Chapter 283 - 290: Helen Wilson Shows Her Might
Helen Wilson rushed to the interrogation room and faintly heard screams. The doors to these rooms were incredibly soundproofed; without extremely loud cries, you couldn’t hear anything from outside. The fact that the sounds were audible was a testament to the severity of the beating happening inside.
Helen Wilson recognized the screams as coming from James Brown, feeling as though her heart was bleeding, her eyes red with fury. Following the sound, she located the room where James Brown was being held and violently burst through the door, shouting, "Stop!"
Upon hearing someone yelling, James Robinson hurriedly stopped the beating. After all, hitting someone here was undoubtedly abnormal. However, upon seeing that the intruder was a young female police officer, James Robinson’s face darkened and he asked, "Who are you?"
Helen Wilson completely ignored James Robinson and rushed to James Brown’s side. She carefully assessed his condition and seeing he wasn’t seriously hurt, she felt a mix of relief and suspicion and asked urgently, "How are you?"
James Brown grimaced in pain and said bitterly, "If you hadn’t come, they would have beaten me to death. They hit me with a thick stick dozens of times." He then grimaced and moaned in pain.
Seeing Helen Wilson ignore him, James Robinson’s face turned ugly. Even if Helen Wilson was a police officer, she shouldn’t ignore him like this. He said sternly, "Comrade, we are interrogating a suspect, please do not interfere with our work."
Helen Wilson exploded on hearing this, whirled around, and snapped at James, "Is this an interrogation? Torture for confessions is explicitly prohibited, you’re breaking the law knowingly."
Faced with Helen Wilson’s severe accusation, James Robinson felt uneasy. But considering the powerful backers he had, and observing Helen Wilson’s young age and realizing she wasn’t from his precinct, he decided she didn’t deserve special treatment. He sneered, "You’re not my superior, right? You have no right to boss me around here."
Clutching her fists tight, Helen Wilson said through gritted teeth, "I may not be your superior, but when you’re knowingly breaking the law, it’s my duty and my right to stop you."
James Robinson scoffed, "Listen, young comrade, I was a police officer before you even graduated from the police academy. Telling me off here, you’re still too green. If you know this guy, I advise you to stay out of it. He’s crossed lines he shouldn’t have. You can’t handle the consequences."
Helen Wilson grew even angrier and shouted, "Just because he offended someone he shouldn’t have, you think you can torture and beat him? Whose police are you? Are you serving those with money and power, or are you serving the people?"
