"The kidnappers have been caught, but the hostages are missing. What kind of joke are you talking about?"
"I don't need to lie to you. This is the truth. The people on the side of the Rat King can testify to my words. I believe you have also received the news."
Wei Yanwu took a puff of dry tobacco and exhaled white smoke.
"My people are still tracking the traces of your granddaughter. I suspect that it was a third-party force."
"The third party force, which side?"
"I have no clue, but I can make a rough guess by sending people from the kidnapper's side."
"Who is the force behind the kidnappers?"
"They are being tortured. It won't be long before the results come out."
"They dared to touch my granddaughter. I should have the right to know the power behind the prisoner. I want to go and see the torture scene, okay?"
"If Your Excellency Shi Huaiya doesn't mind the bloody scene."
Wei Yanwu had no objection. One was the highest official in control of Longmen, and the other was an important partner in Longmen's business. Under the protection of many guards, the two quickly arrived at Longmen's special prison.
"Sir Wei!"
The warden of the special prison came out to greet him.
"How about it? Did the kidnappers caught today confess?"
Wei Yanwu asked directly.
“They confessed the names of people who assisted in the kidnapping in Longmen and we are verifying the identities of those names.
Among them, a guy codenamed Duanwei confessed the appearance of the person who attacked their team.
However, the description of the image is not clear. The biggest feature is that he has no hair, and he also uses descriptions such as ghosts. He is suspected to be a member of the Eastern ghost tribe. "
The warden made a report.
"What about the forces behind them?"
"The other kidnapper members don't know the employer behind them. The only thing they know clearly is that after receiving the mission, their leader, a guy codenamed Scorpion, has a tight mouth. He has obviously undergone some training in torture. Until now, But he didn’t say anything.”
The warden paused, and then quickly added: "But don't worry, Chief Wei, the torture experts in our prison are now using new methods to torture. The guy who enters our place, even if he is really a tough guy." A tough guy with a strong voice will inevitably turn into a bastard who talks about everything in the end."
The warden was full of confidence, but he said some outrageous terms.
"Very good, now take us there to take a look."
"yes."
The warden in charge of the place led a few people into the prison.
"This is it."
Wei Yanwu and old man Shi Huaiya, followed by some guards, were led to an iron gate with the word "torture room" written on it.
"Are your tortures silent, or are the doors here specially soundproofed?"
Old man Shi Huaiya frowned and asked.
"Of course not. The painful wails of being tortured can very well intimidate other prisoners.
However, blindly interrogating and making the person being tortured feel pain will gradually make the other person numb.
Therefore, sometimes taking a proper rest and relaxing can achieve a better torture effect.
Right now, he should be resting inside. "
The warden explained and pushed the door open first.
"How is this going?!"
Once inside, the warden was stunned.
"Is this what you call rest?"
Old man Shi Huaiya glared.
"Control him."
Wei Yanwu narrowed his eyes, and the person who followed behind him followed the order and stepped forward. He pressed the warden's hand behind him and pressed it against the wall next to him.
In the torture room, the original torture expert was seen lying on the ground with a boning knife stuck behind his back and a pool of blood underneath him. He was obviously dead.
The prisoner hanging on the torture rack was covered with whip marks and iron marks. At this time, his neck had been cut open, and his body was soaked in blood.
"already dead."
said Biao, who stepped forward to check.
"Sir Wei, I don't know. I didn't do this. I've been watching here all the time, and before you came, I was sure he was still alive."
The warden who was pressed against the wall reacted and defended loudly.
"The blood is still warm."
Mark to confirm some of the facts in what the other person said.
"Where are the other prisoners?"
Wei Yanwu asked.
"Those are important prisoners over there. I don't dare to take them lightly. They are all locked up in the innermost part of the prison."
The warden did not dare to hesitate. Although his hands were held behind his back and unable to move, he raised his feet and pointed to the other side, especially the cell inside the prison.
Wei Yanwu led the people inside, Biao walked in front to clear the way, and old man Shi Huaiya was with him.
"They are all dead. These people were all restrained and their necks were cut with one blow. Well, the blood is warm. Apparently they all died not long ago."
Stand up from the last prisoner, Biaohui reports.
"The murderer may not leave this prison. You should guard all exits."
Old man Shi Huaiya said suddenly.
"There is only one exit from the special prison, and that's where we came in."
Wei Yanwu did not hesitate and asked two of his followers to take over the entrance and exit of this special prison.
Then, he looked at the warden who was being suppressed.
"Sir Wei, I did not betray you."
"I know that you, Fatty Luo, don't have the guts. Your family and your property are all in Longmen. If you betray me, your whole family will be ruined and no one will be left intact!"
Wei Yanwu frowned, and he suddenly thought of a detail.
"When I came just now, you seemed to have come out to greet me in advance. How did you know that I was coming?"
"It was a prison guard next to me who suddenly ran in and told me that you were here, sir."
"Where is that person now?"
"He, he doesn't seem to have followed..."
The warden, Fatty Luo, had some reaction.
"That bastard is in the duty dormitory of the prison, in South Building 403."
A group of people rushed over quickly.
South Building, prison guard duty dormitory 403, was kicked away.
"It's too late..."
Biao stood beside the bed, examining the dead young prison guard on the bed.
"Poisoned, he should have committed suicide by taking poison."
"Sir, there is something here, it seems to be a suicide note."
The person who checked the room found a piece of paper in a book on the desk next to him.
"To the Warden, Warden, you have been so kind to me. You took me in when I had no relatives, no reason, no support. I should repay you, but today I see the prisoner who ruined my family, and the flame of hatred in my heart is... ignite……
Before the sentence was passed, the prison guards killed the prisoners first. I know this is against the rules, but I can't restrain myself. I feel very sorry, but I have no face to face you again.
This is a last letter written by Aliliu on December 24, 1083.
Chief Wei, this is what it says. "
The people who had written the suicide note were gathered and the contents of the suicide note were read out. Everyone in the room was silent after listening to the contents of the suicide note.
Especially Fatty Luo, who was already cursing the bad guy on the bed, showing his emotions. It was obvious that the two people actually had a pretty good relationship.
"What a trick!"
Wei Yanwu was silent for a while before speaking.
"It's really a good method. After your people take the kidnappers into this prison, they can kill all the kidnappers in just a few hours, and use a set of reasonable explanations to explain this matter. The power behind the stereotype is huge."
Old man Shi Huaiya also said.
"Sir Wei, does this mean that this is not a murder case caused by revenge?"
"There is no such coincidence in this world!"
Wei Yanwu squinted his eyes and looked at the warden.
"Fat Luo, I am now officially informing you that you have been suspended and you need to be investigated. Do you have any objections?"
"No."
"In addition, you'd better tell the story about this dead young man clearly to the people who will investigate you later."
"Yes, I will."
Wei Yanwu and others left, and some of the remaining cronies temporarily took over the prison here.
In the long car, Wei Yanwu and old man Shi Huaiya sat looking at each other, both of them somewhat silent.
Old man Shi Huaiya was the first to speak, breaking the silence: "Judging from what happened tonight, we didn't gain everything."
"I'm sorry that the clues have been broken again, but I promise that someone will find your granddaughter. Whether she is dead or alive, I will give you an explanation."
Wei Yanwu said.
"Beatrix, that is a somewhat delicate but very cute child. She is very important to me, an old man, but please don't avoid the question!
Wei Yanwu, my Lord Wei, you should know that there are not many forces that can hide under your Dragon Gate. Not even the Grand Duke Cosiche of Ursus could do such a thing.
I think, now in your mind, you should have a good idea of the forces behind it. Who doesn’t want to see a Gantry that is integrated and turned into a monolithic entity? "
"It's possible, but what can we do? Dragon Gate is, after all, the Dragon Gate of the Yan Kingdom."
"But the Emperor of Yan Kingdom doesn't seem to think so, even if he and you are brothers."
"It's just a half-brother, he is my brother, and I am just...
"According to Victoria's words...illegitimate child!"
Old Shihuaiya looked at Wei Yanwu calmly and said what the other party wanted to say.
"But you're more capable than he is."
"Yes, but because of this, he is even more suspicious."
"He has sent people to take action now, don't you want to do something about it?"
"What do you want me to do, kill the king, kill your relatives and usurp the throne?"
Wei Yanwu roared, and then gradually calmed down.
He took a deep breath and looked at the old man Shi Huaiya opposite him.
"Now, it's not to that point. When we were children, he and I had a very good relationship. Now he just does what an emperor would do, some basic precautions, that's all."
"Some basic precautions? So, does my granddaughter Beatrix have to become a victim of it?"
Old Shiyahuai leaned forward and asked Wei Yanwu.
Wei Yanwu responded with silence.
"You should know that I support you."
"Yes I know."
Wei Yanwu nodded.
The Shiyahuai family has provided huge help to Longmen's business. The fact that Longmen can develop to its current scale and even become a mobile city at the center of the world's economy is inseparable from the contribution of the Shiyahuai family.
"Longmen, I regard this place as the second hometown of the Shiyahuai family after Victoria. Many people and many families should also regard this city as their home like me, but now this city and this home , but it chills the hearts of us family members."
"No, absolutely not."
"Wei Yanwu, I, York Shi Yahuai, will never become the second Edward Atrias, and the same goes for other people.
Sixteen years ago, you personally killed your sworn brother, our common friend Edward, for the sake of justice. At that time, you poured a glass of ice water on the heads of us people.
And now, you want to pour it again, but there is no second one. Even if you are about to kill him, you still entrust your wife, your biological sister and the child in her belly to your idiot. "
"York, you old bastard, Edward is no fool."
"Oh, you're angry, you're anxious, but if he's not a fool, what is he? Don't forget how you forced your own sister to marry other Yan Kingdom nobles after his death."
"I did it to protect her, and also to protect her and Edward's posthumous child!"
Wei Yanwu had already grabbed old man Shi Huaiya by his collar, staring with bloodshot eyes.
"Then how do you explain why you compromised when Cosiche attacked for the second time and took away the child?!"
Wei Yanwu gasped and grabbed the old man's hand with blue veins popping out.
York Shiyahuai grabbed his shoulders, leaned back, and hit his head hard with the headbutt.
"Admit it, you street-beating dragon is a bastard. You will only sacrifice your friends and relatives to achieve your own goals. You are a complete cold-blooded guy."
"ah!"
Wei Yanwu was pushed back into the car seat, blood flowing from his forehead.
Biao stepped on the brakes: "We're here."
As Wei Yanwu's bodyguard, he seemed to be unaware of what happened in the back seat.
York Shihuaiya's forehead was also broken. The two of them seemed to have returned to the scene where they were sitting opposite each other. They were both silent, just breathing.
But this time, it was Wei Yanwu who broke the silence: "I will give you an explanation. Your granddaughter Beatrix Shiyahuai will definitely return to you safely."
"I don't need your guarantee, I just need your determination and statement. I can bear to lose a close relative, but I can't bear to follow an idiot. All you need to do is give us your own reply."
"If my reply does not satisfy you, will you leave Longmen?"
"What the hell are you thinking about? The city of Longmen also has the hard work of us people. When the time comes, we will get back the rewards that belong to us and deserve to be equal to our efforts.
At that time, it will be completely different from now. You will not be able to take back Longmen from the hands of people like us, and Longmen will fall into an even more centrifugal and chaotic situation than it is now.
Having said that, you'd better think it through before giving your reply! "
After Shi Yahuai finished speaking, he opened the car door and left.
Wei Yanwu was the only one left in the back seat of the car.
"York, you old bastard, do you fucking think I'm not willing to express my attitude firmly? But I'm different from you. Your Shiyahuai family has many descendants, but my old Wei family now fucking... There is only a child like Chen. After losing her mother and sister, she now only has an uncle like me to rely on, and she is only twelve years old this year..."
Wei Yanwu beat the seat cushion behind the car to vent his anger.
"Sir Wei, where should we go next? Should we go back to your home?"
The sign on the driver's seat asked after he finished venting and stopped.
"No, let's go to the Guards Bureau and let Jiu Lai see me."
