At the police station, Wang Xiaoming and He Qian conducted rational questioning, while Liu Zhongze was taken to a separate interrogation room where his hands and feet were handcuffed, and no one paid him any attention.

Outside the interrogation room, two police officers were busy running around. One was searching for information on an internal computer, while the other was posting Liu Zhongze's photo in various groups, asking if they had seen him on a wanted list recently, or if they knew if he had committed any crimes in the past.

Liu Zhongze was very curious about the interior of the interrogation room. In his memory, police stations shouldn't look like this. Back when he watched TV in shop windows outside Hong Kong, the prison cells on TV were small and dark, and there were no interrogation rooms, only small dark rooms.

To verify whether what was said on TV was accurate, Liu Zhongze even took a second look inside the Hong Kong Police Station as he passed by.

Upon closer inspection, he saw an assistant to a Hong Kong film mogul smiling as he handed a file folder to an obese policeman.

Based on the two men's actions and micro-expressions, Liu Zhongze could be certain that it was most likely bribery and accepting dirty money. Back then, Hong Kong had not yet returned to China, and such things were very common. Most people would have been numb and chosen not to see it.

Unlike Liu Zhongze, He Qian and Wang Xiaoming's identities have been verified, and it is known that they came to film a movie.

"That police officer..."

Wang Xiaoming had just said a word to the police officer at the front desk when he was met with a disdainful look. The officer didn't look any older than Wang Xiaoming.

He Qian pulled Wang Xiaoming aside and said, "Comrade, is there a problem with our colleague?"

The police officer looked serious and didn't say anything. Instead, he told them to wait, or they could go home if they couldn't wait.

As the time drew ever closer to three o'clock, the two paced anxiously back and forth in front of the police station.

Two other police officers outside Liu Zhongze were also in a similar hurry. They had just been transferred to the branch office and, because they had made a mistake during a previous arrest operation, they were paying extra attention when they saw suspicious persons.

"Feichi, have any of your colleagues replied to you yet?"

Police officer Zhang Feichi shook his head, raised his fist, and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if we can force this kid to reveal his background if we take action directly?"

Officer Guan Xiaozhe pressed down on his wrist and said, "We've already been transferred out of the criminal investigation team. If we can't even keep up at the precinct, we'll probably be suspended. Let's not mess around."

Guan Xiaozhe turned the computer screen around and placed it in front of Zhang Feichi. He said, "Judging from the clean background, he probably didn't know how to face the police, which led to the wrong judgment. Let's release him."

"Listen to you, buddy. Since there aren't any criminals here, I'll leave it to you. I'm going to find my little Qinqin. She's been messaging me every night lately; she must like me."

Guan Xiaozhe sneered and said, "Was that sending you messages? Wasn't that just pointing fingers and cursing at us for two nights in a row?"

"Sigh!" Zhang Feichi patted Guan Xiaozhe on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What do you know? A beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. Look, Xiaoqinqin comes to see the two of us every day, which proves that we are the most capable police officers in the branch."

Guan Xiaozhe shook his head helplessly, speechless at Zhang Feichi's explanation. He said, "It's because Liu Qin was implicated by us. Fortunately, she was just transferred to the branch office, not starting from the bottom like us."

"If Xiaoqinqin had to start from the bottom like us, I reckon she would kill us both."

Guan Xiaozhe shuddered: "That makes sense. I'd better go release them. If you like harassing Liu Qin, go ahead and harass her. At least her anger won't affect me. You can let your 'Little Qinqin' have some fun."

Zhang Feichi gestured with his chin toward Guan Xiaozhe, and just as he was about to take out a cigarette from his pocket, a pair of cold and beautiful eyes fixed on him.

The woman didn't speak, she just sat in the office, watching the commotion outside. When she saw Zhang Feichi preparing to smoke in the police station, her eyes almost flashed with murderous intent.

Zhang Feichi slowly put down the cigarettes, swayed as he pushed open the door: "Xiao Qinqin, I'm here~"

"Zhang Feichi, are we that close? Isn't this work time? What should you call me?"

"Captain~ I missed you~"

Liu Qin's lips twitched. She really didn't know what to do with this Living Buddha. She said coldly, "If you keep doing this, I'll send you to the Ministry of Transportation."

Zhang Feichi immediately gave a standard salute, his voice less frivolous, and stood up straight, saying, "Captain, Zhang Feichi is here to report for duty. Please feel free to give me any instructions."

Liu Qin slowly shook her head and sighed, "If you weren't so frivolous, you would actually be quite capable of catching criminals."

---

When Liu Zhongze saw Guan Xiaozhe push open the interrogation room door, he didn't say anything. After a short period of confusion, he gradually came to understand the difference between the two worlds.

He brought the responsible environment of Hong Kong in the 80s to the mainland in 2025. The two eras belong to two different worlds, and the rules of operation are completely different.

"Liu Zhongze, Mr. Liu, is that right? Explain why you ran away when you saw our police officers?"

When faced with difficult questions, Liu Zhongze would instinctively scratch his head, but with his hands and feet bound by handcuffs, he could only give an awkward smile and say, "I was in the hospital before, and my injuries were so severe that I still have some trouble distinguishing between reality and illusion."

Liu Zhongze chose to express the outside world's opinion that he had changed, as this was the best explanation for the difference between himself and his original self, Liu Zhongze.

Guan Xiaozhe nodded and asked a few more unrelated questions. When he came in, he had already thoroughly investigated Liu Zhongze's background and found that there was no situation where he suddenly disappeared at any point in time, meaning there was no time when he could have been involved in the crime.

The reason he still came in to pretend was because he was worried that if he was too rough with Liu Zhongze, Liu Zhongze would complain about him and Zhang Feichi, although the two of them were also being cautious.

"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. I need to verify the information you provided. I'll have it sorted out soon."

Guan Xiaozhe closed the door to the interrogation room, but did not leave. Instead, he stood at the door and watched Zhang Feichi being kicked out of the office.

Liu Qin seemed to have scolded him several times. As a result, the guy was a bit disheveled in the office, but as soon as he stepped out of the office, he reverted to his frivolous and unserious self.

Zhang Feichi nodded at him, gesturing for him to go outside for a smoke.

Guan Xiaozhe pointed to the interrogation room where Liu Zhongze was, indicating that the person inside had not yet come out.

Zhang Feichi walked up to Guan Xiaozhe, opened the door to the interrogation room, and muttered, "This is such a waste of time."

He walked towards Liu Zhongze, reaching into his pocket with his left hand to look for his keys: "We made a mistake and caused you trouble. We'll unlock it for you now, and you can go back right now."

Liu Zhongze maintained his professional smile and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing."

After the two policemen watched Liu Zhongze leave, Zhang Feichi boasted to Guan Xiaozhe again, "You made such a simple thing so complicated. A newbie still needs to learn more."

"Are you trying to get complaints about me every day? Do you think saying a few nice words will make so many people forgive you?"
