When the police arrived, they were stunned at the sight before them.
They had received a report saying that dozens of people were beating a student. Worried that a major homicide might occur, the police rushed over, even bringing anti - riot equipment. When they saw seven or eight vans parked there, their hearts sank. They thought to themselves that it was terrible and that the student would probably be either dead or seriously injured.
However, what they saw now was an incredible scene. If it weren't for those people constantly holding their stomachs and vomiting acid on the ground, the police would almost have thought that these people were feigning. When they saw John King lying on the ground, they were even more shocked. This bully, notorious in Sunny County, had a long criminal record in the police station, but there had always been no conclusive evidence to arrest him. Unexpectedly, this guy had fallen here this time. At this moment, his face was beaten beyond recognition, with blood flowing continuously and even his white bones exposed. His appearance was a bit hideous. His leg was also beaten so that he couldn't move, and his face was swollen like a pig's head. At this moment, he was lying there feebly, like a dead dog.
"Serves you right! It's your turn today!" Many policemen cheered secretly.
Looking at Ethan, the "culprit", he was spotless and looked calm and composed. The policemen couldn't help but sincerely admire him in their hearts. The word "young hero", which only appeared in ancient times, now emerged in the minds of many people.
Even so, the police still had to act according to the law.
"Gathering a crowd for a brawl and disturbing public order. Take them all away!" A police officer waved at these people and said.
...
In the detention room.
"Kid, you're so gutsy! In the whole Sunnydale County, and even in the whole Azura city, you are the first person who dares to do this to them." James Liu, who was supposed to take Ethan's statement according to the procedure, couldn't help giving Ethan a thumbs - up. His face was full of admiration.
"However, although we admire you, we can't connive at you. You beat someone disabled on the street and smashed a Land Rover. They are going to sue you, so you should be mentally prepared." James Liu said. His voice also showed a sense of injustice. Ethan had clearly done a good deed by getting rid of a bad guy for the people, but in the end, these bastards were making false accusations instead. It was really frustrating.
"Actually, I think you don't need to be too afraid of their suing you. What you should worry about is their underhanded tricks. It's easier to dodge a spear in the open than an arrow shot from hiding. If they play dirty, you will be defenseless. Moreover, these people are ruthless and have no bottom line. I'm afraid they will involve your family." James Liu reminded Ethan.
"I say, James, do you still have any principles? Do you still understand discipline? You are actually chatting with him. Hurry up and interrogate and take the confession!" A person walked in from outside and reprimanded James Liu.
"All right, all right! I'll take it right away." James Liu looked at Ethan, and a helpless expression flashed across his face.
"Tell me, why did you hit people? Why did you damage someone else's vehicle?" James Liu asked. Then he whispered to Ethan, "There are cameras here, and all the evidence is very unfavorable to you! You should be mentally prepared. Besides, you hit so hard. The crime of intentional injury is definitely unavoidable. At least you will have to stay in the police station for a few days. So, I suggest that you quickly notify your family to leave. Otherwise, when you are in, those bastards will surely cause trouble for your parents."
Hearing this, Ethan's eyes turned cold.
"James, do me a favor." Ethan said.
"What favor? Let me make it clear in advance that it's impossible for me to let you go!" James Liu said.
"Go and find the captain of the criminal investigation brigade temporarily stationed in our county, and tell him that I have important clues for him."
"What important clues?" James Liu asked in confusion.
"A clue that can enable him to completely solve the cases in his hands and wipe out the entire drug - trafficking group." Ethan said.
"You... you're not joking, are you? Recently, Captain Mark Ma has been in a bad mood! If you dare to provide false information, you will not only harm me but also yourself! You have to think clearly!"
"Don't worry. It's guaranteed to be okay! Just tell him that he has been deceived again this time. The enemy has feigned an attack in one place while making the real attack in another. Also, if he misses this time, who knows when he will be able to catch these people again. I can help him catch those people." Ethan said.
"What do you mean by being deceived again? What does feigning an attack in one place while making the real attack in another mean?" James Liu said somewhat confusedly.
"Just go and tell him, and he will know."
"Are you really sure that you can help them catch the criminals, and not joking..." James Liu questioned.
"Brother, do I look like I'm joking?"
James Liu was still a bit hesitant.
"If you don't do me this favor, then I really have no hope at all. You won't just stand by and watch me being harmed by these bastards, will you?" Ethan said.
"All right! I'll give you a hand!" James Liu seemed to have made up his mind.
Then he put the record form there and walked out.
Criminal Police Brigade.
"Captain, we've come up empty - handed again this time. Did you have the wrong hunch? There's nothing in Sunny County!" Criminal Police Michael He, looking tired, reported to a dark - skinned, short - haired, and lean man after drinking a glass of water.
"This time, the brothers made a big move and carried out a cross - regional operation, but still achieved nothing. I'm afraid that when we go back, the chief will be furious again!" Another criminal police, Frank Zhang, said.
"Brothers, you've worked hard. I'll go over it again here and think about whether we've missed something. If there's still no harvest, we'll go back to the city immediately." Captain Mark Ma said.
Just then.
"Captain Mark Ma, there's James Liu from the county public security bureau outside. He said he wants to provide you with important information."
"Important information? Michael, go and have a look." Mark Ma said.
"Captain, he said he only wants to report to you."
Mark Ma pondered for a moment.
"Then let him in."
"Brother, what's the situation? Why so mysterious?" Mark Ma said to James Liu with a smile.
"Captain Mark Ma, someone asked me to tell you that he said you've been deceived this time! The enemy has feigned an attack in one place while making the real attack in another."
"Hmm?" Captain Mark Ma frowned.
He felt as if he had really missed something.
"Did he say anything else?"
"He also said that if this opportunity is missed, who knows when it will be possible to catch these people again!" James Liu glanced at Mark Ma and continued.
"Anything else?"
"He... he said that he can help you catch these people." James Liu said with little confidence.
To be honest, he himself didn't quite believe this statement.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately jumped up.
"Who is he? How dare he say such big words? Captain, don't be fooled by him!"
"Exactly! He's not afraid that his tongue will be cut off by the wind!"
"This is not the way to joke!"
Those team members didn't believe this statement at all.
They had been tracking for so long without any harvest. Now this guy who came out of nowhere actually boasted that he could help them catch the drug dealers. This was simply an international joke.
