Chapter 1149: Chapter 327: Overbearing! I Am the Rules! (Part 3)
The middle-aged man answered honestly, “Wang Ping…”
Fang Ze nodded, then said, “Alright. I’ll ask you this question again shortly. But you can’t say your name is Wang Ping; you have to say it’s Lin Ping. Do you understand?”
“Huh?” The middle-aged man clearly didn’t understand why Fang Ze wanted to do this for a moment.
However, the experienced Black Shark and some commissioners present immediately understood Fang Ze’s intention: the method of lie detection by contradiction.
This method of lie detection is a very useful technique for interrogating suspects in this world.
First, have the suspect lie to test if they possess any extraordinary artifacts or law prohibitions against lie detection, then ask the questions you actually want to know the answers to, obtaining a certain degree of correct information through two questions.
This interrogation method can perfectly ensure the effectiveness of lie detection artifacts. The only issue is its high consumption: mind category artifacts in this world are very precious, and lie detection ones are mostly single-use, so unless it’s an important case and there are few suspects, each investigative department rarely uses this lie detection method.
As everyone was pondering this, Fang Ze also voiced his question.
“What is your name?”
The middle-aged man reflexively said, “Wang, Wang Ping.”
Fang Ze looked at him seriously, “Wrong! That’s not your name! Think again, what is your name?”
The middle-aged man finally remembered Fang Ze’s earlier request and hurriedly stammered, “Lin… Lin Ping.”
As he spoke those words, Fang Ze nodded towards the commissioner beside him and said, “He’s carrying a lie detection countermeasure artifact. Search him.”
“Yes!” Upon hearing Fang Ze’s command, several commissioners stepped forward to search the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man realized what Fang Ze was doing and couldn’t help but struggle while yelling, “You’re breaking the law! I’m going to sue you!”
But he was no match for several commissioners. Before long, a small law prohibition artifact he was carrying was found by the commissioners.
Tossing that law prohibition artifact aside, Fang Ze tested again, “What is your name?!”
This time the middle-aged man remained silent.
Fang Ze wasn’t annoyed, directly asking, “Were you involved in the missing train case?”
The middle-aged man still kept silent.
But given the world as it was, his silence was already the best answer.
So, after a moment, the middle-aged man, having fully understood, no longer pretended. He glared at Fang Ze, his voice squeezing through his teeth, “You traitor splitting the Human Race!”
“Everything I did was for the Human Race! I have no regrets!”
Saying this, he bit down as if trying to crush the poison in his mouth!
But at that critical moment, with a crisp “slap!”, before he could react, Fang Ze’s palm had already slapped across his face.
With Fang Ze’s current strength, it was unsurprising that the man was instantly knocked unconscious.
Witnessing this, Fang Ze coldly indicated to several commissioners, “Check his mouth.”
Although the middle-aged man’s earlier shout had shocked those present, that shock lasted less than a second before Fang Ze’s slap cleared it away.
Thus, after hesitating for a split second, the commissioners quickly moved forward to check the man’s mouth. Soon, the poison was removed.
At this point, a Security Bureau commissioner and a black-clothed officer from the Special Service Department rushed in from outside.
Upon arriving, they first saluted Fang Ze and Chairperson Liu, then proceeded to report to Black Shark and the East State’s Security Bureau director, “Minister (Director), there are traces of editing in the surveillance footage from when the train arrived two days ago.”
“Following your instructions, we screened the footage from before and after and identified two suspicious individuals. However, after entering their faces into the Federal Identity Database, we couldn’t trace their identities. We suspect they used false appearances.”
Finishing, the two handed video screenshots over to Black Shark and the director of the East State’s Security Bureau.
After Black Shark and the director examined them, they handed the materials to Fang Ze and Chairperson Liu.
Fang Ze glanced at the materials. The documents indeed contained enlarged video screenshots of the two suspicious individuals, appearing as two unremarkable people.
Engaging in such dangerous activities indeed made the use of false appearances highly likely, making the commissioners’ speculations quite reasonable.
Thinking this, Fang Ze returned the photos to Black Shark and instructed, “Make a copy of the video, then bring him along…” With that, Fang Ze pointed at the still-unconscious middle-aged man and said, “We’ll head directly to the Central State.”
Hearing Fang Ze’s words, the director of the East State’s Security Bureau was visibly taken aback. He cautiously glanced at Chairperson Liu, and seeing that Chairperson Liu remained silent, he proactively said, “Chairperson Fang, this doesn’t seem to comply with regulations. This case happened within our jurisdiction; the suspect should be interrogated and held by us.”
Upon hearing the director’s words, Fang Ze coldly glanced at him and said contemptuously, “Regulations? I am the regulation!”
Saying this, Fang Ze directly told Black Shark, “Take him away!”
This time, Black Shark firmly stood on the same side as Fang Ze, so upon hearing the command, he signaled, and immediately several black-clothed officers from the Special Service Department pushed past the commissioners of the East State’s Security Bureau and lifted the middle-aged man.
At this moment, Fang Ze also turned to Chairperson Liu and said, “Chairperson Liu, the case is solved now, but the train won’t return for a while.”
“I know you have prepared two plans: one to clear a commuter train for my exclusive use, and the other to deploy a large number of medium-sized vehicles to escort me.”
Seeing Chairperson Liu nod, Fang Ze shook his head and said, “The former disrupts the public, and the latter is a waste of resources.”
“Since someone doesn’t want me to reach the Central State, I will go there my own way.”
“Your own way?” Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Chairperson Liu instinctively felt a sense of unease.
However, Fang Ze gave him no chance.
He tossed a bracelet in his hand to the ground, and moments later, a massive demigod-level Bone Dragon soaring to the heavens, exuding a terrifying demigod aura, took to the sky!
Fang Ze stood atop the dragon’s back, the middle-aged man at his feet, commanding perhaps the human world’s most formidable combat power, flying towards the Central State!
The demigod aura swept over the entire East State’s provincial government as countless people looked up in horror at the terrifying colossal beast.
At this moment, Chairperson Liu, who was too late to react on the platform, was also panic-stricken.
He angrily stomped his foot, watching Fang Ze’s departing figure, muttering repeatedly under his breath, “This, this, this… something’s really going to happen!”
