Chapter 64 Mirror
The fat man took out special restraint handcuffs from his waist, quickly handcuffed Tong Ying, and lifted her up from the ground.
At this moment, Tong Ying had completely lost her previous ferocity. She was like a lost soul, not struggling at all, and repeatedly muttering in a low voice, "Why...?"
Chen Shi found a brown paper bag from somewhere and placed it directly over Tong Ying's head, covering her face to prevent her from suddenly looking up and harming someone. Actually, Chen Shi was overthinking it; Tong Ying, handcuffed, couldn't use her powers at all, not to mention that she was already completely despondent.
The two men quickly escorted the person into the car.
As soon as he got in the car, Chen Shi quickly took out a band-aid and hurriedly put it on the wound on his face. Because if he didn't put it on now, he wouldn't need to put it on anymore.
The moment the two men escorted Tong Ying through the door, the entire bureau came to watch.
The Tianping Mountain Soul-Stealing Case has been making headlines recently. The victim fell into a coma for no apparent reason, and no witnesses saw the killer's face. The entire case is bizarre and complex, and has been dominating the city's headlines for days. No one expected that the perpetrator of such a major case would be apprehended by two people who were out investigating.
Sun Tiemei, Chang Biao, Su Xiaohe and the others rushed over immediately.
This time, the fat man was unusually low-key, not boasting about himself, and even deliberately attributed the credit to Chen Shi. In order to highlight Chen Shi's prowess, he transformed their earlier, ugly, amateurish fight into a thrilling close-quarters combat spectacle.
"You have no idea how dangerous it was just now! This woman is incredibly skilled; she can even scratch. It was only thanks to Chen Shi holding his own that they managed to subdue her! Look at the injuries on his face; they're all from the fight!"
He pointed at the band-aid on Chen Shi's face and boasted about it. Chen Shi looked up at the sky, determined not to let anyone see his embarrassment.
The female colleagues passing by looked at him with admiration, and Chen Shi inexplicably gained a wave of female fans in the department.
Many people secretly marveled at how ridiculously high the case-solving rate of Team Five had become ever since this new recruit joined the bureau. Take this case, for example; it seemed like there was no clue whatsoever, but Chen Shi and his colleague went out to investigate and arrested the person. This wasn't just a lucky charm; she was practically a born workaholic. Many department heads and team leaders cast envious glances at Sun Tiemei.
Sun Tiemei looked at Chen Shi with an undisguised smile on her face and eyes full of approval.
Su Xiaohe was so excited watching that if Chang Biao hadn't pulled her back to be more reserved, she would have pounced on him on the spot. She had clearly seen several female colleagues in the bureau secretly looking at Chen Shi with very seductive eyes.
Several men escorted Tong Ying toward the interrogation room. Along the way, Tong Ying kept muttering something to herself.
From the moment her superpowers failed and she failed to kill someone with a knife, her mentality completely collapsed.
She was determined to avenge Red Falcon, but instead of getting revenge, she got herself into trouble. Li Mo had warned her beforehand not to act impulsively, and she had even tried it herself that morning; her superpowers were completely ineffective against Chen Shi. But she was still unwilling to give up, and in a moment of madness, she rushed forward.
Do I regret it? Of course I regret it, but more than that, I can't understand it.
His own proud superpower was completely useless against a weakling of F-rank; it was utterly unreasonable.
Upon entering the interrogation room, Sun Tiemei removed the brown paper bag from Tong Ying's head. The light suddenly brightened, and Tong Ying subconsciously squinted. The next second, Chang Biao directly covered Tong Ying's head with his own sun-blocking eye mask, completely blocking her vision once again.
After the others left, Sun Tiemei and Chen Shi took charge of the interrogation.
"What's your name?"
Tong Ying lowered her head and remained silent.
Sun Tiemei's face grew cold, and she was about to lose her temper when Chen Shi stopped her.
"Hey, are you curious about why your superpowers don't work on me?" Chen Shi asked.
He had heard Tong Ying mutter this phrase so many times that his ears were practically calloused.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Tong Ying, who had been listless, instantly sat up straight: "Tell me, why?"
"My ability type is unclear, but it's mainly mental, so the current level assessment isn't very accurate. In other words, I might not be a conventional F-rank," Chen Shi explained.
Tong Ying fell silent, and when she looked up, her face was full of dejection: "I was wrong, really wrong. I thought that as long as the level was lower than mine, it would be fine, but I didn't expect that I couldn't deal with those people whose abilities were unknown."
Having resolved her biggest question, her murderous aura surged back instantly. Even with her eyes covered by a blindfold, her voice remained chillingly cold.
"You're the ones who drove Uncle Guo to his death! Yes, it was Red Falcon! You all deserve to die!"
When she said the words "they all deserve to die," she suddenly raised her voice and roared fiercely.
Sun Tiemei and the other woman were somewhat surprised: "Who are you to him?"
These words struck a nerve with Tong Ying. Her tense emotions instantly crumbled, and she buried her face in her hands on the table, bursting into tears: "Uncle Guo raised me; he's my only family!"
Sun Tiemei's eyes flickered slightly.
At that moment, she saw her own reflection in Tong Ying. After her father's death in the line of duty, she too had been raised by her senior, Yan Guang. She couldn't help but put herself in his shoes: if Yan Guang were to die one day, could she uphold her principles, abide by the rules, and let go of personal grudges? She herself wasn't sure.
Sun Tiemei suppressed her emotions, her tone remaining icy: "Outside judicial organs uphold procedural justice and cannot use torture to extract confessions, but our Supernatural Abilities Bureau is different. I'll ask you one last time, what's your name?"
The cold tone instantly sobered Tong Ying. After all, she was just a child of about ten years old. She remembered what Li Mo had said about how terrifying Sun Tiemei was, and dared not resist any longer. She whispered, "My name is Tong Ying."
Once you've opened your mouth, there's no point in continuing to resist.
Tong Ying honestly confessed the whole truth about the Tianping Mountain case and also explained her motive for murder.
The victim, Lin Nei, appeared to be an ordinary programmer, but his true identity was an undercover agent planted in Linchuan City by the police department of another city. He was secretly gathering intelligence on a supernatural organization. His activities were discovered by the organization some time ago, and they sent people to eliminate him.
So Tong Ying took the initiative to accept the mission, infiltrated Linchuan City, followed Lin Nei for several days, and then followed his family to Tianping Mountain. After killing Lin Nei, she did not expect that the people from Group Five were also there. Her enemy was right in front of her, but after completing her first mission, she was also a little scared, so she had to retreat first and then find an opportunity to take revenge.
"Can his condition recover?" Chen Shi asked.
Tong Ying instinctively wanted to say no, but feeling the pressure from Sun Tiemei, she dared not lie and could only answer truthfully: "Yes, I can remove the supernatural power restriction on him."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaohe outside immediately beamed with joy and got up to contact Meng Xin to tell her the good news.
In the interrogation room, Sun Tiemei asked Chen Shi to leave first, as she wanted to talk to Tong Ying alone.
After Chen Shi left, Sun Tiemei reached out and removed Tong Ying's blindfold.
Tong Ying's eyes were a little red and swollen, but her gaze was very determined.
"The Red Falcon's final choice to self-destruct was not simply out of desperation, but more because his beliefs had collapsed. He originally thought he was correcting the world, but along the way, he had witnessed too much senseless killing and pointless sacrifice, and he had long been weary. His self-destruction was actually a kind of liberation. Whether you believe it or not, I'm just telling you the truth."
"You avenging him is not the outcome he wanted at all."
After listening, Tong Ying looked at Sun Tiemei with some confusion.
"I didn't mean anything by it, I just think it's a pity that you're so young and would spend your whole life in prison just to get revenge."
Tong Ying understood that Sun Tiemei was telling the truth, because she had already been arrested and Sun Tiemei had no reason to lie to her.
Seeing that she was no longer speaking, Sun Tiemei got up and walked out.
Behind him, Tong Ying's voice rang out: "If possible, I can remove the restrictions on Lin Nei right now."
