Chapter 8 Arrest
Just when Li Xiaoning picked up the USB flash drive and was about to leave, suddenly the bright headlights shone over, and two full-size SUVs rushed out of the woods and crossed the road, and then several men with guns got down from the two cars, holding pistols and forcing Li Xiaoning.
βFBI.β A tall white man shouted at Li Xiaoning, "Youareunderarrest."
Li Xiaoning didn't expect that he would fall short in the end, he hesitated for half a second, gave up his intention to resist, secretly flicked his right hand back, threw the USB flash drive into the lake, and then slowly raised his hands.
FBI agents rushed up, pushed Li Xiaoning to the ground, searched Li Xiaoning's body first, found no weapons, and then handcuffed him and stuffed him into the car.
Half an hour later, Li Xiaoning was taken to an empty house with cement primary color walls, a chair in the middle, and a glass curtain on the front wall, so that no one could be seen, only four cameras on the ceiling stared at him.
"Sit down." A voice said.
Li Xiaoning looked at the chair and sat down.
"Tell me who you are." The voice said.
"My name is Li Xiaoning, I am an assistant military attache of the Huaxia Embassy in the United States, I have not violated the laws of your country, I don't know why I was arrested?" Li Xiaoning asked rhetorically after revealing his identity.
"The identity of a diplomat is just a cover for you, you know, and we know that you are a spy." The other party said.
"My name is Li Xiaoning, I am an assistant military attache at the Huaxia Embassy in the United States, I have not violated the laws of your country, please release me immediately." Li Xiaoning said again. He knows that in the face of the FBI, talking more means making more mistakes, and he simply doesn't explain, anyway, it is a civilized society now, and Americans are particularly particular about the law, and they have revealed their identity as diplomats, you can't torture me to extract a confession, right?
"You should understand that spies have no human rights, so you'd better confess obediently, otherwise we won't be polite to you." The other party was obviously not so easy to fool, and began to intimidate Li Xiaoning.
And Li Xiaoning still used the sentence: "My name is Li Xiaoning, I am an assistant military attache of the Huaxia Embassy in the United States, I have not violated the laws of your country, please release me immediately." "Respond.
After an exchange, the interrogator lost patience and rushed in two strong men with guns, dragged Li Xiaoning away, changed to a small room, and then asked Li Xiaoning to undress.
βWhat?β Li Xiaoning suspected that he had misheard, and asked rhetorically in English.
"Take off your clothes." The other party scolded again.
Li Xiaoning had no choice but to start undressing, and after taking off his coat, sweater and pants, he stopped, and inside was thermal underwear.
"Take it off again!" The other party raised his gun and said.
Li Xiaoning's heart was very angry, but in the face of the two rifles, he also knew that he had no chance of winning, so he had to take off his thermal underwear, and now there was only a pair of underwear left. There was no air conditioning and heating in the house, and on a cold day, Li Xiaoning immediately had goosebumps on his body.
"Strip naked!" The other party still refuses to give up.
"Nima, what kind of tone is this?" Li Xiaoning cursed in his heart. Slowly clenched his fists.
"Strip naked." The other shouted again, accompanied by the sound of scolding and pulling the bolt.
Li Xiaoning stared at the muzzle of the black hole for more than ten seconds, and finally let go of his hands and took off his underwear.
"Turn around. Hold your head in your hands. β
"It's not going to rape me, is it?" When Li Xiaoning turned around, he felt the chrysanthemum tighten.
But there was no imaginary vulgar scene, Li Xiaoning turned around, and the two gun-wielding guards did not make further movements, but just stood behind Li Xiaoning. But as long as Li Xiaoning moved slightly, a cold gun immediately stabbed him.
Although the other party did not take any further action, he stripped naked and stood in the winter, and was not allowed to move, which was definitely torture.
Time passed minute by minute, Li Xiaoning's hands and feet became heavier and heavier, his muscles began to tremble, and his body seemed to be full of thorns......
At this moment, the two gun-wielding guards in the back seemed to have received instructions from above, told Li Xiaoning to get dressed, and then took him into another interrogation room.
There was a stainless steel table in the interrogation room, and behind the table sat an agent in a suit in his forties, who saw Li Xiaoning come in and pointed to the chair across the table from him.
Li Xiaoning didn't speak, stepped forward and sat down.
The middle-aged agent smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Mr. Li Xiaoning, I think you also understand that when you come here, it is useless to quibble and deny. You and I both know your identity, you are a spy sent by Huaxia. Tell me, who is your inside line. I'll let you go. Even if nothing happens, you can still go back and continue to be a diplomat. Otherwise, you know how countries deal with spies. After speaking, the middle-aged agent leaned back, waiting for Li Xiaoning to speak.
Li Xiaoning pursed his lips and said dryly: "My name is Li Xiaoning, I am an assistant military attache of the Huaxia Embassy in the United States, I have not violated the laws of your country, please release me immediately." β
The middle-aged agent smiled instead of being angry, "Mr. Li Xiaoning, I admire your loyalty, you admire your bravery, and I hope your perseverance is enough for me to admire." Take it down. β
After being frozen for several hours, and because he couldn't move, Li Xiaoning was exhausted at this time and wanted to lie down and rest for a while. But the other party didn't give him a chance to breathe at all. Two guards with guns led him into another house, pushed him against the wall, and the strong light shone directly at Li Xiaoning's face, making it impossible for him to see the other party's expression.
A voice came from the direction where the light came: "We already have enough evidence of you, and now it doesn't matter much if you confess or not." Still, we'll give you a chance to confess. Don't be obsessed, your accomplices have already confessed. β
"Accomplices?" Li Xiaoning was inexplicable, "Where did I come from?" It's ridiculous! β
"Well, it's brave enough. Execution. β
With a voice, two armed guards rushed forward, tied Li Xiaoning to a chair, and then walked in a white man, put on rubber gloves, unscrewed the lid of the bucket of pure water, spread the towel on Li Xiaoning's face, and began to water.
Waterboarding is already the most basic torture, and it has little effect on the strong-willed, so Li Xiaoning will naturally not give in. So the next thing is to hang it up and whip it, and it is still dipped in water, and the water is still salt water.
After more than a dozen lashes, Li Xiaoning felt that he really couldn't support it this time......
