Chapter 326: Camel Bank Accounting Office
Chapter 326: Camel Bank Accounting Office
Lin Ze no longer paid attention to Jiao Zhenguo. On the surface, he lowered his head and continued to read the files, but in fact he kept thinking in his mind.
Now there are two possibilities.
One possibility is that Jiao Zhenguo and his team had already obtained the intelligence and wanted to push someone to take the blame. Otherwise, once the Japanese discovered the intelligence leak and secretly investigated it, it would be very troublesome.
Then the identity of Lu Xin is very interesting. Logically speaking, even if the Red Zone wants to find someone to take the blame, they won’t find one of their own, right?
Since the information is already in hand, there is no need!
But if he was not one of them, why would Lu Xin, knowing that he would die, be so obedient and cooperate?
Another possibility is that Jiao Zhenguo and his team have not yet obtained the intelligence, but are using their own people as bait to lure the intelligence out.
In this case, there are more operations that can be carried out later. For example, there must be more than one set of battle plans. They can first make the Japanese believe that one of the plans was leaked, and then after attracting enough attention, find ways to come up with other plans.
For example, they can disrupt the situation by using a so-called suspect. The front army will definitely send someone to verify, and the person who comes to verify must know the real intelligence.
All we need to do is send someone to ambush on the road, kidnap the officer, and then conduct a surprise interrogation. Maybe we can get the real intelligence.
Of course, doing so is too risky. Not to mention whether the surprise interrogation would be successful, at least if such a thing happened, Jiao Zhenguo would definitely be exposed.
After staying in the file room for half a day, the two staff officers of the front army finally arrived.
Jiao Zhenguo met with them.
These two staff officers were quite arrogant towards Lao Jiao, but they were very polite when talking to Lin Ze. After all, Lin Ze was one of their own officers. The leader was called Keigo Izawa, a captain, one level higher in rank than Lin Ze, and the one who followed him was called Yuta Tenpei, who was at the same rank as Lin Ze.
Moreover, Lin Sang is generous and has extensive connections. It can be said that from the gendarmerie headquarters to the front headquarters, Lin Sang's name is known to everyone.
This is Pai Noodles!
Izawa Keigo exchanged a few pleasantries and also asked to see the file.
The two staff officers sat there and watched for a long time. After a while, Izawa Keigo frowned and said, "I think the most urgent task now is to determine whether this criminal has any accomplices. What if he is just a bait? If so, it is very likely that his accomplices have already left the city!"
What Keigo Izawa said sounded very professional, but it was actually not the case at all.
Sending intelligence is not drug trafficking, so there is no need to create confusion. If he is just a bait as he said, it is not to cover up other people sending out intelligence, but for some other purpose.
When it comes to delivering intelligence, the more people there are, the greater the risk. The number of people and the risk increase exponentially, so no one will try to operate on multiple fronts.
However, considering that Keigo Izawa is just an advisor, he is quite smart to think of this.
Jiao Zhenguo hesitated for a moment, "Then apply for a joint investigation? Have all the checkpoints in various places check for suspicious persons?"
Izawa Keigo nodded and said, "I will call Minister Matsuzaki personally to explain this matter."
After he called back, several people entered the interrogation room again and continued to interrogate Lu Xin.
Lin Ze looked at the man.
He was about thirty-five years old, thin, looked very nervous and anxious, and looked around frequently. He didn't look like a spy at all.
Of course, don’t judge a book by its cover, they may just be pretending.
Keigo Izawa and Yuta Tenpei's Chinese is average and they have no interrogation experience, so Jiao Zhenguo was still responsible for the questioning.
Lao Jiao slammed the table and said, "Lu Xin! Let me tell you, the gates of all cities have been closed. All routes out of Peking have been set up with checkpoints and strictly checked. Even if you have accomplices, you can't escape. I advise you to tell the truth. If you can cooperate, I can guarantee that I will spare your life."
Izawa Keigo added stiffly, "There is an old Chinese saying, 'A sister is a hero.' If you can reveal your accomplices, not only will we not kill you, we will also let you serve in the detective team. How about that?"
After talking for a long time, Lu Xin still looked nervous, but he never spoke.
There is no other choice but to use torture.
The two staff officers had little experience in torture, and Lin Ze was reluctant to do it himself, so Jiao Zhenguo had to do it himself.
No matter what time it is, no matter how many new torture instruments are researched, the first step is to use the whip, which is inevitable.
This is not only a tradition of torture, but also can create an atmosphere of fear for the prisoners.
Compared to the pain of having one's skin torn apart, the torture of not knowing when the next whip will fall and having to prick up one's ears to listen to the sound of the whip breaking through the air so that one can be mentally prepared is what the prisoners fear the most.
Friends who often play with whips know that if you want to create this kind of fear, you can't whip according to the rhythm, but you have to make the person being whipped unable to grasp the rules. People with good skills can often make the person being whipped emotionally collapse quickly.
Obviously, Lu Xin started to twitch.
It wasn't a twitch caused by pain, but a twitch caused by a stress response due to a psychological breakdown.
Jiao Zhenguo quickly took the opportunity to ask, "Who are you from?"
"I am innocent! I am innocent! I don't really want to join the Beiping Station, I......"
It seemed that Lu Xin had really broken down, and he told the truth.
This man does have a blood feud with the Japanese, but he is not a good person either.
Lu Xin was from Rehe and he worked for the Japanese devils in the beginning. He was not considered a local traitor. He was just an ordinary guide who ate and drank for free.
As a result, one day the Japanese got drunk and took a fancy to his wife and daughter, and then a tragedy happened.
The wife later committed suicide and the little girl died at that time.
Lu Xin wanted to take revenge, but he didn't have the courage. He was too ashamed to continue living in his hometown, so he ran to Peking alone. Since he could read a few words, he worked as an accountant for a camel business.
Camel companies are similar to logistics companies. Large ones may have thousands of camels, while small ones may have dozens of camels. They transport coal in winter and goods in summer.
"Then how did you get in touch with the Peking Station?"
Lu Xin said with a bitter face, "I don't even know if it is the Beiping Station. I often follow the camel caravan to the outside of the city. Every time I arrive at a place, I always have to stop and eat at a big cart inn. After so many times, I got to know a local businessman. Later, when he got drunk, he said he worked for some bureau and asked me if I wanted to help them deliver things and intelligence. I could get more than ten dollars for each delivery. Although I earned enough from the camel business, who doesn't want to make more money? Besides, I often follow the camel caravan in and out of the city, so it would be a waste if I don't make this money."
Lin Ze was a little confused. Could this guy really be from the Beiping Station?
This shouldn't be the case. If he was from the Beiping Station, how could he be caught by Jiao by such a coincidence?
