After repeating it several times, Wei Chiliang was still silent. Zhong Xin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, he put down the electric baton, carefully looked at the man in front of him who was tortured and weakened, and his inner guess was almost confirmed.

"You're an undercover agent sent by the police, right?" Zhong Xin said steadily, "No wonder I refuse to tell the truth when I die, my willpower is quite strong." ”

"I'm not." Wei Chiliang flatly denied it, but the panic and fear that flashed on his face made Zhong Xin even more convinced of this speculation.

After a pause, a victorious smile appeared on Zhong Xin's face. "I doubted this when I got the results of the DNA comparison, and through the trial and test, I was almost sure of the answer. If you're a police officer, a lot of things can be explained. First, you weren't caught by us, you were caught in the net. Second, you seem to know a lot about the underground prisons. Third, your skills are too good, the real Wei Chiliang is not as powerful as you. I admire your acting skills, you can play a perverted murderer so well, I really wonder what kind of person you are usually. ”

"Haha, I really underestimated you in the past." Hearing these words, the impostor Wei Chiliang laughed a few times, and his chest ached. He coughed violently, and a few drops of blood splattered out with the saliva in his mouth, leaving a trail on the concrete floor. "You're right, and I can't fool you now. Yes, I'm a police officer, but I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not undercover. ”

"Oh?" Zhong Xin suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said in disbelief, "I don't understand what you say." It's not an undercover agent, what are you doing in this kind of hellish place? ”

"Investigate the case."

"What's the case?"

"Disappearances. I had a friend who I couldn't get in touch with for a long time, so I followed the clues he left behind to find this place. I swear, I didn't know there was a prison here. ”

"You wait a minute." Zhong Xin was a little confused, feeling that the whole thing was developing in an unexpected direction. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, thinking to himself: although the person in front of him was not a real murderer, he was even more difficult to deal with than a real criminal. Who can guarantee that this guy is telling the truth now, and why should he believe it?

After a moment of silence, Zhong Xin grabbed the collar of the imposter Chi Liang and asked, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? ”

"Is it necessary to tell you?"

"Less nonsense, talk faster."

"My name is Gu Li, from the Criminal Police Detachment of R City." The impostor Wei Chiliang replied reluctantly.

"Your detachment leader's name is Qiao Sheng? Did he let you come? Zhong Xin asked eagerly.

Gu Yan glanced at Zhong Xin in confusion, not understanding how the other party could know Captain Qiao's name. Shaoqing, he shook his head and said, "I insisted on coming here to investigate, and it has nothing to do with Captain Qiao." ”

"How can this be......" Zhong Xin muttered to himself in a low voice, slowly letting go of Gu Li's collar. After a few seconds, he took out a key from his pocket and reached out to grab Gu Li's handcuffs. The latter, however, shrank back vigilantly and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I'll get you out of here first, and we'll talk in another place."

"Why?" Gu Yan looked at Zhong Xin in a daze and asked, "Won't you kill me?" ”

Zhong Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Don't worry, whether you are undercover or not, I will not kill you." As for whether to let you go, or to leave you here and die, I'll have to listen to your story before I decide. ”

"Why?" Gu Liao continued to ask. At this moment, Zhong Xin suddenly replied to him in an unusually serious tone: "I have been friends with Captain Qiao for many years, and I don't want to kill his people." ”

Gu Liao was stunned by this unexpected answer, and countless questions flashed through his mind in an instant:

How did he know Captain Joe? How did he know I was one of Captain Joe's men? He mentioned before that he had acquaintances in the Provincial Criminal Investigation Corps, and he asked a friend from the Physical Evidence Department to compare my DNA. Could it be that he is the undercover agent planted by the police in the organization?

Thinking of this, Gu Liao couldn't help but look at the man in front of him again. The man is tall and big, and the body is perfect. Although his appearance is not outstanding, he has a unique temperament. There is fortitude in his eyes, as if he has been trained on the battlefield for a long time. No matter how you look at it, it's much more reliable to let this person be an undercover agent than yourself.

However, Zhong Xin's words may not be credible. Although this person seems to be quite serious on the surface, he is quite insidious and cunning in his bones. I have been harmed by him to this miserable scene, and this time I must not take it lightly.

"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false." After thinking for a moment, Gu Liao said to Zhong Xin with distrust, "In case I go out with you, you turn around and hand me over to the people above to deal with, then it is better to shoot me now." ”

"Less nonsense." Zhong Xin didn't explain for himself, but just impatiently pulled Gu Li's arm, opened the handcuffs with a click, and then threw the key to the ground again, ordering, "Open the shackles yourself, move quickly." ”

Gu Yan was taken aback by Zhong Xin's momentum, and lost the ability to fight back for a while. He obediently picked up the key and unshackled it with a swift movement.

The feeling of freedom returned to his body at once. He barely stood up on the ground, and after a few movements, pain from all over his body rushed towards him. Zhong Xin wanted to come up and help him, but he blocked it, and said angrily: "Don't worry about it, I can go by myself." ”

The two of them walked out of the "interrogation room" one after the other, although almost no one passed by in the corridor in the middle of the night, Gu Liao still walked very carefully. Fortunately, he was wearing a guard's uniform, so even if he accidentally touched a patrolman, he could be temporarily confused, after all, no one could have thought that the person walking with Zhong Xin would be an escaped prisoner who was caught halfway.

Along the way, Gu Liao lowered his head to avoid the monitoring above his head, but the corner of his eye kept scanning the surrounding layout. Since the whole building is sunk dozens of meters underground, all the rooms do not need to be considered for lighting and ventilation, and the layout is very flexible, which also helps the designers to make this place a "labyrinth".

While the exit to the prison is easy for familiar people to find, this area is by no means a short time for prisoners who want to escape from it.

Passing through several criss-crossing corridors, Zhong Xin stopped at the door of a room numbered 4-031. Zhong Xin quickly opened the door and pushed Gu Liao in. The latter was not mentally prepared and almost fell. He stood firm against the wall at the entrance, and when he looked up, he found himself in a large, tidy room.

He looked around curiously, and suddenly he had the illusion of traveling back to the modern city. "Where is this?" He asked suspiciously, his eyes falling on a small bar not far from the entrance, "The conditions are good, and there is still wine to drink." ”

"This is where I live." Zhong Xin replied, then pointed to a chair by the bar and said, "You sit there and wait for me, I'll go find some gauze and potions, and treat your wounds briefly." ”

"No need." Gu Liao smiled and waved his hand, "This little injury is nothing, and it will be fine after a few days of rest." ”

"Okay." Zhong Xin no longer insisted, walked to the bar and sat down, and beckoned Gu Liao to say, "You can come and sit too, let's talk while drinking." After speaking, he opened two cans of German imported beer, pushed one of the cans in front of Gu Li, and said in a sincere tone: "There are no outsiders here, I hope you can answer me truthfully, are you an undercover agent sent by the police?" ”

Gu Liao picked up the beer can and drank a few sips, then breathed a long sigh of relief very enjoyably, and replied word by word: "I'm really not." ”

"Then tell me about the disappearance. You said you found here following a clue left by a friend, what kind of clue is that? What exactly does your friend do? ”

"It's not impossible to want to know about that. Tell me first, how did you and our captain meet? What did you do before? ”

"Me?" Zhong Xin laughed twice, and his expression instantly softened a lot. "Qiao Sheng and I were classmates in the police academy, and we lived in the same dormitory, so the relationship was so good that it could be described as wearing a pair of pants. After graduating, he got his wish and joined the criminal police team as an investigator. I was recruited into the SWAT team because of my physical fitness, fighting skills and other outstanding performances.

"Although we belong to different departments, we have also cooperated in many major cases in our subsequent work. But three years ago, ......" said this, Zhong Xin suddenly stopped. He thoughtfully lit a cigarette and handed one to Gu Liao by the way. The latter took the cigarette, hesitated, pinched it in his hand and did not move, and continued to listen to Zhong Xin tell about his experience.

"Three years ago, a criminal gang that trafficked human organs appeared in the city of R. They brutally removed all the organs of the victims that could be sold and burned the bodies of the victims. Because this case involved members of the underworld, it was difficult to solve the case, and the police arranged for two undercover agents to break into the enemy's interior. After two months of investigation, the police finally figured out the complete criminal chain of the gang and mastered substantial criminal evidence. But unfortunately, one of the undercover agents was brutally murdered by members of the gang because he revealed his identity.

"One night when the time was ripe for arrest, the criminal police detachment, armed police, and special police of R City simultaneously carried out a joint encirclement and suppression of the gang's criminal dens, the hiding place of the ringleader, and many other places. Initially, the work went very well, but during a search of one of the crime dens, the police accidentally discovered a location that they did not know beforehand. It was a bungalow with a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, which had been abandoned for many years. By the time the police arrived at the scene, the house was already on fire.

"According to the information that the police had at the time, there may have been a surviving victim in the house. At that time, the fire engine had not yet arrived, and the people present did not dare to act rashly, but one policeman risked his life and rushed into the smoke. In the room in the northwest corner, he saw a simple operating table, on which lay a boy who had just been anesthetized, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He didn't think much of it, picked up the boy and ran out.

The smoke choked on his eyes, and he ran a few steps and nearly tripped over the debris on the ground. At this moment, a figure emerged from the thick smoke, he thought it was a teammate who had come to support, and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt a chill in his abdomen. As soon as he reacted, a sharp scalpel had already been stabbed four or five times in his chest. By the light of the fire, he saw a distorted face grinning at him hideously. He recognized this person as the chief surgeon of the criminal gang.

Life passed through his body quickly, but he couldn't fall down yet, because he still had a boy on his back waiting to be saved. With the last of his strength, he pulled out his gun and shot the mad doctor, almost crawling out of the room, and finally passed out in the courtyard surrounded by flames......"

Later, firefighters rescued him and the boy from the flames and found the body of a man burned beyond recognition in a room in the northwest corner. After treatment, the boy quickly recovered, but the policeman was in a coma for a whole month and finally had to leave the SWAT team for physical reasons. Gu Liao completed this tragic story for Zhong Xin, and his eyes were full of reverence and regret.

"At the time of the case, I was just a recent graduate." Gu Liao said as he fiddled with the cigarette in his hand that was pinched and deformed, "Although I regret that I couldn't personally participate in the investigation of that case, I really admire the police who solved the case, especially the special police officer who rescued the victim from the operating table."

"Later, I learned that the SWAT was actually an undercover agent sent by the police, and that person accounted for at least half of the credit for the fact that the police were able to wipe out the criminal gang." Speaking of this, Gu Yan suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhong Xin with blazing eyes, and forcibly held back the excitement and excitement in his heart and asked, "That person is you, right?" ”

Zhong Xin smiled slightly, did not admit it, and did not deny it. He lit another cigarette, looked at the twisted cigarette roll in Gu Li's hand with a strange expression, and asked, "Don't you smoke?" ”

Gu Yan shook his head and said, "Quit it." I haven't touched anything since my father died of lung cancer. After being stunned for a few seconds, he returned to the previous topic, "By the way, after that case, you are not a police officer, right?" Well, you're here ......"

"What, you suspect I'm undercover?" Zhong Xin took a sip of beer and said teasingly, "You think too much, I don't want to do that kind of work anymore with my head pinned to the waistband of my pants." ”

"But you ......"

"Alright." Zhong Xin made a stop gesture, "Don't talk about me yet." Your kid is full of suspicions, let's explain it well, what's going on with the disappearance? What kind of clues led you to this place? Why are you pretending to be Yu Chiliang? What is the purpose of this? ”

Asked these questions again, Gu Liao suddenly became silent again. At this moment, he no longer has any hostility towards Zhong Xin, and it doesn't matter if he tells the truth. He frowned thoughtfully, "I want to think about where to start." Well, let's start with that phone call......"
