Chapter 142 Interrogation
Tang Feiyan knew that if it weren't for her father being present, even if everyone in the banquet hall died, Eric would absolutely not have acted! But, he saved her father, only to be sent to prison by her father.
At this thought, Tang Feiyan couldn't help but throw herself into Tan Ailing's arms and burst into tears.
Seeing his daughter's behavior, Tang's father was really puzzled. Could this be the legendary "the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry"?
He walked over and patted his daughter's shoulder, saying with a wry smile, "Alright, Feiyan, why are you acting like a child? Be careful not to let others laugh at you..." He finished, and glanced meaningfully at Ye Simin.
At this moment, Ye Simin did not notice Tang's father's meaningful gaze, but frowned and thought.
Is Miss Tan's fiancé a murderer? It shouldn't be possible, right? No matter how arrogant the children of prestigious families are, they wouldn't do such a thing in this kind of situation! There must be a reason behind this...
Based on her own pride, Ye Simin did not think about adding insult to injury, but instead wanted to find out the truth.
If Miss Tan's fiancé is really the kind of ruthless person who kills easily, then even if it means bankrupting herself and sacrificing her life, she must save Miss Tan from this ordeal...
Seeing Ye Simin staring blankly, Tang's father thought that this scholarly young man was frightened by such a bloody scene, so he stopped teasing him and continued to coax his daughter, "Feiyan, why are you so sad? If others don't know, they might think that the one who was taken away just now was your fiancé..."
Hearing Tang's father say this, Tang Feiyan also felt that her behavior might arouse suspicion from others, so she straightened up and said, "Dad, why did you agree to let them take Ailing's fiancé away..."
"I've already said, it's not an arrest, just assisting in the investigation..."
"Assisting in the investigation? Can't it wait until tomorrow? Why the rush?"
Tang's father sighed helplessly and whispered, "The security of the venue this time is handled by the National Security Bureau. Those people are always arrogant. If Eric killed someone under their noses, they would naturally feel a great loss of face. I can't control the leaders of the National Security Bureau. At most, I can only ensure that Eric is not tortured..."
"What? Torture?" Tang Feiyan became nervous. "Eric didn't kill anyone at all. That person was already dead..."
"How do you know that person was already dead?" Tang's father was curious.
Tang Feiyan was stunned, unsure whether to reveal her identity as a pre-heaven expert to her father. In her dilemma, she unconsciously glanced at Tan Ailing.
Tang's father immediately misunderstood, smiled knowingly, and said, "It must be that Ailing also noticed that the person had no breathing sound, right? But this doesn't mean that person is dead... There are many things in this world that you don't understand..."
Tang's father, who was also confused, put on a serious face and began to lecture the two juniors.
After a long silence, Tan Ailing suddenly spoke up, "Uncle Tang, you must still have many things to deal with, we'll go back first..."
Seeing Tan Ailing's calm face, Tang's father sighed softly and said, "Rest assured, Ailing, until the truth comes to light, I will absolutely ensure the safety of your fiancé!"
"Thank you, Uncle Tang..."
As they left the banquet hall, they ran into the four chief guards.
These four people were originally eating elsewhere and were unaware of what had happened in the banquet hall. Due to their unease, they decided to follow and take a look.
"Madam, where is the master?"
"Eric was taken away by the National Security Bureau..." Tang Feiyan said angrily.
"What?" The four chief guards were all furious and immediately turned around to rush out.
"Stop!"
"We're going to save the master..."
"Nonsense! You don't need to intervene in this matter. Follow me back!"
Although the four chief guards were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey Tang Ailing's words. In their soul imprints, Tang Ailing was second only to Eric in importance. Before Eric was able to speak, Tang Ailing's words were the highest command!
On the way back to Purple Garden, Tang Feiyan finally couldn't help but ask, "Ailing, are we really unable to do anything?"
"Of course not!" Tan Ailing no longer concealed her eagerness. "When we get back, I'll make a call to ask for help. We must not let Eric suffer..."
"Why wait until we get back to make the call? Although we didn't bring our phones, there is a car phone in this Bentley! Let's make the call now..." Tang Feiyan was a bit impatient.
Tan Ailing blushed slightly. Under Tang Feiyan's repeated questioning, she said, "If I remembered the phone number, I would have called from the banquet hall. Why wait until now?"
"Bang..."
In an interrogation room at the Shanghai branch of the National Security Bureau, a burly man slammed the table hard and shouted,
Eric glanced around with some interest, then looked at him and asked, "Why is this place so bright?"
The burly man was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but interject, "Bright? What do you mean?"
Eric pointed to the brightly lit room and said, "You should have made this into a dark room, with a bright lamp shining directly on the suspect's face during interrogation... Isn't that how it's done in movies?"
The burly man was extremely angry. He felt that he was being played by this "manly-looking woman." He slammed the table again, stared, and stood up, shaking his "burly body" as he yelled, "Kid, don't be too arrogant! Let me tell you, even your deputy mayor relative can't control our National Security Bureau..."
"But it seems like you can't control me either..." Eric said lightly. "The jurisdiction for murder cases should be with the criminal investigation department..."
"Haha, kid, are you still counting on your deputy mayor relative to bail you out?" The burly man said triumphantly. "The scope of authority of our National Security Bureau is anyone or anything that poses a threat to national security! By doing what you did in such an important diplomatic setting, we have reason to believe that your intent is not just murder, but to endanger national security..."
"Oh? How exactly am I endangering national security by committing murder?" Eric found it more and more amusing.
"The reason you did this is exactly the purpose of our interrogation of you! Why don't you confess honestly?"
"Since you are so good at thinking, why not just come up with a reasonable and plausible reason for me?"
"Bang..."
In the pitiful trembling of the interrogation table, the burly man roared, "Kid, don't think your relative can really save you! We have plenty of ways to make you confess, and we will definitely not let anyone find out about your injuries..."
"Are you planning to press a phone book against my chest and then hit it with a hammer?" Eric, deeply influenced by old movies, asked.
"Bang..."
The interrogation table was finally smashed by the furious burly man. He bypassed the debris and prepared to give this hateful kid a good lesson.
