Chapter 80 Interrogation of Si Lili

"Old Wang, thank you for your hard work today. If it weren't for your tracking technology, I really don't know what I would do!"

After watching Wang Qinian put Si Lili on the bed, Fan Xian said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, your words are strong."

Wang Qinian quickly cupped his hands and said, "It's my job, no hard work, no hard work!"

After receiving the reminder, Fan Xian said "Oh" twice, and quickly took out a fifty-liang silver note from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.

"This is this month's salary, the cows, the land, and the ten pigs. I'll have someone send them to you later."

"Thank you very much, sir. I am grateful!" Wang Qinian took the banknote with shining eyes.

He spread it out to take a look, and after confirming its authenticity, he happily put it in his arms.

He noticed that Fan Xian was looking at him.

Wang Qinian explained: "It's not that I don't trust you, sir. It's just my habit."

"It's okay." Fan Xian said with a smile.

"If everything is fine, sir, I'll leave first." Wang Qinian pointed outside.

"Go!" Fan Xian added, "Remember, don't make this public!"

"Wang will remember this!" Wang Qinian bowed to Fan Xian, then quickly used his Qinggong skills to leave Fan's house.

Seeing this, Qin Feng listened to her breathing and heartbeat, and after confirming that Si Lili was really unconscious, he dropped from the roof and walked towards Fan Xian's room.

"Brother Ye, are you still awake?" Fan Xian greeted Qin Feng with a smile when he saw him.

"With such a big commotion, it would be strange if he didn't wake up."

Qin Feng glanced at Si Lili and said, "Is this the courtesan Si Lili you mentioned? Why was she brought home?"

"It's easier to interrogate them at home. Otherwise, we'll be in a passive position if we go to the Inspection Office!"

At home, he can interrogate the person alone, but if he goes to the Inspection Institute, the news will spread and all kinds of monsters will come.

Even the person behind the scenes will send someone to silence you.

So in order to ensure that things go smoothly, it is naturally better to bring him home for interrogation.

"Coming back so late, was the arrest going smoothly?"

"It was a bit difficult when we went out at night."

Fan Xian explained to Qin Feng for a while so that he also understood the situation.

Overall it went smoothly, but the tracking was a bit troublesome.

Although Wang Qinian is an expert at tracking, it is really difficult to track a person in Kyoto.

Fortunately, Fan Xian was smart. He put himself in Si Lili's perspective and finally locked on the approximate area.

With the area range known, Wang Qinian's tracking technology came in handy. Based on the traces on the ground, he quickly found the place, which was a small courtyard.

In addition to Si Lili, there were also two Northern Qi spies hiding in the yard.

Fortunately, the two secret agents were not very strong, only at the seventh rank.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian each took care of them one at a time, and then knocked Si Lili unconscious and brought her back.

In order to stay hidden, the two men took small paths and alleys on their way back, looking just like two kidnappers.

After listening to Fan Xian's story, Qin Feng concluded, "You two carried Si Lili. Wouldn't that make you look like you had four legs? If a kid got up in the middle of the night to pee and saw it, wouldn't they think the coffin had become a spirit? They wouldn't be able to sleep that night!"

Fan Xian: “.”

Why does Brother Ye’s perspective seem a bit strange? He never expected that such a sentence would come out of Brother Ye’s mouth.

"She is about to wake up, please take your time to interrogate her." At this moment, Qin Feng flashed out of the room.

The next second, Si Lili woke up on Fan Xian's bed.

She didn't pretend to be asleep, but opened her eyes directly.

After taking a clear look at the surrounding situation, he said to Fan Xian: "Master Fan, we meet again."

"We just met in the courtyard of the Northern Qi spy." Fan Xian said expressionlessly.

"Is this your home? Why isn't this in the prison of the Inspection Bureau?"

"You want to go? If you want to go, I can take you there now?" Fan Xian said coldly.

Verbal confrontation is actually very important.

Because this is a means of breaking through psychological defenses, Fan Xian already has the advantage on the field.

If he has the upper hand in words, it will be much easier for him to interrogate him, so he must not speak empty words, he must be firm!
"So you came here to arrest me alone?" Si Lili changed the subject.

"This has nothing to do with you. You just need to know one thing: your life or death now depends on my thoughts!"

Fan Xian walked forward a few steps and sat on the edge of the bed, only half a meter away from Si Lili.

"Do you want to die?"

"Of course I don't want to." Si Lili's anger, which had been held in her stomach, was instantly released.

She knew that she had lost the verbal battle, and now the only bargaining chip she had was a name.

The name of the man who masterminded the assassination of Fan Xian!
"Then tell me the cause and effect of the assassination on Niulan Street." Fan Xian said calmly.

While speaking, he kept staring into Si Lili's eyes, putting pressure on her.

Si Lili couldn't bear this kind of pressure and could only turn her head away from looking at Fan Xian.

Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "I am from Northern Qi, and I have been ordered to hide. I have the power to dispatch my colleagues in Kyoto. Apart from the orders of the Northern Qi royal family, I am not subject to any restrictions!"

"And then?" Fan Xian asked Si Lili.

In fact, there is a feeling of knowing the answer and finding the process of solving the problem.

In his heart, he had already identified the eldest princess as the murderer, he just wanted to confirm it from Si Lili.

"Someone discovered my identity as a secret agent, and this person also captured Cheng Jushu who was lurking outside Kyoto and sneaked him into the city."

"Whether it's my identity or Cheng Jushu's location, only the bigwigs of Northern Qi have the right to know."

When Si Lili said this, she actually had a revengeful mentality in mind.

She was hiding in Kyoto, but her identity was betrayed by her own people. Now she is in a life-and-death crisis. Naturally, she is resentful.

Not to mention that her mission as a secret agent was forced upon her.

So at this moment, she said all this because she wanted to use Fan Xian to take revenge on these people.

Although the chances were slim, she could see that Fan Xian was no ordinary person, so she could tell these secrets so easily.

"Are the top leaders of Northern Qi also involved?"

Fan Xian didn't think too much about this, he just felt that the eldest princess was too powerful to be able to collude with the high-ranking officials of Northern Qi.

"Otherwise I wouldn't have been exposed." Si Lili said with a hint of resentment in her tone.

"Where's the back?"

"Cheng Jushu is unruly and will not be coerced, so that man came to Zuixianju and forced me to hand over the spy token. He has something on me, so I had no choice but to hand over the token!"

"In advance, I didn't know that the man wanted to kill you. After I heard about the assassination on Niulan Street and your counterattack against Cheng Jushu, I knew that it was impossible to do so, so I burned the boats and prepared to leave Beijing. Then you also know what happened. You caught me."

Fan Xian stared into Si Lili's eyes, as if trying to confirm whether she was lying.

Si Lili was not panicked and looked at Fan Xian.

After a while, Fan Xian asked, "One last question. Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Hearing this, Si Lili suddenly became more confident and said, "If you let me out of the city, I will tell you my name."

"Do you think you have the power to bargain? If you don't tell me, you will die!"

Fan Xian leaned forward a little more, feeling full of oppression.

"Then just kill me." Si Lili definitely didn't want to die. She still had a lot of things to do and she couldn't die.

Saying this at this time is just to increase the bargaining chips.

"You want to die?"

Fan Xian came closer to take a look at Si Lili, then moved away, stood up and said, "I didn't lose anything anyway, so it doesn't matter if I don't know the person behind this."

"I caught a Northern Qi spy, and I have even won a great deal! As long as I send you to the Inspection Office, your life or death will have nothing to do with me."

"That's not right. I can also make a suggestion to the Inspection Institute."

Fan Xian sat down on the bed again, looked at Si Lili and said, "I can give the Inspection Office an idea. I will lock you up in the bottom floor of the Inspection Office's dungeon."

"That's not all. I'm going to have someone dig a dark hole at the bottom. I'm going to let you stay in there. You won't be able to see anything. There's only endless darkness to keep you company!"

Seeing Si Lili trembling with fear at the scene he described, Fan Xian continued to ask.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this condition that you don't answer?"

Si Lili didn't say anything, but just trembled, as if she was frightened by the scene described by Fan Xian.

In fact, from beginning to end, Si Lili was not too scared. The reason why she was trembling and showing fear was simply that she didn't want to die.

Give Fan Xian a way out and continue to negotiate terms. Only in this way can she survive.

"If you are satisfied, I can send you to the Inspection Institute right now!"

Si Lili didn't answer, just shook her head.

Seeing this, Fan Xian asked, "Are you dissatisfied? Do you want to tell me your name?"

"How about this, as long as you tell me the name, I can't let you leave the city, but I can keep you locked up. You won't be in danger, humiliated, or tortured."

"You choose."

After saying that, Fan Xian stood up and took a step back, giving Si Lili enough space to think.

Si Lili sat on the bed, staring straight ahead with a dazed look in her eyes.

She was thinking about how to break the impasse.

But no matter what she thought, the only way to survive at the moment was to trust Fan Xian. Other than that, all other ways were dead ends.

There was no other way, so Si Lili nodded and said, "Master Fan, if I tell you the name, how can you tell whether it is real or fake?"

"I have my own way." Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

"That person is... the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lin Gong!"

Hearing this, Fan Xian's eyes widened, "Are you sure? Lin Gong?!"

In fact, the moment he heard the name, Fan Xian already believed it.

It seems that Lin Gong is extremely opposed to his marriage with Wan'er, and he is also a member of the prince's party. He also has the ability to kidnap Cheng Jushu, so it must be Lin Gong.

He asked back at this time, but he just couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

That was Wan'er's second brother. Although he opposed his marriage, Fan Xian never thought it would be him.

"Yes, that's him." Si Lili nodded.

Fan Xian did not answer, but just sat there in a daze, seemingly thinking.

"Mr. Fan, our agreement..." Si Lili was a little worried that Fan Xian would break the appointment.

But by this time, Fan Xian had come back to his senses. After calming down, he said.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my word, but you have to hand over the names of the spies. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. No matter who asks you, just say you didn't tell me, including Wang Qinian. Do you understand?"

"understood!"

Seeing Si Lili nod, Fan Xian stepped forward and struck her with a knife.

"Good interrogation skills."

At this time, Qin Feng walked in and exclaimed in admiration.

Just now he was outside, listening to the verbal exchange between the two and found it very interesting.

"It's a pity that Si Lili is even more powerful. Apart from a few emotional fluctuations at the end, her heartbeat didn't speed up much in the previous part."

"what?!"

Fan Xian was just feeling sad alone, thinking that the murderer was Lin Gong and how he would face Wan'er.

But Qin Feng's words made him stand up immediately.

He thought he had performed very well, but Si Lili was played around by him.

Now it seems that Si Lili is simply a natural actor. Even he was fooled!
At this moment, Fan Xian had an urge to call Si Lili up and interrogate her again.

But this emotion came and went quickly.

Soon he calmed down and asked Qin Feng: "Brother Ye, what do you think I should do?"

"Lin Gong is Wan'er's second brother, the prime minister's son, and a member of the crown prince's party. What can I do?"

No matter whether the ultimate mastermind was the eldest princess or the crown prince, Fan Xian had no evidence to accuse the other party.

Although the manager had evidence for Lin Gong's words, he was still hesitating whether to take action against Lin Gong.

Because of the relationship with Lin Wan'er, he was very conflicted!

Lin Wan'er told him that her second brother was very good to her. If Fan Xian went to deal with Lin Gong, how would he face Wan'er?
Huh? You're hesitating about this?
Qin Feng listened to Fan Xian's words and his face was full of question marks.

My friend, you have been assassinated. Are you in danger?

Why are you still worrying about this and that? Are you kidding me? Of course I'm going to fuck him!
If you told Lin Wan'er that her second brother tried to assassinate you and she protected her second brother, would you still want to be her wife?

A daughter-in-law who can't tell right from wrong, why doesn't she get a divorce and go home to celebrate the New Year?

"What should we do? Just kill him!" Qin Feng patted Fan Xian's shoulder.

Fan Xian: "Ah?"

"The stone tablet at the gate of the Inspection Institute was left by your mother. Have you seen it?"

"Look!"

"So what are you hesitating about? Will you regret it when I come to assassinate you next time and kill you?"

Qin Feng paused and said, "I still owe you two things. Do you want to use one of them? I can help you kill Lin Gong!"

"No, no, no! Don't do that. He's Wan'er's second brother!" Fan Xian said hurriedly.

"But Brother Ye is right. If I hesitate, I will be in a dilemma and will only die in the end. I have to show my fangs and let them know that it will hurt if they deal with me. Only in this way can I truly survive!"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Qin Feng nodded and continued to ask: "Really not going to consider it? As long as you use this opportunity, I will kill Lin Gong within three days."

Qin Feng was not bragging. He was a warrior at the peak of the ninth rank and was still hiding in the dark.

It would not be easy to take Lin Gong's life. He could do it without anyone knowing.

"Brother Ye, there's really no need. I already know what to do!" Fan Xian said with a wry smile.

At this time, he discovered a new characteristic in Qin Feng: he had a rather aggressive personality, but he still had some rationality and was not a reckless man.

"Come to me anytime if you have any ideas! I'm going to bed, enjoy yourself." Qin Feng waved his hand and left the room.

"I'm not." Fan Xian wanted to explain, but Qin Feng had already left.

He turned his head to look at Si Lili lying on the bed, shook his head helplessly, then continued to spread a mat on the floor next to him and went to sleep.

Someone must be watching Si Lili, otherwise he would also sleep in the side room. There are four or five rooms in his yard.
