312 Betrayal (2)
“Right, Nico had a good friend in the orphanage called Wang Fu. He was brought out by Nico from the orphanage and is studying in a school under the academy.
“Nico and Wang Fu have known each other for several years and have a very good relationship.”
After hearing the conversation next door, Ning Shi immediately determined that Nico had left the dormitory on his own accord.
Due to his talent for bad luck and identity as a muse, Nico had very few friends. His interpersonal relationships were very simple.
The only people that Nico cared about were probably one or two teachers from the academy, Ning Shi, and Wang Fu.
Nico’s disappearance was clearly not the doing of the academy’s teachers, nor was it done by Ning Shi himself. The only possibility was Wang Fu.
It was very likely that the noble forces had captured Wang Fu and used his life to coerce Nico into going to Cloudy Mountain. Moreover, he did not dare to alarm the teachers of the academy.
Ning Shi took this opportunity to point out Wang Fu, wanting Wei Yanping to pay attention to this key figure.
After hearing Wang Fu’s name, Wei Yanping looked at Ning Shi in surprise, and a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes. Then, he said, “The first person we investigated was Wang Fu. When we knocked on his door, he was sleeping.
“The confusion and fear on his face is definitely not something a ten-year-old child could fake.
“We asked him to log into his smart wristwatch and checked his chat and communication records. His chat with Nico for the past two days was normal.
“To be safe, we brought Wang Fu back to the academy.
“But to be honest, Wang Fu is not a suspect. Compared to you, he is just a child.
“In my opinion, you’re very suspicious. I hope you’ll fully cooperate with my actions from now on. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing any respect from a teacher to a student.”
Ning Shi immediately understood the trap in Wei Yanping’s words. He asked, “What suspicion? Did something happen?”
If Ning Shi had directly defended himself and said that he was not a suspect, he would have fallen into Wei Yanping’s trap.
From Ning Shi’s perspective, he should not have known about Nico’s disappearance. By agreeing to Wei Yanping’s words, he was tacitly admitting that he knew about Nico’s disappearance.
Although Ning Shi had eavesdropped on their conversation and knew that Nico had gone missing, he still had to show that he did not know.
Wei Yanping thought for a moment and said, “Nico is missing!”
After saying that, he pretended not to care, but his eyes were actually staring at Ning Shi’s reaction.
Unfortunately, Ning Shi remained expressionless and did not seem to have any reaction to Nico’s disappearance.
Wei Yanping frowned and his tone became stern. “You are Nico’s good friend and have the ability to ask Nico out.
“After you were wanted by the Hilda family in Sword Shield City, you disappeared for more than twenty days and then suddenly appeared. Where did you go during these twenty days? Were you bribed after being caught by the Hilda family?
“Then, under the instructions of the Hilda family, did you invite Nico to the Cloudy Mountain and capture him?
“Moreover, you’re a butcher. As traditional fighters, your strong bodies are most suitable for kidnapping people!
“Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re close to Teacher Ye Hongmian. This isn’t a small matter, and even Teacher Ye Hongmian can’t protect you!”
Seeing Wei Yanping’s intimidating look, Ning Shi was a little speechless. Did these teachers in the academy think that their students were obedient after being teachers for so long?
Wasn’t this kind of verbal intimidation treating Ning Shi like a child?
Ning Shi was a little impatient. From the moment Wei Yanping entered the door, Ning Shi already knew his background.
“Principal Wei, we’re all adults. Don’t try to bluff me.” Ning Shi went straight to the point.
“It’s impossible for you not to know the background of my teacher, Li Yidao. Whether or not I’ve been bribed by the Hilda family, as long as it’s a normal person, they can see it.
“Do you think I don’t know that the school will do background checks on students like us?
“I don’t have a motive.
“When I entered and exited Norse City, the entrance and exit system of Gate 9 was registered. You can see these itinerary records, but I don’t have the time of the crime.
“I’ve only been a butcher for a month. How strong can I be? I’m not satisfied with your criminal investigation ability.
“What are you trying to do by threatening me again and again when you know that I’m not a suspect?
“Are you trying to confuse the public and deliberately give the real suspect time to escape?”
Wei Yanping’s expression changed when he heard Ning Shi’s question. His aura softened and he smiled awkwardly. He found an excuse and said, “I only did this to scare you and look at the communication and chat records in your smart wristwatch.”
Wei Yanping’s reason was barely reasonable. In the Norse Republic, technology was highly developed, and everyone protected their privacy more strictly.
In particular, the communication and chat records were stored in the AI network and kept by the AI network’s server. No one had the right to access these records.
If there was really a need to investigate, the Archon had to initiate a resolution of the Republic Parliament and obtain more than two-thirds of the consent votes before they could obtain the right to investigate.
They would need to check these records.
In the more than 170 years since the founding of the Norse Republic, there had been a total of 351 meetings to inquire about communications and chat records, and only four of them had been passed.
In the Norse Republic, no matter which official organization it was, it was very difficult to check a person’s private records.
