Chapter 82 The Siege of Taxi
Chapter 82 The Siege of Taxi
The interrogation room at Wan Chai Police Station was dimly lit.
The driver, nicknamed Blind Hui, had already spent some time in the detention room and felt confident that he was in charge again, so he stuck out his neck and shouted.
"Officer, you need evidence to arrest someone!"
"That's a reasonable claim!"
Chen Yuan tapped the table, and Zhou Xingxing immediately understood, slamming the three transcripts onto the table with a "bang".
"The person complained that you pushed them as soon as you approached them. Is that true?"
"He doesn't want to pay you, and you still want to hit him?!"
Blind Hui sneered.
"Officer, does he mean whatever he says?"
"I already said that five thousand is a reasonable claim, to compensate for the loss of my brother's car."
"Meow meow!"
Stephen Chow stood up abruptly, braced his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward, and wore an exaggeratedly sarcastic expression on his face.
"What kind of car charges 5,000 for a light bump to the rear?"
"Even Heiji wouldn't dare shout like that!"
"He scared my brother."
Blind Hui is still stubbornly holding on.
"Can't you offer compensation for emotional distress?"
"Yeah?"
Stephen Chow smiled smugly, pulled out two of the three transcripts, and read them aloud as he looked at them.
"But your two good brothers said that it was you who threatened people."
"Another one said that you instructed him to demand five thousand."
After he finished reading, he threw the transcript on the table and crossed his arms.
"Confess now, whether you conspired to extort money or not. Otherwise, you are the mastermind and the other two are accomplices."
"Can you handle it?"
Upon hearing this, Blind Hui's face turned pale instantly, and he cursed inwardly.
Those two bastards actually dared to sell him!
And they even tried to pin the blame on him!
Just as he was hesitating about whether to confess honestly, a piercing car horn sounded faintly outside the police station.
Then came the second tone, the third tone...
Blind Hui was stunned for a moment, then straightened his back instantly, his previous panic replaced by a look of relief.
With a hint of malice on his face, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said with an air of arrogance.
"Sir, I'm not admitting it anyway."
"As for my two brothers that you just mentioned, I suspect that you used torture to extract their confessions."
"I will definitely file a complaint against you after I get out of here."
Stephen Chow frowned. How could this guy change so quickly?
"You still want to go out?"
He replied instinctively, then noticed the increasingly loud horn noises outside the window.
Zhou Xingxing turned to look at Chen Yuan.
"Inspector Chen, outside..."
......
Outside the police station.
Initially, there were only a few taxis parked diagonally on the side of the road, and the drivers got out to smoke and look around.
But the news had already spread like wildfire on the public channel of the walkie-talkie.
"Blind Hui, Glasses Ming, and Da Sheng have been detained by the Wan Chai Police Station!"
"What happened?"
"Mr. Glasses' car was rear-ended, and he demanded five thousand from the driver. The police accused him of extortion!"
"The cops are clearly bullying us experts!"
"All brothers in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, head to the Wan Chai Police Station right now! We can't let our brothers be bullied like this!"
Within just thirty minutes, more than fifty red taxis surged in from all directions.
One after another, they cut in front of each other, rudely blocking all the entrances and lanes of the police station.
More drivers got out of their cars, most of them wearing t-shirts or vests, and gathered together.
They rhythmically pounded on the car doors and hood, making loud "bang bang" noises.
Someone was holding a walkie-talkie and playing the shouts and curses of drivers from other areas at maximum volume.
Many others pointed directly at the figures inside the police station's glass doors, shouting profanities and hurling insults.
"Release them! Release them immediately!"
"You think you're so tough, huh? Extortion? Where's the evidence?!"
"No one is getting in or out of here today unless we release our brothers!"
"You damn cop, come out here if you dare!"
Curses, horns, and the clanging of metal blended together into a chilling noise storm.
Several uniformed police officers who tried to step forward to persuade them were instantly surrounded and pushed by several burly drivers, who almost sprayed spittle in their faces.
"Go ahead and pull me if you dare!"
"Drag me in too!"
Their arrogant attitude and overbearing demeanor were no different from those of gangsters who showed off their horses.
Across the street, Cao Dahua, who had just dropped He Min off at home and rushed to the police station, got out of the car with a blank expression.
He was stunned by the chaotic scene before him.
He just took Teacher He home, so how did he end up like this when he came back?
Is this...is this a movie shoot?
......
Inside the police station, the phone lines were ringing off the hook.
Other police districts inquired whether they needed support, and superiors called to ask what was going on.
Huang Bingyao stood in the lobby on the first floor with a dark expression, looking at the dense crowd outside.
Chen Yuan led Zhou Xingxing out of the interrogation room.
Upon seeing this, his face also darkened.
Huang Bingyao noticed Chen Yuan but didn't say anything.
He already had a general understanding of the initial course of events, which stemmed from Chen Yuan arresting several drivers suspected of extortion.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Yuan is his nephew, Chen Yuan himself did nothing wrong in this matter!
What's more, these taxi drivers actually dared to be so arrogant as to surround the police station?!
This is practically slapping Huang Bingyao in the face in front of everyone!
The on-duty police officer jogged over, looking uneasy, with sweat beading on his forehead.
"Officer Wong, what... what do we do? There are too many of them!"
"What's the panic?!"
Huang Bingyao snorted heavily through his nose, his tone resolute.
"Get me the owner of Jinhui Auto Dealership right away."
Kam Fai Auto Dealership is a large auto dealership on Hong Kong Island, mainly operating in the Wan Chai and Central areas.
The call was quickly connected, and the police officer ran over with the phone in his hand.
Huang Bingyao cursed at the other end of the line with a sullen face, hung up the phone, and then called Zhida Auto Dealership.
This is also a large car dealership.
Huang Bingyao cursed a few more times before hanging up the phone.
The two car dealership owners sounded a little panicked when they heard that their men had surrounded the Wan Chai Police Station.
They are rich and have a lot of connections, but they can't stand their own people doing such a thing!
On the phone, they swore and vowed to immediately order their drivers to leave.
After receiving the assurance, Huang Bingyao's expression softened slightly, but it was still quite unpleasant.
This time, I've really lost face!
He had always known that these taxi drivers had a bad reputation.
Overcharging customers, refusing service, being unreasonable and domineering, etc.
But to my surprise, they actually dared to surround the police station!
This is absolutely outrageous!
However, as time passed, the crowd outside the window did not decrease; instead, several more unfamiliar faces appeared.
Even reporters were present at the scene.
Chen Yuan appeared beside Huang Bingyao, watched for a while, and then turned to leave.
Huang Bingyao called him back, his tone reassuring.
"Ah Yuan, don't overthink it. It's not your fault. It's just that these bastards are too arrogant."
"I'm fine."
Chen Yuan turned around, smiled at Huang Bingyao, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Inspector Wong, I'm just going to make a phone call."
