Chapter 80: Refusing a Toast Only to Be Forced to Drink a Penalty
Gu Qili densely covered the wall with words, rubbing them off with her sleeve before continuing to write. Soon, her piece of chalk was worn down, and she was too tired to keep her eyes open.
Just then, the police came to take her for interrogation, and once again she was led into the interrogation room.
This time, six or seven people were sitting opposite her, two of whom looked like police leaders, sitting at the back with serious expressions, just listening.
The content of the interrogation was the same old story, starting with her name and age. She had to repeatedly answer them until the police mentioned the details of the case again, at which point she shut her mouth and stopped responding.
Those two leader-like figures were clearly dissatisfied, which made the interrogators restless, and their tone became harsher.
Gu Qili kept reciting words in her mind, almost ignoring those paranoid questions.
The murmuring voices around her kept repeating, the patience of the police seemed never to exhaust. The room had no air conditioning, and she was sweating profusely, yet they wouldn’t even give her a cup of water.
The interrogation continued until midnight. She was hungry, thirsty, and sleepy; the faces in front of her began to blur and split into double images.
"Gu Qili, you held a grudge against Guan Zhe because you couldn’t agree on a price, so you took advantage of his unguarded moment and seriously injured him, didn’t you?"
"No." She shook her head, feeble and drained. All she wanted was to sleep, but they simply wouldn’t let her, "I didn’t."
The room grew hotter, and her head spun, feeling almost like a heatstroke. They repeated the same questions over and over, and someone even placed a document in front of her with a pen on top of it.
