Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Interrogation, Release, Counterattack
The gray-white room had glaring lights overhead.
Qin Tian sat alone in the cold iron chair, his hands and feet shackled with alloy cuffs.
Opposite him sat a cold-looking man, with a gaunt face, high cheekbones, and narrow eyes that flickered with a cold, eerie light.
Behind the transparent glass, Wen Chengxian looked at Qin Tian coldly.
At this moment, his confidant Duan Song asked:
"Master, shall we begin?"
"Yes."
Having received Wen Chengxian’s directive, Duan Song said into his earpiece:
"Li Ya, start."
"Name."
Li Ya stared at Qin Tian, his voice hoarse, as if two coarse iron blocks were rubbing against each other, making it very uncomfortable to hear.
"Qin Tian."
Qin Tian replied calmly.
"Age."
"18."
Bang!
Li Ya slammed the table harshly and said coldly:
"18 years old and killed a Tier Five Vampire, do you think you come from the Holy Blood Clan? Be honest, talk nonsense again, and don’t blame me for being rude to you."
Qin Tian raised his gaze, sweeping his eyes over the transparent glass, and said faintly:
"35."
Li Ya snorted coldly and asked again:
"Are you a teacher at the Eagle Military Academy?"
"Yes."
"How did you kill Klaus and his group?"
"Poisoned them."
Poison?
Behind the window, Wen Chengxian’s eyes flickered as he said:
"Ask him how he poisoned them."
Li Ya: "How did you poison them? What kind of poison did you use?"
Qin Tian: "I tampered with their prey and used a poison called Blood Burning."
Wen Chengxian recalled that besides some Vampire corpses, there were also some blood-drained deer corpses on the scene.
Yet he still couldn’t imagine how Qin Tian managed to deceive the Vampires and poison several deer.
All the Vampires were poisoned to death, but why did the deer survive until they were drained?
He must be hiding something.
Wen Chengxian’s eyes flashed coldly.
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Duan Song opened the door, and a black-clothed man walked in, handing Wen Chengxian a document.
"Master, these are the interrogation statements of those three military school students."
Wen Chengxian opened it, quickly glanced at it, and his face became extremely ugly.
"What a load of crap!"
He slammed the table, glaring at Qin Tian through the glass; according to the statement, Qin Tian was not a military school teacher but a newly enrolled freshman.
From this alone, it was evident that Qin Tian was bluffing all along.
That 35 years old, that poisoning
All fake.
Duan Song stood behind Wen Chengxian, having read through the statements too. Even he was infuriated.
"Master, this kid is dishonest; let me handle him with some methods." Duan Song said coldly.
"Go ahead."
Wen Chengxian’s tone was icy; from Qin Tian’s uncooperative attitude, he increasingly believed the Ancient Giant Beast Essence Blood had been taken by Qin Tian and hidden.
If that’s the case, then don’t blame him for being ruthless.
Duan Song opened the door, walked into the interrogation room, and looked down at Qin Tian, saying coldly:
"Those students confessed. You’re their classmate, an Eagle Military freshman, so your previous answers were all fabrications."
Qin Tian looked up at him and said calmly:
"I said I am 18, but do you believe it?"
If I were to tell you I’m actually under a hundred days old, wouldn’t that drive you insane?
"I don’t believe it; even if you’re a freshman, I don’t believe you’re only 18." Duan Song said indifferently: "Tell me, did you take something from Klaus? Where did you hide it?"
Qin Tian: "No."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slap landed solidly on Qin Tian’s face.
Slap~
The sound of the slap was crisp and clear.
Qin Tian’s face tilted to the side, then he turned his head, staring directly at Duan Song, his eyes deep and cold, like an unfathomable icy pool.
For some reason, Duan Song suddenly felt a chill, his hair standing on end, as if he was being watched by some monster, and deep within, a trace of panic and fear surged.
From behind the transparent glass, another person entered the room and whispered into Wen Chengxian’s ear.
"What? The files are top secret?"
Wen Chengxian’s eyes were filled with suspicion.
During interrogation, he also had someone investigate the details of Qin Tian and the other three.
Those three military students were easy to investigate; combined with Eagle Military Academy’s files, their family backgrounds could be thoroughly understood.
But this guy named Qin Tian, astonishingly, his file was top secret, and no specific information could be found through any channel, only a name, and the Spiritualist level registered at the academy.
Tier One Four Stars.
A level so fake it’s laughable
Who is he?
What’s his background?
For some reason, Wen Chengxian suddenly had a bad premonition.
Just then, there’s some commotion from outside.
Wen Chengxian frowned and immediately stepped out.
"Boss, Mr. Li is here."
A black-clothed man hurried to Wen Chengxian’s side and whispered.
Mr. Li, why is he here?
Wen Chengxian’s heart sank.
Footsteps echoed from the end of the hallway.
Soon, two figures appeared, walking side by side towards Wen Chengxian.
One of them wore a black robe, possessed a graceful demeanor, and had hair combed neatly; the other wore a Royal Army uniform, with sharp eyes like a hawk, and a Major General’s insignia shining brilliantly.
"Mr. Li, you’re here."
Wen Chengxian stepped forward and bowed slightly politely.
Mr. Li was his father’s secretary and the most important person beside his father.
"Chengxian, this is Director Yan from the Seventh Bureau of the Special Warfare Management Office,"
Mr. Li said slowly, "Director Yan mentioned you brought his subordinate here?"
Seventh Bureau
Wen Chengxian was taken aback; in the Military Department, the Seventh Bureau has always been a very mysterious division, and very few people know what this division specifically does, but there’s always a trace of the Seventh Bureau behind every major case in the Military Department.
What’s more crucial is that the superior of the Seventh Bureau is the most special among the ten marshals—Marshal Lin.
Marshal Lin is not only one of the ten marshals, his more daunting identification is the sect leader of the Royal Judgement Court.
The Royal Judgement Court and the Seventh Bureau, one managing civilian affairs, the other overseeing the military department, while belonging to different agencies, both report directly to Marshal Lin, often exchanging intelligence and assisting in solving cases.
Consequently, once you provoke the Seventh Bureau, it’s highly likely to be watched by the Judgement Court.
No wonder that guy’s file is top secret, it turns out he’s one of the Seventh Bureau.
At this moment, Yan Qing glanced at Wen Chengxian, then walked directly toward the interrogation room.
He pushed open the door.
Yan Qing saw Qin Tian, half-naked, covered in blood, hands and feet shackled to the iron chair, anyone seeing this would associate it with severe torture.
"Good, very good!"
Yan Qing turned to look at Wen Chengxian and Mr. Li, his tone icy, "You dared to detain a Royal Major without cause and use private punishment, truly brazen!"
Mr. Li frowned and asked seriously:
"Chengxian, what is going on here?"
Wen Chengxian hurriedly explained:
"Mr. Li, Director Yan, the blood on him was self-inflicted, it has nothing to do with me, I merely brought him here."
Mr. Li said sternly, "Release him."
Reluctantly, Wen Chengxian gritted his teeth and said, "Release him."
"Yes."
Duan Song removed the shackles from Qin Tian’s feet.
Qin Tian stood up calmly, gazing straight at Duan Song, then—
Slap~~
The crisp, powerful sound of a slap echoed.
Duan Song was sent flying, shattering the glass behind him, landing among the shards, half of his face swollen high, and several teeth dislodged, scattered on the ground.
"This slap is for you." Qin Tian said indifferently.
Seeing this, Mr. Li frowned, while Wen Chengxian’s face turned extremely ugly.
Yan Qing paused for a moment, then a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.
