Chapter 136 Confession

Chapter 137 Confession

Ronin did not want to use torture to extract a confession, but he did not feel too guilty about using it on a criminal who had already been convicted of a crime.

This interrogation method is prone to false convictions, and the key is to restrain people from using it indiscriminately.

However, Shanlin Town is still small, which means that Ronin has the final say, and he can still control it for now.

Once the territory expands and the population increases, there will be some things that he cannot control. At that time, there will naturally be corresponding laws to ensure that law enforcers are relatively fair and just, and it is necessary not to torture and extract confessions.

However, that is all later.

At least for Ronin now, he needs to pry open the assassin's mouth and obtain valuable information.

Back to the warm living room, Chahar was waiting there.

"Master, your new bedroom is ready, and the books and items in the bedroom have been moved to the new room."

The old room was messed up by the fighting spirit, and it was obviously not convenient to live in.

"How bad is the damage to the house? If it seriously threatens the safety of this building, we will have to move out and build a new one."

The main building in the inner castle is not something that can be built casually. It is related to the face of the lord.

Imagine if a guest comes to the Shanlin Castle and lives in an environment like a slave, then Roning's reputation in the aristocratic circle can be imagined.

To be honest, the building Roning lives in now is just average and has nothing to do with luxury.

But even repairing such a building is a big project. Roning needs to prepare a lot of money, labor and resources.

Fortunately, Chahar took people to check it out. The main structure was not damaged and would not collapse, but William or other carpenters were needed to repair the damaged doors, windows, floors, etc.

This made Roning feel relieved, and he turned to ask, "Where is Black Tiger?"

Chahar smiled and said, "I don't know if it's tired or frightened. It's resting in Miss Irene's room now."

"Remember to give it a good meal tomorrow!"

Roning smiled and said, "I was able to escape the assassination today, thanks to the little guy's timely reminder."

Chahar was shocked. He didn't expect that Black Tiger had contributed to this. "Black Tiger doesn't spy on the cubs of Storm Wolf. It really has extraordinary abilities."

"Haha, when it grows up, it will have many abilities."

The female Storm Wolf has three abilities in its magic core: speed, tear, and concealment.

Storm wolves generally only master wind magic. Black Tiger should master the two abilities of speed and tear after adulthood;

As for whether it can master the ability to conceal, it depends on whether it has inherited the dark attribute of the mother wolf.

The next morning, Roning got up, washed, had breakfast, and then did morning exercises as usual.

But the kitchen and the guards had two more things to do than usual - boiling sweet water and finding ant nests.

Luo Ning originally thought that it would take some time to find ant nests, but the guards were obviously faster than he expected. They found three within an hour, prepared baskets, and dug them out with shovels.

When the guards lit a fire in the dark room, raised the temperature, stripped the assassin's clothes to only his underwear, and poured warm sweet water on the assassin, fear had already surged out of Youying's heart and could no longer be suppressed.

His teeth, his knees, and his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

And when the guards brought a large basket of ant nests to him and opened the lid, Youying saw the densely packed, crawling ants inside, and his scalp suddenly exploded.

"Confess, confess, confess, I confess!"

"Woo woo, please, take these things away, take them all away..."

In fact, the scene he thought about all night last night had already made him almost collapse. The fact that he could hold on until now was enough to confirm the psychological quality of this assassin.

Soon, McKen and others invited Roning over.

Seeing the assassin crying, Roning couldn't help but smile, "In fact, we in Shanlin Town are quite kind to prisoners. If you had said it earlier, we wouldn't have to do this."

As he said, he sat down on a chair beside him, "Tell me, who instructed you to assassinate me?"

"It was... the president who asked me to kill you."

President?

Roning frowned, "The president of the Skull and Bones Society? Who is he?"

"I don't know."

The Shadow said weakly, "The president has been wearing a golden mask. I don't know his true identity. When we contacted each other, he only used 'Skull' as a code name."

The leader of the Skull and Bones Society wore a mask. It is estimated that his true identity is not convenient to show to others. Maybe it involves some forces?

"Why did he come to kill me?" Roning continued to ask.

In response, the Shadow shook his head.

"I don't know. There is often no excessive description of assassination missions. But..."

He hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about whether to continue to reveal it. After all, this violated his professional ethics.

Bang, bang...

McKen knocked on the basket of ants beside him with his long sword. The Shadow trembled and his professional ethics were completely abandoned by him.

"But the president told me that after the matter is done, I can go directly to the swamp of Sen Territory to find Baron Leisen and get back the bounty of one thousand gold coins."

Hearing this, Roning seemed to have a stone in his heart.

Yesterday he guessed that it might be an assassin hired by Lord Sean, but he hesitated when he saw the logo of the Skull and Bones Society. After all, there were indeed many people who wanted him dead.

But the fact is as he suspected, there is still Leisen's shadow behind this matter.

If he wasn't assigned by the other party, why would he go to Leisen to ask for the bounty?

Luo Ning smiled and said to McCann: "It seems that Baron Leisen is really angry with me and would rather spend a thousand gold coins to buy my life."

McCann replied: "In his eyes, the dispute between him and you has become irreconcilable. As long as he can kill you, the four savage tribes and even the mountain town may fall into his hands."

"good!"

Luo Ning nodded secretly. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Pedro, do you know?"

Shadow was a little surprised and nodded, "I know, he was an investigation member of the Skull and Bones Society. He was killed by you."

"Then do you know who wants to kill the Green family siblings Marina and Malik?"

Shadow hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's Baron Leisen. He has a very bad relationship with Baron Herman, so he wants to use us to get rid of Herman's son and daughter, so that he can experience the loss of his son again." Women’s Pain.”

"You know very well?"

"Because Pedro is the one I'm responsible for inspecting..."

Luo Ning asked casually, but he didn't expect such an unexpected gain.

It turned out that there was hatred between the Green Territory and the Thane Territory that he didn't understand. It seemed that in the future, an intelligence agent would be arranged to collect various intelligence news among the nobles.

"Okay, I'm very pleased with your honesty, Mr. Shadow."

Luo Ning gestured to remove the basket containing the ants, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I won't let you go either."

He stood up and ordered: "McCann, prepare a pen and paper, write down all the contents that Mr. Shadow just confessed, and then ask him to sign his name and put his fingerprints."

"Also, Wharton, you should go to Ashland Village now and ask Redal and Tom to come over."
