The assassin in black thought for only a moment before replying:
"We are actually an assassin organization. Under normal circumstances, after we are assigned a mission..."
"They will only tell us the target's information and address, but they won't tell us about the employer."
"but……"
The assassin in black changed the subject: "This time the situation is rather special because it's a mission from Great Xia, which is considered quite difficult even within the organization."
"Moreover, this is my first time in Daxia, and I'm not very familiar with the situation here."
"So they told me about my employer's situation... The organization also told me to communicate more with my employer so that I could complete the mission perfectly."
"Stop, stop, stop..." The inspector reached out and banged hard on the table.
With a somewhat helpless expression, he said, "I didn't ask you that many questions. I just asked who your employer is. Why are you asking so many pointless questions?"
The assassin in black: "..."
He had originally thought that it would be better if he could say more.
Moreover, he had just revealed his organization, hoping to gain merit.
If he could take down the entire organization, he might be able to redeem himself through meritorious service.
These are all very possible.
However, he didn't know much about the Great Xia Dynasty and hadn't considered this aspect, which was...
The Great Xia only arrested him; they didn't care about his organization or anything like that.
Since none of the other members of his organization committed any crimes in Daxia, how could he possibly travel thousands of miles abroad to arrest their organization?
Is this a joke?
"Okay, alright."
The assassin in black coughed softly:
"The employer is Xu Song's brother, Xu Bing. You should be able to find that out as well."
"I've been in contact with him ever since I came to Daxia, but I've deleted all the contact records. However, you should be able to find some clues or sense my whereabouts."
"I understand. All you need to do is provide the details, and we will verify the specifics."
The inspector said calmly, "You don't need to worry about anything else. Leave all of this to us. As for your contribution... you certainly deserve some credit, but that's not something we can decide. It depends on your future performance. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this...
The assassin in black quickly nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will cooperate fully and tell you everything I know."
"Well, you know what's going on. If we find out you've told even half a lie, you can imagine the consequences."
The inspector showed no mercy and continued to ask:
"Alright, now I'll ask you the next question: Did you... never intend to kill Xu Song from beginning to end, and only wanted to blackmail him?"
“Yes.” The assassin in black answered immediately.
He's not stupid; he didn't actually do anything particularly clear about killing anyone.
From beginning to end, it was all just about taking money from Xu Song.
This would at most constitute extortion, which is much less serious than murder.
So now, as long as he insists that he absolutely had no intention of killing anyone.
So we can't do anything to him, since there are no other witnesses or evidence.
Moreover, these are all things he himself has thought of; how could anyone else know them?
"Are you sure you didn't intend to kill him after taking the money?"
The inspector continued, "I don't believe an assassin would take the money and then not do anything to the target."
"That's right... I've discussed this matter with Xu Song himself many times."
The assassin in black thought for a moment and replied:
“I also want to retire now, because I came to Daxia and found that it’s a great place for me to live out my retirement.”
"So I'm planning to finish this job and then retire here. I just want to make more money so I can live comfortably for the rest of my life. If I wanted to kill someone, how could I stay here afterward?"
"This is indeed true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xu Song himself. I believe he wouldn't lie."
These statements are only partially true.
The assassin in black did indeed want to retire at Huawei, but he had no intention of letting Xu Song go.
Because he didn't take it seriously, even though he had killed someone.
You can continue living here, what's wrong with that?
As long as they don't get caught, that's fine, but the assassin in black certainly wouldn't say these words out loud.
I'll just keep it to myself and think about it.
After all, his current goal is to get off the hook as soon as possible, preferably as if nothing had happened.
The sentence wouldn't be too severe if it were handed down that way.
"Okay, I will verify this with Xu Song and investigate it carefully."
The inspector nodded: "Do you know Xu Bing's current location?"
It's not that the supervisory bureau can't investigate Xu Bing, but rather that they're too lazy to waste the time, since the assassin is right here.
If he were to reveal this, wouldn't that mean he'd be investigating everything related to his career?
Just send someone to arrest them.
"I know, I've been staying at his villa all this time..."
The assassin in black nodded and told him the location.
The assassins in black have come to terms with it; since they've been caught, they shouldn't dwell on it anymore.
After all, if you're going to spend your whole life in prison, there's no point in thinking about anything else.
He now knows that his crime is not actually that serious.
So all I could think about was how to alleviate the symptoms and how to get out.
"Okay, next, I will give you paper and pen. You need to write down all the energy you have accumulated during this period on this paper. We will find professionals to review it. We hope you will tell us everything without missing a single word."
The inspector emphasized, "You absolutely cannot lie, and you need to be as specific as possible in your writing. If they find anything wrong with you, then all your previous performance will be wasted."
This is actually a form of intimidation against the assassin in black.
Because I was afraid he might say something shady that would affect my judgment of the case, and in the end, I would suffer more losses than gains.
These are all things that the supervisory bureau should try its best to avoid.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Strange, it's been almost two days, why haven't they come back yet? Could something have really happened?"
Xu Bing narrowed his eyes and muttered something under his breath.
Logically speaking, even if they weren't coming back, they should have sent a message.
But why is there no news at all now?
This made it hard for Xu Bing not to be suspicious...
But there was nothing he could do. Even if he knew something had happened to him, what could he do?
He couldn't be of much help anyway.
However... that could very well threaten his safety.
For some reason, Xu Bing suddenly felt uneasy.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen.
He's a professional killer, after all!
