Wrong Interrogation Room, The First Cracked Case Shocked the World

Chapter 64: Memory Palace + Micro-expression Analysis, Supreme Skill!

Snapped!

A crisp snap of fingers echoed in the room.

Zhao Luowei stared at Ning Cheng's slender fingers, a brief trance settling over her.

Three seconds. Enough time to change everything.

Ning Cheng snatched the pistol from Zhao Luowei's grasp, his hand a blur of motion, and pointed it at her forehead.

"Wake up!"

Three seconds later, Zhao Luowei jolted awake, the cold metal of the pistol pressing against her skin.

The pistol, hers just moments ago, was now in Ning Cheng's hand.

"How?" Zhao Luowei's eyes widened, disbelief flooding her features. "How did my pistol get into your hands? What did you do to me?"

She was sharp, quickly realizing the anomaly in her mental state, the manipulation at play.

"What do you think?" Ning Cheng smiled, a hint of triumph in his eyes.

"You hypnotized me?" Zhao Luowei narrowed her eyes, the answer forming in her mind. "You counted three seconds, and the fingers that followed my eyes... it was hypnosis, wasn't it?"

"You're right," Ning Cheng confirmed, "but unfortunately, there's no reward for guessing."

"Shameless!" Zhao Luowei glared at him, her voice laced with anger. "You said you'd only snap your fingers after counting three times!"

"But you snapped your fingers just after saying that!"

"No, in that sentence, I happened to count down 3, 2, 1, but you didn't notice it!"

Ning Cheng didn't bother explaining, cutting straight to the point. "Tell me, what's the safe password?"

"You won't get a single word out of me!" Zhao Luowei's glare intensified, her hatred for Ning Cheng burning bright.

She had fallen for his tricks before, been manipulated, and she hated that feeling more than anything.

"You're not afraid? Do you think, as a policeman, I can't get the safe code without resorting to torture?" Ning Cheng asked, his tone unwavering.

"You dare touch me?" Zhao Luowei scoffed. "The moment you tried to test me with a breakthrough relationship, you were tied up, your flaws exposed! A principled policeman like you, holding back your indifference in the face of a stunner like me, would attack me?"

Ning Cheng's smile turned cold. "This isn't a police station, what do you think?"

"It's not the police station, so you dare to do this to me, use torture to extract a confession?" Zhao Luowei retorted. "I'll be in the police station sooner or later. When I'm detained, I'll apply for a lawyer's injury examination. As long as there's the slightest injury on my body, your police uniform will be removed!"

"You know the law very well," Ning Cheng acknowledged calmly. "Is it because I've been in a state of insecurity for so long that I've learned the legal provisions?"

Zhao Luowei stated confidently, "Of course, I know the law very well. As long as you do anything that violates the judicial process, I'll also apply for a lawyer to sue you when you enter the police station!"

Zhao Luowei was right. If Ning Cheng attacked her, causing injuries and being discovered by a lawyer, he would face a lawsuit and potential expulsion.

But that didn't mean he had no other options.

Ning Cheng glanced at the skill labels on his system panel—world-class micro-expression analysis experience.

This skill, acquired through his police station check-ins, was about to come into play.
