Due to a shortage of personnel at the Disciplinary Committee, and with the matter only at the investigation stage, it wasn't appropriate to detain anyone yet. So, they brought everyone back to the police department for individual interrogations.
Zhang Zhixiang and Yan Jing were the first to be brought back, and the first to be interrogated.
Director Ma took personal charge: "Name..."
After the routine inquiry of identity information, Director Ma asked, "Do you know why you were arrested?"
This is the police's most common tactic—intimidation!
As long as the person has any guilt, this generic phrase will definitely work.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Yan Jing became flustered, her eyes darting everywhere, avoiding direct eye contact with Director Ma.
After a long while, she finally said, "No, I don't know."
"Bang!" Director Ma gently tapped the table; the sound was not loud, yet it startled Yan Jing.
