I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1259 Interrogation of Prisoners (6)

It is impossible to let it go, and if I let it go, it would be difficult to explain.

If someone is released for no reason, if there is a big fish behind it, he will definitely suspect that they know something and release them in a hurry.

Now it is like a dung beetle climbing a toilet - not far from death (shit).

It is better to die with a clear mind than to die early or late.

Sun Shan said firmly, "No matter what's behind this, go ahead and interrogate him. We're like flies caught in a spider's web—we can't get out."

Inspector Liang couldn't help but feel panicked, just thinking about his current situation. The person had been caught, and if he said he didn't know anything, no one would believe him.

Just keep going all the way to the end, like an arrow shot from a bow, there is no way to turn back.

He glanced at Sun Shan again. He was short, thin and weak. Although he was smaller than himself, his official rank was higher than his. Even if something happened, Lord Sun would take care of it.

Inspector Liang said solemnly, "Yes, sir, I will continue the interrogation."

After saying this, he strode out of the door and headed towards the cell with an attitude of "The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold, the hero will never return once he leaves."

Sun Shan acted calm and composed on the surface, but he was actually very panicked.

For a moment, I thought that I was probably not the male protagonist, so there would be no such thing as leveling up and fighting monsters with 81 difficulties.

After a while, I thought that even if I was not the male lead, I was still the number one male supporting role. After all, eating crucian carp could cause poisoning, and I always came in last in scientific examinations. Such strange anecdotes could happen, and I was destined to be extraordinary.

The male protagonist is okay, he has a bit of a hardship, but in the end he has a happy ending with the female protagonist.

If the number one male supporting role not only watches the female lead he loves and the male lead fall in love with each other, he will often turn evil in the later stages and finally get a bad ending.

Sun Shan's head was buzzing and he couldn't help but think wildly.

I didn't fall asleep until dawn.

I just closed my eyes, why do I have to open them?

Gui Ge'er ran out in a hurry, checked with his fingers, and found that Sun Shan was still breathing. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

I knocked on the door and shouted for a long time, but there was no response.

Gui Ge'er didn't care about anything. He pushed the door open with force and hurriedly took a breath.

Gui Ge'er shook Sun Shan and called out, "Brother Shan, get up quickly! Inspector Liang is here."

In the past, Shan Ge was strict with him and himself. He went to work on time and never late.

I slept until noon today. It must be because I thought too hard last night, causing my brain to lack oxygen and I couldn't get up.

Gui Ge'er originally wanted to let Sun Shan sleep until he woke up naturally, but Inspector Liang came to look for him and it seemed that he had something urgent to do, so he had to get up.

Sun Shan was shaken vigorously by Gui Ge'er and finally woke up from his drowsy dream.

After that, he quickly got up, washed, and ran to the meeting room without even eating.

Inspector Liang saw that Sun Shan's eyes were red and swollen, and he understood. After all, he hadn't slept all night.

They thought they could hand the thief over to their younger brothers for interrogation, but they found that the situation was beyond their imagination and they had to interrogate him personally.

This went back and forth for Inspector Liang for a whole day, night and one morning.

Only he and Lord Sun knew the pain involved.

I already had dark circles under my eyes, and after a night of worry, they became even darker.

Sun Shan yawned quietly and asked, "Inspector Liang, how did the interrogation go?"

Inspector Liang whispered, "Sir Sun, the thief is still holding on, but the interrogation will continue without interruption. I think the thief is about to collapse, so we will continue tonight and guarantee a true confession."

Then he continued, "Sir, the third method is still effective. It seems that the thieves are almost losing their minds because of us. Before, one thief plucked his hair, and another smeared honey on him. They still looked very arrogant, but after the third method, hehe, they are becoming more and more unbearable."

The first and second methods will bring pain, and the thief will think that he cannot hold on, but in the end he still holds on.

The third method is painless and is the most effective.

What is the principle behind this?

Especially since Lord Sun arranged for the lights to be on and off at times, alternating between on and off, this made the thieves heartbroken and almost collapsed.

Oh, could it be that the third method really can attract the "Pen Fairy" or "Lamp Fairy" and make the thief so scared?

After hearing this, Sun Shan nodded and said, "Inspector Liang, thank you for your hard work. We must get the truth out of these thieves. Haha, until we know the truth, I won't be at peace."

Inspector Liang was also worried. He and Lord Sun were now in the same boat, sharing a common destiny. He also hoped to find out who these thieves were as soon as possible.

Oh, it’s such a great Lantern Festival, everyone is happy, joyful and reunited, why do three thieves suddenly appear at the end?

Inspector Liang was thinking about the next holiday and suggested that Lord Sun go into the city to check the household registration.

Anyone who is not a registered resident of Yuanlu will be refused entry into the city, so that no further trouble will occur.

If Sun Shan knew about Inspector Liang's suggestion, he would definitely agree with it.

Don't tell him about increasing Yuanlu's GDP. For Sun Shan, peace and stability are the most important things.

Inspector Liang continued to interrogate the prisoner happily, and Sun Shan called in Master Zhang and Nanny Wang.

Sun Shan asked, "Madam Wang, what are the rumors?"

Nanny Wang understood immediately and knew that Sun Shan was asking about the rumors about thieves during the Lantern Festival.

He immediately said, "Master, outsiders say that the three thieves are human traffickers. They entered the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month with the intention of stealing the young man and the young girl. Fortunately, the city gates were tightly guarded, which frightened the thieves and caused them to reveal their weapons, thus revealing their identities. Master, the people outside say that you are a prophet and a wise and brave man."

Sun Shan and Young Master Zhang glanced at each other secretly, each noticing the other's pride.

It was Master Zhang who suggested that the people believe that the three thieves were human traffickers.

After all, human traffickers are ubiquitous, and every street and village has its own legends about them.

Haha, charging the three thieves with such crimes will not cause unnecessary speculation.

If the three subsequent thieves have new crimes that can be made public, just post another notice and let the public know.

These half-true and half-false rumors can be used to advance or retreat.

Nanny Wang continued, "Master, there are rumors out there that several officials have died in the yamen, and that many pimps and prostitutes could not be rescued... There are all kinds of rumors out there. I've heard them all, and I think what they say is too outrageous."

Then he added: "Those people asked me if it was true, sir, I didn't say anything, just let them guess."

Nanny Wang always listens to gossip but never spreads it.

Hehe, this is the only way to pick yourself out.

Sun Shan praised her, "Well done, Ma'am. Thank you for your hard work. Keep an eye on it and report back to me if you have any news."

Nanny Wang immediately accepted the order: "Yes, Master, I will do my best to find out the information so that I can work for you."

Every day before dinner, Nanny Wang would report to Sun Shan all the gossip in Yuanlu County.

Talk about whatever you hear.

Although Nanny Wang didn't understand, she still did her job resignedly.

Become Sun Shan's loyal right-hand man and serve Sun Shan faithfully.
