Che Linwan had never had such an experience.
I don’t know what’s going on with Xia Mingzhi.
The two of them were separated.
After being forcibly arrested, they carefully asked to see each other's identification.
The other party is the real national police, and they are qualified to arrest and even deport them.
The person in charge of searching Che Linwan was a tall French woman.
The strong scent of perfume on her body still couldn't cover up her own smell.
The curses in his mouth should be in French, but unfortunately Che Linwan couldn't understand a word of it.
The other party can all speak fluent English, but their accents are very Chinese, so you have to listen very carefully.
However, after a body search, it was determined that neither of them was carrying even a fruit knife, and they gradually became more relaxed.
Even in the police car, the French woman sitting in front handed Che Linwan a piece of chewing gum.
After walking through the long corridor, he entered a room with nothing but tables and chairs, like an interrogation room.
“Tea starts with coffee?”
"What."
"Would you like tea or coffee?"
"Mineral water is fine."
Soon a dark-looking, chocolate-colored young man walked in, not wearing a uniform.
Give her a cup of steaming water in a paper cup.
"Give."
"Thanks."
"This water is hot!"
Che Linwan looked at him suspiciously, thinking that she could understand the steam coming from the water glass.
"Those people don't care about human rights. I asked if I should buy a bottle of mineral water. They said no!"
The young man spoke English very quickly, and he jumped out each word like a radish spitting out grapes.
There are one or two French words mixed in with the English.
When Che Linwan couldn't understand, she guessed that he must have started speaking French.
The central idea he expressed was that these bailiffs did not respect human rights. Che Linwan should accuse them of abusing and violently abusing foreign criminals!
When Che Linwan heard the word "criminal", he looked at him in surprise. He obviously didn't realize what he said.
Soon a male police officer carrying a voice recorder and notebook came in, slapped the young man on the back before sending him out.
Apparently the record required that two or more police officers must be present, so the male police officer was still waiting for his colleague.
He glanced at the steaming glass of water in front of Che Linwan and frowned, but said nothing.
When the two police officers arrived, the questioning began.
What is your name
from where
What is the nationality
What's the purpose of coming
How long did you stay
How long do you plan to stay
Where to stay during…
After a series of repeated interrogations, the key question was finally asked.
What is the relationship with Mr. Tong Hai
teachers and students.
Why were you asked to examine Tong Hai’s body
Che Linwan hesitated for a moment, because he was not sure what Xia Mingzhi would say, so he decided to tell the truth.
It was entrusted by the deceased's daughter.
What kind of work do you do in the country
Forensic medicine.
After hearing this, the other party stared at her with obvious curiosity for a long time.
Then she was sent to the detention room by another policewoman whom she had never seen before.
"Excuse me, may I ask my friend..."
"Mr. Xia Mingzhi?"
"Yes. How is he?"
The other party asked full of gossip, "Are they husband and wife?"
"no."
"Are they a couple?"
Although I didn't know what the other end would answer, I decided to take a reserved and safe approach for the time being, "No, it's not."
"It's always friends, right? Why else would we travel together?"
"They are friends. They are also former colleagues."
"We must have slept together!"
"..." Che Linwan took a breath and finally decided not to speak. Anyway, we are outside the interrogation room now.
The questions they asked were irrelevant to the case.
The detention room was obviously for female prisoners.
Che Linwan was a little nervous before going in. The female prisoners in the prison were all very irritable.
But after entering, I was relieved. There were not many people, only three people in total.
Two of them were small and skinny, and the tallest and strongest one was pregnant.
Both of them squatted in the corner, watching her warily.
The pregnant one was sitting on a bench fixed to the wall, which was very uncomfortable.
No one else was planning to speak, so Che Linwan himself found a corner and was about to squat down.
"Come and sit." The pregnant woman spoke directly.
Maybe it was because she was not a local and she spoke very poor English.
So Che Linwan walked over silently with the mood of not causing trouble and not offending them.
As soon as she reached the bench, the pregnant woman grabbed her.
Che Linwan was startled, but the other party just pulled her and sat down.
Then he lay on his side and rested his head directly on her legs.
It turns out that there is one missing human flesh pillow...
"They all just came in. They are not clean. My child is clean."
The pregnant woman touched her belly.
No wonder they were squatting in the corner, Che Linwan vaguely understood.
As expected, status here is determined by strength. This woman has the strongest body, so she is the boss here.
She wouldn't let the other two people sit, so those two people couldn't do it.
Even being pregnant can't stop a woman from being powerful.
When it was used as a human pillow, Che Linwan felt very uneasy.
She didn't know what she was about to face.
The accusation of murder is horrific.
Although she was sure that she was innocent, she was afraid that the police would frame her in order to solve the case.
There is still room for mediation in this kind of matter in China, but in other people's territory, I probably don't even have the opportunity to ask the consulate for help.
Try to communicate with the other person, they always use French for all the questions they don't want to answer.
Every second feels like a whole year has passed.
You don’t really want to go to jail in a strange place, do you
I once watched a program about a historian who was arrested and imprisoned due to an accident while working as a consultant abroad. After a year of inexplicable detention, the other party found him innocent. Finally released and returned to China.
Che Linwan simply couldn't believe what his life would be like if he were to be detained here for a year.
And there is also Xia Mingzhi.
He didn't do anything, just to visit her, and he ended up suffering such an unreasonable disaster.
"well… "
"Don't sigh! It's not good for my child." The lying pregnant woman turned over, obviously not really asleep. "Why did you come in?"
"I didn't kill anyone!"
The pregnant woman giggled, "You don't look like you would kill anyone."
"I'm a forensic scientist."
"What?"
"Forensic doctor..." She tried to explain what forensic medicine was, but in the end the other party could only understand it as much as a doctor.
"Doctors are the best. They know how to prolong death."
"I didn't... Sigh." What's the use of explaining to her.
There were only lights lighting up the room, so I couldn't tell what time it was.
I don’t know how long it took for someone to come in and stuff the plates.
"Ready to eat." The pregnant woman told her.
Che Linwan is not hungry at all. How long do I have to stay here? Did they notify the consulate? Will someone bail me out
If you need money for bail, who should you ask for it from
The consulate won't deny bail for this kind of thing, right
All in all, there are a lot of problems.
"Eat first." The pregnant woman almost ordered.
So Che Linwan stood up mechanically.
When she walked to the door, the police officer responsible for stuffing the plates glanced at her. Maybe there weren't many Asians here.
Then something flew to her.
It bounced directly on her calf.
But before Che Linwan could pick it up, it was picked up by a thin woman in the corner.
"Hey!" Che Linwan wanted to take it back, but the police officer had already thrown the plate in. So everyone walked over and grabbed a plate and held it in their hands.
After the police officers walked away, Che Linwan took the courage to walk up to the dark woman huddled in the corner, relying on the fact that there was a pregnant woman behind him.
"That seems to be for me."
"how do you know?"
Che Linwan was stunned.
The first thing she thought of might be the note brought by Xia Mingzhi's trustee.
He should be doing better than her.
But you won’t know until you open it.
"Open it and take a look." If it is Xia Mingzhi, it must be written in Chinese. You can tell at a glance.
"don't want."
! ! ! S**? !
