Chapter 144 Interrogation

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing hurried back, looking exhausted and serious.

As soon as they returned to the camp, the two men did not take time to rest and immediately began to interrogate the other captives brought back from Jinlu Mountain.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was so tense that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Jiang Lingyin stared at the trembling captive in front of him with a sharp gaze, and asked sternly: "Tell me! How did you survive in Jinlu Mountain?"

The prisoner lowered his head and answered with a trembling voice: "It is... the villagers of Xiangyun Village who have been helping us, sir."

Jiang Lingyin frowned and asked, "How do you help? Tell me in detail!"

The prisoner swallowed and continued, "Supplies are scarce in Jinlu Mountain. Our food, clothing and daily necessities are all transported to us by the villagers of Xiangyun Village."

At the same time, in another interrogation room, Ye Wenjing sat upright, looking at the prisoner in front of him with dignity.

He said in a deep voice: "Besides daily necessities, what else is there? Don't try to hide it, otherwise you will be in trouble!"

The captive trembled with fear and said quickly: "Sir, I dare not hide it. Xiangyun Village receives a certain amount of money from Wulian Villa every year, and then helps us transport supplies and forge weapons."

Ye Wenjing slammed the table and shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

After careful and relentless interrogation, they finally pieced together some crucial information from the prisoners.

It turns out that these people in Jinlu Mountain have long relied on the assistance of the villagers of Xiangyun Village for their survival.

Jinlu Mountain is located in a remote area with extremely scarce resources. All kinds of daily necessities have to be transported into the mountain by the villagers of Xiangyun Village over and over again.

Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing met and discussed the interrogation situation.

Jiang Lingyin said: "I didn't expect Xiangyun Village to be so deeply involved."

Ye Wenjing nodded and responded: "Yes, and the number of these weapons is probably beyond our imagination."

Jiang Lingyin frowned, looking worried: "What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this? Why is Xiangyun Village willing to take the risk to help?"

Ye Wenjing pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he was driven by interests, or maybe he was threatened."

Jiang Lingyin snorted coldly: "No matter what the reason is, their actions of privately manufacturing weapons have violated the laws of our dynasty."

Ye Wenjing looked at Jiang Lingyin and said solemnly: "Ayin, we must act cautiously from now on and not alert the enemy."

Jiang Lingyin nodded and agreed: "Well, we need to find out their details and find the mastermind behind them."

Ye Wenjing continued, "We also need to find out the source of those weapons. Maybe we can find out who is behind it."

Jiang Lingyin seemed to be thinking: "What role do you think Wulian Villa plays in this?"

Ye Wenjing shook his head: "It is still unknown at the moment, but what is certain is that they are definitely not good people."

Jiang Lingyin clenched her fists and said firmly, "No matter what, we must get to the bottom of the truth and give the people peace."

Jiang Lingyin's eyes were filled with determination: "Yes, we must not let these criminals go unpunished."

Ye Wenjing's expression was serious: "So we must speed up and be prepared before they take action."

Jiang Lingyin frowned: "Then what should we do with the villagers of Xiangyun Village?"

Ye Wenjing thought for a moment: "We can't generalize. Maybe some villagers were forced to participate. We have to treat them differently."

Jiang Lingyin sighed: "This is really a tricky problem."

Ye Wenjing patted Jiang Lingyin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. As long as we work together, we can definitely solve it."

In addition to the large number of weapons hidden in Jinlu Mountain, the people sent by Ye Wenjing also collected a considerable number of weapons from Xiangyun Village.

This discovery made Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing's expressions instantly become more solemn.

They knew very well that such a large number of weapons meant possible huge threats and potential dangers.

The first thing that comes to mind is treason.

Jiang Lingyin said worriedly: "If so many weapons fall into the hands of criminals, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ye Wenjing clenched his fists and said, "We must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

The seriousness of this matter far exceeded their initial expectations, and there may be more complicated forces and conspiracies behind it.

Now, they have to rack their brains to think about how to deal with this extremely difficult situation.

How to properly handle the relationship with Xiangyun Village has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently. Should severe punishment be imposed or a combination of kindness and severity be used?

At the same time, they also have to plan how to completely solve the problem of Jinlu Mountain and eliminate potential threats in order to maintain peace in the area.

Ye Wenjing frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Ayin, we have to make a long-term plan. First, we need to send people to monitor Xiangyun Village's every move to prevent any more weapons from leaking out."

Jiang Lingyin nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, this is a top priority. But we can't let the villagers panic too much, so as not to cause unnecessary chaos."

Ye Wenjing looked deep in his eyes and said slowly, "That's right. We can first secretly investigate the key figures in the transaction with Wulian Villa. Starting with them, we may be able to find more clues."

Jiang Lingyin's eyes were firm as she continued, "As for the weapons that have been discovered, they must be strictly controlled and there cannot be any mistakes."

Ye Wenjing crossed his arms, thought for a moment and said, "I think we can send some people to disguise themselves and sneak into Xiangyun Village to find out what the villagers have to say and see if we can find out something that we haven't grasped yet."

Jiang Lingyin agreed: "This is a good idea, but we must ensure that our people are not discovered, so as not to alert the enemy."

Ye Wenjing nodded and continued, "Also, we need to interrogate the captives again. Maybe they are hiding something."

Jiang Lingyin sighed: "I hope to get more useful information out of them. But this matter cannot be rushed, we need to use a method."

Ye Wenjing said thoughtfully: "Perhaps we can use some psychological tactics to make them reveal their flaws."

Jiang Lingyin pursed her lips and said, "No matter what, we must be careful and not let the people behind the scenes notice our actions."

Ye Wenjing patted Jiang Lingyin on the shoulder and encouraged her: "Don't worry, as long as we proceed step by step, we will be able to uncover the mystery behind this."

Jiang Lingyin took a deep breath, her eyes full of determination: "Well, I always feel at ease with you around."
