Chapter 143: Chapter 48: Search (Part 3)

The nurse was captured and confined in the interrogation room.

The nurse’s hands were cuffed to the cold surface of the table, overwhelmed with terror. She hadn’t known that joining a Black Head group would lead to this aftermath.

No one came to interrogate her for a long time, which made her even more anxious.

It wasn’t until a soldier and a plainclothes police officer walked in that she bit her lip and said, “Officers, what exactly did I do wrong to be treated like a criminal?”

“How did you come to know these people?” The officer threw a few pictures of the group members’ avatars at the nurse.

In the communicator, the Black Head group had already disbanded, and the Black Head’s avatar had turned gray, indicating that the account had been deactivated.

“Answer honestly. You know, we don’t care about humanity here. If you refuse to talk, we’ll have to classify you as a spy.”

The Ten Stars System is vast, and there are always people with problematic minds, gathering like-minded individuals to protest society, anti-social.

They wish the rulers were themselves.

If someone is identified as a spy, they have no chance of redemption; being a spy is equivalent to being a serial killer.

Every social system has its unreasonable aspects and can’t be perfect.

The current system is still okay, although it has its dark sides, it is undeniably peaceful.

Spies are disruptors of peace. Social instability can lead to more violent incidents, causing numerous brutal killings.

The nurse hurriedly shook her head, “I’m not a spy, really I’m not. I’ll tell you everything I know.”

The nurse is just a selfish ordinary person with mediocre stress tolerance. Scared by them, she spilled everything she knew.

There were only ten people in the Black Head group, and each had a code name.

She was given the title of Nurse, the Black Head was called Dragon Head, his assistant was the Knight, then there were others like Fei Tian, Tiger Whiskers, Gray Man…

Each time a name was mentioned, the soldier watching the interrogation from the adjacent room changed his expression multiple times. Several of the titles were on the secret wanted list of the military and police.

Every one of them is extremely dangerous, especially Dragon Head, who, according to previously collected data, had planned an Insect Man attack on a habitable planet.

Resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

“The Knight messaged me through a social platform, asking if I really disliked Su Xiaocai.”

At this point, the nurse paused.

“I just said I really didn’t like her. A girl should just study well. She caused so many things at school and even went viral several times. Wouldn’t it be better for her to be a quiet and gentle lady? I just couldn’t stand her restless appearance. Someone shared my sentiment, so we started chatting…”

This is how people are, defending their actions and words from their own perspective.

The nurse concealed her most hidden thoughts, the ones she didn’t want anyone to know.

“You took the money so readily, weren’t you afraid there was something wrong?”

“What’s the problem? As long as I know what I’m doing isn’t illegal, who says making friends can’t have some benefit attached?”

After saying everything, the nurse felt she hadn’t done anything wrong. Previously, she feared the Military Department wouldn’t give her a chance to speak, but now that she talked it out, her attitude changed.

Interrogation is a psychological duel between both sides.

The interrogators here attacked “gently.”

Making the nurse continually build her confidence, convincing herself, “I’m short of money. Their only request was for me to befriend a little girl, then they gave me some money. That’s not illegal, right?”

Interrogator: “By your logic, if they ask you to kill someone, and the money is right, you would do it.”

“Officer, don’t twist concepts. I won’t do anything illegal.” The nurse crossed her arms, holding them in front of her chest, showing a relaxed posture, seemingly confident of winning.

The interrogator leaned forward, staring intently at the nurse, “You’ve taken money from criminals to do their bidding. Do you know what that’s called? Accomplice. Even if an accomplice doesn’t know they’re doing something bad, it’s still a crime.”

The nurse’s face changed slightly as she straightened her posture, “Words alone are not proof.”

Someone with a half-baked understanding of the law is troublesome, “Didn’t your other phone record the other party’s crime? Bringing yourself in as an accomplice too. It depends on what you choose. If you keep silent, say nothing, you might end up in prison for several decades. Cooperate sincerely, reveal more, and maybe you can reduce your sentence by ten or so years.”

The interrogator smiled delicately, making the nurse’s heart panic.

“Oh, right, you’re short of money. Maybe it doesn’t matter if you don’t speak. In prison, you won’t have to think about how to get through decades. Prisons don’t feed idlers. Once you’re in, they’ll surely assign you work.”

Thinking slightly ahead, about being confined for decades to spend time sewing in a small space.

The interrogator didn’t believe that a vain nurse who spent money freely and boasted on platforms could endure such a monotonous life.

Just by describing it, the nurse couldn’t bear the pressure, biting her nails, “I didn’t break any laws with what I did. Isn’t it true that if I disclose more, it could offset being an accomplice?”

“Depends on what you disclose. We’re not judges; we can only document everything. All records will be presented to the judge.”

“Can I ask what Dragon Head actually did?”

“All things deserving the death penalty.”

The nurse’s heart chilled, the consequences of greed were too terrifying; who would’ve thought that the head of a Black Head group was a heinous criminal?

“Let me think, let me think.”

“Start from the beginning, talk about those voice messages, confess truthfully, and clarify the things you’re hiding. We’ve interrogated not thousands, but at least hundreds of people. We can see through your thoughts at a glance.”

The images the nurse intercepted were photographs, and couldn’t reveal what was said in voice messages. Perhaps the other party knew this, so they didn’t mind.

The interrogator needed to dig out this information as well.

The nurse’s lips parted as she slowly exposed her darkest thoughts.

She liked Ji Li, and this little thought was something she had always displayed quite openly.

However, Ji Li always ignored her, and he didn’t allow her to enter his exclusive school infirmary.

Only Su Xiaocai could go in and out freely. What made her even more envious was that Su Xiaocai only got Ji Li’s favor by selling fruit, which was very abnormal to her and made her very resentful.

As for how she found out about Su Xiaocai selling fruit.

The card was brazenly placed under the glass on the desk where anyone could see it, leading the nurse to believe Su Xiaocai was selling.

She complained online: A money-grubbing woman surnamed Su is pestering my idol. How should I get rid of her?

Then she chatted with the Knight. After two days, she and the Knight found the conversation congenial.

After listening to her grumble, the Knight followed suit to learn about Su Xiaocai, then they vented together, sharing a common grievance.

Subsequently, the Knight actively found a Black Head group and pulled her in.

The people inside naturally agreed with you, catering to you, allowing you to gradually open your heart.

As the nurse got deeper, they began building an image for themselves. For example, Dragon Head was a wealthy person who was generous, Knight was an assistant, handling various troublesome matters, and the ones at the back were all students, rich second generations.

It created an illusion of them having great power, wanting to play and control other people’s lives, and the nurse had already become one of them, with money freely given to her.

Later, they even said they could help her create opportunities to be with Ji Li, making Ji Li gradually notice her good qualities so that they could naturally get together.

Why the female school doctor didn’t come before was due to this group intervening. Unable to get into the school, they set their sights on outsiders, but the nurse didn’t know what they did, only that something happened to the female doctor’s family.

When the nurse mentioned that there was a contact person in the group, when the virus incident didn’t succeed, they had a poisoning backup plan.

But all their actions were based on the nurse’s lies.

If no one from the Military Department discovered her existence, the nurse might have linked up with the contact person for the poisoning.

Following the interrogation, the interrogator left the interrogation room with a displeased expression.
