'This is a... a somewhat special girl.'
Fang Ze silently defined her in his heart.
And perhaps because he knew of her "ability," Fang Ze also stopped eating.
He took out the case files and a notebook and began to take detailed notes on the information the girl had observed.
It had to be said, the girl had indeed observed a considerable amount of information.
She not only described clearly the gangs Qiu Yue had been in contact with and the subordinates she was close to, but also some official personnel she frequented and the suspected backers from the Governing Hall.
Frankly speaking, if all this information were accurate, Fang Ze would have had enough to report even without conducting an interrogation tonight.
This made Fang Ze pay even more attention to the girl before him.
Before long, Nan Yi arrived at the detention room with her companions.
Even without Zhixi's insight, Fang Ze could still see the hesitation and conflict on the faces of Nan Yi's companions.
Regardless, they had indeed come here and made their choice.
Therefore, after confirming their decision once more, Fang Ze added them to the members' list of the Special Case Team.
A Saint disregards intent; it didn't matter what they thought, but since they made the choice to follow him,
Fang Ze was willing to offer them a future, a high starting point.
Among these people, Fang Ze valued Nan Yi's twin sister, Zhixi, the most.
So, before leaving, Fang Ze made a point to call Zhixi aside and shake her hand.
Zhixi seemed to have sensed something but ultimately shook hands with Fang Ze.
Perhaps because he came from another world, Fang Ze had a great deal of goodwill toward this girl who lacked talent in strength but possessed an astonishing gift for insight.
He always felt that he might be able to use her again in the future...
After sending off the group of Reserve Commissioners who had thrown in their lot with him, Fang Ze went to check on the two suspects again.
This time, Kai Shi probably learned from his previous experiences and greeted him as soon as they met, his face even bearing a pleasing smile, making it hard to fault him for anything.
After walking around a couple of times and truly finding no reasonable excuse, Fang Ze used the morning's attitude as a reason and stabbed him two more times!
Looking at the six holes in his body, Kai Shi... completely gave in.
When going to see Qiu Yue, Qiu Yue had already realized that Fang Ze was toying with her and deliberately exhausting her energy, so she started to ignore Fang Ze outright.
Fang Ze didn't mind; he chuckled and said, "I'll come to interrogate you in a bit." Then he strolled off again....
Watching his retreating figure, Qiu Yue glared at him fiercely and then secretly cursed in her heart, "I don't believe you for a second!"
Fang Ze had been saying all day he would conduct her interrogation, so her heart had been in a state of suspense all day long.
A strong start can lead to a waning effort, resulting in exhaustion on the third attempt. Now that it was evening, she was also somewhat weary.
So..... while cursing Fang Ze in her heart for being inhumane, she also drifted off to sleep unknowingly....
When Qiu Yue woke up again, she found a table and a chair had been added in front of her, with Fang Ze sitting across from her.
Qiu Yue looked around and found she was still in the detention room. Everything was still the "familiar" environment, which somewhat reassured her.
At that moment, Fang Ze gestured with his hand, "Sit. Director Qiu Yue, let's start today's interrogation."
Having slept for a while, Qiu Yue estimated that it must now be late at night.
So, with just one glance, she saw through Fang Ze's strategy: draining her energy all day so that at her most weary and least alert, he would begin a surprise interrogation to obtain her testimony.
This was a commonly used interrogation technique in this world, so she was not at all flustered.
Thinking this, she obediently sat down on the chair and resolved to not cooperate no matter what was asked.
At this time, Fang Ze also held pen and paper, glanced down at a notebook's contents, then said, "Then, Director Qiu Yue, if there are no problems, we'll begin today's interrogation."
"First off, who is your superior?"
Qiu Yue was taken aback, then scoffed and said directly, "I don't have a superior, you've wronged me. I'm going to report you all to the Governing Hall!"
Originally, Qiu Yue thought her response had no issues.
But then, something odd happened.
As she spoke, Fang Ze's face showed a hint of confusion, then he said, "Minister Qianfeng? Are you talking about Minister Qianfeng from the Supervisory Department of the Governing Hall?"
"Good. Now I understand."
"Do you know who is backing Minister Qianfeng?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Qiu Yue was startled!
And then she was completely bewildered.
She thought back to her own words just now, she had answered, "I have no superior, I've been wronged," right?
But the other party seemed to have heard a completely different answer?
The issue was.... that answer was also correct!
And as Qiu Yue was in shock and confusion,
Fang Ze continued, "Understood. So it's Municipal Councilor, Commissioner Wang."
This time Qiu Yue truly paused.
Because.... Qianfeng's superior was not Commissioner Wang. It was Commissioner Jiang.
In the Governing Hall of the high-tier city, there are a total of 12 councilors.
They include the heads of eight key departments such as the Director of the Security Bureau, Director of the Investigation Bureau, and four full-time commissioners. They form the city's highest authority.
Both Commissioner Wang and Commissioner Jiang are among the four full-time commissioners.
But Commissioner Wang didn't have any notable background, while Commissioner Jiang was the legitimate son of one of Xida State's three nobilities, the Jiang Family, serving his tenure in Emerald City.
