441 Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here
Strictly speaking, the special department did not belong to the police department.
They existed independently and only handled special cases that proved to be a crisis to humanity.
Therefore, when Chu Cimo was falsely accused of murder by poisoning in Sea City, Captain Cui realized that this was not a typical case with his intuition and thus took over the investigation.
Unfortunately, the poisoner back then had fled and was not caught.
The enemies of the special department were an evil organization that lurked in the shadows.
This organization had been around for over 40 years and because they were well hidden, ordinary people were unaware of their existence.
The core figures in the organization were well-known scientists in various fields of biomedical research. Hence, the special department’s mission was to identify and investigate who was in the organization, to catch those who were manufacturing toxins and biochemical weapons.
Typical criminals who killed people with a knife were already considered skilled serial killers if they managed to kill several people. After all, for them to kill tens or even hundreds of people was almost impossible in this world.
However, the scientists in the organization could kill people invisibly.
For example, a pandemic could kill countless people, and a radiation explosion could bring endless disasters to humanity.
Although those scientists did not personally harm anyone, they were the biggest demons because they created biochemical weapons to harm people.
After the organization was established, the United Nations issued a new law that prohibited anyone, including scientists, from privately and actively researching toxins that were useless for humans and only served to kill them.
The No. 5 Neurotoxin was one of them.
Therefore, when Professor Z, a well-known new scientist, was found to be the one who researched the No. 5 Neurotoxin, the second team of the special department immediately concluded that Shen Ruojing was undoubtedly a member of the organization.
In the face of people with extremely harmful intentions and a deep-seated desire to seek revenge against society, the special department had the right to balance the pros and cons and carry out extreme interrogation methods if necessary.
This was because blindly following the rules might delay the best interrogation timing and harm more people.
Of course, after doing so, their superiors must make a judgment based on the situation at the time. If it was for unnecessary revenge, such behavior would be punished.
For example, at this moment, the No. 5 Neurotoxin had already been invented for thirteen years, and there was no urgency to save people, so it was not appropriate for Zheng Yi and others to use torture against Shen Ruojing.
However, they hated this toxin too much.
This toxin was colorless, odorless, and incurable! In the process of fighting against that organization, they had sacrificed too many loved ones, compatriots, and comrades! Hence, when faced with “evil personnel” like Professor Z, they were naturally angry.
At this moment, after seeing Shen Ruojing no longer struggling, Zheng Yi thought that his interrogation had worked, and he began to ask her coldly.
“What’s your name?”
Shen Ruojing hesitated and clenched her fists. However, when she looked at those angry people, she lowered her eyes and cooperated with the investigation, “Shen Ruojing.”
“Gender?”
“Female.”
“Age?”
“25.”
“Did you invent the No. 5 Neurotoxin?”
“…Yes.”
Zheng Yi paused, and for the first time, his gaze fell on her face.
The woman looked very young, making it difficult for him to imagine that she was only 11 years old when she developed the No. 5 Neurotoxin.
An 11-year-old child was still at the stage where their values had not stabilized. Perhaps she had committed the crime back then because she was under temptation.
Perhaps it was because of Shen Ruojing’s cooperation, or perhaps it was because Zheng Yi thought that she was only 11 years old at the time, but Zheng Yi’s attitude finally became slightly better.
He asked, “Do you know that there is an evil organization in the world called Doom?”
Shen Ruojing’s fingers stiffened.
Doom, when translated into Chinese, means destruction.
The Doom organization somehow obtained the formula for the No. 5 Neurotoxin and began to produce it in large quantities. Shen Ruojing knew about them of course.
Back then, the small organizations that she, Dugu Xiao, and Chu Cichen eradicated together were their nests.
Shen Ruojing pursed her lips and remained silent.
“You know.”
Zheng Yi read her expression and became more and more certain that she was related to Doom. “You were still young at the time. Maybe you were deceived or coerced by them, so you still have a chance. The only thing you can do now is to cooperate with our investigation. We will also try to get you a reduced sentence, otherwise, you will be facing lifelong imprisonment!”
After he finished speaking, he asked, “How do you communicate with the Doom organization?”
Shen Ruojing looked up and said, “I have no connection with them.”
“Bang!”
Zheng Yi angrily threw the notebook in his hand on the table and cursed, “They have been using the No. 5 Neurotoxin you invented. Now, you’re telling me you have nothing to do with them? Do you think I’ll believe you? This is your last chance. If you don’t tell the truth, don’t blame us for using torture on you!
“Speak up. What’s your relationship with the Doom organization? What’s your position in it?”
Shen Ruojing took a deep breath and said, “I really have no connection with them. Captain Cui told me about this organization and asked me to help them solve a case. I am an outsider brought in by Captain Cui.”
“F*ck your fake outsider status!” Zheng Yi angrily stared at her. “How could Captain Cui let a social scum help out in this case?”
Shen Ruojing replied, “You can ask Captain Cui.”
However, Zheng Yi sneered. “Captain Cui is on a mission and won’t be back for a week. You’re obviously just stalling for time. Looks like you won’t cry until you see the coffin! Hmph, don’t blame us for being rude then!”
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly, grabbed an electric baton next to him, and approached Shen Ruojing step by step.
Shen Ruojing stared coldly ahead. The bright light in the interrogation room made it difficult for her to see his face as he approached.
It wasn’t until he stood in front of her that Shen Ruojing saw the black stick he was holding in his hand. Her body involuntarily twitched.
She had been electrically shocked when carrying out a mission. The feeling of all-over pain was still fresh in her memory.
Hence, she tightened her fists, and her heart started to pound.
Should she resist?
But she was indeed responsible for the No. 5 Neurotoxin incident…
She took a deep breath and looked at Zheng Yi lifting the electric baton. She then slowly closed her eyes.
If she should endure some pain for them to vent their anger, then so be it…
Zheng Yi turned on the electric baton, and the sound of electric current crackled in Shen Ruojing’s ears. She could almost imagine the uncontrollable pain and embarrassment that would come when the baton fell on her.
But at the next moment, sounds of fighting suddenly came from outside the interrogation room.
“Stop him!”
“This is an interrogation room. No unauthorized people are allowed in!”
“You’re attacking the police. If you move again, we’ll shoot!”
Then, the familiar voice that seemed to appear every time she was in the dark rang out.
“Shen Ruojing! Don’t be afraid, I’m here!”
