Interrogation Room 2, where Paladin is being interrogated.

Paladin himself was a clever and clever man, and after becoming the steward of the caravan of the executive mansion, he spent all day wandering in trade and wine banquets, and he had seen all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

If it weren't for his wife and children being arrested together, he wouldn't have frowned on this kind of interrogation scene now.

During the interrogation, he was as smart as ever, and he had already seen through all kinds of heart-attacking techniques.

For example, the presiding judge just asked a few questions - whether he was in awe of the civil affairs officer of Chino, when did he have a drastic change in personality...

Paladin knew very well that the chief judge had already grasped the answers to these questions, and the reason why he still asked was a typical "virtual and real go hand in hand".

Attack with reality first, and ask you questions that you know the answer to.

If you're silent, or deliberately answer the wrong answer, they'll pick it out and write a warning on the file, giving you the image of "I know everything, don't mess with me" and make you panic.

When your defenses are almost attacked, they will quietly "go from real to virtual", shift the direction of interrogation to questions they don't know the answer, and extract the answers from your mouth.

The chief judge in the No. 2 interrogation room is obviously very experienced in interrogation, not only advancing both fiction and reality, but also intertwining fiction and reality, interspersing virtual questions and real questions back and forth, not giving you any chance to find out the rules, and even the same question will be asked many times at different times before and after, looking for inconsistencies in confessions.

If you want to change to other inexperienced suspects, it won't be long before your mind is confused and you can't hold back.

But Paladin knew this very well, and was extremely tactful, and he had already thought in his mind which questions would be answered truthfully and which would not be said to death.

For example, the upheaval of Chino's personality seems to be confidential, but if you actually think about it, there are more people who know about it, and you can find out the clues by comparing the archives and records a little, or asking the original residents of Xilin Town.

Therefore, this kind of thing does not need to be kept secret, as soon as it is asked, it should be recruited, or you can pretend to struggle inside, make some tangled expressions, and back and forth with the other party, and then confess.

And some things, such as the truth about last year's banquet bombing, can't be killed.

This kind of top-secret information, the chief judge lacks a channel to learn about it, most of it is a problem that there is no real thing, just waiting for you to confess, but if you do, Chino will be finished immediately.

Paladin is so desperate to keep Chino, firstly, he does have a feeling of gratitude in it, and thanks Chino for bringing him out of Shilin Town, soaring and becoming a human being.

The second is that Paladin knows better than anyone else that there is a way to live if he doesn't recruit, and a dead end to recruit.

Once he confesses, Chino is also brought down, can his henchman have a good end? Throughout the ages, which big man has fallen, and his henchmen can escape the reckoning? If you don't do it, you have to implicate your wife and daughter.

The presiding judge said that he would lobby for commutation or pardon, but how true can what others say? If you bet your treasure on outsiders, isn't that the number one fool in the world?

And if he confesses, Chino is not knocked down, and miraculously survives this catastrophe, then needless to say, the whole family is waiting for the world to evaporate.

Therefore, confession is equivalent to death.

If you don't confess, that's a gamble, a glimmer of life for Chino.

If Chino still falls, then the bet is lost, and he is willing to lose.

If Chino hadn't fallen and survived this catastrophe, and he hadn't confessed the whole process, this matter would inevitably be remembered by Chino, and it would come in handy one day in the future, and his family would be extremely safe.

Therefore, in the current situation, Paladin actually has no choice, can only gamble, determined to be on his own, and depends on the sky, there is nothing to worry about.

If there's one thing Paladin fears the most, there's only one thing...

...

Just as Paladin and the chief judge in front of him were battling wits and back-and-forth, the door suddenly opened.

A soldier walked in, leaned over and whispered something in the presiding judge's ear.

The chief judge let out a short chuckle, as if he had a chance of victory, and he said sarcastically, "Tell the caravan steward." ”

The soldier looked at Paladin and said with an expressionless face: "The "military commander" of Twilight City, Baixa Hujer, has confessed that the mastermind of last year's "Grace Day" banquet bombing in Twilight City was the administrator Chino Van Helsing, whose real identity is a visitor from outside the world, and all the evidence has been recorded by the inquisitor and handed in. ”

Paladin only felt like he had exploded tons of gunpowder in his mind, and his worst fears had happened...

In the entire Twilight City, the only people who secretly speculated Chino's secret were him and Baiza.

As long as the two of them don't say anything, the royal family will not have substantial evidence - unless Chino is forced to confess himself, but this probability is probably even smaller than the resurrection of the Sun King.

Paladin had already made up his mind to die and not confess, but he was afraid that he would be here...

Paladin knew Baixa too well as a good brother, upright and hot-blooded, with no sand in his eyes, and impulsive... Baixa had privately expressed his hostility towards Chino, but he had persuaded him to do so.

But whether he was really persuaded to change his mind, Paladin really can't say.

Perhaps, Baixa realized his problem and began to learn to be tactful and wise.

Or perhaps, Baiza just hid his hostility for the time being, just waiting for Chino to lose power one day, as he is now, and then used the information he knew to deliver a fatal blow to Chino.

An unspeakable sense of powerlessness came to my heart, as smart as Paladin, and I didn't know what to do at this time.

However, just when Paladin was in despair, another thought arose - could it be a scheming?!

Maybe Baiza didn't make a move at all, and the two people in front of him deliberately sang a double reed in order to attack their hearts, pretending that Baixa had recruited?

Paladin gritted his teeth, thoughts rushing through his head...

Calm down...

It is necessary to calm down...

If it's a scheming, these two people should show their flaws - if Baiza's side doesn't make a move, they want to make a move here, and they will definitely not leave directly, but will pretend to give him a chance to start the interrogation again.

Paladin's eyes were gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Calm down...

Waiting for their flaws...

However, the situation seemed to be beyond Paladin's expectations, and the presiding judge and the soldier began to sort out the materials on the table, and there was no intention of continuing the interrogation at all, as if he was no longer needed:

"Let's go, I'm done, and I'll leave the rest to the arbitration team for a headache. Let's find a place to have a drink. ”

"You decide where you want."

"Okay, that's the old place. Hey, I said, how did you judge people over there? This mouth on my side is very hard. ”

"I'll drink this later."

"Okay, drink and say."

Seeing that the two were talking and laughing easily, the pressure in Paladin's heart increased dramatically.

In order to determine whether Baixa had really confessed, Paladin had to take a risky move.

Paladin: "You two, I have something to say!" ”

The presiding judge glanced at Paladin and sneered: "It's late, your good brother has already confessed in advance, and the information in your mouth is useless." Isn't that a pity, you say? Originally, if you confessed earlier, I would have been able to get a commutation or amnesty for you, but what was the result? You have a hard mouth to the end, what will happen to you? ”

The soldier helped the chief judge get the documents and led him out: "This is already a dead man, let him stink here." ”

Paladin was in a cold sweat for a moment, and the two of them didn't even mean to interrogate him again, and they weren't even interested in the information in his mouth...

Could it be that Baixa is really?! ...

...
