Chapter 1566: Interrogation

~7 min read 1,232 words

"No problem," the Chief of Security laughed.

Mo Cheng said again: "Give me another map, the most detailed map!"

The Chief of Security frowned, but he agreed to everything; seeing Mo Cheng and Newton putting on such airs, the Chief of Security only found it amusing.

"Very well, I will have it sent to you right away."

Just as the Chief of Security was about to leave, Mo Cheng's voice sounded again.

"And two cups of coffee, thank you."

The Chief of Security turned his head, took a deep look at the two people who were intently examining the documents, said nothing, let out a laugh, and left the place.

Mo Cheng looked at the only three documents with an expressionless face.

The first one was a portrait of Geleidier, and his physical features were no different from what he had described to himself.

Mo Cheng scanned it twice and moved on.

The second one recorded the cases Geleidier had committed so far.

In three years, he had committed over three hundred cases, with one person falling victim every three to four days on average.

Moreover, the targets of his violations covered every age group.

But they all satisfied one condition: they were good-looking, enough to attract his gaze.

However, despite so many cases, the remaining information was pitifully sparse; most cases only had a few words of record.

Even the victims' names were not mentioned.

Mo Cheng frowned, seeing:

"Most cases were requested to be destroyed by the victims; they all believed they had wronged Geleidier."

Seeing this sentence, Mo Cheng was stunned. Why would the victims feel the fault lay with themselves?

Mo Cheng could not figure it out.

Giving up on thinking, Mo Cheng flipped to the last sheet of paper, which recorded only one case.

It was the entire process of the Lady Babilon case.

Mo Cheng read it carefully several times; it was basically no different from what the Chief of Security had said.

It was just that it was recorded in more detail here, such as how Lady Babilon and Geleidier met.

The two of them met at a ball, and their relationship developed very rapidly; in less than three days, the two of them were frequently seen in various social venues.

They were able to meet every time.

Mo Cheng thought about it carefully; Lady Babilon was a Noble, and her husband was also an artist, so the balls the two attended certainly would not be too low-class.

But today, Hu Xi'er had met Geleidier in a Small Tavern that was considered quite accessible to the public.

He had also seen Geleidier; although he was dressed cleanly and neatly, he did not look like a Noble.

Yet the records showed frequent contact with Lady Babilon.

There was even a hand-drawn portrait of him with Lady Babilon, which was said to be drawn quite well.

These clues indicated that Geleidier was either a very successful businessman or a Noble.

Just at this moment, a door-opening sound suddenly appeared, interrupting Mo Cheng's thoughts.

Mo Cheng turned his head, saw it was the Chief of Security, and said indifferently: "Give the map to Newton."

Newton took the map and asked Mo Cheng: "Why give me the map? I don't know how to read one."

Mo Cheng glanced at Newton and said: "You don't need to know how to read a map; I need to calculate Geleidier's movement speed."

Mo Cheng glanced at the current time: "Two hours have passed since we encountered Geleidier, and when I fired, it only took him five minutes to escape my shot."

"Which means it took you five minutes to find me and Hu Xi'er from the alleyway, a distance of one hundred and fifty meters..."

"You understand what I mean, right?" Mo Cheng looked at Newton.

Newton nodded: "This is simple; it's just calculating how far Geleidier can run in an hour."

"Right, that's what I mean." Mo Cheng nodded.

"And then, we calculate

this, and then what?" Newton became interested and asked curiously.

"I need you to find the location where we met Geleidier on the map and draw a circle..."

Newton preempted him: "Use Geleidier's movement distance as the diameter?"

Mo Cheng nodded: "Yes."

"Good, piece of cake."

Seeing these two talking about diameters and circles, the Chief of Security was stunned; they had never had such troublesome matters when investigating cases.

And there had never been such a situation.

Mo Cheng glanced at the Chief of Security and said indifferently: "Chief of Security, I need to interrogate the prisoners you have arrested."

"Oh, sure, no problem." The Chief of Security nodded.

The Chief of Security brought Mo Cheng to the interrogation room quickly; the prisoners caught causing trouble tonight were right here.

They were currently full of regret, wondering why they had to provoke that woman.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be stuck in jail here, and with a life sentence at that.

They saw Mo Cheng walk in, were stunned for a moment, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "We were wrong, please just let us go."

Mo Cheng scanned them and said coldly: "Next, I ask, you answer."

Seeing that Mo Cheng had no intention of letting them go at all, the group did not want to pay attention to Mo Cheng either.

Mo Cheng said coldly: "If your answers satisfy me, I will speak to the Chief of Security and have your life sentences commuted."

In fact, the so-called life sentence did not exist at all; no matter how powerful the badge Newton held was, it could not easily sentence them to life imprisonment.

This was just something those soldiers had said to fob Newton off in the beginning.

However, these British men with heads full of muscles and Alcohol did not think so; in their eyes, these British Soldiers were capable of convicting them.

"Master, ask away, we will tell you everything we know."

These prisoners changed their previous attitude and said fawningly.

Mo Cheng nodded and asked: "Do you recognize Geleidier, and who instigated you to intercept that Longyan woman?"

The crowd immediately spoke all at once; Mo Cheng frowned slightly and said indifferently: "One by one, you first."

The British man pointed at by Mo Cheng said somewhat nervously: "That Longyan woman started drinking with us at first... we were unconvinced and wanted to teach her a lesson, then someone suggested blocking her, so we went."

"Who was the person who made the suggestion?"

The crowd thought for a good while, but they just couldn't remember who it was.

"He didn't come?"

"He went with us, you forgot he was even there speaking at the time."

"Yeah... but where is he?"

"If I could hear that voice again, I would definitely be able to recognize it."

Mo Cheng frowned tightly, adding another label to Geleidier in his heart: this person's voice can be disguised.

It seemed that nothing more could be asked from these prisoners, but Mo Cheng still found some useful information.

He stood up and left without leaving a single word.

These people, however, panicked.

"Master, don't go!"

After Mo Cheng left, these prisoners wailed in pain; life imprisonment, a prison in Britain is not a good place to stay.

The soldier looked at these people and couldn't help but remind them: "What are you noisy about? In fifteen days, you will be free."
