Chapter 83: Alternative Coerced Confessions
Gao Jie moved a bench and sat under a square brick tower not far from the main hall of the Pufu Temple, while leisurely picking his teeth with a thin stick, while looking down at a big man in Tsing Yi who was kneeling in front of him.
This big man in green clothes is naturally the leader of the group of fake monks in the Pufu Temple, he ordered more than a dozen fierce and vicious subordinates to besiege Gao Jie and the three of them, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate, these guys with ordinary martial arts soon arrived at the ground, and even he himself was knocked out by Ji Longfeng's gun, and when he woke up, he was already kneeling here.
Gao Jie always thought that it was good to bask in the sun more, so he tied up the unconscious man in Tsing Yi, dragged him to an open place, and found a bench from the main hall, preparing to ask for a confession in this sunny place.
Yu Hongzhi took three fake monks who volunteered to survive and went to the kitchen of the temple to make a vegetarian meal. Gao Jie: They were so hungry that they couldn't care if the vegetarian food made by the three of them was as delicious as they desperately boasted, and they worked hard to clean up the food quickly.
After Ji Longfeng was full, he searched around the temple, and found more than 20 tied monks in a side hall with a closed gate, including the temple's presiding officer. After questioning, it was learned that half a month ago, a group of strongmen rushed into the temple at night, arrested them all, and locked them here, except for delivering a meal every day, no one paid attention to them. As for what happened outside during this time, and what happened to this group of strongmen occupying the temple, they had no idea.
Yu Hongzhi found a large number of goods in other side halls and wings, mainly food and medicine, as well as a small amount of gunpowder and metal and other goods.
Hearing about these discoveries, Gao Jie frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
Ji Longfeng, who was on the side, saw Gao Jie's appearance and asked suspiciously, "Little Orion, what do you mean by nodding?!"
Gao Jie didn't mind what Ji Longfeng called him, and said with a faint smile: "I'm not a fortune teller, how can I guess it?" It's just that according to the discovery of the two of you, I just have a little sign in my heart!"
Ji Longfeng snorted and said, "I haven't even figured it out yet, and you won't be smarter than me!"
Gao Jie arched his hand and said: "Of course, Young Master Ji is strong in martial arts, but he is extremely smart, he is definitely an immortal talent, I think there are few people in this world who can compare!"
Although Ji Longfeng's personality is perverse and violent, but like most people, his immunity to high hats is not very high, and when he heard Gao Jie's praise for himself, he also showed a smug smile on his face, and his evaluation of this handsome country boy was a little more positive.
Gao Jie continued: "Young Master Ji, with your intelligence and intelligence, you should know what kind of tower this tower is behind me, right?"
Ji Longfeng smiled, although he was a local, he had never been willing to come to this universal salvation temple, and he had no interest in the architecture of the temple, where would he know what this brick tower was called?
Gao Jie sighed lightly, pretending to regret and said, "I thought that Young Master Ji was more knowledgeable than me, a little hunter from a foreign country, but I didn't expect ......."
Ji Longfeng couldn't hold his face, and said angrily: "Such a broken tower, the ghost will know what the tower is, I don't know what's so strange!"
Gao Jie was dumbfounded and said: "Alas, don't be angry, Young Master Ji, I'm a foreigner, I've heard that this brick tower is very peculiar and famous, so I have this question, I hope Young Master Ji can give me a more detailed and thorough introduction, how would I have thought that you don't even know this bit of common sense, but I'm abrupt!"
Ji Longfeng was choked by Gao Jie, and said in a questioning tone: "You say you know the allusion to this tower, but I don't believe it, but you said to hear it!"
Gao Jie stood up from the bench, walked with his hands in a square step, and paced like an old pedant, and said: "This brick pagoda was originally called the Relic Pagoda, commonly known as the Yingying Tower. It is not only simple and spectacular in shape, but also famous for its peculiar structure and obvious echo effect. On the side of the tower, the stone is struck, and the tower will emit a crisp and pleasant "wow - " "wow - " toad cry, which is surprising again and again. According to Fang Zhizhong, it is called "the sound of the universal rescue toad", which is one of the eight scenic spots in Puzhou. Due to the advent of the "Legend of the West Chamber" in the previous dynasty, the reputation of this "universal Buddhist temple without fault" was famous, and the relics pagoda in the temple was also renamed "Yingying Tower". ”
This brick tower is really like Gao Jie said, quite famous, he and the Beijing Temple of Heaven echo wall, Henan Baolun Temple tower, Sichuan Tongnan County Buddha Temple in the "stone qin", and called China's existing four major echo buildings; and the Shaking Head Tower in Shan State of Myanmar, the Music Tower of Solnock in Hungary, the Incense Tower in Maraketh in Morocco, the Clock Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and are known as the six strange towers in the world.
Ji Longfeng saw that Gao Jie was speaking in an orderly and convincing manner, and he was surprised how this country boy looked like a knowledgeable and insightful person, he half-convinced and touched a round pebble from the ground, knocked on the brick tower a few times, and sure enough, he heard a "wow" sound from the tower, like the sound of a toad in a summer field. He threw away the cobblestone in his hand and stared back at Gao Jie, suddenly feeling impressed by him.
Gao Jie has always given Ji Longfeng the impression that he is a country boy with some adventures, and his martial arts are estimated to be good, but from the half-baked language he said along the way, it is certain that he has no culture and no knowledge! However, his conversation just now made Ji Longfeng have a trace of illusion, and he is now not only curious about Gao Jie, but also has inexplicable admiration and affection.
How did Ji Longfeng know that the big man in Tsing Yi who was kneeling on the ground was secretly crying out for him: "This cunning young man is cheating on you, how can he know so much, didn't he just ask from my mouth when you went to search everywhere!" However, as a prisoner, he still has the consciousness of a prisoner. I have seen Gao Jie's strong martial arts just now, how dare he report and expose it now except for secretly slandering himself? !
Gao Zhuo got the "follower" Ji Longfeng, plus the Five Organs Temple had been fed, and the depression in his heart had long disappeared, he turned to Ji Longfeng and said shamelessly: "Young Master Ji, I haven't read a book, my cultural foundation is thin, what I said is wrong, please advise!"
Ji Longfeng estimated that what Gao Jie said was true, how could he be cheeky to "advise"? He was also a smart person, and in a hurry, the topic changed and asked: "Gao Jie, have you asked what happened?"
Because he had a good impression of Gao Jie, Ji Longfeng's title for Gao Jie also changed from "Little Orion" to a big name.
Gao Jie shook his head and said, "This guy is very stubborn and refuses to speak!"
Ji Longfeng can be regarded as having found a target to vent at this time, he kicked on the back of the man in green clothes, and roared angrily: "Little thief, don't say it again, Young Master Ben is going to be polite!"
The man in Tsing Yi was over forty years old, but he was called a "thief" by Ji Longfeng, who was only twenty years old, he knew in his heart that Ji Longfeng was sprinkling his anger on Gao Jie, and he couldn't help but secretly despise it, muttering: "I was unhappy to be pitted, but I came to find my bad luck!"
Ji Longfeng's martial arts are strong, his ears are outstanding, he has already heard it clearly, and under the annoyance and anger, he even added an old fist, beating the big man in green clothes to roll on the ground.
This big man in green clothes can be the leader of this group of strongmen, he is very fierce, he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, but he stood up and did not say a word.
Gao Jie saw that Ji Longfeng would fight again, and this man was estimated to be finished, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't fight anymore, this is not a way!"
Ji Longfeng's anger did not subside, and he asked loudly: "If you don't beat him, how can he say it?!"
Gao Jie gently patted Ji Longfeng's back and said with a smile: "Young Master Ji is calm! In fact, there are many ways to extract confessions, and it is said that Jinyiwei has many means to make stubborn people confess. ”
He stopped, squatted down and stared at the eyes of the man in Tsing Yi who was covered with blood, and said softly: "I have also heard people say that there is a nation that is good on the surface, but in fact it is extremely vicious, and their methods of extorting confessions are even more miserable, which can make people regret coming to this world...... Alas, alas, I'm too kind to use those vicious means no matter what!"
Hearing the first half of the sentence, the big man in Tsing Yi trembled for a moment, and when he listened to the second half of the sentence, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
However, what he didn't expect was that Ji Longfeng also squatted down, stared at his eyes tightly, and asked Gao Jie curiously: "It's okay, you say it and listen to it, maybe I can do it?"
Gao Jie stood up, pretended to think deeply, and said slowly: "One of the methods seems to be called sitting on the tiger chair, which is to tie the person in a sitting position, then tie his thighs tightly to the bench, and then lift his calves, and add green bricks one by one below, whose function is to stretch the joint ligaments of the victim's legs and cause knee dislocation......"
Ji Longfeng raised his head and asked, "Why don't you tie it to your calf?"
Gao Jie muttered: "Because breaking the lower leg bone requires a lot of strength, the torturer will faint quickly, and the pain time is short, which does not meet the requirement of the torturer to torture the victim and save his own effort. ”
Ji Longfeng thought for a while, nodded and said, "Ruthless enough, violent enough, but I like it!"
The two of them were seriously discussing the technical details, but the big man in Tsing Yi on the ground was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and he seemed to feel a dull pain in his legs, and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.
Ji Longfeng pretended not to know the reaction of the man in Tsing Yi, and asked very studiously, "Then what are the new and interesting tricks?"
Gao Jie paced back and forth for a few steps, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said happily: "There is an easier method, which is called pouring chili water." ”
Ji Longfeng's face showed disappointment, and he said lightly: "It doesn't sound very powerful!"
Gao Jie waved his hand and said: "It's not as simple as you think, it is said that the victim's mouth is fixed first, and the soup made of dried chili powder is poured into the mouth, so that his throat and stomach are hot, and then his mouth is sealed, and the chili water is poured from the nose to the heart and lungs ......"
At this time, the man in Tsing Yi was already trembling like he was going crazy.
Ji Longfeng jumped up without waiting for Gao Jie to finish speaking, and shouted: "The day before yesterday, I was swimming in the small river, and I accidentally choked on the water into my lungs, and I was so uncomfortable that I died.
Gao Jie nodded approvingly: "Yes, I have also been choked by water, so I also feel that this method is so vicious...... By the way, there is a more vicious and powerful method......"
Before Gao Jie could finish speaking, the big man in green clothes on the ground suddenly struggled to sit up straight, with a holy light on his face, and said solemnly: "Two heroes, I have suddenly woken up! I want to expose those villains who deceived me and led me astray!"
