Thinking of this, Sun Jianyun shook his head and said to Zhang Wei directly:
"Are you sure they are really confessing?"
Even though he knew Zhang Wei had made the water ghost king Wu Cheng confess in less than ten minutes, Sun Jianyun still didn't believe Zhang Wei could achieve what he had now. The reason was simple: the prisoners confessing now were from the fourth underground level, incomparable to the former, they were legendary criminals.
Of course.
Based on the case of the water ghost king Wu Cheng, Sun Jianyun believed that Zhang Wei could make one prisoner from the fourth underground level confess within half a day, or even two to three.
But the current situation... it wasn't two or three, but all of them confessed. More than thirty people, not only did they confess, they even seemed to have acknowledged family ties!
Regarding this.
Seeing the look in Sun Jianyun's eyes, how could Zhang Wei not understand his intention? He smiled and said:
"Really. If you don't believe me, you can go ask them now."
As soon as he said that.
Sun Jianyun did not hesitate. He turned and walked towards the cell next to Zhang Wei, which was the last cell of the fourth underground level prisoner Zhang Wei had seen.
Then.
Not long after, Sun Jianyun walked out of the cell.
"Old Sun, how did it go?"
The deputy warden immediately stepped forward to ask. Judging by his words, he noticed Sun Jianyun's shocked expression and his heart sank, already guessing the outcome.
As expected.
Sun Jianyun slowly looked over, his aged voice filled with undisguised shock:
"As soon as I entered, before I could even speak, the lecherous ghost king confessed to me first. He even told me about the body of a female ghost exorcist he had raped, which we hadn't found."
As he spoke.
Sun Jianyun recalled what happened inside, and his mind felt dizzy. The other party, although still maintaining a poker face, said honestly:
"For Zhang Wei's sake, I confess. Sun Jianyun, bring the confession letter. Also, I have something to tell you, which is that I once..."
Recalling all this.
The next second.
Sun Jianyun, like a sharp arrow, quickly rushed into another cell.
In the time that followed, a strange scene unfolded.
Sun Jianyun was like a mad old man, rushing into the cells of the fourth underground level one by one. Each time he entered for only a few minutes, he would rush out again and head to the next cell.
And with each entry and exit from a cell, the expression on his aged face gradually changed from astonishment to surprise, then to shock, then to horror, and finally to a state where his expression was beyond control, like the Old Urchin Zhou Botong, as if he had gone mad.
Soon.
Half an hour passed, and Sun Jianyun came out of the last cell. He stared intently at Zhang Wei and suddenly exclaimed:
"My heavens, they've all confessed!"
His voice echoed throughout the entire fourth underground level without any restraint.
For a moment.
The guards guarding the fourth underground level were startled and gathered together, thinking something had happened to Warden Sun. They had never seen the warden so distraught.
Then.
As the reason was inquired about... the fourth underground level erupted... and like a stone thrown into a lake, it caused huge ripples. The news that Zhang Wei had made all the legendary criminals in the fourth underground level confess.
The news spread rapidly throughout the Wei Dao Si prison like a plague.
Regarding this.
Zhang Wei was unaware of all this. He simply asked Sun Jianyun:
"Warden Sun, I've finished visiting the fourth underground level. I suddenly want to go back and visit the third, second, and first underground levels."
...
The next day.
In the rural area where the Wei Dao Si prison was located.
"Thank you for the hospitality, Warden Sun. This visit has been very rewarding."
Zhang Wei said, his gaze falling on a section of the system panel:
[System Points]: 228600
He remembered.
When he entered the Wei Dao Si prison yesterday, his system points were only a little over 180,000, but now they had increased by more than 40,000, reaching over 220,000. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had become rich overnight.
At the same time.
Not only was Zhang Wei beaming, but Sun Jianyun's old face was also like a blooming flower, smiling so widely that his mouth couldn't close:
"Zhang Wei, you jest. We should be the ones thanking you. We are truly grateful for your visit to our prison."
After a day.
Although he didn't know how Zhang Wei managed it, he was truly a born judge. No! He was Bao Gong reincarnated. In one day, he had made all the prisoners in the Wei Dao Si prison, including those in the fourth underground level, confess.
Zhang Wei smiled upon hearing this:
"Warden Sun, you jest. I just chatted casually with the prisoners. Perhaps I have a connection with those prisoners."
Afterward.
After a few more pleasantries.
Zhang Wei did not linger and left by armed helicopter.
On the other side.
Only after the armed helicopter disappeared into the distant sky did Sun Jianyun withdraw his gaze and then said leisurely to the deputy warden beside him:
"Go inform all the interrogators in the prison that they are starting a long holiday. If the Wei Dao Si asks, tell them there are no more prisoners to interrogate. If they ask further, say it was Zhang Wei's doing and tell them what happened."
In his words.
Sun Jianyun watched the direction Zhang Wei had left and said with emotion:
"I wish Zhang Wei would visit us more often."
And not long after his words, along with various prison messages being transmitted.
On this day.
The Wei Dao Si prison was shaken, and a 'urban legend' spread throughout the prison, passed down from generation to generation.
Legend has it...
There was a man, known by many nicknames such as 'The Legendary Judge', 'Relative of Criminals', 'Benefactor of Wei Dao Si Prison', 'Designated Heir of Bao Gong', and so on.
It is said that this man was so powerful that no criminal could withstand his interrogation without confessing.
With his own strength, he broke the interrogation records of the Wei Dao Si prison and could not be surpassed.
With his own strength, he increased the Wei Dao Si prison's annual kdA and could not be surpassed.
With his own strength...
And this man was reportedly surnamed Zhang, Zhang meaning to uphold justice, and his name was—Zhang Wei.
...
On the other side.
On the armed helicopter.
Zhang Wei was unaware that he had become a legend. His gaze was fixed on the [System Points] column on the system panel.
"With over 220,000 system points now, combined with my own synchronization bonus, it means I now have the strength of about 440,000 system points, placing me at the top-tier ghost king level."
Now, Zhang Wei had encountered no less than ten or twenty ghost kings. Based on the ghost kings he had met and comparisons with Tailor, Old Man Willow, and others, Zhang Wei had a certain understanding of ghost kings.
In his opinion.
A strength of 100,000 system points was that of a newly promoted ghost king.
A strength of 200,000-300,000 system points was that of a mid-tier ghost king.
And once he exceeded 400,000 system points, he would enter the ranks of top-tier ghost kings like Fatty and Tailor.
Thinking of this.
Zhang Wei smiled:
"Now, even if I encounter a high-level official from the Senluo Division, I will have the strength to fight."
