Chapter 653
653 The interrogation
The Wu family in Northeast China, this demon descendant family, had officially appeared. It was recorded in the genealogy about 180 years ago. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had just signed the first unequal treaty in the history of China.
The start of the First Opium War indicated that this dynasty of nearly 300 years was heading toward destruction.
In times of chaos, there were already heroes, and at the same time, there were thieves.
When the Qing regime weakened, their control over the country would also fall. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were many demon descendant families, and the Wu family was not remarkable at that time.
However, most of the demon descendant families that sprung up after the rain were crushed by the rolling trend of the times. The Wu family had persisted through the chaotic times and walked towards peace. Until today, it had become one of the seven major surnames in the demon descendant community.
About three or four months ago, li Xianyu, with the aura of the war Spirit’s descendant, went to the northeast.
In an instant, the gunpowder explosion that had been brewing for several years caused the demons Alliance and the Wu family to suffer heavy losses. The demons Alliance underwent a reform, and the Wu family’s direct bloodline was almost wiped out, falling from a super-first-class demon descendant family to the ranks of the first-class families.
From its influence all over the country, it could only influence the northeast Now.
Li Xianyu did not find any clues in the Wu family’s information, which was expected. If the clues were so easy to find, baoze would have caught them long ago.
If the Wu family had not exposed the secret of refining the ” unparalleled war spirit, ” li Xianyu would not have realized that the Wu family was related to the ancient demon.
“How’s the Wu family now?” After li Xianyu finished reading the information, he finished his cigarette and snuffed out the cigarette in the ashtray.
“It should be quite nourishing.” Lightning King said.
“Nourish?” Li Xianyu thought that this shouldn’t be the case. He had just suffered a heavy blow, and was suppressed again in the tide of cutting vassals. Shouldn’t he be lowering his head with his tail between his legs?
Lightning King paused for a moment and said, ” “Do you know who the head of the northeast Branch is?”
Li Xianyu shook his head.
“After Wu and the Wu family’s direct line of descent died, fire god was originally the Minister of the northeast Branch, but he later died in the great deities Palace. He hadn’t thought of who to give this seat to. As you know, the northeast Branch is different from the other branches. One branch is in charge of three provinces. People without a certain level of skill can’t sit in a position. Even that useless Minister Wu actually has some skills.”
but the candidate wasn’t decided, and the big boss went in first. The position of the northeast Branch Minister was then appointed by the Board of Directors.
Li Xianyu frowned. not from the company? ” he asked.
“Yes, it’s the Board of Directors. You don’t know him.” Lightning King sighed. bureaucrats who sit in the office have a common problem. They are slippery, shrewd, and sophisticated. It’s not that it’s not good, but to be able to suppress people, you must have some courage and domineering spirit.”
“Are the Board of Directors all good-for-nothings? don’t they know how to use people?”
“No, the Board of Directors is very smart. This is the kind of Minister they want. Because it was easy to control, baoze’s first-tier employees were too hot-blooded and murderous, so it was difficult to control them unless they could be suppressed. As for those who were more experienced, they were usually more sensible and obedient. Slippery doesn’t mean useless. Although he won’t make any great achievements, he can still maintain stability.”
he’s able to control and maintain stability at the same time. Don’t you think that’s exactly what the Board of Directors wants? ”
Li Xianyu nodded and continued.
“The northeast was originally a tripartite confrontation: the branch, the demons Alliance, and the Wu family. However, for some reason, the leader of the demons Alliance suddenly disappeared. The five families of the demons Alliance became very low-key during this time and did not cause trouble. Plus, the head of the branch always values peace, so how can the Wu family not be happy?”
Ka!
Li Xianyu turned on the lighter, lit a cigarette, and did not continue the topic. He pulled out another piece of information from the document bag.
This information was taken after the Wu family’s base camp was destroyed. They searched the huge underground ice storage of the Wu family and found the photos taken when they were secretly refining the unparalleled war spirit.
In the background was a pale light, and naked bodies were stored in the refrigerator. The bodies were engraved with strange runes, and the surface of their skin was glowing with a dark green luster.
This was the evidence of the crime that baoze had announced at the beginning. At that time, it was a very serious matter to cripple a super-class demon descendant family. There were protests everywhere in the demon descendant community, and baoze did not dare to act arbitrarily.
Therefore, evidence was needed to prove the Wu family’s crime.
call the head of the northeast Branch and ask him to arrest the current head of the Wu family, his wife, children, and elders. Bring them to the headquarters. Li Xianyu snuffed out the cigarette and gave an order.
In the green smoke, his expression was cold and majestic, with the fierceness of a decisive killer and the solemnity of a superior.
Is he giving me orders?
Lightning King clearly remembered that in July last year, this handsome young man dressed like an ordinary person and came to baoze for an interview for the first time in the revolving restaurant on the top floor.
In front of him, he showed an ingratiating and vigilant smile, his attitude was humble and restrained, and he carefully came into contact with the demon descendants community and baoze. He was accompanied by the unparalleled war spirit.
It seemed to be just yesterday, but it also felt like many, many years had passed. The young man from back then had grown into an all-powerful hero in the baptism of time.
Unknowingly, time passed by.
Lightning King dialed the landline of the northeast branch’s Minister and connected. The middle-aged successor on the other side smiled brightly. “Lightning King, why did you call me? Do you have any work advice? Wait a moment, I’ll prepare a pen and paper.”
For no reason, li Xianyu thought of his adoptive father, the old hooligan who entered the state-owned enterprise by relying on relatives. He had been in the system for most of his life. His position was not high, but he had a strong bureaucratic tone.
Li Xianyu often heard him speak in this tone when he was on the phone with his leaders or clients.
In the past, he only felt that his adoptive father was useless and would never be promoted in his life. He only had face and no substance. Only now did she know that he was just forcing a smile.
His heart was in the martial world, and he was in the workplace.
He had never been happy.
stop mocking me, ” lightning King said angrily. there’s serious business.
“Please go ahead,” the person on the other end of the phone chuckled.
“Immediately arrest all the elders, the head of the Wu family, and their family members within three generations. Then, send it to the headquarters.”
There was no reply from the other end of the phone. After a pause, he said, ” Dharmaraja, I didn’t receive any documents.
I’ll send you the documents now. You can start making arrangements immediately.
“Does Minister Cai Lun know about this?”
“It’s none of his business.”
“Lightning King, the Wu family is a big family of demon descendants, we can’t do anything without a reason. That’s not a good influence.” As soon as the other party heard that it wasn’t cai Lun’s intention, he immediately said in an official tone, ”
“The northeast has finally stabilized. If you do this, you’ll cause chaos again. The Board of Directors will never allow it. By then, you might be fine, but I’ll be out of luck.”
Lightning King said lightly, ” so what if it’s a big demon descendant family? when baoze beat them up, the Wu family was still a super-class force. The big boss has been planning for so long and finally pushed baoze to its current position, but now they’re scared?”
alright, I’ll call and ask Minister Cai.
“Department head Zhou, my words don’t work anymore?”
“Look at what you’re saying. I definitely didn’t mean it that way. But as you know, since the Board of Directors took over baoze, you and Minister Cai handled Affairs together. It’s a double-Minister system. I’m just following the rules.”
Lightning King looked at li Xianyu and shrugged.
I told you, my words are no longer of any use.
Li Xianyu reached out for the microphone. Minister Zhou? ”
“Who are you?” As soon as the other party heard that it was not lightning King, he did not beat around the bush. His voice was calm, revealing the calmness of a leader.
“Li Xianyu!” Without waiting for the other party to speak, li Xianyu continued, ” “The lightning is just to convey my order. I don’t want to repeat it again. If you can’t get him to the headquarters before dark, you can quit your position as the Minister. Don’t try to fool me with the excuse that you’re not at home. It’s New Year’s Eve tonight.”
Li, Li Xianyu?! The other party’s voice suddenly rose, as if he was shocked.
After all, he was an experienced person. He took a deep breath and said in a respectful and disbelieving voice, ” how do you prove that you are li Xianyu? ”
Minister Zhou had never interacted with li Xianyu, and could not identify li Xianyu’s identity from his voice.
“You can choose not to believe me.”
“…. I …”
Pa! Li Xianyu slapped the microphone back to the landline.
for such a slippery and shrewd bureaucrat, he must have called Cai Lun by now to make sure that I’m not in the headquarters. Li Xianyu laughed. I guess Cai Lun will come up in five minutes. Let’s make a bet? ”
Sure enough, as li Xianyu had expected, in less than five minutes, lightning King’s door was knocked a few times. After getting permission, the one who pushed the door open was Cai Lun.
Seeing li Xianyu, he showed an appropriate amount of surprise. “God li is here too.”
God li …
Li Xianyu nodded.
Cai Lun put the documents in his hand on lightning King’s desk, gave a cigarette, and sat down. He said seriously, ” “Lightning King, I have a few cases on hand to investigate recently. I’m afraid I don’t have time to deal with the matter you’ve entrusted me with. Can you work on it yourself during this period?”
“Alright,” lightning King laughed.
After finishing his cigarette, cailun nodded. “Then I won’t disturb you anymore.”
He got up and left.
“You’re very sensible,” Lightning King flicked his cigarette ash.
Cai Lun’s words just now were actually a subtle return of power.
“I understand.” Li Xianyu sighed. in the end, I still lived the way I hated the most.
At three O ‘clock in the afternoon, the Wu family elders, the family master, and their relatives within three generations were escorted to baoze’s headquarters. They were locked up in the basement.
When li Xianyu received the news, he was teaching battle lady in the training room. More than half a year ago, she was also in the training room, guiding li Xianyu in combat. Today, half a year later, they had exchanged positions.
In less than 30 years, the river had changed.
Battle lady had realized that the gap between her and Li Xianyu was getting bigger and bigger, and she was practicing harder and harder. Her talent wasn’t weak, and she had already touched the threshold of the top S-Class. But even the top S-Class was a drop in the bucket for li Xianyu.
No one could make rapid progress in just a few months. Although battle lady was a cheater, she was not a cheater.
In her own self-deprecating words, she said,”now I’m already a poor wife.”
Half a year ago, this little red guy still needed my protection.
The underground floor was not used to hold criminals, but an interrogation room. It also served as a Temporary Detention Center.
Usually, demon descendants who committed crimes would be taken to the underground floor and bailed out. Or, if the crime was not serious, they could go out with a fine. Those who had committed serious crimes would be locked up on the corresponding floor according to their strength after interrogation.
On the seventh level of the battle God pass, the big boss directly entered the eighth level. Only the eighth level could trap Gokudo Masters.
Li Xianyu met the current head of the Wu family, Wu Ding, and the four elders in the interrogation room.
Before he even entered the house, he could already hear a clamor from inside.”What right do you have to arrest us? let us out. Let us go back to the northeast.”
“Shut up! So what if I catch you? if you make any more noise, I’ll beat you to death.” There were several loud sounds of people hitting the table.
It sounded like a tentacle monster … Li Xianyu pushed open the door of the interrogation room and saw Kato Eagle’s finger and tentacle monster. The latter was standing on a chair, and his telekinesis turned into tentacles, slapping the table. The former sat on the chair and smoked in boredom.
“You guys go out for a while, I have something to ask them.” Li Xianyu said.
The tentacle monster nodded and walked out of the interrogation room. Kato Eagle threw a cigarette to li Xianyu. “Let’s book the entire night club tonight and celebrate New Year’s Eve together. Wan na come?”
“I want to go home and accompany my mother.” Li Xianyu refused.
Pa! Li Xianyu closed the door of the interrogation room, sat down slowly, and took out a big chicken from his pocket. “Do you want one?”
No one spoke, and the Wu family instantly became obedient.
“Do you know why we captured you?” Li Xianyu took a puff of his cigarette. In the detective novels he had read, when the police analyzed the case and interrogated the prisoners, they had to hold a cigarette in their hands to show the stability and wisdom of mature men.
The clan elders looked at each other and finally looked at the current clan head, Wu Ding, in unison. The latter took a deep breath and said in a tough tone, ” “Who knows …”
He paused and felt that he did not have the right to be tough, so his tone turned weak.”We didn’t commit any crimes, didn’t do anything out of line, didn’t harm ordinary people, and didn’t disrupt social order. Why did you capture us?”
“Before the truth is out, don’t be so sure.” Li Xianyu wagged his finger. then, I’m now solemnly informing you that baoze is arresting you on anti-human charges.
Anti-humanity?
Everyone in the Wu family widened their eyes, and their first thought was that baoze was looking for a groundless crime to weaken the demon descendant families.
“Why do you say that …” An elder’s voice trembled.
tell me, where did the Wu family get the array diagram? the array diagram to refine the unparalleled war spirit. Li Xianyu said in a deep voice.
