Noon.

More police cars began to return, and the previously cleared case handling center busied once again.

Most of the people brought back barely qualified as suspects; they were still considered civilians, so they were taken to inquiry rooms rather than interrogation rooms.

Compared to interrogation rooms, inquiry rooms are much cozier, generally equipped with a sofa to sit on, water to drink, and even the rare sight of an interrogating officer’s smile. Here, no handcuffs are placed on the wrists, nor is there a safety belt-like chain around one’s chest. In short, the basic dignity of a person is still maintained.

Most people entering the inquiry room would just share stories from the past and complete a written record, and that would be it. Those with unresolved questions would continue recording statements, repeatedly asked, and gradually it would lean closer to an interrogation.

Bringing people to the police station for inquiry is for the seriousness of the process.

When a person is at home, at work, or outdoors, they tend to spout nonsense as if lying comes at no cost.

In fact, it hardly does cost anything, but it’s different in a police station.

Every sentence spoken inside the police station is recorded, repeatedly questioned, further and more politely probed, before being sternly interrogated.

The few who have relocated to other places were also taken to local police stations for questioning, following the rule of calling for minor cases and visiting for major ones. The Jianmen Court case is a well-known serious case for the Beijing Bureau, and the officers responsible for bringing people in were extremely cautious, even on the phone, for fear of alerting the suspect.

The result was… hardly noticeable.
