I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 165 I still like your rebellious look just now
The heating in the police station was turned on full blast, and as soon as I walked in, I felt a warm breath hitting me. Compared to the cold weather outside, it was like another world here.

Today seemed to be particularly busy, and everyone was dealing with their own affairs. From time to time, hurried footsteps and low voices of conversation could be heard in the corridor.

Chen Xi and others stood in the reception area, looking around, feeling a little at a loss.

Just then, a female police officer came over to receive them.

The policewoman seemed to be in a bad mood, probably because she was particularly busy at work today. Her light blonde hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead, making her look a little disheveled.

"What's the matter?" the policewoman asked softly.

Chen Xi stepped forward and said, "We came here because we were notified. Is there anything we can do to help you?"

The policewoman asked for his name, picked up the paper on the table and looked through it, then nodded: "We have caught a few suspects, and we need you to identify them."

"No problem." Chen Xi immediately agreed when he heard about this.

Soon, Chen Xi and others were called in one by one and began to cooperate with the police. Chen Xi sat on a chair in the hall, and his thoughts drifted back to the scene of receiving the guest before.

He tried hard to recall the guest's appearance, but found that he could not remember clearly. That day, the Chinese man wrapped himself up tightly, revealing only a pair of eyes and an incomplete face. Moreover, it had been a long time, but he still remembered it.

Chen Xi was the third one to go in. Lao Song and Dong Dong, who had gone in earlier, came out with frowns on their brows, obviously because the testimony was not going smoothly.

The moment he pushed open the door, he immediately felt an oppressive and tense atmosphere. There was a one-way glass in the room, and on the other side of the glass stood five Asians, their faces were serious and indifferent, which made Chen Xi feel a little palpitated.

He took a deep breath and walked to the one-way glass.

The policeman standing nearby looked at the five men in confusion.

In his opinion, these Asians looked extremely similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Chen Xi carefully observed the faces of the five Asians. Three of them were wearing hoodies, but their appearance was far different from that of the guest that day. So much time had passed, and the guest must have changed his clothes.

Moreover, the faces of these five people looked haggard, with obvious dark circles under their eyes, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of identification.

He smiled bitterly and thought, if there were five beauties standing here, he believed that he would only need a few seconds to accurately recognize any one of them.

Who would go out of their way to remember the appearance of men who have nothing to do with them?
"Is it so difficult for you Chinese to identify other Chinese?" Seeing that Chen Xi was slow to speak, the policeman standing nearby could not help but speak.

"He was wearing a sweatshirt that day, so I couldn't see his features clearly. The guy wearing a sweatshirt here doesn't look like him either. Let me think about it carefully."

Chen Xi answered this way, but he was complaining in his heart.

It’s because your efficiency in handling cases is so low.

How long did it take to catch the person?

Or just a suspect.

Among the five people, two wore flip-flops, looking casual and relaxed. One of them who was not wearing a sweatshirt wore a plaid shirt, looking relatively neat. Another wore a dirty old coat, and another wore glasses, giving a gentlemanly look.

"Turn sideways!" another policeman in the room said into the microphone.

The next second, five people turned around at the same time.

"I think it might be him." Chen Xi stretched out his finger and pointed at one of them, number three.

He recalled the figure of the guest that day, vaguely remembering that he was a bit hunched. When he saw the side profile of the man in the plaid shirt, he felt that there was some similarity.

Moreover, the man seemed to be shivering slightly, which made Chen Xi a little puzzled. He didn't know whether it was because of his drug addiction or because he was nervous. It was so warm here, obviously not because of the cold.

"Did you see it clearly?" asked the policeman.

"Yeah." Chen Xi was not sure either, so he could only nod.

"You go out, next one!" The police waved his hands. The testimonies of these three people were completely different, which made him doubt whether he had arrested the wrong person.

Is this over?

Didn’t the movie let the suspect come closer because it wasn’t clear? Was this step omitted?
Chen Xi sighed and walked out of the room.

He had no choice. The only person who looked like him was the one just now, and he couldn't just recognize someone randomly, otherwise he would be framing a good person.

"Thank you for your cooperation. You can go now." The police said after everyone finished the identification.

"Don't I have to go to court?" Xiao Ming recalled the steps in the movie.

"..." The policeman didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, as if the words just now were said by a mentally retarded person.

"Wait for notification." Another female police officer said, defusing the awkward situation.

"Okay, let's go." Dongdong obviously didn't want to stay here any longer.

When several people walked out of the police station, a gust of wind blew in their faces, mixed with sand, dust and dead leaves, making people shiver.

The huge contrast between the cold weather outside and the heating inside the police station made the few people look at each other and smile bitterly. They tightened their clothes and walked quickly towards the car parked on the side of the road.

"How did you identify it? Which number did you choose?"

After getting on Lao Song's van, Chen Xi looked at everyone and asked.

"number 1."

"The 4th."

“I didn’t choose…”

"I saw that the three wearing hoodies were all quite similar, so I chose the one with the worst mental state."

As soon as Chen Xi heard what everyone said, he knew that this testimony was invalid. But there was nothing he could do. He was not a policeman, so how to arrest and release people was still up to others.

Multiple testimony is different from single testimony. According to the normal procedure in most countries, the witnesses should be gathered together first and then questioned separately. Then the police will show some evidence, such as photos, videos or physical evidence, to help them recall and confirm the characteristics of the suspect.

Witnesses will be asked to describe the suspect's physical characteristics in detail, such as height, weight, hairstyle, skin color, whether there are scars or tattoos, etc. If possible, they will also be asked to describe the suspect's voice and behavioral characteristics.

Because the police lacked key information, they had to simplify the steps to identify the suspect.

Not only Chen Xi and others came to the police station today, but also the deceased's friends and some people who attended the party that day.

Although the Australian police may be a little slow in handling cases involving the death of Asians, they are not stupid and know exactly how to handle the case, especially since this case involves drugs, which has aroused their attention.

In a separate detention room in the police station, the man in a plaid shirt that Chen Xi had just pointed out lowered his head, his eyes revealing resentment. His name is Andy, nicknamed Shrimp, and he is a close friend of Xiao Fei.

This time, he thought he had handled the matter cleanly, but unexpectedly he was still arrested by the police and taken to the police station.

The police took out the drugs found at the villa, and without a doubt, they must have been done by the cleaners he hired. They asked them to destroy the things, but these people did not do so.

Fortunately, the villa belongs to someone else and the owner is currently abroad, so the police were unable to contact them immediately.

This gave Andy a glimmer of hope, and he hoped that the police would not be able to find conclusive evidence to convict him.

When I get out, I will make sure these cleaners are in trouble!

Andy pounded the seat under him hard, firstly to vent his anger, and secondly to cover up his drug addiction, otherwise it would be bad if the police saw it.

There is no such thing as a hair D test yet, and Australia does not enforce mandatory testing, so Andy is currently very safe.

In developed countries such as Australia, strong evidence is required to convict a person, and the involvement of some unscrupulous lawyers has led to many prisoners being acquitted.

Now Andy could only wait for Phineas to come and rescue him. He leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and thought about what to do next.

"You're useless. You can't do anything good, but you always cause trouble!"

In a messy house, Xiao Fei lay on the sofa angrily and threw his cell phone hard on the coffee table.

There were three people surrounding him. Two young men were dressed casually, leaning crookedly on the sofa, holding cigarettes in their hands and puffing away.

Another middle-aged man, wearing a neat suit, sat aside, concentrating on reading the documents in his hands. He looked at the dirty and messy environment with disgust and contempt from time to time, and was very dissatisfied with it.

However, as a lawyer, he understood the importance of money, and as long as the client was willing to pay, he would go there without hesitation even if he had to discuss business in a toilet.

"Can you handle it?" Xiao Fei was now angry and scared, fearing that Andy would suddenly have a brain spasm and shake him out. He stared at the lawyer in front of him with wide eyes and asked.

“This case is more difficult to handle.”

"Just tell me how much it is."

"You know I'm very expensive." The lawyer said proudly, crossing his arms.

"This is a deposit of 100,000 yuan."

"From now on, our employment relationship is officially effective."

The lawyer looked at the large amount of cash that Xiaofei threw on the table, and a trace of greed and satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xiaofei.

"I still like the rebellious look you showed just now." Xiao Fei's mouth twitched and he looked at the greedy guy in front of him.

He suffered a heavy loss this time. The money was originally intended to be payment for his cousin's goods. Now he has to ask his family for money to plug the hole, and he also has to find a way to pay for the subsequent costs of the lawsuit.

Xiao Fei had a lot of pocket money, but he had squandered it all. Now that such a difficult thing had happened, it was very troublesome for him.

"Nana, Chen Xi seems to have a special relationship with another girl. What should I do?" In Nana's apartment, Saori lay on the sofa like an upset child, holding her head tightly with her hands, and her legs waving in the air.

"What a mess! Tell me the truth." Nana was wearing a thin nightgown. The light material clung to her skin, outlining her graceful curves.

The design of the pajamas was somewhat sexy, revealing a charming charm. Under the heat, her skin was slightly flushed, exuding an alluring luster.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, contrasting with her pajamas and adding a touch of charm.

Nana has undergone tremendous changes recently. She has become very feminine and completely different from her previous tomboy image.

Recently, she began to subconsciously imitate Saori's dressing and movement habits. Her speech and behavior became much gentler, and her every move revealed a charming charm. Even Nana herself probably didn't notice this change.

In Shen Xinyi's spacious home, melodious piano sounds filled the air, like a lingering love song.

The sound of the piano is like a trickle of water, carrying a hint of sadness, flowing slowly in every corner.

Zhang Ruoxi sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a romance novel in her hand. As the sound of the piano rose and fell, the plot of the book slowly unfolded before her eyes.

She looked up at Shen Xinyi who was playing the piano, only to see that she had her eyes closed, concentrating and immersed in the world of music.

The graceful sound of the piano seemed to be her inner confession, telling the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of the musician.

The novel in her hand told a poignant love story. Accompanied by Shen Xinyi's piano playing, Zhang Ruoxi seemed to see the joys and sorrows of the protagonists in the book.

An inexplicable sadness surged in my heart and tears welled up in my eyes.

She shook her head, trying to shake off the emotion, but the piano music seemed to have a magic that she could not resist.

"Are you kidding me? Can you play some cheerful music?" Zhang Ruoxi said dissatisfiedly.

The sound of the piano gradually subsided and eventually turned into silence.

"My Miss Shen, don't be sad here. You are so outstanding, you can find any kind of man." Zhang Ruoxi hugged Shen Xinyi's arm, dragged her to the sofa, and began to teach her a lesson in love.
