"Hoo hoo hoo..." Heavy breathing like a bellows, in just a minute and a half, felt like an eternity for Gao Qiang, whose oxygen deprivation was becoming more severe.
"Not bad, you're on the fifteenth layer now, but the fifteenth layer is a watershed, I'm afraid you'll beco a 'drowned ghost."
He spoke as he applied the fifteenth layer of rice paper on Gao Qiang.
It was as if Gao Qiang was not a life in his eyes; his deep eyes showed no trace of emotion.
For him, killing was as natural as drinking water or eating. Gao Qiang had once encountered such a person while working a case with an old detective.
That criminal was the perpetrator of a serial murder case, vicious and evil.
At this mont, Su Chen reminded him of that person, reflecting the terrifying impression Su Chen left on him.
The fifteenth layer of rice paper was still as thin as a cicada's wing, but now stuck on Gao Qiang's face, it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
He felt that this thin layer of paper might take his life.
Though it sounded absurd, it was indeed the case.
Moreover, Gao Qiang was lucky that it was just rice paper he prepared. If it were kraft paper, he might not have managed to survive past the fifth sheet, perhaps even five sheets was an overestimation.
Su Chen watched as Gao Qiang's breathing beca weaker and slower, only then removing the water-soaked rice paper from Gao Qiang's face.
In that mont, Gao Qiang felt as though he had been reborn, greedily breathing in the air.
He realized how joyful it was to breathe freely.
"It's about ti. I think you can call soone in now."
Su Chen unlocked the handcuffs on Gao Qiang, dragged him behind the interrogation table, and sat back in the interrogation chair.
In those re five minutes, Gao Qiang was sowhat dazed. If not for his soaked clothes or the pain in his chest, he might have thought it was a nightmare, too terrifying, he almost believed he was going to die.
And all of it was caused by the man before him.
At this mont, Gao Qiang dared not stay alone with Su Chen any longer. Seeing the ti was right, he promptly called his colleagues outside into Interrogation Room No. 5.
Wu ca back, feeling a bit nervous during this ti, knowing full well that Gao Qiang's actions were against procedures. If discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. As a collaborator, he would equally face punishnt.
But upon returning, he found the atmosphere at the scene quite strange.
Su Chen sat perfectly fine on the interrogation chair, while Gao Qiang was sitting behind the interrogation table sweating profusely with an unnatural pale face. Wu even noticed an unnatural trace of fear on Gao Qiang's face.
"Captain Gao, what's wrong?" Wu asked out of concern and curiosity.
"He attacked the police just now!" Gao Qiang shouted, pointing at Su Chen.
"Attacked the police?" Wu looked at Su Chen sitting on the interrogation chair warily, but saw Su Chen sitting calmly on the chair, even the shackles were so clearly fastened to the chair.
This interrogation chair was fixed to the floor, how could Su Chen attack the police when he's fixed to the interrogation chair?
"Captain Gao, could you have made a mistake?" Wu couldn't help but ask.
"He attacked just now, go and retrieve the video footage, I want to report him until he's jailed for life!" Gao Qiang's eyes lit up, realizing there were surveillance recordings in the interrogation room!
Wu: "..."
No recordings in Interrogation Room No. 5, Captain Gao, you probably forgot what you had originally planned, haven't you?
"Captain Gao, this is Interrogation Room No. 5, there's no video surveillance..." Wu said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Gao Qiang finally realized that he chose Interrogation Room No. 5 because it had no surveillance, the perfect chance to teach Su Chen a lesson.
Unexpectedly, he ended up shooting himself in the foot.
"No surveillance... Wu, this guy really attacked the police just now, and I can't swallow this anger, will you help out?" Gao Qiang, realizing he couldn't handle Su Chen alone, intended to pull Wu into it.
Su Chen might manage one, but not two, right?
Besides, how could he possibly have the guts to confront two policen?!
There's no video of the incident just now since there's no surveillance in Interrogation Room No. 5, and this grudge can't be settled.
Wu knew Gao Qiang's temperant, and he feared that if he didn't join Gao Qiang today, his future days would be tough.
He looked at Su Chen with pity; today, Su Chen was bound to suffer a hard ti.
On close observation, he didn't believe Su Chen had the capability to make Gao Qiang suffer.
First, Su Chen wasn't particularly robust, moreover, he was still shackled to the interrogation chair, under such circumstances, where would he find the strength to attack the police? It was completely baseless.
"Gao Qiang, you are a Law Enforcer, must you disregard the law?" Su Chen asked in a calm and composed manner.
Gao Qiang smiled contemptuously at the words: "So what if I disregard the law? What evidence do you have? There's no surveillance in this room, if there was, do you think you'd escape punishnt for what you just did? I'm rely returning the favor!"
Gao Qiang spoke through gritted teeth, he didn't feel he was wrong, as a Law Enforcer, even if he did sothing to Su Chen, it was well deserved; he would at most face a penalty for misconduct.
"Alright, I'm sitting here, try to kill if you dare." Su Chen's serious expression suddenly changed to a cheeky grin, as if he didn't care what he was about to face.
"You've got guts. Then I'll let you taste the feeling of a stone shattering chest first!" Gao Qiang placed a stack of books on Su Chen's chest.
He didn't have the strength of Su Chen's hands, relying solely on the power of his fists to strike the books was too weak.
So Gao Qiang fetched a hamr, he grinned mischievously at Su Chen: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you."
"Pfft..." The light sound of the hamr striking the books echoed in the silent Interrogation Room No. 5.
Yet Su Chen acted like nothing was amiss, his expression unchanged under the continuous hamring.
But Gao Qiang wasn't Su Chen, he couldn't control the strength well; he felt the impact was already strong, applying a little more force might cause internal bleeding, or even death, so he switched to using Water Torture on Su Chen.
Layer upon layer of rice paper and water dripped onto Su Chen's face.
Before Su Chen could even tear through the second layer, the third one was added, making the soaked rice paper even harder to tear through.
Before long, Su Chen's face was covered with twenty sheets of rice paper.
One minute, two minutes... five minutes...
Su Chen remained still.
Once the thrill of revenge faded, what surged in Gao Qiang's heart was boundless fear.
The person... couldn't be dead, right?
