Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 206 28. Shocking! The case was cracked in just one day (10,000-word plea for monthly passes!)_2

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, unsure as to why. But she figured it must be a minor detail, so she didn't pay it much attention.

Again, she looked at Qiu Yue and said, "Director Qiu Yue, now I will confirm the situation with you."

"May I ask, is everything recorded in this confession spoken by you?" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

As Bai Zhi said this, she gestured slightly, and Bai Ling quickly read through the confession, then both of them looked towards Qiu Yue.

Qiu Yue, upon hearing the confession, silently nodded.

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Bai Zhi's eyes, then she asked, "So you admit that your superior is Minister Qianfeng from the Governing Hall and the mastermind behind the scenes is Municipal Councilor Jiang Cheng, correct?"

Qiu Yue nodded once again.

Bai Zhi continued, "During last night's interrogation, did any of our commissioners use illegal interrogation methods on you such as beating or verbal abuse?"

This time Qiu Yue hesitated.

Beating... verbal abuse; there was none of that...

She seemed to be undergoing one interrogation after another endlessly.

There were so many interrogations that she couldn't tell which were real and which were false.

Nor could she differentiate what she actually said from what the interrogators had guessed.

It led her to wonder if she was dreaming.

And... when Fang Ze presented the written confession, she found out that everything confessed was indeed spoken by "her"...

She "remembered" saying those things...

And they were all true.

Therefore, to avoid entering another cycle of Reincarnation, she dared not deny it any longer and simply signed.

Although she couldn't comprehend what exactly had happened.

Nor could she figure out what bizarre interrogation techniques had been used to repeat the process over and over again.

But... they were indeed all legal.

With that thought, she nodded once more.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi finally became thoroughly excited.

She discreetly signaled to Bai Ling.

Without drawing attention, Bai Ling hooked up the surveillance camera in the room, went to the rest area, switched on the monitor, and started recording.

Afterward, she returned to the room, assisted Bai Zhi in questioning and confirming the confession and all details of the interrogation process once more and recorded it.

Indeed, it was all legal and compliant, and the testimony was also validated, so they excitedly left the detention room and returned to the rest area!

Back in the rest area, Bai Ling, excited as a little sparrow, exclaimed, "Bai, Fang Ze really did it!"

"He actually managed to break Qiu Yue within a day, prying open her mouth and digging out the puppet masters."

Bai Zhi had been maintaining a façade of calm, but at this moment, she could not hide her satisfaction, "I didn't expect Fang Ze to do it so well, so quickly."

"To crack such a big case in one day..."

"Let's see who dares to look down on us now."

With increasing excitement, she said, "I'm going to report to the director right away and give credit to Fang Ze. With such a splendid job done, his merit must be substantial."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Bai Ling hastily pulled at her.

Bai Zhi gave her a puzzled look.

Bai Ling whispered, "Bai, I saw that the last page of the confession had a note tucked in, it seems to be from Fang Ze. Should we take a look at it before we proceed with the plan?"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's words, Bai Zhi then realized that Fang Ze had left them a message.

With that in mind, she flipped to the last page and indeed found a sticky note Fang Ze had attached.

The note mainly mentioned two things.

The first was: Although Qiu Yue had confessed, there was only testimonial evidence and no physical evidence, making it slightly flimsy. Hence, it would be best for Bai Zhi to secure all the evidence mentioned by Qiu Yue before reporting.

However, Fang Ze speculated that the evidence might have already been destroyed or blocked by Qianfeng and Jiang Cheng after Qiu Yue's arrest.

Therefore, she shouldn't rush to secure the evidence. She needed to be more careful, firstly securing the evidence hidden by Qiu Yue herself, which Qianfeng and Jiang Cheng didn't know about. Then, she should verify each piece of evidence one by one, to see if there were any oversights by the other party.

The second matter was: Jiang Cheng's family is of noble status, having governed Xida State for decades, with extensive influence. Nobody knows if they have other accomplices within the Security Bureau.

So... when needing manpower, she should not directly draw from the Security Bureau.

Fang Ze had extracted a few trustworthy Reserve Commissioners yesterday and had them join the Special Case Team. If manpower was needed, they should be used first. This would serve not only as early training but also as sharing the merit.

At the end of the sticky note was a list of the names of those Reserve Commissioners.

Bai Zhi read it carefully and then said to Bai Ling in amazement, "He yesterday... not only interrogated a suspect all day but also found several new recruits?"

Following that, she hesitated, "But... can these new recruits be trusted?"

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's remarks, Bai Ling patted her arm like a small adult and said, "Bai, do you think we need to worry about this?"

"We should just trust Fang Ze for the intellectual stuff."

Bai Zhi: ...

Bai Zhi felt Bai Ling had changed.

In the past, she was her little tail, her little cotton coat, incredibly adorable.

But now... she was Fang Ze's lackey!

Meanwhile,

As Bai Zhi and Bai Ling verified the authenticity and legality of the testimony, in the deputy director's office of the Security Bureau,

Xun Yi was also reporting the matter to Gu Qing.

Since Fang Ze had arrived at the Security Bureau, Gu Qing had started coming to work much earlier.
