Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked in, shouting, "Wang Dali, what are you doing?"

The burly man, Wang Dali, widened his eyes and said, "Boss, this kid is not obedient, I'm going to deal with him!"

"Nonsense!" The middle-aged man said firmly, "We are civil servants of the country, representatives of justice. How can we use extralegal means?"

Wang Dali sneered, "Boss, there's no one else here, why pretend?"

The middle-aged man's eyebrows furrowed, grabbed Wang Dali's collar in anger, dragged him out of the interrogation room, and slammed the door shut behind him.

Curious, Eric used an advanced spell, "Mirror Reflection," to sync the scene outside the door back into the room.

"What are you doing, boss?" Wang Dali looked puzzled.

"The kid inside has some background. Someone just gave me a heads-up..."

Before the middle-aged man finished, Wang Dali interrupted, "Ha, I've seen many people with backgrounds. Isn't he just a deputy mayor? Although his status is higher on this side of Shanghai, he's not under our jurisdiction. Do we really care about them?"

"Do you know anything?" The middle-aged man gave Wang Dali a slap on the head and said, "Besides Deputy Mayor Tang, Director Jiang just called me to take care of this kid..."

"Director Jiang?" Wang Dali was confused. "Which Director Jiang?"

"Which other Director Jiang?" The middle-aged man said impatiently. "Of course, it's Director Jiang Feng of the Ninth Bureau!"

Eric was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized. Director Jiang Feng was someone he had met on the day he met Tan Ailing. Not only was he a childhood friend of Tan Dad, but he was also a suitor of Tan Mom. It seemed that Tan Ailing had asked him for help!

"That kid has quite a bit of influence. Jiang Feng actually personally intervened to plead for him..."

"Well, just remember not to use violence," the middle-aged man seemed to feel something was off and added, "Forget it, let me change the interrogator..."

"Don't!" Wang Dali's face fell, pleading, "Boss, I've been bored for so long, just let me handle it. I promise I won't lay a hand on him!"

Apparently, his credibility was not bad. After glancing at him, the middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

As the middle-aged man turned around, Wang Dali suddenly asked, "By the way, boss, has the autopsy report come out?"

"Although it hasn't been fully completed yet, I have a general idea from Dr. Zhang..."

Wang Dali's expression changed, and he calmly said, "Boss, can you tell me about it?"

"The fatal injuries to the body are two-fold, one is a hole in the chest, and the other is a broken neck. It is estimated that the time of death was 1 to 3 hours ago..."

Wang Dali was stunned, "Isn't that wrong? Xiaoping said that the person was killed in public just an hour ago. How can they come up with such an exaggerated 'three hours'?"

"Who knows..." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "Alright, you go in and continue the interrogation. Although many people have interceded for that kid, we cannot let him off lightly! To think that we, the Shanghai branch, would lose such a big fish in front of the Russians. I even guaranteed beforehand that nothing would happen! It's really embarrassing..."

As the middle-aged man rambled on, Wang Dali pushed open the door and entered.

In the split second the door opened, Eric released the Mirror Reflection spell.

Looking at Eric, who was calm, Wang Dali said with some displeasure, "Kid, you're quite relaxed..."

Eric didn't mind his somewhat hostile tone and said lightly, "Another cup of tea and a plate of snacks would make it even better!"

Wang Dali laughed, "Kid, do you think this place is a teahouse?"

"I'm just here to assist in your investigation. In other words, I'm here to help you. You guys are really stingy towards those who help you! Do I have to wait until I get home to drink water?"

"Kid, if you confess honestly, you might be able to go home and drink water. Otherwise, you might prepare to drink water here for the rest of your life!"

"You're trying to scare me!" Eric said confidently, "You guys have no evidence. At most, you can detain me for 48 hours!"

Wang Dali snorted, "It's not certain..."

"Yes!" Eric nodded in agreement, then smiled at Wang Dali's surprised look. "You do have the means to keep me detained, but the premise is that I'm just an ordinary person without any background..."

Somehow, the moment Eric's calm smile came into view, Wang Dali couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. But the interrogation table had already been shattered, so he could only huff heavily and plop back down.

"Speak up, what did you say to the waiter before his death?"

Eric wasn't truly here to assist with the investigation! His willingness to come back with the agent was merely to gain more life experience!

Ever since that guy Zhou Dian told him some nonsense about "reducing karmic sins" and "attaining the Dao", he had become curious.

Maybe it was because he hadn't quite reached that level of understanding, and asking Tan Ailing didn't yield any answers, so he could only search for the answers online himself.

After reading through all of Huang Yi's novels, though he still didn't fully grasp the concept of "the Dao", he at least knew one thing - cultivating the Dao is about cultivating the mind.

In Huang Yi's novels, those who were able to "attain the Dao" all had incredibly rich life experiences!

Like Pang Ban, who in order to increase his life experiences, even went so far as to seal his martial arts and travel the world on foot, the hardships of which are unimaginable!

While Eric has lived for over 400 years, most of that time was spent conducting magical experiments, so his life experiences are probably still not as extensive as a high school student's.

To increase his life experiences in a short time, the only option was to experience more things.

But Eric didn't have the resolve to do it like Pang Ban, so he could only enrich his life experiences through some incidental events!

So he didn't use any means, including "magical brainwashing", to resolve this matter, he just let things take their natural course!

Upon hearing Wang Dali's question, he casually replied, "Nothing much, I just asked him to get me some alcohol."

"Hmph, get you alcohol? Then why did you kick him?"

"Didn't you ask the eyewitnesses at the scene?" Eric feigned surprise. "It was the waiter who fell first and charged at Mr. Delbosky, so I was afraid he would do something detrimental to our Russian friend, so I kicked him away. You should be thanking me..."

Wang Dali glared at Eric angrily and said loudly, "Even if you had good intentions, you can't just go around kicking people to death!"

"What evidence do you have that I kicked him to death?"

"Of course we have evidence!" Wang Dali seemed to feel the tide turning, and said smugly, "That waiter died of a chest explosion right after you kicked him..."

Eric couldn't help but burst out laughing, feeling that this game was becoming more and more interesting!
