On the Seven Towers

In the interrogation room, Peng Ziyi threw a land deed and two account books in front of Chu Ying.

"Look, our search has yielded results. Your small building in Frollo Town has been found. I have also checked the handwriting on the account books. These are irrefutable evidence. What else do you have to say?"

Chu Ying was shocked, staring at the things on the table, not knowing what to do. He suddenly pounced over and tried to snatch the land deed, but a small shield appeared on the land deed and bounced his hand away.

Chu Ying broke his finger and cried out in pain.

"It's very ungentle to do this." Peng Ziyi said, "You are really creative to destroy evidence in front of me."

"This is impossible. How could you find this land deed! It was clearly, clearly hidden in the school..." Chu Ying suddenly pursed his lips.

Peng Ziyi heard something wrong from here. It was clearly hidden in the sofa in the dormitory, but he heard Chu Ying, what was "xiao"? Is it the word school? There are many places with the word "school" on them, from the school library to the principal's office.

Peng Ziyi asked, "Tell me the truth, where did you hide these things?"

"Where you found them, they are naturally hidden there. Aren't you asking nonsense?" Chu Ying sneered.

"This was found in your dormitory. But I think your surprise is real. If you hid this deed somewhere else, and someone moved it to your room, then I think that person must have no good intentions." Peng Ziyi analyzed for him, "Don't you want to find out the person who made trouble?"

Chu Ying simply lowered his head and uttered a muffled voice: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am innocent and I am wronged!"

Just when Peng Ziyi was about to continue to ask, there was a knock on the door. Li Mingde, the head of the education group, and Mo Lanxin, the head of the personnel group, were outside the door.

"Mr. Li, Team Leader Mo, what's this?"

Professor Li Mingde said slowly: "Xiao Peng. The committee learned that Team Leader Chu was involved in a major case, so an executive committee meeting was held temporarily. At the meeting, several of us on duty executive committee members discussed that we should be cautious about this case involving our internal affairs and the high-level of the committee. So we were assigned to participate in the interrogation throughout the whole process."

Mo Lanxin said: "Xiao Peng, although this matter came a little urgent, it is indeed a practice that everyone agrees with. Don't have any ideas. This case is too sensitive and will definitely have an impact on many things in the future. Let us come to stand on the platform, which is actually a protection for you."

"I understand." Peng Ziyi smiled heartily and said: "Since the committee has made a decision, we will cooperate with it. You two came at the right time. We just found new evidence. The case of Chu Ying has made a great breakthrough."

Before taking them into the interrogation room, Peng Ziyi first introduced the basic facts of the case to them, and also informed the two team leaders of Milda's findings. In this way, the two had a preconceived impression before entering the interrogation room.

As a result, Li Mingde gave Chu Ying two titles as soon as he entered the interrogation room: "Big rat, woodworm! You have brought shame to the people's teachers."

"Mr. Li, we won't curse before we convict." Peng Ziyi said behind him.

"Yes, Team Leader Li. I think it's better for us to give the initiative to Xiao Peng." Mo Lanxin also said.

Li Mingde and Mo Lanxin sat down on the left and right of Peng Ziyi and listened to him continue to interrogate, but it didn't have much impact on Chu Ying.

He only held on to one thing, ignoring the evidence and refusing to plead guilty. As Milda and others checked the documents next door, Zhang Cunliang questioned the witnesses based on the new evidence and found that more and more evidence was sent here, and the chain of evidence became more and more complete. But no matter how Peng Ziyi presented the facts and reasoned, Chu Ying refused to plead guilty.

Time passed quickly, and the light of the lighting crystals lit up in the corridor unconsciously.

The three people involved in the interrogation temporarily went to the conference room to rest and eat. Mo Lanxin asked, "Xiao Peng, I think the evidence is sufficient, should it be enough for the temporary court to convict him?"

"Even so, I still hope to get him to speak. The current evidence points to him alone, and there is no information about his accomplices." Peng Ziyi said.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"If it were in the original world, we might only be able to rely on various psychological offensives and tricks. But here, we have another choice, which is magic. I have learned the soul bridge magic that Xiao Chen taught us. Through this magic, I can observe the memories in Chu Ying's mind, and I can also share these effects with you." Peng Ziyi's eyes went back and forth between Li Mingde and Mo Lanxin, and he saw their reactions. Speaking of magic, both of them seemed a little hesitant, but Li Mingde's expression soon became firm, while Mo Lanxin was always wavering.

"Chu Ying must have accomplices. If we can't find them, the school will never have peace. I agree to use this method. The committee said earlier that as long as the three of us agree, we can do it at our convenience." Because he really hated such a scoundrel, the old professor seemed very decisive at this time.

Mo Lanxin said: "But... this has opened a precedent. Can you use magic to pry open a person's head when you encounter this situation in the future?"

Peng Ziyi said seriously: "Teacher Mo, this is a magical world. The power of magic will always be used in various places. Instead of letting some people use it secretly, it is better for us to start using it in a standardized way. This may bring better reference value to future generations."

"Yes. Team Leader Mo, I, an old man, still know how to keep up with the times. You should really have fewer concerns."

"Okay then." Mo Lanxin finally compromised.

Back in the interrogation room, Peng Ziyi said to Chu Ying: "Now we have decided to use magic on you. I am giving you one last chance. You still have time to confess where you originally placed the files and who are your accomplices."

Chu Ying's face turned pale, but he finally shook his head and said: "I refuse."

"Then it's not my fault." Peng Ziyi called two helpers to fix Chu Ying, and then began to cast magic. While casting the spell, he continued to interrogate him, forcing him to remember the relevant pictures. Chu Ying's mental power is much stronger than Baron Goya, and the pictures he sees are more complete. However, when Peng Ziyi pieced together the pieces of the image, he was stunned by the image displayed.

"Chairman Guo!" Li Mingde and Mo Lanxin, who shared the image on both sides, exclaimed in unison.
