……
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Imperial Capital, Shangyun District, Xia Family Manor.
The second floor of the castle is brightly lit, and the atmosphere in the small room is extremely dignified.
Xia Xuan and Xia Dongfang were sitting opposite each other, and their expressions were very ugly at this moment.
The action against Fang Wen, Vice Minister of Finance, unexpectedly failed.
And it was a complete failure, and fell into the trick set by the other party!
This news is really a big blow to the Xia family.
And what this means, both of them know very well.
Xia Xuan took a deep breath, frowned, and said slowly: "I didn't expect our Xia family to have a ghost."
Hearing this, Xia Dongfang took up the conversation and said: "The family has recruited many outsiders in order to expand their strength in the past few years. Although they have been careful enough, it is inevitable that some caring people will come in.
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything else, the most urgent thing is to first determine what the last name of this inner ghost is, and how much secret information he knows. "
Xia Xuan nodded slowly to show his approval.
He squinted his eyes, various thoughts kept flashing through his mind, and pondered: "It seems that the Xia family needs to conduct a thorough investigation. As for how much this inner ghost knows, I guess it should be very limited.
Otherwise, he should have passed on the news a long time ago, and it is impossible for my Xia family to develop to this stage. "
"Makes sense."
Xia Dongfang also frowned, he thought about it carefully, and then continued: "Now that the inner ghost is so messed up, the previous plan has completely come to a standstill.
Let's put aside the matter of thoroughly investigating the inner ghost. You and I must first discuss what to do next.
The war on the border should continue for another half a month, the general has no time to take care of the imperial capital, and we must not interfere with the important event. "
Hearing these words, Xia Xuan couldn't help frowning even more.
The death of Xia Jiuchuan and Xia Mei was indeed a considerable loss to the Gaoling Xia Clan.
They have a long history like the Five Great Families, and they have never accumulated a solid family business. It is extremely distressing to lose an eighth level inexplicably.
Xia Xuan is in an extremely bad mood now, he got up and paced back and forth in the room, and at the same time said to himself:
"Jiuchuan is not weak, if he wants to kill him in just a quarter of an hour, the opponent needs to mobilize at least two eighth-level S-level awakeners, and Li Ming must be one of them.
Qingyang Li's side did not transfer other people, which means that there are other secret backers, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to do this.
Who could this secret mastermind be? "
Xia Xuan fell into deep doubts, and Xia Dongfang who was beside him was also puzzled.
In terms of laying out the information network, Xia Xuan prides himself on doing a good job, but whether it is the mysterious force that has been targeting the Xia family, or the unknown backhand who suddenly appeared today, he has not received any information. information.
Ok?
and many more……
Xia Xuan stopped suddenly, raised his head abruptly, his eyes were bright.
He keenly grasped the key point from the thought that came up just now, he took a breath, and then said solemnly:
"Second Uncle, tonight's secret backhand is probably the mysterious force that has been hiding in the dark!"
"what do you mean……"
Xia Dongfang shrunk suddenly, the complicated thoughts in his mind seemed to find a thread in a mess, and suddenly became clear.
"The mysterious force is the person secretly cultivated by the Li family in Qingyang?"
"uncertain."
Xia Xuan shook his head, and said: "It is also possible that the two parties reached a consensus under some kind of interest exchange and started cooperation, but no matter which possibility it is...
This secret force must not be allowed to stay any longer! "
As soon as this remark came out, Xia Dongfang nodded in agreement.
Previously, they thought that the seventh level was already the limit, but in the blink of an eye, they were slapped in the face fiercely. This force actually has even the awakened ones of the eighth level!
The eighth-level S-level, this is not a Chinese cabbage on the side of the road, how can you say that one pops out and one pops out?
The magnitude of this force is far beyond their imagination, and it is really too outrageous.
Xia Xuan and the two were shocked, but in addition to the shock, the killing intent was almost thickened into substance.
The mysterious forces have repeatedly hindered the great plan of the Xia family and caused huge losses to the Xia family.
Xia Xuan is deeply aware that if this mysterious force is not completely resolved first, the troubles will only get bigger and bigger.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, opened and then slowly clenched his five fingers, and whispered softly:
"It seems that the bait needs to be a little more aggressive. I don't believe you can resist biting the bait."
"Then mobilize your strength first and implement your fishing net plan. It is best to catch them all in one go and cut the weeds directly."
Xia Dongfang's voice was low, his cloudy eyeballs gradually became clear, his hunchbacked body straightened inch by inch, and a powerful aura erupted from his whole body.
"This time, I will do it myself."
132 Extorting a Confession by Torture
The next day.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Security Bureau, basement level.
Qin Mo stood side by side with Li Changqing, in front of the cell.
Apart from the two of them, there is only one Li Ming hiding in the air, and there are no other idlers on this floor.
Even Li Mo and Li Yuan did not participate in this top-secret interrogation. Their trust is top-notch, but their strength is too low.
"It's getting late, let's get started."
Qin Mo turned his head and said to Li Changqing beside him, then he pulled the chair beside his legs and Shi Shiran sat down.
Hearing this, Li Changqing nodded, walked into the prison room, stood opposite Xia Mei, stretched out his right hand and covered her head, and an extremely weak mental power emanated silently.
Tens of seconds later, Xia Mei, who was still in a deep sleep before, suddenly frowned slightly.
She raised her eyelids with difficulty, looked up, and Mohu's vision gradually became clear.
At the same time, the dusty memories came like a flood. From the moment she was hugged out of the swaddle, scenes began to replay like a movie.
Some things that she had almost forgotten, now became extremely clear, as if they just happened yesterday.
The memory playback speed is very fast, which is a great burden on Xia Mei's spirit, but she can't take the initiative to stop all this, she can only accept it passively.
Veins quickly appeared on her forehead, and her face was full of pain.
"What did you do to me?!" Xia Mei shouted angrily in a hoarse voice.
Seeing her like this, Li Changqing smiled slightly and replied: "It's just a little mental trick, it's just for you to remember more clearly, so that you can take notes later, don't worry, take it easy, it will be over soon .”
"Ah!"
Xia Mei let out a muffled snort, and the memory in her mind was passing faster and faster. The final picture was frozen in the safe house, and then came to an abrupt end.
Li Changqing didn't lie to her, this speed is really fast.
Xia Mei's body was slumped on the chair, her bangs were soaked in sweat and stuck to her forehead, she didn't have a sense of charm.
Taking advantage of this short respite, Xia Mei began to quickly check her physical condition and observe the surrounding environment by the way.
However, just looking at it for a while, her heart immediately sank.
She is in a very bad state now, showing weakness all over her body, how can she still look like an S-level awakened person?
The internal organs, as well as the meridians and bones in the body all have serious hidden injuries, and the huge genetic power is like a pool of silent stagnant water, unable to make any waves.
In short, the current Xia Mei is not much different from an ordinary person, the only difference is that she has the body of a demigod.
"Stop wasting your efforts in vain. Your genes have been completely locked up by the secret mine. It is almost impossible to break free by yourself."
Li Changqing smiled and said slowly, it is precisely because he knew all this that he dared to get so close to her so boldly.
On the other hand, Xia Mei, when she heard the words "Secret Mine", her heart that had already sunk in the bottom of the sea shattered into four or five petals in an instant, and a faint sense of despair rose in her heart.
As Li Changqing said, with the secret mine in her body, it is absolutely impossible for her to escape.
For now, the only way is to wait for others to rescue.
It's just... Will the Xia family take this risk?
Xia Mei's eyes changed, she looked down at the silver rings on her wrists and ankles, her throat was bitter.
This silver ring is actually made of secret mines. They have the same effect as the handcuffs used by the Security Bureau before, which can suppress the genetic power in the human body.
But that kind of handcuffs are ineffective on S-level awakened people, only this kind of special refined silver ring can do it.
"So, can we talk now?"
Just when she was full of bitterness, Li Changqing took aim at the opportunity and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Xia Mei slowly raised her head, and casually swept around.
She saw Qin Mo sitting outside the cell, but she didn't care about his existence, she just turned her head to look at Li Changqing and asked:
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Of course, we are talking about how the Gaoling Xia Clan colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, how they supported the bandits, how they attacked and killed important officials of the empire." Li Changqing smiled.
As soon as these words came out, Xia Mei froze in place, with the same shocked expression on her face as that of the dead Xia Jiuchuan.
How would he know?
How would the security bureau know?
What Li Changqing said above are all extremely secret things, and logically speaking, it is impossible to expose them.
However, the reality couldn't help her not to believe it.
The other party knew it clearly!
However, Xia Mei hid her shock very well. After less than a second of being in a daze, she immediately smiled and said delicately:
"This brother is really incomprehensible. Why can't I understand a single word of the Xia family's collaborating with the enemy and treason and assassinating important officials?"
"Oh? Don't understand? It seems that your mind is still a little unclear, so let you recall it again."
Li Changqing maintained his harmless smile, raised his hand again and released a weak spiritual force, covering Xia Mei's brain.
Immediately afterwards, all the memories started to play the movie at high speed again, only this time...
It's upside down.
The painful screams in the cell sounded again, like the most beautiful movement in the world.
Massive memory images are forcibly compressed to flicker at the speed of light within half a minute, which will cause a huge mental load on the human body, and if it cannot bear it, it will collapse on the spot.
Compared with those traditional physical punishments, mental torture is obviously a thousand times more terrifying.
What Li Changqing is doing now is to break down Xia Mei's spirit step by step and destroy the psychological defense she has built up.
Qin Mo, who was sitting safely on the chair, watched all this quietly, without the slightest inner fluctuation, and didn't feel that this method was too cruel.
That's because Xia Mei is an S-level awakener, otherwise there would be no need for such trouble.
Li Changqing can directly read her memory, as long as he avoids the core area of the spiritual seed, but it is not possible now.
Half a minute passed in a flash, and Li Changqing slowly withdrew his hand.
Xia Mei was panting heavily, she was childish and indifferent, she had lost her original luster, she was covered in profuse cold sweat, as if she had just been fished out of a water tank.
The bright red evening dress on her body was tightly attached to her skin, reflecting the perfect curve of her figure.
Seeing Xia Mei slightly collapsed, the smile on the corner of Li Changqing's mouth gradually deepened, and he immediately took out a document from behind him, opened it and placed it in front of her eyes.
I saw densely packed small characters and photos on the document, all of which contained detailed personal information about Xia Mei.
It clearly recorded her relationship with the Gaoling Xia family.
Xia Mei just glanced at her face, her face changed, and the fragile psychological defense line that was already cracked became even more dilapidated.
