Chapter 195: Drug Addiction Acting Up?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Damn!?”
“Is this for real? Drugs on this child?”
“You guys have no conscience!”
It wasn’t until they got off the high-speed train and had the people sent into the ambulance that Zhou Qiang addressed the couple they had pulled along with them.
The couple had no idea what Zhou Qiang was talking about. Upon hearing his words, they were left dumbfounded. The woman, who had been trapped for so long and was now being questioned out of the blue, was already irritated. When she heard Zhou Qiang’s words, she rolled her eyes.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Officer.”
“Is it right to just arrest us like this because I scolded you a bit?”
“If all police officers are like you… Is there any justice left in this world?”
“And… Where did you put my son? How dare you send him away in an ambulance! Bring him back!”
The woman’s hands were handcuffed, and another officer had grabbed her shoulders, restraining her. But at this moment, her face contorted with anger. She rushed towards Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang, cursing all the while.
There was a hint of fear in her eyes, as she was worried that her own situation might be discovered by someone else.
Zhou Qiang already trusted Su Xuan, but he had some doubts about whether these two individuals were as bad as they seemed. When he saw the woman’s behavior, he became suspicious. He glanced at Su Xuan and quickly believed what he said.
He turned to his colleague and said, “Let’s go, take them into the car!”
“No, you can’t arrest me! Let me go!”
“Xiao Zhi, my Xiao Zhi…”
“Where have you taken my Xiao Zhi? Give him back to me!”
When Zhou Qiang spoke, the woman started shouting at him. It was a loud cry, as if she were accusing them of doing something heartless. Zhou Qiang watched her and quietly asked Su Xuan.
“I mean, Su Xuan…”
“Are you sure about this? The way she’s acting…”
“Could it be that we’ve misunderstood?”
“And just now, didn’t that child say these two are his uncle and aunt?”
“Even if they’re really drug dealers…”
“Wouldn’t it be too much to harm their own nephew?”
Su Xuan gave Zhou Qiang a puzzled look. “What are you saying?”
“Drugs, gambling, and prostitution, once you get involved with these three things, you lose your humanity,” Zhou Qiang replied. “Who knows what they might do to achieve their goals? And besides, this is just speculation for now. We’ll have to wait for the hospital’s results. Rather than that, I’d prefer to take them to the station and question them thoroughly.”
Su Xuan’s words were like a bolt of lightning in the dark night, dispersing the confusion in Zhou Qiang’s mind. He nodded quickly, saying, “Yes, the priority now is to interrogate them. If this incident is indeed related to drugs, we may have to hand it over to a specialized department.”
Su Xuan also nodded in agreement. Without further ado, they took the suspects to the police station. The woman, who had been arrogant before, fell silent as soon as they entered the station’s gates. She clearly hadn’t expected Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang to actually bring them to the police station.
Inside the interrogation room, the woman hugged her head, trembling all over. Her once arrogant expression had turned into one of fear and anxiety after just a few minutes in the interrogation room. She was shaking so badly, and sweat soaked her entire body. To onlookers, she appeared to be in a state of panic, almost like a fit of madness.
“What fit of madness!” Su Xuan slammed the table. “It’s her withdrawal symptom! Quickly, restrain her!”
The officers in the interrogation room were nearly scared out of their wits. They watched as Su Xuan stood up, pounded the table, and then rushed toward the woman. Finally, they reacted and joined in to help.
They grabbed hold of the woman, who, although not speaking, was struggling fiercely, attempting to break free from their grasp.
“Damn! She’s incredibly strong!”
“I can’t hold her down at all. Damn, damn!”
“Quick, we need more people to keep her restrained!”
“Su Xuan, where are you going?” One officer managed to restrain the woman and noticed Su Xuan moving away from them and heading toward the door. Su Xuan’s sudden action almost sent the officer flying.
He quickly called out, “Su Xuan, where are you going?”
“I’m going to check on the other one,” Su Xuan said as he reached the door, hearing the commotion inside, he quickly turned to look. “If this person is having withdrawal symptoms, the other one might be too. I need to see.”
“Restrain them while I go get sedatives,” Su Xuan added.
“Sedatives?” The officer who struggled to hold down the woman nodded in agreement. Initially hesitant to let Su Xuan go, now he wanted him out of there as soon as possible.
“Hurry up, get someone to bring sedatives!”
“Man, dealing with someone in a drug-induced frenzy is seriously unnerving…”
“We have so many people here, and we can barely keep them under control!”
Su Xuan nodded firmly. Even his colleagues had never encountered criminals in the grip of drug addiction before. There was no time to waste.
“Okay, hold on for a bit longer. I’ll be back soon.”
Su Xuan quickly made his way to the room where the man was being held. As expected, he could hear the chaotic sounds from inside as soon as he opened the door. He just opened the door slightly and then closed it again.
There was no point. He might as well go find the sedatives first.
The door closed with a thud.
“Wow, did I hear the door open?”
“This guy is unbelievably strong…”
“I swear, we need to call the detox center for this…”
While trying to keep the suspect, Zhou Qiang, restrained, he glanced sideways and saw the closed door.
“Are you sure? Maybe you’re mistaken?”
“Instead of wondering if the door is open, focus on holding this guy down, you idiot!”
“Quick, I’ll go find someone to administer the sedative…”
It wasn’t until both suspects had been sedated and calmed down that Zhou Qiang finally slumped onto the couch. He looked at Su Xuan standing in front of him, utterly perplexed.
“Wow,” Zhou Qiang exclaimed, “What’s going on with these two? Did they actually use drugs themselves? Damn, they went berserk suddenly, and we almost couldn’t restrain them! Thank goodness for the handcuffs.”
He looked up at Su Xuan’s serious face and continued, “Thank goodness you called for help. Xiao Yuan even thought she heard the door opening, but I said it wasn’t…”
Su Xuan nodded, his expression grave. “This situation is troublesome. I’m afraid we’ll have to transfer it to the Criminal Investigation Department.”
After ensuring both suspects were fully subdued, they proceeded to inspect the belongings they had with them. Soon, the hospital’s report arrived, confirming Su Xuan’s suspicions.
Most of the drugs were concealed inside Xiao Zhi’s rectum.
“Damn it!” Zhou Qiang cursed, “These people are inhuman!”
