No matter how the police interrogated him, Hong Tai stuck to the same story, never admitting to having fired the gun.
Time ticked away, and before long it was half past eleven.
Seeing the case officers frequently checking their watches, Hong Tai seemed to guess what was going on and carelessly propped up his legs.
"Officer comrade, it's about time. How many times have you arrested me? When have I not walked away unscathed? Why bother?"
"To be honest, I do understand you guys, working hard every day like oxen and horses, and only earning so little. It must be tough providing for the family, right?"
"How about this, if you ever tire of this line of work, come find me. I can't promise anything else, but I can guarantee you'll eat and drink well if you follow me."
Even the experienced arresting officers couldn't help but feel infuriated by Hong Tai's arrogance.
Soon, a junior officer came to call the two case officers out.
