NOVEL NEXT Chapter 125: Better than a Lie Detector
"Alright."
The Female Official Guard Squad Captain, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, didn't say much and turned to the suspect, asking, "You say that at the time of the incident, you were not present at all?"
Although the Female Official Guard Squad Captain asked, it didn't mean she believed Wang Ye.
In the eyes of the Female Official Guard Squad Captain, Wang Ye had become nothing more than a person looking for excuses to get close to her.
She was considering that if Wang Ye didn't prove useful subsequently, she would detain him for a few days on the charge of disturbing public order.
"Yes." The suspect replied, "I was celebrating a friend's birthday at the KTV at that time. All the friends present knew this. You can ask them."
The suspect spoke very fluently.
When speaking, his eyes were always gazing into the beautiful eyes of the Female Official Guard Squad Captain.
Without the slightest hint of guilt in his expression.
And after the suspect finished this sentence, the lie detector showed no reaction.
The Female Official Guard Squad Captain looked towards Wang Ye, signaling that it was his turn to proceed.
Wang Ye looked at the suspect, who, upon seeing Wang Ye's gaze on him, also maintained eye contact.
The look in his eyes was quite provocative.
In the suspect's opinion, Wang Ye was surely only trying to get close to the Female Official Guard Squad Captain, not possessing any real abilities.
"When he just spoke that sentence, his mental state was not nervous, but the slight opening of the corner of his mouth revealed his pride in his own lies."
"In addition, although he was always looking directly into your eyes, from another aspect, it made you overlook other issues he might have. When he just said that sentence, his fingertips subconsciously..."
Wang Ye kept talking.
He pointed out every hint in the body language of the suspect when uttering that sentence.
Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, the Female Official Guard Squad Captain looked at him with surprise, as if she had not expected Wang Ye to actually have so much to say.
In her view, Wang Ye claiming he had a way to deal with the suspect was just a deliberate ploy to approach her, and she didn't believe he had any real methods to resolve the issue.
But what Wang Ye said
was very professional.
She looked at the suspect, observing the changes in his facial expressions, and noticed that, indeed, the suspect's expression changed after listening to what Wang Ye pointed out.
"Useful!"
The Female Official Guard Squad Captain immediately made a judgment in her mind.
The suspect, despite showing little reaction on his face after hearing Wang Ye's words, was internally shaken.
Wang Ye had captured nearly every detail of the suspect's movements, and even the thoughts in his heart when he had spoken just now.
Without missing a mark.
This made the provocation in the suspect's eyes towards Wang Ye disappear.
Instead, he started to show apprehension.
The Female Official Guard Squad Captain interrogated the suspect again.
This time.
The suspect tried to conceal all the movements he had just made.
Yet, Wang Ye still pointed out from the micro-expressions that the suspect was lying as he spoke.
Next, the Female Official Guard Squad Captain continued her questioning.
With each question, she looked at Wang Ye, waiting for him to provide an explanation.
And every time, Wang Ye identified the issues with the suspect.
The more Wang Ye pointed out the suspect's problems, the worse the suspect's mental state became, and in the subsequent process, he could no longer maintain his initial composure.
Therefore, his attempts at deception became riddled with flaws.
Even without Wang Ye's guidance, based on the lie detector and the observations of the Female Official Guard Squad Captain, it would have been possible to see through him.
The suspect looked at Wang Ye with resentment in his eyes.
Outside the interrogation room.
A few members of the Official Guard Squad had gathered around and peeked inside, then closed the door, having seen nothing.
Consequently, they turned their attention to the guard squad member who had just been persuading the Female Official Guard Squad Captain and asked, "We just saw a man go in with Captain Liu; what's all that about?"
The guard squad member then explained the recent incident involving Wang Ye and the Female Official Guard Squad Captain.
Upon hearing what this guard squad member said, the others voiced their doubts:
"You're all just clutching at straws. That kid is obviously just looking for an excuse to get close to Captain Liu; how could he possibly have a solution?"
"Exactly, we all know Captain Liu's capabilities. For someone who has made Captain Liu that furious, if he is just an ordinary guy, how could he possibly resolve it?"
"That man had just completed his statement with me. He's the double champion of the Treasure Appraisal Contest and the Pharmacopoeia Contest. It's already extraordinary that he's proficient in these two fields, but to say that he can resolve Captain Liu's issue, I simply can't believe he has that ability."
The guard squad members all spoke up, skeptical of Wang Ye's strength.
This caused the initial guard squad member to also murmur in doubt, "Could it be that Captain Liu has truly been deceived? Have I also been deceived? Ah, considering how confident that man was when he spoke, I thought he really had the expertise."
Xia Qingxin, who was standing by, couldn't stand listening to the words of the guard squad members anymore.
She believed that her junior brother indeed had such ability.
Therefore, Xia Qingxin retorted:
"What are you all talking about? My junior brother definitely has the skills. He's here helping you, and yet you speak of him like this; don't you feel any shame?"
"Tsk!"
The guard squad members, after hearing Xia Qingxin's words, spoke directly to her, "Miss Xia, we would also like to believe that Master Wang truly has such strength, but the reality is such; I'm afraid Master Wang is not up to the task."
"Yes, who is Captain Liu? She's a well-known leader of Yun City's Official Guard Squad, and even Captain Liu can't find a solution, so what can Master Wang possibly do?"
And just then.
Creak.
The door to the interrogation room opened.
Wang Ye and Captain Liu, whom they had been discussing, walked out of the interrogation room.
And inside the interrogation room, the suspect was now sprawled over the table, looking utterly despondent.
