Armor: Shura appears at the beginning

Just as everyone was lost in thought, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Three men in police uniforms suddenly broke into the Happy House. Their eyes were fixed directly on Shi Lei, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and subtle.

"Director?!"

Shi Lei cried out in astonishment. He never expected that his boss would appear at this critical moment and intervene in the matter in a way that he could not understand at all.

However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations.

The chief's face was gloomy, and he gave a brief and forceful order to the police officer beside him: "Take him away."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving everyone present stunned.

Who to arrest?

Why arrest Shi Lei?

This usually upright and brave policeman has now become a person of suspicion.

There was an uproar in the Happy House, and everyone was speechless at this sudden turn of events.

Shi Lei was held tightly by two police officers, looking at the departing chief in disbelief, his heart filled with doubt and confusion. He tried to struggle, but knew that any resistance was futile in this situation, so he could only let himself be taken away.

"Chief, there must be a misunderstanding here! I just came here to eat ramen, why was I arrested?"

There was a hint of anxiety and helplessness in Shi Lei's voice, but the director did not stop and did not give any explanation.

......

The atmosphere in the Happy House froze instantly. Ma Lingling and others looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion at this sudden event.

They had originally planned to work with Shi Lei to track down clues about the suspected prisoner who had escaped from prison, but they did not expect things to develop to this point.

"We have to find out what's going on!" Duanmu Yan was the first to break the silence, her eyes firm and sharp, "We can't just let Shi Lei be taken away without knowing why."

Everyone nodded in agreement and began to discuss countermeasures. They realized that there might be more complicated conspiracies and misunderstandings behind this.

In order to rescue Shi Lei and uncover the truth, they must act immediately.

At the same time, Shi Lei, who was taken away, was secretly thinking about how to prove his innocence. He knew that he had not done anything illegal and had never thought of evading responsibility.

He firmly believed that as long as he could find enough evidence to prove his innocence, he would be able to clear his name.

However, the current predicament made him feel unprecedented pressure and challenges.

He didn't know what kind of scrutiny and interrogation he would face, nor did he know whether he would be able to successfully find the real murderer.

But what he knew was that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges were, he had to persevere until the day when the truth came to light.

......

Police station

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was solemn. Although Shi Lei had recovered from the pain in his abdomen, his mood was far from calm.

As a leader in the police force and a team leader, he is now in such an embarrassing situation and was brought here by his colleagues in an unusual way. How could he not feel bitter and humiliated?

This embarrassment was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on his heart. Shi Lei thought over and over again, his loyalty and contributions to the police station over the years were obvious to all, so how could he have ever betrayed the police?

This series of events was really puzzling and dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem.

Just as he was lost in thought, the door of the interrogation room slowly opened. The director walked into the room steadily, holding a document in his hand, and finally sat down opposite Shi Lei.

The director remained silent, but the invisible pressure made the atmosphere even more solemn. Shi Lei couldn't suppress his inner anxiety and took the initiative to speak, trying to clarify everything:

"Director, I, Shi Lei, have a clear conscience and have never committed any illegal or disorderly acts. I have always been strict with myself and abided by the law. You know me best."

"Today, I went to Happy House just for a simple ramen dinner, nothing else."

However, the director did not respond immediately, but remained silent. At this delicate moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again, and Du Xiaomi appeared at the door.

His appearance should have been a comfort to Shi Lei, but her expression revealed something unusual. Shi Lei was about to ask, but he saw Du Xiaomi shook her head slightly and said to the director: "Director, Ajun is here."

This sentence, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, made the already complicated situation even more turbulent.

The corners of Shi Lei's mouth twitched unconsciously, and the panic in his heart surged like a tide. Du Xiaomi's expression and behavior made him feel unprecedentedly uneasy.

He muttered to himself: "Who on earth is this Ah Jun?"

The director nodded slightly, his tone calm but with unquestionable strength: "Let him in."

Not long after, under the guidance of Du Xiaomi, a middle-aged man walked into the room. His short hair was a little messy, and behind his black-framed glasses were a pair of angry eyes. His age seemed to be hovering between thirty and forty.

As soon as the man stepped into the threshold, he immediately pointed his finger at Shi Lei, his voice trembling with excitement: "It's him, absolutely true!"

He continued, almost shouting, "He broke into my room and took all my money!"

As soon as these words came out, Shi Lei's face instantly turned pale, his eyes full of disbelief. His heart was in turmoil:

I?

Burglary?

This is absolutely ridiculous!

"Me?" Shi Lei asked back, his voice filled with surprise and anger. "Break into your room? Steal money? Are you sure you're right? I'm not rich, but as the leader of the Nanbo City Special Case Investigation Team, how could I ruin my future and my reputation for a mere sum of money?"

"Give me back the money!" Ajun's emotions were almost out of control. If the police officer beside him hadn't held him tightly, he would have pounced on Shi Lei.

Upon seeing this, the chief waved his hand gently. The police officer immediately understood and took Ajun and Du Xiaomi out of the room, leaving the room full of shock and unsolved mysteries.

......

"boom--!"

The door of the interrogation room was heavily closed, isolating all the noise from the outside world. The director looked at Shi Lei, who stood up due to excitement, with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Please sit down."

"I... this is simply nonsense!" Shi Lei's tone was full of indignation and helplessness.

"This guy is absolutely crazy. I don't even know him. Where did this nonsense teller come from?" He said as he sat down hard, as if trying to vent his dissatisfaction.

The director was not moved by his emotions, but asked calmly: "Xiao Shi, what was your exact whereabouts between one and two o'clock this afternoon?"

Shi Lei was a little hesitant when he heard this, and it seemed that even he began to feel uncertain about his memory of this period of time. "I... I was eating ramen." There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

"Can anyone prove this?" the director asked, his tone revealing an unquestionable seriousness.

Shi Lei quickly responded: "Everyone in the ramen restaurant can testify. Duanmu Yan, Lingling and the others were together at the time, and we were also discussing the escaped prisoner. These are all facts, Director."

The director nodded slightly, but did not completely relax his vigilance. He continued to ask: "Then, can you be sure that you stayed with them throughout that hour and did not leave?"

Shi Lei thought for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember some important details, and quickly added: "Oh, right! I did leave for a while in the middle of the trip because I went to the toilet because my stomach was uncomfortable. However, I stayed in the toilet for a long time, but nothing happened, and finally I went back."

He described it in detail, hoping to dispel the director's doubts.

"Chief, I must clarify! The cause of my stomachache has been found. It was the escaped prisoner who was taking revenge on me. He disguised himself as a salesman before I went to the Happy House and made me drink poisoned water." Shi Lei explained anxiously, his eyes full of earnestness.

The director nodded slightly, indicating his understanding of the poisoning incident: "We are indeed investigating the poisoning. But the current situation is indeed quite tricky for you."

"Please tell me, what happened?" Shi Lei's voice was full of urgency and confusion. He wanted to know what happened in the outside world while he was in the Happy House, and why he was involved in this unfounded theft case.

The director slowly spoke: "Ajun, the guest who met with misfortune in the hotel, claimed that between 1 and 2 o'clock, someone broke into his room, assaulted him and stole yuan from him. Although he did not directly witness the thief's face, he mentioned a key clue - a brown windbreaker."

Having said that, the director deliberately paused and his eyes fell on Shi Lei's iconic brown windbreaker.

Shi Lei's expression instantly became complicated. He didn't need to lower his head to confirm, as he knew that this windbreaker was his symbol and also the "evidence" that pushed him to the forefront at this moment.

"But, Chief, how can you conclude that I am the criminal just based on a similar windbreaker?" Shi Lei argued almost in tears, "I really didn't do anything, I am innocent!"

The director looked solemn. He understood Shi Lei's injustice and helplessness, but as a law enforcer, he had to remain calm and fair: "Xiao Shi, I understand how you feel. But we must investigate based on the existing evidence. Your windbreaker is indeed a clue that cannot be ignored, but we will continue to investigate further and look for more evidence to restore the truth."

The director had already anticipated Shi Lei's reaction. He nodded calmly, then turned on the screen and played a key piece of evidence - a surveillance video taken from the hotel.

In the picture, a figure is vaguely visible. Although the face is blurry, he is wearing a brown windbreaker that cannot be ignored, and his body outline is surprisingly similar to that of someone else.

What is even more striking is that the man's hairstyle coincides with someone else's iconic braid behind the head. This detail undoubtedly deepens the uniqueness and recognition of his identity.

Shi Lei's face instantly darkened. The brown windbreaker might just be a preference for him, but within the police force, that unique braid was like a distinctive badge that irreplaceably labeled him.

This situation undoubtedly pushed his identity into a delicate situation, making everyone present feel the tension and uneasiness in the air.
