"This is Consultant Xia, he's here to take a look at the situation."
While Xia Xu was thinking, Zhang Qun was also introducing himself to the person in charge in the interrogation room.
"Advisor Xia?"
The person in charge was slightly surprised and confused for a moment, but still stood up to greet him in a friendly manner: "Hello, Consultant Xia, my name is Chen Xiao, and I am temporarily in charge of interrogating this beastman. You can just call me Old Chen."
"Hello, my name is Xia Xu, and I'm the temporary consultant assisting the special operations team in tracking down these beastmen."
Xia Xu smiled gently and said, "I came here to learn more about the situation. I hope I didn't disturb you, Brother Chen?"
"I'm not disturbing you, but I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Advisor Xia. This guy is very stubborn and I haven't had time to ask him anything yet."
Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, then pulled out an empty chair next to him and motioned for Xia Xu to sit down.
This interrogation room was actually divided into two halves. They were in the outer layer, which had tables and chairs for daily use. Inside was an interrogation room separated by high-strength glass. Yu Zhengqing was in the interrogation room, tied up in a special restraint chair.
To be precise, it should be a restraint bed, because you can see an obvious telescopic and folding structure on the chair. Now when it is bent and arched, it is a chair, but when it is laid flat, it can probably become a restraint bed. Yu Zhengqing's limbs are stuck on the metal rods on the edge by metal bars.
"Brother Chen, do you mind if I do it for you?"
Xia Xu sat down on the chair next to Chen Xiao, then turned his head to look at him with a smile.
"Of course I don't mind. I'm looking forward to it. It's a good time to take a break, haha."
Chen Xiao made a gesture to indicate that he was welcome to go ahead.
"I'll give you a chance. Do you want to be released?"
After getting Chen Xiao's approval, Xia Xu stood up, left the interrogation table and came to the isolated glass window, half-lying on the windowsill with a cynical look.
"I do, I really do, sir. I've been wronged. I'm really not a vampire. How could there be such a thing as a vampire in this world? It's ridiculous."
Yu Zhengqing showed surprise, then panicked and at a loss, "I did say that I was bitten by a bat just now, but I really didn't know what to do. I was afraid of being tortured into confessing, so I lied to cover up... Sir, what do you want me to do to be released? Tell me, I will do it."
"I'm sorry, but your chance is gone now. I thought you would be a more interesting opponent, but your performance has disappointed me greatly."
At this moment, Xia Xu suddenly changed the subject, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face, with a hint of regret.
"Ah? Why? Sir, is there anything I did that you are not satisfied with? I will definitely change it! Do you think I should change my job?"
Yu Zhengqing half-truthfully revealed a strong panic and confusion.
"When you came in just now, you showed me how you lie."
Xia Xu smiled and raised an index finger.
"Sir, I really didn't lie, just now..."
Yu Zhengqing is still trying to defend himself.
But Xia Xu smiled and stretched out his middle finger next to his raised index finger, making a two gesture, and said with a smile: "And in the question just now, you let me see how you tell the truth. After all, no normal person would not want to get out of trouble, right?"
"this… "
Yu Zhengqing was a little confused now. He didn't know what the little kid in front of him wanted to express, and was speechless for a moment.
"That's why talking to people with low IQ is so boring."
Xia Xu shrugged, looking uninterested: "If I say that after I've identified your lies and truthfulness, you no longer have any secrets in front of me, you probably won't believe it, right?"
As he spoke, he complained in a dull tone: "I thought that the official special department inviting me here would bring me some challenges, but I didn't expect it to be so boring."
"… "
Yu Zhengqing finally understood what Xia Xu meant. He didn't show it on his face, but his heart was filled with speechless.
Obviously, this is just a psychological offensive, and a very crude one.
"See, I know it."
Xia Xu sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it. Although I really don't want to bully the mentally retarded, in order to prevent someone from overthrowing my temporary consultant position, I will still reluctantly show it to you."
When he said the middle half of the sentence, he glanced at Zhang Qun out of the corner of his eye.
It is normal procedure to use some psychological offensive and deception techniques during interrogation. Therefore, no matter whether Xia Xu said that Yu Zhengqing should be released or made other remarks, Chen Xiao and Zhang Qun did not interrupt.
But at this moment Zhang Qun was not sure whether Xia Xu was really complaining or something, so he could only laugh dryly again.
"Come on, let's get into the interrogation phase. First question, are you really unaware of the changes in your body?"
It seemed that Xia Xu just wanted to point out the conflict between himself and Zhang Qun so as to make his current words and actions seem more reasonable. After Zhang Qun gave a dry laugh, he stopped pestering him and turned to ask Yu Zhengqing with a playful look on his face.
Yu Zhengqing denied it in a panic as always: "I really don't know, sir, I... How could I inexplicably turn into a vampire-like monster like you said? Even if I really turned into that, I would never take the initiative to kill people!"
"Look, the lie is so obvious, it's almost like a TV drama starring some young actors."
Xia Xu propped his elbows on the windowsill, spread his hands helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's get to the point now. As far as we know, you were living a normal life most of the time before. This extreme and crazy crime should have started not long ago, right?"
Yu Zhengqing looked anxious: "Sir, I really didn't..."
"Oh, it seems so. So there must be some trigger, some special situation that caused you to mutate? Or you have mutated before, but you just didn't commit large-scale crimes?"
Xia Xu raised his hand to stop Zheng Qing from speaking, and continued to mutter to himself as if he had gotten the answer, staring straight at his face while he spoke.
For some unknown reason, Yu Zhengqing, who had originally believed that this was a psychological attack, suddenly felt a little scared.
"It looks like the latter answer. You have already mutated or been transformed into a beastman a long time ago, but recently due to some inducement or accident, your condition has worsened and you no longer have time to hide it."
Xia Xu suddenly smiled again, which made Yu Zhengqing feel a little creepy. He said confidently, and then thought for a moment: "Let me think about it, what special things have happened in Decheng recently..."
"XC District demolition?... That doesn't seem right."
"I guessed in the wrong direction, right? It should be something more explosive, like the explosion at night a while ago?"
"Oh, I guessed it right this time. See, it's pretty simple."
Xia Xu stared at Yu Zhengqing and talked to himself, but the words he uttered had already made Yu Zhengqing unable to control his mind anymore, and his face changed slightly.
