Li Shiming shook his head. He took out a few copper wires and connected one end to the needle.
Then he stood behind the bearded man so that he couldn't see his movements.
He put the other end of the copper wire into the computer room and connected it to the output end of the uninterruptible power supply.
His actions increased the bearded man's pain, and his screams became louder.
Li Shiming sneered. His consciousness controlled the uninterruptible power supply in the computer room, outputting high voltage electricity at the output end connected to the copper wire.
The bearded man's screams suddenly stopped. It wasn't that he wasn't in pain anymore, but on the contrary, the pain was amplified to an indescribable level.
High voltage electricity, at least in the secular world, has never appeared before.
The pain nerves are connected with high voltage electricity, and the pain produced is the likes of which no one in this world has ever experienced.
The high voltage electricity released by Li Shiming lasted only two seconds, but these two seconds were like a long journey to hell for the bearded man.
When the high voltage electricity stopped, all that was left of the bearded man was his heavy breathing.
The bearded man hated his own strong body, otherwise he would have fainted by now.
Even if he died, he didn't want to experience the feeling he just had again.
"I confess!" He opened his mouth wide and tried hard to say two words.
Li Shiming was just thinking about giving it another shot, but who knew the bearded man was so weak that he couldn't withstand the electric shock.
Li Shiming was also straightforward and pulled out all the needles that were stuck in the bearded man's body.
He was not worried that the bearded man would not speak. He knew that he had to go to the police tomorrow morning to report the case, so he had the whole night to conduct the interrogation slowly.
Of course, there's another reason to pull out a few needles.
He found several papers on lie detection. Through his five senses, the large server IBM z15 was able to analyze and judge the bearded man's heartbeat, micro-expressions, pupils and other aspects, and thus determine whether the bearded man was lying.
"My name is Pei Xinlu!" The bearded man recovered and said his name first.
After saying the name, he looked at Li Shiming's expression and found that Li Shiming did not express anything. He knew that Li Shiming did not know this name.
He thought Li Shiming was also a warrior. If he was a warrior, he would definitely have heard of him, one of the top ten masters in Zhongdu.
"I'm here to take your head on the orders of Lord Li Wenfeng!" The bearded man did not hide anything, nor did he dare to hide it. He was frightened by Li Shiming's methods.
"What official position does Li Wenfeng hold?" Li Shiming asked when he noticed that the bearded man called Li Wenfeng "Sir Li".
"He is the chief historian of Prince Shun's Palace." The bearded man said everything he should and shouldn't say. He gave up thinking and answered whatever Li Shiming asked.
Even though Li Shiming was unfamiliar with the situation in Daxia, he still knew some important information.
Prince Shun was the third prince and also a serious contender for the throne. The Chief Clerk of Prince Shun’s Palace was a third-rank official.
Although the power of the Chief Secretary of Shun Prince's Palace is not as great as that of the Prefect of Nanling Prefecture, his rank is two levels higher. If Prince Shun can become emperor, the Chief Secretary of Shun Prince's Palace will be able to enter the cabinet directly.
When Li Shiming thought of Li Wenfeng's name, he couldn't help but think of his father Li Wenyuan, who also had the surname Li.
"Keep an eye on him and report to the police tomorrow morning!" He turned and left the room and instructed the guard.
The next morning, the Dali Temple took over the case, and Li Shiming received Mr. Hu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, at his home.
"Hello, Uncle Hu!" In the reception room, Li Shiming bowed and said with courtesy as a junior.
The reason why he was called Uncle Hu was because this Lord Hu, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was one of the good friends that Li Wenyuan asked him to visit.
"Brother Li has raised a good son. He has passed the imperial examination at a young age and is about to take the big exam!" Lord Hu said with a smile as he helped Li Shiming up.
"It was just a stroke of luck!" Li Shiming said modestly.
"Since you are one of us, I will tell you the truth. Pei Xinlu has a great reputation in Zhongdu. Anyone who can ask him to take action has great power that is difficult to shake. I hope you won't be too impulsive. After this time, no one will dare to attack you again!" Lord Hu said in a low voice.
Li Shiming already knew who was the force behind this, but he didn't say it.
He had his own ideas. If he was really powerless, then he really needed help from the government.
But he could barely be considered a cultivator, so it was not difficult for him to deal with ordinary people. Even if the opponent was powerful, he would not be able to withstand a talisman.
Of course, he also understood the meaning of Lord Hu's words. Pei Xinlu's guilt could be determined, but it would be difficult to dig deeper.
"My father told me that if I encounter any trouble in Zhongdu, I should ask Uncle Hu for help. I will listen to you!" Li Shiming said with a smile.
"Okay, since you trust me, I will do my best to help you!" Lord Hu felt relieved and assured with a smile.
He had no choice but to come here this time. After hearing that Li Shiming was assassinated, all the officials at the Dali Temple, from the bottom to the temple ministers, were extremely scared.
Although Li Shiming was only a juren, he was a juren at the age of fifteen, and his status had already been heard by the emperor.
With the level of Li Shiming's writing in the Autumn Examination, he would have surely passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi as long as he did not make any serious mistakes in the exam.
Moreover, many officials in Zhongdu knew that since Li Shiming could pass the imperial examination, his ranking must be very high, because the emperor liked auspicious signs, and no examiner could ignore such real auspicious signs.
Putting all these aside, Li Wenyuan's connections in Zhongdu also directly affected the attitude of the Dali Temple.
The purpose of Lord Hu coming here in person is to stabilize Li Shiming no matter how the case progresses, and not to allow any problems to arise with this auspicious sign that is very likely to become the beginning of next year.
In addition, the Dali Temple probably guessed who the mastermind was, based on what Lord Hu did not say.
Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the Dali Temple will warn the other party that Li Shiming's accident in Zhongdu before the final exam is to cause trouble for the Dali Temple.
After seeing off Lord Hu, Li Shiming called in Manager Zhang.
"Young Master!" Manager Zhang bowed.
"Do you know Li Wenfeng? Tell me about him!" Li Shiming asked.
The reason why we ask Manager Zhang first is that he has no other connections in the city, so if we want to investigate, we can only start with our own family.
When Manager Zhang heard this name, a look of hesitation appeared on his face.
"Can't you tell me?" Li Shiming asked in a deep voice.
"Young Master, Li Wenfeng is your second uncle, but the master severed ties with that side a few years ago!" Manager Zhang had no choice but to answer.
This news surprised Li Shiming. He thought of many possibilities, but he did not expect that Li Wenfeng was actually the second uncle of the original body.
The uncle hired a killer to assassinate his nephew. It seems that he has encountered a big family ethical drama.
Li Shiming was not troubled by the situation, but rather was a high-ranking bystander.
Because he is a cultivator, he will transcend the mundane world sooner or later. In addition, the emotions he inherited from his original body are only those from his father Li Wenyuan, not from his second uncle.
