After nearly half an hour of detailed and repeated interrogation, Kidd and Busujima Saeko regained their freedom and received apologies and certain compensation from the other garrison. After all, their original idea and actions were to stop the crazy Nie Feng from continuing to hurt people.
After leaving the interrogation room, Busujima Saeko looked back at the building behind her. The three-story interrogation room was the most serious building in the town. The thick outer walls had a dark tone, and the walls had small windows and few windows, which made people feel daunting.
Busujima Saeko said, "It makes sense once I explain it. It seems like the other party has a tool to detect panic."
Kidd nodded, "Of course there is, but the key reason why we were able to get out so quickly is that the level of civilization and social moral standards of this Nanzhao country are not low."
Just as Kidd said, the main reason they were able to escape safely and quickly this time was due to Nanzhao's current spirit of pursuing justice and morality. This spirit has profoundly influenced every law enforcement officer. Therefore, they did not enforce the foolish principle of presumption of guilt but the principle of presumption of innocence, thus protecting the personal rights of the innocent to the greatest extent possible.
Busujima Saeko also agreed with Kidd's statement, and her impression of the Nanzhao Kingdom had greatly improved. Looking at the flying poisonous insects, Busujima Saeko had always been worried that this would be the bloody and chaotic primitive tribe she had imagined, but now it seemed that the flying poisonous insects were purely a manifestation of a different culture.
After walking a little further away, Busujima Saeko tilted her head and looked at Kidd, and continued in a low voice, "Actually, I feel like we hit the wrong person. The infected person should be someone else."
Kidd touched his nose and said, "Yes, I have the same feeling. He must have been in close contact with the infected, and his mental state was not right, which caused the energy to entangle around him."
Busujima Saeko crossed her arms and thought, "Actually, this is a good thing. He was not assimilated directly despite his poor mental state. This at least means that the infection level of the infected person should be the lowest. In this case, as long as he is found in time, he may still be able to be saved."
Kidd shook his head silently. Busujima Saeko's idea was a little too beautiful. Once the infection started, it would not be stopped by external force alone. The other party must sincerely turn back.
However, the possibility of making people who are entangled by chaotic energy turn back on their own is basically zero, because it is not because of these people's contact with chaotic energy that they are infected and fall into depravity. To put it more clearly, chaotic energy is attracted by these people.
"That being said, where is that guy called Lin Tiannan? It would be nice if there was a mission guide..." Busujima Saeko became depressed as she spoke. This town is not big, but it has a population of more than 50,000. In addition, it is during the exchange period, so there are thousands of Tang people from outside. If they really want to hide in such a big place, it will be really hard to find them.
Kidd could not deny it and just wiped his glasses. They were now in a dilemma. The mission had to continue and the infected had to be tracked. They couldn't even split themselves, so where would all the manpower come from
On the other side, in the interrogation room, Tang Yu was looking through the transcripts left by Busujima Saeko and others, and his heart was very heavy.
No one knows what has happened recently, but the originally peaceful Nanzhao has become less and less peaceful. Sometimes there are madmen causing trouble and sometimes there are rumors about jade that can fulfill people's wishes. The invisible storms raised by these things cannot be suppressed even by the poisonous insect Feng Bojing.
"Elder Tang, those two are on their way back to the resettlement center. They seem to be talking about something. Our staff didn't dare to get too close. Even with the help of earworms, we could only hear a few nouns. It seems to be a person's name - Lin Tiannan."
"Lin Tiannan?!" Tang Yu put down the records in his hand when he heard this. He knew this person, the previous leader of Tang Guonan's martial arts world and a famous knight!
"That's right. We also questioned the original residents of the inn and the waiter who woke up. We found that the key person who caused this battle might be Lin Tiannan."
"Why do you say that?" Tang Yu asked his subordinates. He guessed that his subordinates might not know who Lin Tiannan was. After all, Dean Baiyue had been closed off from the outside world for so many years for the sake of the overall development of Nanzhao, and only resumed exchanges with neighboring countries in recent years.
"According to the inn staff, combined with the corpse found in the room and Yan Feng's roar before he went crazy, investigators unanimously believe that it was this Tang man named Lin Tiannan who sneaked in and killed people. Yan Feng returned to the room and went into a frenzy after discovering the corpse, lost his mind, and ultimately caused this case." After his subordinates made a unified analysis, Tang Yu's face darkened.
"Eh~" Tang Yu shook his head and sighed, "Xiao Lin, how old are you this year? I remember you are a student of the fourth batch of the academy, and this is also your first time to contact the outside world."
Seeing Tang Yu suddenly change the subject, Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "I am eighteen years old this year. I am indeed the fourth batch to enter the academy. I am learning to cultivate and feed five-sense Gu worms. As for contact with the outside world, this is indeed my first contact with the Tang people. In fact, it is also the first case I handled."
"Yeah." Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He had no experience the first time, but there was still hope. "I want to ask you a question. Why did you conclude that Lin Tiannan was the cause of everything based on these few sentences?"
"This is the most logical answer, and their words have been tested on a lie detector," Kobayashi defended.
"First, the first class in the academy should have taught you that you should trust your insect partners but not blindly believe them. Second, even if what they say is correct, this is only the side they see. They haven't even interrogated the most important criminal, and you tell me that you have found the real murderer?! Third, when you just give me an answer casually! Don't you even check the suspects in advance?!" Tang Yu's voice became louder and louder. When he asked the last question, he slammed the table hard and stared at Xiao Lin.
Frightened by Tang Yu's anger, Xiao Lin shrank his neck, thought for a few seconds, then nodded and weakly uttered a word, "Yes."
"Ridiculous! Really ridiculous! Let me tell you who he is, Lin Tiannan, Tang Ren's resigned leader of the Southern Martial Arts World. Are you telling me that this guy with extraordinary martial arts skills traveled thousands of miles just to sneak into an inn, kill someone with his own hands and then hurried away?! Where's the evidence? Where's the direct evidence?!" Tang Yu roared.
"Maybe someone with the same name?" Xiao Lin thought about it and felt that it was a bit unbelievable that a former martial arts leader would come all the way to Nanzhao to kill people.
"Am I talking to you about identity?" Tang Yu became even more angry. "It's evidence. Even if he is a martial arts leader, he must be arrested if there is evidence that he killed someone in Nanzhao. Even if he is an ordinary person, he cannot be touched without evidence! Why do I feel that you are a bit of a bully?!"
Xiao Lin endured Tang Yu's saliva attack and dared not move.
With a swish, just as Tang Yu was getting more and more angry, the door was opened.
Tang Yu was stunned. "Anu, what's the matter?"
"No, I just feel that the sound insulation of this door is a bit poor." Anu knocked on the door with his knuckles raised and winked at Xiaolin.
Xiao Lin understood what Anu meant but didn't dare to move. He could only look at Tang Yu carefully.
Tang Yu, who was interrupted by Anu, lowered his head and waved at him, "Go and see if Yan Feng is awake. Use your brain more in the future. You are already eighteen years old, don't act like a ten-year-old child."
"Yes." Kobayashi turned around and left quickly, like a prisoner who had been pardoned, closing the door behind him.
"I'm telling you, don't be so angry. You've said a little too much. Do you want to eat something to cool off?" Anu sat next to Tang Yu and raised a pancake in her hand.
Tang Yu has never been able to deal with this lively and lovely girl in front of him, no matter before or after marriage, and no matter whether she is over 30 years old or not.
After taking the pancake and taking a small bite, Tang Yu calmed down a lot. "I don't want to be angry either, but these guys are a little simple-minded after reading so much. If we deal with those Tang people like this, won't we be sold out and have to count the money for them, and then say thank you?"
"You should also be more considerate of them. When they were old enough to understand, the Great Purge had ended and the country had begun to be closed to the outside world. In addition, the rapidly changing social situation made Uncle Baiyue dare not relax and he has been strictly enforcing morality and suppressing the existence of the dark side. At the most ruthless times, not even a trace of the dark side was allowed to appear in front of these children. That's why they have become so naive and even a little stupid now." Anu held Tang Yu's hand and said softly.
"I know, and the dean also knows it, so he started holding exchange meetings to let them communicate more with the outside world. But it's been three days, and there hasn't been any change. I don't even know where they got an inexplicable sense of superiority, and they're not doing things as seriously as before." Tang Yu answered while holding his wife's hand.
"Just teach me slowly. You were the same before, so silly." Anu looked at Tang Yu and suddenly laughed, as if he was thinking of Tang Yu when he was young.
"That's true." As Tang Yu spoke, the distance between his head and Anu became closer and closer.
With a swish, Xiaolin pushed open the door.
The veins on Tang Yu's head bulged into a tic-tac-toe pattern, and Anu quickly pinched his palm.
Tang Yu nodded, forced a smile, looked at Xiao Lin standing there, and said word by word, "What happened again? You didn't even knock on the door?"
Obviously, if Xiao Lin didn't have any urgent business this time, Tang Yu would definitely teach this guy a lesson.
Xiao Lin came back to his senses from the fact that he had disturbed his boss and teacher, and quickly said, "Yan Feng is awake!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way." Tang Yu stood up, let go of Anu's hand, followed Xiaolin, and asked him to lead the way. The casualties caused by this incident were not large, but the social impact was extremely bad. First, the mad Yan Feng made the people in the town begin to reject the Tang people, and secondly, the inexplicable death of Tang people made the town's public security begin to be questioned.
Anu looked at Tang Yu, who had ignored her when the important matter came up, and pouted a little dissatisfied. After rolling her eyes twice, she gently stretched out her finger, and a small poisonous insect jumped out from her fingertips, jumped all over the room, and stopped on a piece of floor after a while.
Anu put his hand on the floor and moved it back and forth several times. After the floor loosened a little, he lifted up the floor directly along the gap. Under the floor was paper silver bills.
With the corners of her mouth rising slightly, Anu took out two bills from Tang Yu's private money, then put the rest back in place, then put away the insect and walked out of the court. She also had her own responsibilities in this town, which was to maintain stability. As for how to maintain stability, as long as she continued to find various snacks on the streets, the town would be stable. Of course, she chose this method not because Anu was greedy.
Inside the detention room, Nie Feng was lying on the bed, staring upward with lifeless eyes. Several poisonous insects were crawling on his body, and their mouthparts pierced into his body, healing his injuries while also locking up the internal energy in his body.
However, it seemed that because the world was different, Nie Feng could feel that the purest wind power in his body could still be used. Although he had completely regained his composure and his IQ had returned to a high level, he now looked a little disheartened.
Tang Yu and his men walked quickly to the detention room. The prisoner guarding Nie Feng opened the door and let Tang Yu in.
Nie Feng glanced at Tang Yu. He had some impression of the cicada on this man's shoulder. He seemed to have seen it before he fainted. So this man should be a law enforcement officer who came to interrogate him.
Seeing Nie Feng turn his head, Tang Yu sat on the stool, "Yan Feng, considering that you indiscriminately attacked civilians in a public place, causing certain casualties, I am now interrogating you on behalf of the Nanzhao Court..."
Listening to Tang Yu's opening remarks, Nie Feng sighed a little. He was feeling complicated now. He wanted to think of nothing, but he couldn't do that. He thought about how he had chosen the pseudonym Yan Feng because he missed his mother. Now, not only was his mother who had passed away long ago still gone, but his master, his fellow disciples were gone, everything was gone.
After asking a lot of questions, Nie Feng didn't say a word. Tang Yu didn't care. This was quite normal. Not to mention that he was not tortured now, he would still not speak even if he was tortured. He had seen a lot of such cases during the Great Purge.
However, Nanzhao's current law enforcement requires humanity and minimizing violence during interrogations, except when there is no other way.
"Yan Feng, I actually admire you very much. You know, the waiter who was almost beaten to death by you was still apologizing for you when he woke up, saying that you must have been possessed by some evil poison, otherwise you wouldn't have become like that..." Tang Yu started to play the emotional card.
Nie Feng on the bed moved slightly. He could still remember the expression of the waiter who was slapped away by him, as well as his face which was a mixture of surprise and disbelief.
"It seems that you are unwilling to say anything, so we can only execute you..." Tang Yu stared at Nie Feng on the bed while speaking, "and issue a wanted order for Lin Tiannan..."
After hearing the last sentence, Nie Feng involuntarily turned his head to look at Tang Yu, wondering if this man was a fool.
"Don't worry, although you have made a big mistake, we will still seek justice for you, and the murderer will be brought to justice..." Tang Yu really acted like a fool.
"No...it's not him..." Nie Feng said in a hoarse voice.
