Chapter 46: Untitled
Suddenly taken away from home in the middle of the night, although Xie Laohan was not a timid person, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and panicked in his heart. When questioned in the interrogation room, Xie Laohan was a little relieved, as long as the other party was not a robber, after all, he knew some people in Chongqing, even if the other party was a private department, he would not be able to put himself in prison.
However, after the young man took out the photos of Luo Sihai and Wang Xiang, the fear that had dissipated in Xie Laohan's heart went and returned, although the other party did not say who it was, but Xie Laohan knew that these people were definitely not from the anti-private department. Xie Laohan, who didn't know if he could escape this time, was discouraged, but no matter how the other party pressed him, he bit his previous confession to death, only saying that he was an ordinary businessman and didn't know anything else.
Seeing that Xie Laohan was whipped covered in blood, and still refused to spit out, Tang Cheng had no choice but to go out in person. "Put him down!" Tang Cheng walked into the interrogation room, carrying a bucket of water and a stack of yellow paper. After Xie Laohan, who was covered in blood, was fixed on the bench on his back, Tang Cheng walked up to him and said coldly, "Let me ask you one last time, who entrusted you with Wang Xiang to work in the gouache shop through Luo Sihai?" What is your relationship with that shoemaker? ”
From Tang Cheng's voice, a trace of impatience could be heard, but Xie Laohan, who was fixed on the bench on his back, still insisted on his previous confession, using crying as a cover, and only said that he was an ordinary businessman. "Pour water!" Seeing that Xie Laohan still had a dead face, Tang Cheng picked up a piece of yellow paper and covered Xie Laohan's mouth and nose, and the torturer carrying the water scoop immediately scooped out a scoop of water from the bucket and poured it on the yellow paper on Xie Laohan's face according to Tang Cheng's order.
Tie Jia Guan is a kind of torture method handed down from ancient times, and the specific origin of the age is no longer possible to be examined. Tang Cheng's method of doing to Xie Laohan at this moment is the improved sticker plus official, the original sticker plus official uses mulberry paper with strong toughness, and it is rice wine that wets mulberry paper. Tang Cheng now uses clean water and cheaper yellow paper, although the toughness of yellow paper is not as good as mulberry paper, but Tang Cheng can not stand a few more layers, but the final effect is the same.
The yellow paper on Xie Laohan's face was immediately wet with water, and as soon as Tang Cheng raised his right hand, he snapped, and another piece of yellow paper was pasted. Tang Cheng and the torturer in charge of watering were a little stiff at first, but when Tang Cheng pasted the fifth piece of yellow paper, the cooperation between the two became smooth. In the records of the ancient method of sticking to the officials, the prisoners who were given the stickers were able to hold on to the fifth piece of mulberry paper at most, and then fell into a coma because they could not breathe.
And Tang Cheng was using yellow paper and water with poor toughness at the moment, and Xie Laohan's endurance was not bad, Tang Cheng and the two of them had been pasted until the eighth piece of yellow paper, and Xie Laohan on the bench began to struggle violently, and then his body fell into a coma. The reason for the name is that after the prisoner has fallen into a coma, the mulberry paper removed from the prisoner's face will look like a mask.
And the yellow paper that Tang Cheng took off from Xie Laohan's face at this moment was not wet at all, but its effect of isolating the air and making the prisoner unconscious due to breathing difficulties was very good. Xie Laohan, who was stunned by Tang Cheng with a sticker, was quickly woken up by a scoop of cold water, but before Xie Laohan could spit out the breath that had been inhaled into his lungs, a new piece of yellow paper covered his mouth and nose again.
"Shopkeeper Xie, you have to think clearly, I just pasted eight pieces of paper from you, why don't we try ten pieces of paper this time?" Tang Cheng's voice made Xie Laohan's breathing become short, and before the yellow paper on his face was wet with water, Xie Laohan couldn't care about other things, but just breathed quickly after a few possibilities. Tang Cheng did what he said, this time he really pasted ten pieces of yellow paper on Xie Laohan's face in one go, and then quietly watched Xie Laohan go from trying to hold his breath to struggling hard.
The previous time he posted the official, Xie Laohan had just fainted, and Tang Cheng tore off the yellow paper on his face. And this time, Tang Cheng just watched quietly, waiting for Xie Laohan's crotch to get wet, and then reached out and ripped off the yellow paper on Xie Laohan's face. From heaven to hell, and from hell to heaven, Xie Laohan, who woke up quietly after being pinched hard, only relieved his breath and cried loudly.
"I'll leave it to you, ask me carefully!" Tang Cheng knew that the two stickers had completely shattered the last insistence in Xie Laohan's heart, and the next questioning should be no problem, so he handed over the rest of the matter to the two torturers. The truth was indeed as Tang Cheng expected, just a quarter of an hour later, a new confession was sent to Tang Cheng, Xie Laohan couldn't hold on, so he confessed everything.
"Sanjiang Teahouse? Hehe, I didn't expect to go around in a big circle, and finally turned back here! Xie Laohan's confession appeared the name of Sanjiang Teahouse many times, which made Tang Cheng can't help but chuckle. Before arresting the shoemaker, Tang Cheng had already suspected that there was something wrong with the Sanjiang Teahouse, but he didn't expect that the whole thing would go around in such a big circle, and finally come back to the Sanjiang Teahouse.
"Uncle, before we arrested the shoemaker, the last place we tracked down was this Sanjiang Teahouse. At that time, several veteran policemen under my command entered the Sanjiang Tea House to investigate, but they didn't expect that the Sanjiang Tea House actually had a secret passage, so that the target could escape. If it weren't for the arrogance of the target, who stayed where he was after putting on makeup, we wouldn't have caught him so easily. With Xie Laohan's confession, Tang Cheng went to Zhang Jianghe, and he tried to persuade Zhang Jianghe to launch an investigation into the Sanjiang Teahouse.
Although I know that in a place like Sanjiang Teahouse, there must be someone behind it, but there are some things that cannot be avoided, especially that Sanjiang Teahouse has participated in the hidden operation of the Japanese intelligence agency. "The background of the Sanjiang teahouse, I have sent someone to check, and I know it so far, this teahouse should have a robe background, and it is likely to be the prefix of righteousness." Tang Cheng had very little information about the Sanjiang Teahouse, and what he said to Zhang Jianghe just now was all from the mouths of his old policemen.
"This matter must not be rushed, it needs to be cautious!" Chongqing City is full of robe brothers, and Zhang Jianghe, as the deputy stationmaster, has a much more detailed understanding of the forces of the robe brothers in the city than Tang Cheng. Although Zhang Jianghe also knew that with the successive development of counter-espionage work, the intelligence department would inevitably clash with the forces of the robe brother in the city, but now, it is not a good time for him to clash with the robe forces in the city.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'm just going to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Sanjiang Teahouse first, especially this person named Qian Tong." Qian Tong is the person behind Xie Laohan's confession, and it is said that this person is the second shopkeeper of Sanjiang Teahouse, but the old policemen under Tang Cheng have not seen this person. A person who is accustomed to hiding behind the scenes, in Tang Cheng's cognition, should be a person who is good at strategy, in other words, this person is a person who is good at using intrigue and trickery.
Zhang Jianghe didn't say anything to stop Tang Cheng, after all, he was still the deputy director of Chongqing Station, even if Tang Cheng didn't end well, it was a big deal to come forward, and he didn't believe that those robe buddies dared to really tear their faces with the intelligence department. It was late at night, and Luo Sihai, Wang Xiang, and Xie Laohan had already finished their interrogation, but Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe were still waiting, waiting for Wang Mazi and the Zhang family brothers to confess.
Wang Mazi and the Zhang brothers were not actually involved in the incident of Japanese spies, but Tang Cheng and Zhang Jianghe ignored these, especially after learning that Wang Mazi and the Zhang brothers had joined forces to sell tobacco for several years, and there was no reason for the two to let Wang Mazi and the Zhang brothers go. Tang Cheng was pulled by Zhang Jianghe to play chess, and the third game of chess had just been arranged, and Zhang Jiang and his subordinates finally sent a thick stack of interrogation records.
Thinking about Wang Mazi and the Zhang brothers, they should have been well taken care of by the torturers, and the three of them hated to explain the fact that they peeked at the widow's bath when they were children. After briefly looking at the interrogation records, Zhang Jianghe was immediately overjoyed, and Zhang Jianghe, who had been stretched thin because of the activity funds, finally found a solution. In fact, Zhang Jianghe's worries, in Tang Cheng's opinion, are completely unnecessary, after all, Wang Bingzhang's side will continue to send a steady stream of benefits from the bandits.
"Uncle, it's better to apply to the Nanjing headquarters as soon as possible and apply for manpower over there! The man who was in the teahouse was not making trouble, and the commander of a certain Japanese intelligence team might be involved in many clues if he was arrested. Tang Cheng's words interrupted Zhang Jianghe's reverie, Tang Cheng didn't say it explicitly, but Zhang Jianghe already understood what Tang Cheng meant. Zhang Jianghe is still nominally the deputy head of the Chongqing station, but in fact he has already started a new business, but he only has operational manpower under his hands, and there are no telecommunications, interrogation, and logistics stalls.
Chongqing station started with the stationmaster Xu Zifeng, from top to bottom showed that he was unwilling to participate with Zhang Jianghe, if he wanted to be valued by the above, Zhang Jianghe must seize the time to completely make up for his shortcomings. "Ignore all of this, what about the shoemaker you caught? You can't just keep it up and leave it alone, what if it's a big fish? Zhang Jianghe had his own plan in his heart, so he diverted the topic at the right time, and Tang Cheng did not continue to ask.
"I'll rest for a while, and I'll go meet the man!" Tang Cheng had long wanted to interrogate Sanben Xinyi, who was disguised as a shoemaker, but this was Zhang Jianghe's place, and Tang Cheng didn't want to be too anxious, so as not to be said behind his back that he was Xuanbin the master. Zhang Jianghe did not doubt Tang Cheng, let alone feel surprised by Tang Cheng's rhetoric, and Zhang Jianghe still knew the truth of slow work and meticulous work.
