Chapter 52: The Interesting Part Was About to Come (2/2)

Li Zong fished a small bag of bread out of his pocket and handed it to He Zheng. He Zheng, after a brief surprise, took the bread and started eating. Corners of eyes of others involuntarily twitched but all of them pretended not to notice.

The look in He Changchun's eyes grew even deeper and he swallowed back the words that had sprung to the tip of his tongue.

With a bland expression on his face, as if nothing had just happened, Li Zong tapped at the surface of the table. ”Mr. He, I'm sorry to have put you to the bother of making this trip, but there is something we need your help to verify.”

Zu Zhichong volunteered, ”Chief, let me handle this.”

”That won't be necessary.” Li Zong knew Zu Zhichong was worried that, given his relationship with He family, people might make idle talk if he dealt with this matter himself. But Li Zong believed that it was unnecessary for him to stay out of this to avoid arousing suspicions, because he was not going to be partial towards He Changchun.

”Go and get Lin Di of the second group.”

Zu Zhichong hurriedly left. The others went to the Ministry of Supervision.

In the Ministry of Supervision, there were some specifically designated rooms for detention of this kind of ”special” people.

Li Zong led them forward. He Changchun, who had come to SMB immediately after receiving some vague messages, didn't know any details about what had happened.

He Changchun was taken into a room, inside which was a small-scale magic circle. Lin Di, a member of the second action group, was in the middle of the magic circle. He was of extremely yang (Yin and yang are the two opposing principles in nature, the former feminine and negative, the latter masculine and positive) attribute, which meant that, with him standing in the middle of the circle, any common demon would be forced into showing its true features on entering the magic circle.

As an experienced exorcist, He Changchun was fully aware of the function of this magic circle. With a fairly sullen look on his face, he asked, ”Supt. Li, what's this supposed to mean? Do you by any chance suspect that I, He Changchun, is in collusion with demons in some way?”

”Open the display screen.” Li Zong didn't answer the question.

He Zheng, who had been cleverly following Li Zong all along after finishing the bread, had an intuition that the interesting part was about to come.
