Chapter 872: 873 interrogation
Chapter 872873 Interrogation
"Have everyone been brought back?" The Datang intelligence officer who took off his gloves and threw them on the table nearby asked with concern after glancing at the man sitting there drinking tea and rushing back to the southern part of the empire. .
The light here is not very bright. The walls are made of large stones. The place where the torch was originally was now converted into a lighting lamp.
When it was still the land of Chu State, this was a dungeon where criminals were imprisoned. Those who could be imprisoned here were the unlucky ones who had offended the powerful.
After the Tang Empire occupied this place, it was renovated: all the prison doors were replaced with steel ones, and some rooms were soundproofed.
The officer sitting there drinking tea nodded and motioned for the other party to sit down and have a drink: "We brought them all back, by land or train, very safe. The helicopter troops withdrew directly without stopping."
He introduced all the points of interest to the other party in one breath, so that the other party could shut up and enjoy the tea. Even though we were in a dungeon, I had to say that the tea tasted quite good.
Chu State is a mountainous area that naturally produces tea. It has to be said that the quality of Chu State's tea is much better than the tea produced locally in the Tang Empire, so it is very popular among tea lovers in the Tang Dynasty.
during
“The tea is really good.” The intelligence officer put down the tea cup and couldn’t help but admired.
“Take some back with you when you leave.” The officer who sat there interrogating the prisoner all night said generously.
The intelligence officer was not pretentious. He nodded and continued to ask: "How is it? After working for so long, is the interrogation clear?"
There was a hint of fatigue in the man's voice: "People are interrogated overnight. Only one mastermind knows more, and the rest are a group of brainless fools who follow their dreams."
Just kidding, since the Tang Empire Security Bureau started from the Silver Fox Tavern, there is no answer that cannot be asked - after so many years, they have learned a lot of tricks from His Majesty, how can they not be able to deal with a few petty thieves?
He didn't even take out the "Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty", "Military Notes on Torture by the Gendarmerie", or "Yang Yongxin's Five Lightning Whips". The other party basically recalled everything in his life in detail and explained everything. .
“What’s the result?” the intelligence officer continued to ask.
"I know that the leader of this group of people is an old noble from Chu State. He had already run away when we went to arrest him, but we still found some clues." The man answered directly: "This person is already wanted in Chu State, but You also know what kind of virtue there is, and the possibility of catching him is slim."
When he spoke, he despised the state of Chu State's management and looked down on Chu State's intelligence agencies, not believing that they could accomplish anything decent.
Frankly speaking, just like the intelligence agencies of the Tang Empire infiltrating other countries, Chu State is almost a sieve.
He would not be surprised if there was intelligence proving that a foreign intelligence agency had stolen a Butcher fighter jet from the Chu military.
It is simply impossible to expect the Chu people who are just waiting to die to catch the fugitives: at best, they can just pretend and then go back to the office to read the newspaper.
After scorning his colleagues, the man continued: "He burned some things, but most of the information is still there. The Chu State was very cooperative, and the approximately 4 million gold coins that the nobleman secretly hid were intercepted. ”
It turns out that the Chu State's intelligence agency is not as bad as he imagined, or that the Jinka team they found to develop offline is not very good, and it is a good match for the Chu State's intelligence personnel.
Anyway, after a final struggle, the Chu State, with the help of personnel from the Datang Group, successfully traced many properties under the name of the escaped nobleman.
Hearing this number, the intelligence officer was slightly shocked: "Four million? It's quite a lot."
Even though they have seen a lot of ups and downs, and there are millions and tens of millions of gold coins in Datang Group's accounts, this does not mean that the inflation of the entire world has reached such an alarming level.
On the contrary, among other consortiums and forces except Datang Group, hundreds of thousands or millions of gold coins are already a considerable amount.
In fact, in many large-scale transactions, one hundred thousand gold coins is still enough to be described as a huge sum of money. It is not easy for many companies, enterprises and even individuals to obtain one thousand gold coins. This time, 4 million gold coins were traced, which is definitely not a small number - no matter what the other party is planning, the loss is definitely not small.
The man in charge of the torture nodded and added: "Leave 2 million to the Chu State... You didn't see it. Those guys almost cried when they saw the money. They really didn't expect that we are so particular about doing things."
The intelligence officer laughed: "It's better to be more polite, and they will be more cooperative next time."
This time the special forces of the Tang Empire were operating in the Chu State, and the commotion they caused was quite big. There were helicopters and people shooting and killing people in the street. There was a lot of help from the Chu State to wipe their butts.
If you only cause trouble for the other party but do not provide any benefits to the other party, then this kind of cooperation will never last long. You need to show some sincerity from time to time so that the other party can continue to cooperate willingly.
“There’s no need for a next time. I heard that when the accountants who assisted in recovering stolen goods came back, they promised to notify us as soon as possible if they encounter similar cases again.” The man in charge of the interrogation laughed.
"Let's go, take me to see. I don't believe that a Chu noble can be worth 4 million. If he can't explain it clearly, this matter can't be revealed." The intelligence officer stood up and said.
The man in charge of the interrogation also stood up and led the intelligence officer to an iron door. The guards helped open the iron door, and there was a half-dead man hanging on a wooden shelf inside.
"I told you everything! I told you everything I know! Please... don't, don't..." Seeing that the man who had interrogated him before came back, the man hanging on the wooden frame shouted in a crying voice, while shouting While still struggling with all his strength.
Satisfied with this reaction, the intelligence officer walked up to the injured man, raised his head slightly and looked into his eyes: "Do you know where Count Zeng Jian's funds come from? Tell me everything you know. Come out and avoid the pain of your flesh.”
"I don't know...I really don't know..." The man shook his head painfully, then seemed to remember something, and subconsciously looked to the other side: "Don't! Please! Don't!"
The officer in charge of the interrogation has taken off the whip from the wall and stretched his muscles: "I will help you recall your memories. Relax! Don't be nervous!"
He walked to the hanging man, and the intelligence officer had already made room for him. The next scenes started to become cruel and bloody.
With the crisp sound of the whip hitting the flesh one after another, the man hanging on the wooden frame let out a scream like a slaughtering pig.
"Ah! Ah!" The intelligence officer listened to the other party's cries and howls, waiting for a result with some boredom. It's possible that the other party really doesn't know anything, or it's possible that the other party will tell you what he knows.
As for the other party knowing something but not explaining it, the intelligence officer thinks it is unlikely: a short-term cooperative relationship cannot build enough loyalty, and people who lack faith will not persist for too long.
Sure enough, when the man in charge of the interrogation went to find the red-hot iron, the hanging man finally gave in: "I remember! I remembered! He said 'Southeastern Clothing'! He once told me While chatting, I mentioned a company called Southeast Clothing! Stop it, stop it!"
“This is tantamount to not saying... In our country of Datang and Chu, there are not only 300 but also 200 companies called Southeast Clothing. If we had checked one after another, the people would have run away.” The man in charge of the interrogation said very dissatisfied.
"Not necessarily." The intelligence officer seemed to have thought of something and said: "We can check it from the remittance side and launder the money? It's not that easy!"
They have been tracking such unidentified funds recently. Combined with the name of the company Southeast Clothing, it is easy to target the other party.
"Without further delay, let's apply for field service again..." He turned around and walked out very quickly: "I'll get the tea leaves next time. It's more important."
The man in charge of the interrogation put the soldering iron back into the stove, walked back and kicked the hanging man again: "You bitch! You tell the truth every time you hold the soldering iron! Do you think you are cheap?"
