Chapter 172: Extorting Confessions by Torture
Tan Jingting heard what Zhu Hongda meant, it was for him to torture Lu Yulin, which he didn't want to do, he didn't want to watch his brother being tortured, and he couldn't pass this level emotionally.
"Okay, I understand, stationmaster, but I think it's better to deal with communists like Lu Yulin."
"Director Tan, it takes time to attack the heart, but we can't afford it, I think it's better to use the most direct method, if Lu Yulin plays delaying tactics with us, then we will be fooled."
Zhu Hongda's worries are not unreasonable, and the most urgent thing for him at the moment is to arrest Xu Mingfeng and intercept the deployment of the Yangtze River defense forces and the battle plan carried by Xu Mingfeng, so that the communist army will not be supported by this information, and it will not be easy to cross the river. Therefore, only by letting Lu Yulin open his mouth as soon as possible and getting the exact time and place of Xu Mingfeng's arrival in Shanghai, can he arrest the person in charge of the Shanghai underground party in time. If Lu Yulin played delaying tactics with them, then even if Lu Yulin confessed to Xu Mingfeng at that time, but he missed the opportunity to arrest him, everything would be in vain.
"I still know this person, webmaster, can you give me some more time?"
"Then you can do it yourself."
Zhu Hongda hung up the phone, and Tan Jingting could hear Zhu Hongda's impatience. It seems that if you want to slowly influence Lu Yulin, time is not allowed, if it is really like what Zhu Hongda said, Lu Yulin played delaying tactics with him and let Xu Mingfeng go, then he really has an unshirkable responsibility.
So Tan Jingting returned to the interrogation room, this time his voice was no longer soft, and his face was no longer kind.
"Brother, I'll tell you the truth, the top side attaches great importance to you, and orders me to make you confess as soon as possible, and we don't go around in circles, let's hurry up, you know what we want to know. Tell me, when will Xu Mingfeng come to Shanghai? By land or by water? When are you going to meet? Where to meet? How to meet? What is the mission of his trip? Tan Jingting couldn't wait to know everything about Xu Mingfeng.
"I'm like you, I don't know anything." Lu Yulin was very simple and blocked the door directly.
"Brother, you are a little ignorant of current affairs, as Xu Mingfeng's military advisor, you don't know this? Didn't he come to Shanghai this time to connect with you? Do you really want to force me to do tricks against you? Tan Jingting saw Lu Yulin's resolute attitude, knowing that he would not easily reveal the information, so he had to start coercing Lu Yulin.
"You are the sword, I am the fish, this is your territory, of course you are in charge."
Lu Yulin raised his head and looked at Tan Jingting, making Tan Jingting feel like a man's back.
"Alright then, I'll teach you a lesson." Tan Jingting gritted his teeth, hoping that this lesson would make Lu Yulin retreat and turn back.
"Listen to me." Lu Yulin said lightly.
The lights in the interrogation room went out, and a slideshow appeared on the wall, showing the painful and distorted faces of the frightened tortured people as they were tortured, as well as photographs of various torture instruments.
"Anyone who has seen these pictures will be scared half to death nine times out of ten. There is no need to do anything, they all obediently confess. Tan Jingting said as he watched the change in the expression on Lu Yulin's face.
In the torture room of Watanabe, Lu Yulin has seen all kinds of torture instruments and tasted the taste of leather whips, and the heart-wrenching feeling still appears in nightmares from time to time, making him often wake up from his dreams in a cold sweat. At this time, the torture tools that Tan Jingting showed him were even more terrifying.
Lu Yulin felt that his palms were sweating, and he felt sick to his stomach in his heart, and there seemed to be something in his throat that was about to erupt. But he couldn't and didn't want Tan Jingting to be aware of the tension and panic in his heart, so he swallowed back what came to his throat. He took a deep breath and asked lightly, "Brother Tan is planning to go through all these things on me?" ”
Tan Jingting saw that although Lu Yulin's face was still very calm, but the Adam's apple moved a few times, knowing that these creepy pictures touched him, people with normal thinking would turn pale when they saw these photos, sweat like rain, and even tremble, Lu Yulin's reaction was extremely calm.
"Over again? What are you kidding, those strong men who are five big and three thick can't carry three or four, can you carry them all with a body like you? If you try all of these things, I guess you'll die seven or eight times. Therefore, I said Xiao Linzi, who knows the times as a handsome man, why make himself miserable? You and I are classmates, and they are good brothers, I don't want to use these things on you, brother, I am a few years older than you, and I don't dare to boast about anything else, I still know more than you about this truth. If you write a letter of repentance and tell me the list of the people in your organization, I'll keep you safe and you'll get a good sum of money. This is my brother's heartfelt words, just listen to your big brother Tan this time, okay? ”
Lu Yulin was silent.
Tan Jingting patted his head: "Hey, I forgot, you are Xiguan Dashao, you don't care about money, if you want to be an official, it's no problem, I can give you my position as director, how about it?" Brother, I do what I say. ”
"Brother Tan, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I don't recognize how you have become, how did you become so vulgar, all you think about all day long is to be promoted and make a fortune, I think that you and I were on the bloody battlefield back then, and my mind is full of smashing an old world and building a new country, and you can work hard for the interests of the nation and the country, and forget about death. And now, where have all your ideals, beliefs, pursuits, and missions gone? ”
"Don't mention these useless things to me, what ideals, beliefs, pursuits, missions, those are all fooling people, only power, money is real, how about it, brother, let's work together, as long as you tell everything you know, then you and I will be promoted and rich together."
Tan Jingting's donkey skills are exhausted, he knows that being promoted to become rich is too unattractive for Lu Yulin, but he has no other tricks at this time, so he can only lift these four words out.
"I'm afraid I'm going to shatter Brother Tan's dream of getting promoted and making a fortune. I'm sorry to disappoint you. ”
Sure enough, Lu Yulin scoffed at this and disdained it.
"You are just a tendon, too stubborn, really obsessed and incorrigible." Tan Jingting felt very annoyed with himself, there was no way to take Lu Yulin, why was this person so ironclad?
"Okay, Brother Tan, don't bother talking, take me to see and see." Lu Yulin stood up: "Otherwise, you won't be able to explain to the top." ”
Lu Yulin knew that Tan Jingting was in a dilemma: enter, torture him to extract a confession, although this is what Tan Jingting is unwilling to do, but he has to do it, otherwise he will give people a handle, saying that his position is unstable because of favoritism, and sympathizes with the Communist Party; retreated, Tan Jingting didn't get any useful confession, his hands were empty, and he couldn't explain to Zhu Hongda.
Tan Jingting sighed, pressed the bell, and Ah Qiang and Ah Long walked in.
"Take him and open his eyes." Tan Jingting sighed and said helplessly.
Lu Yulin was taken out of the interrogation room and walked towards the torture room. Tan Jingting hurriedly called Ah Qiang: "Ah Qiang, come here." ”
Ah Qiang stopped, turned around and came to Tan Jingting's side: "What does the director command?" ”
"It's a little measured in your hand, just scare and scare, don't be disabled, maybe he will still be your boss in the future, our colleague." Tan Jingting knew that Ah Qiang was notoriously ruthless, and the people he tortured were either dead or disabled, so he gave a special advice.
"Understood, Director." Cuong nodded.
At this time, the phone rang, and Tan Jingting muttered impatiently: "It's time to urge again." ”
Tan Jingting walked into the office inside and picked up the phone.
"Director Tan, has there been any progress?" Zhu Hongda asked.
"Stationmaster, it's in progress according to your instructions."
"Vice Minister Pang of the Ministry of National Defense is here with me, he is very interested in your crackdown on the underground party organization in Shanghai, and I want to know more about the process of your arrest of Lu Yulin, you can come over immediately."
"Okay, I'll come over and report the situation to Vice Minister Pang."
Tan Jingting hung up the phone, picked up his hat and coat, and walked towards the door, when suddenly he stopped, turned back again, and walked towards Ah Qiang.
"Ah Qiang, I'll go to the stationmaster, this old classmate of mine will be handed over to you, don't be too ruthless, don't be disabled." Tan Jingting was still not at ease, and took care of Ah Qiang again and again.
"Don't worry, Director, it's not the first day to do this job."
Lu Yulin was brought into the torture room, and was greeted by a room full of all kinds of torture instruments, the room was filled with a smell of blood and stench, from the moment he was arrested, he knew that he would experience this purgatory-like pain, but when this real scene was unfolded in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.
Death, he is not afraid, he has been walking on the line of life and death all these years, how many times have he brushed shoulders with death. He had conceived of many ways to die, and killing himself with a single shot or taking poison was what he thought was the most ideal way to die, and the last thing he wanted to experience was to be tortured to death by these torture instruments in front of him. However, it was not up to him to choose where he would end.
Of course, as long as he relents and reveals the organization's secrets and discernment, he can not only avoid torture, but also continue to survive, and even get Tan Jingting's so-called opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune. But betraying one's own beliefs, betraying others, and being an unfaithful and unrighteous person is sorry for the ancestors and ancestors of the Lu family, and shameless for the siblings of the compatriots, and it will also affect many comrades, which is related to dozens of lives, the survival of the underground organization in Shanghai, and even the base area in northern Jiangsu will be implicated. Therefore, he had no choice, maybe this was about to become the end of his life, but when he thought that he hadn't had time to meet Yurong and the children and say goodbye, there was a faint tingling feeling in his heart. And one of the things that made him most anxious was how to send out the few pieces of information that Shuyan had hidden, which was crucial information, and he had to try to get the information out anyway.
"Hang him up." Ah Qiang looked at Lu Yulin coldly.
Lu Yulin's thoughts were interrupted, and then the two thugs handcuffed Lu Yulin's hands to the iron rings connected to the two iron chains, and then the two thugs turned the handles on the walls on both sides, and the two iron chains were straightened, Lu Yulin's feet instantly left the ground, and were pulled to a stop about fifty centimeters from the ground.
"Brother Qiang, what whip do you use?" Aaron looked at the whips hanging on the wall and asked Cuong.
"Three." Cuong blurted out without thinking.
The No. 3 leather whip is the thickest cowhide leather whip, Aaron took off the No. 3 leather whip and threw it into a bucket to soak, the bucket was filled with concentrated salt water, and the prisoner was whipped with a whip dipped in concentrated salt water, which could increase the pain of the prisoner, and the irritation of the salt water on the wound was even more unbearable than the direct whip whipping, and the second could prevent the wound from suppurating and inflamed, because many prisoners did not die in the process of torture, but died of wound infection in the later stage.
Ah Long took the No. 3 leather whip out of the thick salt water and whipped it towards Lu Yulin's back, and with the sound of the whip in the air, Lu Yulin's white shirt suddenly left thick blood marks. The skin and flesh of the wound were stimulated by the salt water, and the pain made Lu Yulin's cold sweat flow, and the hands that were handcuffed to the iron ring opened and clenched, clenched and opened, he was trying his best to endure the pain caused by the whipping, and his body couldn't help shaking, and the two arms pulled the iron chain to jingle.
"Stop." Ah Qiang motioned for Ah Long to pause, walked to Lu Yulin's side, and looked up at Lu Yulin who was hanging in the air: "Brother Lu, I know that you and our Director Tan are old classmates, and they used to be good brothers, but you must also know the rules here, and you don't blame us for being ruthless." We don't want to embarrass you, as long as you are willing to provide your organization's stronghold, personnel list, and Xu Mingfeng's situation, everything is easy to say. ”
Lu Yulin's shoulders were numb, his back was sore and painful, and sweat was dripping and falling to the ground......
