341. The frenzy of public opinion, London in the dark
In the midst of the chaos, the sounds of swearing and sirens mingled.
Chen Li'an was still confronting the police at this time, and his warning just now had a little effect, but it obviously didn't work well in such an environment.
Now the scene is about to catch up with the turmoil, everyone's reason has dropped a lot, and the students who were protected by Chen Li'an shouted and shouted protest slogans while shouting.
"You are violent law enforcement! Protest! ”
"A robber is always a robber!"
"Return our artifacts!"
The protests behind Chen Li'an became louder and louder, and the scene instantly became tense, and several policemen took a step forward with electric batons, faintly surrounding Chen Li'an.
As soon as Chen Li'an saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately shouted to the policemen: "I am holding an art exhibition on behalf of China!" If you do something to me, it's a diplomatic incident! Think through! ”
Chen Li'an's words calmed them down a little, but the policeman who had just been kicked out by Chen Li'an had already gotten up, screamed and rushed up.
"Die! Damn yellow* pigs! ”
"! Belong to the dogs! Chen Li'an scolded angrily, feeling that today was really going to be over.
Sure enough, under the leadership of the impulsive policeman, his colleagues rushed up.
Chen Li'an didn't care so much, he directly beckoned the students behind him to leave quickly, and then greeted him alone.
If he is caught, he can still be released, and if these students are caught, it will definitely be troublesome if they want to come out unharmed.
If someone directly attacks the police or resists law enforcement, these students will not be able to get out.
Chen Li'an saw the policeman rushing forward with his fist raised, directly dodged his attack sideways, kicked out with his right foot at the same time, and kicked him to the knee accurately, directly causing the policeman to kneel on the ground and pounce out.
The other policemen shouted for Chen Li'an to give up resistance, and waved the electric batons and batons in their hands.
How dare Chen Li'an give up resistance at this time, if he gave up a beating, he would definitely not be avoidable, so he didn't want to be beaten violently.
Surrounded by four or five policemen, Chen Li'an kept wandering around to avoid the batons that kept waving, these policemen were different from the street gangsters, and they all had a certain fighting foundation, not to mention that these people were still wearing body armor, and it was difficult to hit them with a punch.
Chen Li'an was not confident enough that he could take them down with three punches and two kicks, but his kung fu was also practiced on the streets of the capital, and he was still comfortable in the face of such a siege, and the tricky and ruthless Baguazhang happened to be fully exerted at this time.
The joints and vital points were all the targets of Chen Li'an's attack, Chen Li'an bent down to dodge a baton that smashed into his head, and his right hand was charged upward into the policeman's chin with precision.
With a bang, the policeman fell backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and passed out.
The young little policeman was in good health, and he fell asleep.
A few policemen couldn't help but jump their eyelids when they saw this scene, but they all rushed towards Chen Li'an without any calmness in their hearts.
Reporters and TV stations not far away had already pointed their cameras here when they saw Chen Li'an appear, and it was enough to be surprised to see Chen Li'an put down a policeman twice at first.
Now seeing that Chen Li'an can still fight back surrounded by several policemen, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
Chinese Kung Fu! Chinese really know kung fu, otherwise how do you explain that an artist can beat several policemen?!
Look down on the British police!
Chen Li'an doesn't have the time to care about that much now, put it in two and several, and use his hands and feet at the same time with flexible steps, either hitting the joints or attacking the vital acupuncture points.
Chen Li'an aimed at the gap and lowered the plate, and kicked his toes directly on the inner thigh of a policeman, and the severe pain instantly made the policeman's legs limped and knelt on the ground.
While he was kneeling on the ground, Chen Li'an took a step forward and hit him directly in the face with an elbow blow, and another good baby fell asleep.
A few international students next to him were fascinated and wanted to roll up their sleeves to fight a fight, but a male student with long hair screamed and wanted to rush over, and just raised his foot and took a step forward, he stepped on the baton and fell to the ground.
Chen Li'an's afterglow saw this scene, his heart did not fluctuate, and he took the time to cut a palm obliquely on a policeman's wrist and knock off the baton in his hand.
Chen Li'an was about to mend the knife to send him to sleep, when a stern warning suddenly came from behind him!
"Don't move! If I move again, I'll shoot! ”
The police officer who had agreed to Chen Li'an to leave with the students couldn't stand it anymore, and directly took out a gun and pointed it at Chen Li'an, Chen Li'an felt the danger and took a step back and raised his hands, but the policemen didn't move, and directly hit him with a stick.
Chen Li'an didn't have time to hide, so he could only hurriedly turn his head sideways, but the eyebrow bone was still hit, and the blood flowed down instantly.
The policeman who hit Chen Li'an wanted to come again, but the officer hurriedly stopped him.
"Sean! Stop it! ”
The officer's reprimand was obviously too late, and the baton in the hand of the policeman named Sean hit Chen Li'an on the shoulder.
Chen Li'an snorted in pain, and Yu Guang saw that the officer was still holding a gun in his hand, so he had to resist the urge to kick the policeman to death.
The police officer hurriedly walked over and warned Chen Li'an not to move, and then took out handcuffs and put them on him.
Chen Li'an didn't resist, let his hands be handcuffed, looked at the police officer and said: "Don't arrest those students, they didn't do anything, otherwise I would protest through the embassy!" ”
The officer looked at him and didn't answer him, and waved his hand to the remaining police officers to subdue the protesting students.
Chen Li'an squinted at the scene, then looked around and found that most of the protesters had been arrested.
At this time, Ji Fa and Bai Qing, who received the news, hurriedly ran over, and saw that Chen Li'an's forehead was bloody, and half of his face was bloodstained, and they were about to die of anger, Ji Fa shouted directly at the policeman who was holding Chen Li'an: "Let him go!" ”
The policeman glanced at Ji Fa and said coldly: "He attacked the police and resisted law enforcement, and was arrested according to law!" ”
"He's injured and must go to the hospital, or I'll sue you!"
"Then look at my colleagues."
"I don't care!"
The policeman glanced at Ji Fa, ignored her and escorted Chen Li'an to the car, and after a while, the police car was filled with protesters, and the Chinese students looked at Chen Li'an, still indignant at this time, but they were all concerned about Chen Li'an's injury.
Chen Li'an moved his shoulder, it was very painful but not like a fracture, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and smiled to reassure them not to worry.
Several international students looked at Chen Li'an's wound and looked for paper or handkerchiefs on their bodies, wanting to bandage Chen Li'an briefly.
A few reporters who followed over stood at the back of the car and took pictures quickly while the doors were still closed.
Catching a few ordinary protesters does attract attention, but catching a globally renowned artist isn't much more eye-catching.
In particular, Chen Li'an's bloodstained face and gently smiled to comfort those students, and the huge contrast made those reporters tremble.
It's a great picture! Great material for a picture storytelling!
Outside the police car, Ji Fa was still communicating with the police, but it had no effect at all, so he immediately gave up continuing to communicate with them, turned around and began to contact the lawyer, and told Bai Qing to contact the embassy.
Chen Li'an was arrested, this kind of thing can be big or small, and now if you want Chen Li'an to come out safely, you must make the matter bigger and put pressure on the British side.
After Ji Fa finished contacting the lawyer, he looked at the reporters, raised an eyebrow and walked towards them.
That evening, the media around the world reported that the police cracked down on protesting international students in front of the British Museum.
Chen Li'an negotiated with several police officers to protect the students, and the video of the fruitless negotiation to the fight and finally being arrested by the police with a gun threat also appeared on TV, which instantly attracted great attention.
A lot of people were angry, and a few students protested against the use of force by the police? Many of the students were pinned to the ground like criminals, and some were injured.
An internationally renowned artist negotiated with the police, and was attacked by the police, and after failing to stop him, he had no choice but to fight back in order to protect the students.
Such a thing immediately aroused the discussion of international public opinion, and many media took the initiative to popularize Chen Li'an's works and said that he was an anti-war artist, and such a person should not be treated like this!
A celebrity of social status and wealth is treated like this, and those students can imagine what they will be treated in the police station.
For a time, more people protested under the impetus of well-intentioned people, and more countries that had been robbed of cultural relics came forward to condemn the protests and begged Britain to release those tourists and students from their own countries.
These protesting countries have all suffered from the theft and looting of cultural relics, and the people of their own countries are also excited at this time, and they have spoken out in the country to demand the government to protest.
These countries have also been in contact with each other, and they all have a good political vision, and they all feel that this is a very good opportunity to take the opportunity to put pressure on Britain, and maybe they can get back the cultural relics that belong to their own countries.
Even if you can't get it back, let the international community see clearly what this so-called "museum of the world" is!
At the same time, the name Chen Li'an is also spreading more and more, an anti-war artist, in order to protect the students, you can imagine how "brutal" those policemen are!
Protest! Must protest! Chen Li'an and those protesters must be released immediately and unconditionally!
As for Chen Li'an's downfall of a few policemen, everyone subconsciously ignored it, and it was natural to choose what was beneficial to him to promote public opinion.
Chen Li'an is a victim, so it can't be mentioned that he knocked down a few centimeters of policemen, and it is good to keep emphasizing the fact that Chen Li'an was injured when he was arrested, especially the picture of Chen Li'an sitting in a police car with blood on his head to comfort the students, which is even more widely circulated.
Isn't Great Britain a self-proclaimed gentleman and aristocrat? How can you be so shameless!
A group of students just called for the return of their country's cultural relics, why was it suppressed by force!
Tacitly pushed by everyone, protests turned into appeals, police dispersal turned into force repression, and everything began to turn sour.
The situation in London has become more complicated at this time, at first it was only a protest about the British Museum, and now some special groups have also taken the opportunity to do something.
Mass marches and protests were organized spontaneously or propulsively that night, with migrant masses and activist groups taking to the streets.
In the embassy, Bai Qing was communicating with the leaders and asking the police to release Chen Li'an immediately.
Naturally, the leaders of the embassies will not sit idly by, and have already begun to contact the embassies and lodge protests and representations with the British side at the same time.
It was just early in the morning in China, and CCTV's morning news immediately broadcast the incident, and various newspapers also published relevant reports, and for a while, domestic public opinion and people's anger were also hooked.
At this time, Lin Fangmu in the Propaganda Department felt that his head was too big, he was 100% sure that the one who painted was also Chen Li'an, these things must have been done by Chen Li'an, even if other forces intervened to help the trouble, but the initiator must be Chen Li'an!
"I really don't know if Chen Li'an is using others or being used, the current situation is a bit complicated." Lin Fangmu sighed, but he still took his coat and prepared to go out to find someone to rescue Chen Li'an.
At this time, there were many people who were worried about Chen Li'an, especially when they saw the picture of Chen Li'an's injury and the picture of being pointed at gunpoint by the police at that time, his friends at home and abroad couldn't help but worry about whether Chen Li'an would be treated unfairly after he was arrested.
It's just that some people have no choice but to worry, and some people have already begun to speak out through their own channels.
Ji Fa, who was in London, was negotiating with the police with his lawyer and some celebrity friends in London at this time, asking them to release Chen Li'an immediately.
The person in charge of the police station directly rejected the request for release, and the person in charge of the police station said solemnly: "It is impossible to release him now, he openly attacked the police and resisted law enforcement, and he must not be released just like this!" ”
Some policemen next to them also spoke out, their colleagues and friends are still in the hospital, they were all beaten by Chen Li'an, how can such a person who openly provokes the police be released at will!
The lawyer brought by Ji Fa pushed his glasses and said: "We ask for bail, there is a video to prove that the police attacked my client in violation of regulations, and he only returned the hand to protect himself, and we will accuse you of attacking my client in violation of regulations!" ”
"No bail! When the investigation is clear, we will also accuse him of assaulting the police! ”
When Ji Fa heard it, he immediately wanted to speak, but was stopped by the lawyer, and after telling her to calm down, he turned to the police and said, "I ask to see my client immediately now, you can't refuse!" If my client is mistreated at the police station, I will sue you immediately! ”
After the lawyer finished speaking, he didn't look at the policemen, turned his head and said to Ji Fa: "It's a little difficult to want them to release people tonight, I'll go see Mr. Chen first, don't worry, I have someone they don't dare to operate in violation of the law." ”
Ji Fa held back the anger in his heart and said, "Can you bring the doctor in?" I'm worried about his injuries. ”
"We have doctors." The narrator's policeman interjected.
The lawyer patted Ji Fa on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll go and see first." ”
Chen Li'an was chatting with the protesters who were locked up with him at this time, the wound on his brow was no longer bleeding, but his face was still full of blood, and his clothes were also full of blood, and he looked miserable.
However, Chen Li'an still chatted with those people with a smile on his face, saying that they did a good job, saying that the British Museum was shameless, and that he would definitely stand with them!
Chen Li'an originally wanted to hide behind the scenes, but now that he is involved, he will take advantage of the situation and make things bigger, otherwise if he goes out, the other arrested people will not have so many people paying attention.
The benefits of being a public figure are reflected at this time.
Soon a police officer came and called Chen Li'an out, saying that his lawyer had arrived.
The other people in the detention room all showed a look of expectation on their faces when they heard this, but some people were worried that Chen Li'an would not go out directly, and they were the only ones left.
Chen Li'an looked at them and said, "I said that I would stand with you, and I will take you out with me when I come back." ”
After saying that, Chen Li'an went out, and everyone in the detention room looked at his back with a hint of admiration.
In an interrogation room, Chen Li'an met with a lawyer, and the accompanying doctor wanted to treat Chen Li'an's wounds, but Chen Li'an refused.
Joke! It has to be so miserable, otherwise how can it set off the cruelty of those people!
At Chen Li'an's request, the doctor went out, and only Chen Li'an and the lawyer were left in the room.
More than 20 minutes later, the lawyer came out, came to Ji Fa and whispered a few words to her, and then left the police station.
Chen Li'an also returned to the detention room at this time, and chatted with those people again, as if he had come for a vacation and not been arrested.
Although there is nothing to do inside the police station for the time being, there is already a lot of noise outside, there are many more people on the streets of London tonight, and the police officers in all London have canceled their vacations tonight.
Yes. London is really going to turn into Gotham.
