Once, I wanted to be a good person

Upon hearing Hua Jian's words, Pig-head man laughed and then said, "I'm very sorry."

"I have already found out the intelligence you haven't mentioned."

"So, you are of no value anymore."

Hua Jian looked at him incredulously, "How, how is this possible...?"

For a moment, he seemed to suddenly realize something, spat out blood while saying, "Mind... Ability User?"

Pig-head man smiled as he pulled out his slaughtering knife and then said, "Right."@@novelbin@@

"So... you have been thinking about stalling for time, getting revenge on me, and I am also well aware of the false information mixed into the intelligence..."

Hua Jian's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the Pig-head man. He finally took his last breath slowly...

He took the Magic Prohibition Decree out from Hua Jian's clothes and stuffed it back into his mouth.

Then, watching as the body gradually disappeared, Pig-head man slowly shook his head and whispered softly another sentence, "However, the reason I wanted to kill you wasn't for these thoughts of yours."

"It's purely because... you were the one who wanted to kill me first."

After finishing speaking, he waited until the body had completely vanished, then slowly took off the mask on his head, revealing himself to be... Fang Ze.

.....

Having used the Late-Night Investigation Room so many times, Fang Ze had actually experimented and found out several common investigation methods of the Late-Night Investigation Room.

When looking to summon "assistants," he used "Pretending to be Gods and Ghosts"...

When facing a deadly enemy, he used "Extreme Interrogation"...

When dealing with enemies from whom he needed to keep alive, he employed "Dream Skills"...

And then, there was the "Fusion with Reality," like when he interrogated Golden Fox and Qiu Yue...

Each of these methods had its pros and cons, suitable for different scenarios.

Among them, "Fusion with Reality" was the fastest way to gain intelligence initially.

Because in this approach, Fang Ze would simulate the real-world environment of the investigated and the people around them.

This would naturally give the investigated a sense of immersion and "safety," making them more prone to revealing their hearts due to misinformation.

Therefore, Fang Ze decided to try using the identity of the liaison to interrogate Hua Jian after a spark of inspiration when he saw the disguise of the liaison this afternoon.

Additionally, this method had another benefit: it was safer.

After all, Hua Jian was a high-level manager of the Security Bureau and was now a captive of the Rejuvenation Society.

If he died mysteriously, both the Rejuvenation Society and the Security Bureau might resort to special Awakening Abilities to investigate.

For instance... playback of brain memory images before death, or eyeball playback, and so on...

The more "vests" Fang Ze put on, the safer he would be...

Thinking about this and recalling the entire investigation process to ensure there was no behaviour that exposed his identity, he deactivated the room's disguise.

Returning to the original appearance of the investigation room, Fang Ze went over to the desk to first check the fruits of today's labor and then ponder over the interrogation intelligence provided by Hua Jian...

.....

Meanwhile, at the same time.

At the moment of Hua Jian's death in the secret space,

In the Red Light District, Qingfeng Ancient Street, a steamed bun shop,

The liaison from the Rejuvenation Society, the steamed bun shop owner, was holding a kitchen knife, expressionless, chopping meat relentlessly.

It was late at night, the busiest time on Qingfeng Ancient Street.

Many customers, arm in arm with ladies of various identities but all dressed in ancient costumes, were enjoying themselves with wine and words, or doing some indescribable things.

Just then, suddenly, the steamed bun shop owner's nose twitched slightly, his expression grew stern, and he quickly turned his head.

After a moment, a semi-transparent ghostly shadow separated from his body and rushed through the wall into the inner room.

Entering the inner room, the shadow solidified and took the form of the steamed bun shop owner again.

He crouched down and then lifted a one-square-meter piece of blue brick from the ground. Underneath the brick was a dark passage.

He jumped in, and the blue brick automatically closed, showing no sign of disturbance from the outside.

Even knocking on it produced the sound of something solid, not hollow...

After turning a couple of corners down the passage, he emerged in a cramped room.

The room looked makeshift, as if privately excavated, with various clothes and masks laid out, and a few weapons as well.

In the center was a desk, and Hua Jian lay on it, already stone dead...

The liaison stepped forward, and without even examining, just by a glance, he discovered Hua Jian's cause of death: a pierced heart!

He carefully checked Hua Jian's situation: a Magic Prohibition Decree stuffed in his mouth, the ropes on his body undisturbed. It seemed exactly as he left it...

Except for... that hole in his chest!

With this thought, the liaison's nose twitched again as he sniffed the air; then he furrowed his brow, recalling.

He could confirm that no one had entered his room from the outside tonight.

But in this secret room, there was oddly the scent of a third person. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

Only, that person was very cunning, completely covered in the smell of alcohol, masking their natural body scent.

This made the liaison very puzzled: who exactly was it?

Who could elude his perception, his sense of smell, sneak in here, and then kill Hua Jian?

Was it some kind of special Awakening Ability?

Or... possibly a Spirit Ascension tier master?

After all, it seemed only Spirit Ascension tier masters could travel between the Spirit Realm and the Real World, unobstructed by physical structures of the Real World.

But... to hire a Spirit Ascension tier master to silence someone?

Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?

What secret did Hua Jian know that made the other party so nervous?
