Chapter 512: Strange Interrogation

~9 min read 1,626 words

"You are that Li Ang?"

Hearing his name, Li Ang, who was fixed on the hospital bed with his hands and shoulders wrapped in a large amount of bandages, turned his head with some effort and saw an old man with gray hair and muscles on his brow twisted into a "chuan" shape.

"Who are you?"

"You don't need to care who I am."

Without answering Li Ang's question, the old man with a nail-like face and no expression on his face said coldly:

"You only need to know that you are currently the number one suspect in the Bobby Laien blood case and are undergoing review."

So... is this person an interrogator from the Secret Investigation Bureau? But shouldn't an interrogator bring an assistant? Why bring guards? And they don't seem to be ordinary guards?

Glancing at the two guards behind the old man, guessing their profession from their straight standing posture and the calluses on their tiger's mouths, Li Ang frowned and turned his head back again.

"Hmm?"

After noticing Li Ang's subtle expression change, the old man's eyes narrowed instantly, staring dead at Li Ang's side face like a hawk, and questioned coldly:

"Do you have an opinion on the military?"

Glancing at the old man sideways, Li Ang, while racking his brains and trying his best to guess his identity, asked back impolitely:

"Can't I?"

"Watch your speech!"

Sure enough, like countless common routines in classic film and television works, after Li Ang provoked the old man who was suspected of having a high status, the two guards behind him, full of reverence, were instantly furious and scolded directly:

"Do you know..."

"Stop!"

Raising his hand to gesture behind him, stopping the guards from reporting their own names, the old man's tightly pursed corners of his mouth actually curled up, then looked at Li Ang and said:

"You want to know my identity?"

"I already know."

Although the black goat wasn't by his side and couldn't observe the state of the old man's soul, looking at his expression and tone, Li Ang vaguely felt that the other party seemed to like "capable thorns," so he directly revealed the bottom line:

"There are strange sun marks on the fabric of your chest, and the shape is mostly some kind of medal. Although you are not wearing shoulder straps, there are buckles left for shoulder straps on your clothes;

The two guards behind have calluses on their tiger's mouths, and the boots they are wearing are issued to non-commissioned officers, but they are thicker than ordinary non-commissioned officer boots, mostly lieutenant-level officers, and these two look at most thirty years old;

With two thirty-year-old lieutenant-level officers as guards, and the qualification to wear medals and honors, there are only a few people in the entire military, and the one who can vaguely relate to me is only one."

After glancing at the old man who was calm on the surface but had quite satisfied eyes, Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a straight face:

"Minister of Defense, right?"

"Look! What did I say!"

Hearing Li Ang reveal his father's identity after just two glances, the female police officer outside the ward felt her heart relax.

"I said he was very smart! If you want to ask something, you should ask directly; why do you have to do this set of things? Oh my, really..."

After complaining to her mother, she was just about to rush into the ward in a hurry, but was pulled back by her arm.

"Don't make trouble!"

After hurriedly stopping her reckless daughter, the middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, then twisted her waist hard with a frown.

"Ouch!"

Feeling the pain, the female police officer was a bit unhappy. Turning her head and wanting to say something, she noticed her mother's angry eyes.

"Behave yourself! Isn't the trouble you caused enough?"

Remembering the scene yesterday when her daughter rushed into her bedroom, covered in dust, and told her that the suspect in the Bobby Laien blood night was innocent and only appeared in the Bobby Laien Manor because she was helping her investigate the rebels, the middle-aged woman was furious and gave her reckless daughter another hard twist on the thigh!

"Pain!"

"Pain you to death!"

After dragging her reckless daughter away from the ward door to prevent her from making trouble, the middle-aged woman scolded her with anger on her face:

"Do you know how much risk your father took to wipe your ass this time?"

"Very, very big..."

"And you asked your father to go to the Princess, and said something about taking the opportunity to suppress the old nobles, and the Princess would definitely agree... Is this kind of big matter something you can casually get involved in? Don't you want your life!"

"Want, want, want..."

"And! What is your relationship with that person? Why is he willing to take such a big risk to help you investigate, and hasn't betrayed you until now?"

"Just a friend..."

"Nonsense! What kind of ordinary friend would go to this extent? And I sent people to ask in your bureau; why do many people say they saw you pulling and dragging each other?" "Maybe we were arguing..."

"So what were you arguing about?"

"Just ordinary arguing..."

"Is the stir-fry delicious?"

"It's okay, it's okay..."

"..."

Okay my ass!

Looking at her daughter, who was tiptoeing to peek into the ward while answering her absent-mindedly, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but feel anger from her heart and gave her reckless daughter another hard twist.

"Ouch!"

Finally coming back to her senses, the female police officer covered her thigh and ran a few steps away, then complained:

"Mom! Why do you always pinch me?"

"You deserve it!"

Listening to the chattering noise of his wife and daughter outside the ward, and the suddenly tightened breathing of the two guards behind him, and looking at Li Ang, whose expression was a bit strange, the old man, whose face was a bit unable to hold up, took a deep breath and ordered the guards behind him:

"Go! Tell them to keep their voices down!"

"Yes!"

After responding with a standard tone, as the young officer, whose expression was a bit distorted, ran away from the ward, the noise outside finally quieted down, but one could still hear some whispers and one or two muffled groans from time to time.

"Since you guessed it yourself, I won't hide it."

Forcibly ignoring the commotion outside the ward, the old man, whose figure was slightly hunched but could still see his straight posture when he was young, said seriously:

"I am indeed Isha's father, and I was the one who asked the Princess for the warrant to take you out.

But this is not because of Isha's pleading, but because of the need as the Minister of Defense... Tell me, what exactly happened that night at the Bobby Laien Manor?"

What happened that night?

Li Ang couldn't help but laugh when he heard the old man's words, and then replied seriously:

"What happened was something that should have happened long ago."

"..."

"Before discussing this good thing that happened too late, I also have some things I want to ask you."

After glancing at the old man's brow that was twisted again, Li Ang asked seriously in front of the two young guards:

"At noon on the day the Bobby Laien family had the accident, I was on the same carriage as your daughter. At that time, she was escorting a rebel. Do you know about that rebel and the encounter of her husband?"

"Isha told me."

The old man's expression dimmed when he heard this, and he nodded: 【51

"I have already invited people from the Secret Investigation Bureau to go to the Ministry of War to launch an investigation into everyone who was involved back then. Although a long time has passed and the investigation will take quite a while, I can give her an answer within a month or two at most!"

"That's fine, but her enemies should all be dead by now, so I reckon she won't need your answer anymore."

After receiving the answer he wanted, Li Ang couldn't help but nod, then continued to ask:

"You must have investigated me too, right? What about the pension owed to my family?"

"Before you went to the Bobby Laien estate, Miss Yisha had already given me a list. All the withheld pensions will be made up."

When he said this, the old man paused slightly, slowly exhaled, and his figure slumped a little more.

"As for those who committed serious dereliction of duty during the distribution of pensions, they are also undergoing questioning and investigation by the Secret Investigation Bureau, and it starts with me, the Minister of Defense.

Before coming to see you, I had just undergone the relevant investigation. The reason I wasn't wearing my epaulets and medals wasn't to hide my identity, but because I took them off when I underwent the investigation.

After everyone has finished their investigations, the punishments for us will be completed one after another within two months. The minimum penalty is a one-year salary deduction, and the maximum is the forfeiture of all property and the death penalty. The forfeited property will all be used to compensate the families of the martyrs whose pensions were withheld..."

"Fine, I have no more questions."

After hearing the handling results of these two matters, looking at the old man's eyes full of remorse, Li Ang couldn't help but nod with slight surprise, and then confessed:

"The report in the *Sun* was correct. I did kill Bobby Bobby Laien."
