Zhang Yutao found himself in a difficult position, unable to proceed with the interrogation as Xu Lie remained unyielding. If he were dealing with a truly vicious criminal, Zhang would have shown no mercy; the Special Investigation Team had plenty of methods at their disposal. He was determined to leave no visible marks on the body to avoid media scrutiny and negative public opinion.
However, facing Xu Lie, a mere high school sophomore with an innocent face, Zhang hesitated. On one hand, Xu Lie was implicated in three bombings without causing any injuries; even during his escape from the hospital, he hadn't fired a shot and had even compensated the only nurse involved with a substantial sum for her mental distress. On the other hand, his actions—blowing up buildings and cold storage facilities—could easily label him a terrorist, making interrogation seem justified.
It was a dilemma, indeed.
Xu Lie noticed Zhang's momentary silence and felt a sense of relief; he had won this round. He was certainly concerned about the possibility of harsh interrogation. If the Special Investigation Team decided to take a tough approach, he had no backup plan. For now, he could only play his part and divert attention away from himself, hoping to come clean quickly.
If he managed to do that, his troubles would end there. It wouldn't be a total failure; at worst, when the cameras returned, he could think of ways to redeem himself—perhaps by expressing remorse or claiming to have turned over a new leaf. In that case, his personal evaluation might suffer slightly, resulting in a lower payment.
After all, Xu Lie was just an actor working for the company; he was there to earn his pay. He wasn't about to risk his life over this. He could accept taking a beating for some payment; however, enduring professional interrogation from the Special Investigation Team was something he absolutely could not accept.
In any case, this was just a script world; after this scene, there would be countless more opportunities ahead.
The Male Second Lead commented on how tough Xu Lie was. "If I were that team leader, I wouldn't hesitate to resort to torture; ordinary people can't withstand those professional techniques."
"Not necessarily," another voice chimed in. "Ever since I saw that childhood flashback of Xu Lie's at the beginning, I've felt like his spirit is already resigned to death. If he's not afraid of dying, why would he fear interrogation?"
"To be fair, Xu Lie really is tough."
Despite the chatter around him, Zhang Yutao ultimately decided against torture; it carried significant risks. If Xu Lie broke under pressure and confessed something damaging or held firm without revealing anything during trial in front of the public, it could lead to severe repercussions for him.
Considering that Xu Lie hadn't harmed anyone in his actions, it seemed more reasonable to treat him leniently. With that thought in mind, Zhang shifted the topic: "Alright then, let's talk about the sources of your firearms and explosives."
"Coming from abroad?"
This is indeed a significant question. In the Script World, gun control is very strict, which is also related to the Population Crisis. If Xu Lie's answer to this question is vague, Zhang Yutao will undoubtedly resort to interrogation to get a clear response.
How could that be? Xu Lie had already thought about how to respond: Why complicate something so simple?
Zhang Yutao blinked, his blood pressure possibly rising, feeling a bit dizzy from the frustration. He blinked again and stammered, "What... what did you say? Simple? Firearms and explosives are simple?"
