A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

"Haha, Little Ji, that's exactly what I've been waiting for you to say!"

Deputy Director Liu laughed heartily, patting Ji Zuodao's shoulder repeatedly with his fan-like hands.

The force was so great that the expensive floor tiles beneath Ji Zuodao's feet groaned under the weight and sank slightly.

Ji Zuo said: "..."

He looked down at the crack, then looked up at Director Liu's hearty smile, and a question lingered in his mind:

Goodness, this deputy director must be a master of physical strength! With that kind of power, he'd definitely be a pro at demolishing houses.

At this moment, the young Fu Xiu turned his head and saw Deputy Director Liu entering the room. He subconsciously called out, "Father."

Deputy Director Liu raised his hand and smacked him on the back of the head, laughing and scolding:

"You brat, how many times have I told you, address people by their official titles in the bureau!"

"Yes, Father."

Ji Zuodao's lips twitched slightly.

Okay, I've seen the look in their eyes, they're father and son, no doubt about it.

"Come on, let me introduce you."

"This is my son, Liu Ming. He's two years older than you and also an investigator in the bureau. He's straightforward and a good person. Xiao Ming, this is Ji Zuodao, a top expert I specially recruited. From now on, we'll be colleagues."

Just as Ji Zuodao was about to exchange a few polite words, the woman who had been silent on the interrogation chair suddenly giggled, her voice carrying a sticky, seductive quality.

"Oh my, who do we have here? Isn't this our wise and mighty Director Liu? What, seeing that your son is useless, you've specially found such a handsome young man for me?"

"Hopefully, this one won't be like Young Master Liu, all show and no substance, just a pretty face with no substance."

"You fucking...!"

Veins bulged on Liu Ming's forehead as he clenched the talisman in his hand.

"Brother Ji, step aside, let her rinse her mouth properly with this bucket of talisman water first!"

"Hey, Brother Liu, why get angry, and why waste such a fine talisman?"

"There's no need to make a big fuss to deal with this kind of bluffing."

Ji Zuodao still wore that harmless smile, as if he hadn't heard the woman's sarcastic remarks at all.

He waved to the big black dog that had been yawning by the interrogation room door:

"Dog, stop being lazy and get up and move around."

The big black dog rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner before reluctantly standing up and slowly walking over.

With its front paws gripping the interrogation table, it huffed and puffed as it climbed up. Its enormous head was level with the face of the bound woman, and its dog eyes met the human eyes.

The woman was taken aback at first, then her eyes became even more alluring, and her voice was so sweet it could drip honey.

"Oh my, young master, so this is your kind of thing? You should have said so earlier, I'd be happy to play any game with you..."

Before she could finish speaking, something terrifying happened.

The big, seemingly clumsy black dog uttered the same seductive, hooked voice as her.

He repeated her true thoughts at that moment word for word:

"What kind of person is this brat? He seems really sinister, I need to be careful..."

The woman's charming smile froze instantly, the color draining from her face in a flash, and for the first time, genuine terror appeared in her eyes.

A chill ran down her spine as she thought, "How could it...?"

The moment this thought crossed her mind, the big black dog slowly and deliberately finished the sentence in her voice:

"...Do you know what I'm thinking?"

The woman's face turned deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any color, and she looked at Dog Master as if she had seen a ghost.

Ji Zuodao's smile deepened, and he nodded to the Liu family father and son.

"Director Liu, Brother Liu, now we should be able to get some truth out of you. You two are busy, I'm new here, so I'll excuse myself for a moment."

After saying that, he very sensibly left the interrogation room, gently closing the heavy door behind him.

Inside the interrogation room, the situation completely reversed.

No matter how hard the woman tried to clear her mind, or how much she deliberately let her imagination run wild to interfere with her judgment.

The big black dog could always accurately capture and repeat the most secret and unspeakable information in her heart.

Seeing the woman's eyes widen from shock to despair, the big black dog grinned in a very human-like manner, as if silently mocking her.

Liu Ming's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly:

"Wow! Dad! That's amazing! Where did you find such a divine being? You even have this incredible beast that can read minds!"

"From now on, who will dare to say that all the 749 cadets in Jinghai are just reckless brutes who only know how to fight?"

As he spoke, he couldn't resist reaching out to touch Dog's glossy fur.

But the dog gently brushed it away with its paw, its eyes filled with disdain that seemed to say, "Don't touch me."

"Otherwise what?"

Deputy Director Liu rolled his eyes at his son.

"Do you know how much I had to say, how many good cigarettes and liquors I had to give to persuade those three old monsters to release them?"

"Three old monsters? Dad, who are they?"

Liu Ming's curiosity was instantly piqued.

Deputy Director Liu raised his hand as if to slap the back of his head again:

"I told you to use her title in the bureau! Don't ask questions you shouldn't! Instead of wasting your time, you should think about what to do next—based on the information she gave, this is going to be a tricky situation."

Liu Ming covered the back of his head, his eyes darting around:

"Then...why don't you ask Brother Ji? He seems clever and has some wild ideas."

"become."

Outside the interrogation room, Ji Zuodao was squatting in the corner, intently rubbing his phone screen, muttering to himself:

"It's the last circle. If I can hold on, I might be able to turn the tables..."

Just then, the interrogation room door slammed open, and a large hand reached out, grabbing him by the back of his collar and dragging him inside.

"Hey! Director Liu, what are you doing! Wait until I finish this game! I'm going to get a chicken dinner right away! My level 3 helmet! My airdrop weapon..."

……

"So, this woman's accomplices kidnapped the Zhao family's youngest daughter, and now you're worried about how to rescue her?"

"No, didn't she already reveal everything? Address, number of people, cultivation level... Just call in reinforcements, grab your weapons and go there, isn't that enough?"

Ji Zuodao looked puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Liu's face scrunched up in a bitter expression.

"Hey, Xiao Ji, let me be frank with you. When it comes to assaults and close-quarters combat, our Jinghai 749 unit is absolutely the best among all the branches across the country!"

He gave a thumbs up, then his tone shifted, filled with helplessness:

"But when it comes to delicate tasks, like infiltration or rescue—technical jobs... I'm really afraid those young punks in the department will get carried away and just wipe out the kidnappers and hostages together!"

"What's more, those scum are hiding in an old, run-down neighborhood, and the residents, in a sense, are all their hostages!"

Ji Zuodao understood instantly.

Good grief, Jinghai 749 has really messed up his skill tree.

Its attack power is off the charts, but its other support and control skills are basically useless.

"Well..."

Ji Zuodao's eyes darted around, he rubbed his hands together, and a troubled yet sly look appeared on his face.

"I do have one solution."

"But Uncle Liu, as you know, the methods my masters taught me are a bit... well, they're against nature, harmful to people, and not very environmentally friendly."

Deputy Director Liu immediately understood, waved his hand dismissively, and spoke with an air of "I get it" magnanimity:

"Xiao Ji, go for it! I'll cover for you. This woman, given what she's done, deserves to be executed ten times over; that would be too lenient. We'd waste several kilograms of bullets!"

"Use it as you please, don't be shy. Anyway, her file can easily say... well, she suddenly fell seriously ill during the interrogation and couldn't be saved."

"clear!"

Ji Zuodao's lips slowly parted, revealing a sinister smile, as if he had found a beloved toy.

The big black dog at his feet also grinned, its murky saliva dripping from its fangs onto the floor tiles with a soft "hissing" sound.
