Chapter XXVII: Silence Indicates Acquiescence

In the early morning, there were many people at the entrance of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they were all public security officers who worked here.

Cao Ruofei, who had just walked to the door, didn't know what was going on, he squeezed through the crowd and saw the "crane" tied up at the door of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, his eyes were blindfolded, his mouth was gagged, and he was wearing a white coat with four black characters written on it: "I am a spy".

Cao Ruofei's several downlines have never seen his true face in Lushan, but he has seen all the people who connect with him from the shadows, so he recognizes that it is his downline "crane" who is tied up.

"Deputy Director Cao, this person still has a note on him." Chen Shuisheng, the current head of the special inspection team, handed Cao Ruofei a piece of paper.

Cao Ruofei took the paper and unfolded it, and it was written the real name, work unit and address of "Crane", as well as what the evidence was and where.

The matter has come to this point, even if he Cao Ruofei wants to protect the "crane", it is difficult for so many people to see it, he believes that the people who have read the note are not only Chen Shuisheng, but everyone present should know the content of the note.

Don't think about it anymore, the evidence suggested on the note should exist, Cao Ruofei wondered who caught the "crane"?

The first thing that flashed through his mind was Li Anping, but he was quickly put with a question mark again, because there was no indication that Li Anping knew anything about him and his downline, although Li Anping was suspicious.

What about the others?

Cao Ruofei thought of two or three more suspects, these people were more likely to be underground than Li Anping, because there were various doubts about their identity information, such as suddenly coming to the city to do some kind of work, doing a good job, but not yet a member of the Communist Party.

Cao Ruofei handed over Chen Shuisheng to be responsible for the follow-up work such as the identification of the "crane", and he returned to the office, closed the door, and calmly thought about the next move. The first thing is not to find out who caught the "crane", but whether the "crane" will confess himself.

Although "Crane" could not recognize himself face to face, once the Communists knew that the "barber" was in the city, his Cao Ruofei's movement would be greatly restricted, and he would have to stay in hiding for a long time and not be able to engage in any spy work.

Without his connection, the spy work of his branch would be scattered, and his downline, as well as his downline, would likely be exposed and arrested for acting without direction.

Cao Ruofei decided to test the tone of the "crane" first, no matter what the "crane" would say, he had to stop all spy activities.

Chen Shuisheng and his spy inspection team went to Chen Xiao's school to collect evidence, Chen Xiao was locked up in the detention room, and Cao Ruofei asked people to take him to the interrogation room.

Chen Xiao was tied up all night, and the back of his head was hit hard, and now he has no energy.

Cao Ruofei knew that in this case, people's will would be relatively weak, and this was the perfect time for him to test Chen Xiao.

Cao Ruofei asked solemnly: "Are you a Kuomintang spy?" ”

"I thought that the Communist Party was talking about evidence, and it turned out that like the Kuomintang, it relied on words to make conclusions." Chen Xiao drooped his head, but his words were sharp enough.

"Evidence? Of course I have proof, and that intelligence transceiver on your desk is the best proof of that. Cao Ruofei wanted to end the interrogation before Chen Shuisheng and the others came back, he didn't want to go around in circles and start directly from the place where he thought it was most likely to prove that Chen Xiao was a spy, so that he could admit that he was a spy as soon as possible.

Next, he wanted to test whether Chen Xiao would confess the "barber" and some other clues.

"What intelligence receiver? Those are just the elements that I use in class. Chen Xiao snorted contemptuously after speaking.

Cao Ruofei initially thought that Chen Xiao's desk was a simple intelligence transceder, although Chen Xiao's words were denying, but this was not self-confession.

The shrewd Cao Ruofei guessed that Chen Xiao should have used various components to assemble an intelligence transceiver by himself. He didn't have time to dwell with Chen Xiao about the logical errors of his words, so he continued: "You said that it was used in class, then we will call the principal and your students to confront you in person whether you used these things in class." ”

"This ......" Chen Xiao didn't expect that the logical thinking of the person in front of him was so strong, and a few words left him without any room for denial. Chen Xiao also knew that after the takeover of the new Chinese government, no individual was required to possess radio transmitters or the like, and that the possession of such equipment was either by people from relevant government departments or spies like him.

"Who's your upline?"

"Where do you put the information you receive and send?"

After Cao Ruofei quickly captured Chen Xiao's defense line of trying to hide his identity, he struck while the iron was hot and turned the problem to the aspect he was most concerned about.

"I didn't go online, I stayed on my own."

"I don't remember the content of the information, I'll destroy it after receiving and sending it, don't force me, it's useless to force me......"

This statement is the common answer of every spy when asked about going online, Cao Ruofei of course knows that this is just a sentence that does not work, he said: "You said that you were spontaneous, then you get an intelligence transceiver, who is sending information, and from whom and where is the information?" ”

"I'm only responsible for collecting intelligence here and sending it to Taiwan." Chen Xiao's answer is the same as Li Lifeng's, and it is also one of the common answers of spies.

This answer can be used to deal with ordinary public security, but it is far from enough to deal with Cao Ruofei, a senior spy.

Cao Ruofei shook his head and said, "It's nearly 2,000 kilometers away from Taiwan in a straight line, and it's good that your hair extension can reach half the distance." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was shocked, he taught physics, and he naturally knew that the maximum effective distance of his simple hair connector was only 1,000 kilometers, and it could not be transmitted to Taiwan at all.

He knew that it did not mean that those public security officers knew that many public security officers in New China were either transferred from the previous soldiers, or were sent by people at the bottom of the previous society, and although they were not illiterate, they basically did not understand physics and other disciplines that were imported from foreign countries.

"Is it your upline who is exchanging information with you?" Cao Ruofei saw that Chen Xiao's mood had changed, and he saw through Chen Xiao's words that he didn't know how to deal with himself except for silence, so he took the initiative to give Chen Xiao a reasonable guidance seemingly unintentionally.

When Chen Xiao heard this, he was shocked again: he had been forced to a dead end by the person in front of him, although he would not confess to the upper and lower lines, but there was no suitable way to deal with it.

He had wanted to respond with silence, but didn't this question give him a revelation? Although he has an answer, he can't answer too quickly, otherwise it will seem too fake.

"Silence means you're acquiescing."

Cao Ruofei showed a hideous smile, but Chen Xiao didn't notice all this......
