Xing Ze is already familiar with torture. He has tortured tough bodyguards, gang leaders, and even some officials.
Regardless of whether they are strong or not, they will basically surrender before the second round of torture. This has nothing to do with honor and loyalty, nor betrayal and cowardice.
Mere pain, physical pain can stimulate people's brains, forcing them to make decisions that go against their original wishes.
Therefore, after unlocking all the petrification spells on Davis, Xing Ze took the lead and punched him hard in the stomach.
The place he targeted was the spleen, a rather fragile organ in the human body that would also cause considerable pain.
The painful groan suppressed what the real estate businessman wanted to say, and there was regret on his twisted face.
He began to miss his magic robe, which was specially customized by a senior tailor. It was hand-sewn and had defensive magic patterns woven from golden magic silk threads that could block most physical impacts.
In order to attend that damn ball, he chose a flashy dress. This dress was very convenient to put on and take off, but in terms of defensive properties, it was only made of fabric.
The throbbing pain in his abdomen put an end to the threats Davis had originally planned, and he began to understand that this kidnapping was not a spur of the moment.
"You...how much do you want? I can give you more money than you can spend in a lifetime."
Xing Ze determined the next four weeks. He was currently located in the underground warehouse of Corey's second-hand store. When John used to work in Knockturn Alley, he would often bring people here for questioning.
All torture instruments were available and neatly placed on a medical trolley. Various spying spells were cast on the entire room. No matter how loud the prisoner screamed, the outside would not hear it.
"Money?" Xing Ze smiled, he moved his magic wand, and a hemp rope was wrapped around Davis who was about to get up, and tied him tightly.
One end of the hemp rope was automatically tied to the hook on the ceiling, and the real estate tycoon was now hung up like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what do you want?" Davis struggled and twisted, and he saw the instruments of torture, "No matter what it is, I can give it to you."
"I appreciate your cooperative attitude, sir." Xing Ze pulled up a chair and sat down, "Many people, many self-righteous people always say harsh words, and they never understand their situation.
"Okay, no more nonsense. If you cooperate, Mr. Davis, maybe you can go to the dance tonight. So let's start with something simple.
"Joe Clemens, let's talk about him, something I don't know, something no one knows?"
"It's...what is it? Merlin's beard, sir, I'm not very familiar with him. I mean, although I've worked with him, I'm mainly responsible for the advertising company."
Xing Ze exhaled impatiently and looked up at the man in front of him, "Aren't you familiar?"
"Yes, we are not familiar with each other, we just have some communication at work." the real estate businessman emphasized again.
For some reason, this strange man wearing a mask made him feel hairy, especially his sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Okay, sir." Xing Ze stood up from the chair and took a knife from the medical cart nearby. "I believe it for the moment. But can you explain to me why that advertising company thanked you before?"
Under the name of He Mendez?
"Oh, and after you were transferred to the position of president of Bearded Advertising, you personally promoted Joe Clemens to take your place."
Having said this, Xing Ze tested the blade with his thumb, "Don't tell me that you admired Clemens' abilities so much that you pushed him to the position of executive director against all the odds."
Davis swallowed and said, "Who did you hear this from? This is complete nonsense."
"Mr. Davis, I'm afraid you don't have a good reputation in the company. Your employees have a lot of complaints about you, and you can get a lot out of them with just a few glasses of wine."
"I can explain, I can explain." Davis said anxiously, "Ah - grass, grass -"
Before he could give an explanation, Xing Ze's knife slashed his stomach. Blood flowed from his white belly and soaked the striped silk trousers.
"Okay, Mr. Davis. Let's talk about the next issue. Don't worry, my cut is very shallow and it won't leave any scars. However, if you still want to lie to me, I can't guarantee it."
"Fuck-what I said is the truth..."
A slap interrupted Davis's roar, and Xing Ze said with a smile: "Save your energy, sir, we still have many things to discuss."
An hour later, the door to the underground interrogation room opened.
John, who was guarding the door, looked at the door. Xing Ze came out and was wiping the blood on his hands with a piece of clean cotton cloth.
"Did you ask?" he asked aloud. He knew the question was stupid, but he still couldn't help but want to ask it.
Xing Ze nodded, "He doesn't know much and should be a peripheral person. But at least one thing is certain. The Mendez family has always been connected to a secret organization."
"In that case, the disappearance of Sheikh Mendez..."
"It is related to the secret organization. Judging from Davis's account, it should be the Sabbat Order. However, the meeting point of the Order is different every time. So it is difficult to determine whether these people are still in Ravenska.
village."
John took out the wine bottle and took a sip, "Do you need me to report it? If you want to investigate the Mendes family, you need procedures and documents, and only the Ministry of Magic has this power."
"No, not yet." Xing Ze waved his hand, "I don't trust the Ministry of Magic. If you tell the Ministry of Magic about the progress of the case, it will be equivalent to telling the Daily Prophet.
"When the time comes, I'm afraid R will be able to obtain the search warrant much faster than me. I don't want them to imprison the Mendez family."
John nodded, Xing Ze's words made sense. R was far superior to them in terms of connections and people. Once he knew these things, Xing Ze might as well just raise the white flag.
"Then what are your next plans?" John continued to ask, "Are you still planning to investigate secretly? Let me tell you, boy, this is not a long-term solution.
"Billy Davis is your luck. His bad habits gave you an opportunity to take advantage of him, but Mendes, Mendes is a family. You also know the consequences of provoking the wizard family."
"Yes, I have seen how powerful the Slytherin family is." Xing Ze shrugged, "Don't worry, I won't rashly provoke the Mendes family. Although I have done it once before. Facts have proved that that
It's stupid to do.
"The disappearance of Davis will definitely attract the attention of the other party. We have gone too far in the recent quarrels in Ravenska Village. It is time to slow down. However, I still want to ask you for a favor."
