Chapter 42: Reporting

  "We just want to ask this gentleman to assist in the investigation."

  The leading policeman said expressionlessly.

  A group of students suddenly burst into a commotion, almost to the point of frenzy. Several police officers did not expect such a scene to unfold, as initially these students were angry but had not made any radical moves.

  For a moment, the scene was in chaos.

  Yang Yunqiu glanced at the police officers in front of her, a few of whom were indeed upright and didn't seem like bad people. She turned to Xu Ying and said: "Take the students to find a place to review the previous lessons. If there are any questions, record them first and we'll discuss them together when the three teaching assistants arrive tonight."

  Xu Ying gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed, but she shouted at the police officer: "Let me tell you, our teacher is a student of Nan Da, if you harm even one hair on his head, the school won't let it go."

  They finally got Yang Yunqiu into the police car, and those several policemen were all drenched in sweat. When handling cases, the most troublesome thing is to encounter students, especially passionate young people.

  The police car led the way, and not long after, the driver glanced back and said in a low voice with a bitter smile: "Officer Lin, those students are all following behind. Look at what cars they're driving - Audi A4, Ferrari, even Lamborghini... If this kid is really a scammer, then he's a big-time scammer, not easy to deal with."

  Lin's team was also a bit apprehensive, as this time he had received direct orders from the director, who said that there were clear intelligence reports showing that Yang Yunqiu and the "Xuanxin Sect" which had held dharma assemblies in various parts of the world, including China's capital, were related. They used propaganda to deceive people into believing that their master was all-powerful and could solve all the troubles of the masses, and then swindled them out of billions of dollars. The impact was huge, and now they were all wanted by Interpol. Yet many wealthy individuals still believed that the mysterious master had great supernatural powers.

  Lin couldn't understand why a group of wealthy and influential men, including many high-level intellectuals, would be so deeply convinced by a swindler. What's with this "Xuan Xin Zong" thing? Just hearing the name makes me think they've been watching too much TV - it'd be better if they called it "Xuan Xin Zheng Zong", at least that way people might think of Nie Xiaoqian, Ning Caichen, and the famous "Ghost Story".

  Yang Yunqiu naturally did not know what Lin was thinking, he was taken to the Public Security Bureau, sat in the interrogation room for half a day, and no one came to interrogate him, only serving him cup after cup of plain boiled water.

  He didn't get angry either, when others gave him something to drink, he would drink it, and if they didn't give him food, he wouldn't rush to ask for it.

  Lin's team looked at the young man outside, calm and composed, drinking so much water, not even thinking of going to the bathroom once, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking that this young man really had some composure, if it were someone else, they would probably be restless by now.

  It was a female police officer next to her who couldn't help but sigh and say, "This little guy really doesn't look like a scammer!" She thought for a moment, then took the money herself to buy a hamburger and personally handed it over.

  Officer Song, a female police officer with the surname Song, had just arrived at the police station. She was pretty and intelligent, and young in age. Everyone in the station, including Captain Lin, treated her with extra care. After all, it's rare to see a beautiful girl in the station, even if she were just a vase, she would still be pleasing to the eye, let alone someone who is more than just a vase.

  Lin's team saw the female police officer enter and give Yang Yunqiu a hamburger, then the two of them started chatting. Before long, Xiao Song was teased into laughter, laughing so hard that he was shaking all over, while Yang Yunqiu maintained a single expression throughout.

  "What you said is really accurate, I've seen Lin and his girlfriend on a date once, he indeed brought along a schedule, with detailed plans for every minute, such as what time to eat, what time to say sweet nothings, what time to watch a movie, and what time to give flowers. If anything went wrong and they couldn't stick to the schedule, he would feel really uneasy."

  Yang Yunqiu nodded: "Looking at your team leader Lin's face, it is indeed a matter of great order."

  Xiao Song burst out laughing.

  The outside Lin team heard that it was all black, and they quickly let someone call out this little girl. Otherwise, if it wasn't for them to interrogate others, but instead changed to others asking a few questions, they would have dug up their own old bottom.

  There were also police on the side, looking around curiously at the commotion.

  "Lin, there are over a dozen people gathered at the entrance of our police station. They're all students from that tutoring class."

  "What's going on?"

  "It's nothing, just a bunch of luxury cars blocking the road, with many onlookers."

  Lin sighed: "Nothing, just don't make a fuss... I'll go take a look."

  Xiao Song reluctantly left the interrogation room, and Lin entered, took out some materials to look at, and sighed: "You are still this year's college entrance examination champion, I remember that there were reports about you on TV news recently."

  At that time, Lin's team saw this and was also shocked.

  The current Gaokao top scorer is almost as famous as the ancient imperial scholars, at least within this year, they are absolutely a well-known figure.

  "Was it you who started this cram school a month ago?"

  Yang Yunqiu nodded: "Yes."

  "Your tutoring class, all tutoring materials must be kept confidential, outsiders do not know what you are learning, the recruited personnel are not limited by age or identity, and even the assessment process is strictly confidential?"

  Yang Yunqiu nodded again: "Yes."

  "Look up and smile: 'My tutoring class procedures are complete, you can check slowly, as for the tutoring materials, that's a trade secret, I have the right to keep it confidential.'"

  Lin squinted his eyes and put the materials on the table, now feeling more suspicious about this tutoring class.

  Yang Yunqiu's class is not like other cram schools, which try to recruit as many students as possible. On the contrary, no matter what standards he uses to assess students, it is undoubtedly very strict. Out of ten people, maybe not even one will be admitted. The tuition fee is also very cheap, only 300 yuan per month, excluding food and accommodation. In a big city like Nan City, it's really not expensive, but the cheaper it is, the more likely there are problems. After all, no one does things without any benefit.

  According to Lin's idea, they shouldn't have acted so quickly and should have gathered evidence first. But for some reason, the director didn't know what he was thinking and insisted on bringing people in for questioning right away.

  Lin's team was thinking about how to open the gap when they heard someone outside shouting: "Lin's team, Director and Wu's team have arrived."

  Before long, Director Xiang of the Nanshi Public Security Bureau and Wu Wen from the Second Economic Investigation Brigade entered. Lin Shaoheng frowned, he didn't like Wu Wen much, mainly because there were too many stains on him, an economic investigator who had been accused of corruption and bribery, it was really not very decent. However, as a colleague, he wasn't some young rookie in the police bureau, so he could still manage to keep his composure.

  "Kobayashi, Wu Wen's case may have some connection with your suspect, let him ask a few questions."

  Without giving Lin Shaoceng a chance to object, Wu Wen brought in a small policeman with his head down and not saying a word into the interrogation room. According to regulations, they had to be two people participating in the interrogation together.

  The director also dragged Lin Shaosheng to drink tea and chat.

  Lin Shaosheng smiled wryly and thought to himself, "Yang Yunqiu that kid is probably going to suffer a bit."

  Wu Wen entered the interrogation room, first turning off all electronic devices such as cameras, then handcuffed Yang Yunqiu and placed a written confession on the table in front of him.

  It's not good to put handcuffs on him when there is no conclusive evidence like now.

  Yang Yunqiu picked it up and took a closer look, and suddenly lost his smile - inside, it was meticulously recorded how he cheated people out of their money, such as requiring students to spend a lot of money buying amulets in order to get high scores on the college entrance exam, and so on. It really did seem like that kind of thing, and if it were made public, probably quite a few people would believe it. There was even stuff about Yang Yunqiu using his position as a teacher to harass female students.

  "You want me to sign this?"

  Wu Wen raised an eyebrow: "You're clever, if you know what's good for you, just sign honestly. If you don't know what's good for you, then I don't know what will happen either. As far as I know, you still have a grandmother named Wu Yue, living in Cuijiazhuang, seemingly alone and old. I wonder if she can withstand those troubles."

  Yang Yunqiu suddenly raised his head, and for the first time, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. Although angry, he remained calm and composed, curling up the corners of his lips into a smile as he shook his head and said, "It seems that this isn't the first time you've done something like this."

  The doll sat on the table, recording audio and saying: "This person, I support humane destruction, killing him can gain great merit, this kind of scum, it's really not necessary to waste our spirit to reform."

  Yang Yunqiu also had the urge to kill, this was his first time having such a strong intention to kill since he was born. When he faced Fangzhou earlier, he didn't have such a strong killing intent either, because even though Fangzhou had entered the demonic path and killed countless people, he never harmed an elderly person, a weak person, or a woman and child. On the contrary, every time he took someone away, he would give that person's family enough money to live on.

  This world is originally a place where human life is worthless, and the evil heretics like Ark are also openly malevolent. However, this person in front of me wears the cloak of justice while doing the most despicable things. Isn't that making everyone who meets him lose faith in justice? This kind of behavior is even more severe than the harm caused by evil.

  Yang Yunqiu raised his hand, and with the tip of his finger, he drew a complex array on Wu Wen's dark soul. The array was so intricate that it consumed a lot of his energy, and in just an instant, his face turned pale and sweat dripped from his forehead.

  Wu Wen couldn't help but smile smugly, thinking that his current appearance was due to the intense struggle in his heart - never expecting this kid to be so easy to fool. He thought he needed to come a few more times and do some substantial "good deeds" to get things done.

  But little did I think, this kid is very clever.

  As expected, before long, Yang Yunqiu picked up the confession and carefully flipped through it, looking like she really wanted to sign. Wu Wensuo sat back in his chair and waited for a moment, not hurrying to urge her on. He had always liked watching people's desperate expressions just before they surrendered.

  However, for a long time, Yang Yunqiu just flipped through it, holding the pen and waving it around, but never signed his name. This made Wu Wen's mood fluctuate, feeling uncomfortable. He furrowed his brow, slammed the table, and angrily said: "What's so great about it? You think you're a flower? You have to sign too..."

  The words had barely fallen when the gate was suddenly pushed open.

  Wu Wen was startled and turned his head to see that it was one of his brothers. He couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What's going on?"

  "Wu Ge, it's not good! This kid is a tough nut, the president of Nan Da and a professor have arrived at our bureau, and..."

  "Let the director handle it, I'll be done here soon." Wu Wen's heart skipped a beat as he didn't want to deal with those professors and principals either. He hastily walked over to take the confession from Yang Yunqiu's hand, but unexpectedly, Yang Yunqiu flipped her hand and the confession was gone. Wu Wen was shocked and pale, shouting loudly: "You're looking for death!"

  "Wu Wen, how can you speak like that? Be polite, we're just asking Yang to assist with the investigation. How can you use such foul language?"

  Wu Wenyi was taken aback, and when he turned his head, he saw Item Ju walking into the interrogation room with a few people, her mannerisms polite and courteous. He took a closer look, and couldn't help but be shocked - the others, he didn't recognize, didn't know their background, but the person walking beside Item Ju, he absolutely couldn't not recognize, the big boss of the Nan City Military District, the eldest son of the Li family, Li Jing, that distinctive black face, who in the entire Nan City circle wouldn't recognize?

  His heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "Could it be that I've been deceived this time?"

  There are people who spend money to fabricate false confessions, frame individuals and so on. He has done it many times, each time with the help of an acquaintance. After careful investigation, it is found that the perpetrator has no background, which is why he takes action. Moreover, he usually does not take cases personally, so nothing big happens every time.

  It's the first time I've ever provoked a big shot like this today.

  Li Jing glanced at Yang Yunqiu, and Yang Yunqiu smiled. The deposition somehow ended up back in his hands, and he gently placed it on the table. "Is that General Li? Would you mind helping me keep this deposition safe? It was provided by the Public Security Bureau."

  Wu Wen was taken aback, his face changed greatly, and he rushed over to grab it back.

  Xiang Ju frowned immediately, loudly stopping him: "Wu Wen, what are you doing? Don't be reckless." Apparently, he didn't expect that this guy wouldn't know how to read people's faces and still dared to show off.

  Li Jing raised his hand and pressed him down, took the confession himself, flipped through it, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Yunqiu with a few hints of smile in his eyes. He casually put the thing away.

  Xiang Ju awkwardly scratched his head, bitterly smiling: "General Li, this thing is just something that underlings who don't understand the situation would come up with to scare people. Look at it, doesn't it seem like he didn't sign it?"

  Yang Yunqiu casually pressed the collar on her neck, and immediately a voice rang out - "Concubine, if you know what's good for you, just sign honestly. If you don't know what's good for you, I really don't know what will happen. As far as I know, you still have a grandmother named Wu Yue, who lives in Cuijiazhuang..."

  It was actually the conversation between Wu Wen and Yang Yunqiu just now.

  Wu Wen thudded to the ground with a loud crash, and Xiang Ju's face also changed greatly.

  Yang Yunqiu smiled and said: "I won't sign this thing, because it's not what I did. Even if I pretend to do it, I wouldn't dare write my own name. My name isn't that cheap."

  Li Jing didn't say anything else, no matter how much Xiang Ju shouted injustice. He handed the materials in his hand to the security guard behind him and said, "You asked Yang to assist in the investigation, do you have to wait for twelve hours? If so, it's okay, I'll accompany him to wait."
