Chapter Forty-Eight: Lawrence in Action
There was a rumbling sound from the doorway, and the stone at the entrance of the cave was pushed open.
Lawrence hid the wood in his hand under the covers and pinned his head away. He knew that today's routine had started again.
It was Zheng Jun who came in.
"It's so nice to see it all in good condition again. Mr. Lawrence, today's event has begun again. Zheng Jun said seriously.
Lawrence had no choice but to get up slowly, he knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical. Now isn't the best time to run away either.
Because Zheng Jun's hand is not good, the rope here has been replaced with a rope ladder. Lawrence made his way down the rope ladder with difficulty.
He looked around, and sure enough, there was not a single soldier left in the camp. Every day before dawn, the soldiers here are led out for training. The only ones left were people with a special mission. For example, these intelligence officers in front of you.
Zheng Jun pointed to a flat boulder not far away.
Lawrence obediently sat up. The appetizers these days are done on top of this. What kind of dessert will you come back today?
He looked around and found Mao Liu standing aside with a dog, and the dog's eyes were crazy, as if he hadn't eaten for many days.
was pondering, Hu Si behind him pushed him.
"Lie down." Hu Si laughed.
Lawrence lay down gently and put his hands away.
"Press him down. Don't let him move. Mao Liu said, picking up a jar from his side. There was a hint of fragrance coming out of the jar, and I didn't know what was inside.
Lawrence pursed the corners of his lips and quietly let Zheng Jun and Hu Si hold down his body and feet. At the corner of his eyebrows, he saw that the hateful Li was playing with his spear and picking stones. The stone weighed a hundred pounds, but it did all kinds of dances under the instigation of the spear. Lee's hands were firmly on one end of the spear.
Although it wasn't the first time he had seen this crazy man, Lawrence still had a toothache. He had a friendly conversation with Liu Zhensheng, right down to the magic of Chinese martial arts, of course. He also knew that Liu Zhensheng was not Li's opponent at all.
So that's why he's so cooperative, provoking the enemy at will or running away without a plan is unlikely to succeed and doesn't fit the organization's teachings.
Looking at the stone that had suddenly been pierced by a spear with a small hole, Lawrence couldn't help but touch his body lightly. He didn't think his bones would be harder than the stone.
Suddenly, he felt as if his shoes had been taken off. A bad smell came from there.
"What's going on? Mr. Lawrence, you seem to have only taken a shower yesterday? Zheng Jun turned his head and frowned at Lawrence's head.
Lawrence's heart jumped: "I sweat a lot, don't you know?" This sentence is very particular, and often sweating is the explanation, don't you know? This sentence is a diversion of the subject. One of the basic common sense of psychology. The best way to get people to ignore suspicion is not to lie, but to change the subject. Because in order to fulfill the lie, you have to continue to tell N lies, and one of these lies will always go wrong.
Fortunately, Zheng Jun didn't ask much.
Mao Liu took out a brush and brushed it in the jar, and then re-brushed it on the soles of Lawrence's feet.
The soft bristles tickled Lawrence. He suddenly felt a little bad.
The soles of the feet were coated with something, cool and silky. After brushing the brush back and forth on the soles of both feet a few times, Mao Six put it back into the jar, and then he led the puppy that was trying to break free to Lawrence's feet.
The puppy had long been impatient, and at this time, he was no longer restrained, and immediately opened his mouth to bite down on the soles of Lawrence's feet. But he was slapped by Mao Liuyi. The puppy whines and sticks out his tongue to lick it.
Lawrence suddenly wanted to laugh, but he held back. I'm an elite intelligence officer for the British Empire's Naval Intelligence Department.
The puppy continued to lick, and Lawrence became more and more unbearable, and eventually he burst out laughing.
Brushing and licking non-stop, it took about half an hour. Lawrence finally had no strength to laugh.
"That's all for today." Zheng Jun let go of the restraints. "I want appetizers, and Lawrence should be satisfied, huh? Mr. Lawrence? ”
Mao Liu moved the puppy, and Hu Si also stood aside, he smiled hesitantly: "Maybe Mr. Lawrence still wants some red wine?" ”
After so many days of interrogation, Lawrence has been idling around his life in England.
So everyone knows about appetizers, pre-dinner snacks and red wine for dinners.
Lawrence didn't answer, and he didn't have much strength to answer.
"Get up, Mr. Lawrence, if you don't want to drink red wine, you'd better be able to cooperate a little today." Zheng Jun picked up a notebook and a pen from the stone on the side. This fountain pen was obtained from Shanghai by Li Jingmai, a young man. Zheng Jun was fortunate to get one from him.
Lawrence slowly got up helplessly. He got up slowly to regain a little strength, and he knew that there was still a meal waiting for him later.
"I would like to ask about the selection principles of your department. Lawrence, please tell us about it. Zheng Jun held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other. He was sitting on the rock, the notebook on his lap.
Mao Liu stood there holding the dog with an indifferent face, staring at him coldly. And Hu Si was squeezing his eyebrows there, he was already impatient. Li Shuwen was still practicing his gun there, and from time to time there was a loud noise.
"Generally, they are selected from the descendants of military personnel, and some are selected from schools, but not many." Lawrence mused.
"Why?" Zheng Jun asked while taking a quick record.
"Because the descendants of soldiers will have a greater sense of honor and dedication. And although students have a strong ability to gather intelligence, they are also easy to be bought. Lawrence explained simply.
"Let's talk more about the selection method." Lawrence was silent.
"Master Zheng, let me come." Hu Si was already eager to try.
"It's similar to the training of the army, but there are more cultural courses, such as psychology, mathematics, chemistry, etc. Psychology is about getting information more safely, while chemistry is about making agents and explosives in a simple environment when it matters most. Mathematics, physics, and so on can allow intelligence officers to think of ways to survive in desperate situations. And so on. Lawrence shuddered. This Hu Si is the most terrifying, and Lawrence really wishes he had never seen him.
"What else? Be specific. Zheng Jun said coldly.
"And, of course, tracking and how to quickly gain the trust of the target." Lawrence reluctantly said.
"Hu Si, I'll leave it to you." Zheng Jun sighed and recorded.
"I've said it all." Lawrence stood up and said angrily.
"I want to be more specific. Mr. Lawrence! Zheng Jun ignored it. threw a glance at Hu Si.
Hu Sihaha walked over with a smile and slapped Lawrence on the shoulder: "Mr. Lawrence, please lie down!" ”
