Chapter 72 Social Work Methods

"Name."

"Yu Zhe..."

"age."

"...37."

"Religious background?"

"...no religious background."

"Oh, no ordination. Nationality?"

"...Are these questions really necessary? You already know who I am, don't you?"

In the makeshift interrogation room at Luoguoping.

Lin Shu stood behind Qin Lang, quietly observing the interrogation process.

Qin Lang's gaze was fixed on Yu Zhe, while Chen Zhu was also observing carefully from the side. Yu Zhe's eyes, however, remained fixed on Lin Shu with a sinister look.

Whether I ask or not is my business; whether I answer or not is your choice.

"You can choose not to answer. If you don't answer, I will assume that you are unwilling to cooperate and are a die-hard. In that case, we can't treat you like a normal criminal suspect."

Qin Lang spoke these two sentences calmly, but Lin Shu felt a chill run down her spine for no reason.

He looked at Yu Zhe, thinking angrily about his lack of ambition:

Hurry up and confess!

Don't you know who you're dealing with right now?

Do you think he's some kind of gentle and refined policeman?

This ruthless guy actually served on the front lines and wielded a spiked club!

If you're not careful and accidentally crack your skull open, you'll be in big trouble...

Seemingly sensing the hidden thoughts in Lin Shu's gaze, Yu Zhe let out a heavy sigh.

"I know it's pointless to fight against you, and I have no intention of fighting against you."

"But at least... I should have my dignity, shouldn't I? You now..."

"You don't."

Qin Lang interrupted Yu Zhe without any hesitation.

"You only have two choices: answer or not answer."

"You have no room for negotiation—you have no other choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhe slowly turned his head and looked at Qin Lang.

"What if... I have it?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, word by word:

"I am a sorcerer who practices the Yinshan magic. You are probably quite familiar with this magic, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to destroy my altar and command flag so accurately."

"In that case, you should know that my abilities go far beyond this."

"I'm no longer of use to you, but I can still cause you even more trouble."

"What's the expression for this where you're from?"

"United Front Value?"

"Yes, I still have united front value—I still have united front value to you, right?"

"So, we can still negotiate... I don't have any particular stance; as long as you meet my conditions, I'm perfectly willing to stand on your side..."

Yu Zhe's voice was deep and his tone was steady.

It's as if he wasn't a loser, but rather a desperate man who had personally entered the game and was trying to seize a chance to survive.

Seeing his expression, Qin Lang suddenly smiled.

He glanced back at Lin Shu, a hint of relief in his expression.

He then turned back to Yu Zhe.

"Is the trump card you're referring to the skeletal substitution method?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhe's body suddenly stiffened for a moment.

An expression of disbelief flashed across his face, but he calmed down the next second.

"You guessed it."

Yu Zhe took a deep breath.

"But so what?"

"Yes, I used the substitution method."

"Now, my life and death are tied to that young man behind you."

"If I die, he will die too."

"These are my terms—how about it, can we discuss it?"

"Can't."

Qin Lang shook his head again.

He waved towards the door, and Huo Qing walked in, carrying a tightly sealed body bag.

"Bang!"

The body bag was left on the ground.

Yu Zhe glanced at the body bag, then at Qin Lang.

His expression finally lost its composure—instead, it showed obvious panic.

"Impossible...impossible..."

"How could you possibly have found it?!"

"Ten Thousand Mountains... Are you kidding me!?"

"Open it! Open it and show it to me!"

"There's no need for that."

Qin Lang sneered.

"What, you think only your side has experts?"

"You're the only ones who know magic, but we can't?"

"This is not magic!"

Yu Zhe's voice was hoarse; his vocal cords were almost torn to their limit from the desperate suppression and violent emotional turmoil.

"This isn't magic... The problem is, how did you find it!?"

"Such magic—divination—doesn't exist in this world at all! And divination is nowhere to be found!"

"You can't predict the location of a drop of water in the ocean, can you? Nor can you predict the location of a grain of sand in the desert, can you?"

"How...how did you find it?!"

Yu Zhe was on the verge of emotional collapse—he had endured far too many mind-blowing shocks in just one day.

First, he was inexplicably exposed, then he was subjected to artillery fire, and then these people used drones to pull him out of his bunker, and now...

Even his last trump card was easily exposed.

But how is that possible??

Let's forget about the previous points. After all, we're facing a national-level force.

But the last one...

There's no way they could have done it!

There are always limits to strength.

In those news reports, it was said that it could take days or even months for national search and rescue teams to find a lost person in a mountain forest.

And now... only a few hours have passed.

How did they manage to do that?

This must be fake.

"It must be fake."

Yu Zhe shook his head fiercely.

"You only know that I used the substitution method, so you're trying to deceive me."

"It's not a skeleton inside, is it? It might just be half a pig, right?"

Seeing his frantic and desperate expression, Qin Lang showed a rare hint of pity.

But this pity doesn't seem to be directed at him, but rather at the "ignorance" itself.

"Science education has a long way to go..."

He sighed and began to speak:

"We cannot determine the exact location of your burial through divination, but... we can see that it is an abandoned grave."

"For us, this clue is enough."

"Don't you understand? This is a very simple social work technique."

"We have a list of all the deaths in the nearby villages from 1950 to the present."

"Similarly, we have land use rights transfer certificates and ownership details for this entire mountain forest and area—you know, if you set up a grave on someone else's land, you have to exchange land. If it's on your own land...wouldn't the user be unaware of how many graves are on their own land?"

"In addition, the Forestry Bureau has a very clear map of the graves—you know, every year during the Qingming Festival is a critical period for them to prevent fires and protect the forests, and the people here especially like to burn paper money on the mountain, so they have to mark the high-risk locations on the map and patrol them with drones."

"So, all things considered, it's not difficult to know the location of every grave in this mountain."

"And if, by chance, the grave you've chosen isn't on our list, then it'll be even easier to find."

"It was just a simple process of elimination—we originally expected it to take seven or eight hours, but we were lucky and got it done in two hours."

"You're too clever for your own good. Oh, maybe you're afraid you won't find it—so, what do you need now...?"

"Shall we open this body bag and take a look?"

In an instant, Yu Zhe completely collapsed.

He glanced at Lin Shu, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Then, his eyes revealed a deep and undisguised regret.
