Chapter 77

Hu Meier's speech undoubtedly turned the entire scene around once again. Zhan Yi was also taken aback and turned to look at Hu Meier; he hadn't expected that she would stand up to testify for him at this moment.

The director Liu felt the change in the surrounding gazes and his face turned grim again. Hu Meier's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face to him in front of everyone. His plan to continue tarnishing Zhan Yi's reputation had to be temporarily put on hold because he knew that if he continued, it would eventually provoke public anger, making the situation even more difficult to handle.

So, after a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Hu Meier, saying, "This student, can you really prove that Zhan Yi didn't kill anyone last night?"

"Of course, I can guarantee with 100% certainty that he absolutely did not kill anyone last night. Moreover, I believe that our schoolmates also don't think Zhan Yi would kill anyone. You just said that he not only fought but also killed an innocent citizen. Is he Superman? If it really was him, why would he be here now? Most importantly, Mr. Police Officer, you haven't thoroughly investigated the matter before accusing a student. This seems very unfair. Have you considered how much such an accusation can harm a student? Imagine if you were wrongly accused, how would you feel?" Hu Meier spoke very firmly, not forgetting to rally the surrounding teachers and students.

This immediately made the teachers and students around her change their minds. Soon, everyone began to respond, "That's right, it's too impossible."

"Too dark, announcing a crime without even questioning the person involved, this is clearly a setup."

"Definitely did it for someone else's benefit."

As the emotions of the teachers and students grew more intense, the pressure on Director Liu and the police officers also increased. Especially when he noticed that some students were filming the scene with their phones, he quickly changed his expression and said sternly, "Students, you must remain calm. We are doing this because there is indeed a witness who reported Zhan Yi. You must believe that the police are fair. We will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a criminal go unpunished!"

Zhan Yi knew that things were going well. He had already arranged for Dong Dabao to film the entire process and send it online as soon as possible. So, he gave Hu Meier a grateful look and then stood up, saying very calmly, "Students, remember what Director Liu just said. I am innocent and will not be wronged."

"Yes, everyone must believe us. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and will not let a criminal go unpunished!" Director Liu spoke again, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer. As he spoke, he gave a signal to the police officer next to Zhan Yi.

The police officers, upon receiving the signal from Director Liu, quickly came over and put handcuffs on Zhan Yi.

"Mr. Police Officer, you haven't determined whether I committed a crime, so why are you putting handcuffs on me? Hehe," Zhan Yi said calmly but did not resist.

"Zhan Yi, you are now a criminal suspect. Temporarily putting handcuffs on you is a normal legal procedure. I suggest you understand this," Director Liu said sternly, then waved for a few police officers to take Zhan Yi to the police car.

Zhan Yi smiled at the crowd below as he got into the car and said loudly, "Goodbye, everyone. Remember to check the news about me online. I'll be back soon, ha ha..."

Director Liu's body trembled when he heard this. He then turned to look at the students, and when he saw many of them holding up their phones, he huffed and got into the car and left.

Zhan Yi was quickly taken to the N City Public Security Bureau and then escorted into the interrogation room. He sat on a single chair, with Director Liu and four police officers sitting opposite him.

After a short while, Director Liu slowly opened a file and, putting on a very righteous appearance, asked Zhan Yi, "Name?"

"Zhao Guang," Zhan Yi answered with a meaningful tone.

"Zhan Yi, what do you mean? Please cooperate with our interrogation," Director Liu said, his eyes widening.

"Haha, you already called me by my name, so why ask? Don't you feel tired, Director Liu?" Zhan Yi countered.

"You... If you continue to argue, don't blame us for taking action," Director Liu said, his anger rising.

"Sure, anyway, the entire process of you bringing me here has already been uploaded to the internet. I believe it won't be long before the whole of N City knows. If I tell everyone about your mistreatment of me, what do you think they will think? Hehe..." Zhan Yi couldn't help but laugh at Director Liu's angry and frustrated expression.

"Who said I would mistreat you, Zhan Yi? Now, tell us what you did after school last night," Director Liu said, feeling both angry and helpless. He quickly resumed his normal interrogation posture.

"Last night, it was a truly romantic night. After school, I first went to the toilet to urinate, then I wanted to go out with my girlfriend to enjoy the night view of N City. But just as my girlfriend and I left the school gate, another girl found me. They both wanted to talk about their feelings and make me choose. Sigh... Director Liu, you saw it just now, they are both so beautiful, I was really in a difficult position. What would you do if you were in my shoes?" Zhan Yi said with a look of deep reflection, as if he were not being interrogated but seeking advice from a psychologist.

"Hum... Zhan Yi, please cooperate with the interrogation. This is not a place to talk about your feelings. I asked what you did after school last night," Director Liu said angrily, feeling that he was about to lose his patience. Zhan Yi was being too arrogant, and the police officers next to him were barely holding back their laughter.

"That's right, this is an interrogation. How could I forget? But Director Liu, you haven't determined my guilt yet, so how can you call it an interrogation? It should be called cooperation in an investigation, right? And I think it's a bit excessive to handcuff me like this," Zhan Yi said, feigning a sudden realization.

He wasn't worried about the interrogation at all because he had already discussed a plan with Hu Meier and Mai to act out a scene of two women fighting over him at the school gate.

"Zhan Yi, don't argue. There is already a victim who reported that you killed someone. We have the right to interrogate you. Quickly, tell us what you did last night," Director Liu said coldly.

"Oh, it seems you've received a lot of money from the Zhao family. Let me tell you what happened. The two girls and I agreed to talk at my place. We had some drinks and a meal. After all, even if we don't get along, we should part amicably. But we talked until past one in the morning without reaching any conclusion. In the end, I had to go to bed with my girlfriend, and the other girl also stayed at our place. You see, relationship issues are really complicated," Zhan Yi said with a look of difficulty.

"Zhan Yi, you are just making things up. Someone clearly saw you fighting and killing an innocent citizen on the street last night. You say you've never fought before. It seems we need to bring in the witness to make you confess. Bring the witness," Director Liu said with a cold laugh.
