hours ago.

The secret office of Zhongtong, the Bamboo Ware Factory.

The small warehouse originally used to store bamboo utensils has been converted into several interrogation rooms. In the largest interrogation room, several shirtless Zhongtong spies are interrogating a suspect, with endless shouting and cursing.

"Tell me! Who gave you the document, are you an underground party!"

"I'm wronged, I'm the vice president of the Northeast National Salvation Association, not an underground party┴, please let me go!"

"Not honest, give him the electric chair."

The grim-faced Zhongtong spies put the subject of torture on the electric chair, and without shaving the other party's hair, they directly closed the electric switch. The lights in the room flickered on and off, and a burnt smell slowly wafted away.

In front of the one-way glass in the observation room, Xu Enzeng watched this scene with a smile, then slowly turned his head, his eyes swept across the faces of a group of torture observers in high-end clothes, and said lightly.

"Everyone, a few days ago, on a certain truck from Shancheng to Chang'an, we seized many important documents from the secret mezzanine, which were related to the Supreme National Defense Conference a few days ago.

Except for the driver who was arrested and shot dead, we caught three people on the spot. These three people have certain identities and are not ordinary people. You may have heard or seen them before.

One is Jiao Zhonghang, the management director of Zhengzhong Bookstore, the other is Zhou Yujun, the secretary-general of the Sino-French Birui Cultural Association, and the last one is Sun Qitai, the vice-chairman of the Eastern Association you saw.

I think it won't take long for him to confess, because no one can keep silent under the Zhongtong. If anyone wants to say something, please do so as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.

You are all the confidantes of the officers, and you have a bright future. You must not go all the way to the dark, risking the lives of yourself and your family, this is very dangerous. "

He said threatening words in his mouth, and he was extremely proud. Who would have thought that a wrong arrest operation could actually find out the leak case of the Supreme National Defense Council.

God finally opened his eyes, what if Mou Zhiye ran away, and what if the list of secret agents was lost.

As long as he can find out the eyeliner hidden in the high-level government, he can still be rewarded for his meritorious service, and he can still sit firmly in the position of deputy director. This time he will fight a beautiful turnaround!
Compared to Xu Enzeng's complacency, the onlookers were terrified. Some people couldn't bear the stench and burnt smell, ran out covering their mouths, and vomited outside the door.

As secretaries and clerks next to the chief, they usually attend high-level meetings or dinner parties. Where have they seen such bloody and barbaric scenes.

Only a few officers in military uniforms looked at the other side of the one-way glass blankly, their expressions were very calm, and some even lit cigarettes and looked lively.

These people are the personal guards of the big bosses of the Army Weihui. They are all elite soldiers selected from the army. They are used to death and blood, so naturally they don't care about the pediatrics in front of them. Fighting on the battlefield is harsher than torture. ten thousand times.

One of the officers watched for a long time, yawned lazily, looked at the unconscious Sun Qitai, and said slowly to Xu Enzeng.

"Deputy Director Xu, if you want to scare us, you may be disappointed. I and the brothers around me used to fight the Japanese for many days in Luodian in Shanghai, sleeping and eating on the corpse every day.

The tragedy of the situation is unimaginable for a person like you, so don't waste your time, just ask what you want to ask, all of you present are busy with business, and don't have time to watch you and your subordinates perform. "

If you want to say which battle was the most difficult in the Battle of Songhu, it must be the Battle of Luodian.

During the battle that lasted half a month, China and Japan invested a total of nearly 10 elite troops to fight fiercely in Luodian, a small town with an area of ​​only 2 square kilometers.

At the end of the war, the small Luodian was filled with corpses from the two armies, and there was no open space. The blood of the soldiers from both sides soaked the ground, and the rivers passing by turned a strange red.

After this battle, even the single-minded Japanese army couldn't bear such heavy casualties, and turned to seek breakthroughs elsewhere, which shows how bloody the scene was.

In that kind of place, the weak-willed would probably go mad within a short while. For those who can climb out of this kind of human purgatory, watching torture to extract confessions is really no different from watching civilized dramas.

When Xu Enzeng heard the officer's words, he smiled awkwardly. It doesn't matter if he doesn't smile. The people behind the other party and the committee members can wrestle with their wrists. He is a little deputy chief.

What's more, when these people were invited back, Minister Chen had already stated that he would never do anything without conclusive evidence. He wanted to scare the other party, but he didn't expect them to be afraid at all.

It seemed that we were going to get straight to the point. If this continued, the time would only drag on longer. Seeing that everyone was getting more and more irritable, Xu Enzeng straightened his face and raised his hand to pat.

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight. Shangfeng suspects that the leak is related to the underground party. It is impossible for the document to get on the truck bound for Chang'an for no reason. There must be dissidents among the people who attended the meeting that day, and they are among you. among."

Speaking of this, he squinted his eyes and paused word by word: "You all know the party-state's policy towards dissidents, and it has always been better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.

Although there are people behind you, but once we find out the problem, the one who misses you the most is your backstage. I think everyone has no objection to this point, right? "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present fell silent. Politics can be based on human feelings, but political struggle does not.

Official career is like sailing against the current. Even if you are in a high position, you have to walk on thin ice. Otherwise, if you are caught in the wrong place by your opponent, the ship will be destroyed if you are not careful.

In this case, not to mention cronies at work, even biological children, as long as they hinder their future, the officers will mercilessly kill them.

Seeing that everyone was shocked by his words, Xu Enzeng raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and chose to strike while the iron was hot, and then spoke soft words again.

"Do you know why I invited you here instead of directly arresting them? This is Shangfeng giving everyone a chance to repent. You must seize it.

I guarantee on my reputation that as long as the defectors confess their problems honestly and publicly publish their confessions, and assist the government in arresting dissidents, the past will be forgotten. "

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a promise. As for whether these words were true or false, he could tell the truth with his heels.

How could Xu Enzeng let go after finally catching the tail of the underground party and not squeezing out the use value of the defectors? Anyway, he has no such thing as reputation and is not afraid of being scolded.

However, the effect of these words was not good. Some of the observers looked blank, some frowned, and some didn't care, but no one came forward to admit it.

In the crowd, several female secretaries and female clerks huddled together, turned their backs and did not dare to look into the interrogation room, discussing something in a nervous whisper.

"Do you think these spies will torture us?"

"Hmph, if Xu Enzeng dares to do something, my father will not spare him."

"It's hard to say, but this case is related to the underground party."

"That's right, Anna, who do you think is a dissident?"

One of them looked at the companion who had not spoken from the beginning to the end, and asked the other party's opinion on this matter. The Anna she was talking about was Joanna, the stenographer in someone's official residence.

Joanna stroked the broken hair next to her ear, shook her head lightly, and looked at Xu Enzeng who was showing off his might not far away, and replied calmly.

"Then I don't know, you know, every time I have a meeting, I am busy taking shorthand notes, and I don't have time to observe who is more suspicious, and the underground party may not be among us.

The meeting had been over for so long, and many people had access to the records. Xu Enzeng invited us here just because he thought we could make things right, otherwise why didn't he go to the chief for questioning. "

"That's right, Xu is really not a good person."

"Hey, you don't know, this guy likes to find a married man the most"

"Oh, I know, his sister-in-law."

There is a saying in the West to describe women, saying that one woman is equal to 500 ducks, and there is also a proverb in the Republic of China called three women and one drama.

So many women gathered together and talked about Xu Enzeng's affair┴, it was a lively scene, the car was driving so fast that the wheels almost hit the face.

The men around were blushed by the words of tigers and wolves, or else once the woman drove the car, there would be nothing wrong with the men.

Looking at the chaotic observation room and listening to the "rumors" about him, Director Xu's nose was twisted, but he didn't dare to get angry. These women's official positions are indeed inferior to those of the officers, but they are not something he can offend.

For example, the woman who happily told the story he and his sister-in-law had to tell, her father is a general who ranks close to Jun Weihui, and her brothers are all powerful officers in the front-line army. As the youngest child, she is very popular at home. If you dare to show your teeth to the other party, you will be shot in the face tonight instead of tomorrow.

There is also the woman with curly hair next to her. Her husband is the deputy director of the attendant's office. Going in and out of the leader's mansion is like going to his own home. Equally difficult to deal with.

Xu Enzeng is now a mouse in the bellows—receiving anger at both ends, biting his teeth with anger, his dark eyes slowly moved to Joanna┴, and then gave up the idea of ​​revenge again.

Compared with the previous two, although this one does not have the father of the general and the husband of the deputy director, he is the most trusted stenographer of the commissioner and his wife. He lives in the Huangshan official residence in Pingshi, and his wife treats him like a junior.

What is even more frightening is that Joanna has a very good relationship with Miss Kong Er. The two often go shopping together. Some people say that the two of them are married to Jinlan, and they are sisters with different surnames who have changed Jinlan's spectrum.

If he offended the other party, just a few casual words in Madam's ear would be enough for him to bear. Even if Madam didn't care, he wouldn't even know how to die if the legendary demon king of the country came forward.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Enzeng found sadly that he could not offend anyone, so he immediately stopped caring about these women, and planned to start with other torture observers, not wanting to gain something in the interrogation room.

Sun Qitai, the vice president of the Northeast National Salvation Association, finally let go of the torture: "I recruit, there is an underground party in the Northeast National Salvation Association, but I really am not!"

Originally dying, he suddenly raised his head when he said the last few words, and shouted hoarsely, as if he had been wronged so much.

Joanna in the observation room was calm and composed on the surface, smiling and chatting with her companion, but her ears were quietly pricked up, listening to Sun Qitai's confession attentively.
