Chapter 133 Extorting Confessions by Torture
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Security Bureau, basement level.
Qin Mo stood side by side with Li Changqing, in front of the cell.
On this floor, apart from the two of them, there is only one Li Ming hiding in the air, and there are no other idlers.
Even Li Mo and Li Yuan did not participate in this top-secret interrogation. Their trust is top-notch, but their strength is too low.
"It's getting late, let's start."
Qin Mo turned his head and said to Li Changqing beside him, then he pulled the chair beside his legs, and Shi Shiran sat down.
Hearing this, Li Changqing nodded, stepped into the cell, stood opposite Xia Mei, stretched out his right hand and covered her head, and an extremely weak mental power quietly radiated out.
Tens of seconds later, Xia Mei, who was still in a deep sleep before, suddenly frowned slightly.
She raised her eyelids with difficulty, looked up, and her blurred vision gradually became clear.
At the same time, the dusty memories came like a flood. From the moment she was hugged out of the swaddle, scenes began to replay like a movie.
Some things that she had almost forgotten, now became extremely clear, as if they just happened yesterday.
The playback speed of memory is very fast, which is a great burden on Xia Mei's spirit, but she can't take the initiative to stop all this, she can only accept it passively.
Her forehead soon burst into blue veins, and her face was full of pain.
"What did you do to me?!" Xia Mei shouted angrily in a hoarse voice.
Seeing her like this, Li Changqing smiled slightly, and replied: "It's just a trick of the spiritual department, it's just for you to remember more clearly, so that you can take notes later, don't worry, take it easy, it will be over soon .”
"Ah!"
Xia Mei let out a muffled snort, and the memory in her mind was passing faster and faster. The final picture was frozen in the safe house, and then came to an abrupt end.
Li Changqing did not lie to her, this speed is really fast.
Xia Mei's body was slumped on the chair, her bangs were already soaked in sweat and stuck to her forehead, she didn't have a sense of charm.
By taking advantage of this brief respite, Xia Mei began to quickly check her physical condition and observe the surrounding environment along the way.
However, just looking at it for a while, her heart immediately sank.
She is in a very bad state now, showing weakness all over her body, how can she still look like an S-rank awakened person?
The internal organs, as well as the meridians and bones all have serious hidden injuries. The huge genetic power is like a pool of silent stagnant water, unable to make any waves.
In short, the current Xia Mei is not much different from an ordinary person, the only difference is that she has the body of a demigod.
"Don't waste your efforts anymore, your genes have been completely locked up by the secret mine, and it is almost impossible to break free by yourself."
Li Changqing smiled and said slowly, he knew all this, so he dared to get so close to her so boldly.
Where Xia Mei was opposite, when she heard the words "Secret Mine", a heart that had already sunk in the bottom of the sea shattered into four or five petals in an instant, and a faint sense of despair rose in her heart.
As Li Changqing said, with the help of the secret mine, it is absolutely impossible for her to escape.
For the present plan, we can only wait for others to rescue us.
It's just...Will the Xia family take this risk?
Xia Mei's eyes changed, she looked down at the silver rings on her wrists and ankles, her throat was bitter.
The silver rings are actually made of secret mines. They have the same effect as the handcuffs used by the Security Bureau before, and can suppress the genetic power in the human body.
But that kind of handcuffs are ineffective on S-level awakened people, only this kind of refined special silver ring can do it.
"So, can we talk now?"
Just when she was full of bitterness, Li Changqing took aim at the opportunity and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Xia Mei slowly raised her head, and casually swept around.
She saw Qin Mo sitting outside the cell, but she didn't care about his existence, she just turned her head to look at Li Changqing, and asked:
"What do you guys want to talk about?"
"Of course we are talking about how the Gaoling Xia Clan colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, how they supported the bandits, how they attacked and killed the important officials of the empire." Li Changqing smiled.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Mei froze in place, with the same shocked expression on her face as that of the dead Xia Jiuchuan.
How would he know?
How would the Security Bureau know?
What Li Changqing said above are all extremely secretive matters, and logically speaking, it is impossible to reveal them.
However, the reality cannot help her not to believe it.
The other party knows it clearly!
However, Xia Mei hid her shock very well. After less than a second of being in a daze, she immediately smiled and said delicately:
"This brother is really incomprehensible. Why can't I understand a single word of the Xia family collaborating with the enemy, treason, and assassinating important officials?"
"Oh? Don't understand? It seems that your mind is still a little unclear, so let you recall it again."
Li Changqing maintained his harmless smile, raised his hand again and released a weak spiritual force, covering Xia Mei's brain.
Immediately afterwards, all the memories started to play the movie at high speed again, only this time...
is upside down.
The painful screams in the prison room sounded again, like the most beautiful movement in the world.
Massive memory images are forcibly compressed to flicker at the speed of light within half a minute, which will cause a huge mental load on the human body, and if it cannot bear it, it will collapse on the spot.
Compared with those traditional physical punishments, mental torture is obviously a thousand times more terrifying.
What Li Changqing is doing now is to break down Xia Mei's spirit step by step and destroy the psychological defense she built.
Qin Mo, who was sitting peacefully on the chair, watched all this quietly, without the slightest inner fluctuation, and didn't feel that this method was too cruel.
That is because Xia Mei is an S-level awakener, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble.
Li Changqing can directly read her memory, as long as he avoids the core area of the spiritual seed, but it is not possible now.
Half a minute passed, and Li Changqing slowly withdrew his hand.
Xia Mei was panting heavily, her pupils were dull and had lost their original luster, and she was sweating profusely all over her body, as if she had just been fished out of a water tank.
The bright red evening dress on her body was tightly attached to her skin, reflecting the perfect curve of her figure.
Seeing Xia Mei slightly collapsed, the smile on the corner of Li Changqing's mouth gradually deepened. He then took out a document from behind him, opened it and placed it in front of her eyes.
I saw densely packed small words and photos on the document, all of which contained detailed personal information about Xia Mei.
It clearly records what kind of relationship she has with the Gaoling Xia family.
Xia Mei just glanced at her face, her expression changed, and the fragile psychological defense line that was already cracked became even more dilapidated.
"So, can we talk now?"
Li Changqing said softly, every word was like the whisper of a devil.
Xia Mei fell into silence. While trying her best to keep her breathing steady, she made extremely difficult calculations in her heart.
She is indeed loyal to the Xia family, but she doesn't want to die yet.
Death has always been a heavy topic.
After a brief silence, Xia Mei raised her head again, staring at Li Changqing's dark face, her red lips parted slightly, and said slowly:
"Can."
Obviously, she has made her choice.
Li Changqing caressed his hands, clapped and smiled, nodded and said: "You made a wise choice, you can rest assured that the Xia family doesn't know that you are still alive, and no one will come to silence you.
Everything we talk about will not touch the spiritual seed in your mind.
I am a spiritual awakener, you should know that I have this ability. "
His words completely dispelled Xia Mei's last doubts.
Xia Mei nodded, and said in a condensed voice: "I will say everything I can. I only have one condition. You must ensure my safety, not only now, but also in the future."
Hearing this condition, Li Changqing did not agree to her immediately, but turned to look at Qin Mo outside the cell, showing a questioning look.
Seeing this, Qin Mo didn't think too much about it, and just nodded in agreement.
He tapped the table with his knuckles, attracting Xia Mei's attention, then smiled and said:
"Xia's collaborating with the enemy and treason has already violated the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. According to the law, the whole family should be united. However, since you turned your back on the dark side, surrendered yourself, and assisted the Security Bureau in eradicating the traitors, it is considered a meritorious service, and the death penalty can be avoided."
"Presumably this is the deputy director of the Security Bureau, Guannei Hou Qinmo." Xia Mei's eyes flickered, revealing his identity.
Immediately afterwards, she raised the corners of her mouth and habitually showed a charming smile.
"I believe in the promise of the Marquis of Guannei. Well, you can ask now."
She didn't push herself to ask for more, and she knew how to negotiate.
Now that people are under the roof, and her own life is in the hands of others, she has no choice at all, she can just keep her life, and the rest can be put aside.
"Changqing, let's start." Qin Mo nodded slightly at him.
Li Changqing hummed lightly, then turned to look at Xia Mei, the smile on the corners of his mouth was restrained, and his expression became serious.
"The first question, when was the spiritual seed in your mind planted, and who planted it?"
This is in the category of answering, and it will not trigger the imprint of the spiritual seed.
Hearing this, Xia Mei frowned slightly, and recalled: "This seed seems to be from Qingming twenty years ago, when I was still an A-level, and hadn't touched the threshold of S-level.
According to the customs handed down by the empire since ancient times, Qingming is the time to worship the ancestors, and the Xia family is no exception. Hundreds of people gathered at the ancestral grave in Gaoling, and three thick long ambergris were lit in front of the grave.
I remember very clearly that the fragrance seems to be the most wonderful smell in the whole world. After inhaling it through the mouth and nose, there is a feeling of ecstasy, which makes people sink into it unconsciously.
When the consciousness regained consciousness, more than half of the time had passed. The general stood at the forefront, looked at us with a smile on his face, and calmly said about the spiritual seeds.
I don't know exactly who planted it, but the only person who was sober at that time was the general, most likely it was him. "
The general she was talking about was naturally Xia Zu. Twenty years ago, Xia Zu had already practiced on the border for many years.
According to Xia Mei's description, Xia Zu is indeed the most likely person, but there is still a fatal doubt.
That is, Xia Zu is not an awakener of the spiritual system, how can he pinch the spiritual seeds?
Qin Mo frowned slightly, and his super brain was running rapidly, deducing various possibilities.
But he didn't have any more clues at hand, so he couldn't find out the real answer.
Qin Mo had no choice but to suppress this doubt to the bottom of his heart for the time being, and leave it to be answered in the future.
He raised his eyes and continued to look at Xia Mei, only to see that Li Changqing was already asking the second question.
"The Xia family came to the imperial capital this time, and they are divided into two forces, light and dark. Who are you dark people in contact with?"
"Xia Xuan, the chief steward of the ancient castle, and Xia Dongfang, the head of the Xia Clan's Presbyterian Church."
"Very good, the third question, how did the Xia family secretly communicate with Qi." Li Changqing narrowed his eyes.
Xia Mei shook her head without thinking, and replied directly: "I don't know, Xia Dongfang and Xia Xuan are responsible for almost all the secrets of the Xia family, and they are the people most trusted by the general.
If you want to know more secrets, you need to pry their mouths. I am only responsible for receiving the mission and then carrying out the mission. "
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter for now, let's talk about the connection between the local society and the Xia family, you don't know about this, do you?"
Li Changqing asked, the questions to be asked in today's interrogation have been discussed in advance, and now it is only necessary to follow the steps.
As for those who can’t get the answer, choose to skip directly, and get as much information as you can get.
"I do know a lot about the Tiandihui, but I didn't get involved in the core. The communication between the Tiandihui and the Xia family was all done by Xia Xuan himself, and he has always maintained a one-way connection.
Especially in regards to the Taishan mine, Xia Xuan never let anyone interfere..."
Afterwards, Xia Mei detailed all she could say, all the key information she couldn't say, and finally chose to use the metaphor of the story to explain.
The interrogation lasted for a full six hours. During this period, Li Changqing changed many angles and tried several methods to verify the truth of Xia Mei's words, and finally confirmed that it was true.
Qin Mo did not attend the whole process. He stayed in the interrogation room for less than half an hour before taking the elevator back to the top floor.
The clues and information provided by Xia Mei are important, but they should not waste too much time because of this matter.
If he has been staying in the dark underground, how can he obtain solar energy and accumulate light energy points?
Strength is the foundation of everything, and it is the most stupid choice to focus on one thing and lose another.
Besides, with Li Changqing and Li Ming around, he doesn't need to worry too much.
Just like that, time passed quickly, almost in a flash.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, dusk fell silently.
The fiery red setting sun hangs leisurely in the sky, and a warm current suddenly emerges from Qin Mo's chest.
Qin Mo, who was lying on the chair, slowly opened his eyes, focused his eyes on his eyes, and opened the Superman Gene Awakening panel.
Vision: 184
Listening: 178
Intelligence: 178
Breathing: 177
Strength: 185
Speed: 183
Recovery: 177
Defense: 181
Light energy points: 35 (freely assignable)
Not much to say, as usual, balanced development.
Qin Mo allocated 4 points to each of the eight attributes, and then added 1 point to intelligence, breathing, and recovery.
The complex warm current quickly dissipated to his whole body, injecting scorching solar energy into every cell, strengthening him in all directions without dead ends.
"Defense: 185, Skill: Man of Steel Enhancement."
A larger warm current flows out from the unknown depths of the body again, covering the whole body.
After this strengthening, Qin Mo's steel body has grown from the previous V-level to VI-level, directly doubled on the previous basis, and has a more abnormal defense.
He can now withstand stronger attacks, and is immune to more elemental damage.
In short, Qin Mo's life-saving ability has once again been substantially improved.
Of course, he still doesn't know the specific extent, but the eighth-level awakened and below are bound to be impossible to cause any harm to Qin Mo.
This is beyond doubt.
Qin Mo's mouth slowly turned up, revealing a faint smile.
"Invincible both offensively and defensively, this is the right to be called a hexagonal warrior." He murmured in a low voice.
Afterwards, Qin Mo got up from the chair and flew towards the French windows.
It's time to get off work, so it's time to go home.
It is impossible to work overtime, this is his principled issue.
However, before Qin Mo took two steps, his expression changed suddenly, his brows were raised, and he turned his head to look at a certain place in the air.
His mental perception noticed abnormal fluctuations.
The surrounding environment is all under Qin Mo's perception, and if there is anything wrong, it is impossible to escape his spiritual perception.
This is why Li Ming's hiding place can be accurately told by him, and how Xia Jiuchuan can see through the disguise at a glance.
At the moment Qin Mo just turned his head, there were circles of ripples in the empty midair, and Li Ming's figure stepped out of it.
"Marquis of Guannei, the recent situation in the imperial capital is complicated, and the Gaoling Xia clan will be in a hurry. After comprehensive consideration, the Presbyterian Council has specially equipped you with a guard." Li Ming said.
Hearing this, Qin Mo frowned slightly, and said, "Guard? What guard?"
When he heard the news, he subconsciously thought it was Qingyang Li who wanted to monitor him, but after thinking about it, he denied this guess.
It's completely unnecessary.
The Li family in Qingyang knew that he possessed powerful detection methods, and if he was equipped with a guard, it would be impossible for the guard to hide everything from him.
He has a thousand ways to avoid it, and he can even use the guard's hand to pass false news to Mrs. Li.
Then, if this possibility is ruled out, then what Li Mingshi just said is true.
"I can kill the seventh level at will now. If you want to be qualified to protect me, you must be at least the ninth level, right? Mrs. Li is so generous?"
Qin Mo secretly thought in his heart that he knew that Li Muye must be interested in his potential, but he never expected that he would pay such attention to it.
This is mainly because he does not have a clear understanding of the status of the king of heaven, otherwise he will naturally think that this is a normal operation, and he will not be surprised at all.
After hearing his question, Li Ming on the other side did not answer, but pointed to the door of the office.
boom!
Suddenly, a loud bang appeared.
The door was kicked open, Li Tiangang put his arms around his chest, opened his mouth, looked at Qin Mo coldly, and hummed:
"Your boy is Qin Mo?"
Qin Mo: "..."
For a while, he didn't know what to answer.
Look at Li Tiangang's posture, doesn't he look like a guard at all?
Isn’t this a real debt collector? !
That's it, can it be a ninth-level S-level awakener?
Qin Mo has reason to remain skeptical.
He didn't speak, but also raised his neck, staring coldly at Li Tiangang standing at the door, with a calm face.
The sharp eyes of the two met together, as if two burning sparks collided and exploded instantly!
The atmosphere in the office became strange for no reason, and the surrounding air seemed to have turned into a heavy stream of water, extremely stagnant.
Li Ming looked at Qin Mo, then turned his head to look at Li Tiangang a few times, suddenly felt that his throat was extremely dry, and his whole body seemed to be pricked by needles, and he felt uncomfortable everywhere.
These two people are not inferior to him in terms of status or personal strength, and they have brought him considerable pressure.
He can't wait to give himself a slap now, why come out at this time?
Li Tiangang is an old monster over two hundred years old, can he still find his way?
Does he need to come here to introduce?
If there was regret medicine in the world, Li Ming would definitely plunge into it now and directly support himself to death.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Looking at Qin Mo who didn't give in at all, Li Tiangang snorted coldly, and took the lead to look away. Then he turned his head to look at Li Ming, stared and said:
"What the **** are you looking at?"
Li Ming: "????"
He was dumbfounded, and stood there in a daze, feeling at a loss, not knowing what to do.
"Here, I... Patriarch, I..." Li Ming stuttered as he spoke.
Seeing this, Li Tiangang glared at him fiercely again, and said in a trembling voice:
"What are you, you talk a lot of **** nonsense."
Before the voice landed, he raised his hand to Li Ming and shook it, and then waved his arm towards the open French window.
Li Ming disappeared in the same place in an instant, and he disappeared without a trace. He didn't even say a word.
There were no ripples in the void, only a gust of cold wind suddenly appeared from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He was thrown out by Li Tiangang!
You know, Li Ming has been promoted to the eighth level for a long time, and his strength is very strong, and his genetic power is special.
But in front of Li Tiangang, he didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
It is clear at a glance who is strong and who is weak.
This is the ninth-level peak awakener, who is only a thin line away from the king of heaven, and has a terrifying dominance at the S-level!
After slapping Li Ming out like a fly at will, Li Tiangang had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he turned his head to look at Qin Mo, with his head raised a little higher.
Young talents are always arrogant.
This is especially true for a once-in-a-thousand-year genius like Qin Mo, which can be seen from the confrontation of Shicai's eyes.
However, Li Tiangang believes that with the skill he showed just now, Qin Mo will be dumbfounded, and he will worship without saying anything, at least he will be full of admiration.
Now all you need to do is stand still and wait for Qin Mo to serve you a cup of hot tea respectfully.
Such tricks, in the years before he lay in the coffin, can be said to have been tried and tested, and never failed.
Therefore, Li Tiangang is very confident.
Although he was entrusted by Li Muye to protect Qin Mo's safety, whoever is the master should set the rules from the very beginning.
Thinking in this way, the smile on the corner of Li Tiangang's mouth became more and more intense, and he couldn't help narrowing his eyes, feeling a little flustered.
However, after waiting for a long time, the imaginary picture never appeared.
Li Tiangang looked down in doubt, and then froze in place, a little confused.
"Made, where are people???!"
His pitch was raised by three points, but it was hard to hide the emptiness in front of him.
The open floor-to-ceiling windows were still blowing cold wind, whirling and blowing on his face, like loud and bright slaps, full of irony.
At this time, Qin Mo had already returned to his home in Guanghong Street.
He didn't bother to talk to Li Tiangang at all, which was a bit too naive for him.
Li Tiangang got one thing wrong, that is, Qin Mo is not twenty-three years old as he appears on the surface.
He has been a man in his two lives, and he is more than fifty in total, and he is no longer a young man.
Otherwise, how could Qin Mo only think about living a peaceful retirement life?
Therefore, he saw through Li Tiangang's inner thoughts almost in the blink of an eye, and knew his intentions.
I have to admit that Li Tiangang is indeed very strong, and Li Shi of Qingyang really has the qualifications and ability to let him protect him.
However, Qin Mo will not spoil him.
Regarding Li Tiangang's behavior, he can only say:
"Oh, silly bird."
There is a chapter of 6,600 words, and there is another chapter tonight.
Starting from next Monday, I'm going to make an update to see if I can make it to the weekly combat power list, and please vote more monthly.
