Chapter 461 - Turn Off the Surveillance

authority."Die then!"Lawrence and James Landt simultaneously roared as they charged towards Zhang Xuan! They knew that now, the two of them must unite their efforts if there was any chance to overcome...Chapter 461: Turn Off the Surveillance

Fifteen minutes later, Hu Qizhi had already coughed himself into a miserable state, lying on the ground with tears and snot streaming down his face. His trachea felt like it was on fire, leaving him weak and in unbearable pain! The more he coughed, the worse the pain became!

Despite his throat and trachea being swollen to the point of extreme discomfort and excruciating pain with every cough, Hu Qizhi couldn't help but continue coughing. Coughing is one of humans' most basic instincts; it's almost impossible to suppress even if you try, especially when faced with such pungent irritant gases!

Originally hoping to see Wang Zheng curled up in a fetal position like a shrimp, Hu Qizhi tragically realized that he was the one who had become the shrimp.

But Wang Zheng seemed immune to chili peppers. He squatted down and patted Hu Qizhi's face, asking, "Aren’t you surprised that I’m not affected"

Hu Qizhi, still violently coughing, might have been unable to hear what Wang Zheng was saying, but Wang continued speaking to himself with a nostalgic look on his face. "When I first concocted this powerful chili water using the ghost pepper, to prevent others from retaliating in kind, for an entire month straight, I forced myself to eat one ghost pepper every day. Though it was just one, it nearly drove me insane."

"A few people have actually been fatally overwhelmed by these Mexican ghost peppers. Before eating them, I was very nervous; the feeling is really unbearable, like being on fire from head to toe, and drinking ice water doesn’t help at all—it’s as if your blood boils," Wang Zheng said with a squinted gaze. "The first time I ate it, I got so overwhelmed by the spiciness that I passed out. When I woke up, I realized I was severely dehydrated; another half hour and there might have been no saving me."

"Because of this ghost pepper, I had to spend an entire day in ice water from throat to intestines, everything swollen and inflamed. But the next day, I ate another one," Wang Zheng said with a squinted smile. "Maybe because my digestive system was numb from the first one, the second ghost pepper didn’t seem nearly as spicy."

"A month later, I had become fearless of the harm caused by devil peppers; eating them raw would only upset my stomach for a short while, and not even cause me to cough."

To make oneself stronger and invincible requires how much arduous effort! Even Wang Zheng wasn't born this strong. He certainly didn’t have some kind of innate advantage from birth!

In this world, there are no free lunches; many people often only see others’ success but neglect their struggles. Focusing solely on the results while downplaying the process is something to be wary of. The process of striving can produce many byproducts, which turn out to be pleasant surprises.

"Therefore, the situation you are encountering now is vastly different from what I faced back then," Wang Zheng said with a smile as he squinted his eyes. "Who knows, maybe you'll come to love this feeling—self-inflicted pain."

Hu Qizhi's intense coughing continued to reverberate in the sealed interrogation room; as long as the door didn’t open and the smell remained, Hu Qizhi would keep coughing!

"Come, come, Brother Boqi! Let’s down this glass of wine!" Director Huang held a cup of wine and toasted Zhang Boqi. Director Huang’s real name was Huang Haibo; his drinking capacity was well-known to be strong. As the saying goes, a capable leader has no weak subordinates—ten people at the table today had already finished seven bottles of Wuliangye!

"No can do, Brother Huang, I really have drunk too much," Zhang Boqi said with a heavy tongue. "Our police force brothers are so enthusiastic; another day, I must definitely invite everyone back to Yan Zhou County as guests. After all, it’s close by and convenient for everybody."

"Down this glass, Brother Boqi! This brother will drink first out of respect!" With that said, Huang Haibo tilted his head back, pouring the pure Wuliangye down his throat.

Mr. Huang is quite a bit older than Zhang Bo. Since Mr. Huang has already finished his drink, there's no reason for Zhang Bo to refuse, but after drinking this cup, Zhang Bo, who was already feeling the effects of alcohol, felt even more dizzy and unsteady. The police brothers are usually tough and aggressive, and they're also quite heavy drinkers. After just two rounds, Zhang Bo couldn't take it anymore.

"Brother Huang, shall we call it a day" Zhang Bo held his glass firmly and refused to let anyone top up his drink.

"Alright." Mr. Huang didn't push him further and said: "Come on, let's see how the case is progressing!"

When they opened the surveillance footage with a strong smell of alcohol around them, their hazy minds immediately cleared up!

Wang Zheng was sitting properly on a stool, while lying in front of him was someone else. On closer inspection, it could only be Hu Qizhi!

"Something's wrong! We've been too careless!" Seeing this, Mr. Huang slammed the table and said: "Quickly, get me the surveillance footage to see what happened!"

Mr. Huang was still very curious about how a person with both hands cuffed could manage to bring down an experienced police officer.

The subordinate beside him hesitantly said: "Director Huang, when we went for dinner just now, the surveillance cameras were all turned off, so we have no idea what happened earlier."

At this moment, Huang Haibo felt無比懊悔 for missing such an important piece of evidence! Could it be that the other party knew he would turn off the surveillance, and thus acted so brazenly

"Too arrogant! Daring to assault a police officer right in the interrogation room!" said Zhang Boqi. "Director Huang, you must handle this seriously!"

"Leave it to me. Secretary Zhang and Director Huang can wait for the results here; some matters are more convenient if handled by us lower-level folks," said a man who seemed rather gloomy, but who had been quite sociable with Zhang Boqi at the dinner table earlier, drinking heavily without any change in his expression after downing over half a bottle of liquor.

This person was Deputy Captain Zhao Pinghai of Fuzhou City's Criminal Investigation Unit. He usually appeared rather gloomy, but when it came to action, he never hesitated and was quite ruthless—those caught by him would at least lose some skin.

"Alright then, go ahead," said Director Huang, realizing that handling this himself wasn't appropriate either, so he instructed Zhao Pinghai accordingly.

"That useless man!" Upon mentioning Hu Qizhi, a trace of gloom and disdain flashed across Zhao Pinghai's eyes.

With five or six subordinates in tow, Zhao Pinghai stormed into the interrogation room. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, an overwhelming pungent heat hit them all! They were immediately overwhelmed by tears and runny noses!

"Damn it, how much chili water would it take to create this kind of effect" A policeman kept rubbing his eyes; the spicy gas had entered his eyes moments ago, leaving everything in a blur.was likely that he would go into shock from dehydration within ten minutes!The others had no clue who the man speaking could be, someone so terrifying to their captain.After shaking uncontrollably for...
