Chapter 2310

Although the white police officer couldn't understand Chinese, he could understand the English mixed in Ma Lan's Chinese.

He didn't expect Ma Lan to say she was his mother, which made him angry and ashamed. He immediately increased the strength of his knee and pressed it hard on Ma Lan.

Ma Lan only felt a sharp pain in her body, which made her almost unable to breathe. Then she heard a 'crack', and a more intense sharp pain struck. It turned out that one of her ribs was broken by the police officer!

At this moment, Ma Lan was sweating profusely from the pain, crying and shouting, "My rib is broken! My rib is broken! Help, I'm dying of pain..."

As she spoke, she looked at the female police officer and blurted out, "You tell him to stop, otherwise I will be crushed to death by him! Is this how you treat first-class passengers?!"

The female police officer said coldly, "This is the first time I've encountered a drug dealer like you. Do you think buying a first-class ticket is equivalent to having judicial immunity?!"

Ma Lan was stunned and asked, "What... what drug dealer?!"

The female police officer sneered, "Still pretending to be stupid here. Our customs personnel found more than 180 ounces, equivalent to more than 5,000 grams, of new synthetic contraband in one of the suitcases you checked in. Do you know that this high-end contraband is enough for you to sit in prison in the United States until you die?!"

"What?!" Ma Lan was scared out of her wits in an instant and blurted out, "This... how is this possible? I am a law-abiding citizen! How could there be contraband in my suitcase? I have never seen that kind of thing! I don't even know what that kind of thing looks like!"

After saying this, she suddenly thought of Zong Qiuhua, and her brain exploded with a 'buzz'.

Now, she finally woke up from her dream and clearly realized what kind of trap she had fallen into.

So, she blurted out in a complete breakdown, "I... I am wronged! I was framed and used by someone! It was that bastard named Zong Qiuhua who deceived me. You must investigate to the end and clear my name!"

At this very moment, Ma Lan realized what kind of shocking scam she had fallen into.

She knew that her luggage was packed by herself, and she knew exactly what was in it, and it hadn't been opened throughout the process, so it was absolutely impossible to have any contraband.

Since the police said that contraband was found in one of the two suitcases she checked in, it must be the suitcase that Zong Qiuhua asked her to help bring to Hong Kong!

Thinking of this, Ma Lan suddenly realized that Zong Qiuhua was not a successful female entrepreneur at all, and certainly not a distant relative of the beverage king. She was a complete liar! She acted in so many plays just to deceive her into helping her carry contraband out of the country!

Moreover, the police had already said that more than 5,000 grams of contraband were found in that suitcase. There was no doubt that if it were in the country, it would be enough to sentence her to death.

She was extremely regretful and scared, crying to the female police officer, "American police comrade... I was really deceived by someone. It was a woman named Zong Qiuhua who asked me to bring the suitcase to Hong Kong. I had no idea what was in the suitcase. I am innocent! You must be the master for me!"

The female police officer sneered and said, "How much reward did the other party promise you? You dare to do the thing of carrying luggage across borders for others?"

Ma Lan said hurriedly, "I didn't ask for a penny of reward. It was purely out of helping a friend..."

When she said this, Ma Lan was actually very guilty.

She knew very well that the reason she agreed to help Zong Qiuhua carry the luggage was nothing more than because Zong Qiuhua said she would give her a Lexus LM300 when she returned, and she would take her to Hong Kong to enjoy herself for a few days.

However, Ma Lan felt that these were verbal promises anyway, and she hadn't received a penny from that woman, so the police couldn't find any evidence.

The female police officer looked at Ma Lan with a bit of pity, and then, together with her colleagues, took Ma Lan to their police station next to the airport terminal.

Because Ma Lan had a broken rib, she was howling all the way, hoping to get treatment first, but the female police officer said, "It's just a broken rib, there's no need to go to the hospital at all. Our health doctor will come to give you a simple fixation in a while, and then you can take some oral anti-inflammatory drugs."

Ma Lan cried and shouted, "You are too lacking in humanitarian spirit?! I want to complain about you! Oh no! I want to sue you, I want to fight a lawsuit with you. If you don't compensate me 10 or 20 million US dollars, I won't finish with you!"

As she spoke, Ma Lan remembered one thing and said deliberately and loudly, "A few years ago, a Vietnamese-American was forcibly expelled on your plane. The internet said he was finally compensated 140 million US dollars!"

The female police officer said lightly, "First of all, the incident you mentioned was a dispute between the airline and the passenger, and what you are experiencing now is a criminal case of American police arresting transnational drug dealers. Given that you resisted arrest and had the intention to resist, law enforcement officers have the right to use force to arrest you;"

"Secondly, our entire law enforcement process was filmed by law enforcement recorders. If you have any objections to our law enforcement, you can raise questions to your lawyer. I believe your lawyer will give you the answer when the time comes."

Seeing that her broken rib couldn't scare this female police officer, Ma Lan realized that this matter must be very serious.

So her tone softened all of a sudden, and she asked with a sob, "Police comrade... I am really innocent... What can you do to prove my innocence?"

The other party said indifferently, "In this matter, the only way to prove you are innocent is to catch the other party, and the other party must personally admit that you were unaware of it, so as to prove that you are innocent. Otherwise, there is no way to prove your innocence. After all, this contraband was found in the luggage you checked in. If you cannot prove that you were unaware, then you cannot clear your suspicion!"

Ma Lan panicked and said hurriedly, "I have chat records with her. She has been playing me around. The chat records can prove my innocence!"

The female police officer shook her head, "If you could prove your innocence unilaterally just by relying on chat records, then this matter would be too simple. In the future, all drug dealers would forge a chat record and then swagger over to take a plane. If they succeed, they will make a big profit. If they fail, they will take out the chat records to say they are innocent. Wouldn't that mean they don't have to bear any risk? Do you think the law has so many loopholes for you to drill?"

When Ma Lan heard this, she said urgently, "Then what are you still doing here? Hurry up and catch that Zong Qiuhua!!! She didn't go far from the airport, and she won't be able to run out of New York for a while! As long as you catch her and interrogate her strictly, you will definitely be able to prove my innocence!"

The female police officer said coldly, "We don't need you to direct how we handle cases. Now we have to make a complete confession for you. If you have a lawyer, we can help you notify the lawyer. If you don't, we will assign one for you. You choose yourself."

Ma Lan blurted out, "I want to call my family, I want to call my daughter and son-in-law!"
