Chapter 1258 Interrogation of Prisoners (5)
Inspector Liang and Clerk Xia followed Sun Shan's instructions and locked the three thieves in different small dark rooms, and then tortured them severely.
Inspector Liang said to the three men, "Come and draw lots."
After saying that, he handed three sticks of different colors to the three people and asked them to choose.
The thief was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why draw lots?"
Life or death is just a matter of words, just come.
Why do we draw lots? Do different colored lots indicate different ways of dying?
The three thieves turned pale and looked at the three sticks in fear.
Inspector Liang sneered, "Just draw lots if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Pointing at Thief C, he said, "What color stick do you want?"
Why did they always point to Thief C? Because among the three, he was the one who trembled the most, and it was obvious that he was the most timid.
Thief C pursed his lips, trembled, and shook his head desperately.
He doesn't want to draw lots, even if he is beaten to death!
Seeing that he said nothing, Inspector Liang just shook his head, sneered, and handed him a red stick lightly.
With a cold face, he said coldly: "Draw a red stick, drag it away."
The two officers behind him immediately responded, "Yes, sir!"
After saying that, he took a step forward and stuffed a foot cloth at Thief C. Then the two of them dragged him down and put him into a small dark room.
Inspector Liang looked at Thief A and Thief B again and said coldly, "If you don't accept the toast, you will have to drink the penalty drink. Since you don't want to smoke, I will do it for you."
After saying that, he threw a black stick at Thief B.
The remaining log stick naturally belonged to Thief A.
The four younger brothers behind them immediately rushed forward, dragged Thief B and Thief A away, and locked them up in small dark rooms respectively.
Fortunately, the Yuanlu County Government Office was built large enough. Not only did it have many offices, the magistrate's residence was large, and there were even several rows of prisons.
There are so many small dark rooms that not only can accommodate three thieves, but even thirty thieves can stay here.
Seeing the three thieves being dragged away like dead dogs, Xia Dianli couldn't help but step forward and whisper, "Master Liang, why are you letting the thieves draw lots? What do these black, red, and colorless lots represent?"
The three interrogation methods taught by Lord Sun were used on three people respectively.
Xia Dianli thought that people were randomly selected to be punished.
Why did Inspector Liang let the thieves draw lots? What was his intention? Lord Sun didn't mention drawing lots.
Inspector Liang spread his hands, shook his head, and said, "I don't have any particular intention. I just don't know which thief will use which interrogation method, so let them choose."
Then he said helplessly: "Who knew they wouldn't vote? I'll just have to choose for them."
Xia Dianli and the onlookers: ...
Forget it, Inspector Liang can do whatever he wants. Lord Sun has already handed the matter over to him, and he is responsible for everything.
Inspector Liang and his men were interrogating the thieves, while Sun Shan was sitting in the office reviewing documents.
County Magistrate Wang and Chief Secretary Wu immediately ran back to their own offices, not wanting to stay with Sun Shan for another quarter of an hour.
When I heard such a sinister method of interrogating a criminal just now, I felt a chill from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
The two of them thought carefully and wondered if they had offended Sun Shan.
Wu Zhubo thought about it and found that he had not offended anyone, so he went back to work with peace of mind.
County Magistrate Wang thought about it and realized that he had not offended Sun Shan. Although he could not work with peace of mind, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but think of my aunt in Chenzhou Prefecture.
The eldest aunt is smart. She makes the Wang family and Sun Shan do good.
County Magistrate Wang secretly sorted out today's affairs. When the escort arrived at the provincial school, he asked him to help bring the letter and asked his eldest aunt to analyze and give advice so that the Wang family could get along with Sun Shan next.
From sunrise to sunset, Inspector Liang had not yet finished the interrogation, and Sun Shan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
I thought the thieves would confess quickly, but how come they still haven't been apprehended after a whole day?
Either the thieves are too determined or Inspector Liang is too incompetent.
County Magistrate Wang and Chief Secretary Wu were also waiting for news. They waited and waited, but when the sun was about to set, there was still no news, and they couldn't help but feel strange.
County Magistrate Wang muttered secretly: It’s a holiday and we have to work overtime. It’s really unfair.
This was a damned thief who had ruined his love affair with his concubine. After the interrogation, the three thieves must know how to write the word "death".
Wu Zhubo was also puzzled as to why there was no result. Unable to contain his curiosity, he ran to Sun Shan and said, "Sir, could it be that the thief is not an ordinary thief? Why hasn't he confessed yet?"
County Magistrate Wang also ran over and asked, "Sir, why don't we go to the prison and take a look. What's going on?"
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ. Since Inspector Liang has been given full authority, we shouldn't interfere. He'll tell us when there's a result."
County Magistrate Wang and Chief Secretary Wu looked at each other and couldn't help but say goodbye to Sun Shan.
If there is no result and I can’t eat melons, why stay in the yamen?
It was getting late and it was still very cold after the New Year, so I had better get off work early and go home to hug my beautiful wife.
So County Magistrate Wang and Chief Secretary Wu left at the same time, without taking a single cloud with them.
Sun Shan: ...
Good to you, County Magistrate Wang and Chief Secretary Wu.
The thief ran away before confessing? What happened to the promise of standing together through thick and thin?
Not to mention Inspector Liang, Sun Shan hasn't finished get off work yet, how dare these two people punch out and leave?
It's really tactless.
The moon on the 15th is full on the 16th, but it’s also quite full on the 17th and 18th.
The moon was high above my eyebrows, and I had originally arranged to meet with Inspector Liang for after dusk. However, the three thieves proved more resilient than I had imagined, so I had no choice but to continue the interrogation.
Patrol Inspector Liang ran back and said, "My lord, the two thieves who were plucked and smeared with honey actually endured it. It's really extraordinary. My lord, I am even more convinced that these three thieves are not ordinary thieves. They can't be hunters, let alone refugees. My lord, these three are not simple."
It is incredible that the seemingly timid thief C could endure plucking the hairs one by one.
The same thing happened to Thief B, who was being eaten by thousands of ants but didn't move at all.
No matter how he was asked, he insisted that he was a refugee, which was beyond Inspector Liang's expectations.
As for Thief A, he was thrown into a small dark room during the day and not allowed to sleep.
It's evening now, time to start homework.
It seems to be still strong at the moment, but after that, it depends on his endurance.
Sun Shan was not only confused but also terrified. He asked nervously, "Inspector Liang, tell me, could these three be specially trained spies or assassins? How could ordinary thieves be like them?"
This time it was Sun Shan's turn to feel a chill in his spine, fearing that he had inadvertently gotten involved in a case he shouldn't have.
Ouch, I’m so scared, what should I do?
Inspector Liang was stunned. If they were spies, it would be fine, but if they were death squads or were involved in the conspiracy of powerful people, they would most likely suffer.
Inspector Liang trembled and said, "Sir, why don't you release these three thieves and pretend nothing happened?"
