Chapter 4: Arrest
Thirty minutes ago, a Gulfstream plane bound for Illinois, USA, took off from Hong Kong Airport, passing over the hotel where Ling Lan was located.
Thirty minutes later, Ling Lan was caught red-handed by the police who arrived in a hurry, and he was still dizzy and about to wake up, until he was handcuffed by the police, and he did not understand what had happened.
The door to the entrance was kicked open by the police, and there was a huge shoe print on it, and at this moment the whole hotel was shocked, whether it was the tenants or the waiters, all crowded into the aisles. I saw the police grab a teenager, and the teenager shouted while struggling: "It's not like this! That's not true! ”
"Shut up!" The policeman on the side shouted angrily, "Be honest with me, you still want to rob a house in broad daylight, you are not small!" ”
"Look at me dressed like this, I look like a robber!" Ling Lan exclaimed.
"This shows even more that you didn't succeed in robbing and had bad intentions to the owner of the room!"
"Wronged......"
Ling Lan still wanted to struggle, but the police on both sides clamped him hard, escorted him all the way out of the hotel, and pressed him into a police car.
The crowd around the audience talked and pointed their fingers.
However, the worst mood at the moment was the hotel manager, his face turned from blue to white, from white to purple, and his face turned the color of pig liver after seeing the waiter who rushed out of the hotel with a large group of tourists to watch. The manager yelled, startling several policemen in the distance. "Look at what! Haven't seen the police, have you? Get the hell out of here! The manager roared and cursed.
The onlookers immediately dispersed.
This is a famous five-star hotel in Hong Kong, but there is such a thing as "burglary" on the territory under his jurisdiction, and it is not known whether there is any property damage or not, anyway, the responsibility for this matter will eventually fall on his head.
The manager stood outside the spacious hotel, watching several policemen drag and shove a young man in gray clothes to the police, several police cars drove away in turn, turned their heads to look at the lobby of their hotel, there were already several guests standing in front of the counter and asking to check out, and their hearts were silently tearful; This is just the beginning, and I don't know how many people will have to check out later. Thinking like this, I walked down the hall, where there were still a few policemen who stayed behind to check the surveillance and find some waiters to make records.
The manager lamented that he had to be busy these days. Just thinking like this, a policeman walked up to him, and it was the one who checked the surveillance.
"Hello, it's Manager Huang, right?"
"It's me."
"I've checked the surveillance just now, and the security measures in your hotel are still good."
Manager Huang was a little stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that this is not nonsense, will the security of the five-star hotel be done well?
"But we just checked all the surveillance screens of your hotel, and it's strange that we didn't see the image of the perpetrator." The policeman was a little young, and when he spoke, he drew a picture, "I want to ask if your hotel's surveillance is in line with the quantitative standard?" ”
"This ......" Manager Huang was also a little stunned when he heard it, and then his face turned red, "Our monitoring is installed according to the highest specification quantity, how can it not be detected!" ”
"Well, come and see, the corridor and bathroom in the hall, including the long-range camera hanging outside, have not captured the figure of the criminal."
"It's impossible! There are cameras at every entrance, operating 24 hours a day, and none of them are damaged, how can they not be photographed? Manager Huang and the police came to the monitoring room together, there were already a few security guards standing inside, Manager Huang asked them, and said that they didn't find it, they didn't believe it, they sat in front of the computer for half an hour, all the monitors were checked, and still not found.
"It shouldn't be!" Manager Huang threw the mouse angrily, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted. At this moment, another policeman who was looking for a waiter to take notes also came, and he looked a little older. The young policeman told the middle-aged policeman about the matter, and the middle-aged policeman was also confused.
"This is really strange, since the surveillance is there, why can't it be filmed? I just went to ask, and the waiters said that they had never seen this person. If you think about it again, is there anything missing that has not been monitored. ”
"Not really!" The manager scratched his head and said, "If you have to say one, there is only the hotel exterior wall, but our hotel is all glass exterior walls, and it is impossible for that person to come in through the window, which is on the 19th floor!" ”
"What about the lower floors?"
"It's all the hall and the kitchen, there's a guardrail, there's no way he can get in."
In the end, the two policemen didn't ask why, and they were unwilling to check for another half an hour, so they left in a huff. The hotel manager was already holding back the fire in his belly, but now he was even more depressed, and when he walked out of the monitoring room, his brain throbbed for a while, and he was busy going to the counter to mediate with the guests.
……
The police car sped away, the lights flashed, and the siren was pulled up to make the cars in front of them give way. Ling Lan sat in the back seat of the police car, and the two police cars around him were holding him one on the left and one on the right. At first, he listened to the commotion around him and didn't pay attention to it, until he got into the police car, his head cleared up a little, and he suddenly realized that the people around him and the police seemed to be speaking Cantonese. Panicked and stunned at the moment, and the car speeding on the road, he wanted to turn his head to look outside to see if it was the place he was still familiar with, but the rapidly retreating street scene did not have time for him to watch. He asked, probably without thinking about what it was, but the policemen around him ignored him, staring straight ahead with a calm face, and their strong arms grasping his shoulders one by one. Ling Lan originally wanted to plead a few words, shout a few words of injustice or something, but now she could only be helplessly silent.
The car turned onto a side lane and a sign on the side of the street read "East Kowloon Corridor" in traditional Chinese.
Ling Lan was escorted to the police station, and through large and small doors and several aisles, he was taken to a room where he was imprisoned, and there was only a table and two benches.
Ling Lan touched his hot head with his hand, until now his cheeks were still hot and painful, and the blood from the wound on his right shoulder stained half of his shoulder red, his head was dizzy, and he quickly found a bench to sit down.
Ling Lan waited, waited, he thought that he had changed his appearance plainly, these policemen should not arrest him so certainly, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong. Ling Lan's pale face slowly leaned back on the table, carefully recalling what had happened just now, it was all so bizarre, bizarre and almost not like reality, like a dream. He experienced more in one day than in the past year.
When her head was dizzy, the door suddenly opened, and Ling Lan looked up and saw a beautiful policewoman with short hair walking into the room.
"You've bled a lot, I'll take you to the infirmary, right?" The policewoman looked at him sympathetically.
Ling Lan immediately stood up, he was in a very bad state at the moment, feeling that he would faint at any time, and walked out the door while thanking him.
"Wait a minute," a man cut in from the hallway outside, "I'll have to ask some questions first." The male policeman glanced at the female policeman and then at Ling Lan, walked slowly to the table and put down the paper and pen in his hand.
"But look at him like that......" The policewoman was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the policeman.
"—you go about your business first, and then send it to the infirmary if there is a problem." The male policeman waved his hand, and the female policeman had no choice but to close the door and leave. It looked like this man was her boss.
"Come, sit down, you see you've shed a lot of blood, why don't you sit down and rest?" The male policeman said, but there was no element of concern in his words, and he sat down first.
A wave of anger rose in Ling Lan's heart, he wanted to slap the form on the table on the man's face, but at this moment he didn't know what crime he had committed, and he didn't know why the male policeman targeted him, his body was still bleeding, he was used to cowardice since he was a child, and finally sat down with his eyes open.
"Name?" The male policeman asked coldly.
"Ling Lan."
"Write it yourself." The police pushed the form in front of Ling Lan. "You see your arm hurts, it doesn't matter, does it?" The male policeman pretended to say, but his tone was more like mockery. "You said you were so young, why did you go to burglary? How did this attempted robbery make yourself look like this? Did you know that you were going to be caught, so you slapped your swollen face and played the victim yourself? The male policeman said with a sneer, "Look at your shoulder, you really have a hand, it's amazing!" ”
Ling Lan couldn't help but be stunned when she heard these rumors and rumors he said as she wrote, it turned out that he thought of himself as the kind of gangster who often went to the detention center. The police department generally does not have a good look at such people.
Ling Lan immediately became anxious and said, "I didn't break into the house!" I was wronged! ”
"Everyone who goes to jail says they have been wronged." The male policeman sneered and took the form written by Ling Lan and looked at it. "Name: Ling Lan...... Do you have this surname? Age: 31 years old......" The male policeman looked up at Ling Lan and snorted coldly, "Sure enough, you are a habitual offender, you lie at a young age without a draft, look at you like this, you are not even eighteen years old, right?" "Keep looking," address: Beijing...... Telephone number...... Didn't write. It's all nonsense! The male policeman looked angry, crumpled the form, and threw it into the wastepaper basket next to him. He stood up and looked at Ling Lan coldly and said, "You don't say anything, do you?" What about your parents' contact details? Well, no? ”
"I, I don't know what's going on, I'm wronged! Before I knew it, I entered the room. My parents ......" Ling Lan originally wanted to defend a few words, but when she heard the male policeman ask about his parents, Ling Lan's eyes dimmed.
"Running away to sin before you know it, right? What about parents, don't want to talk about it? The male policeman didn't wait for Ling Lan to finish, "I'll tell you, even if you don't say it, we can find out according to your fingerprints!" He stood up with a snort, ignoring Ling Lan's shouting from behind, and walked out of the room and slammed the door.
Ling Lan was a little anxious, he wanted to stand up, but his ears were ringing, and his eyes were black and he sat down again. It was only at this moment that he remembered that he had not asked many things, such as where this was, what was going on with the Kowloon corridor he saw on the street, and why they were so sure that they had committed a crime......
Due to the injury and blood loss, and the fact that he hadn't eaten for a long time, a chill hit his body, and Ling Lan's head hung on the table and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, in the haze, Ling Lan heard the sound of the door opening, a slender figure appeared, he felt that someone was pushing his shoulder and calling him, so he raised his head with difficulty.
"Hey, hey!" Wang Manting didn't push Ling Lan when he woke up, "Let's go, follow me to the infirmary." She looked at Ling Lan's very bad face and couldn't help asking, "You don't care, right?" ”
Ling Lan shook her head with difficulty, and when she saw the policewoman turn around, she immediately stood up, who knew that she had just taken a step forward and fell to the ground with a "plop".
When he woke up, Ling Lan was already lying on the snow-white bed, and he stared at the ceiling of the roof in a daze for a moment before he realized where he was - no, he only knew that this was the infirmary, or he didn't know where he was.
A little further away from the bed frame, two women were talking, not very loudly, as if talking about him.
The first woman asked, "How is he?" ”
"Fortunately, it's not very serious, just lose some hanging bottles and rub some medicine, but there are a lot of injuries, most of them are teenagers fighting and fighting." The other woman replied. "You dragged it from the interrogation room?"
"yes, it's a burglary or something...... Don't use tetanus? ”
"You don't have to fight, you have to pay if you want to fight, and this is not a famous hospital...... You just said burglary? This man doesn't look like he's 18 years old! The second woman was surprised.
"yes, you look so young......"
"You can't learn well at a young age!" The second woman snorted.
"Maybe it's some other reason......
After a long time without hearing a sound, Ling Lan raised her right hand and wanted to rub her eyes, but found that there was a needle inserted in the back of her right hand, and the end was connected to an infusion tube, and she wanted to move her left hand again, and a tingling pain immediately came from her shoulder, and Ling Lan couldn't help but scream softly.
"Hey, he's awake!"
Suddenly, footsteps came from afar.
