Monarch Night
Chapter 1195 - 18: The Scapegoat Specialist (Part 2)
Fang Che said coldly, "Whether there is suspicion, whether they are the killers, it is not up to me, nor is it up to General Zhao. This requires evidence. Being in a high position doesn’t mean you can cover the sky with one hand!"
"I am merely conducting a routine investigation. Since General Zhao says there is no problem, are you willing to guarantee that?"
Fang Che coldly said, "If you’re not willing..."
Zhao Shanhe angrily said, "My brothers, why wouldn’t I dare to guarantee! I will guarantee it; they are fine! What do you intend to do!"
The thirty people brought in showed excitement on their faces.
Yet Fang Che calmly said, "Even with your assurance, it doesn’t work! Whatever happens, I need to find evidence! I need to interrogate! If anyone among them has a problem, General Zhao... you can’t escape responsibility either!"
He looked coldly at Zhao Shanhe, saying, "Don’t forget, you just vouched for them!"
Zhao Shanhe, trembling with anger, almost couldn’t speak, shouted, "Fang Che, I admit I was unfair to you earlier, but now you..."
"General Zhao, you were mistaken! I am investigating, looking for the traitors within the Wei Wo Zheng Sect! My work, my goal, is aligned with yours, General Zhao!"
His cold and sharp gaze fixated on Zhao Shanhe, said indifferently, "Is the Chief implying that I am using my position for personal revenge against you?"
Everyone around remained silent.
They thought, isn’t this using your position for personal revenge?
Isn’t this retaliating against the Chief?
You are indeed speaking so righteously.
Zhao Shanhe snorted, his gaze like lightning sweeping over Fang Che’s face, striding to the thirty people: "Rest assured as you go in for review, I’ll be waiting here at the doorway for you, let’s see what Captain Fang can do!"
Fang Che said indifferently, "If they are innocent, I will do nothing; if any of them are traitors, I will kill on the spot! I will rip open their chests to expose the missing heart veins and send their bodies straight to headquarters! Furthermore, I will send your guarantee, General Zhao, along with them!"
The thirty people’s eyes turned red with anger.
Each one had their chests heaving intensely.
The leader yelled, "Chief! If anything happened during our duty, we are willing to be investigated! With a clear conscience, there is nothing to fear; let’s see what tricks Captain Fang can pull! You need not worry about us. If there is any problem, I will die without grievance!"
He looked at Fang Che angrily, "Captain Fang, as a subordinate, I advise you to respect your superior!"
Fang Che coldly replied, "Can respect annihilate the Wei Wo Zheng Sect?"
The leader shouted sternly, "If we have no issues, what would you say then? Shouldn’t you apologize to Chief Zhao!?"
Fang Che said, "Why should I apologize if you have no issues? Why! I am merely an investigator, not a gambler! Fellow colleague, I hope you understand this point!"
The man with a bushy beard was almost exploding with anger, "Are you simply humiliating our Chief? As an inspector, if there is nothing, can’t you even apologize for your remarks and attitude?!"
Fang Che paused in silence before slowly saying, "Fine, if you are innocent, I will apologize to General Zhao!"
He sneered, "But are you really without issues?"
The leader stood upright, "Wei Zi Qi has no issue, Inspector Fang can come check! I am open to your investigation!"
He stormed in angrily, taking the lead into the interrogation room.
"Inspector Fang! Aren’t you going to interrogate me! Why aren’t you coming in!"
Wei Zi Qi shouted inside.
Fang Che sneered, "What if I interrogate you? Just because you are loud doesn’t mean you’re innocent! It only shows you are guilty!"
And then said coldly, "You, wait outside!"
He strode in.
The other twenty-nine deacons were shaking with anger, their eyes bloodshot.
"It’s too much bullying... too much!"
Even Lian Fengxiangdong and Dongyun Yu felt something was amiss.
But they said nothing, just standing silently.
Zhao Shanhe stood with his hands behind, expression like still water.
Seemingly discontent to the extreme.
Yet, gratitude towards Fang Che was profound in his heart.
If such events happen a few more times, the combat power and cohesiveness of the Southeast Headquarters would leap directly!
All events during this time will dissipate like the wind.
Even Zhao Shanhe couldn’t believe Fang Che was so fierce, cooperating with him so well.
"I owe you once!"
Zhao Shanhe silently said in his heart.
Fang Che entered the sealed soundproof barrier room, directly sitting at the interrogation seat, "Seal your cultivation!"
"Fine!"
Wei Zi Qi, with boiling blood, hadn’t calmed down, swiftly sealed himself with two slaps.
"Which document are you interrogating?"
"This file is mine."
"Under what circumstances did he die?"
"Just after being asked a question, he suddenly died."
"What question?"
"I asked him, which side do you belong to in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect? Then he tilted his head and died."
"...Hmm, come over!"
"What for?"
"Just come over! What? Feeling guilty?"
"Why would I be guilty! Am I afraid of you!?"
Wei Zi Qi strode over.
"Stretch out your hand!"
Bang.
An arm dropped in front of Fang Che.
Fang Che grabbed the wrist vein, activated Infinite Scripture.
Pure spiritual energy directly passed through the meridians, traveling within Wei Zi Qi’s meridians!
Operating within someone else’s meridians, especially unfamiliar ones, Fang Che felt the strain distinctly.
This was much more difficult compared to conveying spiritual energy within Ye Meng’s meridians.
But with his cultivation progress, this wasn’t a problem.
But based on the current situation, Fang Che estimated that after about a few dozen people... he might be drained.
He awakened the Five Spirits Gu within himself, then combined it with the spiritual energy traversing Wei Zi Qi’s meridians, to search for the Five Spirits Gu.
