As the boss of the Inspection Department, Xia Pingan could come to the Inspection Department at any time he wanted. He avoided the morning rush hour in Shangjing City and took a rental carriage to the Inspection Department at around ten in the morning.
"It's our honor to be able to serve Sir!"
The honest looking coachman of the rental carriage opened the door for Xia Pingan. He didn't take Xia Pingan's money, but instead, he bowed to Xia Pingan and drove the carriage away.
This made Xia Pingan stunned for a while before he put away the money with a bitter smile.
The ability of the carriage company wasn't small. Xia Pingan originally thought that this carriage was casually called by him on the road. It seemed that the carriage company had arranged for it to wait for him on the street outside the alley. Yesterday, he left without saying goodbye in the gorgeous rental carriage. The carriage company probably thought that he didn't like to be too ostentatious, so today, they arranged a relatively ordinary rental carriage for him.
This was also the carriage company's intention, so Xia Pingan couldn't say anything.
The entire Shangjing City was shrouded in a sluggish drizzle, and the streets were foggy.
The slightly cold air made Xia Pingan have the idea of buying a carriage. In Shangjing City, it wasn't very convenient to not have a carriage. If he always took a rental carriage, his whereabouts would be exposed and he wouldn't be able to take care of his privacy. However, if he wanted to buy a carriage, hiring a coachman was also a problem. If the coachman wasn't reliable, there would be a lot of trouble.
When he walked to the Inspection Department's entrance, Xia Pingan secretly sighed. Let's take it slow.
"Sir, you're here …"
Seeing Xia Pingan enter the Inspection Department's entrance with an umbrella, Luo Laoyao ran out from the gatehouse with his dog and greeted Xia Pingan with a bow.
Luo Laoyao's dog also crazily wagged its tail at Xia Pingan. It was quite interesting.
"Is Hua Ziqin back?" Xia Pingan asked in passing.
"She's already back. She came back before dawn today. Other than the people on duty, she's the first to arrive at the Inspection Department!"
"Okay, got it!" Xia Pingan nodded and walked toward the building of the Inspection Department.
From the looks of it, Hua Ziqin had been busy the entire night.
After entering the Inspection Department, all the staff and summoners who saw Xia Pingan stood on one side of the aisle, made way for him, and saluted to Xia Pingan.
When he arrived outside his office, Wei Meiyu quickly greeted him and took Xia Pingan's umbrella.
Hua Ziqin, who had been waiting outside the office, also stood up. "Sir …"
"Did you get it?" Xia Pingan asked directly.
"Yes, we have. A few of the victims have moved. It took some time to find those people again!"
"Good, thank you for your hard work. Let's talk inside the office!" Xia Pingan opened the office door and walked in, followed by Hua Ziqin.
"Sir, this is the hair of those women …" As soon as they entered the office, Hua Ziqin opened a bag in her hand and placed a lock of hair tied with a rope on Xia Pingan's desk.
It was a total of nine locks of hair cut with scissors. The longest was more than three feet long, and the shortest was less than a foot long. Some of the hair even had the faint fragrance of women.
"Some of the victims didn't report the assault because of fear and various reasons. In fact, we estimate that the number of victims is more, maybe dozens of people. That trash really deserves to die …" Hua Ziqin said with some hatred. As a woman, she deeply detested that kind of man.
"Yes, don't worry. We'll know soon if it's that guy who committed the crime!"
"That guy has been unable to be convicted, and we can't find any stronger evidence. We're also worried that we might have caught the wrong person. Sir, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, of course!" Xia Pingan said as he waved his hand and summoned the Black Dragon.
Summoning technique?
Hua Ziqin glanced at Xia Pingan doubtfully. Summoners who could summon dogs weren't rare. Most of the dogs summoned by summoners were similar to ordinary dogs. She didn't know what this dog summoned by the inspector could do.
"Black Dragon, I'll leave it to you …" Xia Pingan stroked the Black Dragon's head and pointed to the hair on the table. The Black Dragon wagged its tail and jumped nimbly onto the table. It sniffed the hair and barked twice at Xia Pingan before jumping down from the table.
"Let's go and take a look at the dungeon …" Xia Pingan said to Hua Ziqin. He opened the door and led the Black Dragon in the direction of the Inspection Department's dungeon. Hua Ziqin also followed Xia Pingan.
After going down two floors, they finally arrived at the internal guard duty room outside the dungeon. When Qi Dafeng saw Xia Pingan appear, he hurriedly tidied his clothes and came out to greet him.
"Go to the interrogation room and bring the person from cell 11 here!" Xia Pingan said to Qi Dafeng.
"Yes!"
Qi Dafeng glanced at the Black Dragon that followed Xia Pingan and led Xia Pingan and Hua Ziqin to the interrogation room. He also arranged for his subordinates to bring the person from cell 11 here.
The interrogation room was a room of less than 30 square meters. There was a metal chair fixed to the ground in the room.
Xia Pingan and Hua Ziqin had just sat down in the interrogation room when the summoner from cell 11 that they saw yesterday was brought in.
An internal guard opened the metal chair in the interrogation room and stuffed that guy into the chair to sit down. Then, he locked the chair and left the interrogation room.
Only Xia Pingan and Hua Ziqin were in the interrogation room.
"Sir, I've been wronged. I've already said everything that needs to be said. I'm really not the rapist you're looking for. This is all a misunderstanding …" That guy had probably been interrogated more than once as he began to complain as soon as he sat down.
"We'll know whether you've committed a crime or not very soon!" Xia Pingan said as he pointed at that person. The Black Dragon, who had been sitting obediently beside Xia Pingan, rushed toward that person.
Seeing the Black Dragon rushing over, that person cried out in fright, "Don't bite me … Don't bite me …"
The Black Dragon naturally wouldn't bite him. Instead, it circled around him twice and sniffed around him. Then, the Black Dragon ran back to Xia Pingan and barked a few times at Xia Pingan. It even raised its claws twice.
Xia Pingan gently stroked the Black Dragon's head and narrowed his eyes as he coldly looked at that person.
Seeing Xia Pingan's gaze, that person's eyes flickered and he felt guilty. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and forced a smile, "Sir … I really didn't commit a crime. Can you let me go?"
"I'll give you one last chance. If you tell me who the other person who committed the crime with you is, I can spare your life and let you leave this interrogation room alive!"
Upon hearing Xia Pingan's words, that person's and Hua Ziqin's expressions changed at the same time.
That person's expression was obviously flustered, but he still forced a smile in the end, "Sir … I'm really innocent. I really don't know what you're talking about."
Xia Pingan said softly, "You were caught by us, but you didn't tell us who that person was. First, you felt that we didn't have any direct evidence to convict you, so you wanted to get lucky. Second, you felt that as long as you could get through this, that person would definitely reward you greatly once you got out of here. It seems that that person has some status, so you're willing to risk your life to protect him. You even hoped that that person could get you out of here. Do you think I'm right?"
The person in the iron chair started to turn a little pale, but he still gritted his teeth, "Sir … I'm really innocent. If you want to beat me into a confession, I'm afraid you'll get yourself into trouble …"
Xia Pingan shook his head, "Unfortunately, you didn't take the last chance I gave you!" Xia Pingan pulled on the rope bell beside him, and Qi Dafeng immediately opened the door and entered the interrogation room.
Xia Pingan directly asked Qi Dafeng, "If you want to kill someone in the dungeon, how do you usually do it?"
Facing such a question, Qi Dafeng was shocked at first, but when he looked into Xia Pingan's eyes, he still honestly told him the darkest unspoken rules in the dungeon. Qi Dafeng didn't dare to say that he didn't know. If he did, then he would be treating the inspector as a fool.
"There are several ways. The first way is to lock the person you want to kill with other dangerous prisoners and hint to the other prisoners to kill him. The second way is to add something to his food to make him sick and die. If he doesn't have a backer, you can also poison him to death. Then, you can report that the prisoner is seriously ill and quickly dispose of the body through special procedures. You can quickly cremate him without the need for an autopsy. The third way is to make him commit suicide. You can use the sheets in the cell to hang yourself, there is water in the toilet, you can put your head into it and drown yourself. There are also some ways to hit the wall and slit your wrist …"
"Prepare a report. The prisoner in cell 11 committed suicide today. He put his head in the toilet and drowned himself!" Xia Pingan said to Qi Dafeng. As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed at the prisoner on the iron chair. An azure water ball appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the prisoner's head.
The prisoner in the iron chair had his head wrapped in the water. He couldn't breathe at all, and could only struggle in vain. He couldn't even scream. When he opened his mouth, he gulped down a lot of water. He wanted to use his hands to grab the water that wrapped around his head, but because his hands were shackled, they were locked in the gap of the iron chair, and he couldn't move at all.
"Huala … Huala …" That person struggled, the shackles on his hands and feet rubbing against the iron chair and the ground, swinging back and forth, but it was useless. Because no matter how he moved, the water that wrapped around his head remained motionless, soaking his head inside.
Hua Ziqin and Qi Dafeng watched from the interrogation room. They watched as the prisoner's face became paler and paler in the water ball. His strength to struggle became weaker and weaker, and the metal shackles on his hands and feet gradually quieted down.
Five or six minutes later, the man stopped moving. His body was limp and shackled to the chair. His head and hair floated in the water ball. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he was no longer breathing.
The man's head was like a specimen soaked in formalin solution.
"Huala …" The water ball that wrapped around his head fell and splashed on his body.
Qi Dafeng suppressed the fear in his heart and walked forward. He felt the artery and heartbeat on the man's neck. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he reported to Xia Pingan, "Sir … The suspect in cell 11 … committed suicide … drowned himself!"
