Free Web NovelChapter 1327: Chapter 1322: If I Cooperate, Will You Cut Me Some Slack?
In the police station, Harry Zachary explained with an innocent look on his face, "Officer, there must be a mistake. How could there be contraband in my car?"
"We’ll know if it’s a mistake after testing!" The captain glanced at him coldly and pinched a bit of powder to sniff.
"Officer, someone must be framing me..." Harry Zachary argued persistently. He never touched contraband, but there were plenty of people in the circle who did. Not being involved didn’t mean he hadn’t seen it. In fact, when he saw the police find the item in the compartment of his car door, he had a rough idea of what it was.
"Framing?" The captain put the powder back into the small plastic bag and flicked his fingers with a sneer, "Are you implying we planted it? Let me tell you, be honest with me. We carry recorders when we enforce the law!"
"No, no, that’s not what I meant," Harry Zachary hastily explained. The smile disappeared from the captain’s lips, and his expression turned serious as he tossed the white bag in front of Harry Zachary.
"Possessing more than fifty grams of heroin without permission leads to seven years to life imprisonment. We found exactly fifty grams in your car. You’d better think about the consequences yourself."
"This..."
Harry Zachary was stunned. "Officer, this really isn’t mine. I have no idea how it got hidden in my car!"
"You don’t know? Then are you saying that my subordinates and I framed you?" The captain scolded righteously with a sharp look in his eyes. "I’ve dealt with you drug carriers enough to know none of you will confess easily!"
Harry Zachary...
Hesitated for a moment and weakly asked, "Can I make a phone call?"
The captain gave him a glance, sneered, and neither approved nor opposed. Harry Zachary fished his phone out of his jacket pocket, but before he could find the contact, Assistant Tang leisurely walked in.
"Is Assistant Zachary thinking of calling Director Croft? I suppose in his current situation, he might not be able to help you."
Seeing Tang Assistant suddenly appear before him, Harry Zachary suddenly realized what was going on.
"It’s you! You all framed me!"
"Assistant Zachary, be careful with your words. This is a law-governed society, and slander can lead to lawsuits. Without evidence, you cannot make baseless accusations."
Assistant Tang sat down beside the captain, and it was obvious they were on the same team. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"It must be you!" Harry Zachary became agitated, pointing at Assistant Tang’s nose and gritting his teeth, "If you hadn’t framed me, then why did this show up in my car after I met with Director Croft?"
Assistant Tang raised an eyebrow dismissively, ignoring Harry Zachary’s accusation and turned to the captain beside him.
"Captain Li, I reserve the right to sue Mr. Harry Zachary for slander, and you will need to testify for me then."
Captain Li stared coldly at Harry Zachary and said righteously, "Rest assured, the law will not wrong a good person, nor will it let a bad person go. As law enforcers, we will certainly handle this impartially!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"With your assurance, I can relax." Assistant Tang smiled lightly, while across the table, Harry Zachary felt entirely disheartened. The two opposite them were clearly colluding, and today, he truly had no way to argue his case.
The other side was determined to deal with him, and with "irrefutable evidence," even hiring a lawyer might not ensure escape from legal responsibility.
In such a life-or-death situation, people naturally prioritize their own interests and safety first. Harry Zachary squinted and directly asked, "Assistant Tang, if I cooperate with Director Croft, will you let me off?"
