Chapter 1410 - 1425: Lin Mu’s Scheme
That’s right, he really couldn’t be moved. Lin Mu seemed to have taken root in the ground. No matter how hard the police tried, they couldn’t move him.
Lin Mu chuckled, then gently released a wave of Inner Strength, an invisible airflow knocking the three or five officers surrounding him to the ground.
"Oh my gosh."
The officers cried out in pain as they hit the ground.
"Hey, you really are useless. Are you guys still cops?" Lin Mu spread his hands and said.
"Are you here to cause trouble?" asked the officer who spoke earlier, looking at Lin Mu.
"Haha, no, I’m just here to pick someone up. I’ve said it already, if you have evidence, do what you want. If not, let them go," Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Whether there is evidence or not is none of your business. That’s for us police to decide," the officer retorted coldly.
"Alright then, I’ll just cause a scene here until you feel like showing the evidence," Lin Mu said with a smile.
"You want evidence, do you?" At this moment, a police officer emerged from the office and looked at Lin Mu.
"Yes, that’s right, I want evidence," Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Alright, since you want evidence, take a look. Big Li, bring him to the interrogation room," the officer instructed before turning back into the office.
The officer named Big Li glanced at Lin Mu and said, "Come with me, but I have to tell you, the guy with the scar you’re looking to pick up won’t ever be getting out."
"Ha, really? Whether he can get out isn’t up to you," Lin Mu said indifferently.
"Alright, let’s just wait and see if things go how I say they will. Caught with his hands in the cookie jar, even if the king of heaven comes, it won’t help," Big Li said.
"Fine, today you’ll have to face reality," Lin Mu chuckled. Let’s see if you still hold onto him.
Soon, under Officer Li’s guidance, Lin Mu and Haihua arrived at the interrogation room.
Inside the interrogation room, two policemen were interrogating the scarred man.
"Dad, are you okay?" Haihua dashed forward seeing the scarred man.
"I’m fine, I’m fine," the scarred man reassured Haihua.
"Okay, this is an interrogation room. The criminal can’t have too much physical contact with relatives," said the interrogating officer.
"Inspector Zhao, these two say the scarred man is innocent. So, let’s show them the evidence, and maybe they’ll leave willingly," Officer Big Li said to a police officer sitting at the interrogation table.
Inspector Zhao nodded and instructed a nearby officer, "Show them the white powder we’ve confiscated. Let’s not delay the interrogation process."
The nearby officer nodded, then left the interrogation room, returning within minutes holding a small bag of white powder.
"See that? This drug was found in the nightclub’s liquor store. If there’s nothing else, please leave quickly," Officer Li said to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu chuckled, "Is this a drug? It doesn’t look like it to me."
"Aren’t we more knowledgeable about what drugs look like than you?" Inspector Zhao said displeased, clearly taking it as a challenge to his competency.
"Heh, maybe you are or maybe you’re not, but it should be tested. Let’s speak with facts," Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Fine, if you want to make things clear, let’s make them as clear as day," Inspector Zhao sneered as he opened the bag of white powder. He seemed confident since he had arranged for the powder to be placed there, so he knew the truth better than anyone else.
"You know how to test this stuff, right?" Inspector Zhao laughed as he looked at Lin Mu.
"Of course, I do," Lin Mu smiled slightly, then took the bag from Inspector Zhao, pinched a small amount between his fingers, placed it in his mouth, smacked his lips, and nodded knowingly, "Hmm, where is this flour from? It’s got a nice taste, hasn’t expired yet!"
Upon hearing this, Inspector Zhao sneered, "Flour? Are you stupid? Do you know what drugs taste like?"
"What? You want to pass off flour as drugs? If so, maybe check the supermarket; I’m sure there’s plenty," Lin Mu joked.
"Flour?" Inspector Zhao looked at Lin Mu like he was a fool. "Heh, do you say this is flour?"
"Yes, what else would it be if not flour?" Lin Mu nodded.
"Heh, are you stupid, confusing drugs for flour? Ha, this guy really is a character," Inspector Zhao laughed at Lin Mu with the other officers, as if he were an idiot. They all followed suit, laughing, treating Lin Mu as a fool. They were convinced it was drugs; how could it suddenly be flour? That was absurd.
Lin Mu wasn’t upset by Inspector Zhao’s words because soon, Inspector Zhao would realize who the real fool was.
"To know if it’s flour, you should try it yourself. You’ve never tasted drugs, but you’ve tasted flour all your life," Lin Mu said smiling.
Inspector Zhao laughed lightly, then took the bag of white powder, pinched a small amount, and put it in his mouth.
As he did, he cast a disdainful glance at Lin Mu, as if to show him how he could taste the difference.
But when he placed the flour in his mouth and tasted it, his expression changed dramatically, becoming incredibly unpleasant, mixed with disbelief. Yes, this was indeed flour and not drugs; it’s truly authentic flour!
"How is this possible?" Inspector Zhao suddenly stood from his chair, the previous smug look gone.
"Heh, Inspector Zhao, you aren’t the fool. You’ve tasted it. Do you say it’s flour or drugs?" Lin Mu chuckled, looking at Inspector Zhao.
At this moment, Inspector Zhao felt completely baffled and foolish. It was definitely flour! But it was clearly supposed to be drugs, so how did it turn into flour? Was someone tampering with it?
"Did you tamper with it?" Inspector Zhao’s gaze snapped to Lin Mu, eyes burning with anger as if wanting to throttle him if he was indeed responsible.
Lin Mu, of course, remained completely unflustered, calmly spreading his hands, "Inspector Zhao, you’ve got it wrong, haven’t you? Are you just frustrated or has your brain malfunctioned? I tampered with it? You have to understand, I’ve been here the whole time and never moved. Even when I took a pinch to taste, I would conjure some magic to turn it into flour?"
Inspector Zhao glared at Lin Mu fiercely. While he was suspicious, Lin Mu had remained there, not leaving, and everyone had been watching him. Tampering would have been impossible.
