Chapter 78: Wenma's Suffering Day
Wen Ma was a little nervous today.
The reason was that he was transferred to a major smuggling case, in which a group of people involved smuggled from the human world to Mount Xumi. When Yinglong handed the file to him, even the knowledgeable Wen Ma was shocked.
Wen Ma asked Ying Long in shock: "What? Is there anyone so bold in this era?"
Yinglong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Of course."
Wen Ma suddenly felt a strong sense of righteousness rising from deep within his heart: "Don't worry! I will definitely fulfill my mission and bring these lawless lunatics to justice!"
After hearing this, Ying Long smiled with an ambiguous smile: "You don't need to arrest him. He is already in the Investigation Bureau."
Wen Ma heard this and quickly flattered him: "Really? As expected of Lord Yinglong, you are so efficient at work."
Wen Ma did not realize the seriousness of the problem at that time. He really realized how serious the matter was when he first opened the file Yinglong gave him after Yinglong left.
Hmm? Do these names look too familiar? Is it possible that they are the same name?
Wen Ma finally realized that Yinglong would hand over such a big case to him. It was nothing but bad luck. Especially when he sat in the interrogation room and the prisoner facing him was his immediate superior Tushan Qiluo, Wen Ma was so sad that he wanted to cry but had no tears.
Wen Ma walked in with the little fox girl, who was in charge of taking notes while he was in charge of the interrogation. In fact, the little fox girl, who was in charge of the hall, should not have been responsible for taking notes. However, after the combat team learned who his prisoner was today, they all declined. Only the beautiful and kind-hearted little fox girl was willing to take the risk to take notes for him. When the little fox girl agreed, Wen Ma almost hugged her thighs and cried.
Wen Ma, who had returned to reality from his memories, looked at the face of Tushan Qiluo sitting opposite him, and his legs began to tremble unconsciously. So he said, "Boss..."
Unexpectedly, Tushan Qiluo, who had been expressionless on the opposite side, suddenly made a "tsk" sound, then frowned and looked at Wen Ma: "Do you usually interrogate prisoners with this attitude? So unprofessional!"
"Of course not!" Wen Ma hastily denied. It was at this moment that he suddenly realized that this was no longer a simple interrogation, but had become a performance assessment by Team Leader Tushan. If there was even a little bit that made Team Leader Tushan dissatisfied, his performance this month might be in jeopardy!
Thinking of this, Wen Ma couldn't help swallowing his saliva, then he put on a posture, and asked in a serious manner as usual: "Name."
Team leader Tushan was very cooperative: "Tushan Qiluo."
"Do you know why you are here?"
"Know."
Facing Tushan Qiluo's cooperation, Wen Ma breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the team leader had no intention of making things difficult for him, so he felt relieved and asked, "Since you know, why don't you quickly explain why you want to go to Mount Xumi?"
However, it was this sentence that made Tushan Qiluo frown again. She even asked the little fox girl beside her to borrow paper and pen, then lowered her head and carefully wrote something down, and then continued to cooperate with Wenma's questions, as if nothing had happened.
Wenma: Oops.
In the subsequent interrogation, Tushan Qiluo still behaved very cooperatively, but from time to time she would lower her head and write a few words on a piece of paper after Wen Ma finished asking a question.
When the interrogation was over, Wen Ma almost didn't remember what he had asked. His attention was all on the notes Tushan Qiluo was taking with her head down, but he didn't feel comfortable asking Tushan Qiluo directly.
So he could only say to Tushan Qiluo with despair: "Go back and wait for notification. The organization will inform you of the handling method later."
Tushan Qiluo nodded and left the interrogation room. Wen Ma, who remained in the interrogation room, was covered in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Wen Ma thought: "This is not an interrogation of Team Leader Tushan, this is simply torture of me!"
But Wenma’s Good Friday has just begun.
The next person to come in was the Dragon Girl, who was said to be Lord Yinglong's cousin.
The dragon girl was obviously not someone to be trifled with. As soon as she sat down, she asked a barrage of questions, "What's wrong with your investigation bureau? My son was kidnapped, so is there anything wrong with me going to save him? You are incompetent and don't go to save him. You can't delay the family members from saving themselves. If something really happens, can you bear the responsibility?"
Wen Ma must first calm the suspect down, but he just opened his mouth and said, "Listen to me..."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Dragon Girl: "Stop talking. What's your work number? I want to complain about you harassing the victim's family." The Dragon Girl even stood up excitedly.
Wen Ma was overwhelmed: "Don't get excited, we just want to understand the situation at that time."
"What is there to know? Did it cause secondary harm to the victim? If you harass us again, don't blame me for suing you. Go to the seafood market and ask around. All the seafood wholesale in the city is our family's business. I have plenty of time and money to sue you. I..."
Then Wen Ma was inexplicably scolded by the Dragon Girl for half an hour, and finally he begged for mercy and asked everyone to send the Dragon Girl away.
Wen Ma opened the door of the interrogation room and respectfully escorted Long Nu out, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Take care..."
The dragon girl snorted and walked away in her high heels without looking back.
As soon as the dragon girl left, Wen Ma, who had been able to force out a smile, suddenly collapsed: "I'm so tired. I just interrogated two people and it felt like I had been working for a month."
However, just as he turned around and was about to go back to the interrogation room, he turned around and saw Baihua leaning against the door of the interrogation room. Wenma was frightened and said, "What are you doing!"
Baihua looked at Wenma with a smile: "I came here to assist in the investigation, but I didn't expect to see you being tortured by the dragon girl." She patted Wenma's shoulder and said sympathetically, "I didn't expect Yinglong to give this difficult task to you. He must be too lazy to write the report."
Wen Ma heard this and sighed resignedly: "Who said it wasn't true?"
Baihua unexpectedly cooperated during the interrogation, but the problem was that she always went off topic.
"The person who kidnapped Aren is a girl named Miroku. Speaking of Miroku, she and a man named Naga had a love story in front of me."
Wen Ma was not interested in these love stories, but the little fox girl who was taking notes suddenly stopped writing. She raised her head and said to Baihua, "Tell us more about it!"
In this way, during the one-hour interrogation, the little fox girl and the flower fairy were eating melons for thirty minutes, and the two were arguing about whether Naga really loved Maitreya for another twenty minutes. Only the opening ten minutes were spent by Wen Ma conducting the questioning.
Wenma: I’m tired, let’s destroy it.
In short, after a busy morning, Wen Ma didn't get any useful information. Then, after lunch, the interrogation room welcomed a group of new guests.
The leader of the combat team, Lu Qingzhou, took the lead. Wen Ma respected Lu Qingzhou very much, and Lu Qingzhou also cooperated very well. He insisted that he was going to catch illegal immigrants, and he acted without permission from the opened gate because of the emergency, and he took the initiative to provide the video shot on his mobile phone as evidence.
Following Lu Qingzhou was the honest Junfang, who also answered whatever was asked. Thanks to the cooperation of Lu Qingzhou and Junfang, Wen Ma's difficult work finally made some progress, and Wen Ma, who had originally lost hope in life, felt a little warm.
However, this warmth was quickly extinguished by the third guest.
The third guest was the Rain Master who came strolling over. He put his hands behind his back like an old cadre inspecting work, and greeted Wen Ma warmly after entering the door. The Rain Master didn't even need Wen Ma to interrogate him, he just opened his mouth and started to speak: "Actually, we went to rescue Lu Ren that day..."
Basically, Master Yu can be said to have said everything he knows. But the problem is that Master Yu's focus is wrong. He almost wrote a "Quick Manual for Being a Divine Man" to summarize in detail his experience of pretending to be a divine man in the Ashura tribe, but he didn't mention how he got to the Ashura tribe.
Seeing that he was straying too far off the topic, Wen Ma would always speak up appropriately, trying to use a few questions to get Yu Shi to shift the topic to before they went to Mount Xumi, rather than after they arrived at Mount Xumi.
Every time this happened, Yu Shi would always apologize with a smile and say, "Sorry, I got off topic. But this incident did leave a deep impression on me, after all..." and then he would continue to summarize his experience as a charlatan.
Admit your mistakes humbly and resolutely refuse to change.
After several attempts, Wen Ma gave up struggling: "Forget it, I hope I can get some useful information from the next person."
However, things went against one's wishes. The person standing behind the Rain Master was Wind Master, a well-known sinister man in the Immigrant Household Investigation Bureau.
As soon as he entered the interrogation room, he took the initiative and walked behind Miss Fox to check her transcript. This was of course not allowed, and Wen Ma would definitely speak out to stop him: "Master Fengbo, the suspect is not allowed to read the transcript."
Feng Bo, who was reading the transcript, looked up as if disturbed: "Ah, sorry, I'm just a little concerned about your interrogation method."
Wen Ma was stunned for a moment: "What's the problem?"
Feng Bo pointed at Tushan Qiluo's record and said, "Here, when you asked Team Leader Tushan, 'Why don't you quickly explain why you went to Mount Xumi', it seems like you were trying to induce a confession."
Wen Ma was startled and quickly looked in the direction of Feng Bo's finger, then he suddenly realized: "No wonder Team Leader Tushan frowned at that time."
So Wen Ma humbly asked Feng Bo for advice: "What else?"
Feng Bo also seemed very patient. He carefully pointed out to Wen Ma one by one: "Here, here, and here." While Wen Ma was studying, the little fox girl also followed Feng Bo's instructions and adjusted the contents of the transcript.
When they turned to the page of records about Lu Qingzhou and Jun Fang, Feng Bo frowned imperceptibly. Then, while Wen Ma was trying to figure out the knowledge he had just taught him, he silently guided the little fox girl to delete some of the records that were not favorable to them.
This time, the inquiry ended in a happy atmosphere for both the host and the guests. Wen Ma even stood up to see Feng Bo off: "Master Feng Bo, thank you so much."
Feng Bo adjusted his glasses and said, "You're welcome. There is one last thing you need to remember. During the interrogation, never let your suspect see your records."
Feng Bo had a hint, but Wen Ma didn't notice it at all. He even said heartlessly, "Okay!"
Then, Wen Ma returned to the interrogation room and looked at the transcript in the little fox girl's hand happily, reviewed the knowledge taught by Professor Feng Bo, and suddenly turned to the page about Lu Qingzhou and Jun Fang.
Wen Ma: “…” So this is what Lord Fengbo meant by his last sentence.
After working hard for an afternoon, we are back to the time before liberation overnight.
It was almost time to get off work, with only ten minutes left until five o'clock, but Lu Wu pushed open the door of the interrogation room at this time: "Hurry up, you only have ten minutes, I will never work overtime!"
Wen Ma thought it was just an exaggeration, but he didn't expect that when the time came to 17:00:00, Lu Wu, who was answering the question, suddenly stood up and said, "I'm off work." He didn't even finish his sentence halfway.
Then he left the interrogation room without looking back, as if staying for one more second would be disrespectful to his get off work.
After a day of torture, Wen Ma finally had enough. He angrily broke his pen and shouted, "Why are all the people in our company so weird?"
Just as Wenma started to bang his head against the table, there was a soft knock on the door.
It was Lu Ren. He came here with the Qilin cub after get off work.
The door was actually open, and Lu Ren knocked on it to show politeness. Then, after Wen Ma said "Come in", Lu Ren brought the Qilin cub in and sat down obediently.
During the questioning process, Lu Ren and Qilinzi answered the questions clearly and cooperatively, which made Wen Ma almost cry while hugging Lu Ren.
Fumima: "Wow, Jin is such an angel!"
Finally, based on the transcripts compiled by Wen Ma and the video footage from the interrogation room (yes, there was a video footage in the interrogation room), Si Yuan issued a penalty notice for this incident a few days later:
Rain Master and Wind Master: No regrets, deduct 200 years of salary.
Tushan Qiluo and Baihua: Your attitude of admitting mistakes is acceptable, but you will be deducted 50 years of salary.
Lu Wu: Your attitude in admitting your mistakes is terrible. You will be deducted a hundred years of holidays.
Lu Qingzhou: There are legitimate reasons, but the procedures are not in compliance, so ten years’ salary will be deducted.
Junfang: Since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, ten years’ salary .
Dragon girl and Qilin cub: Since they are the victims' families, we will forgive them and punish them with one month of compulsory labor.
Lu Ren: The victim himself will not have his salary deducted. He needs to compensate for the damaged vajra, which is equivalent to working for the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau for 100,000 years without compensation. However, since the employee helped to quell the unrest in Mount Xumi, this fee will be paid by the Foreign Household Investigation Bureau.
After this notice was issued , the Foreign Household Registration Bureau was in an uproar.
"Have you heard? That human brought Master Yu and his men to quell the unrest on Mount Xumi."
"Have you heard? That human single-handedly quelled the unrest on Mount Sumeru."
"Have you heard? That human rushed up Mount Xumi with a kitchen knife and chopped down the entire mountain with one stroke."
Maybe this is what is called artistic processing.
As for other people, although a lot of their wages were deducted, they have worked for thousands of years and have accumulated a lot of savings, so they have not been seriously hurt by these wages.
What really hurt them was that Yinglong openly played the immature scenes of everyone captured by his law enforcement camera at the morning meeting.
Lu Ren was not there during the morning meeting, but Baihua said that half of the wall of the conference room was blown off on the spot by the furious Tushan Qiluo.
The days were full of ups and downs, and the afternoon sun was shining on Lu Ren. He took a deep breath and sighed, "It's so good to be home."
