617. Indirect cross-examination

Li Mingyang was handcuffed and shackled, and was taken into the interrogation room, sat in the interrogation chair, his feet were locked in iron rings on the ground, and he was shot in the wrist of his right hand. Li Mingyang sat expressionlessly, at this time his heart was like ashes, and he just wanted to die quickly.

The door to the interrogation room opened, and Kurata and his assistant walked into the interrogation room together, and after the two were seated, Kurata began to interrogate.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Tomohisa Kurata, and I am the head of Shinichi Miyazawa's task force, and I like to be straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush, so I don't want to talk too much, do you understand?" Kurata introduced himself in fluent Chinese.

Li Mingyang hung his head and said nothing.

Li Mingyang's attitude made Kurata feel very unhappy, but he ignored Li Mingyang's attitude for the time being, and directly began to ask questions.

"Name?"

Li Mingyang was indifferent.

"Name?" Kurata raised an octave in his voice and asked sharply.

Li Mingyang still lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Kurata walked down from behind the interrogation table, came to Li Mingyang, bent down, and looked directly at Li Mingyang: "Let me ask again, your name?" ”

Li Mingyang turned a deaf ear and remained the same.

Kurata raised his hand and slapped Li Mingyang left and right, causing Li Mingyang's eyes to be full of gold stars and the corners of his mouth to bleed, but he still didn't say a word, similar to a clay wood carving.

Kurada looked down and saw Li Mingyang's injured right wrist, smirked, and then reached out and pinched Li Mingyang's wound hard, a piercing pain made Li Mingyang snort twice, his eyes glared at Kurata, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

"Do you think I can't do anything about you if you don't speak? I have the means to get you to speak. ”

Kurata nodded to the thugs standing aside, and the two thugs walked up, opened Li Mingyang's shackles, and then dragged him into the torture room next to him, hung Li Mingyang's hands on the torture rack, and fixed his feet in the iron rings on the ground, and then picked up the leather whip and beckoned to Li Mingyang's body, the leather whip made a whistling sound in the air, and Li Mingyang's body was suddenly stained with blood.

Twenty minutes passed, Li Mingyang was covered in blood and passed out, but he never spit out a word.

Kurata propped up Li Mingyang's drooping head with his hand, and shook his head helplessly: "After you wake him up, continue to torture him until he speaks." ”

Kurata walked out of the torture chamber and returned to his office, his head propped up in his hands, feeling a little frustrated, although he had now caught a real anti-Japanese element, and this person was supposed to be a key person, but this person had never said a word, which made him feel a little at a loss as to what to do. If this person has not spoken, is he at an impasse?

Kurata rubbed his face with his hands, and went through those questions again in his mind, and then he took out a pen and paper from the drawer, and drew circles on the paper, on which were written the names of Liu Mingzhang, Li Mingyang, Yuanyuan, and the drugstore baby, and Kurata fell into deep thought.

Suddenly he remembered that more than ten days ago, they conducted a joint investigation with the Hong Kong police, and searched all the babies in Hong Kong to find the whereabouts of Kotaro, but in the end they found nothing. The urban area where the Leader Pharmacy is located is also within the scope of the key investigation, but no suspicious points were found at the beginning, perhaps the scope of the investigation was too large, the work was too much, too complicated, and the manpower was small, so it was done hastily and let these anti-Japanese elements get through the test in a fool's way.

Now, as long as the Hong Kong police officers who participated in the investigation at that time are called in for questioning, we can understand some basic information. So, Kurata immediately called the police headquarters and asked him to send the police officers who were involved in the investigation in the area of Lead's Pharmacy that day to the garrison headquarters.

After the fall of Hong Kong, the British authorities in Hong Kong bowed down, so when the chief of police received a call from Kurata, he immediately agreed. Immediately found Zhang Qiliang and other five policemen who participated in the investigation of the Leader Pharmacy that day.

The chief of police immediately sent a car to the Japanese headquarters in Hong Kong, and the Japanese soldiers sent the five policemen to the Kurata office.

Zhang Qiliang and the other five people were nervous in their hearts as soon as they walked into the garrison headquarters, they had already learned the arrogance and arrogance of the Japanese, and now they did not know what the Japanese were going to do, so they specially called the five of them here.

Kurata smiled and asked the five to sit down, but Zhang Qiliang and the five of them were all sincerely frightened and stood there.

"Okay, you can stand if you like!" Kurata shrugged his shoulders: "I invited you here to ask you a few questions. ”

"Okay, Taijun, if you have any questions, just ask, we must know everything, and we will say everything." Zhang Qiliang took the lead in expressing his position, and the other policemen also nodded and bent down in agreement.

Kurata nodded: "Very good, very good." ”

Kurata picked up the photo of Li Mingyang from the table and shook it in front of the five people: "This person, do you have any impressions?" ”

The five people stared at the photo carefully, thought about it, and nodded: "Yes, yes, there is an impression, we know this person, he should be the owner of the Leader Pharmacy." We just met him the other day. ”

"yes, we saw this guy when we went to investigate that baby the other day." Zhang Qiliang said affirmatively.

"Then tell me about the investigation at Lead's Pharmacy that day!" Kurata sat on the chair, crossed Jiro's legs, leaned back, and looked at the five people.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Qiliang nodded, and then recalled the situation that day: "After we arrived at the Leader Pharmacy, we checked the identity of the owner of the pharmacy, and I remember that this person is named Li Mingyang." ”

Kurata nodded: "Well, you have a good memory, so do you remember the others?" ”

"Well, I think about it, there were quite a few people in his store at that time, and I remember he told me that there were eleven people in the store, nine adults and two children."

"Nine adults and two children?" Kurata leaned forward and repeated.

Kurata immediately thought of the three guys who were killed in the explosion of Lead's Pharmacy, plus Li Mingyang, there were only four adults, how could there be nine adults? So who are the remaining five adults? And who will those two children be?

"Yes, yes, he said that in addition to his daughter, son-in-law and children, there were six guys in the store. We asked him at the time, why do you have to hire so many guys because your pharmacy is not very big? He replied that although their pharmacy was inconspicuous, it was still very busy with manpower, and it was very busy with the purchase and shipment, and it often had to deliver medicine to the surrounding patients, so he hired a few more guys. Zhang Qiliang recalled the scene and conversation at that time.

"Then have you checked those six guys and Li Mingyang's daughter and son-in-law?" Kurata hurriedly asked.
