Chapter 172: Extorting Confessions by Torture

Chen Knock didn't actually stumble when he spoke, but everyone called him that, but no one knew how this nickname came about.

When Chen Bangba woke up, he found Pang Jindong sitting opposite him, bandaging the wound on his abdomen.

"You...... Who is it?" Chen Knockba looked at Pang Jindong with confused eyes and asked weakly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I know who you are!" Pang Jindong said, wrapped the last bandage and got dressed.

"You ......" Chen was about to speak, when he suddenly found himself stiff and unable to move. Only then did he pay attention to his situation, and found that he was standing and fixed to a machine.

It may not be accurate to say that it is a machine, but it cannot be described in other words. Every joint on Chen Knock's body was firmly fixed in an iron ring. And the iron ring is connected to many gears. He could faintly see some electrical devices, all connected to a mechanical alarm clock. The alarm clock was making an annoying "ticking" sound, reporting the time to Chen Bangba.

Looking at this inexplicable scene and this strange device, a sense of fear suddenly welled up in Chen Bangba's heart. This time he was as good as his name suggested, and he stumbled and asked, "Are you...... Want...... What are you going to do?"

Pang Jindong smiled and asked, "Have you watched "Chainsaw"?"

Chen shook his head, not understanding the meaning of the question.

"I was inspired by this film and prepared this little gift for you. Pang Jindong pointed to the alarm clock and told Chen Knockba: "See, there are still five minutes to go until twenty o'clock, and this machine will start running at twenty o'clock at a fixed time." At that point, the gears will move the fixtures in your joints and twist all your joints in different directions. ”

Although Chen Xiaoba had not watched "Chainsaw Horror" and did not understand the operation principle of this machine, Pang Jindong's words understood, and a row of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead.

Pang Jindong lit a swallow, took a sip, and then said slowly: "If you don't understand what this means, I can sue you, every joint in your body will become a comminuted fracture, and then the ligaments and muscle tissue will also be twisted, and in the end, you will die a tragic death." ”

Chen knocked out a gasp and asked, "Are you...... What are you going to do?"

Pang Jindong did not answer this question, but further explained: "But this process is not done immediately, according to my setting, the gears will only turn ten degrees every five minutes. I reckon by the time you turn 180 degrees, you'll be dead. In other words, you have an hour and a half to live. ”

Hearing these words, Chen Knocka felt a chill, and more cold sweat broke out on his forehead, flowing down the corners of his eyes to his cheeks, and then dripping from the corners of his mouth. And his body was already soaked in cold sweat. The joints that were immobilized felt the coldness of the iron ring at this time.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Bangba's mind was blank, and he couldn't think of any other questions, so he had to repeat what he had just said mechanically.

"There's something I want to know from you, because I'm worried that you won't cooperate, so I have to do this!" After a pause, Pang Jindong reminded the other party: "Actually, it's right to tell me what I want to know, don't forget that I just saved you." ”

"You saved me for this ......"

"That's right!" Pang Jindong nodded and told Chen Zhengba: "It's not easy for me, and I took a big risk. Fortunately, the scheduled time for arrest has not arrived, and the deployment of the police has not been fully launched, otherwise we would not be able to fly even if we have wings. ”

Chen knocked down as much as he could, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What do you want to know?"

"You Qingtou Gang recently found a partner, I want to know the details of your partner!"

"How can there be any partners...... Chen squeezed out a smile and replied: "We are just mixed society, and we are not doing business, what kind of partners do we want?"

"Since you don't say it, I can't help it!" Pang Jindong said, sat there and smoked, and didn't say a word.

Looking at Pang Jindong's leisurely appearance and experiencing the oppression brought by this device, Chen Bangba felt a chill from the inside out, and couldn't help but shiver. In an instant, Chen Knocka secretly prayed that what Pang Jindong said just now was a lie.

Chen's fear was planned by the sound of the alarm clock, but the sound only lasted for a moment. Immediately afterwards, the device made a "creaking" sound, and Chen Bangba immediately felt that the joints of his body were twisted in different directions by the powerful force. Chen Knockba used the greatest strength in his life, trying to compete with this force, but in vain. No matter how hard he tried, his own body and the device did not move, still moving in the established way.

When the device stopped, there was a slight pain all over Chen's body.

Pang Jindong snuffed out the cigarette butt and asked, "Are you going to say it?"

"Really...... There really aren't any partners!"

"Then let's continue to consume!" Pang Jindong said, lighting another cigarette for himself.

When the alarm went off for the second time, the device made that horrible sound again. Chen tried to contend with him again, but once again failed. He had exhausted all his strength, and his muscles were aching. Most importantly, when the device stopped again, the slight pain just now had turned into a sharp pain.

"Ah~~~!" Chen Knock let out a miserable scream, tears of pain burst out of his eyes, mixed with sweat.

"I've calculated that within thirty degrees, you're safe, just a little bit of flesh and skin. But if you go beyond 30 degrees, your body will break bones, beyond 60 degrees......"

"Don't say it...... Chen Bangba shouted, telling Pang Jindong: "Hurry up and let this thing stop......

"How do you speak?!" Pang Jindong frowned slightly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Chen Bangba's foul language just now.

Chen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately apologized and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry......" and then he pleaded, "Whatever you want to know, I said, you stop this thing." ”

"You have to say something first, so that I can believe in your sincerity!"

Chen Bangba gasped for breath and told Pang Jindong: "We...... We do have partners...... Sell powder together ......"

Pang Jindong walked to the device, pressed a switch, and said, "It's a temporary stop, and when you tell me everything I need to know, I'll put you down and let you get out of here safely." ”

"Really?" asked Chen Knockba suspiciously.

"I rescued you for a living person, not a dead body. ”

Looking at Pang Jindong, Chen knocked his eyes and said, "I've already sued you!"

Pang Jindong sneered and asked, "You know more than that, right?"

"That's all, our cooperation hasn't officially started yet......"

"Did you say it all? Not necessarily, at least you didn't say that these people were from Burma!"

"You ......" Chen Bangba realized that Pang Jindong knew more than he thought.

"Don't you say it yet?" Pang Jindong said, and pressed the button again, "Okay! Okay!" Chen Knockba agreed again and again, staring nervously at Pang Jindong's fingers. "I'll say it all!"

"Please!" Pang Jindong didn't press down, and returned to his seat and sat down.

Chen knocked out his breath for a long time before he said slowly: "There is a group of people from Myanmar who reached a cooperation with our Qingtou Gang some time ago. They are responsible for supplying the goods, and we are responsible for selling in the whole city B. ”

"The whole city of B?"

"That's right!" Chen nodded and continued: "Start with Bar Street first, because there is the biggest market there!"

"But Bar Street is the land of the Star Dragons!"

"We've fought the Dragons in the past over Bar Street, but we've lost. Some time ago, the Star Dragon Gang was infighting, and we plan to take this opportunity to get rid of their boss and take over Bar Street. But we never found the boss, and the civil strife was quickly put to rest. ”

"So that's the case!" Thinking of the troubles caused by Lin Peiwen staying at her house in order to avoid internal and external threats, Pang Jindong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Later, with the support of the Burmese, we decided to officially declare war on the Star Dragon Gang, who knew that the police were looking for trouble for us every day, and it ended up in vain. ”

Pang Jindong secretly thought in his heart: "The police inadvertently fulfilled Lin Peiwen, no wonder she was so happy." Pang Jindong asked again: "Because your Qingtou Gang has collapsed now, these Burmese want to carry out assassinations and force the police to stop attacking you, am I right?"

Chen knocked his eyes and lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You're forced dogs to jump over the wall, and the Burmese are confused, they don't know the country well. Do they think that this is a small country? The government will be as weak as the government of Colombia or Burma? The result of this is that they will not be able to gain a foothold in this country at all!" After a pause, Pang Jindong asked, "You haven't said yet, what are these Burmese people called?"

"What...... What do you call it?"

"Don't pretend to be confused, there are many gangs in the Golden Triangle, which one do they belong to?"

With a sigh, Chen Zhuoba said five words: "The Kokang Republican Army!"

Pang Jindong gasped: "No wonder they are so rampant." ”

In the civil war more than half a century ago, a remnant of the losing side was forced to cross the border and enter Indochina. Some people say that China has never lacked good men, and it is not unreasonable. This army, which had been beaten in its own country, swept across the land of a foreign country. Local governments are helpless against this lone army.

For historical and practical reasons, the Golden Triangle region is rich in opium. After the remnants of the army arrived here, they faced a completely unfamiliar environment and surrounded enemies, and in order to survive, they chose to feed the army with poison.

This is a rather complex history, involving many international relations and political factors. Perhaps due to the inferior nature of the disunity of the Chinese people, the remnants of the army continued to break out internal problems, and there was constant friction with the local Chinese. Later, under the external attack and division of various governments, it eventually became completely divided, some became mercenaries, and some merged with other drug cartels.

Since then, the Golden Triangle region has been surging, several major drug lords have risen one after another, and have declined one after another, and the remnants of the army have gradually faded out of people's field of vision. But what few people know is that a small remnant army of people who adhered to their own political ideals combined with the local Kokang people in Myanmar to become the predecessor of the Kokang Republican Army.

At the northern end of Myanmar's Shan State, at the bottom of southwestern Yunnan, there is a Han ethnic group that has survived and multiplied for more than 300 years. This ethnic Chinese is known as the Kokang in Myanmar.

When the Ming Dynasty fell more than 300 years ago, some officials and people of the Ming Dynasty followed the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang into exile in Burma. Later, the traitor Wu Sangui captured Zhu Youlang and hanged him to death on the death slope in Kunming. However, many former Ming civil and military officials, retinues and a large number of ordinary people who fled into Myanmar did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty and survived in the barren mountains and wild habitats until today.

The Kokang people can be said to be the hardest bones among the Chinese in the world, and when the Chinese in other countries were discriminated against and even slaughtered, they stubbornly survived in a foreign land, while maintaining their own language, writing and culture. Although they also made a slight concession, they accepted the appellation of the "Kokang people" and called their local dialect the Kokang language, and the Chinese characters they used were called Kokang Wen.

In the 60s of the 20th century, the Burmese People's Army was stationed in Kokang, and in the 80s, Kokang established the "Burmese Shan State National Democratic Alliance Army", and in the same year, it was recognized by the Myanmar government as the "First Special Region of Shan State", and legally had its own army and autonomous region.

The environment of the entire Indochina Peninsula is very complex, with numerous political and military forces, especially in the Golden Triangle, including the Kokang region. Even after the establishment of the First Special Zone, Kokang was not monolithic. Under the leadership of the non-unified SAR government, several forces have lost their strengths and weaknesses, including the Kokang Republican Army.

The Kokang IRA does not identify with the current SAR government, and they are pursuing complete independence in northern Burma, and they are fighting against many governments for this. This is a very strong and combat-ready team, but in the past, under the shadow of Luo Xinghan and Kun Sha and others, they were not very noticeable.

Similar to the Khmer Rouge, they were also involved in illegal activities to raise funds for the realization of their ideals, the most important of which was drugs. Compared with Kunsha, which once monopolized 70 percent of the world's heroin trade, their market share is not large, and it can even be said that it is pitiful. But the money they make is likely to be incomparable to Kunsha.

The mystery here lies in one of the biggest features of the drug trade, that is, the producers make a small profit, and the middlemen make a large profit. Kunsha himself once said with great emotion: "I have a lot of opium, but I don't have much money." It is the middlemen who have the money. They only pay us $200 for 1 kilogram of heroin, but they sell it for $200,000 when it arrives in the United States. ”
