Chapter 51

The fifth gear light was on for a full hour, and half of the water in his body seemed to evaporate.

Sweat flowed out and was quickly dried, which could not relieve the pain caused by the high temperature. An hour later, the light was turned off, and the small room became dim in an instant. Someone brought a 300cc bottle of water and quietly placed it at Chen Li's feet.

Chen Li closed his eyes and emptied his mind. The burning pain in his back made him unable to bend down to get the water at his feet for a while. He was not thirsty to the extreme, so he was not in a hurry to drink water. At this time, his body gradually felt the coolness after the light was turned off. He tried to relax his muscles to make himself bear it longer.

The Sixth Bureau would naturally not let him and the smoke gun go easily, but he was also sure that the Sixth Bureau would not dare to do anything out of line to them. At most, they would turn off the heat lamp, which was not a difficult punishment for them.

After a while, about two hours, the door was opened again, and a young woman in a clerk suit walked in with a stool.

Chen Li glanced at her and had already made a prediction in his mind that this person was not of the same level as the hesitant little clerk before.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am the second-level inspector of the 19th Inspectorate of the Sixth Bureau. You can call me Xiao Li." The young woman sat on the chair she brought with her legs crossed leisurely.

Chen Li nodded, as a courtesy.

"Why did you and Mr. Yan appear at the club fire scene?" The young woman repeated the question raised by the little clerk before.

"To participate in 'Golden Soup and Jade Boat'." Chen Li repeated the previous answer word for word.

"But the surveillance tells us that you entered the fire scene from the closed fire escape after the fire started." The young woman said with a smile.

"Can't enter if you are late?"

"Sure, sure, handsome guy is right." The young woman smiled and recorded Chen Li's answer.

Chen Li thought expressionlessly: punching without rules is the most difficult to defend against.

"What did you do at the fire scene?" The young woman asked.

"I didn't do anything."

"There was a body falling from the sky at the scene, shot in the forehead and elbow by two bullets respectively. Does it have anything to do with you?"

"You can go to the Tushita Heaven to monitor." Chen Li said.

"You didn't deny it." The young woman stared straight at Chen Li's dark eyes, not afraid of those abyss-like eyes at all.

"You can go to the Tushita Heaven to monitor." Chen Li repeated it again in full.

"Okay," the young woman shrugged, "because you are handsome."

"By the way, I turn on the light again, is it okay?" The young woman took out a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and put them on. Obviously, the tone of negotiation was just a notification.

The human body is not so sensitive to the violent alternation of cold and heat. After the light was turned on for a few seconds, Chen Li gradually felt the pain. The burned back was like being stabbed by a needle with high frequency. He frowned slightly.

"I will cooperate with it." The young woman's face was illuminated extremely white, her smile looked a little weird, and the pores and hair on her face were extremely clear.

"The bullet wrapped in wax was the work of your colleague, right?"

Chen Li did not answer.

"Yes," the young woman's voice became stern, "or, no."

"I don't know." Chen Li felt his eyes gradually blurry, but he did not blink, letting the sweat seep into his eyes.

"Such things can be known as long as you search your body, so why lie."

Chen Li was silent again. He could no longer see the young woman because his eyes were already white, but his expression did not change at all.

"Is the knife wound on your face left by the person who fell from the building? Yes or no, answer!" The young woman shouted harshly. Chen Li stared blankly ahead, and after a few seconds, he slowly uttered two words, "No."

"Thank you for your cooperation." The young woman stood up, nodded to Chen Li, and then turned to leave the interrogation room that had been baked extremely hot.

The young woman quickly left the interrogation room, with beads of sweat rolling down her face. She rushed to the fat inspector panting and gulped down the caramel coffee that had just been brewed in the fat inspector's cup.

The fat inspector looked at his coffee with some distress, hesitating to speak, "Ah..."

"Fuck, this is definitely a character, every one of his answers is flawless, I can't find a needle hole at all, absolutely amazing, great, worthy of the handsome guy I like."

The fat inspector coughed, "Manzi, you can't be partial to him just because of his face."

"Bullshit, you can't see clearly here, I didn't try hard just now? I tried hard but still retreated step by step, this is outrageous!" The young woman reached out and patted the fat inspector's forehead, stained her hand with oil, and rubbed it on the fat inspector's front with disgust.

"Go and interrogate that one again." The fat inspector smiled flatteringly.

"Why don't you go by yourself, first-level inspector." Hearing these four words, the fat on the fat inspector's face instantly trembled. He straightened his tie and stood up, raising his chin, "Manzi, make coffee." The young woman rolled her eyes, grabbed the coffee cup, and went to make coffee while swinging her braids. After the fat inspector went in, the young woman sat down on the fat inspector's seat, sipped the freshly brewed sweet coffee, and turned up the external projector volume. After more than ten minutes, the fat inspector came out with a droopy face. He felt that his subordinates stole strange glances at him, mixed with disappointment and pity. "Sorry, boss, the volume was too loud just now," the young woman suppressed a laugh, "the sound of that gentleman scolding you and spitting at you, maybe... maybe a few people heard it, but it's okay, we won't tell anyone." The fat inspector's face turned green, and he was huddled in the corner of the office area, like a gloomy fat mushroom. Even though the small inspectorate was given certain powers, it could not act boldly. It was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. During this period, the Fourth Bureau called several times to inquire about the situation. The fat inspector gritted his teeth and evaded them. He interrogated several times, but naturally found nothing.

Time passed slowly like this. By the morning of the second day, the fat inspector had not returned home for two consecutive nights. His wife seemed quite dissatisfied with this. The fat inspector left the office on the pretext of going home to rest for half a day.

As soon as the fat inspector left, the Fourth Bureau sent someone over.

"I'm sorry, two leaders. Director Shen just went home to rest. How about you come back at two o'clock in the afternoon?" Manzi laughed dryly twice, her face a little stiff. No one wanted to receive the evil star of the Fourth Bureau while on duty.

"Li Manzi," the leading evil star glanced at Manzi's work card and asked, "So you are the person in charge here now?"

"Yes." Li Manzi nodded.

"Tell me about the situation." The three evil stars were all very tall, and at this moment, they all looked at Li Manzi with their noses. One of them was obviously of higher status, with nothing in his hands, while the two following behind him each held a large black box in their hands, which was large enough to fit an adult.

"Well, it's like this. We have initially mastered the basic information and movement trajectory of two...detainees. Other situations are still being inquired. Everything is going smoothly." Li Manzi made up lies fluently.

"Do you mind if we go in and take a look?" The evil star lowered his head slightly, and his eyes stabbed Li Manzi's face like a knife.

"This requires the director's authority."

"If your director is capable, do you still need us to come?" The evil star scolded harshly.

Li Manzi smiled slightly, "Since the director is incompetent, can he be removed and replaced by me?"

"Will you open the door for us?"

"Of course." Li Manzi raised her chin.

"You are a good woman." The evil star's face relaxed slightly, and made a "please" gesture.

Li Manzi had a sly smile on her face. She slowly pressed Shaxing's finger back into her palm, "I'm sorry, boss, but Lao Shen is still the director now. I can't go beyond my level. Please contact Director Shen and ask him to open the door in person."

Shaxing's face turned livid in an instant, and his voice became even colder, "Li, Man, Zi!"

"It's my name, my work number is 368903, and I'm a second-level inspector." Li Manzi raised her chin, and her momentum was not inferior at all.

"You will pay the price for your behavior." Shaxing said this, and turned around and left with his men.

Li Manzi stuck out her tongue at the backs of the three people, "Huh, you thought I was afraid of you."

Two hours later, the fat inspector appeared at the door with a dark face. When he saw Li Manzi, he rushed over with gritted teeth. His round belly did not affect his speed at all.

Li Manzi took a step back with a look of disgust, "Don't get too close, your belly is against me."

"Someone from the fourth bureau is here? What did you say to them?" The fat inspector lowered his voice.

"I didn't let them in, what's wrong?" Li Manzi blinked innocently.

"Why did you stop them? I owe you, little ancestor!"

"The equipment they bring can kill or maim people at first glance. When the time comes, they will pat their butts and leave, and you will clean up the mess. Can you clean it up?" Li Manzi put one hand on her waist, and said confidently.

The fat inspector was speechless for a moment, and his fat face turned red.

"Don't worry, Old Shen, I calculated that this time there will be a turn of events, and there will be no danger." Li Manzi whispered in the fat inspector's ear.

"Really?" The fat inspector's face was happy.

Li Manzi patted the fat inspector's chest, "No problem, you still don't trust me."

"Then help me calculate my wife," the fat inspector said with a flattering expression, "Good Manzi, help me."

"I told you a long time ago that if you leave your wife, you will be like an old cow stuck in a quagmire, and eight horses can't pull it up. It will sink deeper and deeper and die. If you still dare to think about other things, dream on."

The fat inspector sighed heavily, his eyes wandering to the side, looking a bit frustrated in middle age, "Forget it, it's not good for a butterfly to drift all its life..."

"You are at most a fat moth." Li Manzi rolled her eyes.
