Fresh green forests, tender green lawns, and golden rays of the morning sun shone through the treetops.
Reinitz stood sideways and maintained the position of holding Gu Nianzhi's hand. His warm palm felt soft and smooth, but it was a bit cold, like he was holding a piece of jade.
His gaze gradually fell on Gu Nianzhi's head, which was wrapped in a scarf, and he pondered how to pull a strand of hair without alerting Gu Nianzhi.
Not far away, the shouts of the police came from all directions.
Gu Nianzhi didn't waste even a second. She quickly stuffed the gun into Reinitz's hand and rubbed it. She turned around and crouched on the ground, covering her head as she yelled, "Help! (Help!) "
Before Reinitz could react, a police officer rushed out of the woods and pointed a gun at him.
“Freeze！ (Don't move!) "
Gu Nianzhi hugged her head and cried. She kept screaming like a frightened little girl.
The policemen, who always arrived later, felt a sense of heroism.
A policewoman pointed her gun in Reinitz's direction as she moved to Gu Nianzhi's side. She slowly squatted down, then abruptly pulled Gu Nianzhi up and shielded her behind her.
The gun in Reinitz's hand was still pointed in the direction of the man in black on the ground. In the eyes of the police, not only did he kill the man in black on the ground, but he also attempted to kill the pitiful, weak, and helpless young lady, Gu Nianzhi …
“Drop
gun！
up！ (Put down the gun! Raise your hands!) "
The police ordered Reinitz loudly, the guns in his hands loaded.
As soon as Reinitz made a move, they wouldn't hesitate to open fire and shoot him full of holes.
For the first time, Reinitz felt that things were out of his control. He closed his eyes with a bitter smile and threw the gun in his hand onto the grass. He raised his hands and said slowly, "I want to call my lawyer. I'm here to save this lady. She's being chased by the people on the ground. "
"You can call your lawyer, but right now, you have to come back to the police station with us." A police officer walked over with a stern face and handcuffed Reinitz.
Gu Nianzhi peeked her head out from behind the policewoman and looked at Reinitz with a panicked expression. Her plump lips opened and closed slightly, as though she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to say it.
Reinitz looked back at her deeply and said, "Miss, are you willing to testify for me?"
Gu Nianzhi was so scared that she retracted her head again. She hugged her arms and muttered, "It's … It's that man in black who wants to kill me …"
The policeman looked at her in surprise and said, "Just now, you squatted on the ground and shouted for help."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and whispered, "I heard the gunshots and was very scared … I didn't react in time …"
Reinitz's eyes flashed. If his reaction just now was called not reacting, then his reaction was really slow.
However, from the police's point of view, what Gu Nianzhi had said was normal for girls her age. The policewoman patted her shoulder sympathetically and said, "Don't be afraid. We'll protect you."
However, because of what Gu Nianzhi had said, the police were much more polite to Reinitz. They didn't point their guns at him anymore and also removed his handcuffs.
Because Gu Nianzhi was considered a witness and was also at the scene, she was taken by the police and Reinitz to the nearby police station.
"Can you repeat what happened just now?"
Because Reinitz refused to say anything, the police had no choice but to cross-examine Gu Nianzhi as a witness.
Gu Nianzhi bit her lip and turned pale. She began to recount what had happened in broken English.
She didn't blame everything on Reinitz. After all, she wanted to "initiate the attack." If Reinitz was sent to jail, how was she supposed to act?
Therefore, she truthfully recounted everything that had happened before. She only left out the part where Reinitz pressed down on her finger and killed the man in black. She only said that Reinitz had snatched the gun from the man's hand and shot him to death.
When Gu Nianzhi stuffed the gun back into Reinitz's hand, she had already wiped off the fingerprints on it. The police could only find Reinitz's fingerprints on the gun.
As for the man in black, Gu Nianzhi remembered that he seemed to be wearing gloves..
She had indeed "set Reinitz up" by doing this, but wasn't Reinitz also setting her up by pressing her finger and shooting her?
If it weren't for her quick reaction, she and Reinitz would both be suspected of murder now.
Now that she was a witness and could prove that Reinitz had saved someone and defended himself, his problems would be much smaller.
The police didn't completely believe her, but they didn't doubt her either. Several people took turns interrogating her.
Gu Nianzhi was annoyed. She thought to herself, "If I don't speak, you won't dare to ask. Are you picking on the weak?"
However, she was now pretending to be a "pitiful, weak, and helpless" ignorant girl. She couldn't show off her full aura and act like a lawyer..
Just as she was feeling regretful, she suddenly heard the door to the interrogation room open with a click. Lu Yuan, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walked in like an elite. He was accompanied by two serious-looking white men in the same suit and leather shoes.
The two white men were holding briefcases in their hands. One of them said, "This is the CEO of our Lu Corporation, President Lu. I'm his lawyer."
The other said, "I'm the lawyer hired by President Lu to represent this lady. Please don't continue to break the law and pester my client."
Lu Yuan's face was livid. "Is this the level of the NYPD?! What law did my friend break? Instead of arresting those who tried to hurt her, you interrogated her as a suspect! "
Gu Nianzhi burst into tears and threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms.
The NYPD police officer was very embarrassed and quickly said, "This lady is a witness. We just want to figure out what happened."
"Since when can a police officer be a judge? If you want to figure out what happened, shouldn't you investigate it yourselves? My client has suffered a great shock. After we go back for a psychiatric evaluation, we'll discuss how to sue the NYPD for improper law enforcement! "
The lawyer Lu Yuan had hired for Gu Nianzhi said righteously.
Gu Nianzhi tugged at Lu Yuan's shirt and whispered, "… A man saved me today, but he was arrested as a suspect."
"Oh? Really? "Lu Yuan quickly pretended to be concerned." Who is it? Can I see him? I want to thank him. "
The police officer who had interrogated Gu Nianzhi said reluctantly, "He's a major suspect. He can't see anyone right now."
"Oh? He can't even see a lawyer? "One of the white lawyers standing next to Lu Yuan said sarcastically.
Gu Nianzhi whispered again, "I heard that man say he was going to call his lawyer …"
The police officer: "…"
Lu Yuan snorted and led Gu Nianzhi out of the interrogation room.
When they arrived at the parking lot and were about to get into the car, they saw Reinitz's lawyer pick him up.
The two of them walked in their direction as they spoke.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at Reinitz and said, "That's the person who saved me."
Lu Yuan smiled and walked over. He reached out his hand to Reinitz and said, "Thank you, sir, for saving my friend." He then took the initiative to say, "Miss Gu came to New York with me. We live in an apartment near Central Park. Please come to my house when you have time. I'll definitely treat you well."
This calmly explained the reason why Gu Nianzhi had appeared in the top-of-the-line luxury area near Central Park.
Reinitz looked up at him and didn't shake his hand. He just nodded casually and said, "You're welcome. As a man, I would have saved someone in that situation."
He looked at Gu Nianzhi, who was cowering behind Lu Yuan, and asked with a faint smile, "You two live together? Is she your girlfriend? "
Lu Yuan laughed heartily. "Of course not. Look at our age. How could we be boyfriend and girlfriend? Actually, Miss Gu is a partner of our company. She came to New York for an inspection. "
