The men interrogating Bai Qingping quickly stood up, and Jiang Qiao asked, "Well, did she confess?"

The two comrades shook their heads. "The stones in the latrine are smelly and hard, and they just won't open their mouths."

Jiang Qiao gestured for the two of them to sit down, "I'll give it a try, you guys take notes."

When Bai Qingping saw Jiang Qiao walk up to her, she felt a sudden tension in her body for no reason. She knew very well that Jiang Qiao was no pushover.

On the first day, she dared to stay in the same room as Jiang Qiao. That night, she didn't dare to close her eyes at all. Jiang Qiao didn't like staying in the same room with her, and neither did she. She was afraid that this woman would cause trouble in the first place.

Who would have thought that he would actually fall into the hands of this woman?

Jiang Qiao placed his hand on her shoulder, and Bai Qingping trembled involuntarily, but she quickly calmed down. She made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and said nothing, to see what the other party could do to her.

Jiang Qiao didn't say anything, his hand slid down Bai Qingping's shoulder, a smile on his lips.

"Don't be nervous, I'll loosen your bones for you. You Japanese devils really have it tough. You came all this way to burn, kill, and loot. The main force has all gone back, but you nobodies aren't in a hurry to go back. What are you trying to do?"

Haha, Bai Qingping, what was your original name? Don't let people still call you by that name even after you die. Maybe even your ancestors wouldn't be able to take you in.

"Look at you, a grown woman, you've turned into an old lady, what's the point—"

That's what they said, but suddenly the hand exerted force, and Bai Qingping screamed in agony, then fell to the ground, howling in pain. The pain was beyond her comprehension and indescribable, and her whole body trembled.

The sweat seemed to be flowing freely, with large beads of sweat rolling down his face.

At that moment, Jiang Qiao suddenly grabbed the woman's chin and dislocated it, meaning that Bai Qingping could no longer commit suicide even if she wanted to.

Jiang Qiao just stared at her coldly, and the words that came out of her mouth were even colder.

"Compared to the harm you inflicted on our compatriots back then, this pain is nothing at all."

Bai Qingping, just bear with it. You don't have to confess, but this pain will come every ten minutes, each time more intense than the last.

Bai Qingping now wishes Jiang Qiao would shoot her dead, so she could be free.

The two comrades next to Jiang Qiao were also taken aback by her method. "Is this even possible? I've never seen anything like it before."

They had originally intended to offer a few more words of advice, but after hearing Jiang Qiao's words, the two of them promptly shut up.

Jiang Qiao wasn't entirely confident in dealing with someone like Bai Qingping. These people really couldn't be reasoned with. Just like when he faced Sato, they were all cunning old devils, and physical pain might not necessarily make them behave.

Just as Jiang Qiao had expected, Bai Qingping was writhing on the ground in pain, but even in that state, she didn't utter a single word.

Jiang Qiao and his comrades gave a wry smile. "Look at these old devils, they really won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Zhanyu walked in and glanced at Bai Qingping, who was rolling on the ground.

"Bai Qingping, we have taken possession of the things in the cave. You no longer need to worry about them being stolen. After all that effort, you can finally get a good night's sleep."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingping was instantly filled with despair. She hadn't expected these people to search the mountain. She had made the cave quite well hidden, so how did they find it?

For so many years, she's stayed in this one place. What was she doing all this for? Wasn't it just for that little thing in the cave? Now all her efforts have been in vain.

Despite the pain all over her body, Bai Qingping's body stopped struggling in that instant.

Jiang Qiao sighed, "Fine, you can interrogate her then. Bai Qingping, you've run out of bargaining chips. There's no point in resisting any longer. For your own good, I advise you to tell me everything you need to say."

Jiang Qiao walked over and rubbed Bai Qingping's back a few times. "You can take your time with the interrogation. I'll go out first."

Since it involved a confidential matter, Jiang Qiao consciously pushed the door open and came out.

What happened next was no longer her concern. She went over to check on the four people, and there were people interrogating them.

Jiang Qiao stopped interfering; things seemed to be much more complicated than she had imagined.

Liu Zhanyu's interrogation lasted quite a while. Jiang Qiao ate her meal but didn't wait for him. She went straight to bed because she had to leave early the next morning.

When Jiang Qiao saw Liu Zhanyu in the morning, he had very dark circles under his eyes, which surprised her. She wondered how long they had interrogated him last night.

"He confessed?"

Liu Zhanyu gave a wry smile. "She's just talking nonsense. She doesn't know anything about the substantive issues. We'll have to keep grinding her down. This will have to be handled by Xiao Song."

Jiang Qiao's biggest question was why Bai Qingping lived here without anyone bothering her, and why no one knew that this place was actually a den of spies.

“We have indeed investigated this matter. As you know, this place is far from where people live, and no one is usually willing to travel such a long distance to climb the mountain. In addition, Bai Qingping and the patient you suspect have been faking their marriage for many years.”

Before liberation, that period was quite chaotic. I don't know how this couple got the job of forest rangers, and the place was known by the locals as Death Valley.

Over the years, it's not that no one has ever come here, but none of them have ever returned. With this rumor circulating, people are even less willing to come.

To put it bluntly, those people were basically all victims of their poison.

As for the other testimonies, we still need to continue reviewing and compiling them. That's all I can say.

Jiang Qiao nodded. "No wonder. I was wondering how they could hide so well and no one had bothered them. It turns out they had this kind of identity as a cover."

"Alright, you can continue with your work. We'll be going now. Take care and be safe. If anything comes up, we can talk about it when we meet again."

Jiang Qiao left with a large group, and there were people waiting for them outside.

Jiang Qiao didn't recognize the person who came to meet her, but Liu Zhanyu's men should be quite familiar with him. Since this person was fine, Jiang Qiao stopped worrying and simply left with them in the car.

Upon learning that they were heading to the same destination as her, Jiang Qiao simply took a ride back.

Upon arriving at their destination, Jiang Qiao bid farewell to Zhang Erhu, as she had promised to get him medicine.

Although he has made contributions by cooperating with Jiang Qiao, his current status means that how to deal with him is not something Jiang Qiao can decide.

After getting off the car, Jiang Qiao quickly called home to ask if Ma Liu and the others had left yet.

When Qiao Jie received his granddaughter's call, he almost burst into tears. He had felt something was wrong before; his child had already arrived at his doorstep, so it was impossible for her to disappear without a trace.

Even if there's an emergency, the child will definitely come and tell them, instead of leaving them waiting at home.

Although Song Shutian said Jiang Qiao was fine, the old man and the others knew in their hearts that the girl was probably in trouble.

Especially after what happened to the three of them, the old men became even more convinced that something had really happened to the girl.

Fortunately, Song Shutian communicated with them in time, telling them not to worry, that Jiang Qiao was not in any danger and would be back soon.
