“The b*****ds won’t let you sleep?!”
I said, “Just normal interrogation techniques.”
“Normal, my ass! How many times have I told these b*****ds that they can’t be tortured or interrogated, but these people just ignore my words and don’t take them seriously!”
“People are in a hurry to handle cases, so it’s inevitable that they use some tactics. It’s done, it’s just normal torture tactics, you’re not their captain anymore, so it’s better not to say anything, be careful others don’t buy it at all.”
At the mention of this, Liu Hao turned his anger into laughter and sat across from me holding his stomach and giggling as if he was talking about something very happy, a complete contrast to the way he looked the day he resigned.
Liu Hao said, “You don’t know how good I felt when I told Yang Zhen that I was quitting. sh*t, I might only have this chance to go against Yang Zhen once in my life. This guy Yang Zhen is so shady, he can play politics, not like us. If he wanted to get rid of me, he wouldn’t even need to have blood on his hands, just a few words and he could have got me killed.”
I said, “Yang is only your leader, Zhou is a person who has been kind to you, now you want to resign for your own personal feelings, have you thought about it, if something happens in the future, who will help Director Zhou?”
“The first time I heard about my resignation letter, I was interviewed many times, and I was told not to resign. The two of them are clear to see who is black and who is white, and as for Lao Yang, I don’t even want to analyze it. I don’t even want to analyse it. Old Zhou is my direct superior, so if he doesn’t let me resign, I can’t really get away for a while.”
Liu Hao sounded like he was helpless, but his tone was full of smugness.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Liu Hao left as it was not advisable for him to stay long.
When the policemen came back again, their faces and attitudes were much better, so it should be that Liu Hao had greeted them.
This guy Liu Hao’s people skills were really good.
But that doesn’t mean they won’t toss me around anymore. The reason they stopped beating me up was just to sell face to Liu Hao.
This time, they changed their approach.
By the evening of the third day, I was informed that I was to be transferred to the guardhouse.
I had actually been in the guardhouse before and was not a stranger to it, but looking at the way a few of the police officers had smiles on their lips, I couldn’t believe that they were simply transferring me to the misery house.
“Zhang Chao, do you know what we’re going to make you enjoy next?” I was being held by the same officer who had interrogated me on the first day, Officer Fang.
Probably because of the frustration of interrogating me, this guy started to hate me like crazy, and it made him feel better just to see me suffer.
When he asked me that, I guessed that there must be something else going on at the detention centre.
“Haha, you don’t have to guess. I heard that you are quite a good fighter, so I specially arranged for a few capable fighters from Guang Group Media to live with you. Oh yeah, I also forgot to tell you to one thing, Zheng Peng is also in the prison. He also shares a room with you.”
After saying that, he waved the key in his hand.
I lost my voice and said, “You don’t think these guys can beat me up or bully me, do you? You’re a cop at least, how can you be so devoid of common sense?”
Officer Fang was getting old and angry, but I was telling the truth, Zheng Peng couldn’t even see me without getting up on the ground in a hurry.
When he took me to Zheng Peng’s room and looked at me with a malicious look of “enjoy yourself”, Zheng Peng fell on his butt and sat on the floor, waving his hands nervously as if he had gone mad.
“No, no, no, no ……”
Officer Fang cursed, “No what no? Who are you to say no?”
He pushed me and I stumbled into the room before the large metal door closed behind me.
Zheng Peng gulped and cowered in some corner of the room like a helpless, pathetic squirrel.
Locking the door to the single room, Officer Fang took two steps back and smiled sardonically, “Zhang Chao, enjoy yourself.”
I was speechless, this Officer Fang was so childish that he left with his own men.
As soon as he turned around, the few brawny men who had just sat watching the show without saying anything, started to come forward at this time.
Apart from Zheng Peng, there were three other big brawny men, all of them not small in size.
I didn’t know what these three men were called and closed my eyes to rest for a while. Just as I lay down, I felt someone grab my feet, hanging upside down and grabbing me off the bed and ripping me to the floor.
When I opened my eyes, the three strong men surrounded me and were sizing me up. One of them, with a round nose and short dyed orange hair, slapped my face and said wildly, “You’ve got a lot of nerve, you dare to sleep in the bed on your first day here, don’t you know who sleeps in this bed?”
“That’s right, new here, you have to sweep the toilet for a week, and there’s only one bunk in this guardhouse, you can only sleep on the floor, this one is for the four of us.”
“That is, make sure you brush it nice and clean, and if you can’t, you lick the toilet clean yourself.”
“Yes, yes, yes, hahaha, quick, go and scrub it now.”
As the crowd looked on with compulsion, I stretched and said, “You can clean it if you want, first let me sleep, I haven’t slept in many days.”
Then I didn’t care if I was lying on the floor or the bed, I just closed my eyes and went to sleep.
They looked dumbfounded and the group was dumbfounded, not knowing what I meant.
It was only after a good half day, when I was snoring away in my sleep, that they reacted.
“Crap, I think this grandson took us for a joke! Wake him up and tell him to brush the toilet now!”
I was asleep when I felt my hands being picked up, slapped my face and asked if I was going to brush the toilet.
Of course I ignored these people, but I didn’t think that ignoring them would anger them even more.
Suddenly one of them raised his fist and slammed it into my stomach: “Good for you, Zhang Chao, if you don’t want to be punished, you’ll get a taste of my power.”
But this fist did not hit me, but the man opposite him.
This time, the atmosphere was awkward.
One looked at the fist in panic, while the other covered his stomach incredulously, took a few steps back and then sat down with a thud.
