Chapter 1484 - 1470: Interrogation
"I say, you better behave. Do you still think you can do as you please now that you're here? Quickly, what's your age?" The old cop sitting to the side spoke up, sternly reprimanding him.
"Twenty-three." Lin Chuan, with his hands cuffed, could only answer somewhat reluctantly.
"Gender." Seeing that Lin Chuan hadn't lost his temper, the old cop smiled with satisfaction, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, while the young cop continued to ask questions.
"Damn it." Lin Chuan finally couldn't hold back. This kind of scenario that had been played to death on TV was now happening to him.
"Hmm, why aren't you speaking? Gender?" The young cop asked impatiently, deliberately raising his voice a few decibels.
Lin Chuan disdainfully glanced at the young cop, turned his head away, and ignored them.
Seeing Lin Chuan's arrogant expression, the young cop immediately got anxious, angrily tapped the table with one hand, and shouted loudly, "You better answer honestly, it'll work to your advantage. If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude."
"Heh, how rude do you plan to be?" Lin Chuan was least afraid of threats. Hearing the young cop dare to threaten him, he immediately responded with interest.
"You..." The young cop was so angry he couldn't speak, and it was the old cop who started talking again.
"Lin Chuan, we're interrogating you now. Don't turn this into you questioning us. Cooperate fully, and you might receive leniency in the end."
Lin Chuan let out a slight snort, ignoring the two cops, not knowing where to vent his pent-up anger.
"I tell you, Lin Chuan, if you don't cooperate, we can't proceed. If we write something down incorrectly, don't blame us for it." The old cop finally issued a blatant threat.
Lin Chuan chuckled out of anger, held back his laughter, and suddenly said in a pseudo-serious tone, "Aren't you guys asking about my gender? Fine, bring me a pretty woman, then you'll know if I'm a man or a woman. Hah, by the way, do you have any pretty female cops here? I'd like that very much, never tried a policewoman before!"
Lin Chuan said this just to vent his dissatisfaction since they had grabbed him without any reason. But by saying this, and given that he was a suspect of rape and robbery, the two cops seized on Lin Chuan's words as evidence against him.
"Brother Xu, I told you, this guy doesn't look like a good person. Finally showing his true colors, daring to insult our female cops. I think there's no need to continue the interrogation." The young cop sneered insincerely.
The old cop let out a long breath of satisfaction, gave Lin Chuan a sidelong glance, and whispered to the young cop, "We should go through the motions, just in case anything happens later."
"Where were you last night? Who were you with?" The old cop's face changed, sternly continued to ask.
"Hotel, with no one." Lin Chuan replied without thinking, it was true about the hotel, but he intentionally concealed Wu Yuanyuan.
Hearing this, the old cop and the young cop exchanged smiles. To them, a normal person not sleeping at home at night and instead staying at a hotel was even more of a motive for crime.
The old cop immediately questioned further, "Be specific, which hotel? Name? Why not sleep at home when you have a place here?"
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, he couldn't really remember which hotel he stayed at with Wu Yuanyuan last night. He recalled it wasn't a high-end hotel, but this made him remember Wu Yuanyuan's wild side last night, bringing a smile to his lips.
"I forgot the specific hotel, but I know the address, you can check it out. I stayed there because I had something to do and it was too far from home." Lin Chuan replied calmly.
"Nonsense, I think you're lying. You weren't at a hotel, you were up to no good. In the middle of the night, with a place to stay, you claim to be in a hotel? Who are you fooling?" The young cop couldn't help but interject.
Lin Chuan shrugged helplessly and said, "If you don't believe me, I can't help it. This city is yours, you call the shots. If you're not interested in checking the hotel, I have a question for you. You claim I raped a girl, so where's the girl? What's her name?"
"Uh..."
Both were speechless at the same time, exchanged glances, and the experienced old cop said, "Don't worry about that, it's the girl's privacy. What matters is the girl reported it, and we're obligated to catch the culprit to clear her name."
"Clear her name, huh. So who's going to clear mine?" Lin Chuan suddenly stood up, firmly countering.
Lin Chuan's abrupt stand startled the two cops, who immediately stood up, watching Lin Chuan nervously.
"What do you want to do? This is the police station, don't get any wild ideas." The old cop forcefully knocked on the table, warning him.
