Chapter 211 Interrogation
Leonard had made thorough preparations for today's meeting. His clothes were made of a special material that could resist cuts and stabs from sharp weapons, providing some protection against small-caliber bullets. Most importantly, it did not hinder his movements.
Leonard was not harmed by the man's punch. Instead, Leonard landed a hard punch on his nose.
"Fuck you, you bastard. Go to hell." The man reached behind him, but Leonard reacted faster and made a gesture like Spider-Man. Then, two extremely fine wires shot from his wrist into the man's neck.
The man convulsed violently and then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"How is he?" Jennifer asked worriedly and was concerned that Leonard might have killed him.
"Don't worry, the electric shock just knocks him out," Leonard reassured her, retracted the wires from his wrist, and approached the unconscious man.
Jennifer checked the man's pulse to confirm he was just unconscious and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"What should we do next?" Jennifer asked.
"Of course, we take him away and tie him up for interrogation," Leonard replied. He first retrieved the handgun from the man's waistband and handed it to Jennifer. Then he hoisted the man onto his shoulder and headed towards the garage.
A bucket of cold water awakened the unconscious man. As he regained consciousness, he found himself in an abandoned warehouse. In front of him stood Jennifer and a masked man dressed in black.
"Who are you? Batman of Washington?" the man sneered at Leonard.
"Tell me, who did Henry hire you to kill?" Leonard's voice came from beneath the mask, but it was altered to sound like another man's voice. The mask, a product he had purchased from the tech exhibition, could change his voice and filter out airborne pollutants.
The man sneered at Leonard and said, "Do you think I'll tell you? Let me go, or Black Thorn won't let you off."
Leonard burst into laughter as his eerie laughter echoed from under the mask.
Leonard picked up a cage nearby with a rat in it. The rat jumped around inside the cage and desperately tried to find a way out.
"I've heard of a kind of torture where you put a rat on a man’s belly and cover it with a iron mantle. And then heat the mantle. So the rat, feeling the heat, will try to dig a hole to escape. Guess where it will start?" Leonard said and stepped closer to the man with the rat. The man turned pale instantly.
Jennifer, hearing Leonard's words, also turned pale and instinctively stepped back. 'My God, what a terrifying torture! A rat dig a hole in your belly must be horrifying.'
"What are you doing? You can't do this," the man shouted, struggling in fear. But his hands and feet were tied to the chair, which made him immobile.
Leonard laid the man on his back and then pulled up his shirt to expose his hairy belly.
"Wait, I'll tell you, I will. Just keep that damn rat away from me." the man screamed with tears welling up in his eyes. At that moment, he looked like a helpless girl facing a ruthless thug.
"I thought you'd hold out until the rat started digging. I guess I overestimated you," Leonard said and shook his head with a hint of regret in his voice.
"You're a fucking demon." the man spat out but Leonard placed his foot on the man's chest in the next moment.
"Now tell me everything." Leonard's tone turned icy as he placed the cage next to the man's ear.
Hearing the rat's squeaks near his ear, the man trembled in fear. "Of course. Mr. Henry hired us to kill a couple. We bribed a cancer-stricken driver to drink before driving, which brought the couple to death. I heard only a child survived and was adopted by Henry's friend. But we all knew Henry was just a middleman. The one who adopted the child was the mastermind behind everything."
After the man finished speaking, the warehouse fell into an eerie silence. Even though Jennifer had already a sense about the truth, hearing it confirmed left her shocked. Romy, hiding in the car, almost broke down after realizing her husband was indeed a murderer.
As for Leonard, he let out a low chuckle and drew a knife from his waist.
In the man's terrified gaze, the knife descended towards him.
