Chapter 170: Appearance (Part II)
Four haggard, anxious men were escorted up in handcuffs. Liu Zezhi looked at them, and saw that the four of them were about the same height, age, fat and thin, and hairstyles, and they were all wearing the most common white shirts.
Tian Chengxi's gloomy gaze swept over the four of them one by one, and several of them were a little uncomfortable under the heavy pressure, some coughed for no reason, some twisted their fingers, and some shook their bodies involuntarily. Tian Chengxi sneered: "I warn you: don't take chances anymore!" You don't know what kind of place this is, do you? I'll give the four of you one more chance to say who Guo Xuan's accomplices are! Don't think that if you don't tell me, I won't be able to find you! It's a big deal that the four of them will be sent to the execution ground together! ”
Liu Zezhi added: "This is the torture room of No. 76, you can take a look at these torture instruments, and the dead will have to speak when they arrive here!" I advise you to be aware of current affairs, know how to advance and retreat, and don't force us to be rude. What do you think? Figured it out? ”
One of the men standing on the far left coughed twice and said, "What are you doing here?" I just went to the dock to look for someone, and I was caught here for no reason, from 8 a.m. to now, for more than 12 hours, I have not been given a sip of water, and I am not allowed to contact my family. Is there a legal basis for you to do this? It's a bandit ......."
Before the man could finish speaking, a thug on the side gave him a few heavy slaps, and the man was knocked to the ground, and the thug rushed up and kicked him a few times, moaning in pain, bleeding from his mouth and nose, coughing fiercely a few times, and spitting out two teeth.
Tian Chengxi smiled coldly: "How do you feel?" I'll give you another chance, and say it one by one, if you dare to hide it, don't blame me for being too heavy-handed with these brothers. ”
The man who was knocked to the ground struggled to get up, but failed several times. Liu Zezhi motioned for the thug to help him. Tian Chengxi looked at the famous man and said, "Let's start with you." ”
The man spat out a few mouthfuls of blood foam and said: "My name is Zheng Zhichao, I went to the dock to send people, and after sending people off, I wanted to take a shortcut to the station, but I was arrested by you for some reason." You've asked several times, but I don't know any pots and bowls. I beg you to let me go, you really misunderstood, my uncle is ......"
Tian Chengxi interrupted him with a sneer: "I'm not interested in who your uncle is. I don't know? Okay, come on, put him on the tiger bench! ”
Liu Zezhi is very strange, how can there be four suspects present and tortured together? Kill a hundred to make an example? It's not right, if the agents of the military command are really among these four people, they are so frightened that they confess because they see other people being tortured? Is there such a psychological element zhì that is not as good as an agent of ordinary people? This person claimed to be Zheng Zhichao, and according to his information, his uncle was Vice Minister He of the Ministry of Finance. Tian Chengxi took him under the knife, is it appropriate?
The two thugs dragged Zheng Zhichao, who was crying and grabbing the ground, three times and two times, and skillfully tied the tiger chair. At this moment, the phone in the torture room rang, it was an internal phone, and it was only at this time that Liu Zezhi found that the phone that was originally placed on the presiding judge's table had been moved to a high table near the edge of the tiger chair for some reason. Tian Chengxi motioned for Liu Zezhi to answer.
Liu Zezhi got up and picked up the phone, and Hirakawa Shinno's voice came out very clearly: "Secretary Liu?" I'm Hirakawa Shinno, are you Captain Wada interrogating the four suspects? Is there one of those four people named Zheng Zhichao? His uncle called Director Li and assured him that there was no problem. Director Li asked me to tell you to review it, and if you don't find any problems, let them go. After speaking, without waiting for Liu Zezhi's reply, Hirakawa Xinye hung up the phone.
It is normal for Zheng Zhichao's uncle to find No. 76, and he happened to find it during the interrogation, which is really a coincidence. Why is this phone so loud? Liu Zezhi always felt that something was wrong. Zheng Zhichao, who was tied to the tiger chair, obviously also heard the scales and half-claws, and secretly glanced at Liu Ze, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his frightened eyes.
Tian Chengxi opened the silver-plated cigarette case, took out a cigarette, and asked, "Who called?" Is there something wrong? ”
Liu Ze was stunned, Tian Chengxi, what's wrong? How could anyone ask such a question in front of a suspect being interrogated if they made such a common-sense mistake? Before the interrogation began, Tian Chengxi said that he was going to act in a scene, could it be ...... Liu Zezhi figured it out, but who is this scene for? I should just be a supporting role who doesn't know the truth, who is the audience?
He deliberately frowned, and whispered, "You be quiet." It was Pingchuan Shinno who called, and he said that Zheng Zhichao's uncle, Vice Minister He, found Director Li and guaranteed that Zheng Zhichao was fine. The director said to review it, and let it go if there is no problem. ”
Tian Chengxi's face changed slightly, and his voice was neither high nor low: "Vice Minister He is looking for Director Li?" No way, I've blocked the news. How did the news get out? ”
You Hanbo, who was serving as a record on the side, had a sudden change in his face, and quickly got up and muttered, "Captain...... I, what is that, he said that he was afraid that his family would worry, so he begged me...... I'll just ......"
Tian Chengxi threw away the lighter in his hand with a snap, stood up, and looked at You Hanbo, You Hanbo involuntarily took two steps back: "Captain......"
Tian Chengxi slapped him twice, and You Hanbo was beaten and stumbled, almost falling to the ground. Tian Chengxi was furious, so he picked up an iron whip more than one meter long on the torture rack and whipped it over without a head or face. You Hanbo didn't dare to dodge, and begged for mercy while protecting his head: "Captain, I was wrong...... Damn it...... Captain, you are angry...... I only took one watch from him......"
Watching the play was almost over, Liu Zezhi was about to speak out to persuade him, and a team leader of the intelligence department hurriedly ran in and reported: "Captain Tian, Secretary Liu, our Director Ni asked me to tell you: I have caught the military commander agent who pretended to be Guo Xuan, and the spy codenamed No. 86 who is lurking in our interior also has clues......
Tian Chengxi glared at the visitor, and said sharply: "You are going back more and more on this errand, and you don't look at where you are, some of them are talking nonsense!" Come on, put You Hanbo in a confinement room! Remand in custody. Secretary Liu, let's take a look. ”
Back in the office of the captain of the action team, Liu Zezhi hurriedly spoke: "Captain Tian, why do I think it's wrong: before our interrogation started, Director Ni arrested someone?" Wasn't he attending a coordination meeting between the director and the two generals? Screening the military commander agents who pretended to be Guo Xuan and appeared at the Rising Sun Wharf, are you responsible, or is he responsible? Also, does that undercover agent really have a clue? ”
Tian Chengxi smiled, poured a cup of tea for Liu Zezhi, and said, "This is still brewed in the afternoon, you can make do with it." Of course, I am responsible for screening undercover agents, and the news that Ni Xin has caught someone is just a smoke bomb. Don't worry, let's take a break. Since the people have been caught, we also have to give He Cichang a face, and in two hours, we will release those four people. ”
"Put? Don't check it out? Haven't people caught it yet...... Oh, I see, you mean to put people out first, and then send people to monitor and track...... That's a good idea, but ...... Captain Tian, have you thought about it, our opponent is not an ordinary person, if someone really pretends to be Guo Xuan, then he is an agent of the military command. The most basic professionalism should still be possessed, just took a turn in the ghost gate of No. 76, according to convention, he should remain silent for a long time, right? ”
Tian Chengxi praised: "You can think of this, it's really mature." So I threw him a bait: Eighty-Six could be exposed. Zezhi, you think, this spy is our henchman, in other words, it is the biggest killer weapon of the military commander. The agent who pretended to be Guo Xuan could not be compared with him, and no matter how big the danger was, he could not stop him from reporting to Zhou Chengbin. ”
Liu Zezhi nodded first, thought about it and shook his head again: "Lao Tian, it's not me who raises the bar with you, I think your idea is unreliable." If it were me, I wouldn't have taken the risk, no matter how important the eighty-six is, my life is my own, there is only one. Pretending to be Guo Xuan, the task has been completed, and he finally escaped, so why take such a big risk? Maybe you will take your life again and lose a lot of money. Besides, No. 86 is in danger of being exposed, and others don't know about this information, that is, I pretended to be stupid and didn't report it to Zhou Chengbin, and the director really had an accident on No. 86, who can know that I didn't report it? I will not be held responsible for this. ”
Tian Chengxi let out a long sigh and said, "This is the normal idea of ordinary people, but it is not the idea of these people at the Shanghai Station of the Military Command. Ni Xin has a saying: They are upright gentlemen who promise a thousand gold. From Guo Xuan's risky rescue of Zhou Chengbin, to Chen Jinsong's fraudulent surrender, and then his absconding for the rest of his life, to Zhou Chengbin's refusal to ignore Zhai Yanmin and others as usual, and unexpectedly designed a prison robbery...... This one by one shows that what Ni Xin said is true. So I'm confident: Zhou Chengbin's subordinates don't have the kind of 'smart' people who ignore the overall situation and protect themselves as you said. Alas, this is the most terrifying thing about our opponents, and it is something we can take advantage of. ”
Liu Zezhi stopped talking. He couldn't help but admit in his heart that Tian Chengxi's judgment was right. There are chiefs like Zhou Chengbin, and comrades-in-arms like Guo Xuan and Chen Jinsong, what a blessing!
The top priority is how to prevent this comrade-in-arms, who doesn't even know his name, from falling into the trap? Not to mention whether he can find an opportunity to warn Zhou Chengbin in advance, even if he finds such an opportunity, as long as Zhou Chengbin sends someone to contact this person, then the result is the same as this person taking the initiative to contact Zhou Chengbin, and the identity of this person will also be exposed, and the person who is in the middle will be affected. It seems that there is only one way: try to identify who is the agent of the military commander, and remind him that he is already under the all-round surveillance of No. 76 before he contacts Zhou Chengbin. And the news that No. 86 is about to be exposed is actually just a bait that has nothing to offer.
But who is this man? If you accidentally lose all the games, if you make a mistake, not only will this person's life be at risk, but he will be tantamount to not recruiting himself and falling into the mouth of the tiger. The only way is to wait for Zhou Chengbin's news and tell him who is his own person. What can be done now is to fight for a position where you can engage with the four action groups without suspicion
