Episode 14 Xiuxiu's means

After the assault team returned, Xiang Xiaoqiang immediately organized manpower, and the three female captives quickly said everything, and the one who peed his pants among the three male captives also said everything. The other two have hard-mouthed mouths and have the courage to look at death as if they were home. Because the four people who have already said that their military ranks are relatively low, the situation they said is not helpful, and these two hard-mouthed people have higher military ranks and may know some information, so they ordered Xiaoqiang to be punished. Several agents of Dongchang pulled the two Soviet prisoners to a wooden house in the forest, which was far from the main residential area, and at least Zhu Yourong could not hear the screams.

The agents of the East Factory pressed the two captives to the floor, pinched their noses and poured cold water in the middle of the night, and when it was dawn, the two finally broke down and said everything.

But it is very disappointing that there are still no valuable clues in the things they confess. Obviously, the Soviet authorities attached great importance to the fourteen grids, and kept "where to transfer" a high secret. This whole airport people don't know.

Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't sleep all night, and he still stayed up in the morning, staring at blood-red eyes, smoking cigarettes, and pondering a large pile of confessions on the table. Qiu Yun and Xiuxiu didn't sleep well, they persuaded Xiang Xiaoqiang to sleep for a while, but they couldn't persuade them, so they had to take turns to sleep for a while. Now, like Zhu Yourong, they are sitting in the house and accompanying Xiang Xiaoqiang.

Xiang Xiaoqiang smoked a cigarette and read the confession, while urging the three ladies to go to sleep. He knew that none of the three of them had slept well that night. But none of them went.

"Okay......" Xiang Xiaoqiang held a cigarette and waved his hand, "Xiuxiu will stay and help me analyze the confession...... My brain is also very messy now, and I spend all my words reading. Rong Rong, Qiu Yun, you two go to sleep. If you want to accompany me, you have to take turns to accompany me, and it definitely can't be together, isn't it? ”

In normal times, Xiang Xiaoqiang, regardless of whether he made a mistake or deliberately, said such ambiguous words, and the ladies must have blushed. But now, no one is in the mood, not even Xiang Xiaoqiang. Zhu Yourong and Qiu Yun looked at each other, Zhu Yourong sighed, took Qiu Yun's hand and sighed:

"Okay...... Xiuxiu, you can stay and watch it first. Qiuqiu, let's go and rest for a while. ”

Xiuxiu hurriedly agreed, got up to see off Zhu Yourong and Qiu Yun, and then came back to sit down. She rang the bell first, asked people to bring in a wooden basin of hot water, dismissed the maid, and then served Xiang Xiaoqiang with her own hands. Xiang Xiaoqiang stayed up all night, and now is the time when he is sleepy, and when his feet are hot, his whole body is suddenly comfortable and relaxed, and even his tense nerves are relaxed.

Xiuxiu stood up and said with a smile:

"Lord Wang, you are tired all night, and this night is quite cold, now soak your feet and relax...... Well, these confessions, I'll help you see them, you close your eyes, and nourish your spirits......"

Before she finished speaking, she saw that Xiang Xiaoqiang's head was already leaning against the soft backrest, his feet were stuck in the hot water, his eyes were closed, his mouth was half open, and he was snoring like thunder.

Xiuxiu smiled with satisfaction, then sat down at the table by herself, picked up a stack of confessions, and looked at them carefully.

……

Xiang Xiaoqiang slept until the afternoon, and woke up to find that he was in bed, having taken off his coat and shoes, covered with a thin quilt, and there was no one in the room. He scrambled to his feet, got dressed, picked up the bell on the table and shook it twice.

The orderlies came in.

"Where's Madame?"

After asking Xiaoqiang, he saw a cup of herbal tea on the table, which was probably prepared by Xiuxiu, so he picked it up and drank it.

orderly says:

"Lord, which lady do you ask?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang found that the confessions on the table were also missing, so he frowned and said:

"Mrs. Shang."

The orderly replied immediately:

"Madame Shang is interrogating the captives in the back. By the way, Mrs. Shang prepared lunch for the prince, and instructed the little one to wait for the prince to get up, and then serve the prince to eat. ”

Well, Xiuxiu is interrogating the captives, and she is really working hard. waved his hand to Xiaoqiang and said:

"Let's not pass the meal first, let's lead Gu to the back to have a look."

"Yes."

……

At a long distance from the interrogation room in the woods, Xiang Xiaoqiang heard a burst of wails coming from inside, accompanied by Xiuxiu's calm voice.

Xiang Xiaoqiang stepped forward quickly, stopped the guards' briefing with gestures, and just stood outside the door and listened.

Xiuxiu's voice inside asked calmly:

“…… How's that, do you remember? How much gasoline is in it? ”

Then there was a loud shout from the interpreter in Russian, accompanied by a muffled "bang", and then a wail. It is estimated that it is a beating.

Xiang Xiaoqiang took out a cigarette and smoked it, and continued to listen carefully. After listening for a while, he found that Xiuxiu's questioning was almost entirely focused on "gasoline". Obviously, the focus of her interest was how much gasoline the convoy escorting Fourteen Gege had taken with them when they left the airport. And the Soviet officer inside was obviously in charge of the convoy at the airport, so Xiuxiu stared at him and interrogated him, and he must be asked to tell every detail of the convoy and fuel. And the Soviet officer was beaten half to death, and under the punches and kicks, he struggled to recall, and the answer that Xiuxiu wanted became clearer and clearer.

After listening for a while, Xiang Xiaoqiang never heard the door. He couldn't help it, and stepped forward to push the door in.

The cabin was dark, and one of the Soviet officers was tied to a chair, beaten to the point of bloody face, tilting his head and snorting. Next to him, two big men of the Ming army, rolling up their sleeves and ready to beat people at any time. At a small table opposite, Xiuxiu was sitting in the back, looking down and writing something.

Seeing Xiang Xiaoqiang, several people shouted at the same time:

"Ah, Lord ......"

Xiuxiu also looked up at Xiang Xiaoqiang, and was about to exclaim, but she glanced at Xiaoqiang and called her out.

was bumped into by Xiang Xiaoqiang and saw that he was directly involved in the torture, Xiuxiu was very uneasy, for fear that her image in Xiang Xiaoqiang's mind would be damaged. But Xiang Xiaoqiang didn't care, he just asked in a whisper:

"How? Is there any progress? ”

Xiuxiu smiled and nodded, and whispered:

"Lord Wang, if I didn't expect it wrong, Sister Liaoyang has been transferred to Kanas Lake by them."

Xiang Xiaoqiang was surprised, this was really unexpected. He was stunned:

"What? Kanas Lake? Isn't that in the same place as Guangwu? ”

Xiuxiu smiled and said:

"Well, that's in one place. Lord, it's better to do this, we can combine two actions into one. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was also happy in his heart, but he still didn't dare to believe it. He originally thought that the Soviets, if not to transfer the 14 Gege to Moscow, would have to transfer her to the hinterland of some Central Asian confederation, making it difficult for the Ming army to rescue her. Now Xiuxiu said that it may have been transferred to Kanas Lake, so wouldn't it be more convenient to rescue?

Xiuxiu beckoned back, and the translator handed over the map. Xiuxiu took the map and explained to Xiang Xiaoqiang:

"Look, my lord, this is Kokterek, and from here there is a railway line 160 kilometers to the west, which is a branch line that leads north to the main line of the Trans-Siberian Railway. If you want to transport Sister Liaoyang to Moscow, you must rely on the Trans-Siberian Railway. But for a distance of 160 km, it is enough to fill up the car with gas, and there is no need to bring special gasoline at all. ”

"Oh!"

Xiang Xiaoqiang pinched his chin and nodded, he already understood the ** points.

Xiuxiu continued:

"I read the original confession, the Soviet officer mentioned that there was a truck in the convoy with several barrels of gasoline on it, so he ......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang took it and said:

"So you think, what do you have to do with oil drums for a distance of more than 100 kilometers, this is obviously a long way!"

Xiuxiu smiled:

"What the prince said is right, that's what I thought at the time. You see, 180 kilometers east of Kokoterek is Lake Kanas. At first glance the distance is about the same, but from Kokoterek to the railway line, all the way is plain, and the road is relatively straight. But from Kokoterek to Kanas Lake, most of the road is mountainous, and it is conceivable that the mountain road in the Altai Mountains must be very steep, constantly going uphill and downhill, and the mountain road will also be winding, far more than a straight line. This kind of road is very fuel-intensive. I asked a few experienced drivers of the car company to calculate how much gasoline would cost on this section of the mountain road from Korsakov to Kanas Lake. Several drivers said the same thing after the calculation. And the gasoline mentioned in the confession is almost exactly one and a half times the amount of gasoline needed. ”

"Oh!" Xiang Xiaoqiang pinched his chin, nodded slowly, and his eyes lit up, "This is an article...... Very good...... Very good......"
