Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 418 Interrogation
Faced with the interrogation of the beautiful policewoman, Li Jiu did not answer immediately. He just smiled, calmly took two puffs of his cigarette, and then poked the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the table.
"Beautiful lady, I've already said it. I only know that a group of unidentified bandits attacked our entertainment city, and we later repelled them." Li Jiu said with a smile, looking directly into the bright eyes of policewoman Zhao Ying without dodging. "As for the identities of those people, I really don't know. Since you said they were from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group, then let it be. In addition, let me emphasize again that the bandits all evacuated in the end, and no one was killed."
Hearing Li Jiu's answer, Zhao Ying couldn't help but frown and started to wonder in her heart.
Could it be that this was really just an accidental shooting case with no hidden agenda?
But this obviously didn't make sense. The Blood Wolf Mercenary Group was the only two-star mercenary group in the Fifth District, and was considered a major force in the Fifth District. How could they attack an entertainment city located in a civilian area for no reason? Not to mention, this time it was the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group's leader, Claude, who led the group himself.
What is the motive of the Blood Wolf Mercenaries for doing this? Is there really no deeper interest involved?
"Mr. Li Jiu, do you know why the Blood Wolf Mercenaries attacked you?" Zhao Ying thought for a moment and asked solemnly, "Also, I want to emphasize that this is a police station. Please be serious. You can call me Officer Zhao, or just call me Zhao Ying."
"Haha, okay, Officer Zhao." Li Jiu was slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled: "The gang didn't say why they attacked the entertainment city, so of course I can't know. But I think... maybe they want to rob us."
After hearing Li Jiu's explanation, police officer Liu Feng, who was taking notes nearby, was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Robbery? How is that possible?
Everyone knows that the income of a two-star mercenary group is definitely far more than that of a small entertainment city. How could they possibly be interested in such a small amount of money?
Besides, even if they really wanted to rob, there was absolutely no need for Lieutenant Colonel Claude, the leader of a two-star mercenary group, to lead the team himself!
"Haha, Mr. Li Jiu, I think even you wouldn't agree with this statement, right?" Liu Feng shook his head and laughed, then frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Look... maybe they are afraid that you will lead the Night Rose Team to win the district championship... so they want to kill you and come to trouble you in advance?"
"This..." Li Jiu showed a playful smile, "I didn't expect it, maybe..."
"Ahem! Liu Feng, remember, we are police officers. We must rely on evidence for everything. It's best not to make random guesses." Policewoman Zhao Ying frowned, coughed dryly, and scolded.
"Oh... I understand, Captain." Liu Feng said with a embarrassed smile.
However, although Zhao Ying scolded Liu Feng verbally, her thoughts in her heart were actually the same as Liu Feng's!
After learning that the two parties involved in today's shooting incident were from the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group and the Night Rose Mercenary Group, Zhao Ying immediately thought that the two parties might have clashed over the interests of the God of War Tournament.
However, so far, there is no evidence to show that the incident was really caused by this reason.
While Zhao Ying was thinking secretly, she kept staring at Li Jiu calmly, as if she wanted to find some clues from the expression on his face.
Looking at Li Jiu's smile and calm appearance, there was no sign of him lying at all.
But Zhao Ying always felt that things might not be that simple.
"Mr. Li Jiu, I hope you can sincerely cooperate with us." After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ying said solemnly: "In fact, if it is really the Blood Wolf Mercenaries who took the initiative to pick a fight, you can just tell us directly. In that case, even if someone really died, it can be considered as self-defense, and you don't need to bear much responsibility. It is even possible that we can let you go after we understand the situation."
"But if you continue to refuse to cooperate, we will have no choice but to detain you here. You must think carefully about this, because this may affect the next game of your Night Rose." Zhao Ying said seriously.
After hearing what Zhao Ying said, Li Jiu couldn't help but frowned.
If it is true as the other party said, that being detained here affects the next game, then it will be troublesome.
But now he really couldn't cooperate with them, because once he admitted to killing Claude, it would also bring him great trouble.
"How long can you detain me at most?" Li Jiu suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.
"Permanent detention." Zhao Ying said indifferently.
"Permanently?!" Li Jiu was shocked.
This is too ridiculous, isn't it?!
Originally, Li Jiu thought that in a situation like this where there was no evidence to prove his guilt, the police would at most detain him for 24 hours. Wasn't that how all the police and gangster movies he had seen in the virtual world played out?
"No... Aren't you guys being too cruel? Do you still talk about democracy?" Li Jiu complained with a bitter smile.
"Democracy? Haha..." Policewoman Zhao Ying raised her lips and laughed dryly, "It seems that you haven't realized the seriousness of today's incident."
"What do you mean?" Li Jiu frowned.
"According to the laws of the alliance, although citizens can use mercenary weapons, they are strictly prohibited from abusing firearms. Especially for mercenaries, large-scale armed conflicts are strictly prohibited within the alliance, because this will have an extremely bad impact on the stability and unity within the alliance!" Zhao Ying explained indifferently: "What happened today is already the largest-scale armed conflict in our Fifth District this year, and it also involves two mercenary groups. So, you should know that before this matter is thoroughly investigated, it will not be easily resolved, and you can only leave after the case is clarified."
After listening to Zhao Ying's explanation, Li Jiu was stunned.
Perhaps because he was used to fighting outside the alliance, he did not take today's incident seriously, but he did not expect the result to be so serious.
"Think about it carefully. Once you've thought it over, you can call us anytime." Seeing that Li Jiu's expression had finally become more serious, Zhao Ying couldn't help but secretly rejoice. She stood up calmly, said this, and turned around and left the interrogation room.
