Chapter 402 Post-War Interrogation and Discussion
It was still the same red brick two-story house, but after the baptism of war, it was stained with a touch of dilapidated and scarlet. Everywhere were soldiers of the Yang family cleaning up the battlefield. Yang Tianze, Xiao Lao, Wu Chi and other core figures came to the secret room on the second floor of the house.
"Let's bring the leader up first." Yang Tian said calmly.
Liang Yu didn't say much, but went out and brought the person in.
Soon, an interrogation began...
"Name."
"Ftolyak."
"age."
"43."
"Position."
"Captain of the Ministry of Magic's Operations Team"
……
The windbreaker leader was really cooperative and never seemed to think about hiding anything.
"Tell me the purpose of your attack on us this time." Liang Yu continued to ask.
"What I told you on the battlefield before was true. Our department did receive a report that you were engaged in espionage activities here, so I..." Ftolyak explained quickly without hesitation. His eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
However, Liang Yu sneered and interrupted his performance directly: "Don't try that. Your actions just now don't look like impartial law enforcement. You clearly want to wipe us out. We are not fools. We can still distinguish between enemies and friends. If you don't answer the questions honestly, we will not be so polite in the next inquiries."
Hearing Liangyu's threat, Ftolyak turned pale with fear. He quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't... I'll tell you. This operation was indeed ordered by our superiors, but someone also paid us to do it. The person who paid is from a very famous local pure-blood family - the Ulrich family. Their family is very powerful. Not only does they have an important position in the Ministry of Magic, they can even influence the Muggle government."
"Oh, tell me about the specific person who gave the money." Liang Yu seemed interested.
"The person who gave the money is called Agata Ulrich, but he is just a small figure in the Ulrich family. He is in charge of a small gang near this town, so the money was sent by him." Ftolyak still knew everything.
"Then who contacted the Ministry of Magic and asked them to order the attack on us?" Liang Yu continued to ask.
"I really don't know about this. I'm just the captain of a small action team. In Russia, there are more than a dozen action teams like ours. I don't have access to such high-level information at all." Ftolyak said with a little frustration.
"What about the Muggle government? Who sent these Muggles in military uniforms?" Liang Yu still didn't give up.
"I don't know even more about this. The Muggle government has no connection with us. Only the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic have close relations with them." Ftolyak continued to explain: "I really didn't lie to you. I am responsible for what I said. I can confront anyone face to face." The captain of the action team seemed to have collapsed after not being able to answer two consecutive questions. He tried desperately to explain, as if he wanted to use this method to prove that what he said was true.
"Do you know why they attacked us?" Liang Yu continued to ask.
"I still don't understand this question. Russia is already in turmoil, and you are outsiders." Ftolyak was about to cry. "People like you who don't have big shots to protect you will die by the dozens one day. No one cares why you do this. They just want to put the money in their pockets."
"Then tell me about the members and power of the Ulrich family." Caiyu suddenly interrupted.
"How should I put it? The Ulrich family's influence covers all aspects, and its descendants are extremely numerous. Gangs, Muggle governments, the Ministry of Magic, various business alliances... In short, there are too many..." Ftolyak began his endless narration again.
"Let's talk about the mafia first. They control most of the underground world in the Russian Far East, including smuggling, drug trafficking, gambling and other illegal activities. They compete with other mafia organizations, but there are also times when they cooperate."
"In the Muggle government, the Ulrich family has a wide range of influence. As far as I know, there are three Squibs who hold important positions in the Muggle government. As for the government officials they support, they are countless."
"As for the Ministry of Magic, the Ulrich family also has a deep background. The Directors of the Department of Magical Transportation and the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes are both from the Ulrich family..."
......
The narration was very detailed, but it made everyone in the Yang family silent. It seems that every country has its own national conditions. At least in the environment they knew, they had never seen such a huge monster before, and it even covered every aspect of Russia. But why would such a huge family suddenly take such a cruel action against them? Everyone was puzzled.
Of course, no one would easily believe these confessions. After rounds of torture in different ways and the continuous interrogation of more prisoners, everyone finally confirmed the authenticity of the news.
Unfortunately, these people’s status is too low, and perhaps the only truly valuable news is “the emergence of the Ulrich family.”
With no other options, everyone could only sit down again and discuss the next course of action...
"Now all the suspicions point to the Ulrich family. What do you think?" Old Xiao asked, rubbing his aching head.
"There is no doubt that the Ulrich family is indeed involved. But are they the masterminds behind the scenes, or are they the white gloves of the information transfer station?" Caiyu asked uncertainly.
"We have discussed these issues for a long time. All we can say is that there is too little information and we cannot make any judgment at all," Liang Yu replied.
"In fact, in my opinion, this is not important." Mad Dog suddenly interrupted, "Because the people who came to attack us today are not the same group as the people who spied on us and raided us before."
"Mad Dog, do you mean that you can find the location of the previous group of people?" Upon hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in Mr. Xiao's eyes.
"Of course, we are the ones doing the tracking. How could we let them retreat so easily?" The drunk boss interrupted with confidence.
As he spoke, he gently patted the storage bag on his waist and took out his white jade slab. With a tap of his fingers, a stream of magic power flowed directly into the white jade slab from his fingertips.
As the magic power was injected, a faint light gradually emerged on the white jade slab. The light became stronger and stronger, condensing into a map, clearly displayed in front of everyone...
