Chapter VI: Arraignment
Tang Cheng, who felt the concern of his elders, slept well all night, got up early the next morning to practice boxing, and went out to buy breakfast and came back by the way. While eating breakfast, Zhou Hongxiang, who had been avoiding Tang Cheng, looked at it and had returned to normal, looking at Zhang Jianghe blinking at himself like an old and indecent person, Tang Cheng suddenly had some evil hopes in his heart that Zhang Jianghe could keep blinking like this, and it was best to blink his eyeballs out of one.
"That's... After dinner, come with me to do something! Under Zhang Jianghe's continuous hints, Tang Cheng swallowed the wonton in his mouth, and looked at Zhou Hong, who had a hint of eagerness in his expression. Zhou Hongxiang would show such an expression, Tang Cheng knew that it must have been Zhang Jianghe who had already told Zhou Hongxiang about it, Tang Cheng suddenly remembered at this moment that although Zhou Hongxiang was a young girl less than 20 years old, the other party was born in the rivers and lakes, and her temperament was tougher and more lively than that of ordinary girls.
"Good! Godfather already told me about it last night! Zhou Hongxiang really nodded generously at Tang Cheng and agreed. But then looking at Zhang Jianghe's eyes, there was a joy that his intention was successful, how did Tang Cheng find the eye contact between Zhou Hongxiang and Zhang Jianghe at this time, maybe he would think that he was being calculated by Zhang Jiang and the two of them.
Having already obtained the warrant and pass from Secretary Yao, Tang Cheng entered and exited the gate and prison of the intelligence department, so he did not need those cumbersome procedures. Zhou Hongxiang, who entered the intelligence department for the first time, felt new to everything, but when she followed Tang Cheng to the small building where the prisoner was held, she immediately moved from behind Tang Cheng to Tang Cheng's flank. "I smell a lot of blood here!" Zhou Hongxiang, who had a careful look in his eyes, lowered his voice, stretched his neck and whispered in Tang Cheng's ear.
Except for his family, this was the first time Tang Cheng had such close contact with a young girl, forcibly holding back the throbbing in his heart, Tang Cheng shook his head lightly. "It's okay, this is a special place for Japanese spies, and there are a few interrogation rooms on the left, it's normal to smell blood." Tang Cheng didn't squint, he didn't dare to look at the pretty face on his side, but just explained a few words lightly.
Tang Cheng came here just to find some usable clues from Keiji Kono, so he didn't apply for an interrogation room, but asked for an empty room to meet Keiji Kono. After about a cigarette, there was a faint sound of iron tools rubbing on the concrete floor outside the door, and soon, a tall and thin figure appeared in the doorway. Keiji Kono looked very thin, Tang Cheng didn't know if it was because he had been imprisoned here for a long time, the handcuffs and shackles on Keiji Kono's body, Tang Cheng directly chose to ignore it.
"Sit down, I have something I want to ask you, if you cooperate, maybe I will give you some small reward!" Tang Cheng made a wooden face and looked at Keiji Kono, who was blindfolded by the black cloth. Keiji Kono was also secretly moving on his side, and although his eyes were blindfolded with a black cloth, his ears were still there. It's just that Kono Keiji didn't expect that Tang Cheng not only let people blindfold him with a black cloth, but also deliberately stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth before he spoke, and his voice had changed his tone a little.
"He's listening to your voice!" Zhou Hongxiang saw Kono Keiji's constantly shaking ears, and then leaned to Tang Cheng's side again, reminding Tang Cheng in a low voice. Just as the words were spoken, Zhou Hongxiang suddenly realized, and only then did she understand what Tang Cheng had done before for what he had explained.
"Our opponent is a Japanese spy lurking in the city of Nanjing, and it is better to be inconspicuous than to do this. If it is not necessary, it is better not to let the other party see his face, in case the opponent escapes, it is likely to form a mortal threat. That's why I blindfolded him and deliberately changed his tone and voice. Sensing Zhou Hongxiang's embarrassment, Tang Cheng hurriedly explained in a low voice.
After Zhou Hong's makeup softened his complexion and nodded lightly to indicate that he had understood, Tang Cheng turned his gaze back to Keiji Kono. "Keiji Kono, you are a member of Tegaoke, and Tegaoke also belongs to the military, so you must know that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to spies, right?" Tang Cheng tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop, while carefully watching Kono's reaction after hearing his words.
As Tang Cheng had expected in advance, Keiji Kono, who heard this, did not show reactions such as anger, struggle, and scolding, but just sat quietly in his chair and remained motionless as before. "Oh... Don't speak! Do you know what I'm trying to say, or do you simply not know what I'm talking about? Kono Keiji didn't react, but Tang Cheng didn't stop talking, but continued to speak on his own.
Tang Cheng's self-talk made Zhou Hong, who was sitting next to him, feel embarrassed for no reason, and Keiji Kono still looked half-dead. "Keiji Kono, you can't do this!" Seeing that Keiji Kono still didn't say a word, Tang Cheng immediately got up and walked to Keiji Kono's side, and stretched out his right hand to put it on Keiji Kono's shoulder. "I'll teach you to be a good person, no matter who comes to interrogate you in the future, you just have to talk nonsense. You've met me today, and if you were to change to a grumpy one, you might have been tied to the shelf. ”
When Tang Cheng said the word shelf, he deliberately bit the sound of the word, and Keiji Kono, who had been blindfolded, shook his body subconsciously, but he immediately regained his calm. Tang Cheng was not in a hurry, because he knew that agents like Keiji Kono who were sent to the Kono region to lurk had been trained in counter-interrogation. However, people's knee-jerk reactions will not deceive people, and the tremor of Keiji Kono just now made Tang Cheng secretly laugh in his heart, and he said in his heart that this thing finally reacted to his words.
Tang Cheng paused slightly, then leaned over and whispered in Kono's ear, "Kono Keiji, if this is a police station, you can bite the bullet and say that you are a businessman and get out." But this is the Intelligence Division, and the Intelligence Division never spends its time on an insignificant person, do you think you still insist that you are a businessman? ”
Tang Cheng's words were not a so-called strategy to attack the heart, but a question that he had planned a long time ago, and what he said before was just to pave the way for this problem. Sure enough, Keiji Kono, who was blindfolded, still didn't say a word, but in his mind, he was already thinking back to the scene when he left Shanghai, when his boss Kimura Masashin explained the task to him.
Tang Cheng's right hand had been on Kono's shoulder, and when he asked this question, Tang Cheng's right hand moved slightly towards Kono Keiji's neck, and the outside of his thumb was already attached to Kono's neck. When Tang Cheng said the last word, his right hand deliberately pressed down, and Kono Keiji thought that Tang Cheng's action was just an auxiliary action to accentuate his tone.
Tang Cheng's action was naturally not an auxiliary action, along with the memories in Kono Keiji's mind, Tang Cheng had also successfully copied this memory, and he already had an understanding of Kono Keiji's identity and his mission to Nanjing. Keiji Kono gritted his teeth and didn't speak, Tang Cheng was still not angry, but continued to ask the next question, "If you don't want to talk about this, then let's skip it directly!" I want to know now, you say you're a businessman, what kind of business are you doing? After coming to Nanjing, where did you live? ”
Tang Cheng slowed down his tone, the purpose was not to divert Kono's attention, but to let Kono Keiji continue to recall his memories according to his words. Keiji Kono made up his mind not to speak today, no matter how Tang Cheng asked, he just Xu Chu entered Cao Ying and didn't say a word. Tang Cheng was not angry, but according to the steps planned last night, he mixed the three questions he had prepared in advance into a large pile of nonsense, and asked Kono Keiji one by one.
Thinking that as long as he didn't say a word, he could make Tang Cheng return in vain, but Kono Keiji didn't know that there was such a magical thing as a system in this world, and Tang Cheng's questions just now, he didn't open his mouth to answer. But as long as his mind reacted to Tang Cheng's question, Tang Cheng, who had already secretly activated the copying skill, could smoothly copy the relevant memories from his mind and find the answer he wanted.
Tang Cheng's skills obtained from the lottery in the system can be called rebellious, but these skills are all limited, just like the memory copying skill he used just now, he can only use it three times a day, and each time he can only copy a 15-second memory. It was already planned that he would interrogate this Kono Keiji today, and Tang Cheng had thought about the questions to be asked today last night, because there were only three chances to copy the relevant memories of the other party, so Tang Cheng's three questions were specially selected from more than a dozen questions.
Tang Cheng's first question has figured out Kono's identity and his mission to Nanjing, while the second question is to figure out his foothold in Nanjing, and the third question is even more important, Kono Keiji's connector in Nanjing has been mastered by Tang Cheng at the moment. "Let's go, since he doesn't want to explain, then let's continue tomorrow!" Having already gotten the answer he wanted, Tang Cheng immediately got up and left, but Keiji Kono was confused.
"How could he be so stubborn?" After leaving the interrogation room, Zhou Hong complained to Tang Cheng angrily. "The Japanese should be killed, you shouldn't have been so kind to him just now, as long as people are afraid of pain, I don't believe that the Japanese are different from others, you should have whipped him with a leather whip just now." Zhou Hongxiang's complaint made Tang Cheng cry and laugh, and said that when this woman was in Shanghai, she was not so violent!
