Chapter 19

Even More Strange, That Terrifying White Light!

He didn’t know if this person was friend or foe, but this person definitely wouldn’t appear for no reason and injure the robber.

It was very likely that they were the helpers of the robber. They were fighting each other because of the uneven distribution of the loot, or they wanted to silence them!

Of course, it was also possible that this was a mysterious person who was secretly helping Zhou Xiaoxiao. Then, what was his motive for helping her?

Moreover, with such a lethal weapon in hand, it was impossible for them to be ordinary people. This was because even bows and crossbows were restricted from being bought. It was very difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with the corresponding channels. Moreover, who would be free to carry lethal weapons out?

If this person existed, then this sensational case in all of Hibiscus City would be different!

Captain Chen felt that he should find this person no matter what.

At the very least, he had to find sufficient evidence as soon as possible to prove that there was such a person who disappeared after existing.

“Doctor Gao, let’s go and ask the suspect together!”

Captain Chen was even more anxious than Doctor Gao, which surprised the other party.

The two of them quickly arrived outside the suspect’s room.

Captain Chen suddenly thought of something as he held the door handle. He looked at Doctor Gao and asked again,

“Doctor Gao, could you have seen wrongly? Could the wound have been cut by Little Officer Zhou with something else?”

“Also, could it be caused by the robber’s recent rupture of his new wound?”

“This can’t be a joke. Are you confident?”

This time, it was Doctor Gao’s turn to be speechless and helpless. He said angrily in a low voice, “You can doubt my character, but you can’t doubt my professionalism!”

“Alright, alright. Since you’ve already guaranteed it with your character, I’ll believe you for now.”

With that, Captain Chen opened the special intensive care unit.

This place was specially prepared by the hospital for the police. The main purpose was to treat the injuries of some suspects who had not been convicted for humanitarian reasons.

Captain Chen led Doctor Gao into the ward with a frown.

Seeing that Captain Chen had returned, the two police officers on duty to guard the suspect immediately stood up and saluted.

“Captain Chen, why are you back again?”

Captain Chen glanced at the listless suspect and waved at the two team members. “Go out for a while. I have something to ask the suspect.”

“Yes!” The two of them nodded and walked out of the ward.

When one of the team members was about to close the door handle, Captain Chen waved his hand. “By the way, call Officer Zhang over to record the suspect’s statement.”

“Alright, Captain Chen, please wait a moment!”

After a while, a policewoman in her thirties with short hair entered the ward with some documents and equipment.

Officer Zhang closed the door and skillfully took out a recording pen and placed it in front of the robber’s bed.

Doctor Gao gave him a chair. Officer Zhang thanked him and sat down.

He held a folder in his hand and looked at Captain Chen, indicating that he could begin.

“Sorry to trouble you, Officer Zhang,” Captain Chen said politely.

It was because the two of them were not in the same system. The policewoman in front of him was a criminal police officer who specialized in investigating major criminals. She was only helping Captain Chen now.

Originally, Captain Chen had planned to bring the patient back to the police station for interrogation immediately after his injuries stabilized. However, now that the matter was urgent, he had no choice but to understand the situation in advance.

“I’m warning you, if you confess, we’ll be lenient. If you resist, you’ll be severely punished. You’ll answer whatever I ask next!” Captain Chen’s expression darkened as he scolded the robber sternly.

At this moment, the robber had already taken off his hood and his identity information had been obtained by the police.

Moreover, he knew very well that he was dead meat if he was caught red-handed.

Hence, the robber put on a fearless attitude and said disdainfully, “Why? You make it sound like I can still be saved. I’ve already told you. What else do you want to say?”

Captain Chen pulled over two chairs and gestured for Doctor Gao to sit down as well.

He picked up the photo in his hand and said calmly, “Now we suspect that you’re hiding important information. If you tell us the truth, I think you know the difference between being shot and being sentenced to life imprisonment.”

When Captain Chen mentioned shooting, the robber’s entire body trembled, and his eyes became serious.

Who wasn’t afraid of death?

Especially when one knew that one was about to die, it was often when one’s mentality was gradually disintegrating.

This fear of death would slowly magnify over time until the haze of death completely enveloped a person’s heart.

Therefore, it wasn’t that the robber wasn’t afraid of death. He was just forcefully changing his mentality in front of the police he hated.

As the old saying went, ‘Beheading is no more than nodding your head to the ground. Eighteen years later, you’ll be a good man again!’

However, who had ever seen the netherworld or someone reincarnate?

Therefore, if he was dead, he was really dead.

This world has nothing to do with you anymore. Everything about you will be erased, including your consciousness.

The colors of the world, the seven emotions and six desires, and even himself would completely disappear!

There was an old saying: ‘Better to live than to die’.

The robber was stunned for a moment before asking, “Is that security guard dead?”

He desperately wanted to know if the security guard he had shot was dead.

If he had not died, he might have been able to obtain some clemency in his sentence.

Captain Chen laughed to himself. It seemed that this robber knew the pros and cons very well.

“No, he’s temporarily out of danger. Fortunately, you didn’t hit his left chest. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot.”

Hearing this, the robber heaved a sigh of relief.

Now that he was under someone else’s roof, he had no choice but to lower his head. Hence, he cooperated with Captain Chen and recounted the incident.

Captain Chen suddenly raised his hand to interrupt the robber. “Wait, repeat how your wrist was injured!”

Although the robber was puzzled, he could only listen obediently. “At that time, I was about to scare the hostages in front of me when the female police officer suddenly roared. I was knocked down by the policewoman. The moment I fell, I felt something flash past my eyes. Then, my wrist hurt so much that I dropped my pistol…”

As he spoke, the robber stretched his bandaged wrist in front of Captain Chen and the other two. He pursed his lips and said, “Here, this is it. The doctor said that the tendons in my hand are broken.”

—Hiss!

The robber seemed to have moved too much and pulled at his wound. He grimaced and muttered softly.

“The tendons in my hands are broken. I really don’t know how you police officers train. You can still do such a thing when you’re under control.”

“Even female police officers are so ruthless? Or is it that the police are secretly equipped with special weapons now? If I had known that you were so powerful now, I wouldn’t have committed a crime…”

Captain Chen could tell that the robber was trying his best to hide his ferocity. He actually changed the topic of killing hostages to scaring people. He found it funny. “If you had known earlier, what would you have done? It’s too late to regret it now!”

However, Doctor Gao, who was at the side, heard this and asked, “From what you said, you said that you didn’t see Officer Zhou cut you with your own eyes. Is that what you mean?”

‘Um…’

Captain Chen only realized what was suspicious after Doctor Gao reminded him.

He quickly asked, “The moment you mentioned that you fell together, there was a white flash?”

“What’s that? Did you see it clearly?”

The robber was frightened by their imposing manner. He stammered, “I don’t know. I didn’t see clearly. Besides, I was focused on shooting the hostage…”

Doctor Gao and Captain Chen looked at each other, as if they were communicating something with their eyes.

The robber’s heart went numb as he watched. He wondered if Doctor Gao and Captain Chen would use private punishment on him.

Captain Chen was the first to question the robber again. “Are you sure there were only the five of you present and no one else?”

“Officer Chen, I’m really not lying to you. I’m sure, I’m sure, and I promise!”

Seeing that the robber was so sure that there was someone else at the scene, Captain Chen raised the close-up photo of the robber’s wrist wound.

He pointed at the photo and deliberately bluffed, “I have evidence now to suspect that you have an accomplice. You were seriously injured because you didn’t split the loot equally! Why aren’t you telling the truth?!”
