The inspector saw that the lid of the cauldron was indeed a simple lamp, and he carefully examined Lu Jie's whole body, and found no traces of being beaten, and even opened his hair to check his scalp, and went out.

Inspector Li Anping walked away, turned on the light again, and shot directly at Lu Jie's face, who closed his eyes and howled for a while, but did not see the inspector coming.

Maybe he was tired of shouting, or maybe he thought that the inspector would not come again, so he lowered his head and stopped shouting.

"Do you recruit or not?" Li Anping asked Lu Jie proudly, "If you don't recruit, we will sit like this until tomorrow." ”

Lu Jie lowered his head and still didn't say a word, Li Anping took off his clothes and put it on the back end of the cauldron lid, fixed the position of the cauldron lid, freed his hands, and then stilted Erlang's legs and hummed a small tune.

More than an hour passed, and the bright light kept piercing Lu Jie's eyes, making him unable to concentrate and restless, and his psychological defense line had begun to collapse.

Lu Jie tried to bury his head as low or twist to the side as he could, but it was all in vain, and the lid of the cauldron covered his entire range of motion after concave concentrating.

The bright light had already caused him to feel severely dizzy, he wanted to vomit but couldn't, he wanted to shout, but his mouth was dry, and his vocal cords couldn't make a sound at all.

Li Anping saw that Lu Jie was a little staggering, as if he was about to faint, and he asked, "Do you recruit or not?" ”

Lu Jie grew his mouth and wanted to say "move", but he couldn't make a sound, so he nodded again and again.

Li Anping got up and turned off the light, let Lu Jie recover for a moment, and asked, "Where are you from?" ”

Lu Jie replied weakly: "Yunnan people." ”

"Who is your superior?"

"I don't have a superior, I do it alone."

Li Anping went to turn on the switch again, and then shook Lu Jie with the lamp, Lu Jie had enough of the suffering of this strong light, and after screaming weakly, he hurriedly said in a pleading tone: "Turn it off, turn it off, I'll say anything." ”

Li Anping turned off the switch and asked again: "Who is your superior?" ”

"The Barber" ......"

When Li Anping was interrogating Lu Jie, he suddenly heard Lu Jie say that his superior was a "barber".

The "scalpel" operation was the real and only "big scene" that Li Anping dreamed of in his underground work, but the "barber" not only hit him hard, but also retreated.

If Wu Qianyun is the lingering shadow of his feelings, then "The Barber" is the lingering shadow of his whole life.

Li Anping dreamed of catching or killing the "barber" countless times to make a name for himself, and even when he returned to the north, he still did not forget to look for clues to the "barber".

So much so that he didn't let go of the cigarette butts on the ground, and he wanted to pick them up to see if it was an unlit but broken cigarette butt of the "Old Knife" brand.

At this time, Li Anping was extremely excited, his blood began to heat up, and he almost jumped up from his chair, staring at Lu Jie with bright eyes, and asked, "The 'barber' is also here now?" ”

Lu Jie lowered his head, but he also felt Li Anping's sudden change, he pretended to be extremely tired and physically exhausted and did not answer immediately, thinking about something in his heart.

"The 'Barber' is here now, too?" Li Anping saw that Lu Jie didn't answer, so he slapped the table in a hurry.

Seeing that Li Anping was so impatient, Lu Jie guessed that there must have been a confrontation between him and the "barber", so he continued to pretend to be struggling and replied, "I don't know." Your secret stronghold was raided by you a few months ago, and he and I narrowly escaped, and everyone else died. I heard that he may have gone to Taiwan......"

Lu Jie was already out of breath after speaking. Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Li Anping struggled in his heart for a moment, and then asked, "What does the 'barber' look like?" Where are the people? What is your real name? ”

Lu Jie gasped a few more times and replied weakly: "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”

It is understandable that a spy does not know where his superiors are, but it is absolutely impossible not to know what his superiors look like. When Li Anping heard this, he didn't speak, he went directly to turn on the light switch, and then set the lid of the pot on Lu Jie.

Lu Jie's spirit, which had just recovered a little, collapsed in an instant, and he said in horror: "Turn it off!" Turn it off! I said, I said ......"

Li Anping did not turn off the switch this time, but directly buckled the lid of the pot on the table. Lu Jie adjusted a little and said slowly: "He only came to Yunnan in October last year and took over our branch.

Every time we met, he gave us different secret messages through different people, and asked us to meet at a base or a specific place.

Whether it is in a stronghold or a designated place, he will use a white paper screen to cut off everyone's view, so none of us have seen him before.

I can only tell from the accent that he is from the north, and I can't tell the accent of which province it is. ”

The "white paper screen" greatly increased the credibility of Lu Jie's words in Li Anping, it turned out that the "barber" had been lurking in Kunming for a long time, and the assassination of Chairman Lu may have only been one of his later tasks.

Li Anping's heart was full of doubts, Zhao Zhengyuan said on the line that the "barber" had only entered Yunnan before the assassination of Lu Han, and he learned from Lu Jie that the "barber" had entered Yunnan in October last year, and it seemed that the Kuomintang had long been suspicious of Lu Han.

In the past four years, he and Zhao Zhengyuan have heard part of the situation of several spies, including Lu Jie, the "carpenter" in front of them, but they have never heard them mention the "barber".

The assassination of Lu Han by the "barber" was also inferred by Zhao Zhengyuan from the phone call between the "carpenter" and others.

It can be seen how cunning the "barber" is, no wonder Zhao Zhengyuan was extremely nervous when he carried out the "scalpel" operation.

"How did you get here from Yunnan?" Li Anping didn't believe that this was a coincidence, Lu Jie had already told him that the "barber" might go to Taiwan, but he still had a glimmer of hope to find some clues about the "barber".

"After I escaped, I got in touch with the original upline, he sent me here to pick up a new mission, and I was caught by you before I could pick it up."

Lu Jie didn't lie about this, the information in Li Anping's hand recorded the process of his arrest, Lu Jie's stronghold in Yunnan was terminated, although he escaped by luck, but he was wanted by the whole country.

He was recognized by the Communist underground organization halfway through, followed him here, and then notified the local public security bureau to arrest him.

Li Anping was a little puzzled about this, why didn't he wait for Lu Jie to connect with his accomplices before arresting him? Since Lu Jie is here to connect, there must be a joint code or method, so Li Anping asked: "How do you connect with the spies here?" ”

"Connector code?"

"Where is the joint?"

"I don't know ......"
