Chapter 18: Is it a crime for people who love each other to not be able to say each other's names?

"I haven't touched a member of the opposite sex in a long time. I went out to buy gold at night, and the salesgirl accidentally touched my hand, which threw me into a total panic, so I ran back. Sigh."

"Is this the damn reason for your robbery and molestation?"

"It's like this. When I was staying at a hotel, a small note was slipped under the door crack. It said, 'Duck, 100 per session, strong and sturdy, guaranteed to last at least an hour, if the time isn't enough, I'll pay you back 400'."

"I thought it was a pretty good deal at the time, so I called him over. As a result, that loser finished in five minutes and threw 400 yuan at me, and then you guys came in."

"So you really can't convict me as a seller! I'm the buyer. Give me some face, just detain me for a few days to make a point, alright?"

"Listen to me explain, I'm a second-hand phone buyer. How was I supposed to know the customer would send me a hotel location? But there's money to be made, so I definitely had to go. Buying phones involves haggling, back and forth, and we both ended up sweating, so we definitely had to take a shower. As for the transfer records on the phone you mentioned, that's just money for buying the phones."

*Guardian of Jiefang West* is truly a documentary. Lin Li was greatly shocked listening to the conversations coming from several interrogation rooms.

This place really was full of talent; everyone spoke so well. It was worthy of being a "young Longchang" where one could attain enlightenment.

There were a bit too many people arrested tonight, and coupled with other cases that needed handling, the interrogation rooms were running short.

But fortunately, perhaps because he was the only minor, even though the car he rode in wasn't the first to arrive, he successfully cut the line and was interrogated ahead of time.

His chair was the classic stainless steel interrogation stool. Yang Liang was a good comrade; just as he had said "Uncle," he had taken the initiative to equip him with leg shackles as well.

Lin Li felt that there was already a bond between them—perhaps if he patted Uncle Yang's butt, he would know what pose to strike.

"Is there a need to put handcuffs and leg shackles on this kid?" Interrogation requirements state at least two Demon Suppressors must be present, so another Demon Suppressor, who seemed to have a higher rank than Yang Liang, was also here. He looked at Lin Li's handcuffs and looked at Yang Liang with some confusion.

"This little beast begged me to cuff him." Yang Liang gave a heavy snort, expressing his irritation.

The other Demon Suppressor: "?"

"This little brat's brain is probably broken. A minor plus mental illness—damn, he's got the full stack of buffs. I don't even want to interrogate him; just call his family to come pick him up," Yang Liang said with a look of bad luck.

"It's not that simple. I'm actually a transgenderist. My biological sex is male, my psychological sex is female, but because I suffer from cross-dressing fetishism, I still wear men's clothes, and I have homosexuality, so I like women. Also, I am a mixed-race of Jewish and Black, but because I suffer from a rare form of albinism and genetic mutation, I look like a local..."

Lin Li raised his hands at this moment and began to chant.

"Foreign buffs don't work here. Shut up." Yang Liang was already very practiced at telling Lin Li to shut up. After saying this, he looked at the Demon Suppressor next to him, "See? I told you he was a psycho, right?"

The Demon Suppressor rubbed his temples with a headache and nodded.

"I think calling someone a psycho to their face is very impolite behavior." Lin Li stood up for himself.

"Yang Liang, you're right. Hurry up and finish the process; let his family come and take him away." The Demon Suppressor nodded even more vigorously.

"I know. Start the interrogation! We ask, you answer." Yang Liang nodded, then looked at Lin Li and slammed the table hard.

"Just because two people who love each other can't call out each other's names, do they have to be interrogated?" Lin Li took the initiative.

Yang Liang: "..."

Interrogation is such a hassle.

He wanted to use the "Great Memory Recovery Technique."

As everyone knows, the country he is in has been known as a land of etiquette since ancient times.

Then it should be even more of a "bang! bang! bang!" with fists!

"Alright, two uncles, I've experienced everything I needed to experience. It's time to reveal my identity. No more pretending, I'm showing my cards," Lin Li paused slightly, his smile mysterious: "I'm one of your own. I'm an undercover agent."

The other Demon Suppressor: "He really is a psycho."

Yang Liang: "I told you."

Lin Li: "I'm not!"

The other Demon Suppressor: "Trying to get information out of him probably isn't realistic. When you caught him, did he have any ID?"

Yang Liang: "Didn't see an ID card, but he has a phone. Let's go check the phone." Lin Li: "Can you acknowledge me?"

The other Demon Suppressor: "If you have that, why didn't you say so earlier? I thought it was just this person."

Yang Liang: "Then let's go."

The other Demon Suppressor: "Mm."

Lin Li: "I'm a woman. Hello, hello, I'm a woman. Did that not send? I'm a woman."

"..."

The two people carried on their conversation with extreme indifference, never looking at Lin Li from start to finish, and prepared to get up and leave.

A bit disrespectful.

Seeing that the two Demon Suppressors were about to leave, Lin Li hurriedly explained: "No! Two uncles, I really am an undercover agent! If you round it up, I'm the one who led this operation! The reason you carried out this operation tonight is because you received a tip-off call, right?

That tip-off call was made by me! My name is Lin Li, and the last four digits of my phone number are 9749. You can definitely match that!"

Lin Li's statement immediately made both Demon Suppressors look at him. The three of them stared at each other in silence for a while, and then Yang Liang widened his eyes and cracked his voice:

"You're the... not-so-normal informant the main station mentioned?"

=9+Shu_Ba

Lin Li: "..."

"Brain-dead"—they wanted to say "brain-dead" just now, right?

Your main station curses so dirtily.

"It's not me, I'm not brain-dead, I'm very normal." Lin Li shook his head, then coaxed them:

"Your main station should have also mentioned another normal, great, caring, and admirable informant, right? That one is me."

The three of them stared at each other in silence again.

"It's definitely him."

"If this damn kid is the one who tipped us off, I can understand it. It's something he would do." Yang Liang suddenly laughed with relief, turned his head, and nodded to his colleague, "No wonder I didn't see anyone take the initiative to find me at the scene. It turns out it was this kid."

"Then I'll leave him to you. I'm going to help the others; we're too short-handed here tonight." The other Demon Suppressor's expression was also somewhat amused and helpless as he stood up.

"Good."

"Although you are the informant, due to regulations, we can't just let you go. We still need you to cooperate with me to make a statement. Let's go, come with me to the office." Yang Liang walked up, prepared to undo Lin Li's handcuffs and leg shackles, and looked up with a premonition:

"No, the interrogation rooms are very tight tonight. Many people are queuing up to use them; we can't just take a statement like this."

Lin Li widened his eyes, swallowing the "Uncle" he was about to say.

He had actually been predicted.

Without him patting his butt, Uncle Yang already knew the pose he wanted?

However, Lin Li immediately nodded. Experience is experience, but there was no need to cause trouble for others. Besides, he could be considered to have sat in the interrogation chair; he only sought to have once possessed it, not to have it forever.

This thing isn't meant to last long anyway.

Restored to freedom, Lin Li stretched, then followed Yang Liang to the office and got his phone back.

Lin Li unlocked his phone and showed his call records, confirming his identity as the informant.

"Damn it, I don't even know how I should start this statement. I've been a police officer for so long, and you're the first one like this I've ever seen." After sitting down, Yang Liang held his head in his hands, laughing and crying, leaned back, and then said gently:

"Little Lin, is there anything you want to say yourself first?"

The Demon Suppressor's attitude toward him had changed significantly.

Arrogant at first, then respectful later—it makes one laugh to think about it.

This idiom doesn't seem to be used like that, but whatever, it's not important.

Lin Li nodded and then expressed his opinion:

"Before my lawyer arrives, I won't say a single word."

Yang Liang: "?"
