47. Case confluence
Lan didn't even ask a single question for the first five minutes of the interrogation.
He just moved his hands, pressed the triangular nail on the outside of the glove into Willis's skin deeply, and then pulled slowly, slowly.
Unlike the abrupt and swift punch that had come before, the pain of his skin being slowly ripped off by steel and power could be felt by Willis's flesh.
For a person who has just lost the sensation of his lower body and his sense of security has plummeted, this slow pain can simply drive people crazy!
"Ah!! Yes!!! β
The screams sounded like they were about to tear their vocal cords apart.
"Ask! You ask! I'll say whatever you ask, as long as you kill me afterward! Ask! Ask! β
Willis's fingers scratched wildly at Ran's steel bracers, his nails flipped over, leaving bloody finger marks.
But both in terms of the quality of the High Bear School's armor and the strength of Lan En's own arms.
Willis's struggles all seemed insignificant.
Rann ignored his shouts and continued to do so, not stopping until the five-minute alarm set by Mentos went off.
At this time, Willis was already frightened.
He knew intellectually that his information was needed, otherwise there would be no need to torture.
But Lan En's behavior of not caring whether you can stand it or not, I came directly for five minutes first, revealing an attitude that seemed to not care about his life at all, and let his sensibility overwhelm his reason.
Willis knew he was going to die, the moment he broke his lumbar vertebrae, but he didn't want to taste more pain before he died, not at all.
Lan's blood-stained face looked at the victim calmly, but Willis felt a chill all over his body under this calm.
"First question, are you here for me?"
The witcher let go of his fist against Willis slightly.
"Nope! No! I don't even know who you are! We thought we just saw two lonely unlucky people on the road, and then we thought......"
Coincidental? That is, the possibility of revenge disappears.
But at the same time, it means that another possibility has come true.
The words were accompanied by a roar of pain.
"Ah, understood. Cannibals aren't easy, and it's normal to want to save some food, right? β
Lane didn't seem to care at all about what Willis said behind him.
"Second question, you are also the ones who took children in Willen on a large scale?"
"Yes, it's us. Although the children tasted better, we also needed money, and after we came to Willen, there were people who paid a good price for the children. β
Lane looked at Willis and nodded without any waves.
Even cannibals are unlikely to be detached from social life.
Salt, iron, cloth, timber, livestock...... Cannibals can't do without these.
And to be self-sufficient in these things, the manpower required is enough to form a small society.
But as long as you participate in the economic activities of the society, that is, spend money, these things are materials that can be easily done as long as you have money.
In this regard, the two most influential cases in Willen today, the cannibal sect and the mass disappearance of children, can be identified as the same gang.
But Lan's expression did not have the joy of solving the case.
He is not a detective and has no hobby of solving crimes.
The merger of the two cases was just an extra layer of determination for him to add to the already bloody situation.
Whatever other disgusting sins they had, the moment they shot Bernie and kidnapped White, human life was the price that Lanne would have to ask them for.
"Now that the motivation is clear, let's talk about what's really important. Just one question......"
The studded leather gloves were fingers apart and placed on Willis's celestial lid.
The muscles on his fingers swelled inch by inch, and the muscles flared up, and Lan En's originally calm face seemed to twitch at this time because of the anger that could no longer be concealed.
Willis's upper body was held by his hands on the skull, and he was pulled slightly off the ground.
The cat's eyes were close to the other party's eyes in Willis's extremely panicked and resistant expression.
"Tell me, where are you going to take the child?"
Willis, who originally knew everything, was a little hesitant at this time.
Lan En keenly captured this.
"Ah, it's not easy, you hesitated. It seems that the place where those children are being held is very important to you, and it is still your home base? It makes sense, after all, it's important 'cargo'. And the place of detention and the point of transport are not too far away, because the 'goods' are very conspicuous, and in Willen you can only sea by water...... Your base camp is on the west coast of Willen? β
Mentos quickly suggested the possibility, and Lan's consciousness simultaneously made a sifting judgment.
In the midst of this icy rage, the efficiency of the witcher's brain cells was so fast that he was a little surprised himself.
Willis's eyes flickered suddenly.
Lan knew he had guessed correctly.
So, very abruptly.
The punch of "Bang" hit Willis in the side face again.
His pupils began to drift for a moment...... This extremely sudden punch completely blinded him from both physical to psychological.
And when the right fist hammers the man, Lan's left hand changes the gesture synchronously.
A misty cold white magic glimmer was aimed at Willis's head.
Seal of Axifah.
Willis's head was now dangling around his neck like an overdrunk drunkard, delirious.
"Tell me where you are, Willis."
Len spoke unwaveringly, as if he were a hypnotic setting.
"Weilun is not big, you have also seen my skills, how long can I walk through the places where dozens or hundreds of people can be hidden on the western coast of Weilun? Anyway, you can't hide it, why don't you say it and give yourself a happy ending? β
One of the main reasons why witchers can't rely on the Axifah Seal to do anything reckless is that the Axifah Seal is extremely ineffective.
A warrior like Willis, who fights head-on with people and does not change his face, is likely to be stunned for less than two seconds if he is hit by the French seal.
Because they are strong-willed and murderous.
The mind control techniques of some powerful warlocks can make this kind of person turn around and cut off his wife and children without stopping.
But for the witcher's spell tricksβ
Even if it is a clichΓ©, Lan En must first weaken Willis's body and spirit, and then suddenly beat him, and then give a reluctant self-consistent reason to make Willis open his mouth without reservation.
"yes, yes, I can't hide it anyway......"
Willis's words were like a dream.
"On the western coast of Willen, near a village called Condale, we set up camp in the middle of that hill."
"The village? Have you eaten up that village? β
Lan En shook off the pieces of skin wrapped around the triangular nails of his glove and asked softly.
"No...... 'Headeater' doesn't allow us to hunt nearby...... He said something like that, and we wouldn't even be able to stay in Willen for two years before we were discovered. β
"'Headeater'? Who's that? β
"Our Leader...... We don't know what his original name is, and he never says. It's just because he likes to eat boiled human heads, that's what we call him. β
Lan En's hand flickered on the back of his waist, and the cold light of the hunting knife flickered in his palm.
"You don't know what his name is, so you think he's the boss? When did there become so much trust within a criminal gang? β
"Because...... He can bring food ...... Get the money. He brought back the children's trade this time. It was also his idea for me to wear this outfit, although he looked like a wild boar with no brains, but in fact, he had the best brains...... Wait a minute! What are you doing? What did I say?! No, no, no...... It's not the same as saying yes! It's not the same! Yes!!!! β
