This turn of events left Master Fenda momentarily stunned.
Then he couldn’t help but look up at Fang Ze, who was looking back at him with a bright, sunny expression, as if he had nothing to do with what had just happened.
After a short pause, Master Fenda smiled, placed the coin fragments on the table, and said gently, "It seems the coin I brought was not of good quality."
"No worries. Don’t fret about it, sir. I’ll prepare more durable finances when I return, and come to question you again tomorrow," he said.
Having said this, he stood up, gave Fang Ze a bow, and then walked out of the conference room at a leisurely pace.
Meanwhile, in the monitoring room, the old man’s face was frosty, and the deputy was silence.
Nobody was a fool.
Coins don’t just break without reason. Someone must have tampered with it.
And in that conference room, there were only two people: other than Master Fenda, there was Fang Ze.
Clearly, Fang Ze did not want to answer the question or let anyone know the truth, which is why he directly destroyed the coin.
Moreover, he was very "sly" to wait until Master Fenda took the coin before suddenly shattering it.

By doing so, his ability had already taken effect, but the coin broke into pieces and scattered on the floor, making it impossible to trace.
This blatant defiance of the interrogation process could actually be grounds for charges already.
Thinking of this, the deputy turned his gaze towards the old man.
The old man glared at an image of Fang Ze for a while and then spoke slowly, "Send Fang Ze back to his room. Treat him well."
The deputy looked surprised and just as he was about to ask why,
he saw the old man standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the screen and saying coldly, "Mind Power is just an interrogation method and cannot be used as evidence."
"As of this morning, Fang Ze’s status has already changed to that of a witness, not a suspect. Interrupting the interrogation is not a serious offense."
"Therefore, let’s keep him for now and have Master Fenda conduct a dream interrogation tonight, to get to the bottom of things and find evidence before dealing with him," he said.
Upon hearing this, the deputy nodded in understanding.
In his haste, he had almost forgotten that results obtained through Mind Power cannot be used as evidence or lead.
So, even though everyone knew there was something off about Fang Ze, legally they couldn’t do anything about it for the time being.
The reason for the rule that "results obtained through Mind Power cannot be used as evidence" is because Mind Power is a very convincing ability, yet it’s also very susceptible to being manipulated by those with ulterior motives.
Mind Power is an ability to "probe into the human soul," not an ability to "probe the truth."
All its conclusions are actually derived from the person being interrogated.
This leads to the possibility that if someone deliberately altered the memories of the person under interrogation, then the results obtained by the Mind Power User would also be altered.
For instance, if someone manipulated Zhang San’s memory to make him believe his name was Li Si, then the Mind Power User would also come to the conclusion that the person being interrogated was named Li Si.
Beyond memory alteration, if the person under interrogation only knows part of the truth, the conclusion reached by the Mind Power User could also be wrong.
For example, if the person under interrogation stabbed the victim and the victim fell motionless, apparently dying, but later a third person delivered another stab, actually causing death,
the interrogated, unaware of the third person’s involvement, would mistakenly believe they were the killer, so the Mind Power User would also mistakenly conclude that the person being interrogated was the murderer.
Or perhaps... The person under interrogation is innocent, but the Mind Power User is the one with the issue... Explore more stories with Freewebnovel
Due to the scarcity of Mind Power Users, it’s often difficult to have multiple Mind Power Users working on a single case.
And the interpretations of a Mind Power User’s abilities are known only to them, leaving it uncertain whether they are true or not.
If such a Mind Power User intentionally frames someone, the accused will be at an absolute disadvantage.
Due to many issues arising from similar incidents, the Federation later decreed that Mind Power Users can only assist with cases, and their findings cannot be used as evidence or key leads.
So, although everyone now suspects Fang Ze of hiding something significant,
they cannot convict him without evidence.
However... that doesn’t mean they can’t do something about it.
For instance, Fang Ze was once again escorted to the detention room. They informed Fang Ze that he would be interrogated again the next day. They even set up a barrier outside Fang Ze’s room to prevent his escape.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Master Fenda’s planned dream interrogation of Fang Ze tonight, Fang Ze would likely be wearing Anti-Magic Handcuffs...
...
Meanwhile, back in the detention room, Fang Ze’s expression was extremely troubled.
He truly had not expected to be caught so thoroughly this time.
The moment Master Fenda asked the third question, Fang Ze knew he was in trouble.
If he answered no, he would have been detected lying, and then he would have been doomed.
And if he said yes, then he would be the prime suspect of a crime.
If he explained the whole situation in detail, he would have dug himself even deeper.
After all, strictly speaking, he had indeed deliberately calculated against the Yang Transformation stage character, and those who had attacked that character could very well be the Yang Transformation stage experts he hired.
So... even if he wasn’t the mastermind, he couldn’t escape being an accomplice.
Even if he could argue that it was self-defense, that argument seemed too weak given the gravity of the consequences.
