Chapter 883: Chapter 817: Bi’s Night of Interrogation

Zhang San felt a bit confused and somewhat worried.

Clearly, those two had the ability to escape earlier, yet they didn’t.

When they first saw him, they didn’t have any murderous intent; it seemed like they weren’t here to kill him but rather to ask about something.

Through the words the shadow said at the end, Zhang San suspected if they were here for Kaihuang’s revenant.

However, Zhang San wasn’t very sure and didn’t dare to rashly enter the Spear’s Secret Realm to ask Kaihuang.

He could only set the matter aside for now, allowing Officer Bi to properly interrogate the ten assassins they had captured.

In terms of interrogation, Officer Bi was an expert.

Although Zhang San wasn’t clear about Bi’s interrogation methods, as long as he could find out what he wanted to know, the methods weren’t that important.

So, Bi took the ten individuals away and held them in separate cells.

Soon, the initial three assassins all confessed.

Bi felt these prisoners were really lacking any challenge.

He even didn’t use any special interrogation methods, just sat down drinking a little wine during the interrogation, and when he felt hot, he undid a button at his collar.

Without patching the tears on the sides of his Night Traveler’s Clothes pants.

Then these three, drooling, revealed everything they knew.

Bi felt that the martial path forces’ struggles in Sword South Path weren’t very ruthless; otherwise, these three would likely have been sold countless times by others.

After dealing with these three, Bi directly went to interrogate the remaining seven.

Since these seven were together, Bi placed them in two separate cells.

The senior in one cell, separated by a corridor, facing the six younger disciples in the other cell.

They were all tied up, with their Qi suppressed by a special Rune Array.

“Wake up, everyone, it’s time for us to have a chat. The previous three assassins were very cooperative, so the interrogation went smoothly; I even had time for a bath and change of clothes. Now it’s your turn. Speak.”

At present, Officer Bi had changed into a pure white long robe, intentionally exposing the white calves beneath the hem.

Though it seemed unintentional, it was deliberately revealed.

The senior glanced at her, roughly guessing what trick she intended to use and decided to close his eyes.

The six juniors were more discerning.

If she exposed herself, they should definitely look; looking at it wouldn’t cause any harm.

Focusing on her beauty could make them forget answering any questions.

Exactly!

Just like that!

Bi looked at the seven people’s different responses in the cells, smiling lightly.

“It’s okay if you don’t say anything; I could tell your tricks during your fight earlier. The point is whether you confess yourselves or I expose you. Since you arrived seven strong, it’s uncertain how many will return.”

The senior sneered coldly at her words.

He could sense that if she truly could identify their sect, she would have said it directly.

Since she didn’t, it proved she hadn’t identified their sect; was she trying to fool him? Such wishful thinking…

“Qing City Sword Sect!”

Before the senior could relish his triumph, a junior across from him confessed.

“Don’t tell me what I know, tell me what I don’t. Why did you come here? Is Qing City Sword Sect’s Sect Master Lin Wenshan, like King of Shu Yang Ling, dissatisfied with the Imperial Court? Or did your senior sister Lin Mengbai write a letter instructing you to act?”

After uttering Lin Mengbai’s name, Bi noticed that these six young men couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Oh my!

She had seen romantic fools before, but a string of them was a first.

“We came of our own will! Zhang San is a villain everyone should eliminate!”

At this point, the senior felt something was wrong.

His six juniors seemed not to recognize she was fooling them.

And all were tricked into confession.

“You…”

As the senior was about to speak, Bi flicked a hand, tossing a large sour pearl into his mouth.

From the sides of the pearl, two strings automatically extended, wrapping around the back of his head, making him unable to speak.

This pearl was not only large but also extremely sour, causing him to uncontrollably salivate immensely.

Who knew what kind of interrogation tool this was.

Bi retracted her hand, glanced at the six juniors, and while extracting information, intentionally or unintentionally mentioned their senior sister Lin Mengbai.

Initially, the six juniors suppressed their inner desires, thinking of their senior sister’s care when she was at the Sect.

But the more they spoke, Bi also sensed the six juniors’ unusual feelings for their senior sister.

“Since you’re so fond of your senior sister, why not go to Shu King’s Mansion and rescue her to protect her by her side?”

After a moment of silence, a junior suddenly spoke, “Don’t you think a woman gains appeal after marrying?”

Another junior couldn’t help but respond, “I still remember when our senior sister returned from Shu King’s Mansion in purple attire, she had much appeal.”

Bi always considered herself a bit abnormal.

But after seeing these six disciples from Qing City Sword Sect, she realized she was relatively normal.

However, she gathered enough information from their words.

Bi retrieved the pearl from the senior’s mouth, wiped it clean, and left.

Early the next morning, Bi went to meet Zhang San.

Just waking from his bed, Zhang San was about to freshen up when he saw Bi enter in revealing clothes, startling him, making him hide behind Baili Niezhen.

“Officer Bi, is there something you need?”

“Deputy Chief, the ten assassins have been thoroughly investigated. The first three are just frustrated ordinary martial artists.”

“The latter seven are disciples of Qing City Sword Sect, but weren’t instructed by anyone. They heard rumors of King of Shu Yang Ling planning to rebel and because Queen of Shu Lin Mengbai was their senior sister, whom they admired, they wanted to help alleviate her concerns, leading them to attempt to assassinate you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang San couldn’t help but feel joyful.

“Are you certain it’s the Qing City Sword Sect?”

Though Bi didn’t understand why Zhang San was pleased, she nodded.

“Yes, it’s Qing City Sword Sect.”

Zhang San rubbed his hands excitedly.

“Great! This is fantastic! Originally, I was pondering how to approach Qing City Sword Sect… cough, cough… find a reason to visit Qing City Sword Sect. Now this reason has come.”

Zhang San immediately ordered, “Issue orders; after breakfast, the army will set out at once. Destination—Qing City Mountain!”
