Hong Kangquan's request caused the police officers to exchange looks of doubt, and they did not dare to make a decision on their own. If they didn't allow him to call, and if he were to sue them for "police officers abusing their powers," it would not even have to go through court. His mere words would be enough to drown them. Then what would happen to their future? However, if they allowed him to call, what if he got an extremely capable lawyer who managed to bail him out? Then they would not be able to explain it to the Special Forces.
The police officers thought about it repeatedly and eventually decided to seek the opinion of their supervisor. The moment the call got connected, the supervisor immediately agreed to let Hong Kangquan make the call, much to everyone's surprise. He even said things like, "No matter how severe the crime was, you are not allowed to not let someone hire a lawyer! This is a human right! A human right! Understand?"
