Chapter 45: Intricacies
"How did you even catch the tobacco dealer?" Zhang Jianghe, who was waiting in the barracks, saw that Tang Cheng had captured so many people, and two of them were tobacco dealers, so he was angry for no reason. Seeing this, Tang Cheng just lowered his head and was silent, there were other people around him at the moment, and the reason for this, Tang Cheng really had no way to explain it to Zhang Jianghe in detail. Tang Cheng was silent, and after Zhang Jianghe reprimanded a few words, there was no follow-up.
Several people stood quietly outside the interrogation room, listening to the movement in the interrogation room through the hole in the iron door of the interrogation room. The whip whistled through the air, followed by the sound of the whip falling on the flesh, and finally a muffled shout. The air diffusing from the interrogation room gradually smelled of blood, and compared with Tang Cheng, who bowed his head and smoked, Zhang Jianghe's expression remained the same.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door to the interrogation room opened from the inside, and a shirtless torturer came out. "Stationmaster, the one inside has been recruited, they came to Chongqing this time, brought 500 catties of tobacco and some groceries, and wanted to make friends with the robe brother with the word Yi through Wang Mazi, and then exchange this batch of tobacco for arms and equipment." The five big and three rough torturers seemed to be very organized when they spoke, but Tang Cheng could hear that he should not have said all the words just now.
What Tang Cheng could think of, Zhang Jianghe naturally could, secretly glanced at the torturer, and Zhang Jianghe raised his legs and entered the interrogation room. Tang Cheng, who knew in his heart, did not follow in, but went straight to the interrogation room at the other end of the corridor with a cigarette in his mouth, where Wang Mazi was being held. The Zhang brothers were just whipped with a leather whip, Wang Mazi was much worse in comparison, and when Tang Cheng entered, he was just in time for Wang Mazi's head to be pressed into the basin.
Wang Mazi, who has been pressed his head into the basin several times in a row, has already lost his bloody nature because of pampering, and has already been tossed ****. Wang Mazi, whose head was immersed in the water, could hold on at first, but after just a dozen breaths, Wang Mazi struggled violently. "What the hell do you want? If I can do it, I'll do it all! Wang Mazi, who was struggling back and forth on the edge of suffocation, was finally pulled up from the basin, and only regained his strength slightly, Wang Mazi shouted regardless of the scream.
Tang Cheng laughed when he heard this, and then motioned to the two people standing by the basin to pull up Wang Mazi, who was sitting on the ground. "Wang Mazi, these two people, you should know each other, right? Can you tell me about them? Tang Cheng sat down in the chair in front of Wang Mazi, slowly stretched out his right hand, and two photos appeared in Wang Mazi's sight. There are two photos, one is Luo Sihai, and the other is the secret prostitute named Wang Xiang, both of whom are acquaintances of Wang Mazi.
Luo Sihai didn't have anything yet, but Wang Xiang's photo made Wang Mazi's face instantly pale, and Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the changes in Wang Mazi's expression, secretly tilted the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart that this Wang Mazi was really not scared! "Sir, I don't know what you're talking about! I know Luo Sihai, but this woman looks familiar, but she can't name it. "The ghost makes the god worse, Wang Mazi actually lied in front of Tang Cheng, he still has the last fantasy in his heart, but he doesn't know that Wang Xiang is also being imprisoned here at the moment.
"Wang Mazi, you are not honest! I often hear people say that those who know the times are handsome, and those of you who are so-called people in the rivers and lakes should know this sentence even more. Since I can take out the photo, it means that I already know the identity of the woman in the photo and the relationship with you, if I were you, I should say it all at this time, and I shouldn't still have illusions about telling me lies. Tang Cheng put the photo in his hand on the table, then slowly got up and stood up, and slowly swayed to Wang Mazi's side and stopped.
"I'll tell you the truth, you opened a tobacco shop to sell tobacco, and these things had nothing to do with us. The real reason why we arrested you is because of Luo Sihai and this woman, I want to know, why did you send this woman to Luo Sanmei's gouache shop to work? Also, who is that shoemaker? What is the relationship between you and him? Tang Cheng was obviously a little tired of this kind of gentle inquiry, so he simply clarified the purpose directly with Wang Mazi.
Tang Cheng's series of questions made Wang Mazi secretly frightened, he didn't expect that Tang Cheng had already known about the fact that he had arranged for someone to sneak into the gouache shop, and that the shoemaker had also been known to the other party. Wang Mazi looked up at Tang Cheng, his eyes were full of struggle, obviously thinking about what choice he should make. "Wang Mazi, Luo Sihai and Wang Xiang are also here, do you want me to arrange for you to meet them?"
Tang Cheng's words made the last bit of persistence in Wang Mazi's heart collapse instantly, and at this moment he suddenly found out where his mistake was, since the other party can take out the photos of Luo Sihai and Wang Xiang, it is definitely not untargeted. But when I was dizzy just now, I didn't think about it deeply, and now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it. "What? Still don't want to say? Looking at Wang Mazi, whose expression couldn't help but change, Tang Cheng's tone immediately became a little more stern.
Wang Mazi is not one of those intelligence spies who has received strict training, and after being taken care of by Tang Cheng, he was completely honest, not only confessed the tobacco and soil transaction between himself and the Zhang brothers, but also told the story of Toro Sihai introducing Wang Xiang to work. "I'm not actually familiar with that Wang Xiang, it was Xie Laohan from Dongjie Buzhuang who asked me to help, and promised me the benefits of 50 years of the ocean."
"The shoemaker, Xie Laohan only said that it was a distant relative, and asked Wang Xiang to temporarily help store the tools for repairing shoes, just to help the relatives. I didn't think about it that much at the time, anyway, there were 50 yuan of benefits in the ocean, and besides, my relationship with Luo Sihai was not bad, so I didn't refuse. Wang Mazi's words are full of loopholes, but Tang Cheng doesn't care, he just needs to figure out the relationship between Wang Mazi and Wang Xiang.
"Dongjie cloth shop Xie Laohan, arrest it immediately!" Lao Fu and the others soon got Tang Cheng's warrant, and this new Xie Laohan has become a new target for arrest. "Uncle, look, I said that you have to put a long line to catch a big fish. It's like digging potatoes in the ground, and if you work slowly along the roots, you will be able to plane a bunch of potatoes. Tang Cheng, who got Wang Mazi's confession, was very proud in front of Zhang Jianghe, and carefully calculated, through the line of the Black Vine Sutra, Tang Cheng already had a number of clues in his hands.
"Don't be too happy, this Xie Laohan may not be related to the Japanese, everything is possible before people confess." Zhang Jianghe seemed to be very impatient with Tang Cheng's smug face. "What's more, you can't conclude that this Xie Laohan and the shoemaker are accomplices just by relying on one Wang Xiang. What if this Xie Laohan, like Wang Mazi, is just entrusted by others? ”
"Then just arrest people!" In the face of Zhang Jianghe's doubts, Tang Cheng was very calm. "There is no doubt that the cobbler is 100 percent a Japanese agent. If Xie Laohan was just entrusted by others, he could have gone to Luo Sihai for help by himself, why would he rather spend money to find Wang Mazi to transfer his hand more? A guy who makes a living by repairing shoes would trust a person who has never lived in his life to casually hand over his tools to others for safekeeping? ”
"Uncle, you are used to complicating problems, in fact, as long as you think about it a little bit, it is not difficult to see that this Xie Laohan is a problem. Even the woman named Wang Xiang is not simple, after the people on this line are arrested, we can slowly interrogate these guys, I don't believe that I won't be able to ask the reason when the time comes. Tang Cheng's attitude was extremely resolute, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Jiang and his subordinates didn't have a good interrogator, he wouldn't have to wait so anxiously.
In the early hours of the morning, the short and fat Xie Laohan was taken out of the bed by Lao Fu and them, and there was a young woman who was brought back with him. "Captain, I looked for an old guy from the former police station to find this guy's residence. When he was caught, there was still this woman on the bed, but strangely, the two slept in the same bed, but the bedding was separate. Lao Fu whispered in Tang Cheng's ear.
This woman didn't say a word, Xie Laohan said that this woman was mute, but Lao Jiu said that this woman might be pretending to be dumb. I also felt that there was a problem, but I couldn't say what the problem was, so I brought this woman back. Tang Cheng stood at the door of the interrogation room, looking at the young woman who was captured by Lao Fu and them without saying a word, and like Lao Fu, Tang Cheng also felt that there was something wrong with this young woman.
"Well done, there's something wrong with this woman!" Tang Cheng turned around and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it to Lao Fu. "Ordinary people come to this place, and they can't stand on their feet when they should be scared, but when you look at this woman, you can't see a panicked look on her face at all. And if you look at her standing posture, she looks like a practiced, an old man like Xie Laohan, how could such a woman be willing to follow him. ”
Tang Cheng's words sounded general, but as long as he listened carefully, he had already pointed out the suspiciousness of the woman. The short and fat Xie Laohan was pulled into the interrogation room, and he was shocked to pee his pants, and the torturer whipped him over, and Xie Laohan, who was crying for his father and mother, said everything, and his oral supply should be said to be the easiest to get. It's just that after Tang Cheng read his confession, his face, which was originally smiling, was instantly full of coldness.
After reading the confession, Zhang Jianghe realized that Xie Laohan, who dared to love, regarded himself and others as an anti-smuggling team investigating the smuggling of goods, and the content of the confession had nothing to do with Wang Xiang and the shoemaker. "He wants to avoid the truth and make a false appearance, which shows that this person is either really innocent, or there is a big problem." Zhang Jianghe's analysis hit the nail on the head, and at the same time pointed out the direction of in-depth investigation for Tang Cheng.
