The voice on the other end of the phone was low, "But in line with this, I hope you can produce results that can convince those guys."
"Thank you for still trusting me, an old subordinate."
Yamamoto Toru took a drag on his cigarette and said relaxedly, "As for the results, don't worry. I've been focusing on them for almost two years now. There won't be any mistakes."
"Then, I won't say anything more. I just look at the results."
"Know."
The phone hangs up.
Yamamoto Tetsu lightly put his legs on the desk and made another internal call.
"How is the person you took away now?"
"Ah, he is still silent now."
"Where's his girlfriend?"
"I'm sorry, but we still couldn't communicate well. I left an hour ago, saying that I was going to find a lawyer to sue us."
"It's quite troublesome. But don't worry, you can get the detention permit by tomorrow morning. If there is any trouble from the outside world by then, you can show it to them."
"Understood."
The phone hung up again.
Yamamoto Toru turned his chair and stared out the window into the darkness.
Almost two years have passed.
At that time, I was still the search team leader of the high-spirited Special Investigation Team.
After graduating from an inspection school and working step by step from the grassroots to the position of team leader, how many torturous days have you gone through?
From a high-spirited young man in his early twenties, he is now a middle-aged greasy uncle in his forties. But at this stage, he made a big mistake and was demoted and transferred to such a small and idle small inspection bureau to provide for his retirement.
Tricked by a madman.
The doctor who played tricks on himself—Lin Jie.
I don’t want to think about it specifically anymore.
He just said that he was lucky to have chosen this rotten place. Then Lin Jie, who insisted on investigating and could not find any problems, also investigated the last patient he treated before his death.
It's really fun. Living with monsters.
That kind of thing - I still remember the first time I discovered that thing, almost the entire team was wiped out.
The funny thing is, no one cares how many people died.
That's what everyone wants to live for.
What’s so good about that thing?
It’s not that I can’t understand it, it’s just like nuclear weapons, even if they can’t be used, they must be available.
Who cares.
Yamamoto Toru is just disgusted and disgusted with these dirty things that have reduced him to what he is now.
But now that I find something dirty, especially when it is very possible to catch it alive without killing anyone, I feel it is a little bit cute again.
Just like the girl in the photo.
This should be a much more perfect body than what is known in the known information. It must be the biggest secret that Lin Jie has tricked himself into hiding.
You don’t need anyone’s help, you just need to do it yourself. You can produce results quietly and you won’t be fooled by anyone again.

The other side.
Su Yao didn't know where he was now.
But it must be far away from the city.
It looks like a simple shed house specially built by someone, but there is no construction site around it.
The person who brought Su Yao to this place had an ice face. From the beginning to the end, he was not allowed to show any unnecessary expressions or say any unnecessary words.
"How long do I have to stay here?"
"If you want to leave, tell me to contact Mr. Yamamoto, but before that, please think about what you want to say. This is what he told me."
Ice Cube Face said calmly, "As for the rest, we will compensate you with a daily salary of 100 yuan every day you stay here."
"100 yuan? Do you want to ask my girlfriend how much money she gives me every day to support me?"
"If you have nothing else to say, please rest."
Ice Cube Face is ready to exit the room.
"Wait a minute, I want to know what on earth I did to deserve this kind of treatment."
"Clang-"
The door was closed and locked from the outside.
Su Yao looked around the work shed and saw a shabby iron frame bed.
The windows were sealed, and only the cracks in the door allowed ventilation. There was a toilet and a rusty faucet in the house.
The space is about ten square meters at most.
There is only white light in the room.
The mobile phone was also taken away.
In other words, everything he had on him except the cigarettes and lighters were taken away.
"Crack."
Su Yao lit a cigarette.
How much does that guy know about himself and You Ye?
If you have been paying more or less attention to yourself from the very beginning, then if you start now, you will obviously have achieved some key results.
Guess, You Ye can't be caught.
Do you want to use yourself as bait now? Because you know how dangerous Yu Ye is.
Can't think of anything.
The thing happened so suddenly. It was the first time for me to meet Toru Yamamoto. How could I possibly know how much he knew about me?
Looking around the room, there is nothing superfluous. It is a useful tool that can kill yourself.
Su Yao has been thinking about it since he got on the car and was transported here.
Is it necessary to create a node at such an unclear time?
Or should I wait until Youye shows up.
"call--"
Changed to a second cigarette.
There is too little information available so far. We must remain calm.
Preparing for the worst, they brought themselves here, so they must have some value.
And until Youye is found, he will always be valuable, which means there will be no danger.
Then just wait.
Even if you can go back by loading files here, the most you can do is go back to before you were taken away. What's the point of that?
Could we take advantage of that time to find You Ye and run away together? Just kidding.
Put out cigarette butts.
Su Yao curled up on the hard bed, and when she turned slightly, there was a creaking sound, which was very harsh.
And when he wanted to sleep, he found that the lights could not be controlled. There was no switch.
"Please turn off the lights!"
There's no point in shouting outside the door.
The light was extremely dazzling, so Su Yao had no choice but to curl up in the corner and sleep under a blanket.
At this time, he thought of Xia Xianyue, who joined the Inspectorate with him.
Wouldn't she also be taken to such a rotten place?
Probably not.
The only person who has close contact with Youye is himself, and you don’t need too many valuable things.
Will that be used to threaten myself?
If the inspector... can do this, that's great.
If Youye really comes here, what should you do?
If there was really conclusive evidence proving that he was related to someone who died, Youye's true identity would have been completely revealed long ago, and reading the files would be completely useless.
What to do?
What?
All of a sudden that's it.
the next day.
Su Yao is hungry.
But no one came, and from the moment I woke up until now, I had nothing to eat except filling water from the rusty faucet to satisfy my hunger.
I don't know how long I sat in bed.
"Bang!"
Su Yao suddenly got up and kicked the door.
After kicking several times, the sound was loud enough.
"Is anyone there?!"
“···”
No matter how I made noise or shouted, no one came.
Su Yao began to wonder if he was the only one here at all.
What is going to happen?
Starve yourself to death?
"GuluGulu——"
Turn on the faucet and drink water.
My stomach makes an unexplained sound. I probably drank too much water and started to feel pain.
The door is tightly sealed, and because the light is on, it is difficult to tell whether it is day or night outside through the crack in the door.
My strength also began to decrease.
"Gudong——"
"Crack."
Apart from drinking water, Su Yao could only light cigarettes.
But soon the cigarettes also bottomed out.
And there is nothing to do.
The space was even filled with smoke and extremely stuffy because the door opening for air inlet and outlet was too small.
It's really depressing.
But this is the only level I can bear.
Su Yao began to understand.
The reason why this room is so simple and the reason why the bright lights are always on is to torture my own spirit.
A possibility suddenly occurred to me.
Is everything here being monitored?
The reason is to drive yourself crazy, or to wait for You Ye to come over. After all, there is the possibility of bait.
It's just such boring speculation.
I don't know if it was two days or three days, but You Ye didn't show up.
Su Yao was extremely weak and just drank water to satisfy his hunger.
Shouldn't he really only give himself two ways, either Youye comes out and exposes himself, or he dies here. This is too childish.
But I won’t die——
If he is really starving to death in a funny way, he will also load the file. What, a new hell torment?
If that's really the case, that's too stupid.
"Creak——"
I really don’t know whether it is the fourth or fifth day. Let’s just assume it is between the fourth and fifth day.
When the door opened, the light from outside, which was much brighter than the lights, shone in. Su Yao had to squint his eyes.
"Good morning."
An annoying sound was heard.
“···”
I also smelled the aroma of food, and after being tempted, my saliva began to gather involuntarily.
"Want to eat?"
Yamamoto Toru smiled and raised the bun in his hand.
“···”
Su Yao reluctantly sat up from the bed and stared directly at the transparent plastic bag in his hand.
There are soft buns and soy milk inside.
Although it is extremely simple food, it seems to Su Yao now like a rare delicacy. Once his eyes come into contact with it, he cannot look away.
"It's very simple, as long as you cooperate with me."
"Tell me everything you know."
"Not only food, but I will help you clear all your charges."
"Crime... name?"
Su Yao swallowed with some difficulty.
"Oh, I forgot you didn't know yet."
"The prisoner who hurt your girlfriend last year died and it became a troublesome unsolved case."
"And it was actually you who killed him."
"You had plenty of time on the night they disappeared."
"I know."
Yamamoto Toru walked in and said with a smile, "What method did you use to make the monster listen to you and go to the hospital to take them away?"
"Of course an ordinary inspector needs conclusive evidence to convict you, but as long as I prove that you are related to the monster, not only can you be convicted, but you will never be able to return to normal society."
"Are you hungry?"
"Ordinary people would have pounced or knelt down to eat at this time, but you still managed to bite your tongue and stay calm. You should be commended."
“···”
Just as he said, Su Yao used his teeth to grind the tip of his tongue and exchanged pain for a clear mind.
"call--",
Toru Yamamoto lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Then, just tell me, should you cooperate or continue to stand firm."
"It's not a big deal if you stay up. I just have more time."
"But if you go on for a long time, I probably won't be able to clear your name. I mean once you are prosecuted and the charges are confirmed."
"···Give me."
"This?"
Yamamoto Toru shook the bun in his hand and threw it directly to Su Yao.
"Gulu——"
Su Yao was not polite and swallowed it with a big mouthful.
"Cough cough cough——"
I choked and drank some soy milk to calm myself down, then continued eating.
Toru Yamamoto was just smoking a cigarette and watching as if it had nothing to do with himself.
He waited until Su Yao finished eating before continuing to speak, "Have you thought about it now?"
"Give me a cigarette."
“···”
Yamamoto Tetsu handed one over as promised.
"Crack."
After Su Yao lit it, he took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke.
"Lock me up in a place like this, and then come over and threaten me a lot. Doesn't this sound like a negotiation?"
"Do you think it's a discussion?"
Yamamoto Toru asked calmly.
"That means I have to unilaterally believe everything you say and then answer based on what you say?"
"Almost."
"If I refuse, will I be transferred from here to prison?"
"He will be imprisoned after prosecution is filed."
"I need to go back to where I live."
"That's probably not possible. Now you are a criminal to the outside world."
"Is my girlfriend locked up by you like me?"
"Ms. Xia had nothing to do with this matter. She went home after routine inquiries that day."
"That's good."
Su Yao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Let me sort out my thoughts."
"The photo you showed me is of the little girl I met by chance last year."
"She was repatriated from overseas. Her parents are dead. I took care of her out of compassion, and she also liked me as her big brother."
"If the search records you mentioned were indeed found on my computer, they should have been left for her when she was playing with the computer."
"As for the photo you showed me, I happened to be photographed by a boring guy when we came out of that place together."
"Even if she and I were doing something shameful there, so what?"
"She is an adult. I am an adult too. I am willing to do it. Is there any problem?"
"As for the murder case you mentioned, I really wanted to cut the people who hurt my girlfriend into pieces, but unfortunately, they ran away before I took action. To this day, my mother-in-law has offered a reward of one million yuan to find them, saying that I did it.
I really want to laugh."
"If you can't find the murderer, you start to directly blame me, the person with the most motive, and you can't produce any evidence. Is this the inspector of Dongshi?"
"Classmate Su Yao, there are people in this world who want to be heroes, and there are people who want to be cowards. Which kind of person do you think you are?"
Yamamoto Toru asked with a smile.
"There are also people who neither want to be heroes nor cowards."
"As expected of a top student at Dongda University, he is really eloquent."
Yamamoto Toru took a puff of his cigarette, "But there may be something I didn't explain clearly, which caused you to get it completely wrong."
"The orphan you mentioned was sent back by the embassy after his parents died, and the little girlfriend who happily plays with you in a shady place."
"Unfortunately, I was found yesterday and surrendered."
"What a loving relationship."
"She said it doesn't matter what she does as long as she lets you go. One girlfriend is like this, and the other girlfriend is looking for lawyers everywhere to sue the inspectorate. From your appearance, you don't seem to be such a likable person."
"It's a pity that you said so much, which strongly proves the close relationship between you and it. It makes me want to sympathize with an orphan like you who has experienced ups and downs, but it is impossible to open up."
