This Chinese action gave Ji Zhian a different feeling.

It's so fast, it's too fast, from the investigation and questioning to the arrest of the person, it was only a few days, and he made a report on the matter, and before he could think about how to deal with it, the person was arrested here.

Now, even if they want to agree to his evacuation request, there is no chance. This arrest was very accurate.

There were five people in his group plus him, and this time two including him were arrested, and the two of them were not arrested for contact, but were singled out by the Chinese.

He and the group members met in prison, but they didn't dare to speak, and they didn't usually contact each other when they were in public, and they couldn't communicate at this time.

As for ruthlessness, let alone ruthlessness.

The questions asked by the Chinese are too targeted, and they are looking for them to lurk Japanese spies.

Since it is a Japanese spy, it is not a Chinese, there is no complete Chinese life history, and the Chinese are asking about the growth trajectory from childhood to there.

Including the relationship between the characters, the places they have lived, and so on.

They even ask what is the best food you have ever eaten, what old restaurants are most famous, and have you ever eaten them? If so, who is the shopkeeper and what are their characteristics.

People who don't have real life experience, even if they make it up, can't answer this kind of question. What's more, this kind of old store is easier to inquire about, make up nonsense, and it will soon be exposed.

Ji Zhi'an, like Jiang Weilun, has an extremely bad premonition in his heart, and he is likely to not be able to get out of this cell this time. Even if you can go out, it is as a Japanese, not a Chinese in disguise.

Loach and the others were all busy, verifying the questions they had explained.

It is indeed difficult to send people over to the enemy-occupied areas, but it is not difficult to verify what they have explained.

Many people from all over the country fled to Chongqing, and no matter how bad they were, they could call the agents of the military intelligence services lurking in various places and ask them to verify.

This time, it was the headquarters that handled the case, and the local authorities had to cooperate.

Localities don't need to go to the field to investigate, just find people who have lived in the places they have said, especially those who have lived for a long time, and it is easy to ask if what they say is true or false.

If you can't find where to say it, there's a 100% problem with that person. There was no illiterate person who was arrested this time.

Since he has a certain culture, and now he has come to Chongqing, either doing business or working, his life trajectory cannot be in a small mountain village where no one is around.

Beiping Special High School, Section Chief's Office.

Section Chief Furuhashi Toshimitsu frowned, and in the past few days, several bad news have come in a row, which makes him feel like a mountain rain is coming.

The Peiping Special High School is responsible for a wide range of areas, including intelligence work in southwest China. Xi'an, Chongqing, Chengdu, all belong to them.

After Chongqing was set up as the new capital of China, they increased their infiltration into Chongqing, and Chongqing was very important in the future.

But a few days ago, several sleeper agents reported that they had been cross-examined, and although they did not ask many questions, it was clear that they were suspected by the Chinese.

Fortunately, the people who came to inquire were the police, and according to their investigation, the police questioned quite a few people. There are more than 1,800 people in total, and they know it very accurately, more than many police officers know.

The head of the intelligence team, Sakai Hongzhao, stood in front of him and said softly, "Section Chief, it has been confirmed that six people including Sable and Langur have been arrested, including the two intelligence team leaders Sable and Langur."

Catching six agents at once is a great loss for them. "Has the situation been investigated recently?" Furuhashi asked.

"I just received a call back, some of the people who were arrested this time were released, I sent someone to take the risk to inquire, and they were asked in great detail after being arrested, all of them were about their past lives, including their connections, local experiences, etc., such a detailed inquiry, our people are likely to be screened out."

Sakai nodded slightly, he had checked part of the situation, but the situation was not optimistic.

The style of the Chinese agents suddenly changed drastically, and such an investigation caught them off guard

I didn't have time to deal with it. "Tell me more about what questions they've been asked."

"Yes....."

Sakai reported in detail, and the more he listened to Furuhashi Toshimitsu's face, the more ugly his face became, such a detailed investigation was not at all the style of Chinese agents they knew before.

"Who is the case handler?" Furuhashi Toshimitsu asked suddenly.

"The investigation has not yet been clarified, but the deputy director Wang Sheng is in charge of the police station, who was the head of the sub-bureau when he was in Nanjing, and was suddenly transferred to Chongqing before the war. This time, everything is closely related to him, I investigated his information in detail, and found out that he was Chu Lingyun's person as early as Wuhan, and it was Chu Lingyun who arranged for him to enter the police station in Nanjing."

"Chu Lingyun, isn't he in Shanghai?"

Furuhashi Toshimitsu immediately asked, he is not unfamiliar with the name Chu Lingyun, although he has not dealt with much, but the special high class has lost troops in the hands of this person, and Chu Lingyun has long been listed as the number one enemy.

The most important task of the Shanghai Special High School at present is to catch Chu Lingyun. "Section Chief, I suspect he's in Chongqing right now."

Sakai Hongzhao's investigation is very detailed, and the methods of the Chinese agents in Chongqing have suddenly changed drastically, and this sharp style is very similar to Chu Lingyun.

"So, our current opponent is Chu Lingyun?" "It should be him." Sakai Hiroshi replied.

"Check it out now, I don't want the right information, it's the right information."

Furuhashi Toshimitsu shouted, and Sakai Hongzhao stood up straight: "Yes, my subordinates will go to verify it immediately and confirm the identity of the opponent." Sakai knows that his own section manager is very strict, and everything must be confirmed.

Now it's just speculation, and it's obvious that it didn't satisfy the section manager.

After Sakai left, Furuhashi Toshimitsu looked down at the documents he had brought. Furuhashi Toshimitsu was really dissatisfied with this incident.

Six people were arrested, and he didn't even investigate who the real opponent was, and he thought that the Beiping Special High School was the strongest one in all the sub-station organizations, and it was definitely stronger than the Shanghai Special High School.

Look at the Shanghai special high school, not to mention the big losses, the head of the intelligence team and the head of the operation team have had accidents one after another, and even the section leader has been replaced. How can it be compared with them in Beiping.

After the war, he immediately increased the penetration of intelligence personnel, not only Chongqing, but also Taiyuan, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing and other places, all of which planted a large number of intelligence agents.

After Chongqing was designated as the capital, he once again stepped up the arrangement of the intelligence network.

These excellent agents provided them with a lot of useful information, including when they broke through Taiyuan, their special high class provided a lot of information to the military department.

Among these cities, Chongqing is particularly important.

It is the base camp of China in the future, the heart of China, and now the Wuhan war is underway, and Wuhan has not yet been defeated, but there is a problem on his side first.

The most excessive thing is that why there is a problem and whose hands it is, for several days, I have not been able to confirm it. If it weren't for the intelligence team leader Sakai Hongzhao being his confidant, he would probably remove this intelligence team leader.

"Team leader, after the first round of investigation, we released one hundred and thirty-five people, and three others were found to have lied." Two days later, the loach came to report to Chu Lingyun.

The loach's expression was obviously tired, this kind of large-scale investigation was the most tiring, and the loaches basically only slept four or five hours a day these days.

If it is hot today, the summer here in Chongqing is even hotter, and the loaches blow fans every day and fight at night. "What's the matter with these three people?"

Chu Lingyun didn't praise the loach, he was also very tired, and he also didn't get enough sleep.

Most of the members of the military intelligence department are still in Wuhan, where there is a big battle, and their tasks are heavier, and the number of people at the Chongqing headquarters is not large.

With limited manpower and such a big case to investigate, everyone is busy. Even the Chinese New Year has not been easy lately.

"The first one is called Jiang Weilun, his hometown is in Weihaiwei, but his accent is not the local dialect of Weihaiwei, he said that he has lived in Weihaiwei for six years, but the description of Weihaiwei is completely wrong except for the city wall."

Loach reported that Jiang Weilun was exposed, and a lie is a lie that cannot stand up to verification.

"Jiang Weilun's profession is a grain merchant, he came to Chongqing at the end of last year, and after he arrived, he opened this grain store, and the business is very good, because he is a foreigner, and the local ruffians have their eyes on him, and later he visited the dock of a local brother in a muddy water, and he made a lot of offerings and kept his business."

"How much did you offer?" Chu Lingyun immediately asked.

"According to our investigation, at least eighty percent of his monthly profits are given to ruffians and policemen, and he has very little."

For businessmen, making money is the most important purpose.

Earning ten yuan, eight yuan to others, the average businessman simply can't afford it.

Moreover, he is not doing a profiteering business, grain is indeed easy to sell, but it requires a lot of capital, Chongqing's population is increasing every day, food is a necessity of life, and no one can do without food.

But he was willing to share so much money with others?

This person has a strange nature, especially in line with some of the characteristics of their previous investigation of Japanese spies, the purpose of which is to lurk, and they don't care so much about how much money they can make.

"What about the people he comes into regular contact with?"

"Checked, his grain store is on Baoan Road, the security regiment is over there, he went through the road, sent food to the security regiment, the security regiment is now his biggest customer, for so long, it is estimated how many people there are in the security regiment, weapons and equipment and other situations have been figured out by him."

Loach replied that Jiang Weilun had paid a lot in order to win the business of providing food for the security group.

And he barely makes much money in the business of the security corps.

Coupled with other suspicions, Loach is now eighty percent sure that he is a Japanese spy. "What about the remaining two?"

Chu Lingyun didn't continue to ask, the loach found three, and this was the first one.

"The second one is called Ji Zhi'an, he came a little later, he arrived in Chongqing at the beginning of this year, he is educated, especially can repair some electrical appliances, opened a repair shop, he has many customers, including many departments, especially post and telecommunications, where many precision instruments will be repaired if there is a problem."

"These departments have their own repairmen, why are they looking for him?" Chu Lingyun frowned.

"The technical level of their repairmen is average, and they can't compare to Ji Zhi'an, especially Ji Zhi'an can repair electron tubes, which many technicians can't do."

"Did he fix the radio?" Chu Lingyun immediately asked. "Yes." The loach nodded.

"What about the third?" Chu Lingyun continued to ask, Ji Zhian was seriously suspicious, and he was even more harmful.

"Fang Wenqiang, twenty-nine years old, he said that he is from Beiping, he can speak Beiping, he described many situations in Beiping correctly, but he lied about his connections, the middle school teacher he said did not exist, and several other classmates did not match, the school he said was, but when he went to school, the school was not in the current location, but in the old campus."

Another suspect, especially the description of the school.

A person who can even say the wrong thing about the school he attended must be lying. "These three people are observing, and their homes will be searched immediately."

"Yes."

Loach is happy to accept his life, and the work of searching his house is dangerous, but it is his favorite thing to do. Loach personally led the team, and the first one to go was Ji Zhi'an's house.

Ji Zhi'an's suspicion is very big, and it is the most dangerous.

This kind of person who can repair electrical appliances is a master of making bombs at this time, and the bombs they arrange are more secretive, so they must be careful.

The loaches searched very carefully, and every place was checked, and they were personally watched, so that everyone did what he said.

"Captain Zhao, there is a situation."

Two hours later, the members of the team who searched the bedroom came to report that they had found a secret compartment on the roof of the bedroom. If there is a dark compartment, there is likely to be something in it.

"Don't move, tear down somewhere else, take your time."

The loach hurriedly ordered, the Japanese spies are very vicious, they often set up tricks and mines in the people who hide things, if they are careless, their own lives may be lost.

Slowly dismantling, he is not in a hurry.

After two hours, the loach was finally found and hidden

Radio stations in the dark compartment. Seeing the two bombs that were dismantled, the faces of the team members in charge turned white with fright.

This Japanese spy actually arranged two trick mines, and if he dismantled one of them and thought he was safe, he would be killed immediately.

And he used not grenades, but explosives.

This kind of treacherous thunder is even more powerful, let alone him, and everyone else in the room will suffer. "Where's the codebook?"

I was very happy to find a loach with a radio station, and after careful inspection, I found that there was only a radio station, and there was no code book. "Haven't found it yet."

"Keep looking, be careful, there may be a bomb in the codebook."

Loach ordered, with the radio, it was enough to prove Ji Zhi'an's problem, Ji Zhi'an was the first big fish they caught in this net.

A Japanese spy with a radio station is either a radio operator or a team leader.

Since Ji Zhi'an is so capable, it is very likely that he is the leader of the intelligence team.

It's a pity that the team leader didn't have enough time this time, and used the method of scaring the snake, if Ji Zhian was the team leader, once he was caught, his downline would definitely retreat.

This way it is impossible to catch their entire group completely.

Thinking of this, Loach smiled to himself, followed the team leader, and caught so many complete Japanese spy teams, and now he encountered the Japanese spy again, and if he didn't catch all of them, he felt very defeated.

Compared to other stations, or other groups, they have done the best.

Now they have no internal competitors at all, and only themselves can compare. "Captain, the codebook has been found, there's a bomb."

Soon, the loach received good news again and found the codebook, and there was a bomb next to the codebook, but it was only one layer.

The radio station and the code book are open, and three deceitful mines are arranged, which is a cautious person. In particular, the appearance of the code book completely confirmed the identity of his Japanese spy.

"Send the radio and codebook to the team leader, and the others will follow me to the next one."

Loach ordered, before the change, the radio and the code book were seized, he must go back first to ask for credit. If there are too many seizures, they don't care so much, and the loaches will go back after carefully searching all three houses.

Jiang Weilun's home soon had a harvest.

Jiang Weilun stayed in the grain store, searched for a pistol in the mezzanine of the shop's cabinet, and found a grenade and poison wrapped in a jar of grain.

He was so bold that he put poison in the grain.

If the poison leaks, he sells the grain, and I don't know how many people will be poisoned.

It's a pity that there is no radio station, and after a careful search, it was determined that there was nothing else, and the loach went to the third house non-stop.

Nothing was found in this house, no poison, no pistols and grenades, no radio stations and codebooks.

Fang Wenqiang has a major suspicion, and there is no harvest at home, which makes the loach a little puzzled. The loach was not in a hurry and led people to continue the investigation.

Fang Wenqiang lived in an ordinary house, and soon he found out an important situation, the neighbor next to Fang Wenqiang was unoccupied, and it was an empty house.

The loach immediately led people inside to search, and it didn't take long to find a pistol, poison, grenades, and most importantly, a radio station and a codebook were found here.

"No fox, no matter how cunning, is no match for a hunter."

Loach smiled, Fang Wenqiang was indeed cunning, the things were not placed in his own home, but next door, and the next door was used as a safe house.

He is very smart, but in the face of experienced old hunters, he is destined to be useless. With all the capture, the loaches rushed back to headquarters.

In the torture room, Chu Lingyun was waiting for him.

This time the loach made a lot of meritorious service, Chu Lingyun did not leave him alone in the interrogation, let him participate in the interrogation, and when the interrogation results are out, his merit will be even greater.

In the past, this credit did not have much effect on the loaches.

But now it's different, the military intelligence service is about to be upgraded, and everyone can go up in the future.

Others don't know, but Chu Lingyun knows very well that there will be more than a dozen lieutenant generals in the future military command, and there will be even more major generals. Give more meritorious service to the loaches, and have a chance

Fulfill his dream of being a general.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and Loach also wants to be a general, and it is definitely a good thing to glorify his ancestors if he really becomes a general.

"Team leader, Fang Wenqiang is cunning enough, but we still found him."

Loach entered the torture room with the radio station and code book, and when he saw him find another radio station, Chu Lingyun also smiled. The harvest of this net is much bigger than they imagined.

"Take Fang Wenqiang."

Chu Lingyun ordered, now that three Japanese spies have been found, which one of them will be the same first, Fang Wenqiang is the last to search, but since he has a radio station, he must be a big fish.

Fang Wenqiang was quickly brought over, and when he saw the familiar radio station on the table, his heart suddenly cooled.

He was exposed, and the radio station was searched.

He hid the radio next door and disguised it, and every time he needed to use it, he would climb over the wall to the next door and come back to cover up the traces.

How do the Chinese know?

This is a secret that only he knows, and he doesn't even know about his upline and downline. "Familiar with what's on the table, right? Tell who you really are, and you will suffer less."

Chu Lingyun asked, he was indeed familiar with the radio, but it was impossible for him to surrender with a word from the other party.

He is a highly trained elite agent, not to mention only seeing a radio, even if he is really caught by the other party, he will not surrender.

The bushido education they received since childhood did not allow them to be traitors. "Torture."

Chu Lingyun didn't talk nonsense, the whip was stained with salt water, and it was quickly whipped on Fang Wenqiang's body.

Fang Wenqiang gritted his teeth and tried not to let himself scream, he always thought that being punished and screaming was surrendering and a shame.

"Change the brazier."

Fang Wenqiang is so able to carry it, which shows that his value is not low, Chu Lingyun is very patient, these Japanese have hard bones, but there are not many people who can really survive the punishment.

"Ah.....h

The pain of burning the soles of his feet with red charcoal finally made Fang Wenqiang unable to support it and let out a miserable scream.

The first time was fine, the second time he could bear it, but with the scorching again and again, the feeling of his feet being roasted alive is really not something that people can bear.

These Chinese are so bad that they come up with such cruel methods. He screamed, but he still didn't confess.

All kinds of punishments were used once, and Fang Wenqiang was unconscious three times, and each time he was quickly woken up. Almost.

Chu Lingyun got up, took the code book, and walked to his side.

"Here's your codebook, look at it, if you don't confess, I'll heal you and make you better, and then continue this torture until you confess."

"You know very well about the electric chair, haven't you tried it yet? Later, you can try it, and you can think about whether you will confess or live in this kind of hell every day in the future."

This is Chu Lingyun's heart-attacking tactic.

If you don't confess, this pain will not be broken, and you will have to bear it forever. Finally, there is the big killer of the electric chair.

The pain of the electric chair almost didn't make Fang Wenqiang go crazy on the spot.

This kind of nerve irritation is really not something that humans can bear.

Under this kind of suffering, many people think about death, and death is 10,000 times better than this pain. "I, I said."

Fang Wenqiang trembled for only five minutes, and Fang Wenqiang lowered his head, but he was able to hold up the electric chair, and his performance in the Japanese spy was excellent after five minutes.

"Name, codename, position."

Chu Lingyun immediately asked, Fang Wenqiang didn't look up, and replied in a low voice: "Hiraga Nobuchi, the leader of the langur group of the Japanese special high school, my code name is the langur."

It's a team leader, and the loaches grin.

"Who are your teammates, and where are they lurking?"

Chu Lingyun immediately asked, it is unlikely that these team members can be caught, but what should be investigated still needs to be investigated. "I have four team members, ......"

The Japanese are very strange, when there is no confession, the mouth is as hard as a stone, but once

Break their psychological direction and make them surrender, they are again more honest than slaves, asking what to say.

"Chu Yuan, go arrest someone immediately."

When asked about the situation of the four people, Chu Lingyun immediately ordered that no matter whether they could be caught or not, they must be found first. "Yes."

Chu Yuan took the order and led people to leave quickly, while Chu Lingyun continued to ask Fang Wenqiang about the information he had reported.

The information of their group is all gathered to him, and then he reports it to the top in a unified manner, and these information are also the key.

"Who are you who rebel?"

Writing down all the information, Chu Lingyun continued to ask, and Fang Wenqiang immediately confessed the names of the six people, they had not been in Chongqing for a long time, and they had only rebelled against six people so far.

The six of them provided them with a lot of information.

These six people also have to be arrested, and the probability of catching them is very high, they are not Japanese, and the role is that now, the Japanese will not let them evacuate casually.

The task of arresting was also given to Chu Yuan, and he asked him to arrest these people by the way. "In Chongqing, do you know any other accomplices?"

"I don't know, we don't have horizontal contact, I don't know about other groups."

Fang Wenqiang shook his head, he really didn't know that this time he was exposed too quickly, without any mental preparation, he could support the punishment for so long, and it was also the support of the bushido education he had received before.

Now completely surrendered, it is absolutely to ask what to say, and there is nothing to hide. "Bring Ji Zhi'an over."

Chu Lingyun ordered, and the loach looked at Fang Wenqiang.

At this time, the doctor was treating Fang Wenqiang's wound, and the medicine was smeared with sulfonamide to prevent him from becoming infected and inflamed.

There is no shortage of sulfonamides in the military intelligence department, these Japanese spies can't let them die for the time being, they are still useful, and it is nothing to give them some sulfonamides.

The team leader wanted to interrogate Ji Zhi'an, but he didn't take Fang Wenqiang down, and the loach understood that the team leader was going to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. Let Ji Zhian see the tragic situation of his accomplice first, so that he can confess quickly.

The Japanese are not honest, and there are very few people who confess directly without punishment.

It's not that it didn't happen, the agent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was caught before, Risa Nakamura, took the initiative to confess without torture.

Ji Zhian was in the cell, watching more and more people being released, he never moved, and he was very anxious. No matter how anxious he was, he didn't dare to show his abnormality, he knew very well that not only would he expose any flaws immediately.

These Chinese are different from the opponents they have met before.

This time the opponents are very smart, this method is directly aimed at their flaws, they are disguised identities, no matter how reasonable the reasons are made up, they do not have the complete life trajectory before.

"Ji Zhi'an."

The four team members walked into the cell, and Ji Zhian immediately stood up.

The four of them stepped forward together and tied him by arm, having been locked in a cell before, but at least they could move freely, but they were not free.

This will be suddenly controlled, and Ji Zhi'an immediately had a bad premonition in his heart.

He didn't resist, not to mention that he couldn't beat four by himself, and even if he did, he couldn't escape, and there were still four people standing outside. Moreover, the four who came in did not bring any weapons, only ropes, indicating that they were very cautious and did not give him a chance to snatch weapons.

tied up, Ji Zhian was taken to the torture room.

When he came in, he saw the miserable Fang Wenqiang at first glance.

Fang Wenqiang is now in a semi-comatose state, and the doctor bandaged part of his wounds, and the part outside is very terrifying.

Especially the feet.

Red, swollen and bloody, and the soles of the feet have obviously turned into cooked meat, it looks extremely terrifying.

"Ji Zhi'an, let me introduce you, this is your accomplice, Shinchi Hiraga, codenamed langur, the leader of the langur team, you shouldn't have seen it, right?"

Chu Lingyun walked over and said to Ji Zhi'an, but Ji Zhi'an's heart trembled violently.

As a sleeper agent, he really hadn't met Shinchi Hiraga, but he knew the name langur that came later than him, but he did a good job.

The section chief told him before, let him learn from the langur,

Gather more useful intelligence. They don't know each other's true identities, only code names. "Torture."

Chu Lingyun didn't ask, and directly announced the punishment.

Ji Zhi'an saw the tragic situation of his companion and understood what he was going to suffer, this was the psychological pressure on him first, and when he couldn't hold on, he would crush his psychological direction in one fell swoop.

"Lingyun."

He Nian suddenly walked in from outside, he went out today and just came back. As a result, it was received that Chu Lingyun had seized two radio stations and confirmed the identity of the Japanese spy.

It's not been a few days, and the screening hasn't ended, so this is the Japanese spy?

is worthy of Chu Lingyun, the efficiency is really high.

Seeing that Chu Lingyun was being tortured, He Nian immediately shut up, and Chu Lingyun got up, gave up his position, and let He Nian sit in the middle of the interrogation table.

He Nian is his old leader, and he is also the leader of the future.

And from the very beginning, the New Year has given him great support, and he has no objection to such a leader. "This is the confession of Fang Wenqiang, codenamed langur, his real name is ......"

Chu Lingyun made a report to the New Year, but the torture did not stop, and Ji Zhian soon let out a miserable scream. Ji Zhi'an's performance is far inferior to Fang Wenqiang.

As soon as the brazier was halfway through, he couldn't hold it and was willing to confess. And this will be Chu Lingyun has not finished reporting.

"Name, codename, position."

Chu Lingyun stopped reporting, confession is more important, Ji Zhian is willing to confess, he must let him confess first, if it is delayed, it is very likely that there will be other moths.

This will be the time when he collapses, calm him down, and maybe it will take a lot of effort to get him to continue confessing. "Hisao Urada, codenamed Sable, is the leader of the Sable Team of the Peking Special High School."

Another team leader, the effect of this network is really good, and the net has not been checked to two team leaders. "Who are your downlines and where are they?"

Ji Zhi'an is the team leader, and now his downline is the most critical, first ask the downline to determine whether his downline is still there. "I have four downlines, and one of them was arrested with me this time.....

Ji Zhi'an honestly confessed, does this network still have his downline? It was a bonus, indeed. This downline was unlucky, and before he could be found, he was betrayed by his upline.

As for the remaining three, let the loaches go out to look for them, if they can catch them first, if they can't catch them slowly, if they really retreat, they can't do anything.

Time is limited, Chu Lingyun used the means of startling the snake, the real purpose is to first destroy the intelligence network established by the Japanese spies in Chongqing, and find out the people who were instigated by them.

The other most important reason is that the seat urgently needs such results to prove to the old man.

The military intelligence service is about to be upgraded, and with such achievements, others can be left with nothing to say.
