Chapter 823 Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist

"Advisor, regarding the Miss Meizhiliu we brought back, the household registration department sent us a letter telling us that there is no such person."

As soon as everyone stood up and followed Gu Chen out of the operations room, they ran into Shi Xinyu who had come back to report the situation, and then learned about the identity background check from her.

"No such person exists?!"

Beidou Xingsi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He certainly knew what this meant.

Although the household registration management system in Sakura Country is not perfect at this time, it is only for remote and backward areas or mountainous areas far away from cities. Residents living in cities are basically registered in the household registration system.

Looking at the way the lady named Meizhiliu was dressed, she didn't look like someone from a remote area at all. Instead, she looked like a typical urban beauty.

The fact that such a person cannot be found in the household registration system is very telling.

Of course, even so, we cannot be 100% sure that there is something wrong with her. Maybe it is just a coincidence that makes her live in a big city but not included in the household registration management system.

But even so, the suspicion on Meizhiliu undoubtedly increased greatly in everyone's minds.

"Thank you for your hard work. Next, please help arrange an interrogation room. We will be there shortly."

Gu Chen nodded, and then gave further instructions.

Shi Xinyu was also willing to work hard and immediately took the order and left quickly to carry out Gu Chen's instructions.

Gu Chen led everyone to slow down their pace and walked leisurely towards the interrogation room.

Seeing this, although everyone was a little confused, they still followed Gu Chen closely, and each of them thought about the purpose of Gu Chen's action.

After all, in everyone's opinion, Gu Chen would never do anything without a purpose. Since he did this, he must have his own intentions.

While thinking, Gu Chen and others had already arrived at the interrogation room, and Shi Xinyu was already standing at the door of the interrogation room.

Seeing this, Ichiro Yamanaka immediately took a few quick steps to the door of the interrogation room, ready to help Gu Chen open the door.

"Wait a minute, Yamanaka, you've gone too far."

However, just as Ichiro Yamanaka's hand was about to touch the door handle of the interrogation room, Gu Chen's voice came from behind him.

Ichiro Yamanaka looked back and saw that Gu Chen had already grasped the door handle of the observation room next to the interrogation room. He turned it and pushed it open while speaking.

"Eh? Counselor, didn't you say you wanted to interrogate that woman?"

Yamanaka Ichiro was stunned when he saw this and asked in confusion.

"Yeah, but I didn't say I would ask in the interrogation room."

Gu Chen nodded and said as a matter of course.

Then he led everyone into the observation room.

Through the one-way glass inside, everyone saw Michiru sitting in the interrogation room looking a little uneasy.

She tightly grasped the small bag she carried with her in both hands, her eyes kept scanning the door of the interrogation room, and she swallowed frequently, looking a little restless.

Seeing this, Gu Chen thought to himself, "Calculating the time, it should be about time. I wonder how long you can endure."

He knew very well that although Michiru, as an Orion, could breathe the air of Earth, she could not survive for a long time without the air of Orion.

Therefore, every once in a while, Michiru must breathe the air of Orion, which is the red smoke that caused the students to fall into a coma before, in order to survive.

Otherwise, Michiru would end up suffocating to death.

As expected, Mei Zhiliu did not keep Gu Chen and others waiting for long, and gradually showed an uncomfortable expression in the interrogation room.

She first turned pale, then beads of sweat the size of beans began to ooze out of her body, and then her breathing became rapid, as if she was about to turn into a dehydrated fish.

"Counselor, what's wrong with her?"

Seeing this, Long Wulang couldn't help but look at Gu Chen with confusion and worry, and said.

At present, their TAC team has no clear evidence that Michiru is related to the red smoke and the pyramid that appeared in the school, so if something happens to Michiru at the TAC team headquarters, Gu Chen will be in big trouble.

"Captain Long, wait a little longer, maybe we will know the answer soon."

Gu Chen gave Long Wulang a reassuring smile, then gestured for him to continue observing Michiru's situation.

Seeing this, the team members widened their eyes and were ready to rush into the interrogation room to rescue people at any time.

But then, Michiru's action instantly changed the expressions of everyone on the TAC team.

Meizhiliu could no longer bear it and hurriedly opened her bag, revealing a red plastic bag that was stuffed full of things.

Those plastic bags were all bulging, and I had no idea what was inside.

But soon, everyone in the TAC team knew what was in those red plastic bags.

Because Michiliu couldn't wait to open one of the red plastic bags, the red smoke inside instantly gushed out from the opening of the bag.

As Michiru's face faced the gushing red smoke, her expression instantly relaxed, as if a drowning person had breathed in fresh air, giving her a feeling of being saved.

"Ms. Meizhiliu, it seems that what I said is correct. You are indeed related to the red smoke, and it seems that you can't survive without the red smoke."

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen immediately stepped forward, grabbed the microphone in the observation room, and spoke.

Gu Chen's voice appeared in the interrogation room through the radio, which instantly scared Meizhiliu.

She immediately came to her senses and hurriedly crumpled the red plastic bag in her hand and stuffed it into her bag, looking like she was trying to cover up something that was only making it more obvious.

"It's too late, Miss Meizhiliu. We have already seen what you did just now. It is no longer necessary for us to hide anything. You might as well tell us your origins honestly."

Seeing this, Gu Chen continued.

However, when Michiru saw that her disguise was exposed, she still made a last-ditch effort and rushed to the door of the interrogation room, trying to rush out.

However, the door of the interrogation room had been locked long ago, and no matter how hard Michiru banged on the door, she couldn't escape from this small room.

"It's useless, Miss Meizhiliu. If this is all you have, then everything you are doing now is just a waste of effort."

Gu Chen's voice rang out again, directly shattering the last hope in Mei Zhiliu's heart.

Realizing that her mission had completely failed, Michiru suddenly collapsed to the ground with a look of despair, as if all her energy had been drained away.

"Well, Miss Meizhiliu, if you confess, you will be treated leniently, but if you resist, you will be treated severely. Before we use any means on you, please tell me your origins and your purpose."

Gu Chen's words, like the whisper of a devil, reached Mei Zhiliu's ears, instantly scaring her so much that her face turned pale.
