Chapter 77 The Difficulty of Distinguishing Reality from Illusion
This terrifying killing intent startled the birds roosting in the forest, causing them to take flight in unison, their cries filling the air as their feathers crisscrossed like a woven tapestry.
Ye Qinghan's hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
A few drops of sweat also seeped from Ye Feng's forehead.
However, Pei Xuan did not kill Wang Qing. His control over his divine sense was superb; he could stop Wang Qing at such close range and control it at will.
Wang Qing acted as if nothing had happened, simply smiling at Pei Xuan with the smug Gatsby-like expression, his divine sense arrows pressing against his forehead, threatening to burst his head, yet he didn't even blink.
Ye Feng took a deep breath. This guy was indeed fearless, like a newborn calf. Did he not know he had just been on the verge of death?
"According to the Security Council's laws, when agents collect intelligence from ordinary citizens with whom they have no direct connection, they are required to use body cameras to prevent the killing of innocent people and the false claim of credit. I will file a complaint."
Ye Qinghan was truly enraged; her icy blue eyes were like a plunge into an abyss, but due to her identity as an agent, she managed to hold back her anger.
Pei Xuan smiled helplessly, and the indicator light on the recorder module next to his eye flashed a few times before starting it.
"Wang Qing said he would fully cooperate with the investigation. He hasn't lost a single hair, has he? Although it's an extremely low probability event, even now, there are still people who know the art of possession, which has caused great obstacles to our work."
Pei Xuan's tactic had always worked.
It only works on Qi Refining Realm cultivators who haven't developed spiritual consciousness. Anyone above Foundation Establishment Realm will definitely react to it, but so far it has only ruled out the possibility of possession.
"I'm a little thirsty, but never mind."
Pei Xuan pointed at Ye Qinghan. Since they weren't even offered a seat, he suggested they quickly proceed with the process. Although the implanted module had an automatic recording and backup function, he would record important clues in a notebook.
My experience investigating cases in makeshift hospitals has taught me that the more sophisticated something is, the more prone it is to making mistakes; sometimes, the most primitive methods can be surprisingly effective.
"What is your relationship with Fu Jun?"
"We were just ordinary classmates, we never exchanged a single word."
"Um----
That's true; at least there's not a single online record obtained from the operator.
Have you heard that Fu Jun is illegally working part-time at an underground fighting arena controlled by a gang?
"My relationship with my classmate Liu Ziwen is okay. He likes to keep up with what his classmates are up to, and I've heard about it from him."
"When did you tell you?"
"I found out about ten days ago."
"You also borrowed money from money shops controlled by gangs. Before that—before you participated in the Virtual Realm Competition organized by the Mercury Group—I want to ask, before that, without relying on Ms. Ye Qinghan's protection, how did you deal with the gang's debt collectors? Note! Don't hide anything! This question is crucial."
Pei Xuan's expression was sinister as he exerted pressure on Wang Qing.
This is one of the key points of this interrogation. According to the account books found in the bank, Wang Qing borrowed 714 high-interest loans, and he was able to delay payment for more than a month.
Can an ordinary student deal with gang members?
Wang Qing appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was quickly considering his words. He was an ordinary citizen, and the law was effective against him, even if it meant killing a gang member.
There's a big problem.
But it's okay, Sister D, I have a small, round face, I never thought it would come in handy.
The thought process took less than two seconds.
"I earn some extra money online by playing one-on-one with top players in the virtual world. These are called 'red envelope games,' and I use that money to pay off debt collectors and temporarily delay payment."
Wang Qing replied.
If it weren't for Sister D, we really would have gone on a killing spree today.
"I have my doubts. I need to see the transaction history. Is that alright?"
Pei Xuan reached out to check Wang Qing's phone. A red envelope game? Could the money earned from the game cover the losses from such unlimited exploitation by the gang?
"sure."
Wang Qing currently has two mobile phones.
Dual identity, dual SIM dual standby, two mobile phones are quite normal.
One was a new phone Qin Fei bought for him, a LingPhone26PR0, to be used as his college student ID.
For older phones with cracked screens, Planck's solution is specifically designed for this purpose.
He handed the new phone to Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan opened Feixin without any hesitation, but there weren't many people he could contact.
Who is it?
"DOKIX2."
'
'
Pei Xuan paused for a moment and added, "Your IDs are similar, are they couple usernames?"
"No, we've never met."
"You said it yourself."
Pei Xuan had plenty of ways to verify the information. Apart from some trendy ways of speaking among young people, there was nothing wrong with the money transfers in the chat history. It was indeed a frequent transfer, with each transfer being a thousand yuan. The total winnings and losses amounted to over ten thousand yuan, which could indeed delay the repayment date.
In order to put pressure on Wang Qing, Pei Xuan also turned on the speakerphone and called the Cangzhou coordinating investigation department.
"Help me find a Feihao account number, and also check all the online accounts of the registrant, especially the account for the game Virtual World."
Pei Xuan read out Ling Lan's number. He instinctively felt that something was wrong with Wang Qing. This was his biggest flaw; everything else made sense.
The investigation on the other end of the phone was very quick.
[This...is in trouble. The number's registrant is a confidential person, and I have no authority to access the files.]
"What?"
Pei Xuan's eyes narrowed.
As a newcomer, Guan Xiaolan is carefully observing and learning. However, even someone as experienced as Detective Pei Xuan, who has dealt with the demonic path for decades, is surprised. Is this a very unexpected situation?
"Wait a minute."
Pei Xuan rummaged through his notebook. "Call this number, and the person on the other end will tell you my dynamic access code. After you enter it, you will temporarily have special permissions."
He had rarely encountered this situation in his detective career, and after calling the Cangzhou branch where he worked, he...
It took a few minutes.
The holder's information was only revealed on the other end of the phone.
Ling Lan, 36 years old, is a private first class in the anti-terrorism mobile group of the Leizhou anti-terrorism force, and has been serving for six years.
Most commonly used online social media accounts are registered with real names. Based on your needs, we'll focus on the game "Virtual World." His account has been registered for fifteen years, and he holds the "Virtual World Grandmaster" rank in both the last and current seasons.
What is meant by a Grand Master of the Virtual Realm?
Pei Xuan was a little confused; he didn't know much about video games.
[It's a ranked ladder competition, the top 1000 players on the server.]
"Received, thank you for your hard work."
Pei Xuan hung up the phone and stared coldly at Wang Qing, without revealing a single flaw.
Mercury Group specializes in manufacturing and remotely controlling battle armor, so how could they not know about the Void Realm Grandmaster?
Let alone Pei Xuan's opinion that Wang Qing has a problem.
Ye Feng was starting to think that Wang Qing was a bit strange. Even though it was just a game, this was too intense!
He returned the phone to Wang Qing.
Wang Qing remains a figure of dramatic sunsets, promoting positive energy, with the face of a remarkable Gatsby.
"Since you and Fu Jun are both borrowers, haven't you thought about getting through this together?"
"Before that, I only heard Liu Ziwen mention that he was involved in underground fighting; I didn't know he also borrowed 7 from the Spider Gang."
14 anti-aircraft guns.
Where were you on the day of the terrorist attack?
"I'm right here."
"Right there?"
"That's right, the Spider Gang made me sign a trial contract with Renxin Pharmaceutical Company, and then I had to fight in the ring."
"So, did you get it?"
"I hit him."
Wang Qing said this.
Ye Qinghan was taken aback. "Didn't you say you didn't call? Were you lying just now?" But she remained calm and composed.
Wang Qing sensed that the situation was tricky. At this point, it didn't matter if the identity of the Wolf King was exposed, since the Wolf King and Planck did not overlap.
"What were you doing when Fu Jun carried out the terrorist attack?"
"I just finished one round and am leaving the game."
You don't have a single injury on you.
"Because I'm very strong."
"Then what."
"I'm still alive, Detective. You ran fast."
Wang Qing was righteous and awe-inspiring.
Pei Xuan remained silent; based on what he currently possessed, it was indeed impeccable.
Ye Qinghan realized that something was wrong.
"Any other questions?"
Ye Qinghan has given him the order to leave.
Pei Xuan remained silent for a long time, but there was really nothing left to ask. Ye Qinghan's backing was not only the Mercury Group, but her family also had connections in the Heavenly Court. Compared to the local inhabitants of Cangzhou, her influence was far greater.
"There are no problems. Remember what I said: you are not allowed to leave Graycore City for a month. You will also be summoned at any time during this period. Agent Guan Xiaolan, remember his number."
After Pei Xuan finished speaking, he didn't say a word. He took a few steps in the air and returned to the hovercar that was stopped in the sky.
Guan Xiaolan honestly left a backup of Wang Qing's number.
"Thank you for cooperating with the investigation."
Guan Xiaolan used the same training method, maintaining a friendly attitude, and returned to her car after completing the procedures.
They still had a lot to do. The shuttle-like hovercar launched itself and disappeared in an instant.
After confirming that the two had gone far away.
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Qing, you don't play by the rules! You even changed your mind halfway through.
Wang Qing seemed to be deep in thought. He needed to expand his influence as soon as possible. Killing the agents of the Investigation Bureau was troublesome. He also needed to make contact with the local demonic organizations as soon as possible. He needed to find the most ruthless demonic forces to deal with these agents.
"Extend your palm."
Ye Qinghan frowned, and a ruler-shaped piece of ice instantly condensed in his hand.
"Feel sorry?"
Wang Qing was puzzled.
"Of course, I'll punish you physically, by hitting your palm."
Not only did the private first class of the anti-terrorism force, a virtual world master, earn extra money, but he also recanted his testimony at the last minute, all of which made Ye Qinghan very angry. Who knows how much he was hiding from her?
"Seriously, girl?"
Wang Qing's tactical black face, do you really want to play like this?
