824 Sunken Yet Malicious Eyes
....
The white room strongly smelled of disinfectant mixed with a lavender air freshener. A small crowd of big figures with resounding names were swarming in front of a hospital bed.
Each person standing here had enough authority to change or destroy one's life. The person from the National Bureau, Federals, Department of Justice, National Police, and even from the INTERPOL had gathered here to observe the man personally as he was questioned by the profiler.
Even the head of the Xiong and Tang family pulled some strings to watch the interrogation personally. The two old people could only stand at the back of the room, farthest away from the suspect.
The investigation should have happened a month ago. However, the prime suspect was not in a condition to be interrogated nor attend the trial.
Since every ribs of the man were broken, his organs were bruised and some were punctured, his recuperating period lasted for a month.
Now that the man had woken up and was able to sit up straight, although walking was still a question, these important figures hurried here to personally see the person who almost destroyed the country's economy.
If health and the person's rights were not in question, they would have brought this man to the court and let the public who bothered them all day vent their anger towards the man.
During the time that the Department of Justice stayed quiet about the man's whereabouts, the public and the people from upper society pestered them all day. So now that they could proceed towards the interrogation, these high profiled people could not help but fasten up the procedure.
Since the man won't be able to stand nor overworked his muscles and bones that had been fixed, they could only do the interrogation in this room.
The man on the hospital bed had yellowish skin. Due to not being able to eat any solid food for a month, caused the man's health to deteriorate. His cheeks sunken, making his dark deep-set eyes more malicious. His lips were bloodless and dry.
The blank look in his eyes made people wonder if this person was the same person who once made people shudder by just the mention of his name.
This man was currently chained to the bed. But even without the chain, he wouldn't be able to escape. He could only sit up and lie down.
Thus, many people in this room shed their fear away from this man. The martial prowess this man had before was now useless.

prowess this man had before was now useless.
Besides this sorry looking man was the most famous and talented profiler in the country.
The profiler was currently interviewing the man. They had started the interrogation an hour ago. However, the profiler wasn't able to get an answer from the man.
Accurately to say, the man on the bed hasn't spoken a word.
"What are your intentions in kidnapping the four heirs?"
"What is the reason behind murdering Lu Shan in cold blood?"
"The experts you brought in the Victory Banquet, how did you manage to get them in the country?"
"Are the allegations of the fraudulent identity of Gunan posing as Guan Gao Huan is your doing?"
The man remained silent. His eyes were blank.
The people around them looked at each other.
An idea occurred to them, could it be Ming Zhi Yi had turned vegetative? But it can't be, aside from a broken skull, there were no nerves that were damaged in the man's brain.
Perhaps...psychological? Did the defeat and the loss of everything he owned cause the man to snap and break?
However, some of them who had experienced interrogations with other high-profile criminals firsthand doubted Ming Zhi Yi. The man must be acting or ignoring the questions on purpose.
But no matter how much the man act, even if he would not cooperate, it doesn't matter. There were witnesses and evidence against him. This process was just a formality.
The profiler watched the man's blank expression carefully. Finally, he changed the trajectory of this interrogation.
"Is it true that you killed your wife?"
The man on the bed did not move. However, the profiler saw his lashes tremble.
The talented profiler nodded inwardly. As the informant said, this topic was sensitive. The profiler now had an idea how to make this man speaks. "Is the true purpose of committing mass murder in the Victory banquet that occurred more than a month ago, is not because you lost a fight with the legendary families, but because of the grievance caused by the destruction of the Qian family more than forty years ago?"
It was a confirmation that ended with a question mark. Nevertheless, it wasn't a question that needed an answer.
That's when they noticed Ming Zhi Yi's strange behavior.
No matter what they said earlier, he seemed to not hear them. They even tried to snap their fingers beside his ears to check, but the man had no reaction. He seemed alive but dead at the same time.
But now that pair of eyes suddenly moved and was placed on the profiler's face. The pale and thin face that did not show any emotion in the past week suddenly stretched out a wicked smile.
The profiler shuddered.
A hoarse voice comes out, "I wonder. It is probably because I have fun killing some insects who did not know their place."
The face of the big figures inside the room changed.
Ming Zhi Yi suddenly chuckled. "Isn't that what you want to hear? Why make that face?"
His eyes then turned wide, the white in his eyes turned a bit red. It was terrifying to look at. "Or are you expecting me to tell my made-up stories to you so can you condemn me more?"
Then those frightening eyes glanced at the back of the room where the two old people were seated.
"But I have no regrets. The only story I want to tell is how I beat up the Tang heiress and made her kneel while she listened to other heirs' cries. Ah, let's not forget the Xiong heiress's painful cries when I carved her flesh-"
Clang!
Old Xiong suddenly stood up and threw his cane in anger. "What the hell are you waiting for?! Now that he wakes up, let's not keep questioning a beast who doesn't understand human words. Let's hang him up! A bastard like him doesn't need a reason to be killed. He deserved to die!"
