Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 205 Speed ​​204 Punishment
The next day, at dawn, in the interrogation room of the detention center.

A major case occurred here last night. Two prisoners escaped from prison?!
Although the security team was dispatched at the first moment, the cunning fugitive still slipped away. After a series of investigations, the detention center's director Yingqi finally set his target on a mysterious woman who came to visit the prison for two consecutive days.

That is, Carly.

"yawn……"

At dawn, helpless and aggrieved Carly slowly climbed up from the interrogation table. Her eyes were dark and red. She had cried a lot during the whole night.

"Hey!! Let me out!!"

"I said, these things have nothing to do with me!!"

"And weren't those items sent in after your search?!"

"I... I really don't know why they had to escape from prison when their sentence was less than a month..."

"Woooooooooooo..."

Carly shouted to the outside of the door in grievance, her voice a little hoarse. Originally, she had planned to bring some more things to visit Jack Atlas today, but she didn't expect that she was caught by the security team before she could get all the things together.

"Bang!!!!!!"

The heavy iron door opened, and Director Yingqi, who had also been up all night and looked anxious, rushed in fiercely: "You say it has nothing to do with you?! I don't believe you! I advise you to tell the truth! Otherwise, I will throw you in jail too!"

When Chief Yingqi was making the threat, a security guard ran over and whispered something to him. Chief Yingqi frowned, glanced at Carly, then turned and walked towards the lobby of the detention center.

In the gray morning light, a senior middle-aged male reporter with a reporter badge on his chest stood outside the door with a stern face. He was holding a black package in one hand and a notebook in the other. When he saw Director Yingqi and his men coming, his expression became even more gloomy.

"Who are you?" Director Yingqi asked impatiently.

The middle-aged male reporter flashed his work ID and said straight to the point, "I'm the news editor of Lightspeed Duel Daily. Carly has an important mission to complete today. There's nothing else to do. Please let her go."

Director Yingqi scoffed, "What are you talking about? She's a major suspect in helping two fugitives escape prison~"

"But do you have any evidence?" The middle-aged male reporter adjusted his glasses.

Director Yingqi sneered, ready to ignore it and leave: "I will."

Hearing these three words, the corner of the middle-aged male reporter's mouth curled up. He put the black package in his right hand on the ground and opened it, calling out to Director Yingqi who was about to leave: "Wait a moment."

"Mr. Director, just based on those three words you just said."

"Am I to understand that you intend to use some unconventional means, such as torture to extract a confession?"

"So what?" Director Yingqi didn't care about this kind of thing. But when he turned his head, he saw the camera sticking out of the package on the ground. An indicator light on it was flashing. It seemed that their conversation had been recorded from the beginning: "Tsk! You bastard!!"

The middle-aged male reporter's expression was sharp and angry: "Director Yingqi, this whole thing is full of doubts."

"In my opinion, the supervision in your detention center is extremely lax, and there was no need for the two illegal immigrants to force their way out."

"I can accept your request for Carly to cooperate with the investigation, but according to the laws of New Domino City, you cannot treat her as a suspect without complete evidence!!"

"Excuse me for being blunt, but I'm afraid you're seeking revenge on Carly for exposing the conspiracy between the Pegasus Club and its higher-ups six months ago!" Director Yingqi was furious. He hated wasting his time arguing with such pretentious people. He rolled up his sleeves and tried to snatch the camera, but the middle-aged male reporter paid him no mind. He simply sneered, "Just a reminder, Director Yingqi, our conversation footage is being synchronized with the database in real time. If you make such threatening moves again, my colleagues will expose you without hesitation!"

Upon hearing this, Director Yingqi clenched his fists and shook with anger, but he had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

At this moment, a familiar voice echoed from not far away, and a short figure slowly emerged from the hazy morning mist. It was none other than Yego, the Deputy Chief of the New Domino City Public Security Bureau, who always wore clown makeup!
"Let him go, Yingqi." Yego ordered coldly.

Director Yingqi's expression changed: "But..."

"What?!" Yego raised his voice several degrees, "Could it be that the laws of New Domino City are no longer even managed by the Public Security Bureau?!"

Yego's tone was very serious, and Director Yingqi could only grit his teeth and order someone to release Carly.

When Carly saw that the person who saved her was actually the editor-in-chief of her own newspaper, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes again: "Wow, wow, wow... Editor-in-Chief!"

The middle-aged male reporter said nothing more. He greeted Yego first, then turned off the camera, took Carly to the media car outside the detention center gate, and drove away...

After the troublesome person left, Yego angrily shouted, "Yingqi! Are you crazy?! How dare you talk like that in front of the media?!"

Standing in front of this man who was countless times thinner than himself, the burly and strong Yingqi didn't dare to say a word. He could only stand there with his head down, stammering and nodding.

Yego exhaled heavily and said in a cold voice, "You don't need to worry about this matter."

"What?!" Yingqi thought he was fired.

Yego added, "The General Administration will handle this matter. While we won't fire you, we will punish you to the highest standards!! During this time, clean up your mess!! I don't want to see the same thing happen a second time!"

Yingqi looked embarrassed, but he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The highest level of punishment was extremely cumbersome. Not only would he have to write a report of nearly 100,000 words, but he would also be subject to a hefty fine. Furthermore, the entire detention center would be affected. He might not receive any bonuses for the next three years, and the annual funding from the Public Security Administration headquarters would be significantly reduced...

But this ending was already very good for him. After all, Yego took over the business, and he, who should have taken the biggest responsibility, didn't have to worry about it anymore.

Yego lectured for a while, then left the detention center. As he walked outside, a seemingly treacherous smile appeared on his face:
"Hehehehe~"

"Despicable little people are easy to control~"

"Those single-minded sheriffs can be quite useful, but in situations like this, it's better to have more people like Yingqi."

The leather boots made a soft clicking sound as they stepped on the concrete floor.

Yego glanced at his watch and waved his hand, and a car stopped in front of him.

If they want to suppress this matter, the two people they need to look for are the sheriff Niu Weizhe who is directly responsible, and Ying Qi who is in the detention center.

Now that Yingqi has surrendered, the only one left is Niuwei, the rough guy from the satellite area.

Yego drove straight to the nearby Public Security Bureau, but when he got there, he discovered that Niu Weizhe was still on a mission. After checking his location, he found that this guy had actually been guarding the gate of the high-end residential complex where the incident occurred all night...
