Seeing my silence, the young police officer who had not spoken before immediately said, "It's a pity that detention is at least one month. If it were less than twenty days, putting you in the detention center might be relatively better for you."
"Now, the situation is very unfavorable for you."
"My master and I estimate that you will be detained for at least two months, or even longer, depending on how your opponent wants to deal with you!"
"Instead of wasting time thinking and spacing out here, you might as well call someone outside to explain the situation as soon as possible."
Heh heh ~ ironic! Truly ironic!
Those with power can transcend rules, while those without power can do nothing but obey! To resist is to court death!
Who dares to say that the municipal bureau and county bureau officials are unaware of what happened at the Xinxin Foot Bath, and how the murder case unfolded?
They all know! They are very clear!
But why did they all tacitly choose to avoid the issue, even remaining tight-lipped?
If I am guilty, I will admit it. I don't bat an eye at any fine or detention!
But what about Xiao Tianci? This is the second time he has hired assassins!
One time it was for Yu Shuang, and the other time it was for me!
After failing to hire assassins, he sinisterly and maliciously framed me.
If Xiao Tianci had framed me with some things or objects, it would have been one thing, but what he used... was a human life!
A living human life!
Has he received any punishment? No!
Not only has he received no punishment, but he must be living well now!
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the whole world was not black and white, but turbid, hideous, dirty, and ugly!
Since Xiao Tianci has put on airs of a local bully and thrown a combination of punches at me, I will accept it!
As the saying goes: A fierce dragon does not cross the river unless it has to!
I won the first round of the game centered around the Orchid Gate, and Xiao Tianci won the second round of the game centered around the underworld and the legitimate world.
Next, in the third round of the game centered around the detention center, let's see who of him and I is the superior strategist!
………………
After coming back to my senses, I first thanked the two police officers from the municipal bureau and immediately called Yu Shuang to explain the situation, truthfully stating my current predicament.
After explaining my situation, I also told Yu Shuang about Camel's problem and asked her to take care of them and their master for a while.
Finally, I repeatedly warned Yu Shuang to hide well and not show herself during my detention, and if necessary, to temporarily leave Longxi.
The second call I made was to Cheng Minglang.
After not seeing me for just one night, Cheng Minglang became anxious upon hearing that I was about to be detained, saying he would immediately approach Jiang Xiaowan for help.
If it were in the past, having received a favor from Yu Shuang, I would have stopped Cheng Minglang from doing so.
But now, I didn't.
If a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them!
Yu Shuang helped me to obtain that half of the Thousand King Token, ultimately for her own benefit.
I can no longer look at the present phenomenon in isolation, detached from its essence, as I did before.
Therefore, I tacitly approved Cheng Minglang's move to seek help from Jiang Xiaowan.
Ying Baolin also has a strong background. If he knows influential people in the Longxi area, a quiet word from them would at least prevent my initial one-month detention from being extended too much.
Finally, I called Camel.
I didn't say any superfluous words, only telling him that after my detention period ended, I would cause a stir in Longxi with him!
Camel understood very well that the more than six million yuan I gave him and Xiao Long was life money.
Either buy someone else's life, or sell my own!
After hearing my words, Camel replied without hesitation, "Boss, I'll wait for you to get out!"
After arranging everything, I had no other concerns.
After all, mistakes must be paid for sooner or later, and it's better sooner than later.
Whatever happens, happens!
Upon arriving at the municipal bureau, after completing the statement with the master-disciple police officers, I was soon taken to the detention center.
Criminals sentenced to detention do not need to be sent to courts or other judicial bodies; the public security organs execute the sentence nearby.
As personnel from the municipal bureau, that master-disciple pair was not only efficient but also very accurate in their estimations.
I was ultimately sentenced to three months of detention.
It was originally one month, but because I had a record of administrative penalties, it started at one plus one, and then, because I didn't have a driver's license, another month was added, totaling three months.
Even this was the result of their efforts.
If I didn't have connections behind me... never mind.
Once the criminal penalty of three months detention was issued, I was moved from the solitary cell to the regular cell.
It's false to say I wasn't nervous when I officially began my detention in the cell.
But fortunately, I had often heard Uncle Camel say that when he was young, he had been in detention centers and holding cells quite a bit.
Uncle Camel said that, in a sense, detention centers and holding cells value rules more than the outside world.
As long as you abide by the rules and know how to handle things, there will be no major problems.
Remembering the advice, I did not show resistance or rejection like first-time inmates, but acted naturally.
There were originally twelve people in the cell, and with me, there were thirteen, all criminals with minor offenses serving short-term sentences.
They were all involved in brawls or petty theft.
The leader of my cell was a muscular man named Red-Eyed Vajra, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
Red-Eyed Vajra became the leader for one reason: he was a good fighter!
The detention center is a place where strength matters; the stronger you are, the more say you have.
Recognizing the boss, the first thing I did was to pay my respects, but not in a subservient way.
After all, everyone here had committed minor offenses and would be released in a few months.
After release, it's not just about strength, but also about brains and money.
Of course, money is the most important.
As a gambler, I have plenty of money...
After revealing my identity, not only was I not bullied by Red-Eyed Vajra, but he even praised me for being straightforward and not hiding my intentions.
Furthermore, Red-Eyed Vajra declared that he would protect me, and anyone who crossed me would be crossing him.
On the surface, I expressed my gratitude for Red-Eyed Vajra's words and felt relieved, but inwardly, I sneered.
Anyone who can become the leader of a cell is definitely not to be trifled with!
On the surface, Red-Eyed Vajra admired me for being honest, but the real reason behind it was probably my identity.
To borrow a phrase from that kid who steals electric bikes in later generations: everyone in here is talented, and they all speak so nicely!
