In the interrogation room, Peng Ziyi threw a land deed and two account books in front of Chu Ying.
"Look, our search has yielded results. Your small building in Floro Town has been found. I have also checked the handwriting in the account book. This is irrefutable evidence. What else do you have to say?"
Chu Ying's face was filled with shock, his eyes fixed on the things on the table, not knowing what to do. He suddenly pounced forward, trying to snatch the deed, but a small shield appeared on the deed, bouncing his hand away.
Chu Ying broke his finger and cried out in pain.
"It's very ungentlemanly of you to do this." Peng Ziyi said, "You are really thoughtful in destroying the evidence in front of me."
"This is impossible. How could you find this deed? It was clearly hidden in the school..." Chu Ying suddenly pursed his lips.
Peng Ziyi heard something wrong here. He was hiding in the sofa in the dormitory, but he heard Chu Ying was about to say "xiao". What? The word "xiao"? There are many places with the word "xiao", from the school library to the principal's office.
Peng Ziyi asked: "Tell me the truth, where did you hide these things?"
"It is naturally hidden where you found it. Aren't you asking nonsense?" Chu Ying sneered.
"This was found in your dormitory. But I think your surprise is real. If you hid the deed somewhere else and someone moved it to your room, I think that person must have had bad intentions." Peng Ziyi analyzed for him, "Don't you want to find out who did it?"
Chu Ying simply lowered his head and uttered a muffled voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am innocent and I am wronged!"
Just as Peng Ziyi was about to continue questioning, there was a knock on the door. It was the education team leader Li Mingde and the personnel team leader Mo Lanxin.
"Mr. Li, Team Leader Mo, what is this?"
Professor Li Mingde said slowly, "Xiao Peng. The committee learned that Team Leader Chu was involved in a major case, so they convened an executive committee meeting. At the meeting, several of us on duty discussed that we should be cautious about this case, which involves our internal affairs and the top leaders of the committee. So we were assigned to participate in the interrogation throughout the whole process."
Mo Lanxin said, "Xiao Peng, although this matter came a little hastily, it is indeed something that everyone agrees with. Don't have any ideas. This case is too sensitive and will definitely have an impact on many things in the future. We are here to support you, which is actually a way to protect you."
"I understand." Peng Ziyi smiled and said, "Since the committee has made a decision, we will definitely cooperate with it. You two came at the right time. We have just discovered new evidence. There has been a big breakthrough in the Chu Ying case."
Before Peng Ziyi led them into the interrogation room, he first introduced the basic facts of the case to them and informed the two team leaders of Milda's findings. This way, the two had a preconceived impression before entering the interrogation room.
As a result, Li Mingde gave Chu Ying two titles as soon as he entered the interrogation room: "A rat and a borer! You have brought shame to the people's teachers."
"Mr. Li, we won't curse anyone before we convict them," Peng Ziyi said behind him.
"Yes, Team Leader Li. I think it would be better for us to give the initiative to Xiao Peng." Mo Lanxin also said.
Li Mingde and Mo Lanxin sat down on the left and right of Peng Ziyi and listened to him continue the interrogation, but it did not have much impact on Chu Ying.
He only held on to one thing, ignoring the evidence and refusing to plead guilty. As Milda and others were checking the documents next door, Zhang Cunliang questioned witnesses based on the new evidence and found that more and more evidence was sent here, and the chain of evidence became more and more complete. However, no matter how Peng Ziyi presented the facts and reasoned, Chu Ying refused to plead guilty.
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, the corridor was lit up by the light of lighting crystals.
The three people involved in the interrogation temporarily went to the conference room to rest and eat. Mo Lanxin asked: "Xiao Peng, I think the evidence is sufficient. It should be enough for the temporary court to convict him, right?"
"Even so, I still hope to get him to talk. The current evidence all points to him alone, and there is no information about his accomplices." Peng Ziyi said.
"So what are you going to do?"
"If it were in the original world, we might only be able to rely on various psychological attacks and tricks. But here, we have another choice, which is magic. I have learned the Soul Bridge magic that Xiao Chen taught us. Through this magic, I can observe the memories in Chu Ying's mind, and I can also share these effects with you." Peng Ziyi's eyes went back and forth between Li Mingde and Mo Lanxin, seeing their reactions. Speaking of magic, both of them seemed a little hesitant, but Li Mingde's expression soon became firm, while Mo Lanxin was still wavering.
"Chu Ying must have accomplices. If we can't find them, the school will never have peace. I agree to use this method. The committee said before that as long as the three of us agree, we can act at our own convenience." Because he truly hated such parasites, the old professor seemed very decisive at this time.
Mo Lanxin said, "But... this is a precedent. Can you use magic to pry open a person's head when you encounter this situation in the future?"
Peng Ziyi said seriously: "Teacher Mo, this is a magical world. The power of magic will always be used in various places. Instead of letting some people use it secretly, it is better for us to use it in a standardized way. This may bring better reference value to future generations."
"Yes. Team Leader Mo, an old man like me knows how to keep up with the times. You should really have fewer concerns."
"Okay then." Mo Lanxin finally compromised.
Back in the interrogation room, Peng Ziyi said to Chu Ying: "We have decided to use magic on you. I am giving you one last chance. You still have time to confess where you originally placed the documents and who your accomplices are."
Chu Ying's face turned pale, but he finally shook his head and said, "I refuse."
"Then it's not my fault." Peng Ziyi called two helpers to fix Chu Ying, and then began to cast magic. While casting the spell, he continued to interrogate him, forcing him to recall the relevant images. Chu Ying's mental power was much stronger than Baron Goya's, and the images he saw were more complete. However, when Peng Ziyi pieced together several fragments of the image, he was stunned by the image displayed.
"Chairman Guo!" Li Mingde and Mo Lanxin, who shared the screen on both sides, exclaimed in unison.
