After saying that, he strode to the cabinet in the corner, opened the drawer, and took out a black electric baton with a cold metallic glow.
"Fuck-"
He pressed the switch, and a blue arc of electricity jumped on the top of the electric baton, making a harsh sound. The air in the interrogation room was ionized and became scorched.
Chen Hai's heart skipped a beat.
He looked at the crazy fire burning in Hou Liangping's eyes, then looked at the man on the interrogation chair who was still looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, like an old monk in meditation. A chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
No!
Absolutely not!
"Liangping, don't be impulsive!"
Chen Hai hurried forward and tried to grab his wrist.
"Go away!"
Hou Liangping simply refused to listen to any advice at this time.
At this moment, a rapid ring of a cell phone broke the tense atmosphere.
It’s Hou Liangping’s cell phone.
He took out his phone irritably and glanced at the caller ID:
——Zhong Xiaoai.
The violence in his eyes subsided slightly, but the anger on his face remained.
He casually shoved the still-sizzling electric baton into Chen Hai's hand, pointed at Zhao Yuanchao with his chin, and ordered, "This old fellow is dishonest and stubborn! Shock him! Let him know what the rules are!"
Chen Hai held the cold and heavy electric baton in his hand, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
Electric shock him?
Who to call?
Dian, this man who exudes weirdness and danger from head to toe?
Hou Liangping ignored it and opened the heavy iron door of the interrogation room and walked out, leaving Chen Hai and the fatal order in this suffocating room.
With a "bang", the door was slammed shut.
The interrogation room fell into dead silence again.
Chen Hai's eyes uncontrollably met the man on the interrogation chair.
Zhao Yuanchao finally opened his eyes, and his bottomless eyes calmly looked at Chen Hai and the electric baton in his hand that was still buzzing.
There was no fear, no anger, not even any ripples in his eyes.
It was a pure, cold scrutiny.
Chen Hai felt as if he was being seen through from inside out by the other person's gaze.
The electric baton in his hand looked extremely funny and ridiculous at this moment.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but no sound came out.
Time was stretched out at this moment.
Chen Hai's mind was blank, with only Hou Liangping's words "Give me a call" echoing wildly.
He can't get electricity.
He dare not.
A fear that came from biological instinct left him without the strength to even raise his arms.
Outside the interrogation room, the lights in the corridor were dim.
Hou Liangping leaned against the cold wall and answered the phone, his tone still filled with anger: "Hello?"
"Ryohei! Something big happened!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhong Xiaoai's voice was fast and urgent, with an unprecedented panic, "The 20th Army is going to take over Handong!"
"I know, didn't you tell me that?"
Hou Liangping frowned impatiently, his mind still on the stubborn old man in the interrogation room. "Isn't it just a military exercise that escalated into military control? It's no big deal."
"No! This time is completely different!"
Zhong Xiaoai's voice was a little off. "Liangping, listen to me! The commander of the 20th Army, Zhao Yuanchao, was attacked in Jinghai and has been out of contact for almost 24 hours!"
"The 20th Army's Chief of Staff, Zhou Shoujing, has arrived in Handong with his men. From now on, the entire Handong Province is under the highest level of military blockade! Aviation, rail, and road traffic are all under control! You...you must not let anything go wrong!"
"Attack? Lost contact?"
Hou Liangping was stunned for a moment, then sneered. He felt that his wife's worries were unnecessary.
The commander was attacked?
How could such a thing happen in this day and age?
It is probably a smokescreen released by the military for certain actions.
"Don't worry, Xiao Ai,"
His tone regained its composure. "What could possibly go wrong here? Secretary Sha Ruijin will be here soon. I've caught a huge fish! I was just worried about how to pry his mouth open."
He lowered his voice, excitedly asking for credit, "In a few days, I'll give you a huge surprise! Just wait and see the news!"
Zhong Xiaoai on the other end of the phone wanted to say something, but Hou Liangping was too impatient to listen anymore.
"Okay, okay, I'm busy here, I'm hanging up first."
The army commander was attacked and a military blockade was launched...
In his opinion, these earth-shaking events were far less real than the vice-state-level corrupt official he had caught with his own hands.
As long as we can pry open this man's mouth, Hou Liangping will be the number one hero in Handong's anti-corruption efforts!
By that time, people like Li Dakang and Gao Yuliang will be inferior to him.
Military blockade?
That's better!
Trap everyone in Handong, not even a fly can fly out, making it convenient for him to close the door and beat the dog!
Thinking of this, the corners of Hou Liangping's mouth rose uncontrollably, and his anger disappeared in an instant, replaced by the ecstasy of a hunter seeing his prey caught.
Hou Liangping didn't give Zhong Xiaoai any chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
He put away his phone, hummed triumphantly, turned around and pushed open the door of the interrogation room, ready to appreciate for himself what a wonderful scene it would be when the electricity passed through that hard bone.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, the scene before him stunned him.
There was dead silence in the interrogation room.
Chen Hai stood stiffly, holding the electric baton in his hand, but his arms hung limply.
His face was paler than the wall outside, his forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat, his eyes were dull and he looked lost.
And on the interrogation chair, the man, the man who ordered Chen Hai to "serve him well", had opened his eyes at some point.
He didn't look at Hou Liangping, nor did he even look at Chen Hai who was so close to him.
His gaze fell on the black electric baton. His eyes were calm, but with a majesty that could see through everything.
He spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but it stirred up a storm in the silent room.
"I've seen this thing before."
Zhao Yuanchao's tone was very flat, as if he was stating a trivial matter.
"Thirty years ago, we captured a batch in the rain forests of southern Xinjiang. The enemy used it against our prisoners."
He paused, and his eyes finally moved away from the electric baton, slowly falling on Chen Hai's pale face.
"Later, we buried alive all those who had this thing."
The electric baton in Chen Hai's hand fell to the ground with a bang, making a harsh sound.
His legs went weak and he almost collapsed.
That's not a threat, that's a statement.
It is an indifference to life and death that is engraved in the bones after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire.
The murderous aura that crawled out from the sea of corpses and blood was invisible and intangible, but it was more frightening than any physical attack.
Hou Liangping was also confused by this sudden scene. He looked at the distraught Chen Hai, then at the calm Zhao Yuanchao, and the anger in his heart was ignited again.
"Who the hell are you trying to scare?"
Chapter 30 Blockade
Hou Liangping rushed forward, picked up the electric baton on the ground, and pointed it at Zhao Yuanchao again. "Southern Xinjiang? Buried alive? You're just a corrupt official, pretending to be a special forces soldier! Old Chen, what are you afraid of? Hold him down!"
However, Chen Hai did not hear his words. His lips trembled and he could not say a word.
He was not afraid, he was seized by a fear from the depths of his soul.
He finally remembered.
That look, that sitting posture, that aura that remains unshakable even though he is imprisoned.
He saw him once on the rostrum when he accompanied Chief Prosecutor Ji Changming to a meeting at the Provincial Military Region.
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he would never forget the aura of looking down on the world.
This person in front of me...
This person, whom Hou Liangping considered a corrupt official and was about to punish with an electric baton...
A name that made him feel cold all over and almost stop breathing when he thought of it, surged up from the depths of Chen Hai's throat.
He wanted to shout, to tell Hou Liangping if they had arrested the wrong person, if they had arrested someone who no one should mess with!
However, his throat was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he could not make any sound.
They could only watch Hou Liangping, the ignorant and fearless "good son-in-law", grinning and pressing the switch of the electric baton.
