Chapter 23 Interrogation
When Wei Changtian pushed open the gate with the old hen in his hand, the two chickens in the yard immediately screamed loudly, giving him the warmest welcome.
"Ah! Sir, why did you buy a chicken?"
Yuan'er dodged the mess and walked quickly to Wei Changtian, with some curiosity in her tone.
Wei Changtian was stunned and asked: "No, first tell me where these two chickens came from?"
Yuan'er answered truthfully: "One was just brought by the young lady, and the other was bought by the madam this morning at Qiuyun's request."
Wei Changtian was a little surprised: "Did Lu Jingyao ask me to buy it?"
"Yes, Madam said she wanted to buy it because she was afraid that Miss would blame you for stewing her chicken."
Yuan Er looked at the chicken in Wei Changtian's hand, covered her mouth and smiled, "Young Master, I think so too."
"Humph, now it seems like I'm not a big deal."
Wei Changtian breathed out through his nose and threw the hen to the ground: "Now they can all play Landlord."
"Fight Landlord?" Yuan'er blinked.
"Well, it's just a little game to kill time. I'll teach you how to play it when I have a chance later."
Wei Changtian laughed it off and walked into the house.
Wei Qiaoling had lost interest in learning to write and was sleeping on the big ghost.
Lu Jingyao was sitting at the table reading a book. When she saw me come in, she closed the book and asked softly, "You came back later today than usual."
"Oh, I'll always come back at this time from now on."
Wei Changtian replied casually: "I found someone to teach me martial arts for one hour every day."
"Is that so..."
Lu Jingyao was still thinking about how to transform Wei Changtian into a literary giant. Now, when she heard that the only time she had for practicing calligraphy every day was taken up by practicing martial arts, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
But she couldn't really ask Wei Changtian for anything as a "wife", so she could only ask him in a low voice with grievance: "Then you promised to practice calligraphy..."
"I'll practice when I have time."
Wei Changtian never imagined that Lu Jingyao's psychological activities were so complicated. He just responded casually and prepared to change clothes.
At this moment, Wang Er suddenly came in from outside and said anxiously, "Sir, the master asked you to go over quickly, saying that Xiao... cough."
He caught sight of Lu Jingyao next to him and instantly closed his mouth nervously.
Wei Changtian also glanced at the one in front.
The two saw Lu Jingyao lowering her head with her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something important.
The room was suddenly extremely quiet, with only the sound of Wei Qiaoling's pig-like snoring being heard.
Wang Er: It's bad! What should I do? I will definitely be blamed by the master later! Wei Changtian: It seems that you still miss Xiao Feng! Hmm? Why don't you look like that?
Lu Jingyao: What should I do to make my husband give up martial arts and pursue literature? I am so distressed...
…
"Tell us what happened again in detail!"
In the dark room, Wei Xianzhi and Wei Changtian each sat on a chair, and a spy from the Sticky Rod Department stood next to them.
"Yes, Lord Wei!"
The spy responded and bowed to look at Wei Changtian.
"Master Wei, we found Xiao Feng's trace in Houqiu Village in the north of the city."
"According to the villagers, Xiao Feng was injured and drifted to Houqiu Village a few days ago. Since then, he has been living in the home of an old man surnamed Liu, and has been taken care of by the old man's granddaughter."
"Oh, Houqiu Village doesn't have a village chief. All matters in the village are decided by this old man surnamed Liu."
"Wait a moment."
Wei Changtian interrupted and asked, "How many days ago? How many days exactly? Also, what is the name of the old man's granddaughter?"
"Reply, young master."
The spy replied in a deep voice: "It was the night of seven days ago. The woman's name is Liu Yingying, and she is twelve years old."
"Okay, go ahead."
"yes."
The spy paused for a moment, then continued, "There were four brothers from the Sticking Rod Office at the time. I was worried that they might not be a match for Xiao Feng, so I sent someone back to the office to ask for help, and at the same time took the other two to keep an eye on the Liu family's movements inside and outside."
"We never dared to relax, but we did not notice anything unusual."
"After that, we waited for the experts in the company to arrive and then sneaked into the Liu family together. However, apart from two pieces of Xiao Feng's clothes, we didn't find anyone. We guess Xiao Feng had left before we came."
"I am incompetent, please forgive me, sir!"
The spy stood up straight and stopped talking. Wei Changtian thought for a while before asking, "Have you brought back Liu Yingying and her grandfather?"
"He has been brought back and is being held in prison."
"Has it been examined?"
"We briefly interrogated them, but no torture was used. Both of them said they did not recognize Xiao Feng."
"good."
Wei Changtian turned his head and looked at Wei Xianzhi: "Dad, I want to go there."
…
Xuan Jing Si, Xing Yu.
The function of the Xuan Jing Division is to investigate cases and kill people. Long-term detention of prisoners is the job of the Ministry of Justice. Therefore, in addition to the "Zhen Yao Prison" which is specially used to imprison monsters, there is only a small Xing Prison in the division, which is mainly used for interrogation.
Firelight flickered in the damp and cramped corridor. Wei Changtian looked at the person beside him and felt that he looked familiar.
"Have I seen you somewhere?"
The black-clad officer hurriedly replied, "Master Wei, I am Guo Ying. I had the honor of fighting with you in the ring the day before yesterday."
"Oh, I thought so."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Brother Guo, where are those two people being held now?"
"My lord, the older one is at A2, and the younger one is at C3."
Guo Ying was flattered to be called "Brother Guo" and his face was full of flattery: "Sir, which one do you want to interrogate first?"
"Let's try the older one first."
Wei Changtian thought about it and whispered a few words to Guo Ying.
“…Is that clear?”
"Yes, I know."
A hint of surprise flashed across Guo Ying's face, but he quickly returned to normal.
A few minutes later.
The iron door of torture room No. 2 was slowly pushed open. Surrounded by various torture instruments, a white-haired old man was tied to a chair and unable to move.
"Master Wei, Master Guo."
The two officers quickly stood up, and were then waved away by Guo Ying as they left the torture room.
"You guys go out."
"yes!"
“Crunch~”
After a moment, the iron door closed.
Wei Changtian looked around, then walked up to the determined old man and said softly, "Tell me everything you know about Xiao Feng."
"I don't recognize Xiao Feng!"
The old man's eyes were firm, and he made it clear that "I know, but I won't tell you even if you kill me."
"Why don't you want to say it?"
Wei Changtian muttered to himself: "Let me guess... According to the usual bloody storyline, he probably saved your lives, didn't he?"
“…”
The look of astonishment in the old man's eyes undoubtedly confirmed this guess.
Wei Changtian smiled and patted his shoulder: "You would rather die than betray your savior. You are really loyal and righteous."
"But don't forget, you still have a granddaughter."
"Do you know what will happen to her?"
“…”
The old man's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.
At this moment, Guo Ying, who was standing next to him, suddenly took a step closer and said with a lustful and evil smile: "Sir, that girl is pretty!"
"Hehe, we have been guarding this huge prison without sunlight every day, and we are already drooling with greed!"
"Slurp~"
"Why don't you stop the trial? The brothers can't wait any longer!"
“…”
Looking at Guo Ying's superb acting skills, Wei Changtian was speechless.
I'm afraid this isn't a true portrayal of himself.
Although he secretly complained in his heart, his face remained calm. He followed the "script" and said, "If that's the case, give that girl some magic potion to erase her memory."
"You can take turns playing with them for a few days. When you've had enough, you can become prison prostitutes."
Looking at the old man who was trembling all over and almost fainting, Wei Changtian leaned over and added one last sentence.
"Tsk, tsk, old man."
"You've harmed your own granddaughter like this. Aren't you afraid that she'll turn into a ghost and come looking for you after she dies?"
“…”
"Devil, devil..."
"You are all devils!"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!!"
"Please let my granddaughter go! Let my granddaughter go!!"
