He walked out of Wang Xing's ward and came to Kimura Takuno's ward.
Kimura had sneaked out yesterday, and he had drunk too much. He was scolded by the Japanese doctor, and he deliberately used more alcohol when cleaning his wound. It hurt so much that Kimura Takuno gritted his teeth. At this moment, Cheng Xiaofeng entered.
"Dr. Kitagawa, don't scold me. My friend is here.”
"With a patient like you, I don't have any face.”
"Ha Yi, I was wrong."
"Dr. Kitagawa, how are Kimura-Kun's injuries?”
"It's nothing. I just need to recuperate for a few days before I can be discharged. Alright, you guys talk.”
After the doctors and nurses left the ward, Cheng Xiaofeng took out two bottles of sake from his bag.
"Haha, Cheng Sang knows me well. That's great. Why did you give me glucose? It would be better to give me sake.”
"Haha, Kimura-Kun, I'm saddened by the misfortune of Sei Sawada, but you'll be the next team leader.”
"Eh, what's wrong? Mine can't.”
"You're also injured, so you should raise your military rank. It'll be justified for you to be promoted to major.”
"Unfortunately, the suspect was not among the five people I arrested. The interrogation was fruitless, and the murderer was not caught. Without credit, he would not be promoted.”
"Did you interrogate them?"
"I interrogated him with the special agent team, but we didn't get any details about the suspect.”
"Yes, I saw the conclusion at the end of the interrogation record-release recommended.”
"Yes, why does Cheng Sang think there's a problem?”
"Since Kimura-Kun has already interrogated him, I don't have any more questions.”
——————
On the day of Wang Xing's assassination, Ichiro Suzuki told the five people at the wonton stall not to move. Everyone panicked, but Cheng Xiaofeng found that only one person did not panic at all, at least not as panicked as he looked on the surface.
People who were really panicking acted unconsciously, and their eyes were scattered. Those who pretended to be panicking acted with their brains, and their eyes were stable. Moreover, his actions were very imitative. When others held their heads, he would also hold his head. When others looked miserable, he also looked miserable. There was a time difference that ordinary people couldn't detect, less than 0.1 seconds.
That person was wearing glasses and looked gentle. Facing an emergency, he looked panicked, but his mind was not in a mess. This could not escape Cheng Xiaofeng's eyes.
This was also the reason why Cheng Xiaofeng did not immediately follow the ambulance to the hospital. He was observing the person. He could tell that among the five of them, only the bespectacled man could see the connection between the events and understand the cause and effect of the chaos at the wonton stall.
What betrayed him was an emoticon. Ichiro Suzuki roared," When he was about to kill anyone who moved, he showed a helpless and bitter smile for a moment. This was not an expression that a panicked person should have. Although this expression only lasted for a moment, it was captured by Cheng Xiaofeng in time.
Then, the man looked coldly at the military police running around with a contemptuous smile on his face.
Therefore, Cheng Xiaofeng had been worried that the bell of the New Tenan Church would appear in the interrogation record. Then, the call to the New Tenan Church would attract Kumamoto Shunji's attention.
There was no mention of the bell in the interrogation records of the five people.
Could it be that they were in the same industry? Was he helping to cover up the truth? Therefore, he had a strong interest in this bespectacled man. At the very least, they had to ensure that he walked out of the gendarmerie safely. Usually, it was difficult for people who were caught by the gendarmerie to come out alive.
"How about this, transfer this group of people to the Special Higher Police. We will do the final questioning. If there are no problems, the Special Higher Police will be responsible for releasing them.”
"No problem, as long as Captain Suzuki does the handover.”
"Alright, I'll give Suzuki-kun a call, and you should give Ozaki a call as well. When you're discharged, I'll treat you to a meal.”
"Cheng Sang, it's your soldier's fault. He doesn't feel good when he drinks. Even the Special Higher Police doesn't feel good when they drink.”
"Haha, as the eyes and ears of the Imperium, we must always be clear-headed.”
After saying that, Cheng Xiaofeng told Kimura Takuya to rest well and then left. He found a phone to call Kumamoto Shunji's office.
------
"Teacher, I'm at the army hospital. I want to do a final interrogation on the five people at the wonton stall. The military police have already issued a release order.”
"Alright, I'll let Captain Suzuki do the handover.”
"Also, after talking to Deputy Team Leader Wang just now, the frequency and transmission time of the radio station number 620 are very likely to be from the Central Committee. I am confident that I can crack the secret code.”
"Is that so? Just now, Deputy Team Leader Wang also called me and gave me a surprise. I just came back from the director's office and have something to talk to you about.”
"Ha Yi!"
————————
The Special Higher Police's interrogation room did not have a burning stove or a dazzling array of torture tools. It was pitch black inside, as dark as hell.
The glasses of the bespectacled man had been removed. He was blindfolded and brought into the interrogation room. He was led to sit on a thick and sturdy wooden chair. His hands were tied to the armrests with a belt. Then, the black cloth covering his eyes was removed.
After the black cloth was removed, it was still dark. He turned his head back and forth a few times, but there was still no light. Was there something wrong with his eyes? He wanted to rub his eyes, but his hands were tied.
The primitive fear of humans rose from their hearts. It was the fear of darkness.
"Mr. Chen, Chen Licheng, a reporter from the Huamei Evening Post, right?”A voice rang out in the darkness, as if it came from hell.
"Yes, yes!"
She could tell that he was trying his best to speak calmly to hide the panic in his heart.
"Answer two questions and you will regain the light you want.”
"Alright."
"How do the wontons taste? Tell me the truth."
"The taste is not bad. It's already very good as a roadside stall.”
"Which newspaper do you read every time?"
"Oh, the newspaper. I also read the Asahi Shimbun.”
Without warning, a light bulb lit up right above his head, hidden in a very deep shade, and a slender beam of light shone on the man sitting in the wooden chair.
Chen Licheng's pupils contracted. He tilted his head and closed his eyes to avoid the sudden light. For the first time, he felt that light could hurt people, but he was relieved. So he was not blind.
Due to the effect of the lampshade, he realized that he could not see anything else except himself and the dark armrest of the chair. He was still in the endless darkness.
"Answer two more questions and I'll let you go. They're already free, and you're the last one.”
"Good!"
This time, he answered without hesitation. He knew that there were at least four pairs of eyes staring at him. They were like spotlights above his head that could see through him. This feeling was not good.
"If the suspect was sitting in front of you, would you still be able to recognize him?”
"He's not tall or fat. He ate an entire bowl of wontons, and there wasn't even any soup left. He asked for a big bowl, so his appetite shouldn't be small. I couldn't guarantee that I would recognize him because his newspaper covered his face. He ate his wontons while looking at them.”He spoke very quickly, as if he wanted to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling as soon as possible.
"You were also reading the newspaper while eating. Are you sure what newspaper he was reading?”
"What newspaper? His newspaper should be the Monday News.”
"Okay, Mr. Chen. You can leave in two hours.”
Chen Licheng was stunned. The index finger of his right hand trembled slightly. This result was far better than he had imagined, and it came so suddenly.
As if he suddenly realized something, Chen Licheng's face revealed a look of fear and trepidation as he repeatedly said,"Thank you, thank you!"
A pair of hands reached out from the darkness, and the black cloth covered his eyes again.
------
"You're letting him go just like that?" Ichiro Suzuki was puzzled.
"Yes, he has already told us a lot.”
Ichiro Suzuki shook his head helplessly. He couldn't enter this person's world no matter what.
"Cheng Sang, stop talking in riddles. What did he tell us?”
"He told us that the killer's accomplice had a big appetite.”
"Can it be eaten?"
"Yes, according to the other people's confessions, the assassin's accomplice arrived at the wonton stall at around nine o'clock. In the morning, people ate a small amount. According to their height and weight, they should eat a medium-sized bowl. If they walked a long way, they would eat more than normal people. He was the second person to arrive at the wonton stall, at least earlier than Chen Licheng. Logically speaking, he should have read the Wednesday's newspaper, but he had been holding a Monday's newspaper. This meant that this person was not interested in current politics. The newspaper was just a cover. Chen Licheng arrived at the wonton stall at 9: Around 15, it took five minutes from the time the customer sat down to the time the wontons were served. At this time, Chen Licheng would definitely glance at the guest opposite him and see that person reading the newspaper while eating. He also took a newspaper and read it while waiting for the wontons. When the wontons were served, Chen Licheng would put down the newspaper. At that time, he would inadvertently glance at the other party and realize that the wontons in front of the other party had been eaten. Around 18 minutes. When the wonton stall collapsed, it was 9:35。From the time the killer finished eating to the time he took action, it took 15 to 20 minutes. This time was the estimated time difference of the killer's accomplice. In reality, it would be even smaller. To be on the safe side, he would add a factor to double the time. This meant that the error in their judgment of the time of the operation was 10 minutes.”
Ichiro Suzuki widened his eyes and said in disbelief,"He told us so much nonsense? I was confused. Cheng Sang, make it simple."
"That's a person who doesn't waste food. Yeah, who would waste food now! This was a basic starting point for making a judgment. It was also a basis for judging time. That was, even if he were to carry out the operation, he would not waste food. Then, when he finished the bowl of wontons in front of him, it would be the beginning of his operation. He should be a soldier. Only a soldier would divide the time between eating and carrying out a mission so clearly. Chen Licheng had said that the person ate all the soup and water, and from this, it could be inferred that this basic starting point was reliable.”
Ichiro Suzuki had a pitiful expression on his face.
"Hehe, it took us about eight minutes to arrive at the scene of the incident. The other party's error was 10 minutes, only two minutes more than us. When we go out, this information will reach the wonton stall. He covered his face with the newspaper, which means that this information is not seen with his eyes, but heard with his ears."
At this point, Ichiro Suzuki had already stood up and ran outside as if he was escaping. As he ran, he muttered,"I understand. There's a lot of information in his words.”
"Remember to release him in two hours.”
------
Cheng Xiaofeng smiled knowingly when he saw Ichiro Suzuki's retreating figure.
The above analysis was meaningless. It was just to make Ichiro Suzuki feel that this interrogation was necessary.
In fact, the purpose of this interrogation was to further determine whether Chen Licheng was a special agent.
In the darkness, the other party was still somewhat wary of the first two questions. He had considered the answers to the questions and had some reservations, even if the questions were unimportant.
When the lights were turned on, it caused a shock to the other party's heart. The other party tried his best to get rid of this uncomfortable environment. Feeling uncomfortable was not dangerous. Not only would it not increase one's wariness, but it would also dilute the original defenses in one's heart and reduce one's wariness to the minimum. The timing was very short, only ten seconds. From the perspective of psychological behavior, this period of time was known as the 'window period of truth'.
Therefore, the third sentence of the other party's answer was very long, very trivial, and very detailed. What he described was completely from the perspective of a professional agent, and he also added his own judgment. He had unknowingly revealed his true side.
After this 'truth window period,' the other party would adapt to this uncomfortable environment and close the 'truth window,' restoring their wariness. Therefore, Chen Licheng's fourth question and answer returned to a cautious and vigilant state.
When the interrogation was over, the other party's stunned expression also confirmed that he was currently in a high-level state of alert and was ready to deal with the next interrogation. In the end, the interrogation ended, and his fist, which had been accumulating strength for a long time, landed on empty air.
After the interrogation ended and he was safe, he recalled if he had missed anything in his answer. In the end, he realized that the third question was his failure because it was still not dangerous to him. The switch of vigilance was not closed, so this question came from his instinct. His instinctive exposure annoyed him, so his index finger unconsciously trembled. From the perspective of psychological behavior, this was called 'true betrayal'.
What was said might not be the truth. A slight body movement was more real than what was said.
The reason why agents were so sensitive to agents was because agents were different from normal people, especially long-term professional agents. Their every move had to overcome their instincts and form a short thinking time. Although it was very short and ordinary people could not see it, it could not escape the eyes of senior agents.
This was why speaking the truth was smoother than lying.
Chen Licheng had responded to this interrogation as a secret agent. In fact, he was very wrong because his identity should only be an innocent person.
However, the dark interrogation room of the Special Higher Police gave him a strong hint that he was an agent being interrogated.
——————
Although he had always suspected Chen Licheng's identity, the reason why he had never come into contact with Chen Licheng was to observe the development of the matter. It had been two days since he was arrested by the military police. Logically speaking, his organization should have reacted.
However, the military police had already released the news that they were ready to release him. Therefore, his organization would stop all operations and wait for him to come out.
One of the reasons why Cheng Xiaofeng transferred him to the Special Higher Police was to get Chen Licheng's organization moving again. Letting the other three go also put his organization in a state of high tension. The next two hours were the last straw that Cheng Xiaofeng placed on the camel's back. He wanted to see if he could crush the critical point in the heart of the organization behind Chen Licheng. Move or not move.
Of course, he would not let Chen Licheng be in danger. A person like Chen Licheng naturally had an important mission.
The reason why he was extradited to the Special Higher Police for release was that he didn't trust the military police and was afraid that something bad would happen to Chen Licheng in the wolf den. The gendarmerie was hell on earth. How could they care about the life of a Chinese? Although the Huamei Evening News did not strongly support the resistance, it still made some objective reports to cater to the enthusiasm of the people in the concession. Therefore, the identity of a newspaper reporter in the concession was still sensitive. The gendarmerie didn't let him go, and he could be convicted for 'publishing anti-Japanese speechs'!
