Chapter 994 - Luo Zongren Speaks (1/2)

Zhou Qi's interrogation had been going on for nearly 26 hours already. Luo Zongren's constant screams in the basement went from loud and clear to feeble.

Sometimes, an interrogation would take several days or even several weeks due to the requirement of human rights. The interrogators could only use methods such as not letting the criminals sleep or starving them slowly so they would break down. Such methods were also very effective, but it would take slightly longer to work.

As for the crueler torture methods, they would basically only last a day or two before speaking.

For Luo Zongren to be able to endure for 26 hours, he was an extremely determined person.

During this time, Luo Zongren's screams were even heard in the other basement levels where other spies and officials unrelated to the case were held. His screams were so horrific that everyone started feeling fearful and uneasy.

As a result, while Luo Zongren was still enduring his torture, the people from the other floors confessed before they were interrogated. This was really unexpected.

During these 26 hours, Zhou Qi only slept for three hours. For the rest of the time, he did not say anything and just kept thinking of ways to torture Luo Zongren without asking a single question.

Several times, Ren Xiaosu felt that Luo Zongren was almost close to speaking, but Zhou Qi did not give him a chance to do so.

At some point, Ren Xiaosu even thought Zhou Qi might be planning to silence the suspect.

Luo Zongren really wanted to debate Zhou Qi. He knew a person like him must have his own logic in an argument. It did not matter whether they were mature or not, such people were completely self-absorbed in their own world.

This self-proclaimed intelligent criminal had laid low in Luoyang City for two years and meticulously planned a grand murder case. Actually, he was very anguished and wanted to pour his heart out to others. He wanted to tell them how great he was, or perhaps he wanted to kill himself so he could put a perfect end to his plan and become a so-called martyr.

However, Zhou Qi did not ask him anything, nor did he allow him to die.

During the break, only Luo Zongren and the thick scent of blood remained in the basement. Zhou Qi walked to the neighborhood's garden and lit up a cigarette as he thought silently.

Luo Lan asked, ”How are things? Based on your experience, have you made any progress?”

Ren Xiaosu listened in. However, he knew Zhou Qi had his own plans, so he did not interfere.

But based on what Luo Lan said, it seemed like Zhou Qi had also carried out a lot of similar work before.

Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, ”The time is not ripe yet. It's been more than 20 hours, but I can feel that he's still putting up a stubborn resistance. So I paused the interrogation for a while because I want to think about how to destroy his self-esteem. A criminal like him thinks he's extraordinary, so we have to completely destroy his self-esteem in order to break him.”

Zhou Qi fell into deep thought again.

Suddenly, Zhou Qi extinguished his cigarette and turned around to walk back to the basement.

Luo Zongren was already on his last gasps. Anyone who saw him would think he was on the verge of death, but Zhou Qi firmly believed he still had the will to resist.

Zhou Qi called over a soldier and said, ”Prepare a rack that you can tie someone on. I'll need it later.”

Then he picked out a steel needle from his toolbox and stabbed it into Luo Zongren's right abdomen.

All of a sudden, Luo Zongren lost control of his bladder and bowels when he got pierced by this needle. This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had seen such a precise technique.

As a matter of fact, Zhou Qi was very professional in this domain.

Luo Zongren roared angrily as though he could not accept the reality of his incontinence.
