Chapter 39: The Real Interrogation Has Only Just Begun

“It’s more than just 'having something.' Didn't you see? While the police and military on-site were still verifying the firearm models, she was reciting them clearly and precisely, even preparing to demonstrate them on the spot.”

“Then what is she, a god?!”

“This Jiang Xiaoya is definitely not as simple as she looks. Didn't you see the way the members of the criminal investigation team were looking at her? That glint in their eyes, that attitude... tsk tsk tsk...”

The viewership in the livestream climbed steadily, the screen flooded with bullet comments.

A special session of "CEO Quotes."

【Stupid woman, just how many secrets do you have that I don't know about?】

【Stupid woman, you have successfully caught my attention.】

【Stupid concubine, just how many surprises do you have left that I don't know about?】

【Why does my heart ache when I see this stupid girl?!】

【Stupid girl, you are like a beam of light appearing in my life, illuminating the rest of my days.】

It was as cringeworthy as it could possibly be.

A special session of "Observation Mode."

【Do you guys feel like the way the criminal investigation team looks at our Stupid Sister has changed? Before, they looked at her like she was a piece of trouble; now, they've got *that* look.】

【Is that so? I thought the investigators were looking at her with starry eyes, and then the military personnel started looking at her with a certain glow. Turns out Stupid Sister is a total heartbreaker!】

【Local reporter: We usually don't panic unless the opponent pulls a gun!】

【Reporter: We asked you to introduce the firearms, not demonstrate them.】

【Reporter: Very well said. No need for the demonstration.】

【Forget the local reporters on-site; even the anchors on the News Broadcast had their eyes wide open. They almost reported a shooting live on air.】

【She knows how to disengage the safety!! She's a professional!! I suggest the police investigate her thoroughly!!】

【I actually glimpsed a hint of evil in Stupid Sister's eyes.】

【Today's drama title: The moment she picked up the gun, everyone panicked.】

【Criminal Investigation Team & Military District: We've never been this panicked, even when facing violent criminal syndicates.】

【Hahahahaha, why are they reacting so much? Because she actually dares to do it!】

【Don't fear that she dares; fear that she knows how.】

【Don't fear that she knows how; fear that she understands.】

【Don't fear that she understands; fear that she's a weapons expert!】

【Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing in the comments.】

There were also voices of doubt.

【An ordinary recent graduate actually knows various weapon models, even models of non-domestic weapons? This is impossible for an ordinary person. But the fact that not a single person from the police or military suspected her is even more suspicious. Could Jiang Xiaoya have been working with the police from the start? If not, there's only one possibility: she's the mastermind behind the gang, putting on a show that even fooled the police. I'm waiting for a major plot twist; let's see her get a heavy sentence!】

【A single slap can pop a car tire? That's too fake.】

【The world has become strangely fantastical.】

【Everything feels fake. Setting aside the fact that the toy gun factory is suspected of smuggling and selling firearms, how did these guns even flow into Dragon Country? Secondly, that tall foreigner must weigh at least two hundred pounds; how did Jiang Xiaoya manage to carry him while walking briskly? The most inexplicable part is that those bodyguards let Jiang Xiaoya run away with their boss right in front of them without reacting? Do they have brains? Were those bodyguards also part of the smuggling ring that was supposed to protect An San?】

Seeing that the situation was under control, Qing Tianfeng instructed Yu Cuo and Wu Lun to take the people back. He walked up to Jiang Xiaoya and invited her into the police car.

"Miss Jiang, please come with us."

"Captain Qing is being too polite."

Jiang Xiaoya opened the car door with practiced ease. Upon entering, she realized she wasn't sitting on a "prison transport" metal bench today, and she raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Qing Tianfeng sat in the passenger seat. His eyes met hers in the rearview mirror, and his eyelid twitched slightly before he averted his gaze.

The netizens in the livestream noticed this detail as well.

【From a metal bench to genuine leather; Stupid Sister is moving up in the world.】

【You can tell Stupid Sister is very satisfied, hahaha.】

【Captain Qing clearly doesn't want to see Jiang Xiaoya, I'm dying laughing.】

The car quickly returned to the police station. Before entering the interrogation room, Jiang Xiaoya tactfully turned off her "Heavenly Eye" earpiece, not forgetting to bid farewell to the netizens in the livestream.

The livestream erupted in wails of grief.

【It's over, my mental sustenance has been cut off.】

【Stupid Sister, come back quickly, we'll be waiting for you.】

【We won't disperse until Stupid Sister returns.】

Jiang Xiaoya followed behind Qing Tianfeng, preparing to enter for her statement, when she happened to run into several people walking toward them.

Jiang Xiaoya had some impression of them; they were the criminal investigation team members who had escorted her into the car the previous two times.

As they passed each other, one of the junior officers suddenly gave her a silly grin and greeted her.

"Greetings, Noble Lady Jiang!"

"Greetings, Noble Lady Jiang..."

The people following behind him followed suit, offering their greetings.

Jiang Xiaoya: "..."

Qing Tianfeng remained in a state of speechless silence.

A beat behind, Jiang Xiaoya stepped forward and patted their shoulders. "Rise, my little Li's."

Yu Cuo and the others: "..."

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

Forget "Noble Lady"—if they called her Emperor, she'd probably take the role too.

Qing Tianfeng glared at Yu Cuo and the others. "Are you finished with your work?"

He was clearly about to assign them tasks.

"No, no, no, we still have work. We just came over to greet the Noble Lady... we're going back to work right now, going back to work."

"Going back to work, Captain..."

The others nodded like chickens pecking at grain and scurried off in a flash.

Qing Tianfeng turned back to glance at Jiang Xiaoya.

Jiang Xiaoya touched her face. "With looks like mine, can I really be a Noble Lady?"

She looked quite satisfied with herself.

Qing Tianfeng: "..."

Miss Jiang followed Qing Tianfeng into the interrogation room to give her statement; this time, she was not handcuffed.

Qing Tianfeng did not sit down; someone else was assigned to take her statement.

The questioning began from the moment she sat down.

Jiang Xiaoya was very cooperative, answering every question.

The interrogation lasted for over an hour. Once the statement was nearly complete, the staff member finished and left with a water cup.

Miss Jiang thought it was over, only to see Qing Tianfeng, who had been standing by the side the entire time, sit down.

Their eyes met.

The real interrogation had just begun.

Jiang Xiaoya smiled slightly. "Captain Qing is truly dedicated."

Qing Tianfeng ignored her sarcasm. After a moment of silence, he spoke. "The car tire was blown by heavy impact. How did you do it?"

The answer was obvious, but he still wanted to hear her say it herself.

"...I just gave it a slap, and it was done."

Jiang Xiaoya was not modest; her reply was incredibly simple and direct.

It was truly a matter-of-fact statement.

Qing Tianfeng fell silent and nodded.

It was a more substantial recognition of her strength.

"Regarding the models of the smuggled firearms from this gang, why do you know so much about them?"

Qing Tianfeng asked another question that puzzled him.

Because of the system!

The system had been blabbering the whole time!

"Don't they have a manifest?"

After saying this, Jiang Xiaoya pulled a stack of papers from her person and smiled slightly. "I found them on that foreigner. As it happens, I know English."

She hadn't understood the languages the foreigners were speaking, but the manifest was in English, so she could read it.
