章節 42: Interrogation
編輯: Henyee Translations
"I'm confident in you." Dugu Huangcheng smiled.
"Father, there's one more thing." Dugu Luo paused for a while, "Commander Hao Tian took the herbs of the Sirius Gang. I heard that it wasn't approved by you."
"Hm." Dugu Huangcheng nodded. "I know about it. Hao Tian is just a bit reckless. He has a good reason for doing that. He heard that Jiang Li is working with the Monsters, so he asked his men to take away the herbs. Jiang Li has indeed been a bit weird lately. Besides, it's only a third-rate gang. What can they possibly do? Yongan City is still my territory after all."
"I think you better be careful," Dugu Luo said, "I was planning to rope Jiang Li in, but I don't have the chance anymore because of Hao Tian. I'm also curious why Jiang Li needs so many ordinary herbs. Is he an alchemist? Does he need these herbs for practicing?"
Dugu Huangcheng waved and interrupted Dugu Luo. "It's not a big deal. Don't be distracted from serious matters because of it."
"Hm." Dugu Luo nodded.
"My Lord, may I come in?" Outside the room Zhang Ling's voice sounded.
"Zhang Ling." Dugu Luo frowned.
"Come in," Dugu Huangcheng said.
…
At the Sirius Gang.
When Jiang Li and the others got back, they shut the door immediately and didn't let anyone get close to the headquarters. At the same time, they brought the monster into the interrogation room.
Around the headquarters of the gang there were many City Guards in casual outfits hiding. Hao Tian ordered them to keep an eye on the Sirius Gang, but they couldn't see anything.
In the interrogation room, it was dark and had some fishy smell. There were all kinds of torturing instruments with dried blood all over them on the wall.
"Chief, I'm Bai Zhanbo." A middle-aged man stood in front of Jiang Li. He had a few scars on his face. His hair was messy and he was wearing casual clothes.
"Chief, Bai Zhanbo is the best interrogator of the Quicksand Hall. He knows all kinds of interrogation and torturing techniques. Nothing can be hidden from him," Wang Pingyuan said.
"Hehe, Chief, interrogation isn't my main purpose. I just love to hear people scream. Every time they scream, I feel excited. That feeling is addictive." Bai Zhanbo cracked a creepy smile.
"I'm not interested in what you like." Jiang Li glanced at Bai Zhanbo and waved his right hand. "Bring her here."
"Yes." Wang Long walked to Jiang Li with a black sack. He opened the bag and threw the monster on the ground.
"Hm, hm…" The monster, with a snake head and a human body covered in green scales, showed half of her body. Her mouth was covered, so she couldn't speak. She looked at Jiang Li and the others with fear in her eyes. She was trembling.
"A… A monster!" Wang Pingyuan exclaimed and backed away. He looked at Jiang Li in fear, "Ch… Chief, why is there a monster?"
"A monster!" Bai Zhanbo's eyes popped out.
"I sent someone to catch her," Jiang Li said.
"Bai Zhanbo, from now on, you have only one mission. Make this monster talk and tell us everything she knows." Jiang Li pointed at the monster with a snake head and human body, and said, "Remember, everything."
"Hehehe…" Bai Zhanbo suddenly grinned and his body shook. He wasn't scared, but thrilled. His smile became more and more perverted and he licked his lips. "Chief, you're incredible. I've 'interrogated' many people, but this is the first monster I've ever encountered. What will it feel like? What kind of experience will it be? The unknown is always exciting. No, I can't wait any longer. I must start now. I must start now…"
"Let's go." Jiang Li glanced at Bai Zhanbo and left.
"…"
Wang Pingyuan sized up the monster and quickly looked away. He followed Jiang Li and walked out of the interrogation room.
"Cutie, we're going to start. Be good." Bai Zhanbo smiled. His eyes had become the shape of a crescent. He slowly knelt down and reached out his right hand.
"Hm, hm…"
The monster struggled hard, as if she saw something terrifying and wanted to avoid it, but her limbs were broken. It was useless no matter how hard she tried.
A few meches stood outside and guarded the door of the interrogation room.
"Nobody is allowed to enter or leave the interrogation room without my permission," Jiang Li said.
"Yes." The meches replied.
"Wang Pingyuan, do you know where Bai Zhanbo comes from?" Jiang Li asked.
"Chief, I'm not sure about it." Wang Pingyuan pondered for a while and said, "Heng Liusha brought him back six months ago and he became the interrogator of the gang. He helped Heng Liusha solve quite a lot of problems. I heard that he's a criminal and Heng Liusha took him in."
"A criminal." Jiang Li mumbled, "He indeed looks like one."
"Chief, do you think Bai Zhanbo would take revenge for Heng Liusha because you killed him?" Wang Pingyuan paused and asked.
"It's possible." Jiang Li nodded. "Keep an eye on him. If something goes wrong, you'll be responsible for it."
"Well…" Wang Pingyuan looked unwilling. Clever people could see that Bai Zhanbo's mental state wasn't normal. So, Wang Pingyuan certainly didn't want to monitor such a man. Nobody knew what Bai Zhanbo would do.
"Alright," Wang Pingyuan said after seeing Jiang Li's expressionless face.
"Chief, the monster…"
"She's just a captive," Jiang Li said. "If you don't have anything important to do, don't go around. Just stay here. Hu Dong and Zhou Tianzhang aren't here and there are a lot of things you need to deal with."
"Yes," Wang Pingyuan said. "Got it."
"Argh!" Suddenly, a scream came from the interrogation room. Wang Pingyuan shook and turned around with a frightened look.
"What is Bai Zhanbo doing? Why is the monster screaming so painfully?" Wang Pingyuan thought.
"I hope he doesn't kill the monster before getting something from her. She is the only monster I've got. We'll have nothing if she dies." Jiang Li frowned and was a bit worried. "It'll be harder to catch another peak-stage monster next time."
In the meantime, at Stone Village. A team of one thousand monsters showed up. They patrolled around, as if they were welcoming some heavy hitter.
"My Lord, something's wrong." In an instant those monsters found out about the "tragedy" that happened here. More than thirty dead bodies lay on the ground and the cages were also broken.
"Miss Qing Ya." Bang! The Commander of the monsters, who was at the perfected stage of level one, rushed past a thousand monsters to the front and entered the tent.
"I don't see her," the monster with a lion head and human body said. He had thick and brown yellow hair, and he was wearing brown armor. "I don't see her body either. Qing Ya must have been caught. We must report this to the General immediately. If something happens to Miss Qing Ya, we'll be dead."
…
That evening, Xu Ya, Wu Zong and Pang Kui entered the headquarters of the Sirius Gang on a carriage and came to the Chief's compound.
Wu Zong and Pang Kui took the "Vitality Strengthening Pills" not long before, so they had formed their internal force and became Martial Artists of early-stage level one. Xu Ya hadn't reached the next level, but she focused on building a stronger foundation.
