Chapter 87 Interrogation

As Chen Ling cut his face open with his own hands, Winter Harbor was quiet with only the sound of the wind.

For some reason, everyone felt creepy when they looked at Chen Ling's cut face and faint smile...

"...It's OK." The six-pattern law enforcement officer finally spoke, "Take him to the house to heal his wounds first, and prepare for questioning."

The two law enforcement officers breathed a sigh of relief. They supported Chen Ling and walked straight to a small house not far away.

This small house was obviously temporarily requisitioned. It was probably a private house of a family. It was cramped and dim.

Chen Ling was supported into it and sat down by the bed. After the two law enforcement officers gave him gauze and medicine, they asked him to wait here...Chen Ling heard them push the door out, but did not leave, but stood outside the door.

Chen Ling simply applied medicine on his face, bandaged it twice, and then didn't care about it anymore.

After all, for him who possessed [No Appearance], the face was just a consumable. As long as the skin was torn off, it would still be a flawless face.

In the next half hour, four or five groups of people came one after another.

Some of them were law enforcers, some were politicians in Aurora City, and even Chen Ling didn't know where the others came from, but they should be big shots in Aurora City...

They asked about the process and details of the incident over and over again, especially the deaths of Yan Xicai and Lu Xuanming.

Chen Ling directly blamed Jian Changsheng for Yan Xicai's death; as for Lu Xuanming's death, he blamed No. 8.

Strictly speaking, Chen Ling didn't lie, but just concealed some details and misplaced the behavior of some characters.

Even if these people entered the ancient treasure again and searched the crime scene carefully, they could hardly find any flaws, unless they entered the abyss at the bottom of the cliff and found the bodies of the law enforcers in District 1 that he had left behind.

But even if they found them, their faces were scratched by Chen Ling, and it was almost impossible to confirm their identities when their bodies were smashed into a pulp.

Soon, the law enforcers received news again:

They found an empty K18 train in a warehouse near Winter Harbor, which was suspected to have been fused with some kind of sacrificial vessel.

This discovery further confirmed Chen Ling's testimony. The fire usurper did complete the face-changing by attacking the train... The K18 train connects seven districts. A train that does not exist in the archives takes away the law enforcers of one district at the starting station, which basically will not arouse suspicion. Moreover, the fire usurper cleaned the train too cleanly, leaving no clues at all.

As for whether the person who was replaced may be from other districts... No one suspected it at all, because Chen Ling had no need to lie about this matter, and the fact that he had taken the train himself and was not replaced was the best evidence.

"... So, is the interrogation over?" Chen Ling rubbed his eyes tiredly, "When can I go back?"

"It should be soon." A law enforcer guarding the door answered hesitantly.

"Should?"

"After all, this is the first time such a serious trial accident has occurred, and it involves too many people... Moreover, the Star Chamber of Commerce and the Seven-Pattern Law Enforcement Officer are not easy to deal with. They originally hoped that their successors could go through training and step onto the path of God, but they all died in it... Do you think they can let it go?"

Hearing this, Chen Ling's brows frowned more and more, "What does this have to do with me? It was the Fire Usurper who killed them."

"But the Fire Usurper is also dead." The Law Enforcer said meaningfully, "Everyone died, but only you survived... If they want to avenge the Fire Usurper, they can only start from you and try to find more clues."

"But I told you everything I know."

"What if you concealed it? These big families always have some means to make people spit out everything they know, and even restore everything you saw... Only in this way can they feel at ease.

Of course, after doing this, most people are either dead or crazy..."

Chen Ling's heart sank immediately.

If the gang in Aurora City really used this method on him, wouldn't everything be exposed?

"Doesn't this count as lynching? Doesn't the law enforcer care?"

"Yes, it is expressly prohibited by Aurora City... But who would be willing to go against these law enforcers and law enforcement officers? If they want to take you away, who dares to stop them?"

Chen Ling fell silent.

At this moment, the law enforcer seemed to realize that he was talking too much, and hurriedly explained, "Brother, I just said it casually... It's not certain."

Chen Ling didn't say anything else. He suddenly remembered that the group of people who repeatedly asked him about the details of Yan Xicai and Lu Xuanming's death had a gloomy face after asking...

[Audience Expectation Value +5]

A bad premonition came to his mind. He closed the door and began to think in the room. If someone really wanted to take him away, how should he break the situation?

Run?

There are so many law enforcement officers outside. Where can he run?

Just then, there was a low conversation coming from outside the door, and then the door of the house was pushed open.

Outside the door, there was a man in black. He was not wearing a windbreaker of law enforcement officers, but an expensive and warm fabric. Behind him followed two law enforcers, one of whom was the one who had just spoken to Chen Ling. He looked at Chen Ling with sympathy.

"Law enforcer Chen Ling." The leading man slowly spoke, "Come with me."

"Where to?"

"Aurora City."

Chen Ling frowned, "Who are you? Why should I go to Aurora City?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is... you must come with me today." The man's eyes condensed, and a terrifying pressure was released from his body, drowning Chen Ling like a tsunami!

The shadow of a Shinto appeared. It was a Shinto that Chen Ling had seen not long ago... the Book Shinto.

With Chen Ling's current mental power, it was a world of difference compared to the other party. There was no doubt that the other party's rank must be above the fourth rank, but not to the fifth rank, because compared with the aura of the five-pattern law enforcer, there was still a gap.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person is someone sent by the Star Chamber of Commerce or the Seven-Pattern Law Enforcement Officer.

Because kidnapping Chen Ling is against the rules of Aurora City, they can't send law enforcement officers directly, so they can only use some strong people outside the system, and the Book God Dao owner in front of them is obviously one of them.

"What if I refuse?" Chen Ling said word by word.
