"..."
The warrior was trained so hard that he could not make a sound.
Li Qingcha stopped talking nonsense and turned his attention to the main person.
did not expect……
The demon race, that’s it! ?
The person in front of him was a young man who was less than 30 years old. His facial features and body shape were the same as those of a human, but he looked a little fierce.
The only two differences in physical characteristics are:
1. Ears;
2. Tail.
Li Qingcha said subconsciously: "Dog?"
The demon youth raised his head and stared at Li Qingcha fiercely.
"You humiliate me?"
Li Qingcha didn't know how he humiliated the other person.
but,
"I humiliated you, so what?"
"You! @*#￥%..."
"Stop talking nonsense here. Just answer the question, dog."
"It's a wolf! A wolf!"
It was a wolf.
Li Qingcha couldn't help but ponder.
If the appearance of the demon race is the same...
Depend on!
What is this Furuikong welfare?
Let’s put other animal races aside for now and just talk about wolves. There’s “Spice and Wolf” there, so maybe their princess can be as good as the heroine in the animation.
Li Qingcha thought for a moment and asked, "When taking a bath, will water get into the ears?"
The young demon ignored her.
Unexpectedly, Gong Lianxue at the side spoke up: "When you bathe a dog, their ears will droop and block the ear holes, so your worries are completely unnecessary~"
The demon youth was furious: "I am a wolf! A wolf!!!"
Chu Zhongtian looked at Li Qingcha, then at Gong Lianxue.
These two people are perhaps the typical representatives of "cooperation is important in questioning". They were able to stir up the prisoner's emotions with just a few words.
In a fit of rage, it's easy to accidentally reveal information.
How about letting them ask?
Once the idea comes up, it won't go away.
Chu Zhongtian pondered for a moment.
"Come here," he waved his hand, "take them to the prison."
"promise!"
A soldier came forward and carried the three people away.
At this time, the group of "disaster victims" also realized that there was no fire at all. It was clearly the Ministry of Justice investigating a case.
They couldn't help whispering.
Chu Zhongtian took a step forward, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not speak.
Telling people “what happened today must be kept secret” will only backfire and eventually turn into “what happened today must be told to others quietly”, so it is better not to issue a gag order.
He turned around and asked Li Qingcha, "Mr. Siwei, you suddenly ordered the soldiers to retreat just now. Did you discover something?"
Li Qingcha nodded.
"Prisoners and ordinary people definitely have different behaviors, including their speech, attire, etc. For example, just now, there was a fire. How would a normal person panic? Most would ask the soldiers to save their own property first. But the panic shown by the prisoners is different. You can tell at a glance that it is an expression closer to guilt."
That's the difference...
Chu Zhongtian understood and didn't ask any further questions.
Instead, the middle-aged man next to him frowned.
He didn't think Li Qingcha was lying, but Li Qingcha could see those details clearly in the night. Unless he was born with divine eyes, there was only one possibility -
Li Qingcha is a monk.
The middle-aged man thought again of the Taoist master who suddenly appeared, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to keep the matter to himself.
Chu Zhongtian asked again: "Mr. Siwei, if you were to interrogate me, where would you start?"
Li Qingcha tilted his head and thought for a moment, "If it were me, I wouldn't be so anxious. I would just leave him alone for two days to sharpen his edge."
"Will this work?"
"They tied him to a chair and locked him in a small dark room without windows. They lit a bright enough light in front of him. Every time he tried to fall asleep, they slapped him to wake him up and then waved the light in front of his eyes."
"..."
"Is there a problem?"
"No...no problem."
Chu Zhongtian broke out in a cold sweat and complained about Li Qingcha in his heart:
This guy must be a devil!
Chapter 92 In the Palace
Imperial City.
Qianqing Palace.
The dim candlelight made a crackling sound as it burned.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The Emperor of Daxia felt someone was calling him.
He opened his eyes and saw the face of the eunuch who took care of him.
"What time is it now?"
"To answer your Majesty, it is just after midnight."
"Hmm? Isn't that still a long way from going to court......!!!"
The emperor seemed to wake up instantly and sat up straight.
The chief eunuch was startled and rushed to support him, fearing that the emperor would get too excited and accidentally hurt his waist.
The emperor waved his hands, "No need to help me! I can still handle it!"
The eunuch shuddered and dared not move again.
The emperor raised his hand and asked someone to help him put on his clothes. At the same time, he asked, "Did Chu Zhongtian enter the palace? Did he bring any news? How is it going? Has he been caught?"
Three questions in a row,
The matter of the demon spies has been a major concern of his during this period.
The chief eunuch replied, "Your Majesty, how dare I ask about the fact that Grand Secretary Chu is entering the palace at this time? But in my opinion, this should be good news. Grand Secretary Chu looks very relaxed."
The emperor was delighted when he heard this.
"Let him come to see me."
"promise."
The eunuch walked away in small steps.
The emperor stood up and felt his mouth a little dry. He drank a cup of tea in a hurry and then walked towards the front hall of the Qianqing Palace.
At this time, Chu Zhongtian was already waiting.
Seeing the emperor, he stood up,
"No thanks." The emperor interrupted the greeting and said, "Let's get down to business."
"Your Majesty, please take a look," Chu Zhongtian handed over a piece of paper, "This is the prisoner we caught today."
On the paper was a portrait of a young demon man.
The emperor took a quick look and frowned.
"I don't see anything special about it." He said, "How did he break through the blockade of the Qi-gazing masters at the city gates and sneak into the capital?"
This is the biggest concern.
If the demon spies have a way to sneak into the capital, then can the demon army do it too?
I dare not even think about it!
Chu Zhongtian said: "The interrogation hasn't started yet."
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. I was too impatient. I guess you came to the palace to see me right after you caught the criminal. There really is no time to interrogate you yet."
He stared at the portrait for a long time, then asked, "How are you going to judge it?"
Chu Zhongtian hesitated slightly and said, "During the arrest, I acted together with Coach Li..."
At this point, he stole a glance at the emperor's expression.
The emperor just frowned slightly, but relaxed in an instant.
Chu Zhongtian breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Master Li is very good at criminal law and interrogation, so I had a discussion with him at the time and wanted to hear Master Li's opinion."
"How did he say?"
"His original words were, 'Let's hang out the prisoner for two days to sharpen his temper. Tie him to a chair and lock him in a small dark room without windows. Light a bright enough light in front of him. Every time he tries to fall asleep, wake him up by slapping him and then wave the light in front of his eyes.'"
"Tsk..."
The emperor couldn't help but be amazed.
Li Qingcha's move was indeed more effective in wearing down a person's will than direct torture.
Punishment is an act of resistance.
Simply put, there is a clear, antagonistic relationship between the prisoner and the interrogator. They both know clearly who the enemy is, and the enemy will use routines to deceive them.
But Li Qingcha's trick was different. The prisoner was locked in a small dark room and couldn't even contact anyone.
Their psychology will change from anger to confusion.
This is what is called "sharpening one's spirit".
Another point, the light is on the face,
The emperor couldn't figure out the specific reason why Li Qingcha did this. Intuitively, it was not just a simple sleep deprivation.
However, he couldn't clearly explain what was so brilliant about it.
Chu Zhongtian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, if you invite Coach Li..."
The rest of the sentence is not said, but it speaks for itself.
The emperor said: "I don't care what means you use, I only have one request, solve the case as soon as possible."
That is to invite Li Qingcha,
Chu Zhongtian understood.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I came to the palace to talk about this... ah, yes, there is one more thing. It seems that Master Li has offended the Taoist master who controls the flying sword."
That's right, what Chu Zhongtian said was "provoke".
