Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 318 Li Dagui's Explanation
Seeing Zhigang walking towards him in two or three steps with a paper in his hand, Li Dagui's heart tightened, but he then forced himself to remain calm.

He was betting that Zhigang, as a state employee, would not dare to openly use brutal torture on him, and that Lian Shouren, as a member of the organization, would not stand idly by and watch such unscrupulous behavior.

Zhigang was extremely excited at this time and had no time to pay attention to the expressions of the other two people in the room. He held a piece of yellow paper in his hand and kept gesturing on Li Dagui's face, as if he was considering where to start to make it look better.

Pa~~
Just as Lian Shouren was waiting with great interest and Li Dagui was trembling all over and anxiously waiting for Zhigang's next move, they didn't expect that he raised a hand and slapped himself heavily on the forehead.

"Look at my stupid brain. I was so focused on the paper that I forgot to get some water."

After saying that, Zhigang stuffed the paper in his hand to Lian Shouren beside him with a look of regret, and ran out of the interrogation room without caring whether Lian Shouren agreed or not.

Li Da Kui was a little dazed by Zhigang's actions. When he came to his senses, his inner fear had reached its peak. A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead at some point.

The feeling of waiting to be tortured is sometimes more unbearable than having the torture instruments applied to your body.

The sound of hurried footsteps outside the interrogation room was the last straw that broke the camel's back in Li Dagui's heart. His face was distorted and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"I confess, I confess, tell that psychopath to stay the fuck away from me."

Hearing that Li Dagui was willing to confess, Lian Shouren no longer had the urgency he had just had. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and took a puff before he spoke slowly:

"Then tell me everything you know."

Li Dagui looked greedily at the cigarette in Lian Shouren's hand, licked his dry lips, swallowed his saliva, and asked with some pleading: "Can you give me a cigarette first?"

"What are you smoking? Let's start right away."

Before Lian Shouren could say anything, Zhigang pushed open the door of the interrogation room and spoke with one foot inside and the other outside.

Seeing Zhigang, who was talking, walking quickly towards him with a kettle in hand and an eager look on his face, Li Dagui, who had been in the society for more than 40 years, did not dare to say a word. He turned his head to look at Lian Shouren who was standing beside him.

Knowing that Li Dagui was really scared, Lian Shouren didn't want to scare him anymore. He flicked the ash in his hand and said to Zhigang:
"What are you doing here? Go and make a statement."

Upon hearing this, Zhigang instantly understood that Li Dagui was getting scared, and the joy on his face when he first entered the room instantly disappeared.

But he had to listen to his leader's words. Zhigang gritted his teeth and glared at Li Da Kui, who had his head hung, with eyes like knives. Then he muttered to himself and walked behind the interrogation table with a kettle in his hand.

Putting down the kettle, sitting on the chair and simply organizing the paper and pen, Zhigang said weakly: "Go ahead."

Li Dagui heard the words, as if he heard the sound of nature. Afraid that Zhigang was still thinking about him, he stopped smoking and looked up at Lian Shouren and said, "Leader, ask me what you want to know. I will cooperate with you."

Lian Shouren raised his hand to look at his watch and began to calculate silently in his mind. It has been almost an hour since Li Dagui was arrested. He didn't know whether the steel plant security department had alerted the enemy when they arrested him.

Or to go into more depth, did Mr. Luo place guards around Li Dagui to guard against emergencies? After all, this little trick is widely used by various intelligence agencies.

Thinking of this, Lian Shouren did not dare to delay any longer. If he was a second faster, he might get unexpected results. "First, tell me about the surname Luo, your work unit, home address, and where you usually go. The more detailed the better."

Since he had decided to confess, Li Dagui had no intention of hiding anything and told everything he knew.

"I only know his name is Luo Gang, but I don't know whether it's his real name or a pseudonym. He never told me his work unit or home address, so I didn't dare to ask for fear of offending a taboo.

However, I once arranged for a Buddhist to follow him for a period of time. According to the Buddhist, Luo Gang often appeared near No. 1965 Laojundi, Chongxiaosi Street [Baiguang Road was named in .] [now No. , Baiguang Road nd Tiao]. I have not verified whether he lives in that area, so I can't guarantee it. "

"Does he have any place he likes to go? Or, where do you usually meet?" After hearing what Li Dagui said, Lian Shouren was afraid of missing something, so he hurriedly asked.

Li Dagui thought about it carefully and shook his head, "We can only contact each other twice a year. He only comes to my workplace when he has something to do. We have never arranged any meeting place."

Lian Shouren was somewhat impressed by Luo Gang's caution, and asked again without giving up: "Then how do you find him if you have information?"

"I heard from Luo Gang that he has been silent in the past few years. His superiors have never given me any tasks, so I naturally have nothing to do. This matter was explained to me when he suddenly came to me a few days ago."

"Did he say where to send the things after he got them?"

As soon as Lian Shouren finished asking, Li Dagui answered without a second thought, "No, he just told me to put the things away and he would come to get them himself."

After hearing Li Da Kui's reply, Lian Shouren suddenly felt overwhelmed and had a feeling of not knowing where to start.

He habitually took out a cigarette and lit it, frowning as he smoked while thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Seeing that he was no longer being questioned, Li Da Kui first glanced at the silent Lian Shouren, then stole a glance at Zhigang who was sitting behind the interrogation table with a sullen face, and tactfully lowered his head and said no more, not even daring to ask whether his confession would be considered a meritorious performance.

The three people in the room were all thinking about their own things and no one said anything. The only sound in the interrogation room was Lian Shouren smoking.

After smoking half a cigarette, Lian Shouren seemed to have an idea. He flicked off the ash and turned to Zhigang, who was staring at Li Dagui, and said:
"You stay in the room and don't do anything weird. I'll be back soon." After saying that, Lian Shouren strode out of the interrogation room.

"When a daughter-in-law gets married, the matchmaker throws her over the wall..."

Watching Lian Shouren open the door and leave the interrogation room, Zhigang turned his head and, while complaining softly, stared sinisterly at Li Dagui who was sitting on the interrogation chair.

Feeling that Zhigang was staring at him with ill intentions, Li Da Kui, who had originally lowered his head, wanted to tuck his head into his crotch and pretend that he didn't see it. It was too damn torturous to stay in a room alone with a lunatic.

Lian Shouren left the interrogation room and soon arrived at the duty room at the door. He looked inside through the window and saw that He Yuanchao was still there just as he thought.

He Yuanchao was sitting in the duty room chatting with the security personnel. When he heard the noise, he looked outside and saw Lian Shouren standing outside the duty room. Knowing that he must have something to do, he quickly got up and went out to greet him.
