After Wu Mian successfully diverted the attention of the SOF investigators, the subsequent interrogation became much easier.
In the blink of an eye, he had been under investigation for three days.
During this period, his life was divided into two parts: he was detained and interrogated every day, and the contents of the interrogations were almost exactly the same.
Wu Mian knew that the other party wanted to use the painstaking interrogation to find loopholes in him. As an experienced agent, he was not affected.
However, the long period of detention and isolation from the outside world also brought him a lot of psychological pressure.
Although Sof has great power, it does not mean that he can cover the sky with one hand.
In any case, Wu Mian is still the person in charge of the Ninth Division after all. If the SOF has no evidence, it can only detain him for 48 hours at most.
Now that Zhou Tongxun has just taken the position of leader of the security department, it is the stage to win over others. Even if he wants to set an example for others, he cannot give up Wu Mian, the hero who helped him rise to the position.
Therefore, Wu Mian was very sure that Zhou Tongxun must also be running for him at this time.
So far, apart from the interrogation, Wu Mian has not received any other notifications, and there has been no news from Zhou Tongxun. This is not a good sign.
On this day, Wu Mian still followed the regular procedure and accepted relevant questioning. After the questioning, he asked the interrogator: "I have been detained here for three days. When can I leave?"
The interrogator closed the notebook in front of him: "We are only responsible for interrogation. We cannot answer this question for you."
"I am a senior agent of the Security Department and enjoy immunity from case handling. You have no right to detain me without reasonable grounds!"
Wu Mian looked at the two interrogators seriously: "If you cannot give me an accurate answer, I will no longer cooperate with your subsequent inquiries."
"I advise you not to do that, otherwise you will definitely suffer the consequences."
The interrogator ignored Wu Mian's threat: "SOF is enforcing the law on behalf of Congress, and the immunity and laws you act are all enacted by Congress. From a certain perspective, Congress's power and will are what you call
With your status, it should not be difficult for you to understand what I am saying."
"But I have to know the reason why I'm being imprisoned, right?"
Wu Mian looked at the interrogator: "How long do you want to detain me? Until the investigation of the attack on the Jinhai Mall is completed? I think you should understand the significance of the existence of the Nine Branches. If I don't go back and take charge of the Nine Branches as soon as possible, it will cause more trouble."
Big trouble! There were synths involved in the attack on the Golden Horse Mall, and I am far more professional than you SOF in their investigation."
"I said that the SOF will only act according to the wishes of Congress. Other things are not within our scope of concern, including the subversion of this country."
The interrogator said nothing and turned around to leave.
…
Kyoto, the private residence of a certain conservative official.
Zhou Tongxun was sitting alone in the living room at this time.
He came here for Wu Mian's case and waited here for more than three hours.
Just when he was about to give up, there was finally a sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.
Zhou Tongxun followed the sound and saw an old man about seventy years old walking downstairs. He stood up in fear and said: "Hello, Mr. Yue!"
"Take a seat, I just had some official business upstairs and have kept you waiting for a long time."
Mr. Yue said something polite, but his attitude was very calm and he did not show any guilt at all.
"Mr. Yue, you are so polite. I would be very grateful to you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me."
Zhou Tongxun knew very well that Yue made him wait for so long just to give him, the newly appointed security minister, a warning and let him know that he had no face or status among the conservatives.
Even so, Zhou Tongxun had to endure that power was such a strange thing. If he wanted to dominate those below, he had to endure the cynicism from above.
Mr. Yue sat opposite Zhou Tongxun and said as if chatting about everyday things: "I heard him mention your help to Feng Yuzhang, and Yuzhang mentioned it more than once. You are a talented person. Now that you are here, it is more important."
In your workplace, just look good and don’t let the person who recommended you feel cold.”
"My colleagues must bear in mind the teachings of Mr. Yue and never dare to forget them."
Zhou Tongxun nodded and said some kind words: "After I took office, I should have come to visit you a long time ago, but I have been entangled in trivial matters, so I wasted my time. Please forgive me, Mr. Yue."
"It doesn't matter."
Mr. Yue waved his hand, and the servant on the side quickly handed the tea cup into his hand: "You were promoted by Feng Yuzhang. Today, you didn't go to him to solve something. Instead, you came to see me through Feng Yuzhang's introduction. Is there anything he can't do?"
Things to deal with?”
Zhou Tongxun nodded: "Mr. Yue, I know your time is precious, so I won't beat you around the bush. I came today because one of my subordinates was detained by the SOF. His name is Wu Mian, who is directly under the 9th Division of the Security Department.
Director..."
Mr. Yue nodded slightly: "Wu Mian, I have an impression of this name."
"Mr. Yue, I know that SOF is the department you are in charge of. I came to you today because I hope you can show your respect and let Wu Mian go."
Zhou Tongxun is a conservative by nature, and he did not mince words when he spoke: "I have just taken over the Security Department, and it is the time when I need to establish my authority, and Wu Mian is my right-hand man. If he cannot be released, what will happen next?"
It will be difficult to get work done.”
"You are a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, why are you still thinking about others?"
Mr. Yue raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Tongxun: "This Jinhai Square case has made the elders in the Congress very angry, and your Ministry of Security, as an agency that maintains public security, has the greatest responsibility for this. You are in the position because you are a conservative
We were sent to support them, but now apart from this kind of thing, we are already embarrassed enough."
Zhou Tongxun was shocked when he heard what Mr. Yue said was wrong: "Mr. Yue, it's only been a few days since I took over the Security Department, and I haven't even completed all the procedures. This matter..."
"The above is also considering that the Security Department is transferring power, so it did not let you take this responsibility. What you have to do now is to investigate the Jinhai Plaza case as soon as possible. Even if you can't find any clues, you must at least have an attitude.
come out."
Mr. Yue said in a deep voice: "Instead of thinking about how to protect others, you should take care of yourself first. If you want to protect others from wind and rain, you must first grow into a tree."
"Mr. Yue, I am an upright person, and my words may not be pleasing to my ears many times." Zhou Tongxun insisted: "When I originally sided with Feng Yuzhang, I dragged Wu Mian into the group. Isn't there something wrong with the conservatives giving up on me at this time?
