Questioning

The law enforcement team worked very efficiently, and in just one hour, they brought all three people back to the palace.

When they entered the door, according to Thorian's request, Wang Mang arranged for the three of them to have a brief meeting, but did not give them a chance to speak.

Afterwards, the three were taken to different rooms and guarded separately.

Due to the identities of the three people, the law enforcement team did not force them. On the contrary, they treated them with good tea and wine.

The only restriction is that they cannot leave the room and can only wait to be summoned by the young prince.

General Longwei was placed under house arrest in Room No. 1, the city guard commander was placed under house arrest in Room No. 2, and the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was placed under house arrest in Room No. 3.

The three people's rooms were close to each other, separated by only a wall. They could see each other when they went out, but they couldn't talk to each other.

This was a deliberate arrangement by Thorian, because he knew very well that in order to force the truth out of the three old foxes, he would have to take some special measures.

At this moment, in Room No. 1, Block A.

General Long Wei drank his tea calmly, without any nervousness.

He had long expected that he would be interrogated by the young prince and had made sufficient preparations. As long as the other party couldn't find any handle or evidence, they would be unable to do anything to him.

It seemed to him that today's trip was just a formality.

Next door, in room number 2, block A.

The city guard commander also acted nonchalant, as if it had nothing to do with him and he was not concerned about it.

The killer was sent out of West Lucozia and Zhengjun Duncan's body was burned. Even if the law enforcement team turned West Lucozia upside down, they would not be able to find any clues.

Besides, he had already informed General Long Wei. As long as the two of them kept silent and said they knew nothing about the matter, the storm would naturally pass.

Even though the young prince was of noble status, he couldn't just punish them without any witnesses or evidence.

This will only arouse public anger.

On the other side, in room number 3, block A.

Compared to the calmness of General Longwei and the city guard commander, the white-haired Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion was a little restless.

A man was pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his brows full of worry.

Although he was not directly involved in Zhengjun Duncan's death, he was one of the people who knew about it.

The most important thing is that before Zhengjun Duncan disappeared last night, he had dinner with him. This alone is enough to arouse suspicion.

What he is most worried about now is that if the young prince misunderstands and thinks that he was the one who murdered Zhengjun Duncan, that would be troublesome.

"Alas... Why did I end up with such bad luck?"

The more the Grand Secretary of Tianzhang Pavilion thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. If he had known this would be the case, he should not have gotten involved in this mess.

Now the little prince is angry and has even mobilized the law enforcement team. If something is found out, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble if we don't die.

After all, he had been an official for so many years, and he had committed many acts of corruption and abuse of power.

…

At this moment, in a hidden secret room.

Thorian sat quietly, taking in the performance of the three people through the monitoring screen.

General Long Wei and the city guard commander were extremely calm, as if they had expected this.

This is not normal at all.

No one could act so indifferent after being taken away by the law enforcement team.

Either these two people are upright and not afraid of being investigated, or they are fearless.

"Bring General Long Wei here first."

After watching for a while, Thorian suddenly spoke.

"yes!"

Wang Mang, who was standing behind him, responded and left quickly.

Thorian also stood up and returned to the meeting room through the secret passage.

After a while, General Longwei was brought in by Wang Mang.

"This humble general greets the young prince." General Long Wei saluted with his fists clasped.

"Sit down." Thorian nodded.

"Thank you, young prince!" General Long Wei sat down leisurely and calmly.

Wang Mang was pouring tea while keeping a watchful eye.

It is said that General Long Wei has mastered the Iron Courage Kung Fu to such an extreme level that he can easily take the heads of enemy generals from among thousands of soldiers.

Such a strong man would undoubtedly be a huge threat if he turned against us.

"General, do you know why I invited you here?" Thorian asked indifferently.

"I don't know, please give me some advice, young prince." General Longwei looked calm.

"A friend of mine disappeared last night and his whereabouts remain unknown. I suspect he was murdered and am investigating the murderer. I would like to ask, does the general know about this?" Thorian said.

"Young Prince, are you doubting me?" General Long Wei raised his eyebrows.

"According to the investigation, my friend met the general last night and then disappeared. Doesn't the general have anything to say?" Thorian said coldly.

"Young Prince, I am an upright person and would never do such shady things. Besides, Zhengjun Duncan and I have no grudges against each other, so why should I kill him?" General Long Wei retorted.

"I didn't even tell you my friend's name, so how did the general know his name was Zhengjun Duncan?" Thorian suddenly asked.

"I……"

General Long Wei was speechless for a moment, but quickly reacted: "The only person who saw me last night and was friendly with the young prince was Zhengjun Duncan. Could it be that the young prince was not talking about him?"

"It seems that you have investigated it thoroughly."

Thorian suddenly sneered: "General, you should know my temper. If you honestly confess your guilt and tell the truth, I can leave you with an intact body; but if you are stubborn and resist to the end, don't blame me for being cruel! ”

"My Lord, if I am guilty, I will accept the punishment. But before that, please give me some evidence. If you want to convict me based on speculation, I will never accept it. I believe that the people of West Lucozia will not be guilty. Thousands of soldiers will never agree to this!" General Long Wei said forcefully.

"Okay, okay... Since you want to play, I'll accompany you to the end."

Thorian waved his hand and shouted, "Come here, send the general to rest, and ask the city guard to come in and report!" - Ton
