Chapter Eighty-Seven: Silver Needle Interrogation

  It was summer when I first arrived at the Qiao's, although Xiao Qiao lived in the Qiao Building, it wasn't the real Qiao house. The real Qiao house was a large complex of buildings that occupied a vast area of land, with villas and ordinary houses, as well as gardens, swimming pools and other facilities.

  The Qiao family's land is located in the city, and in this area where every inch of land is precious, it would have been impossible to occupy such a large piece of land. However, the Qiao family had bought this land decades ago when the price was still very cheap, so even though this land is now worth a lot of money, no one can say anything about it.

  The Qiao family is the number one family in Jianghai City, but everyone acknowledges that the Qiao family is not as wealthy as the Ye family. However, some people say that if the Qiao family were to include this piece of land, they would actually be wealthier than the Ye family. Of course, everyone knows that the Qiao family will never sell this land, it's their foundation.

  The car drove in from the main gate and went straight to a row of bungalows at the back, where Qiao Donghai had arranged for the interrogation to take place. Apparently, this was not the first time Qiao Donghai had used such private punishment.

  Qiao Donghai had been waiting for Xia Tian, although it was less than two hours since they last met, but Qiao Donghai couldn't help but admit that his impression of Xia Tian had changed once again. This guy just took Xiao Qiao out for a stroll and then settled two killers, this wasn't something an ordinary person could do.

  "In summer, investigating this matter is not as good as letting my people do it." Qiao Donghai proposed, "I believe they can pry open the mouths of these two people."

  Qiao Donghai was also kind-hearted and felt that it wasn't necessary for him to personally interrogate these characters in the summer, so he handed them over to professional personnel.

  "No need, I'll do it myself." But Xia Tian didn't take the hint, and of course, Qiao Donghai had no idea that Xia Tian was actually a professional too, even more so than his subordinates.

  "Alright then." Qiao Donghai didn't force the issue either. "Little Qiao, you go rest first, don't look at these things anymore."

  "Let Xiao Qiao follow us anyway, I don't dare guarantee there won't be a third killer." But Xia Tian was not at ease and pulled Xiao Qiao into the room.

  "This, in the summer, isn't this a bit too much? Little Qiao is just a girl, seeing that scene, she'll have nightmares at night." Qiao Donghai couldn't help but laugh and cry, how could they let Little Qiao see such a bloody and violent scene?

  "Don't worry, there won't be any bloody scenes." Xia Tian knew what Qiao Donghai meant and looked unimpressed.

  Qiao Donghai found that he really couldn't communicate with Xia Tian, because this kid never had the intention of communicating with him from start to finish. Once this kid opened his mouth and said what to do, it was necessary to do so, and there was no possibility of changing his mind.

  Those two killers were thrown to the ground, and Xia Tian walked in, took out a silver needle and pricked each of them several times. They both opened their eyes, wanting to move but found they couldn't budge.

  The pain on his body was still clearly transmitted, especially the hitman wearing a police uniform. The three gunshot wounds were still painful and had not stopped at all. In comparison, the guy wearing the Real Madrid jersey was much better. He only felt that his head was still a bit sore.

  The two looked at Xia Tian, and there was a hint of horror in their eyes. In the data, this person didn't exist at all, but his strength far exceeded anyone who had appeared in the data.

  "Who are you?" The first one to speak was not Xia Tian, but the assassin wearing a Real Madrid jersey.

  "My name is Xia Tian, the summer of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the first heaven under the sky." Xia Tian picked up a stool and sat down in front of the killer, casually putting Qiao Xiaoqiao on his lap. "You want to kill my wife, but you don't even know me, this is your biggest failure."

  "My codename is Thirty-Six, you can call me San Liu." The assassin sneered, "Since I've fallen into your hands, then I'll accept my fate, go ahead and kill me."

  "That's right, kill quickly and don't think about getting anything out of our mouths." The killer in police uniform also spoke up.

  "Of course, I won't let you live. I won't give you another chance to kill my wife." Xia Tian glanced at the assassin in police uniform, "I know you want to die quickly, but unfortunately, I won't let you die that quickly unless I get the information I want."

  "You're quite skilled with your hands, but your brain isn't much to brag about. What do you think you can get out of us?" The killer in the police uniform sneered.

  In the summer, Xia Tian held a silver needle and suddenly stabbed it into the killer's body wearing a police uniform.

  "Ah!" The killer in police uniform was caught off guard, letting out a short and pained cry, but it quickly stopped. He looked at Xia Tian with some disdain, "Is that all you've got?"

  "Actually, the first needle I gave you just made your pain sensation more sensitive. In other words, it makes you more afraid of pain than usual. Of course, you think it's no big deal now because I've only increased the sensitivity by ten times. But when I give you a few more needles and increase it to a hundred or even a thousand times, just a slap on the ear will make you feel like you're going to die. Summer picked up the silver needle again and stabbed it in, "I know you might not believe me, but you should be feeling more pain now."

  "Ah……" The killer in police uniform let out another shrill cry, gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the miserable scream, but his face was already drenched with sweat, clearly on the verge of losing all patience.

  "In fact, in this world, no one is a man of steel. Everyone has a limit to their tolerance for pain. Unfortunately, in front of me, all limits are useless. I can infinitely amplify your sensitivity to pain, and even the slightest pain will be unbearable for you." Xia Tian smiled as he looked at the killer in police uniform, "Do you think you're the ace of the Dark Shadow Team, so you're very formidable?"

  "You, how did you know about the Shadow Gang?" The assassin's face changed color in shock.

  "I know a lot of things, for example, your killers are actually divided into four levels. There are twelve gold medal killers, twenty-four silver medal killers, thirty-six bronze medal killers, and the lowest level of killers, one hundred and eight, his code name is 36, obviously it's the lowest level. As for you, your strength seems to be a bit stronger, could you be a bronze medal killer?" Xia Tian said in one breath, then shook his head, "What I want to know today is not who the leader of your Shadow Team is and that kind of thing. With your identity, you wouldn't possibly know that kind of thing either."

  "What is it that you want to know?" asked the guy with codename thirty-six.

  "Who hired you to kill my wife?" Xia Tian asked.

  "You're so familiar with our organization, you should know that at our level, it's impossible to know such a secret thing." Code 36 said calmly.

  "Oh, you're right, I was just casually asking anyway." Xia Tian suddenly raised his hand and gave the police killer another injection. This time, the police killer let out a shocking scream that lasted for tens of seconds before fainting.

  After knocking out the police officer, Xia Tian continued to stare at Code 36: "He's passed out, that's his luck. But I'm actually a divine doctor, and I have a way to keep someone awake all the time. If you don't want to suffer like him, I advise you not to tell any lies."

  "I'm a dead man anyway, what's the point of lying? I just hope you keep your promise and give me a quick death." Code 36 was quite straightforward, "However, since you know my position is not high, you should understand that I don't know much either."

  "There's something I think you should know. Besides the two of you, who else came to kill my wife this time?" Xia Tian asked slowly and calmly.

  "According to the intelligence department's assessment, either one of us is enough to complete the task. The reason we came in two is because Miss Qiao has a special identity, just in case. Therefore, apart from us, the organization did not send out other assassins." Code 36 replied without any hesitation.

  "If you're dead, how long will it take for your organization to send another killer after us?" Xia Tian asked again.

  "It's hard to say, if we fail, the intelligence department will reassess and that takes time. I think it'll take at least a week before a new assassin is sent out." Code 36 replied without much hesitation.

  Xiatian asked a few more questions and then gave Daima Sanliu a shot, rendering him speechless. He then gave Jingfu Sha Shou several shots, waking him up.

  "How about it? Are you willing to talk now?" Xia Tian asked lightly, "If you don't speak, I'll keep you awake and maintain a thousand times the sensitivity of pain perception."

  "You, what do you want to know?" the killer in police uniform asked in a hoarse voice.

  ……

  Half an hour later, Xia Tian walked out of the room with Qiao Xiaoqiao in his arms. Qiao Donghai looked at Xia Tian and felt a bit speechless. This so-called coercion was indeed not bloody at all, but it was surprisingly effective, making him involuntarily admire.

  Unfortunately, although they were very effective, the two people knew very little about the matter and could not get any news from their employer. The only gain was that they knew that within a week or so, Qiao Xiaoqiao would not be disturbed by the killer.

  "Qiao, it's getting late too, why don't you and Xia Tian stay here tonight?" said Qiao Donghai.

  "No, I'm going back to Qiao Corporation." But Qiao Xiaoqiao refused outright, she was more used to staying there.

  "Alright, I'll have someone send you over." Qiao Donghai was also at a loss with this younger cousin.

  The mobile phone rang at this time in summer.

  "Little rascal, it's me!" came Liu Meng's voice over the phone, "Where are you?"

  "Meng Jie, have you come back?" Xia Tian asked in return.

  "No, mom said I'm out of touch with society and told me to study at home for a while before going to see you." Liu Meng looked a bit unhappy, "Little rascal, why don't you come find me instead?"
