Chen Shan panicked!
Because George had no birth certificate, only a medical death certificate issued by the doctor that year.
Moreover, that death certificate was given to the girl at that time, which is George's biological mother.
Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes, constantly paying attention to Chen Shan's instinctual reactions, and suddenly pointed to the bench nearby, "Let's sit down over there and talk, right now I need you to cooperate with us in making a written record."
"Why should I cooperate with you on something that is utterly nonexistent?" Chen Shan objected, her face full of resistance, "No, I will not submit to an investigation!"
One of Zhang Wei's colleagues said speechlessly, "Cooperating with police investigations is a duty every citizen should fulfill!
Besides, someone filed a report, we responded to the call; this is standard procedure.
Right now, we're only making a record, asking a few questions, that's all. You're so nervously resisting, could it be that you really do have something to hide?"
Chen Shan: "Officer, don't talk nonsense, I don't have any problems!"
"You are Chinese, right?" Zhang Wei became suspicious.
Because he noticed a detail: throughout their handling of cases and responding to calls, over ninety percent of the people called them "comrade officer" or just "comrade." To be addressed as "sir" was truly a first!
Chen Shan: "I..."
Convinced that she was being evasive, Zhang Wei's gaze hardened, and he put on his authority, "Move it! Make a written record! If you continue to be uncooperative, we'll have to invite you to the station for some tea and a formal investigation!"
Three minutes later.
Zhang Wei and another officer were responsible for Chen Shan's written record.
The female officer and another colleague were responsible for the nurse's written record.
The nurse spoke clearly and gave a very detailed record.
Chen Shan, however, struggled to answer many questions, even dodging them.
She only said that her family had just come to China from Italy a year ago, that her husband was not Chinese, and refused to answer anything else, including the original and copy of George's birth certificate, her own identification, and even her current home address in China.
Zhang Wei decided to bring Chen Shan back to the police station for further investigation.
He arranged for the female officer to stay behind and look after George, who was about to finish his surgery.
Since George's father was an international character, Zhang Wei also reported the situation to the higher-ups, requesting to detain George's father immediately and bring him back to the station for questioning.
The superiors agreed.
But Chen Shan was still unwilling to provide their home address.
Zhang Wei let out a cold laugh and ordered his subordinates to quickly find it out!
In a mediation room at the police station.
Chen Shan was exhausted. Knowing she hadn't had dinner, the police gave her a bowl of instant noodles and poured her a glass of water.
Chen Shan's hands were shaking at first.
But seeing how polite the police were to her, she wondered, could it be that all Chinese police are so weak? Afraid of complaints? Or perhaps they dare not do anything to her without solid evidence?
Moreover, China's laws on child abuse are not particularly clear; even if the case were to be looked into, at most, it would result in criticism and education!
Thinking this way, Chen Shan's courage grew.
After eating her fill, she spoke coldly, "I've said what I needed to say. If you have evidence, speak with evidence! If you have no evidence, you can't keep detaining me indefinitely. Once the time for me to cooperate with your investigation is up, you still need to let me go!"
Zhang Wei found this amusing, "Do you think because we provided you with instant noodles and water, we're being nice to you, that we're easy to talk to?
If you continue to refuse to cooperate with our investigation, then we will detain you according to law, under the charge of obstructing justice!"
