Hu Xianyong was just thinking about taking this opportunity to go out and get some fresh air, to adjust himself before returning to continue recording Lin Beichen’s statement.
He gave Lin Beichen an apologetic smile, then walked out of the interrogation room and closed the door.
"Speak, what’s the matter?"
The policeman couldn’t help but shake his head with a chuckle, then reported: "The hostage I was recording the statement from was cooperating well and everything was going smoothly, but suddenly, he started spouting nonsense. He said that Lin Beichen didn’t just dodge bullets but could also catch them with his hands and even withstand them with his body..."
Hearing this, Hu Xianyong was completely dumbfounded, his expression growing increasingly strange.
The policeman who was speaking also noticed Hu Xianyong’s unusual reaction and cautiously asked, "Director Hu, what happened?"
"Just now, when I was recording Lin Beichen’s statement, what he said wasn’t much different from what your hostage said."
This policeman was also dumbfounded.
Doors of other interrogation rooms in the corridor started opening one after another, and one by one, the police officers who were supposed to be recording the hostages’ statements came out.
They looked at each other...
Big eyes stared at small eyes!
"Hey? Why are you all out here?"
"Why is everyone out? What’s going on?"
"Director Hu, I was just about to find you."
"What a coincidence, I was about to find Director Hu too."
As they spoke, they all gathered around Hu Xianyong and started reporting one after another.
"Director Hu, the hostage I was recording might have some mental issues. He was talking nonsense, claiming that Lin Beichen could dodge bullets, catch bullets with his hands, and the most absurd thing was that he claimed Lin Beichen could withstand bullets with his body."
"Hey? Your hostage said that too? Mine said the same thing!"
When they exchanged their information...
All the hostages and Lin Beichen described the events in almost exactly the same way!
For a moment, the entire corridor was quiet.
A pin drop could be heard!
The expression on Hu Xianyong and the other police officers’ faces looked like they had been copied and pasted.
Dumbfounded with shock, shocked with doubt.
Everyone in the supermarket said the same thing.
If this wasn’t a pre-planned lie...
Then it must be true!
They were all crystal clear inside—they knew the hostages hadn’t had the time, the energy, or the inclination to coordinate their stories.
Which left only one possibility—
What happened in the supermarket was just as they said!
Catch bullets with his hands?
Withstand bullets physically?
Could this all be true???
Hu Xianyong and the other cops still found it hard to believe.
However, thinking about the gunshot wounds on Lin Beichen’s back and how he squeezed the bullet out himself, plus the hostages’ statements,
It was hard not to believe.
Extreme contradiction!
At this moment, Hu Xianyong thought of something and looked at one of the police officers: "Xiao Li, have the surveillance videos from that specialty supermarket been retrieved?"
As soon as he asked this,
Everyone’s eyes lit up immediately.
The surveillance footage would tell!
They were now impatiently waiting.
The policeman called Xiao Li nodded repeatedly and confirmed: "It’s been retrieved!"
Hu Xianyong waved his hand decisively and said, "Let’s go to the Video Investigation Unit to watch the supermarket’s surveillance footage!"
