Shadow Empire

Chapter 520 Actors, Acting, Acting [666+3]
At the moment the door closed, Nate noticed that Hunter had picked up the phone again, and it was obvious that he was very busy now.

Nate's heart rate, which had been pounding, gradually stabilized, and he came to the interrogation room that his office was in charge of.

The two police officers in charge of the interrogation stood up immediately, "Sir..."

Nate waved his hand. "Did you find out anything?"

The guy sitting on the chair looked very tired. Although he had a few moments of respite because of the policemen's rest, it was far from enough.

The two police officers looked a little embarrassed. They used the interrogation techniques they learned from others on this man, but did not achieve any of the results they wanted.

This made them very embarrassed, and it was obviously a problem of their ability.

If they were asked by anyone else, they might not care so much, but when it came to Nate, their immediate boss, they didn't know what to say.

Nate waved his hand, signaling that they didn't have to rack their brains to think of what words to use to answer him.

He glanced at the file and said, "I'll talk to him alone."

The two police officers quickly left and closed the door.

The young man glanced at him sideways, rolled his eyes and looked away.

Nate looked at the young man and pulled out a cigarette.

He could have just left after saying a few words, but now, he suddenly wanted to get in touch with this young man more. He wanted to see why Blue admired and trusted Lance so much, and even had a blind trust in him.

"Want one?" he asked.

The young man hesitated, "If possible, but don't think you can get anything from me by giving me a cigarette."

Nate put the lit cigarette in his mouth into the young man's mouth. He took a puff and seemed to relax a lot.

At this moment, the effect of nicotine is not only to promote the secretion of dopamine, but also includes analgesia and psychological effects.

He squinted his eyes slightly, and the smoke from the cigarette butt disturbed his vision, as if his eyes had lost focus.

"Aren't you afraid?" Nate asked, "This is such a big case, and it's said that two ordinary drunkards died. If someone is behind it, you might end up on the electric chair."

"Smuggling and trafficking in contraband is a serious crime, and there are also gunfights and deaths."

The young man explained unconvincedly, "We didn't beat those two drunkards to death!"

Nate shook his head. "Who cares?"

"Do you think the judge will really listen to your defense as a gang member?"

"They will only listen to the prosecutor, the Hunter family, the Bay Area, and the police department. We will let the prosecutor tell the judge that you beat the two innocent drunks to death, and the judge will accept this evidence."

"You, there's a high chance you'll be sent to the electric chair."

When the young man heard the result, he paused for a moment, but soon resumed smoking, "Whatever."

Seeing his nonchalant look, Nate became more curious, "But if you're willing to testify against Lance, then there's a high probability that you won't have to face this."

"I just came from the director's office. He told me that as long as you testify against Lance, your sentence will not exceed three years."

The young man was stunned again, then smiled and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Nate's nose suddenly felt itchy, and he rubbed it back and forth with his index finger. "Can you tell me why you don't want to do this?"

"Did he threaten you, or did he have any other means?"

The young man didn't say anything and remained silent. Although he didn't speak, he was thinking.

Until the cigarette is finished.

"Thanks for the cigarette," he said.

Nate asked again, "You still have time to change these."

The young man pursed his lips and said, "Send Q!"

After hearing this, Nate was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. He laughed so hard that tears came out!

His laughter made the young man look at him as if he were a madman. The young man didn't understand why Nate was laughing so happily even though he was being scolded.

"Lance... let me give you a message."

The young man's expression changed, his face turned a little red, and then he said, "Send Q again!"

Nate raised his hand and waved it, "Hunter is willing to pay for a security process for you. You will have our protection as long as you confess and testify against Lance, but he will definitely not be satisfied with just your confession."

"You have to tell him that you have some evidence that can be used as evidence to prove Lance's guilt."

"But you have one condition. Tell only Hunter and require that Hunter must get it himself." The young man's eyes lit up. "You mean, you want Hunter to be expelled from the police station?"

Nate nodded, which made the young man initially believe him, because he had no evidence at all and didn't know where to send Hunter.

It is not a bad thing for him to plead guilty, and if he finds out that it was a scam, he can just say he was forced into it when he appears in court.

He thought about it for a moment, but then shook his head, "What if he doesn't want to go out?"

As a young man, he probably knew Lance's plan and tricked Hunter out and killed him.

No matter what subsequent impact this incident will cause, as long as the attitude of the police changes, Lance’s pressure will be reduced sharply.

He didn't know too many big principles or family secrets, he only knew that this could help Lance and the family, and that was enough!

So his brain started working quickly and he thought of one of the existing problems.

That is, he did what the police officer said, but Hunter did not go out himself and arranged for someone else to go out. What should he do?
Nate sighed, not because there was something wrong with the method, nor because of the young man's thinking ability, but because Director Blue had already told him the answer when he talked to him, and Lance had already thought of it.

"You just have to tell him that there are some of Lance's people here as well. If they get the evidence or know what the evidence is, Lance will immediately destroy anything that can incriminate him!"

After hearing this, the young man completely believed Nate.

Indeed, everyone is racing against time, trying desperately to kill each other.

Now a crucial piece of evidence has appeared, but it requires him to take a risk. Will he take it?
The young man didn't know, but he believed that if this was what Lance asked for, then they would definitely win in the end.

"I know, tell me the location."

After Nate finished speaking, he warned, "Don't confess now, do you understand what I mean?"

The young man nodded and said, "If you want to act more realistically, I've seen Gerard act."

Seeing Nate's confused look, he smiled and said, "Jerald, you will know the future big star."

"By the way, give me another cigarette. I don't know when I'll be able to smoke it next time."

Nate took out a cigarette from the box, lit it up and handed it over. His curiosity was overflowing again. "Why?"

The young man couldn't open his eyes because of the smoke, and asked with a cigarette in his mouth, "Why?"

"Why aren't you afraid?"

The young man smiled and replied, "Would you betray your family?"

"I don't know if you will, but I won't!"

Nate was somewhat taken for granted, somewhat shocked, and somewhat amazed, "Family...?"

Soon the young man finished his cigarette and Nate left the room, then he walked around the other interrogation rooms.

He wrote something on a card - "Hold on, this will all be over soon!"

Whenever he entered those interrogation rooms, he would show these cards to the subjects being interrogated to let them know that Lance was not doing nothing, he was taking action!
These displays were so secret that no one could see them except those being interrogated.

For the whole morning, "nothing was accomplished", no one gave any explanation, and even some police officers noticed something unusual.

These people being interrogated suddenly became tougher. They might have been a little negative before, but now, they are not negative at all. Some of them even cursed while being beaten. Why is this situation not right?

But they didn’t know what was wrong, they could only think it was... some kind of explosion?
Near noon, many reporters suddenly came to the outside of the police station. They said that they had received reports that the police station was torturing suspects on a large scale, forcing them to confess and asking them to testify against more people.

To the reporters, this news is like dogs seeing a pile of fresh shit. They are fighting and biting each other for the shit!

For a moment, the entrance of the police station became extremely lively, and Hunter was very angry.

This shows what?
This fucking proves that there is a "traitor" in the police station!

If there was no traitor, who would know that they were torturing these suspects?
This is a very difficult situation to handle now. If he says nothing and lets these reporters write whatever they want, then the city hall, the state government, and the prosecutor's office may intervene in the investigation.

Ensuring a fair judicial system is one of the basic conditions for appeasing the lower classes of society and preventing them from rioting. Although no one really takes this matter seriously, not taking it seriously and openly not taking it seriously are not the same thing!

He had to be interviewed, but he couldn't let things go off the track; those damn reporters were bound to interview the suspects.

The only thing he can do now is to find a way to fool around.

He believed that within a few days at most, he would be able to thoroughly understand the case!

Soon he invited reporters to the conference room and accepted interviews. At the same time, he showed some other cases to the reporters and even asked some police officers to take off their uniforms to play criminals!
While talking about the seriousness of these cases, he said that it is impossible for torture, which violates the law and judicial requirements, to occur in the police station, and that everything is a rumor spread by criminals.

Their goal is to sabotage the interrogation and prevent them from getting to the truth!
