A clean and tidy cell, in addition to the necessities of life such as beds, there is even a table and a few books, and in the corner, there is even a pot of spider plants neatly placed.

A man with glasses and a long shirt was sitting on a chair reading a book, and it was Gong Shucheng, the reporter in Tang Zong's mouth. He saw Tang Zong leading a person in, so he quickly stood up, greeted him attentively, and said with a sneer:

"Chief Tang, are you here? Who is this? ”

"This is Section Chief Fang," Tang Zong pointed at Geng Chaozhong, "I came here today to tell you that your opportunity to make meritorious service has arrived!" ”

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, Chief Tang, Section Chief Fang, and thank you to the party-state for giving me this opportunity! ”

Gong Shucheng's delicate and elegant face was full of charm, which made Geng Chaozhong can't help but think of a word:

Cynic.

"You're welcome," Tang Zong coughed slightly, obviously not very suitable for the role of this kind of interrogator, he glanced at Geng Chaozhong and said, "Section Chief Fang, do you have anything to ask?" ”

"I have read the case file, it is very clear," Geng Chaozhong shook his head with a smile, looked at Gong Shucheng and said: "Mr. Gong, I heard that you are a reporter of Yishi Daily in Nanjing?" ”

"Yes, yes, the contemptible people do a little chores in the newspaper office, and occasionally take some small jobs to subsidize the family, but I didn't expect to violate the national law, and now I am very ashamed, the contemptible people are willing to cooperate with the government and make meritorious contributions!" Gong Shucheng said with sincerity on his face.

"Yes, Mr. Gong is very knowledgeable about current affairs," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "Can you describe the appearance of that foreigner you met again?" ”

"Yes, thin, glasses, hooked nose and blue eyes, quite tall, yes, about the same as you," Gong Shucheng described the foreigner's appearance, "He told me that if I found the person in the photo, I could put a statement on the declaration, and he would come to my place to look for me." ”

"You've been in contact with him before?" Geng Chaozhong asked.

"Yes, he commissioned me to collect some military information before, I am a reporter, I have a lot of contact, I thought it was just something not very important, so I did it for him, but I really didn't know that these were state secrets!" Gong Shucheng said with a frustrated face.

"Put away your little thoughts, you know in your heart whether it is confidential or not," Geng Chaozhong sneered, "Seeing that Section Chief Tang is still polite to you, it is not difficult for me to be for you, from tomorrow, you will publish a statement in the newspaper, and then we will let you go home, can you do it?" ”

"Yes, surely," Gong Shucheng agreed repeatedly, "It's just that after someone catches me, will I come back here?" ”

"Then it's up to you to perform." Geng Chaozhong said with a straight face.

"Contemptible people must cooperate, must cooperate." Gong Shucheng agreed repeatedly, and a little joy flashed in his eyes.

"Gong Shucheng, I'm very interesting to you, I hope you are also interesting enough to me," Tang Zong next to him interjected, "After I catch someone, according to the promise, I will apply for a commutation of your sentence, and even medical treatment outside of prison is possible." But if you're not interesting enough, don't blame me for not saying anything wrong. ”

"Understand, understand, the contemptible people have always had great respect for Section Chief Tang." Gong Shucheng replied respectfully.

Geng Chaozhong was noncommittal, and then asked this Gong Shucheng a few questions, this Gong Shucheng deserved to be a reporter, and he gave it with his words, and the answer was like a stream, Geng Chaozhong nodded again and again when he listened, and after a while, he looked at Tang Zong and signaled that there was no problem.

"Section Chief Fang, what do you see?" Secretary Tang glanced at Geng Chaozhong.

"Go out and talk." Geng Chaozhong waved his hand.

The two walked outside the house, Geng Chaozhong groaned slightly, and said, "Secretary Tang, you haven't tortured this person?" ”

"No, this person is very honest, and he has not been sentenced yet, so he has all the tricks in one go, so he handed this person over to me." Tang Zong said.

"When did he tell him that he could contact that foreigner?" Geng Chaozhong asked.

"That's what I just explained in the morning." Tang Zong replied.

"Secretary Tang, have you thought about it, he is so honest, why didn't he explain it at the beginning?" Geng Chaozhong had a vague smile on his face.

"This ......." Tang Zong hesitated, "According to him, he was too scared to come in at the beginning and forgot." ”

"Do you believe it?" Geng Chaozhong asked.

"I don't believe it, but I think there is always a process, and he figured it out after I persuaded him, which is understandable." Tang Zong said.

"No," Geng Chaozhong shook his head again and again, "I saw it just now, although this person's demeanor is afraid, but his eyes are not chaotic at all, especially when he confesses the things he collected secrets before, he has no hesitation at all. What's more, this person has been to the military garrison many times before to collect intelligence in the name of interviews, so he must be a bold and careful person, how could he panic as soon as he arrived at the secret service, and give a clear explanation? ”

"You're saying he still has something to hide from us?" Tang Zong said in surprise.

"Secretary Tang, you don't know," Geng Chao said loyally and pleadingly, "The journalist profession is different from teachers and other literati and ink writers, although they also write things, but they are more in contact with society, these people are slippery, and they are three points more powerful than those gangsters!" There is a good saying, hooligans are not terrible, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated. Have you ever heard of this phrase? ”

"It's the first time I've heard of it today, but it seems to make sense," Tang Zong smiled awkwardly, "Then what do you mean, how to deal with this guy." ”

"Simple, break one of his legs first." Geng Chaozhong said lightly.

"What?" Tang Zong was stunned.

"Break one of his legs," Geng Chaozhong stressed again, "and the most likely reason why he showed such a cooperative attitude was that he wanted to escape." What is the Secret Service? If you don't die, you have to lose your skin, how can he not know that he is a reporter? I see, if you send him back, he will have to run away in the first place! ”

"Really?" Tang Zong obviously didn't believe it.

"Whether it's true or not, break one of his legs first, it doesn't matter what he thinks." Geng Chaozhong sneered.

"This ......." Tang Zong hesitated a little.

"Secretary Tang, I see that you have been a secretary for a long time, and you have forgotten what you do," Geng Chaozhong said with a smile, "There is a second sentence in the sentence I just said, do you want to hear it, Brother Tang?" ”

"What?" Tang Zong was a little confused by Geng Chaozhong.

"I'm not afraid that hooligans are educated, I'm afraid that cultural people will play hooligans!"

Geng Chaozhong laughed, picked up a wooden stick used for torture from the side, pushed the door and walked in.

After a while, there was a terrible scream from Gong Shucheng in the house, and then, Geng Chaozhong walked out with a wooden stick, put down the stick and clapped his hands and said:

"Alright, now you can fish with confidence!"

Tang Zong couldn't help but shudder, and now he understood the difference between himself and these colleagues who engaged in torture........
