Newspaper Boy

Chapter 213 Pleading Guilty

Chapter 497 Confession

In the early morning, Zhang Yuanqing sat at the dining table, enjoying the breakfast prepared by the Bunny Girl.

He tilted his head, clamping his phone between his ear and shoulder, while slicing grilled sausage and soaking fried dough sticks in soy milk.

"Haven't you finished the mission yet? Do you need my help?" Zhang Yuanqing complained repeatedly, "If you don't come home, I'll find someone new."

For a young man who has just started dating a girlfriend and is in the stage of savoring the taste of pleasure, nothing is more tormenting than the absence of good and evil retribution.

Guan Ya chuckled, "You can just practice your rusty skills."

She wasn't worried at all that Yuanshi Tianzun would be out flirting. This kid had a good family background and was handsome. Was it difficult to find a girlfriend?

Not at all.

But it was indeed not until that night that he transformed from a boy into a man amidst her welcoming arms.

Guan Ya had long seen through Yuanshi. He was optimistic and cheerful on the outside, but in reality, he was lonely. He could act in social situations, but he wouldn't spend energy dealing with girls.

He didn't have a girlfriend before because he didn't want to find one at all.

"To tell you the truth, self-sufficiency is much more comfortable than rolling around in bed with you," Zhang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and hummed twice.

Guan Ya giggled, "Then do it yourself a few more times... I'm done with breakfast. I have a meeting later. This guy is quite difficult to deal with. If I can't catch him within a week, I'll lead the team back to Songhai."

The success rate of capturing wanted criminals has never been high. Unless they are directly located and surrounded, most evil professionals can rely on their skills to leave calmly in the official encirclement and suppression.

Evil professionals have always been difficult to catch.

This time, Guan Ya is going to catch a Mist Master. The wanted criminal is cruel, kills for pleasure, and attacks official members when his moral value is not enough.

This time, he committed crimes in Jiangnan Province and was discovered by official Players from the Hangzhou branch.

Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone, and before he could put it down, Fu Qingyang's call came in.

He answered the phone: "Boss?"

"The fact that you killed Cai Longshen has been exposed. This morning, the investigator from headquarters questioned Huang Taiji with the Tiger Seal. I received news that the investigation team is already on its way to Songhai."

Fu Qingyang's words hit Zhang Yuanqing's heart like a heavy hammer.

It just so happened that something went wrong when I was about to save the Devil's Eye... He put down his knife and fork, his expression solemn: "What should I do?"

Because he had a pre-plan and was mentally prepared, although he was caught off guard, he was not too flustered.

"Cooperate with the investigation," Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice:

"I said, this matter can be haggled and gambled, but you can't show too much extremity, don't let the elders of the headquarters think you have rebellious bones, you just need to be patient and cooperate with the headquarters investigation, and leave the rest to me."

Zhang Yuanqing gave an "um" and then asked:

"Is Huang Taiji okay?"

Fu Qingyang said lightly: "He is the grandson of Grand Elder Dihong, what can happen to him."

At most, he will be criticized and given a demerit.

The real problem is Yuanshi.

Although it is not illegal for a mentally ill person to kill someone, this is only for civilians of the same level.

If you kill the Crown Prince, no matter if you are mentally ill or not, even if you are an idiot, you will be humanely destroyed.

Yuanshi Tianzun killed the Crown Prince.

As one of the ten elders of the headquarters, will Elder Cai easily let go of the person who killed his grandson?

Although Fu Qingyang said on the surface that he could haggle, how could things be so simple.

After ending the call, Zhang Yuanqing put down his phone and continued to eat slowly.

After finishing breakfast, he returned to his room, opened the mobile phone chat software, quit the "Protagonist Squad Struggle Group", and deleted friends such as "Xiao Yuan" and "King of Fear".

Then pull out the SIM card and replace it with a new phone.

Then put the old mobile phone and the Cat King speaker into the backpack and put them into Little Red Riding Hood's space.

After dealing with the two items, he put the Silver Yao Princess, the Greedy God General and the Hundred-Man Slayer three Yin corpses into the inside of the red hat, leaving only the Blood Rose.

The headquarters cannot be allowed to know that he owns three level six Yin corpses for the time being, the Wanbaowu incident in Huadu has not passed yet.

Then, Zhang Yuanqing came to the next door and entered the study.

He saw Qian Gongzi sitting behind the desk, frowning and thinking, and said:

"Sister Guan Ya is still on a mission, don't let her know yet, otherwise she will be distracted."

"This is not a question of whether we say it or not," Fu Qingyang skipped this topic and said meaningfully: "Deal with things that should be dealt with."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded: "Everything has been dealt with."

Fu Qingyang slowly said:

"The people from the Investigation Department will come to you later, do you know the Investigation Department?"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. The Investigation Department is an inspection and supervision agency established by the headquarters, which restricts major branches. It has extremely high power.

The head of the Investigation Department is Grand Elder of the White Tiger Army, and the deputy head is Elder Cai of the Water God Palace.

Each of the ten elders of the headquarters holds great power, and their power cannot be compared with the elders of the branches.

If the Five Elements Alliance is compared to a Jianghu gang, the ten elders of the headquarters are the ten major factions that divide power, and the branch elders are the little brothers of the ten elders.

For example, Luo Shen, the Water God Palace elder of the Songhai branch, is from the Cai elder faction.

"Your only advantage is your talent," Fu Qingyang said: "I will try to intercede for you and strive for a lighter sentence."

If it were an ordinary genius without a strong background, this level would definitely not be passed.

As one of the ten elders of the headquarters, Elder Cai can easily deal with a genius. No one will confront the ten elders for an insignificant person.

Including the ten elders themselves.

But Yuanshi Tianzun is different. His name is too loud. Now that he is level six, Dominator is just his bottom line, and the qualifications of the Alliance Leader are no longer a joke.

Even the ten elders, under the circumstances that Yuanshi Tianzun does not seek death, it is difficult to deal with him based on their own preferences.

But Yuanshi Tianzun killed Cai Longshen after all, and it is almost impossible to be safe and sound.

"Lighter sentence..." Zhang Yuanqing shrugged: "If I'm pushed too hard, I'll quit the Five Elements Alliance and work for the boss in the White Tiger Guard in the future."

"Don't say angry words," Fu Qingyang said coldly.

The two didn't communicate anymore and waited in silence.

The sun gradually became stronger, and the heat of the summer was as hot as summer. The gardener was pruning the lush branches in the garden and salvaging the fallen leaves in the pool.

Near noon, the Bunny Girl knocked on the door of the study.

"Young master, the investigator from headquarters is here."

Fu Qingyang nodded slightly: "Let them in."

The Bunny Girl retreated, and after a while, led three men in suits back, a middle-aged man and two young men.

The middle-aged man took out his ID and bowed:

"Elder Fu, by order of Minister Cai, I will take Yuanshi Tianzun back to Beijing for questioning. This is the headquarters' detention document."

"Take him to Beijing?" Fu Qingyang frowned, glanced at the ID, which had his position and Spirit Realm ID written on it.

After taking the folder and reading it carefully, "I understand."

He returned the document to the other party and looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "Cooperate with the headquarters investigation."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuanqing was docile and respectful, looking at the middle-aged man, "Do I need to wear handcuffs?"

The middle-aged man looked at the well-known Yuanshi Tianzun, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. According to rumors, this proud son of heaven was unruly, killed colleagues regardless of discipline, and confronted the headquarters regardless of the organization.

He did this in the dungeon, the middle-aged man was not surprised at all. He originally thought that when he saw himself and others coming over, Yuanshi Tianzun would show an unruly posture and refuse to cooperate.

Unexpectedly, he was surprisingly docile.

"There is no need for handcuffs, but Elder Cai ordered that your residence should be carefully checked," the middle-aged man smiled slightly.

"It's next door," Zhang Yuanqing said without changing his expression.

Fu Qingyang looked at the Bunny Girl, "Take them over."

The two young men left with the Bunny Girl.

Fu Qingyang watched the three leave the study, he looked at the middle-aged man and said:

"Elder Cai asked you, a Saint, to come here, are you expecting Yuanshi Tianzun to resist?"

The middle-aged man smiled and responded flawlessly: "Who knows, I'm just following orders from my superiors."

Half an hour later, the two young men returned to the study and shook their heads at their superiors.

The middle-aged man immediately said:

"Elder Fu, then I won't bother you. Yuanshi Tianzun, come with us."

Zhang Yuanqing looked at Fu Qingyang, who said lightly: "Remember what I said."

Cooperate with the investigation, don't let the headquarters think that I have rebellious bones... Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and smiled:

"I hope there are no Manchu Qing's ten tortures in the headquarters' interrogation room."

........

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yuanqing arrived in Beijing by private plane.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was taken directly to a special car and sent to the office building of the Investigation Department.

In the interrogation room, Zhang Yuanqing sat on the interrogation chair, with a bright white light and a monitoring probe overhead, and the long table in front of him was empty.

The interrogation room was not big, only him.

In the silent waiting, the door of the interrogation room was "clicked" open, and an old man in a black robe walked in, followed by an assistant holding a tray.

The old man in black robe had a pale face and no beard, his hair was gray, and there were wrinkles all over the corners of his eyes and forehead, and his expression was cold.

He pulled out a long chair and sat down, and the assistant respectfully placed the tray on the table.

The old man in black robe uncovered the red silk cloth, held the Tiger Seal, looked at Zhang Yuanqing on the interrogation chair, and said indifferently:

"Spirit Realm ID!"

A terrible pressure came over him, accompanied by a tiger roar. In the sea of consciousness, the majestic white tiger appeared again.

A round of dark moon emerged, casting a cold light on Zhang Yuanqing's soul.

"Yuanshi Tianzun," he maintained a pale face.

"In the dungeon of the Five Elements Chaos, a psychic turned against the evil camp for you, is there such a thing?" the old man in black robe asked.

"Yes, but her identity..."

Zhang Yuanqing was about to explain, but was interrupted coldly by the old man in black robe:

"You only need to answer yes or no, nothing else needs to be said."

Zhang Yuanqing had no choice but to shut up.

The old man in black robe asked again: "Did you kill Cai Longshen?"

"Yes..."

"When you killed him, were you conscious?"

"At that time I..."

The old man in black robe interrupted again, sternly: "Answer yes or no."

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the Tiger Seal, "Yes..."

Under the deterrence of the Tiger Seal, he could not make fierce rebuttals, which would make people see that he was immune to the deterrence of the Tiger Seal.

The old man in black robe nodded in satisfaction, put away the Tiger Seal, and said to the assistant:

"Turn off the surveillance."

The assistant nodded and left the interrogation room.

A dozen seconds later, he returned to the interrogation room with a document in his hand.

The old man in black robe sat upright behind the table and signaled the assistant to send the document over with his eyes.

The document was placed in front of him, and Zhang Yuanqing fixed his eyes on it. This was a confession.

The content is that Yuanshi Tianzun colluded with evil professionals, and was dissatisfied with the distribution of spoils, and took advantage of stealing the power of the boss to kill him.

The content did not mention Cai Longshen's attempt to swallow all the spoils, nor did it mention this fuse, nor did it mention that he swallowed the boss's soul at the risk of saving his companions, which led to mental disorders.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

What's more, Cai Longshen was afraid of war, watched his colleagues die, and shamelessly participated in the distribution of spoils afterwards.

The focus is only: Yuanshi Tianzun was dissatisfied with the distribution of spoils and killed people in anger.

"I won't sign it, you are wronging me," Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath: "I want to see Fu Qingyang."

He suddenly realized that the only person he could rely on in the entire officialdom was Qian Gongzi.

The old man in black robe said lightly:

"He has no right to participate in the affairs of the Investigation Department, sign it."

As soon as the voice fell, a clear stream of water swept out of his sleeve, pressing on Zhang Yuanqing's back with a crash.

"Bang!"

His face was directly pressed against the horizontal board of the interrogation chair.

This is a Dominator, a Dominator of the Water Ghost profession.

The flowing water was attached to Zhang Yuanqing's back, hands and feet, like possession, manipulating him to raise his hand.

The assistant handed over the prepared pen.

Zhang Yuanqing uncontrollably held the pen...

His pupils shrank suddenly, bursting out with intense ferocity. He opened the item bar, his eyes falling on the Sacrificial Heaven Set and the "Five Elements Power" experience card.

But Fu Qingyang's words floated into his mind again.

——Don't let the headquarters see that I have rebellious bones.

Standing in the position of the elders of the headquarters, the case itself is not important. It was Elder Cai's grandson who died, not their grandson.

But his attitude is very important.

If Yuanshi Tianzun is a person who obeys orders, then even if he really killed Cai Longshen because of a conflict of interest, the elders of the headquarters will protect him.

On the contrary, if Yuanshi Tianzun is an uncontrollable person, then he must be pressed under the Five Elements Mountain to grind off his edges and corners and rebellious bones.

Let him turn from the Great Sage Equaling Heaven into the Fighting Buddha.

The thinking of superiors is different from that of ordinary people, and justice and justice are never the first priority...

Elder Cai is also a superior, he wants to anger me and force out my rebellious bones, just like when I killed Wei Yuanzhou, he wants the elders of the headquarters to see my uncontrollability...

Zhang Yuanqing instantly understood Fu Qingyang's reminder.

The headquarters wants to punish me, not only look at the confession, now is not the best time for me to resist, I can't fall into Elder Cai's trap... Zhang Yuanqing suppressed the anger in his heart and closed the item bar.

He gave up resistance and let the old man in black robe manipulate him to sign the confession.

Yuanshi Tianzun

As the four words were written, the water attached to his back rolled up the document and returned to the old man in black robe.

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man in black robe, he silently got up, picked up the confession and left.

........

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

On the official forum, the post about Yuanshi Tianzun skipping two levels was silently deleted by the management.

Another post was marked red and pinned to the top, appearing in the most conspicuous position:

#Yuanshi Tianzun killed his colleagues in the dungeon due to dissatisfaction with the distribution of spoils. In addition, the Investigation Department also found that he had a close relationship with evil professions and has now been arrested by the headquarters#

The post caused an earthquake-like effect on the official forum.

Countless official Players opened the post in confusion and astonishment and read the content.

The post briefly stated the course of events and posted Yuanshi Tianzun's confession.

After reading the post, the official members of the major branches were still a little unbelievable.

A few days ago, they were still immersed in Yuanshi Tianzun's great achievements. As soon as they turned around, this proud son of heaven was knocked down from the altar and became a despicable villain who killed his colleagues?

"Is there something wrong? I don't believe Yuanshi Tianzun would do such a thing."

"Uh, I did hear that Cai Longshen has returned to the Spirit Realm."

"There is a confession, can it be fake?"

"This is not the first time Yuanshi Tianzun has killed a colleague. He is really bold. Cai Longshen is Elder Cai's grandson."

"You are a fool upstairs. Which branch are you from? Report your name."

"Yuanshi Tianzun is finished. If heaven wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy."

"I don't believe Yuanshi Tianzun would do such a thing, damn headquarters."

The number of replies to the post skyrocketed.

For a time, the private chat groups and office groups of the major branches of the Five Elements Alliance forwarded the post, and the topic exploded.

Most people were skeptical about this, but the confession made them speechless, so that a small number of schadenfreude became the main stream that actively commented.

Creating an appearance of polarized reputation and the collapse of the persona.

........

Beijing.

Five-star hotel, in the suite.

Ling Jun looked through the comment area and took a breath of cold air, "Yuanshi confessed? This doesn't look like him."

Fu Qingyang sat upright on a single sofa and said lightly:

"It shows that he listened to my words. Elder Cai's goal was not achieved, so he posted to destroy his image and create public opinion, but the other elders of the headquarters will not let him do this, and the post will be deleted soon."

Ling Jun was worried:

"Elder Cai is going to trample his reputation to the ground, and even if he mentions "mental disorder" later, it will not be clear."

As he spoke, he flipped through the page and found that the post had been deleted.

"It was really deleted," Ling Jun put down his phone.

"The death penalty cannot be imposed on Yuanshi based on Cai Longshen's death alone. Elder Cai should start from colluding with evil professions later," Fu Qingyang glanced at his watch, "Let's go, follow me to visit your grandfather."

He wanted to visit the nine elders one by one and operate for Yuanshi Tianzun.

........

ps: Fix the wrong words later.
