A thin, silvery-white metallic strap ran through the fingers and wrists, binding the hands.

Lin Shuxuan felt unbearable soreness and numbness as soon as he raised his arm slightly; the stool he was sitting on had no backrest and could only be supported by the narrow table in front of him.

The table was extremely narrow; one could see two security guards across from you just by looking up; their gray uniforms were impeccably tailored.

One of them, with a buzz cut, was the arrogant security guard who had handled the case at the entrance of the community earlier; he looked calm and smiled as he flipped through the notebook in his hand.

He said without even raising his eyelids:

"I think you know very well what you've done. The punishment isn't severe; you'll be detained for fourteen days."

Fourteen days... Lin Shuxuan's heart tightened; the consequences were far more serious than he had imagined. He had seen similar posts before, but he had never heard of the Public Security Bureau detaining citizens for this.

At most, you can add "fictional interpretation".

He needed to switch to a military-related major, and he had finally saved up enough money. It would be such a pity if he missed the deadline for switching majors due to detention.

"Sir, if a son is not properly taught, it is the mother's fault. I am not yet eighteen years old. Can you detain my aunt?"

If we can detain my aunt, not only will our current predicament be resolved, but we can also easily switch to martial arts training, which is a win-win situation.

Unfortunately, the two security guards ignored his suggestion. The man with the buzz cut didn't even change his expression, still smiling as he looked at the notes in his hand. Lin Shuxuan felt helpless and said in a deep voice:

"I request to speak with a lawyer."

The man with the buzz cut then looked up, leaned back in his chair, and stared at Lin Shuxuan with a half-smile.

"You actually have the money to hire a lawyer?"

He turned to face his colleagues.

"You didn't see their house, the furniture was broken, and the leftover food was almost spoiled and they still left it on the table."

Lin Shuxuan clenched his fist, the restraints pressing on his swollen blood vessels and causing a noticeable stinging pain.

He was about to speak when a ray of sunlight hit his face.

The interrogation room door was pushed open halfway, and a woman with a hot figure stepped in, the sunlight outlining a full silhouette on her chest.

Once my pupils adjusted to the bright light, a pretty face came into view.

The mature woman who entered had long, slightly brown, wavy hair, delicate features, exquisite makeup, and large, watery eyes that were scrutinizing Lin Shuxuan.

The white shirt was puffed up, the hem tucked into the jeans, and a pair of over-the-knee boots accentuated the long, shapely thighs.

Even with heavy dark circles under her eyes, she is still a striking beauty.

"Captain Yu."

The man with the buzz cut stopped smiling, stood up, and greeted her.

"How's the trial going?"

Yu Xin picked up the notebook on the table. Her fingers, adorned with brown manicures, were long and slender. She pulled up a chair and sat down.

"The chain of evidence is complete, we have handled it, and the person will be detained for fourteen days."

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Isn't that unnecessary, Fang Cheng? I remember that similar cases only require rectification."

"Why didn't you wait for me to make a judgment?"

The man with the buzz cut, Fang Cheng, remained composed and straightened his collar, saying:

"The series of cases has already caused widespread panic, and the reaction to this post is extremely negative. With the big exam approaching, the director and the mayor have specifically called us to take this seriously. Captain Yu, you should understand."

He emphasized the word "understand".

Yu Xin opened her rosy lips but did not speak.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room became somewhat oppressive.

It seems these two security guards don't get along... Lin Shuxuan deduced the whole story from Fang Cheng's words.

The murder that occurred in his residential community was not an isolated incident, but part of a series of cases. The case remained unsolved for a long time, and with the joint entrance examination approaching, the higher-ups in Xinhai City lost patience and put pressure on the Public Security Bureau.

He just happened to run into bad luck.

Thinking of this, his heart sank to the bottom; he was afraid he would have a hard time getting out of there today.

Yu Xin's delicate face was as cold as frost as she pondered for a moment.

"You can detain him for six months and the case still won't be solved. I'm the captain; if the higher-ups ask, I'll take the blame. Release him!"

Upon hearing this, the man with the buzz cut, Fang Cheng, remained motionless.

"I have already explained the pros and cons, but Captain Yu insists on doing so, so please do it yourself."

He turned to face another security officer present.

"Gao Yang, you must be my witness."

Yu Xin's face turned ashen with anger. She walked to Lin Shuxuan's side and untied his restraints.

The brown nail polish brushed across my arm, sending a tingling sensation through me.

"I'm sorry, my colleagues have been a bit sensitive lately; if I had known they were being so radical, I would have followed them this morning."

The rich aroma was intoxicating. Lin Shuxuan stretched his sore arms and felt much more at ease.

There seems to be room for explanation.

During his previous interrogation, Fang Cheng acted as if he were deaf, spending an hour just talking to himself and posing.

Although Yu Xin appears to be being bullied in the workplace, her words still carry weight.

"So what exactly does the police want with me?"

"This isn't the right place, let's go outside and talk."

As he pushed open the door to the interrogation room, the warm sunlight made him squint.

After passing through the corridor, we arrived at a bustling hall.

Sunlight streams through the translucent glass curtain wall, lush green plants, and brightly colored sofas, bringing the lobby to life.

Compared to the security guards' office, this place is more like the living area of ​​a shopping mall from my previous life.

Yu Xin led Lin Shuxuan to a sofa and sat down; her plump thighs pressed down, leaving a dent.

"What would you like to drink? It's on me."

"The most expensive."

Yu Xin rolled her eyes and started fiddling with her phone.

Before long, a cup of coffee and a bottle of wine were brought to their table.

Yu Xin took a small sip of her coffee, and her tired face regained some of its radiance.

"A fine vintage from He Ning City, the most expensive drink here."

Lin Shuxuan watched as the red wine in front of him reflected a jewel-like brilliance in the sunlight, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol...

The wavy-haired mature woman glanced at him.

"You don't need to emphasize this identity to me. We don't intend to detain you, and of course, we won't detain your aunt either."

That's a pity... Lin Shuxuan thought to himself with regret.

"Consider this bottle of wine an apology from the police station; you can take it with you later."

"This is too valuable, I cannot accept it."

As Lin Shuxuan spoke, he tucked the red wine into his pocket. The wineries in He Ning City were renowned, and their vintage wines could often fetch prices as high as five or six thousand yuan.

It's quite a luxury for ordinary families.

"Yesterday's case was part of a series of cases; this is the fifth one, including the one near your neighborhood."

"The bureau chief and the municipal government are both very anxious, and the pressure has been passed down to my two subordinates, who are both quite agitated."

Don't blame them.

Lin Shuxuan rubbed the wine in his pocket with his fingertips, as the saying goes, "He who takes a man's gift is bound to be obligated to him."

"I understand, I was wrong too."

Seeing Lin Shuxuan cooperate, the wavy-haired mature woman breathed a sigh of relief and put down her coffee.

"That post needs to be tagged with 'fictional'."

"Furthermore, you can no longer promote this post in any way."

"You should have seen the comments; we can't handle those rumors."

Indeed... Lin Shuxuan nodded secretly. Anyway, he had already saved enough for the tuition and fees for switching martial arts, so deleting that post wouldn't be a problem. Now that he had also gotten a bottle of expensive red wine, he couldn't lose out no matter what.

"No problem, is there anything else?"

"There are still some, but they have nothing to do with the police."

Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, then said:

Let's exchange contact information first.

Lin Shuxuan readily agreed. The security guard in front of him seemed easy to talk to. If he could make contact with him, he wouldn't be completely helpless when encountering people like Fang Cheng in the future.

After exchanging numbers, Yu Xin crossed her legs, her plump thighs overlapping.

"Don't post these kinds of things at night anymore, they might scare people."

"You're not talking about yourself, are you...?" Lin Shuxuan stared thoughtfully at Yu Xin's dark circles.

Once the topic shifted away from business, the wavy-haired, mature woman's expression became much more lively, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"It was a friend of mine who was scared, not me. She even asked me to ask you if you have any similar stories, and to send them to me privately so I can pass them on to her. They're not scary during the day."

This friend must have a slim waist, long legs, and big brown waves... Lin Shuxuan didn't voice his guess, afraid that Yu Xin would get impatient and drag him back.

"I haven't decided yet."

Lin Shuxuan answered truthfully that he didn't remember many horror movies from his previous life.

"Updates are so slow..."

The beautiful, mature woman muttered to herself.

"What?"

"It's nothing...that's all the questions. You can go back now. Do you need a ride?"

"Thank you, sir, but no need, I have an appointment with a friend."

Watching Lin Shuxuan leave, Yu Xin rubbed her temples.

Thinking of her two troublesome subordinates and the pressure from the municipal government, she felt a throbbing pain in her head.

"How should we solve this case?"
