155: The owner of the roadside arms shop
Bang!
The police officer in charge of the interrogation slammed his hand heavily on the desk in front of him, making a loud noise.
While such a serious interrogation method might be somewhat inappropriate for a primary school student around ten years old, this Little Brother named Liu Xiaotong was indeed very tight-lipped.
For an ordinary child, let alone facing police questioning, just sitting there would probably scare them to tears.
But precisely because he had such courage, he stepped forward at the critical moment, fearless of the dangerous villain, and helped the Gatekeeper Elder resolve this crisis.
"Liu Xiaotong, if you really don't want to tell us the origin of this gun, it's actually fine. It will just take us a little more time to find out its origin."
"But there's a saying: leniency for confession, severity for resistance."
"Uncle is giving you a chance to make amends."
"Look, you caused irreversible severe damage to the villain's wrist with this gun. According to regulations, you might be charged with intentional injury, which could mean being locked up in a small dark room."
"But if you are willing to proactively tell us the origin of this gun, it will be considered cooperating with the police in handling the case, and you might even receive praise and commendation."
The interrogating police officer spoke persuasively, continuing to use both carrot and stick.
A child is still a child after all.
Hearing this, Liu Xiaotong finally couldn't hold back his tears of grievance, which welled up in his eyes.
He didn't know why, even though he clearly helped the Gatekeeper Elder subdue the villain, he was the one who might be locked up in a small dark room.
"I... I'll tell you..."
"I bought this gun at a street stall stationery shop outside the school gate,"
Liu Xiaotong took a deep breath and said intermittently.
Outside the school gate? A street stall stationery shop?!
The interrogating police officer's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this.
He never expected that a weapon with such terrifying lethality would be associated with a stationery shop and a street stall.
He suppressed his inner excitement well, turned his head, and gave a look to his colleague responsible for recording. The colleague immediately understood and restarted the voice recorder.
"Do you know that boss? Do you remember the exact location of his stall?"
Liu Xiaotong shook his head.
"I don't know the boss. I only bought a stationery set from him once."
"His stall is next to the takoyaki vendor by the traffic light."
The interrogating police officer precisely captured the key information from Liu Xiaotong's previous answer.
"Stationery set? Are you saying this modified pen gun with a scope was obtained from buying a stationery set? How many more of these sets does that boss have? How many people did he sell them to?!"
Liu Xiaotong thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes, when I bought it, it said 'AWM set' on it. But at the time, it just contained various ordinary stationery pens. The gun shape was something I researched and assembled myself after I got home."
"As for how many the boss still has, I don't know. Anyway, yesterday I saw there were still quite a lot left unsold at the stall. But I also don't know how many people he actually sold them to."
Liu Xiaotong continued to answer truthfully.
"Very good! Now tell Uncle, besides this 'AWM set,' what other types of sets did the boss have?"
"There were many, like gatling gun sets, AK47 sets, 98K sets, S686 sets..."
!!!
Upon hearing this, the police officer in charge of the interrogation felt a chill down his spine.
Good heavens, this was not a stationery shop owner; he was practically a street vendor arms dealer!
They had witnessed the power of the modified pen AWM; with appropriate bullets, it could penetrate wooden boards at close range.
Then this gatling gun, and AK47... if these were to circulate widely among primary school students, who knew what serious safety hazards would arise later? The thought alone sent shivers down one's spine.
"Someone, immediately contact and notify the Third Brigade."
"Send people to investigate all the street stalls outside No. 2 Primary School! Especially those selling stationery, question them thoroughly!"
"Also, deploy plainclothes police officers to observe discreetly and stake out the area. Once a suspect is found, immediately arrest them!"
...Achoo, achoo, achoo!!
Inside the villa.
Su Yu, who had just woken up, was still groggy, sneezing three times as he got out of bed.
Damn it!
Why was he sneezing so much after waking up? He didn't have a cold.
He hadn't slept well last night, constantly dreaming.
He dreamt that his stall business was maliciously reported and shut down! It caused all the stationery sets he painstakingly made to be confiscated and handed over, with not a single one sold.
The live stream was full of laughter, all mocking him, a Streamer with millions of followers, for having his plans ruined by such a thing.
Su Yu was originally very indignant.
But then he remembered his real experience of setting up a stall outside No. 2 Primary School all afternoon yesterday, only managing to sell one stationery set despite talking himself hoarse, and he got even angrier!
The label of a disgraceful broadcast ending was firmly stuck to him.
It was indeed too shameful!
However, fortunately, Su Yu was not the type of person to be defeated by a single failure. On the contrary, failure and setbacks only made him fight harder.
He decided to change his sales model for today's stall. Since Jiang Taigong was fishing and no one was biting, he would take the initiative.
Sales, after all, if you're not thick-skinned, what kind of sales are you doing!
Su Yu got up, brushed his teeth, and scrolled through Kuaishou... But while he was brushing his teeth, a trending Kuaishou recommendation popped up.
The video's shooter must have been a Live audience at the time.
Although the video quality wasn't very clear, the screaming and terrified sounds gave Su Yu a jolt.
In the video, a middle-aged woman lay in a pool of blood, and a dark figure next to her, holding a small knife, was climbing over a wall. Judging by the scene in the video, it seemed to be near a school.
Su Yu even saw primary school students running on the playground.
This was a knife-wielding villain attacking a campus?!
Holy cow, how could something like this still happen in this day and age!
Su Yu quickly clicked on the comment section to check.
He saw people discussing.
"So scary! How could this school's security measures be so poor! Quickly avoid it, how could a villain even rush into the school!!"
"Oh my god, I can't imagine how terrifying it would be if my child was studying there!"
"Look, everyone, the woman lying in a pool of blood, her stomach is showing."
"What's wrong with this society? How can I see someone attacking primary school students first thing in the morning!"
"I heard that the villain was subdued and caught almost immediately after breaking into the campus. The ones who subdued him were the Gatekeeper Elder and a primary school student!"
"Really? Are primary school students that fierce now? Seeing an armed villain and still daring to rush forward with bare hands? Isn't that just pure suicide?"
"Don't talk nonsense, who said that primary school student was committing suicide? I heard that Little Brother used his self-made stationery gun to directly shoot through the villain's wrist, which bought time for others to escape."
Stationery gun?
Seeing this strange yet familiar term, an ominous premonition inexplicably arose in Su Yu's heart.
