573: On trial
Su Yue's expression remained steady, and he asked, "At least I can know... what exactly is going on now?" But no one answered him.
At this moment, the entire hall was silent. People watched as the New York Police Department officer took this Asian male away, having no idea what had happened.
Zhou Wei watched this scene with her mouth slightly open, feeling extremely shocked and speechless.
She had originally heard that the United States was chaotic, but she didn't expect to see this scene at the Airport!
Just as she was stunned, she heard someone else's voice from beside her: "Please cooperate with the investigation."
Zhou Wei was stunned, and turned back to see a white female officer. She was a little surprised: "What? What does this mean? I came to..."
The female officer interrupted Zhou Wei, and she said quickly and strongly: "We know the purpose of your visit, but please cooperate with our investigation now."
Zhou Wei's eyes widened, and she remained silent for a long time.
But at this moment, she had no other choice but to follow this female officer away, confused.
She and Su Yue were taken together to the New York Police Department.
...
At this moment, let alone these onlookers, even Su Yue was completely unclear about the situation.
These officers, who were unusually numerous at the Airport, were indeed not that simple. But what did this have to do with him?
Su Yue was taken directly out of the Airport. Looking at the direction the car was going, the palace of thought in Su Yue's mind immediately displayed the map of the entire city of New York.
Many relatively critical and important nodes were among them: hospital, United States Police Department, station, Airport, school... These red dots were marked at different locations. And the car's destination at this time was clearly the road from the Airport to the station.
"Are we going to the United States Police Department?" Su Yue frowned, looking at the situation beside him.
Since the end of the college entrance examination in June until now, he had never experienced such a situation.
This time he was completely unprepared. Even his identity and documents were clean, yet he unexpectedly encountered such a thing, which was truly too abrupt.
However, the System was not shut down. Was it just a misunderstanding?
But at this moment, Su Yue didn't say much. He just looked at the officer sitting beside him and asked, "Can I know what exactly happened? After all, I am not a United States citizen at all. How can you..."
The white officer interrupted Su Yue: "Hey! Shut up! Stop talking so much nonsense!"
His voice was very rough, causing Su Yue to narrow his eyes. He deeply remembered this person's appearance.
However, through his attitude and eyes, Su Yue confirmed one more point: the other party did not know his identity.
Or rather, the other party didn't care what his identity was.
So what exactly was their purpose? Was this the United States, known as the land of freedom? This first impression was really not good.
"But now the System is still in effect."
"Since the System can be effective, does it prove that I have not been arrested?"
"After all, what is the mechanism by which the System determines that I am arrested?"
"Or will it only be considered an arrest after entering the United States Police Department?"
However, while thinking this, Su Yue turned his head again to look over there and asked, "Why are you arresting me? Don't you care about my nationality? Don't you care about causing a commotion?"
He stared intently at the officer's eyes. However, the officer said nothing, just looked at him coldly.
But just at this moment, the officer suddenly heard this Asian man say: "It seems you don't care about causing a commotion, do you? Then what about nationality? Don't you care about causing international disputes?"
Hearing this person's words, the officer was a little surprised.
But before he could say anything, he heard Su Yue continue in a low voice: "Afraid. Your eyes tell me you care very much... That is to say, you have prepared evidence sufficient to overcome these difficulties for me, right?"
Hearing this sentence, the officer's mind was suddenly shaken!
His eyes widened, and he stared at Su Yue with his blue pupils: "Shut up! Shut your mouth! Don't try to provoke the United States Police Department! This is not China, and Su Yue cannot exist in the United States!"
However, as he was saying this, he heard Su Yue's low and rapid voice again: "Oh... you have indeed prepared false evidence. What is it? Identity? Plane ticket? Clothes? Suitcase? Computer..."
Before the word "computer" was finished, Su Yue stopped. He looked at the officer's eyes and frowned, saying, "Suitcase, is it?"
Immediately after, he smiled and said in a cold voice: "You are honest."
The officer felt his breathing had completely stopped!
He felt as if he was guarding a demon who could see through people's hearts!
The white officer no longer dared to look directly at Su Yue, but still stubbornly said, "Playing tricks, what are you talking about?"
"Damn it." He cursed in a low voice.
The others in the car also heard their conversation. The driver glanced at Su Yue through the rearview mirror, with a strange expression.
"What is the origin of this person?"
"Did we arrest the wrong person?"
He looked at the back meaningfully, momentarily in a trance.
When he realized that the Asian person in the back was also looking at him through the rearview mirror, he trembled all over, and then stopped looking back, focusing on driving instead.
He thought to himself: "No matter what, these are arrangements from above. I am only responsible for bringing the person back."
In fact, the others in the car also thought the same way.
They didn't care how powerful this young yellow-skinned person was; their task was just to send the person back.
And Su Yue had already confirmed some things at this time.
"It seems it is no longer possible to leave through normal means."
"These Americans are truly sanctimonious. Didn't they say they were just and free? Is this it?"
Su Yue's eyes became gloomy.
He had already begun to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
...
The New York Police Department Headquarters is a brown-yellow building over twenty stories tall.
In New York, where skyscrapers are everywhere, it may not be conspicuous, but as a world-renowned United States Police Department organization, this headquarters building is not simple.
The police car returning from the Airport drove into the parking lot. Su Yue's head was covered with a hood, and he was escorted upstairs.
After walking for a long time, his hood was removed. At this time, he was sitting in an interrogation room, with a huge piece of glass in front of him.
On the other side of the glass was another room, where many officers were watching the young Asian man sitting there with his wrists handcuffed.
"Gao Yu, the person is handed over to you. You will be responsible for the interrogation and so on."
"The boss only asked us to bring the person here, but didn't say anything else."
The person who spoke did not look good, because he had almost been seen through by this Asian person in the car.
However, the officer responsible for the interrogation, Gao Yu, sneered.
"What's the rush? You don't know how timid these Chinese people are. Once they are alone, especially in this situation, we just need to use a little trick to make him take the bait!"
"Besides, look at him, his eyes are dull... It's clear he's already scared silly."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. The higher-ups have already prepared the evidence, so we won't be in trouble."
He said confidently, and then suddenly changed the subject: "That Asian girl is quite pretty. It would be great if I could go interrogate her over there."
"This thin and weak Asian man, I'm even afraid of beating him to death if I lay a hand on him."
Hearing Gao Yu say this, the expressions of the other officers who escorted Su Yue back were not good.
They watched Gao Yu talking to himself, looking awkward.
One of the slightly older ones spoke up and said, "We'll go first. The boss will come to see the interrogation later. I hope things will be simpler."
Gao Yu nodded: "So urgent? Okay."
Although the other few people left, there were still three or four officers left on the glass window side.
"Gao Yu, have you heard of a person named Su Yue who has been quite popular in China recently? He seems to be a fugitive."
Since the person being interrogated would be Asian, their topic naturally shifted to Su Yue from China.
Speaking of things worth mentioning in China in recent days, it would be Su Yue.
However, regarding this name, Gao Yu sneered: "Su Yue? I've heard of him."
"I saw this person when I was watching Facebook at home last night, but I think if such a person were in New York, he definitely wouldn't last more than two or three days."
The others were a little curious and asked, "Why?"
Gao Yu put his feet up on the console, and while looking at Su Yue on the other side of the glass, he said, "It's actually very simple, because that group of officers in China are really useless."
"What kind of things have they encountered? It is said that they don't even have guns over there? When they encounter a case, they can only rely on batons and numbers?"
"Only under such an incompetent United States Police Department could such a person escape for so long, right?"
"And he even caused so much trouble?"
"If it were in New York, our NYPD would definitely arrest him and bring him to justice within three days!"
"Speaking of which, can high-IQ crimes also occur in a place as backward as China? I think it's just that the people over there watch too many of our movies. It's not really a high-IQ crime; it's just that they can't catch anyone and want to save face."
Gao Yu said this without any trace of embarrassment on his face.
As a member of the world's most powerful United States Police Department organization, NYPD, he naturally had the capital to be proud.
But did this kind of pride really have meaning?
Especially after hearing Gao Yu say this, the expressions of the others also brightened up as if they had suddenly understood.
"Haha, yes, speaking of which, if this Su Yue were in New York, he would probably have been caught as soon as he walked out of the station."
"Our facial recognition system is not something he can easily get through."
"And once we start the search and arrest, our capabilities are a hundred times stronger than those officers in China."
"Those useless people can't even catch an eighteen-year-old child..."
As they were talking, suddenly the room door was pushed open.
Gao Yu immediately put his feet down from the console, looking a little flustered.
"Mr. Ouris!"
The person who walked in just looked a bit gloomy. He glanced at the people in the room, and then focused his gaze on the glass, looking at the young man behind the glass.
"Is this the prisoner you brought back from the Airport?"
Ouris is the person in charge of this case. He usually looks like a meticulous and self-disciplined person.
He asked this question, but without waiting for others to answer, he said, "Let's start the interrogation."
"I will watch carefully here."
He emphasized the word "interrogation". It was obvious that this was not a simple or normal interrogation.
Hearing Ouris' words, Officer Gao Yu immediately nodded, then left the monitoring room and walked towards the interrogation room. Another officer, Bernie, went with him. The two were responsible for interrogating this young Asian chinese male named Zhang Qi.
Although it was called an interrogation, it was actually more like a torture and forced confession. Since their superior, Ouris, was present, their authority naturally became extremely high, and even temporarily turning off the cameras was not a problem.
Gao Yu held a document and sat opposite Su Yue, but he didn't speak immediately. After examining Su Yue for a moment, he asked in a cold tone, "Name."
Su Yue answered calmly: "Zhang Qi."
However, Gao Yu's expression seemed a little sarcastic. He smiled coldly and said, "Is that so? Your name is Zhang Qi?"
"Hey, stop pretending. Admitting it earlier is a good thing for both you and me. After admitting it, you can avoid suffering here, and besides, we can definitely find evidence."
"Although your documents seem real, what about the truth?"
Hearing Gao Yu's words, Su Yue's expression changed slightly. A sarcastic smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Oh? Do you want to frame me? I just came from China, is this the treatment I get?"
Bang!
Gao Yu slammed the table: "Stop talking nonsense! State your real name as soon as possible!"
However, he did not expect this chinese person to confess voluntarily. After slamming the table, he immediately sneered again and said, "I see you won't say it yourself either. But we have already found out your identity information. Your real name is 'Clayton Vaughn', a chinese American, who once studied at Washington D.C. University, worked in New York Chinatown, and flew to Markel overnight yesterday, and landed at Kennedy Airport today on the flight from China..."
"All I have said is fully supported by evidence. Even if you don't admit it, we can still find you guilty."
Gao Yu controlled his tone and demeanor extremely well. He even thought to himself that he had never performed such a clever act. And Officer Bernie, who was sitting beside him, was completely reduced to a background, watching him perform alone.
Ouris watched Gao Yu speak repeatedly in the interrogation room and couldn't help but nod. Such a performance was enough to shock an ordinary Chinese person. When facing such questioning, these ordinary people often follow the questioner's line of thinking and easily confess to crimes by mistake.
Ouris knew that the success rate was very high, so he had already started preparing for the next step. It would be best if the Chinese woman on the plane could come forward and testify, after all, only the two of them were left on the plane when it landed.
He had just taken out his phone, preparing to contact the interrogation room on the other side, when he suddenly froze and then looked up.
"I don't understand what you are talking about."
