Section 36 Trial of Prisoners (1)
It was proposed that the prisoners should be thoroughly interrogated and screened, and that the situation on the ground should be obtained as much as possible from their mouths, which would be much more useful and quicker than the present time when the Executive Committee had to rely on the Intelligence Unit to obtain information from books. So Ran Yao got a new task: interrogating prisoners.
Although some people raised questions about the human rights of the captives, many people were obviously not interested in how to protect the human rights of the local natives, but were fully interested in how to torture the captives.
"I am a prisoner, and I am not a prisoner of torture." Ran Yao couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to repeatedly refuse all kinds of enthusiastic proposals from these people. However, there were so many prisoners, and the security team couldn't do all the work of its own, so he had to apply to the executive committee to seconded his two former colleagues with temporary ID cards to him.
Xiao Guo, who originally planned to show his skills in the battle, although he was also issued a rifle, but because of the wrong location, he didn't even put a shot, so it was his turn to clean up the battlefield. When he was depressed, a paper order transferred him to the security team. He was excited: finally he can do his old job again!
"Okay, Xiao Guo, from today onwards, you will be responsible for interrogating the prisoners, and tonight you will do a good job of the process and outline." Ran Yao stretched, "By the way, we also transferred Mu Min, you can match men and women, don't be tired of working." ”
"Team Leader Ran, this, she has a husband, and she works with me, isn't it ......" Xiao Guo euphemistically expressed the inappropriateness of the arrangement.
"You're still feudal enough, what's the matter, you want me to transfer the Yanma to you?" Ran Yao teased him, "Sarina's health is almost fine, but they haven't been appointed yet." It's not easy to do that. As he spoke, he took off his hat and brushed his hair, "By the way, Wu De will also cooperate with you, he is in charge of the captives, and he will receive those who have passed by your subordinates." ”
"No problem, I will definitely cooperate with Captain Wu's work!"
"No, you are cooperating with each other, not you cooperating with him," Ran Yao laughed hesitantly and patted him on the shoulder, "Comrade Xiao Guo, although you don't have a formal establishment yet, you are one of the few specialized talents in our security team......
Guo Yi came out of the office of the security team a little dizzy, his office is located by the river, the construction team is building a prisoner camp there, bulldozers and excavators are roaring to work, in the river, there is a group of naked bodies, the prisoners are bathing, Guo Yi has no interest in watching men take a bath, and is about to turn his head and walk away, but someone is chasing and running behind him:
"Guo, Guo-" It was Xue Ziliang who came, with a steel helmet on his head, "but I found you, I haven't seen you for two weeks." ”
"What's the matter?" Guo Yi was a little farther away from him, and he didn't want anyone to notice that he and ABC were talking.
"Guo, you help me find you, um, um-leader, it's called leader, let's talk about it, give me a different job" He looked at his worn gloves with a sad face, "I've been driving a tractor for two weeks." I'm an ATF! Professionals, you guys need it! ”
"I can't make the decision on this issue," Guo Yi looked around for a while, sure that no one was paying attention to them, "I myself have a temporary certificate, and I still speak for you?" ”
"God, weishenme, you all speak in one tone!" Xue Ziliang looked up to the sky and roared, "I can't be the master of this...... This is something to be studied...... Leaders are not available......"
Guo Yi originally wanted to send him away with a word, and quickly ran away to discuss work with Wu De and Mu Min, looking at this ABC's desperate look, he felt a little sorry for him, "Xue, you have to learn to be a Chinese now, understand?" You have to be patient to be the first Chinese," he poked Xue Ziliang's chest with his finger, "Patience, understand?" Do your job well, and the leader knows everything. ”
After saying this, he hurriedly left, as for whether Xue Ziliang could understand his words, that was another matter. Now it seems that the leadership trusts him more than foreigners, so he doesn't want his image to always be associated with Xue Ziliang and them.
The prisoners' camp was set up by the river, and a barbed wire fence was temporarily fenced off, and the prisoners set up their own shacks. The five captives that Wude had brought with him were now of great use, and seeing that more of his companions had arrived, they immediately realized that they would be reused. Therefore, in the whole arrangement, everyone did their best to show their fierceness and ability in front of Wude.
A tent was erected just outside the makeshift camp, and to enhance the intimidation effect, a large wooden mound was placed outside the tent, on which rested a giant medieval tomahawk from someone's collection, and it was specially contaminated with medical waste from the infirmary - the shiny axe was now stained with blood. Although this thing has never cut people, I still feel cold on the back of my neck when I see it.
Yu Eshui, who came up with this plan, originally wanted to set up a forest of spears outside the tent, poking a dead man's head at each gun, but everyone has been opposed - the psychological stimulation of this thing is too strong, I'm afraid that the first one who can't stand it is themselves.
At night, roaring bonfires were lit on both sides of the road leading from the tent to the camp. The mysterious and terrifying atmosphere terrified the captives, who were in fear of their fate, and when he was brought to the door and saw the bloodied axe, he almost immediately went limp.
The interrogation was carried out by two people together, Mu Min basically did not open his mouth during the interrogation, only made notes, and sometimes reminded Xiao Guo - it is the experience of interrogation, the female policeman who has worked in public security and criminal investigation for many years is naturally much more than Xiao Guo, who mainly invites people to drink tea, but now that a female pirate is interrogated, it seems that this group of Ming Dynasty people is a little too frightened, so she has to temporarily let her be relegated to the second place. The person in charge of the translation was Lin Xing, who learned Mandarin the most among the captives, and Xiong Buyou was also listening at the scene, so as not to sometimes make a mistake in the meaning.
Captive's name, address, age, occupation, family background, etc. The Internal Affairs Committee instructed the IT team to prepare a database of prisoners in the server, and only need to fill it in directly into the database.
Although the interrogation team created enough of a terrifying atmosphere, both Guo Yi and Mu Min quickly learned the inherent cunning of the Chinese peasantry, each of whom said that he was a poor peasant of three generations, with no tiles on the top and no place to stand on the bottom, and both had an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old son. made Guo Yi very puzzled - three generations of poor peasants were so popular back then?
As for names and addresses, it is impossible to judge in a mess - more than 100 people come from 80 or 90 villages. Obviously, there are many people who are hiding their true situation. Many of them rolled on the ground while they were captured, trying to cover themselves with mud, but the river stripped them of their disguise.
In other interrogation officials of this era, they are either unable to sort out the clues in this pile of Zhang San, Li, Siwang and Ermazi, or they are going to use corporal torture to obtain the truth, but for those who come from the institutions of the modern dictatorship, this is not a problem. It's easy to forget about making up lies on the fly.
……
"Gender?"
"Name?"
"Didn't you just say that your name is Zhao San, why did you change your surname? What the hell is it called?"
……
No matter how he swore that he had never said that his name was "Zhao San" before, the voice recorder would make him speechless. This little thing like hexology has caused many people to speak the truth in fear. Some continue their lies until they are exposed again, at which point he will be driven out and walk around the fire, and several men will watch him and not allow him to sleep and drive him in circles with spears until he himself is willing to tell the truth. Guo Yi knew that this kind of torture was more effective than any kind of torture, and one of the most determined people, after four consecutive lies were exposed, collapsed and died in a circle in the middle of the night, giving the captives a terrible warning.
Soon all the captives confessed everything they had, as well as everything they knew about others.
Most of them are indeed poor, but many of them are not really that poor. One-third of the captives came from a large village called Huangjiazhai, and the leader of the attack was Huang Shoutong, the regimental commander of Huangjiazhai.
Most of the captured villagers from Huangjiazhai are tenants and long-term workers, and some of them have a little land, and they also share some of the land of the Huang family. There are also fellow clansmen or relatives of the Huang family, who are either small landlords or yeoman farmers. This time when they came out to fight, in addition to the reward money given by the county, Huang Shoutong also promised to reduce their money and food this year if they won the war, and the whole family of the dead would be compensated.
Therefore, Huangjiazhai Xiangyong was particularly brave in this battle, and suffered the greatest casualties, according to one of the small leaders, in addition to the number of people who were laborers, more than half of the Xiangyong who came to attack died.
"What about Huang Shoutong?" Guo Yi hurriedly asked.
"I didn't see Huang Tuanzong," the leader said, "as soon as the deputy masters released the birds, the Tuan General dismounted and commanded, and then disappeared......"
Others come from all over the world, most of them long-term laborers sent by the master's family to make up the numbers, and some are destitute households, who have been sent to fight by the clan or village because they have "nothing to worry about" - that is, people who do not care if they die. Most of those who are reluctant to talk about their situation are small landlords, yeoman farmers and tenants who have some family business, and they are afraid that their families will be robbed or blackmailed by pirates. Many poor people are afraid of making things up.
From the captives, they learned a lot about the surrounding area, including the distribution of the villages, how many people there were in the villages, which were rich landlords, and which villages had sideline jobs or specialties. They all said it one by one, and some people said that they were willing to join the gang as pirates, and they could lead them to plunder the rich families in their village, as long as he was allowed to kill whoever he wanted.
The interrogation team carefully recorded the information he provided, and some people couldn't help themselves while talking, and they cried bitterly, and Lin Xing also shed tears when he listened.
"What are you talking about?" Guo Yi saw that he was all bitter and hateful, and asked Xiong Buyou.
"It's so miserable to say-" Xiong Buyou shook his head with a sympathetic look on his face, "These people who say they are willing to join the gang all have blood feuds." ”
"Let them talk about it carefully," Guo Yi suddenly became interested, and an idea came out of his mind, "Come one by one." ”
