Chapter 361: special prison

Chapter 361 Special Prison
=
Wu Fei heard the sound of the guests walking into the courtyard in twos and threes after the banquet. With the sound of carriages, people's conversations, and the sound of waiters leading the way, the originally quiet courtyard became lively.
The carriage next to them began to move, and the carriage they were riding in also drove away from the Duke's mansion along with the other carriages.
Wu Fei's hands were still bound by handcuffs. He didn't know where the carriage was going, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Wu Fei: "Sir, where are we going?"
However, the grim man sitting next to him was sitting on the carriage with his eyes closed, not ready to respond to his words.
Wu Fei's heart became more and more uneasy. He was not sure whether his behavior just now angered the man. His act just now in a hurry was too risky.
After all, the identities between the two are now too different. Deputy Director Shen has many ways to deal with him, and even the people around him who are related to him, such as Cardinals and Aunt Lisa.
It didn't need to be too difficult, he just had to identify them as witches—even if they weren't, it would work.
After traveling for a certain distance, the carriage came to an empty street and slowed down at the same time.
This is a neighborhood that Wu Fei has never been to before. There are many elegant and high-end residences on both sides of the street.
The carriage eventually stopped at the back door of a house.
Deputy Director Shen walked into the house through the back door, Wu Fei hesitated, and followed him into the house. He realized that this might be Shen Xing's home, but he was still wearing handcuffs and had no way to escape.
"Deputy Director Shen, can you let me go?"
In the living room, Wu Fei stopped the man nervously, raised his hands to show him the handcuffs on his hands.
"It seems inconvenient for me to come to your house so rashly."
The man looked back at him and narrowed his gray-blue eyes slightly: "Deputy Director Shen?"
"Actually, I specifically asked, they said your name is SHEN..."
"My name is Shen Xing." The man took off his coat, put it on his arm, and walked upstairs. After stepping up a few steps, he looked back at Wu Fei lightly.
"Do you want me to take you home at this time?"
Wu Fei stood in the same place a little stunned, and it was difficult for him to figure out what the other party was thinking. But the man ignored him and turned around and walked upstairs.
The house doesn't look small, but there doesn't seem to be a third person in it at this time.
Wu Fei hesitated between staying in the living room and catching up, and finally chose to stay in the living room honestly.
He sat down on the sofa, his posture a little uncomfortable because his hands were tied. But it may be that he had consumed too much energy and physical strength just now, and he fell asleep faster than he thought.
…
Wu Fei woke up on the same sofa the next day, and found that he had slept in an awkward position all night, which caused him to feel a little sore all over.
But the good news is that the handcuffs on his hands are gone.
He stood up and went to the back door of the house, and found that the door could be easily opened from the inside, and the rooms upstairs and downstairs were silent, as if there was only one person left in the house at this time.
It appears that the owner of the house has no plans to imprison him.
Wu Fei let out a sigh of relief, he was not sure if the things he had done were turned over by Shen Xing, but he definitely did not intend to stay in this house any longer.
Wu Fei opened the door, and by asking for directions all the way, he crossed most of the city alone and returned to No. 261 Cuilan Street.
Cardinal opened the door and patted his chest after seeing him, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Where did you go yesterday? No matter how much we look, we can't find you."
"It's a long story." Wu Fei nodded to her, "Let's go in and talk about it."
After entering the door, Wu Fei told the Cardinals what happened last night, of course, withholding some inconvenient details.
He didn't say that he was brought home by Shen Xing, but only said that he got out of Deputy Director Shen's carriage last night and found a 24-hour restaurant for a rest.
After the Cardinals heard that the crystal had been destroyed, they were relieved. They had rescued Mrs. Yucca. At least now they had no evidence or handle left outside.
"...When will these days come to an end?" Hong Que murmured with a wry smile. She raised her head to see Wu Fei, and seemed to remember that he was still here, "You go back and have a good rest first, we will meet at the Special Division. Pay attention to you, if it really doesn't work, Aunt Lisa and I will change your identities and let you run out of Julienne."
"Okay." Wu Fei replied.
In the next month or so, Wu Fei's life returned to "normal". He went to work at the art school every day, secretly helping Cardinals and others rescue witches.
No one from the Special Division wanted to take him to review. According to Cardinals, the last big case had come to an end, so Deputy Director Shen left Juyena on a business trip again.
Wu Feiyou quietly slipped back to Shen Xing's house, but even at night the lights were not lit in the house, so it seemed that the owner was indeed not there.
He was a little annoyed, even if there was no way to protect Shen Xing right now, he should have seized the opportunity that day to remind Shen Xing to be careful with the curse.
The time soon came to the end of the month, and the Cardinals told Wu Fei to prepare their luggage and they were going out.
"Where?" Wu Fei asked.
"Rackham District." Cardinal said, "There will be a publicity campaign against witch stigmatization and restoration of witches' status and reputation on weekends. We have to go and take a look."
"Holding this kind of event now?" Wu Fei didn't understand, "Aren't the people involved worried about being arrested as a witch remnant?"
"I'm worried," Cardinal said. "That's why people choose to hold this kind of event away from the central area. And the people who hold the event are actually not witches, but ordinary people who support witches out of morality."
Wu Fei: "But it won't do any good, it's just increasing your own security risk."
"That's right." Cardinal nodded in agreement, "You're right. But at least you see, there are still ordinary people supporting us now. So we still have to do something. And we have to make sure, this time. The event is not someone with ulterior motives using a witch's stunt to go fishing or other things."
Wu Fei still felt uneasy. If those people really supported the witches, they would not be able to protect ordinary people like they are now, and they might even put themselves in. If the other party is really fishing, then aren't they just hooked?
But he still agreed.
…
The event was as cold as Wu Fei expected. Most ordinary people can't wait to hide away, for fear of being involved with the witch at this time.
The organizer of the event was indeed an ordinary girl, and Wu Fei and Cardinals came to help by pretending to be ordinary volunteers.
When handing out the brochure, Wu Fei asked the organizers around him: "Why support the witches, you don't seem to have anything to do with them?"
"Because I thought they were innocent, and what they suffered was completely innocent. And when I was a teenager, a witch saved my life."
"I passed out on the side of the road because of an acute illness. A witch passed by and used magic to take me to the hospital in time, and paid me for the diagnosis and treatment. She left after doing this, and I never saw him again. She, but when the news of the witch hunt came out, I was always worried that she would also be caught in those horrible prisons."
"That's why I contacted a lot of like-minded friends and organized these events."
"Aren't you afraid of being caught as a witch?" Wu Fei asked.
Before the organizers could answer, they saw the Cardinals running towards them quickly—
Cardinal: "Quick! Run! Go and hide! The special department is here!"
Wu Fei and Cardinal did not dare to use any spells, so they could only run away like other ordinary volunteers. But they didn't run far, and an invisible barrier blocked their way.
And several well-equipped special division staff appeared on the other side of the road.
…
After the Cardinals and Wu Fei were captured, they were taken into a car - this kind of car has a strong structure and is specially used to people with special abilities.
This is a bad sign.
Cardinal: "Why arrest us? Where are you taking us now?"
"We received a tip that many of you are witches." The special division officer in charge of escorting them replied, "Now I will send you to a special prison for examination."
Special prisons are places dedicated to holding suspects in cases in which the Special Division is responsible. Suspects are vetted here and, if formally convicted, sent again to other prisons.
Wu Fei recalled that when they met for the first time, the Red Sparrow had even frightened him to "put you in a special prison".
After entering the special prison, the group of them was separated. Wu Fei couldn't see the face of the red sparrow and others, and he didn't know how they were.
Wu Fei was also interrogated twice. He insisted that he was just an ordinary passerby. He temporarily joined as a volunteer to help publicize because he felt that what was written in the brochure was reasonable, and the people who acted with him were also ordinary people.
After the second interrogation, Wu Fei was locked in the interrogation room. He was asked to drink some kind of potion that was said to help maintain concentration, but this also prevented him from relaxing or resting, and was mentally exhausted. In this state, it is indeed difficult for him to respond logically and meticulously to the interrogation, and Wu Fei is not sure how long he can hold on.
At this time, two staff members came in:
"Mr. Wu, we want to question you, please come with us."
Wu Fei was a little puzzled. If he wanted to continue the interrogation, why not just do it in the interrogation room?
But he had no right to refuse, and could only follow the two of them honestly.
The two actually took him out of the detention area, and came to an administrative building on the other side, and took him in.
"Where are we going?" Wu Fei couldn't help asking.
"The deputy director is in the office here."
The staff member who brought him said opened a door and motioned Wu Fei to go in.
"The deputy director will review you in his office."
