Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 173

He could understand and support the young policeman's desire to perform well, but this young policeman was really not smart.

What era was it now? How could anyone believe that?

As he had expected, the people inside did not open the door.

Joseph was not in a hurry. The suspect's cautious attitude just showed that he was likely to have done something illegal.

Otherwise, ordinary people would choose to open the door unconsciously even if they had some doubts in their minds.

"Now, wait here for half an hour." Joseph said to these policemen, "Remember not to make any noise."

Inside the apartment, Channing was relieved after finding that it was quiet outside. He closed his eyes and planned to sleep.

However, he tossed and turned, but couldn't fall asleep again.

After a long sleep, the wounds still hurt, and he was hungry.

He got up, went into the bathroom and washed. Then he came to the door and looked out through the door peephole.

He could see the opposite door clearly. Also, he saw no one outside clearly.

It seemed that that person had left. Channing opened the door as he thought about it.

Just now he thought over it carefully, and felt that it was very likely that Antonio had regretted and sent someone to in the hope of catching him. Now, it seemed that it should just be his imagination. Moreover, if Antonio really regretted, he would have more direct means of catching him.

Breaking in would be direct and most effective.

His analysis seemed to be plausible. However, someone clung onto the door when he stepped out with one foot.

Channing's heart palpitated. He quickly withdrew his foot. However, when he tried to close the door, he found that he couldn't even pull it as if it were fixed to the floor.

A person appeared in front of Channing. He was wearing a police uniform and a police cap with a credential in his hand, "Don't move, police!"

The man shouted. Finding that he was a policeman, Channing was instantly much relieved.

Although he seldom socialized with the police, at least he thought he hadn't done anything significantly against the law. Even yesterday, he didn't really rape anyone, so he wasn't terrified of police.

"Sir... Sir, I am a law-abiding citizen." Channing had put his hand on the door handle, but now he put it on the sides of his thighs.

"We'll know if you obey the law or not after investigation." Joseph took a look at Channing and waved his hand, after which Channing heard a noise coming from downstairs. The next second, five or six police officers came up the stairs and filed in his room.

Although Channing was confident that he had not done anything significantly against the law, he became nervous again when he saw the police being so serious, "Well, sir, it's a bit intimidating for you to have so many people here all at once."

"And...And you've got guns with you." Although Channing had a gun, it could be only used to scare others and couldn't really hurt anyone.

"Oh? Don't you often see guns?" Joseph, who was the last people to enter the apartment, looked at Channing meaningfully.

Channing was stunned, "Sir, what do you mean? I'm a law-abiding citizen. How can I often see guns?"

"You can deny it now. When I find the gun, I'll see how you can deny it!" Although Joseph said in tough tone and even glared at Channing, he was actually not confident at all. Because of the urgency, he didn't apply for a search warrant.

And it was so late that he couldn't get the search warrant until at least the next day even if he applied for it. He couldn't bear to wait that long.

If Channing stopped them from entering for this reason now, they couldn't enter the apartment.

Fortunately, Channing didn't mention this.
