He could not run far without help, and if he ran far, no one would know where to go. Ai Li did not have Shi Feng's weakness, but Cui Jian did not know Ai Li's ability to escape from prison, and he did not know whether she had the ability.

Half an hour later, Cui Jian was escorted to the police station, and the plainclothes officer breathed a sigh of relief after watching him drive away. To this day, Cui Jian has not been able to find out from him which important prisoner escaped.

Unexpectedly, half an hour after returning to the villa, Cui Jian was handcuffed and taken back to the police station in a police car. He was directly sent to the interrogation room. Cui Jian was confused about this, and then he saw the surveillance camera in the police station parking lot.

He drove to the police station, parked his car, and went into the police station to report the incident. During this time, a masked man came out of the trunk of his car, opened a nearby white car, and got in. About ten minutes later, Shi Feng got into the white car and waited. When he found that Shi Feng had escaped and the police station was in commotion, the white car, like other vehicles, sounded the sirens and drove out of the police station parking lot together.

Oh my god! Cui Jian was shocked when he saw the video. He went to the supermarket and bought some fruits when he came to the police station. He didn't expect that a thief would sneak into his trunk during this time.

The important thing is why? Can't you drive yourself? If you can't drive, can't you walk? The police station parking lot is a public place, no one checks it, why do you have to get into your own trunk?
Watching the video, it is obvious that the bad guy had arranged this white car in advance, and he did not need to use his own trunk at all. Could it be that the bad guy hid in the trunk to absorb his own body odor? Who can be so obsessed with himself?
Cui Jian answered the plainclothes officer’s question for the Nth time: “I don’t know, I didn’t do it, it’s none of my business.”

The lawyer sent by Mo Da Law Firm was confused and asked to talk to Cui Jian in private. Cui Jian clearly answered the lawyer that he didn't know what was going on.

When interrogated again, Cui Jian suddenly had an idea. He asked to borrow a phone, turned on the speakerphone and called Duanmu, and went straight to the point: "Did you do it?"

Duanmu did not deny it: "It's a bit chaotic outside recently, you should stay inside for a few days."

Cui Jian: "Did you take the person away?"

Duanmu denied: "No. Goodbye." and hung up the phone.

Cui Jian understood that Duanmu didn't care about his safety, and that what he said about the chaos outside was nonsense. Duanmu considered that Shi Feng only had Cui Jian as his half friend, and that Yu Ming's investigators might come back to Cui Jian. So he cut off the fire and sent Cui Jian, the living devil, to the police station.

Does this mean that Duanmu took the person away? Cui Jian felt that his brain was not enough. Logically, it should be Duanmu who took Shi Feng away, but Cui Jian was not confident in this judgment. Cui Jian was not in a hurry at first, but the housekeeper had already said that Qi Sha was very interested in Shi Feng, and opened a passage to leave Hancheng, and also sent two Sha and one dog to support this operation at any time.

The traffic rules only say that you should walk around the car, why don’t they say that you should open the trunk to check?

Cui Jian strongly demanded to view the supermarket parking lot surveillance to prove his innocence.

The plainclothes officer told Cui Jian three things. The first thing: the supermarket parking lot surveillance camera showed snowflakes. The second thing: even if there was surveillance camera that captured the masked man getting into the trunk of Cui Jian's car, it did not mean that Cui Jian had nothing to do with the incident. The third thing: the higher-ups told Cui Jian to be detained for a full 48 hours.

Well, since it was all clear, Cui Jian could only accept the arrangement. He called Li Ran, but the line was busy. He called Yiyi and told her that she would be involved in Shi Feng's prison escape and would be detained for 48 hours. Yiyi knew what was going on, so she contacted the housekeeper and searched for Shi Feng's whereabouts through the electronic eye.

The detention room is much better than the detention room. Although it is not large, it is also one person per room and equipped with a toilet. In order to prevent suicide, there is no shower equipment, and you need to go to the public shower room at the specified time to take a shower. As for privacy, there is basically none. There is no door even in the toilet, only a short curtain. Even if it is fully drawn, the calves of the person using the toilet can be seen from outside.

Opposite Cui Jian's detention room is Ai Li's detention room, separated by two iron fences and a corridor. Ai Li's mental state is very bad. She has changed her lively and outgoing personality and spends more time sitting on a bench in a daze. The bench is fixed to the ground and people are not allowed to sit on the bed except when sleeping. Of course, they can also sit on the ground.

There are four detention rooms in the police station, two of which are occupied. There are full-time uniformed police officers standing on the side. Not to mention speaking, even if there is too much eye contact, it will be stopped. I think it was because of the special tightening of control after Shi Feng escaped.

At 7pm, the first visitor arrived at the detention center. The director who brought the visitor asked the police on duty to leave and left the visitor. The visitor was Cui Jian's acquaintance: Edward, the director of the National Criminal Police Department. He came to persuade Ellie that as long as Ellie handed over all the duplicate photos, he would pretend that the incident had never happened.

Ai Li asked: "What about Shi Feng? How are you going to deal with him?"

Edward replied: "He is suspected of murder and theft in France, and he has violated the agreement we signed with him. He will be sent back to Paris to be imprisoned."

Ellie said: "Your conversation is insincere."

Edward said: "Okay, Shi Feng will die." Because Shi Feng knew the identity of the person in the photo.

Ellie: "I have to die too?"

Edward smiled and said, "If you were just Guo Xing Ellie, you might die. You don't trust me, the boss of Guo Xing, so don't you trust your real boss?"

After saying that, Edward turned to Cui Jian who was doing a set of push-ups on the other side and said, "Hello Cui Jian, I'm sorry to involve you in this."

Cui Jian: "So it was you who put me in jail. You better be careful."

Edward: "No, it's your good brother who asked me to stay here."

Ellie asked, "What do you mean?"

Edward said, "Duanmu's people used Cui Jian's name to let Shi Feng cooperate with the fake Cui Jian to escape from prison. In order to avoid complications, they used a little trick to keep Cui Jian in the police station."

Ellie: "You're lying. If that were the case, you wouldn't be here."

Edward: "You are right. If that were the case, I would not be here. It's just that two hours ago, Shi Feng fell into the hands of another person. Shi Feng said he had three memory cards, one at the back door of his neighbor's apartment building, one in the gap between the safes in a supermarket, and one in your hands. From what I know about you, you are much smarter than him and will definitely not let the memory card become deadly evidence."

Ellie hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, if I fail to dial the designated number every seven days, the contents of the memory card will be uploaded to the Internet. I think most people don't think the contents are that novel, but those who are interested can find key information."

Edward said: "So you are qualified to negotiate. Think about it, I'm waiting for your answer."

Ellie said: "Shi Feng and I will enter the United States Marshals Protection System, plus two million dollars." The United States Marshals Protection System will provide the protected person with a new identity, and will send someone to protect the protected person while he or she adapts to the identity.

Edward said: "Shi Feng is not good enough. I don't trust him. He is too young and will not be satisfied with a stable life of seclusion."

Ellie said, "I insist. This is also my bottom line." Edward pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Cui Jian, "Do you believe it? Ellie will risk her life to protect Shi Feng?"

Cui Jian: “I don’t know.”

Edward: "I know that although Shi Feng is controlled by Ellie, their relationship is not good. Shi Feng's several actions were forced. In order to prevent Shi Feng from escaping, Ellie also controlled his communications, his money, and confiscated his documents. Unless one of them has a sadistic tendency and the other has a masochistic tendency."

Edward finished speaking and turned to look at Ellie: "There is another possibility that Shi Feng did not tell the truth. He did keep a memory card, but it has nothing to do with you, Ellie. So Ellie, you must bring Shi Feng with you to get the memory card."

Edward's eyes were sharp, but Ellie remained unmoved: "Your argument is very logical, then do as you wish. At most, we can die together."

Edward hesitated. Shi Feng was a soft-hearted person, and he confessed everything in a few seconds. But Shi Feng was also an old hand, was he telling the truth? Was the memory card really under Ellie's control? Forced confession has this disadvantage, the one who forced the confession needs an answer, but the one being forced may provide a wrong answer.

Such problems will not arise during torture, as its purpose is to make you confess, and they need an answer that they are sure of.

Did you kill the person? If not, then beat him up, and in the end the suspect will have to confess that he killed the person.

Edward's question: Who killed the man? This leaves room for nonsense.

Edward has many choices. The first solution: Don't care if Shi Feng lied or not, agree to Ellie's conditions, give Ellie and Shi Feng freedom and money. Doing this will most likely get the memory card. But Shi Feng doesn't like being controlled, and he can't stand a long-term secluded life. If he talks nonsense, it will be useless for him to get the memory card. After all, many people only need answers, not evidence.

The best solution is to agree to Ellie's conditions, get the memory card from Ellie, and get rid of the unstable factor Shi Feng. But the problem is which of Shi Feng's words is true.

However, Shi Feng was already in the hands of his boss, so Edward was not in a hurry. He turned to explain to Cui Jian, as if he wanted to sort out his thoughts through talking. Unexpectedly, Cui Jian became sleepy as soon as he started talking, and interrupted him impatiently: "Shut up, I don't care about your shit. I don't care about your ice spikes and fire knives. Whoever wants to touch me, I will kill him first."

Ai Li said: "Cui Jian, he told you this openly, it's obvious that he wants to drag you into the conspiracy and then kill you to silence you."

When Cui Jian heard this, he looked towards Edward. The cold murderous intent that came from hundreds of lives made the experienced Edward shiver. He suppressed his discomfort and smiled, "I'm not interested in you. Be careful of your brothers." He tried to clear himself and shift the blame to someone else. After all, it was Duanmu who trapped Cui Jian here.

People like Edward are more afraid of people like Cui Jian. People like Cui Jian have simple and crude ideas. It is difficult to convince them with words, and they are not easy to fall into traps. They seem to be brainless, but when it comes to killing, they have the smartest brains. Edward has watched all the videos of Cui Jian's gunfights when he was a bodyguard, and found that Cui Jian has a very strong ability to respond to on-the-spot combat and has a rare combat perception ability.

When you are an enemy of Cui Jian, it is best to kill him in one go, otherwise you can only wait for him to counterattack. Of course, the fear is not because they are afraid of Cui Jian, but it is very costly to deal with Cui Jian. Given Cui Jian's status, such an investment is not worth it. Killing Cui Jian not only costs a lot, but also has no profit. No one will even shed two tears for Cui Jian's death.

If you meet such a difficult barefoot person, it is better not to provoke him.

There were footsteps in the corridor of the detention room. The police chief walked to the big iron door, looked at the surveillance camera and raised his left hand. After identification, the duty officer opened the iron door. The chief walked to Edward's ear and said, "Duanmu is here. Do you think you should leave first?"

Edward wondered, "Why would he come?"

Director: "He has a good relationship with the mayor of Hancheng. He said his friend was detained and wanted to visit him. The mayor called me."

Edward nodded, Duanmu was using this as an excuse to visit Cui Jian, not Ellie.

In cities with an electoral system, the mayor is elected by the citizens, but the police chief is appointed by the mayor. Therefore, if the police do not do a good job, the mayor will be blamed. From this point, it can be seen that the mayor has personnel power over the police chief. Interestingly, the mayor and the police chief do not have personnel power over ordinary police officers. Of course, they can deal with disobedient police officers by making things difficult for them, but they cannot deal with a police officer for no reason. After all, there is a police union to protect the interests of the police.

Edward thought for a moment: "Let him come in and talk together."

Duanmu arrived and greeted Cui Jian first: "You look good."

Cui Jian asked angrily, "Are you cheating me?"

Duanmu was startled: "Don't talk nonsense."

Cui Jian pointed and said, "He said so."

Duanmu turned to question Edward: "You are talking nonsense, what evidence do you have?"

Edward didn't expect Duanmu to be such a coward, daring to do it but not to admit it, but he didn't want to admit it without doing it, so he could only ask: "Didn't you take Shi Feng away?"

Duanmu: "Shi Feng is in the hands of the bastard."

Edward was speechless for a moment. Yes, Shi Feng was in the hands of someone in his camp, but he had also snatched him from Duanmu. He didn't recognize the two people who were taken away from the police station and kidnapped Shi Feng. At present, the news is that the two are members of the Bai Gang. In the early years, they were some kind of brothers in Blue Enchantress. Blue Enchantress was killed by Qi Sha, and they were lucky enough to escape because they were not around Blue Enchantress that day. Later, they became henchmen under Chu He. With the death of Chu He, they were assigned to the financial company, and their daily work was to collect debts.

Who hired them? I don't know, because after entering the room, the commandos shot them dead with lightning speed.

Edward felt flustered when he thought of this. He looked at Duanmu and thought, could this be a trap set by Duanmu? Duanmu smiled back. Edward couldn't think of why Duanmu did this.
If it were Cui Jian, after obtaining the above information, he would only come to one conclusion: Duanmu deliberately gave Shi Feng to Edward.

When Edward and his team proved Cui Jian's conclusion, they had an idea that Duanmu had already got what he wanted. Once this thing fell into the hands of the special forces captain, no one could make him spit it out voluntarily, which was equivalent to the special forces team holding some evidence.

Did Duanmu really get the thing? I don't know, maybe he did, maybe he didn't. You can bet if you can afford to lose.

This is the main reason why Cui Jian never uses his brain cells on these things. It is too troublesome to go around in circles.

Duanmu is different from Cui Jian. Duanmu is not only smart, but also enjoys the fun of tossing. Double the toss, double the fun.

Duanmu would never be satisfied with just the title of a special forces captain. As long as he has the energy, he will keep going step by step, and the final outcome will be either destruction or becoming the king of the universe. Life is endless, and struggles are endless. This is Duanmu's understanding of the short life of human beings, which is less than a hundred years.

"Call me when you leave." Cui Jian lay down on the bed. The prison guards would not allow him to sit on the bed, let alone lie down.

Duanmu and Edward, two untrustworthy guys, forgot about this matter before they left. Finally, the prison guard who came back to work woke up Cui Jian. He was very nice and told Cui Jian that it was a basic rule of the detention room that he could not lie on the bed.
