The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

In the Borno police station, Gu Zizhe and Shen Youqing looked at each other after answering the same question asked by the police chief for the fifth time.

"The notebook has been given to you. We didn't see what the man looked like. We only saw his back."

Shen Youqing slowly explained to the police officer in front of him in British what he had seen at the time, trying to make the police officer, who seemed to speak not very good British, understand what he meant.

Gu Zizhe looked at his girlfriend, the ultimate i, who was trying so hard, then glanced at the police officer in charge of the case sitting opposite them, and began to seriously worry about when he and Qingqing would be able to get out of this room.

Early this morning, he and Qingqing were the first to discover Huang Niao's disappearance. They also called Huang Niao's number several times before asking the team to contact the police.

If he hadn't been unable to get through, he wouldn't have come to the police station with Qingqing holding a notebook to ask for help.

I don’t know if it’s because there are so many missing persons cases in Yidali, or maybe the country’s relevant management system is too loose, but the police officer assigned to handle this missing persons case seems to have his own ideas for investigation, and he has been very persistent in believing that he and Shen Youqing are related to the disappearance of Huang Niao.

Although his level of Idali was sufficient for daily communication, his vocabulary was clearly not enough to convince an overly persistent local police officer.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be trapped in this room with Qingqing, and wouldn't be able to do anything about the police officer in front of him.

"If you saw that man helping the lady out, why didn't you chase him out, but instead went to pick up the notebook she left at the front desk?"

The police officer asked in British English with a somewhat awkward pronunciation, and Gu Zizhe almost wanted to roll his eyes.

They had clearly explained the situation many times, and he and Qingqing only realized who the person outside the door was supporting afterward, and they didn't know it was Huang Niao, so why was he still so persistent...

Although it is a good thing for a police officer to be skeptical about everything, it is not a good thing if this skepticism causes trouble to the other party.

"Qingqing, let's not explain it for now. Wait until the boss lady retrieves the surveillance video of the hall from the computer and sends it to us, then we can reconstruct the incident in detail."

Explaining something over and over again is indeed a very exhausting task. Gu Zizhe even suspected that the general opposite them wanted to use fatigue tactics to break them down so that they could confess the "truth" he imagined.

Gu Zizhe had never learned about the specific police ranks in the country of Yidali, but looking at the shoulder straps of this police officer, he could roughly sense one thing.

——This stubborn police officer in front of me should not have a very high rank in the police system of this country.

Before coming to the police station, the proprietress had told them that since the computer at the front desk was relatively old, even though there were surveillance records, it would take some time to export them, so they might not be able to get them as quickly as they did here.

Shen Youqing glanced at the expression on Gu Zizhe's face, sighed slightly, and nodded at him.

There is a small window on the door of the police station's interrogation room, so you can see the outside world.

During the time the two of them stayed in this room, countless people in a hurry passed by the door without even looking into the interrogation room, but the hotel owner's wife was never seen.

Fortunately, although this police officer was stubborn, he did not completely restrict the freedom of Gu Zizhe and Shen Youqing. He still allowed the two to bring their mobile phones into the interrogation room, as if he was not afraid of what they would do.

At that moment, an idea suddenly came to Gu Zizhe's mind, and he came up with a new idea to persuade the police officer in front of him.

If stating the established facts is useless, then wouldn't it be more convincing to infer from the fact of Huang Niao's disappearance itself?

After all, neither he nor Qingqing had any motive to commit the crime.

Shen Youqing, who had a sweet face and heroic spirit, now looked tired, but he seemed to have thought of something at the same time, and his eyes became exceptionally bright.

"Xiaozhe, let's change our thinking and not be led by this police officer."

Shen Youqing, with bright eyes, communicated his narrative ideas with Gu Zizhe in Chinese in front of the police officer, without avoiding his thoughts at all.

Hearing the unfamiliar syllables echoing in this space, the stubborn police officer frowned and was about to interrupt the conversation between the two people, but he closed his mouth abruptly before the interruption.

All conversations in the interrogation room were recorded by surveillance cameras. If these two Asian-looking people were plotting something in front of him, this would be irrefutable evidence when they were convicted.

He straightened his slightly crooked uniform hat and thought about when it would be appropriate to end their communication. The communication between the two people opposite finally stopped.

"Officer, what we just told you was the process, but if we look at the result of this incident, do you really think that the two of us have any motive to be that person's accomplices?"

Gu Zizhe carefully chose his words and spoke this sentence slowly and carefully using his limited Idali vocabulary.

The police officer, who had just thought he was extremely alert, was caught off guard by these words.

There was no joking in the tone of this handsome Asian boy, and the angle of the question he asked was something that I, who was obsessed with possibilities, had not thought of just now.

He had been speculating on how the two men assisted the kidnappers in getting the people out of the hotel smoothly, but he forgot to identify their most important motive for committing the crime.

"You just said that the missing person is the owner of the modeling company where you work part-time, and she enjoys a certain reputation in the entire art world of Blue Star. If you look at it from the perspective of not ruining your own job... you really don't need to team up with others to kidnap her."

The Yidali police officer seemed to have finally come to his senses and began to think about the possibility of their involvement in the case based on their motives.

Just when Gu Zizhe felt that this direction of persuasion was promising, the stubborn police officer suddenly changed the subject and expressed another guess.

"You are all part-time workers, and your main job is to be students. If you covet your boss's wealth and cooperate with others to kidnap... it is not impossible."

Even though Gu Zizhe was such a calm and composed person, he was now somewhat impressed by the police officer's way of thinking.

How on earth did he come up with such a far-fetched possibility!

Is it because of this unique and self-consistent thinking logic that his current police rank is not high?

"...Officer, although we are international students, we are not short of money."

Shen Youqing was obviously shocked by the police officer's train of thought and was speechless for a few seconds. He once again stated a fact in a very earnest tone.

Although they both worked part-time in Huang Niao's modeling company, both of them came from relatively well-off families, and they did not have to risk being imprisoned abroad to participate in planning a kidnapping plan with a pitifully low success rate.

Moreover, any normal person who can weigh the pros and cons, even if he has this idea, will not take such a big risk when the success rate is unknown!

The police officer opposite them carefully observed the clothes of the two people and found that although he could not tell the specific brand of the clothes, he could infer from the material and texture that they were not clothes made of inferior materials or of questionable quality.

Judging from the family economic conditions reflected by the appearance of these two people, there is really no need for them to go to so much trouble to collude with others to carry out kidnapping.

...But as the first people to come to the police station to report the case with the kidnapped person's belongings, they are still highly suspicious.

Just when he was still wondering whether these two people were using their excellent eloquence to try to escape punishment, the door of the interrogation room, which had been closed for a long time, finally opened at this moment.

The amiable hotel owner stood at the door of the inquiry room, holding a small USB flash drive in her hand, and behind her stood the chief of the town police station.

"Sorry, kids, I'm a little late."

The proprietress smiled gently and helplessly, but Gu Zizhe and Shen Youqing had no intention of blaming her at this moment.

If possible, neither of them wants to deal with such a stubborn person in the short term...
