The officer gripping Badawi’s arm squinted his eyes into a slit, dizzy from the camera flash.
Their arrest of Badawi hadn’t been ostentatious; on the contrary, they tried to be as discreet as possible. However, Badawi was a public figure, and he was participating in a golf tournament. The police couldn’t wait until the end of the game, as there would be too many variables. Ni Cha himself wasn’t even confident in keeping the secret that long.
By the time Badawi was brought to the police station, there were already dozens of reporters outside.
The son-in-law of the late Member of Parliament was now taken back to the police station, and there were rumors that the "Member of Parliament Renne drowning case" had been reopened. The various connections easily led to a series of speculations, and spawned a large amount of viewership and readership.
As for where the "rumors" came from, that goes without saying.
"Captain Jiang, the suspect has been taken to the interrogation room, and he’s requesting a lawyer. Besides that, he hasn’t said a word," Ni Cha said solemnly, but not anxiously. This was an anticipated situation.

The difference lies in whether some people actually have a lawyer, while others not only lack legal help but can’t even afford a lawyer, which means a long and meaningless wait in the interrogation room.
Badawi certainly had a lawyer, so all he needed to do was to remain silent and wait for his lawyer to act.
