The Jing family members genuinely knew nothing. No matter how many times they were asked, their answers were exactly the same, and the police had given up on interrogating them. Only the Jing family man and his two newly returned daughters remained, and neither of them were being honest.
They've been interrogating each other for a whole day, but there's been no progress. No matter the environment or methods of the interrogation, none of the Jing family men have confessed. Their willpower is truly astonishing.
Li Hui had been talking all day, and even though he drank water from time to time, he was still thirsty. Zhu Fanfan brought him a bowl of water at the right time: "This is a pill made by the Liu family. It will quench your thirst when dissolved in water."
Li Hui picked up the glass and gulped it down. Zhu Fanfan then said, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison you? My grandma's poisoning skills are even better than medicine."
Li Hui had considerable trust in Vice President Liu: "Your grandmother isn't the type to play pranks on people, nor would she harm others casually. She respects life and wouldn't concoct poisons."
Vice President Liu is quite responsible; even if he made it, he wouldn't give it to a child. If Commander Zhu and Vice President Liu had opposite personalities, he would never drink it. Commander Zhu is capable of poisoning people, but it wouldn't be fatal; it would cause diarrhea or other perverse pleasures. It wouldn't be life-threatening, but it would be torturous and would likely make him look bad.
Zhu Fanfan could only say that he was right; Grandma was beautiful inside and out, the best grandma in the world.
Li Hui said, "The men of the Jing family have such strong willpower. No matter how many times they are asked, their psychological defenses never waver. It's as if they have been specially trained. Their answers are always the same, and they answer without the slightest hesitation. The only flaw that was revealed was what Inoue Wa said. When Fang Zhiguo came to meddle and then reported the case, no one showed up. He suspected that they had left. They were obviously emotionally fluctuating, but they quickly returned to normal."
Zhu Fanfan: ...Is it possible that they were really there, and were preparing to take Inoue Wa away, but she drugged them? She also marked them, so that if Inoue Wa didn't confess, she would have a backup plan.
Meanwhile, the Jing family men who had gone to ambush him were cursing inwardly. They had long known that Jing Shangwa was unreliable, but they hadn't expected him to be this unreliable. He didn't even dare to make a move against a good-for-nothing like Boss Qian, and instead ran into Fang Zhiguo, a soldier whose current or retired status was unknown.
They wanted to take the person away, but they were accidentally drugged. Although the drugging period was short, the police arrived. They could have overpowered the police, but they couldn't do that. If they did, they would be finished in Shanghai and their whole family would have to go back to Japan. The mission wasn't completed, and they wouldn't have a good time back home.
Zhu Fanfan, eager to try, suggested, "Why don't we beat them up? Maybe they'll be scared and confess, and they might even implicate their accomplices."
Li Hui handed the bowl to Zhu Fanfan: "I must say, the pills your grandma makes are really no worse than elixirs. My throat is fine now, give me another one. Besides me, many other people have also spent a lot of time talking today, and everyone's mouths are dry. How about I buy you a can of malted milk powder as compensation?"
Zhu Fanfan took out a pill: "It's fine once it dissolves. I don't want anything else. I don't drink malted milk powder. I don't like the taste."
Li Hui wasn't really going to take it for free: "I'll buy you two pounds of Big Day Milk Candy, all you kids love it."
Although the pills refined by Vice Dean Liu are not exactly priceless, they are only supplied to key leaders and are not available to ordinary people. Two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy are rare, but they are still not as valuable as a single pill.
Zhu Fanfan gave a forced smile and said, "I'm not my grandfather. I don't like snacks and candy. Don't worry about it. I don't lack anything."
Children's craving for candy and snacks is instinctive and also due to physical needs. In today's society, productivity is insufficient, and people have to work hard to get enough food, and some families still don't have enough to eat, let alone processed snacks. Production is already limited, so they are a rare commodity. Adults yearn for scarce things, let alone children.
Besides, milk candy contains milk; seven White Rabbit candies can make a cup of milk. It's highly nutritious, and people's bodies need nutrition, so they instinctively like White Rabbit candy.
But she's not like that! She grew up drinking baby formula, and even if her family forgot to buy more, her grandfather would send it to her. She didn't care about it at all.
Or rather, no one in Xiaolou considers White Rabbit candy a rare item. Everyone is well-off and has plenty of snacks, so they don't have a particular desire for material things.
Li Hui was still thinking about what snacks his child liked when Zhu Fanfan interrupted him. He remembered the Zhu family's circumstances and how could they possibly crave snacks? But he couldn't really not give his child anything, and giving money wasn't appropriate either.
Zhu Fanfan asked again, "Uncle Li, do you think if we beat them up badly they'll confess?"
Li Hui could only laugh: "You think we didn't use this trick? It didn't work. No matter how badly they were hit, they answered the same way as before, not a single one of them was wrong."
This is the most troublesome kind. Their beliefs are unwavering. Even though they have lived in China for so many years, their descendants have never even left the country, yet they are still so loyal to R country. It has to be said that their brainwashing was truly successful.
Zhu Fanfan suggested, "Then let's use our mental power to bring them to the brink of mental collapse, wouldn't that solve the problem?"
The power of will is the same as mental power, just with different terminology. Mental power is not unfamiliar to people with superpowers; even a psychological expert like Uncle Li should have heard of it.
Li Hui shook his head: "I'm not capable enough. Your godfather could come, but it's a long way away, and he's quite busy in the military every day, so he can't possibly come."
He has decided to submit an application to his superiors, requesting assistance from the Dragon Group. He refuses to believe that the Dragon Group cannot deal with a few Japanese people. The Dragon Group's methods are far more ruthless than his; their methods will force even a ghost to confess.
Zhu Fanfan volunteered: "Me? I inherited all of my godfather's skills. I'm the most talented in the Ming family. I've also interrogated people before. I can do it."
Li Hui refused: "This is no joke. My master once used his mental power to interrogate a criminal with a very strong will, and the backlash almost made him stupid. Since then, his mental power has gradually declined, and his memory has also deteriorated. I will not agree to this."
Zhu Fanfan was puzzled: "Who said I was going to use telekinesis to interrogate people? I'm just going in to beat them up. The method I learned is different from what you guys learned, so there won't be any side effects."
She saw a technique recorded in the Ming family's secret manual. It involved channeling spiritual energy into one's hands to strike others. This would leave no marks on the skin, but the power would penetrate into the soul, making it almost impossible for anyone to withstand. She had tried it on the train, and it worked without any aftereffects.
