Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was June 30th on Friday in the tenth week of the semester .
During the morning self-study period, Dopey Guo said suddenly, "Did you hear? Yesterday, a girl from Prime Elevation High School had been dragged off by someone suspected of being a member of Shuigou Sect . "
"Mm, of course . It went viral on WeChat Moments . " Little Peanut nodded . "The girl said that she had been on her way home from school when a man had tried to take her away . That person lied that he was her father . The scariest thing was that no one passing by had stopped him . . . "
"Even upright officials can't resolve family disputes! To a lot of people, it looked like a family matter, so naturally they didn't want to get involved . That girl would have been in danger if Odd Zhuo hadn't come in time," Dopey Guo said . "The man they caught is now the biggest breakthrough they've had in the whole Shuigou Sect affair!"
"Senior Zhuo is really awesome!"
A lot of people couldn't help exclaiming in admiration . There was a saying among high school students now: When Odd Zhuo makes a move, you'll know if something's up! After a series of major incidents, more and more people were becoming very familiar with this name .
After listening to the discussion, Wang Ling lowered his head silently .
He had specifically requested that Odd Zhuo take credit for the incident yesterday . However, the girl wouldn't forget that Wang Ling had saved her, and in the beginning had refused to accept this arrangement . It had taken a very long time for Odd Zhuo to persuade her and convince her that this was for the sake of protecting Wang Ling's privacy .
Wang Ling guessed that at this time, the girl was probably still cooperating with Odd Zhuo's investigation .
A lead on Shuigou Sect had been discovered at long last; no one wanted to waste it .
. . .
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Songhai First Prison .
The interrogation of the man in the woollen hat who had been caught yesterday and who was suspected of being a member of Shuigou Sect had begun .
But Odd Zhuo and the prison's Warden Liang had now run into a rather tricky problem — the suspect was refusing to confess to his crimes .
The man sat shackled in the middle of the interrogation room, his spirit energy completely sealed away . He shook his leg out of boredom and his speech was filthy as he jeered non-stop .
"Even if you beat me to death, I won't tell you anything!
"Lock me away forever, see if you dare!
"Aren't you quite capable? Come on, torture me! Fry me! Remember to turn me over! Otherwise, I this old father will become a potsticker!"
" . . . "
Outside the interrogation room, Warden Liang sighed deeply and felt very helpless .
At the moment, the man completely refused to admit to having any direct connection to Shuigou Sect; at the most, he could only be charged with attempted kidnapping . But then they would have caught him for nothing . An organization like Shuigou Sect, which had brazenly captured a dozen students without leaving any clues behind, definitely had to have quite the solid plan behind it .
It could be said that Warden Liang had completely expected this man to be tight-lipped .
But what the man said had hit Warden Liang's sore spot . With the onset of the Spirit Energy Information era and continual advancements in the legal system, the ancient cultivation prison's punishment model had already long been abolished . Who would have cared a thousand or two thousand years ago? The jailer could have directly used a set of "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B A B A 1 ," and even the most stubborn mouth would have been forced to open .
"What should we do? What's your opinion, Director Zhuo?" Warden Liang held his head and felt his trigeminal nerve throb faintly with pain .
After nearly two hours of interrogation, the man had refused to give so much as his name, and the ID he had been carrying was fake . The most disturbing thing was that when the DNA sample they had collected from him had been run through the cultivation police's system, they actually couldn't find a match — this guy was a true unregistered citizen!
And to put it bluntly, that was the reason why the man wasn't fearful at all; he was aware that as long as he didn't say anything, they wouldn't be able to find any information on him at all .
"I remember that there's a spell for forcibly extracting memories from the brain . . . " said Odd Zhuo .
"Absolutely not!" Warden Liang shook his head . "We only use this tactic on prisoners who are on death row . While this type of forceful intrusion can directly extract evidence from a suspect's memories, if the suspect resists and refuses to cooperate, the memories will become jumbled during the extraction process, so the spell carries a very large risk . "
"Absolutely not!" Warden Liang shook his head . "We only use this tactic on prisoners who are on death row . While this type of forceful intrusion can directly extract evidence from a suspect's memories, if the suspect resists and refuses to cooperate, the memories will become jumbled during the extraction process, so the spell carries a very large risk . "
Speaking up to this point, Warden Liang pursed his lips . "Besides, if we want to employ this forceful intrusion, according to standard protocol, we'll have to first wait on instructions from the higher-ups . . . It wasn't easy to obtain this lead on Shuigou Sect . If something happens to the suspect, neither I nor Director Zhuo will be able to bear the responsibility . "
"I see . "
Odd Zhuo nodded, and then frowned . "Then we only have one last resort . . . "
Warden Liang: "What's that?"
Odd Zhuo moved closer and whispered in Warden Liang's ear . The latter's eyes suddenly lit up as he slapped the table . "Wonderful! Let's do it!"
. . .
Songhai First Prison's special holding cell .
The man in the woollen hat was sent to the cell in the custody of two prison officers .
"Don't f**king push me! I can walk myself!" His words were still stubborn, and he didn't show any fear in front of the two prison officers, displaying instead a resistant character .
The two prison officers looked at each other and smiled . Hehe! Go on and laugh! You'll be crying later!
The two prison officers looked at each other and smiled . Hehe! Go on and laugh! You'll be crying later!
Then, without saying anything, they simply lifted one foot each to kick the man's butt into the cell . It was obvious that they had had it with his behavior! This kick felt very satisfying!
One of the prison officers stared at him . "You'll be staying here until the second interrogation . "
"Where am I? It seems quite spacious!" The man didn't care as he got up and looked at the prison officers . After looking around, he laughed shamelessly . "Tch! There's even an exclusive guard here? Aren't you treating me a little too well?"
The two prison officers sneered and closed the cell door with a bang .
The man laughed coldly as the two prison officers turned around and left . "What a shitty prison! Songhai First Prison? Its prison officers are nothing!"
However, just after he was done taunting, there was suddenly a hair-raising sensation behind him .
He turned his head to take a look, and just so happened to see his two cellmates in this special cell looking askance at him .
Instantly, the man broke out in a cold sweat . . .
Because his two cellmates weren't just anybody .
One of them had appeared on the news recently, and was the leader of the biggest dark force sect in Huaxiu's history, the Master of Immortal Mansion . The other was inside a woman's body, the Master of Shadow Stream Jiang Liuyue, and had once plunged the whole of Huaxiu nation into a dark age of terror, the Devil Emperor . . .
