wrong!
Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi both saw the pain in the prisoner's eyes. Considering Natsume's swift and even cruel methods, even they, who were slow to react, could guess what was happening right now!
Torture to extract confessions!
Although the prisoner showed nothing, he was definitely enduring unparalleled torture, because a look of pleading had appeared in his eyes!
Takagi Wataru instinctively wanted to look at the camera.
However, Xia Ye stopped him by placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Officer Takagi, there are still some things I don't understand. Could you explain them to me?"
"Officer Megure?"
Takagi Wataru broke out in a cold sweat, but surprisingly, the kid had some acting skills, and he looked at Inspector Megure for help with a relatively normal expression.
"Takagi, tell Natsume about it~"
Having been around for a long time, Inspector Megure calmly said, "Let's pretend nothing happened!"
Natsume had already done it, so Inspector Megure could only trust him. After all, while Natsume was bold, he never acted without considering the consequences; he could simply trust that Natsume could handle it.
"Yes, Inspector Megure!"
Takagi Wataru was even more obedient. After all, Inspector Megure was the boss in this interrogation room, and although Officer Natsume was young, he was a star officer being groomed by the Metropolitan Police Department. Since they both said it was fine, he figured he'd listen to them.
then--
Natsume was talking nonsense with Takagi Wataru.
Inspector Megure picked up the files on the table and began to read them.
The three of them tacitly ignored the prisoner's pained expression.
Three minutes later.
Xia Ye turned to look at the prisoner, lightly flicked her fingers, and said with a friendly smile:
"Alright, let's begin the interrogation now."
"what!"
The prisoner sitting in the interrogation chair suddenly shouted.
He felt that he could finally move again, and the excruciating pain all over his body disappeared in an instant, which made him want to vent the hellish pain he had just experienced!
however--
He had just shouted it out.
Seeing Xia Ye's indifferent gaze.
He bit his lip hard, using the pain to stop the urge to scream again.
He even felt that the pain of biting his lip was nothing compared to the pain of the previous pain, like a gentle spring breeze!
The sudden pain just now seemed to penetrate to the bone marrow—no, wait—
It was a pain that seeped into his soul, a pain that could devour his consciousness yet strangely keep him awake. He never wanted to endure it for another second in his life!
And the source of all this.
It was definitely that young police officer with the warm, welcoming smile!
He is not a fool.
The fat police officer and the rookie police officer didn't seem to have that kind of ability.
The young police officer who had just entered had a smile on his face that suggested he was playing with a cat playing with a mouse. How could he not understand this, having once toyed with the weak in the same way?
"What's it called?"
Xia Ye smiled slightly, and seemingly produced a silver needle from nowhere, her eyes kind:
"You seem a little unwell. Before I ask you any questions, would you like me to give you an acupuncture?"
"No! No need!"
Looking at the thin silver needle, the prisoner instantly felt the pain all over his body return. His intuition told him that the silver needle was the culprit!
Although I don't know how Xia Ye did it—
But he absolutely must not try it again!
"I said!"
"I'll tell you everything!"
Our group's warehouse is located at—
"Okay~"
Xia Ye stretched, stood up, and said with a smile:
"Perfectly solved!"
"I'm going back now~"
"Takagi, take down the statement!"
Inspector Megure gave some instructions, then followed Natsume out the door. In the corridor, he pulled Natsume aside and whispered to him:
"Xia Ye, aren't you afraid that the criminals will cause trouble afterward and that it will eventually be discovered?"
"It's alright, Inspector Megure!"
Xia Ye patted his shoulder to reassure him: "Even if you take him to the most advanced hospital, they won't be able to find anything wrong, let alone—"
"He doesn't dare to raise any objections now!"
"Is it that powerful?"
Inspector Megure, hearing that everything was alright, stopped dwelling on what had just happened; feigning ignorance was his motto.
Of course, justice must still be upheld.
As for the methods...
As long as the criminal confesses, that's all that matters!
.. ..... 0
He was actually quite curious about Xia Ye's methods.
"how?"
Xia Ye, with a half-smile, picked up a silver needle and raised an eyebrow, saying:
"Inspector Megure, you want to give it a try?"
"No, I think I'll pass!"
Inspector Megure quickly waved his hand in refusal. The prisoner inside, who dared to smuggle guns on such a large scale, was definitely a ruthless person. Yet now, he was obediently answering Takagi's questions!
That can achieve the desired effect.
How ruthless should the methods be?
Inspector Megure has absolutely no desire to try this!
"Alright, you can go back now."
Inspector Megure saw Natsume off and returned to the interrogation room. Now that the criminal had confessed, all he needed to do was report the statement to his superiors so they could send someone to raid the warehouse.
Such a big case.
A promotion is out of the question.
But you're sure to get a lot of bonuses.
We can buy Ah Lü a gift then to surprise her!
In fact, we should really thank Xia Ye.
It's all thanks to his own performance that his growth has been so dramatic.
If this continues—
A position that seemed hopeless before might actually be moved up!
It's important to know that the difference between retiring after a promotion and being promoted nominally after retirement is enormous!
I'll invite Xia Ye to visit my home in a few days.
Let A-Lu cook a delicious meal for him!
...
Natsume had no idea that Inspector Megure was planning to invite her to his house again. If she had known, she would definitely have thought that Inspector Megure was "inviting a wolf into the house"!
Natsume went to Inspector Megure's house to have fun.
But what to play was beyond his imagination.
After all, he was already asleep at that time.
When Xia Ye returned to the office of Department 1, Section 3, Sato Miwako and Ikenami Shizuka were chatting.
There are a lot of cases today, and most of the officers in the third division are out working. According to Miwako, she'll be going out on a call soon too.
"Come back so soon?"
Miwako, who was having a very pleasant conversation with Ikenami Shizuka because there was hardly anyone in the office, looked at Natsume in surprise as she pushed the door open and entered.
No, it's only been a dozen minutes, right?
"how?"
Xia Ye pulled up a chair and sat down next to them, smiling as she said, "Do you have some misunderstanding about my abilities? Why are you so surprised by something so small?"
"Right!"
Miwako blinked.
I was indeed overreacting.
This was just basic stuff for Xia Ye.
"How about it?"
Xia Ye looked at the two people in a harmonious atmosphere and asked:
"Have you found it?"
"Not yet~"
"I've already spoken to my colleagues in the archives; they'll—"
"Jingle Bell--!"
Before Miwako could finish speaking, the phone on the table rang. After answering the call, a smile appeared on her pretty face:
"Found it! Shibata Shiro, Shizuoka Prefecture—"
Shizuoka Prefecture...
Xia Ye glanced at Ikenami Shizuka: "Then we need to set off now. It'll take at least three hours to get to Shizuoka!"
"It's up to you to decide."
Chi Bojinghua's beautiful eyes were like water.
"Well then, Miwako, we're leaving~" Xia Ye glanced around, and seeing that the two remaining police officers weren't paying attention, he grinned mischievously, lifted Miwako's chin, and kissed her on the lips:
"Wait until I come back—"
"I will repay you properly!"
"Pah!" Wan.
