Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 105 Dessert
As soon as Tang Zheng opened his mouth, Xu Qingyan, who had retreated behind him just now, took out two small porcelain bottles from his arms with an expressionless face and handed them to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng took the two small black porcelain bottles, held them in his hands, and shook them in front of Ning Mo's eyes: "Instructor Ning, do you know what these are?"
Ning Mo's eyes flickered and he shook his head.
Tang Zheng looked into Ning Mo's eyes and suddenly shouted, "Nonsense, with your experience, Instructor Ning, how could you not recognize this? This is a must-have medicine for the city guards and the military intelligence camp, a truth serum. Oh, yes... In your jargon, this has another name, which you may be more familiar with, called 'smart water', right?"
"It means that after drinking this medicine, you will be so 'smart' that you will answer any question and answer truthfully! What a good name! It really fits the saying that a wise man is a wise man. Don't ask for trouble!"
Tang Zheng's words made Ning Mo's face look a little gloomy, and the audience below the stage were also talking about it.
"'Veritaserum'? There is such a thing?"
"Damn it, I always thought this was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. The city guards and the intelligence camp are really shady enough to come up with something like this."
"'Smart Water'... it sounds like such a mocking name."
"From Tang Zheng's tone, could it be that Instructor Ning Mo used to be in the city guards , or in the intelligence camp?"
The students in the audience were discussing heatedly, but Tang Zheng was still staring at Ning Mo with a smile on his face. "How about this, Instructor Ning? Drink this little dessert I prepared for you, and then answer a few questions for me in front of everyone, and you will be completely cleared of suspicion. You are not willing to do such a simple and easy thing?"
Ning Mo stared at the two small medicine bottles in Tang Zheng's hands. His throat felt a little dry and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
"Just one word, drink or not?!" Tang Zheng stared into Ning Mo's eyes and suddenly shouted loudly.
Tang Xiaotang, wearing a small bell, immediately echoed, "Coach Ning, drink!"
Then, some students of the Potential Dragon level who had been moved by Tang Zheng’s speech also started to roar together.
“Drink, drink, drink!”
The entire venue was suddenly filled with uniform shouts of "Hurrah", which were powerful and melodious.
Faced with pressure from all the students, Ning Mo remained silent.
Tang Zheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, Instructor Ning, I didn't expect you to have the guts to kill someone but not the guts to drink a little dessert. Are you afraid that I'll poison the bottle? It doesn't matter. There's a saying in my hometown, drink first to show respect. How about I drink a bottle first to show you?"
After saying that, Tang Zheng snapped his fingers in front of everyone, and with a "pop" sound, one of the small bottles was immediately flicked open by him. Tang Zheng raised his hand and neck, and actually drank one of the bottles of smart water in one breath.
Not only did he finish drinking the bottle of smart water, but he also turned the bottle over in a very heroic manner, with the mouth of the bottle facing downwards, and shook it vigorously downwards to indicate that there was not a drop of liquid left in the bottle.
"As the saying goes, the deeper the feelings, the more they can be swallowed. What do you think, Instructor Ning? My feelings are deep enough. I have proved that there is no poison in this smart water. Now I have to prove its authenticity. We don't look at advertisements, but at the efficacy. Come on, my dear audience friends, I will randomly pick a beautiful girl, you ask questions and I will answer them, and let's see if what I said is true." Tang Zheng said as he randomly picked a girl sitting in the front row.
The entire audience was completely stunned by Tang Zheng's sudden turn of events.
The prisoner hadn't even had time to drink the smart water and truth serum that he had gotten, but Tang Zheng drank it all in one gulp. What a ridiculous thing!
The girl that Tang Zheng pointed at pointed at herself in a silly way. When she saw Tang Zheng nod, she stood up, tilted her head and thought for a long time, then said timidly, "But...but, I don't know what to ask!"
Having just finished a bottle of smart water, Tang Zheng's eyes were a little scatterbrained and his voice was a little trembling, but his thoughts were still very clear: "Ask anything you want, ask questions that everyone will know if I'm telling the truth, and that I'm not usually good at answering myself."
Tang Zheng’s answer made the girl even more confused.
Is there such a question? You can tell whether the answer is true or not as soon as you hear it, and you would never answer it yourself normally?
The girl stood there for a long time, not thinking of what to ask. However, Li Wenqi, a senior who was sitting behind her and was fascinated by Tang Zheng during the inscription ceremony, could not help herself and stood up to ask loudly on behalf of the girl: "Well, Tang Zheng, let me ask you, do you have a girlfriend?"
Tang Zheng was called out by Li Wenqi. He wanted to think of an answer, but he didn't expect his mouth to be out of control and he spoke directly: "Of course, no!"
Li Wenqi was delighted when he heard this. It seemed that this smart water was effective. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued to ask: "Then... why didn't it work?"
Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this question. He felt something was wrong, but he seemed to be completely unable to stop himself from talking: "Because I haven't met the type I like. The type I like is someone with big breasts and long legs, a thin waist and fair skin, who is gentle and soft and easy to push down. And, well, she has to be an adult!"
Tang Zheng blurted out a long list of his standards for choosing a partner. Li Wenqi subconsciously lowered her head to look at her chest, but... what she saw was her toes. Her heart suddenly sank.
The rest of the audience in the audience was immediately excited. The atmosphere in the venue, which was originally very solemn, immediately went completely awry, and everyone was laughing so hard that they were bent over.
Following Li Wenqi, countless students stood up and frantically asked Tang Zheng all kinds of questions, of course most of them were girls.
"Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng, are you a virgin?"
"yes!"
"Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng, what kind of personality do you like in a girl?"
"As long as the breasts are big, it's all right!"
"Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng, what do you think is your greatest strength?"
“He’s handsome!”
…
In this way, the venue was like a question-and-answer variety show. The audience kept asking questions and Tang Zheng kept answering them, and everyone was having a great time.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Tang Zheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his hand to indicate that he was about to be played into trouble. He quickly stopped everyone from continuing to ask him all kinds of questions, the answers to which even he felt would be extremely embarrassing.
Li Xiaoren was fed up with the farce and made a gesture to stop it. Finally, the place gradually quieted down.
Tang Zheng took a few breaths and said to Ning Mo beside him with a smile: "How about it, Instructor Ning, look at this bottle of smart water, it's not poisonous and has a very good therapeutic effect . Why, you still don't want to drink it to prove your innocence?"
Ning Mo remained silent.
Seeing Ning Mo's reaction, the students in the audience had already highly trusted that he was the real murderer. Everyone glared at him, but he just refused to speak. He neither drank the smart water nor admitted that he was the real murderer.
As an instructor, Tang Zheng couldn't force-feed him smart words in public. After all, this was an academy, not a city guard or an intelligence camp.
Things seem to be in a dilemma again.
Tang Zheng continued to ask: "By the way, taking advantage of this great opportunity, Instructor Ning, don't you have a special question you want to ask me?"
When Ning Mo heard Tang Zheng's words, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't speak.
Tang Huo smiled lightly, not caring about Ning Mo's reaction. Instead, he turned to Xu Qingyan behind him and said, "If Instructor Ning doesn't want to ask, Qingyan, then you ask for him!"
The students in the audience were somewhat confused about Tang Zheng's behavior. Could it be that he knew what the question was that Ning Mo didn't want to ask? How could he let his friend ask the question on his behalf?
In contrast, Xu Qingyan was very calm. He nodded, walked between Ning Mo and Tang Zheng, faced Tang Zheng, and asked directly in a clear and loud voice, "Tang Zheng, are you from Yingshan?!"
