Chapter 529

"......"

Good grief, I just wanted to "leverage my favor to make a request" and try to get the usage rights for an anomalous object. You're actually setting your sights on me too...

Reaching out to press against the sheep's head, Li Ang checked the female prisoner's soul state and discovered that her invitation was actually sincere. He couldn't help but say speechlessly:

"Forget it. I'm really not interested in the rebels. Your style of doing things is just too radical."

"......"

After hearing Li Ang's words, the number of people in the interrogation room who felt speechless suddenly went from one to two.

We are too radical? We've carried out over two hundred attacks over so many years, and the high-ranking officials we've killed don't even add up to as many as you killed in one night! And you have the nerve to call us radical?

After the two of them, who both felt the other was outrageous, sat opposite each other in silence for a good while, Li Ang finally spoke first:

"Since you already know what happened to the Bobby Laien family, I'll be direct... I'm very interested in that bandage. I want to get your approval and thereby obtain the usage rights for that bandage!"

"Fine."

The female prisoner was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she nodded and said:

"As long as you can get me out of here, I will immediately give up the usage rights to the bandage and hand it over to you."

"That's impossible."

Li Ang shook his head when he heard this:

"Not to mention the charge of assassinating the Princess, Miss Yisha showed me some of your files. In the years you've been with the rebels, you've participated in quite a few attacks, causing the deaths of at least dozens of innocent people..."

"So... are you trying to say that I deserve what I got?"

Hearing Li Ang's words, the female prisoner's gaze suddenly sharpened. She stared at him and said coldly:

"Fine. Since you're prepared to calculate it this way, why don't you take the Kingdom's nobility register and check them one by one from top to bottom! Judge them one by one according to the laws promulgated by the Kingdom! If there is even one great noble family whose crimes are lighter than mine, I can just smash my head against this wall and die right here!"

"You misunderstood. I didn't mean to accuse you; that's not within my scope of work."

Li Ang shook his head and said:

"What I want to say is that your cumulative charges are already enough for the death penalty. So, I don't need to save you. As long as I wait for a period of time, after you are hanged for these crimes, I will be able to obtain ownership of the bandage all the same."

"......"

After hearing Li Ang's earnest explanation, the female prisoner's face turned blue with anger.

She had originally thought that Li Ang would be like the policewoman and say things about how once you start hurting innocent people, the victims become the new perpetrators. She had already prepared her rebuttal for these past few days.

She never expected this guy in front of her to be shockingly pragmatic. He didn't argue or defend himself against her questioning, but just pushed it right back at her, giving her the feeling of casting pearls before swine.

"Then why did you come to find me?"

Looking at the handsome man in front of her who was slightly thin, the female prisoner said in annoyance:

"Anyway, I'm facing the death penalty sooner or later, so why don't you just wait for me to die?"

"Because that would require waiting for a period of time."

Li Ang replied with a calm expression:

"You are one of the perpetrators in the Princess assassination case. You certainly won't die before the case is completely closed. And the people who can decide to close the case now have all had their energy tied up by the Bobby Laien Blood Night. I don't know when they'll remember you, and I don't want to wait that long."

"So whether I agree or not, the only difference is whether it can save you some time, right?"

"Yes."

"......"

Looking at Li Ang, who was clearly a few years younger than the policewoman but had an "impervious" air about him, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in the female prisoner's heart.

After staring at him for a while, she gave a heavy snort and said:

"I admit, you killed Bobby Bobby Laien and destroyed the Bobby Laien family, which does count as getting revenge for me. But I'm not someone who repays kindness!

Besides, if it weren't for your interference, I could have killed that policewoman in the carriage back then, and then broken into the Bobby Laien family to strangle that dog Bobby Bobby Laien with my own hands!" When she said this, the female prisoner was probably getting angrier the more she thought about it. She glared at Li Ang with anger filling her face and said:

"If you calculate it that way, you're even my enemy. So why should I help you? If you want my bandage, then just honestly wait for me to die!"

"......"

It really wasn't that simple... Then I'll just have to use some methods!

Li Ang shook his head when he heard this, and then asked:

"Your daughter... is still alive, right?"

Looking at the female prisoner whose expression suddenly tightened, Li Ang said softly:

"Although your daughter's file says she is deceased, and the cause of death was hunger and illness, when you talked about revenge, you almost never mentioned avenging her. You only talked about 'my husband', 'the encounter our family had', and so on.

So I think, either in your heart, your love for your daughter is far less than for your husband, to the point where she doesn't even deserve a passing mention, or your daughter didn't die at all, which is why you subconsciously ignored her when talking about revenge. Am I right?"

"......"

This damn dog!

Knowing that it was impossible to hide from Li Ang's "interrogation", the female prisoner simply gave up on pointless struggling. After gritting her teeth and glaring at Li Ang, she simply and straightforwardly nodded and admitted:

"You guessed right. My daughter is indeed still alive, but on the day I joined the rebels, I found a way to send her away. I didn't even leave an address.

So it's absolutely impossible for you to find my daughter, let alone think about using her to threaten me! If you join us, I can give you the bandage directly. Otherwise, just wait for me to die!"

"Fine, then let's just assume I can't find her."

After locking eyes with the female prisoner, who was filled with determination, Li Ang nodded silently and continued softly:

"Then what about your spy in the Secret Investigation Bureau? Do you think I can find him?"

"?!!!"

"Don't deny it. When I first walked in, you had already sold him out."

Taking the 【Blood-Stained Plague Bandage】 out of his pocket and placing it on the table, Li Ang said calmly:

"When I first tried to inform you of Bobby Bobby Laien's death, your exact words were 'There is turmoil in the Bobby Laien family, and almost all the core members of the clan are dead...', right?"

After repeating her words, Li Ang tapped the blood-stained bandage on the table and said meaningfully:

"I admit, I was forced to kill some members of the Bobby Laien family, but even I only knew after the fact that the vast majority of the people I killed were core members of the Bobby Laien family.

So, can you please tell me, since you have been locked in a cell and only had a bandage as your 'eyes', why did you know that it wasn't ordinary clan members who died, but the core members of the clan?"

"You?!"

"You have too many flaws. I don't even need to look at the state of your soul to guess a rough range."

After secretly pressing his little finger against the goat's horn, Li Ang watched the female prisoner's soul churning wildly and said with a peaceful expression:

"As an important prisoner in the Princess assassination case, everyone who has seen you needs to be registered, and there must be someone accompanying them. Interrogations cannot be conducted alone.

And it certainly isn't easy to get a spy into the Secret Investigation Bureau. To prevent him from behaving strangely and being exposed by an investigation, that spy shouldn't have rashly contacted you, unless he himself is a member of the investigation team."

"......"

"Oh, and also, because he told you about the situation with the Bobby Laien family, the time that spy contacted you must have been after the Bobby Laien Blood Night. So the range can be narrowed down further."

"I just happened to glance at the interrogation registration form when I walked in. I found that you have been interrogated about thirty times in the past few days, by four groups of people, totaling eight names. Excluding Miss Yisha, who couldn't possibly be a spy, the remaining people are..."

"Stop! Don't say it!"

Seeing that the person's name was already on the tip of Li Ang's tongue, the female prisoner, whose psychological defense had completely collapsed, roared:

"Shut up! Don't you want my bandage? Take it! Take it all!!!"
