Chapter 346: The Powerful Organization (1/2)

Due to Deng Chao's severed hand and the failure of his revenge, he had completely sunk into insanity and repeatedly tried to harm himself and his interrogators. Thus, the police obtained little information from him.

Most of the confessions were provided by Kong Hui. It turned out that the organization had targeted me after I continually harmed their interests. When they discovered I was Song Zhaolin’s grandson, they never intended to directly deal with me but bought a condemned man, orchestrating Deng Chao’s escape from Mt. Leopard Prison. They gave him three months of special training to transform him into a first-class killer and waited for him to get rid of me.

The original plan was supposed to be an ordinary assassination but they never imagined how deeply dominated by hatred Deng Chao was or expected him to orchestrate a bloody graduation ceremony.

Deng Chao was out of control, so the organization sent Kong Hui to deal with the aftermath. Personally, Kong Hui was reluctant but it was an order to make up for a previous mistake so he couldn’t refuse.

However, Deng Chao wasn’t aware of Kong Hui’s existence. On that day, Kong Hui disguised himself and mixed in with the crowd in the auditorium. While we were occupied with Deng Chao’s tests, he kidnapped the dean and secretly switched identities. He originally intended to take advantage of the chaos to kill me, but Deng Chao was unexpectedly arrested.

Realizing this was his last opportunity to take action, he stabbed me the moment he handed the certificate for fear his failure would incur the organization's wrath and cruel punishment.

Kong Hui claimed that the organization had a strict hierarchy and one-way communication, like underground organizations of the past. He was only a peripheral member and received instructions and remuneration from the connecting party so he didn’t know who sat at the top.

Unable to withstand the sleep-deprivation, Kong Hui gave a code name–Dog Trainer, his contact man. The police were currently investigating him.

After reading the interrogation files, I thought it was a pity that I missed the entire process. In fact, I had my own selfish reasons. Perhaps I could have tested the Eyes of Yama on these two suspects yet I was forbidden from speaking a word of this to Xiaotao.

”Will Deng Chao receive the death penalty this time?” I asked.

Xiaotao nodded, ”After taking so many lives, he won’t be able to avoid the death penalty. Kong Hui will be charged with attempted murder and kidnapping at most. He’s expected to be sentenced to several decades of imprisonment.”

The criminal who gave his all to the organization turned out to be an abandoned piece. I felt my heart descend into despair. How powerful was this hidden organization?

”Nanjiang City has been calm of late. The country is peaceful and the people are at ease,” laughed Xiaotao. “There aren’t any major cases at the moment. Yesterday, we arrested a man for murdering his wife. The evidence is conclusive and he’s being interrogated now.”

Right then, a man was escorted out of the interrogation room, shouting desperately as soon as he saw Xiaotao and me standing in the corridor. ”I’m innocent! Officer, I swear I’m innocent!”

”Is he the one who murdered his wife?” I pointed at the man.

”That’s right. Ignore him,” said Xiaotao. “Nine out of ten people who come in claim they're innocent.”

Out of curiosity, I used Cave Vision which I repeatedly practiced in the hospital over the past few days. As long as I wasn’t in a state of agitation, I could still use Cave Vision. And the man’s microexpressions told me he wasn’t lying.

Noticing my direct gaze on the suspect, Xiaotao urged, ”Don't worry. I’ve always been fair and above board with all my investigations. Let's go and get something to eat!”

”I’ve just had lunch. Let me look at the case files, won’t you?”

”How can you doubt me?” Xiaotao feigned indignance. “You’ve completely hurt my feelings.”
