Explain everything
He was placed in a moderately lit interrogation room.
The paralyzing effect had worn off, and he gradually regained consciousness, only to find himself in an unfamiliar environment with his hands and feet cuffed.
He immediately struggled, his eyes fierce and alert.
At this time, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open and two people walked in.
Leading the team was Qiao Jianmin, followed by an experienced interrogation expert.
"Who are you? I want to see my lawyer!"
The man shouted in English, trying to use his identity and the law to put pressure on them.
Qiao Jianmin didn't say anything, but just sat opposite him calmly, looking at him.
The interrogation expert stepped forward and spoke in perfect English, "Sir, please calm down. This is China. You are suspected of a serious transnational crime, and your lawyer can't help you. We suggest that you cooperate with the investigation, which will make things much easier for you."
The man snorted coldly, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes: "Crime? I'm just an ordinary businessman. You've arrested the wrong person."
"Would an ordinary businessman carry this kind of thing with him?" the interrogation expert asked, and the staff member next to him pushed a small cart over.
On top of it was the intercepted box, which had been opened, revealing vegetables wrapped in Medog materials inside.
When the man saw what was in the box, his pupils suddenly shrank, but he quickly regained his alert.
"These are just some specialties I bought," he argued.
Qiao Jianmin spoke up at this point, questioning in English, "Specialty? Sir, using Medog materials doesn't guarantee they won't be scanned, and we already have evidence.
So don't waste your time, we know where you got it from and where you're taking it.
What we want to know is, who is your upline? What organization do you work for?
The man was silent. He knew that since the other party was able to stop him here, it meant that he had much more information than he imagined.
"I don't know what you're talking about." He continued to deny.
The interrogation expert took out a document and placed it in front of him: "This is your identity information and your activities in Shangjing.
We also have surveillance footage showing that a man named Zhao Wenxuan dropped this box on the side of the road and you picked it up.
Zhao Wenxuan, an exchange student from Country M, attending Beijing University. You're all from Country M, and you picked up the box he threw away. Don't you want to explain?
Moreover, this information is enough for us to identify your organizational background.”
The man stared at the document, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He didn't expect the other party to be so efficient that they even found out Zhao Wenxuan.
"Zhao Wenxuan asked me to bring some things for his friends in Country M." He tried to shirk responsibility.
"Friends?" Qiao Jianmin said calmly, but his eyes were sharp. "Don't insult our intelligence. Come up with a better lie."
The interrogation expert continued to ask, "We are not concerned with your relationship with Zhao Wenxuan. What we care about is how Zhao Wenxuan obtained them. How much does the organization behind you know about these things?"
The man gritted his teeth and refused to reveal the core information. He knew that if he did, his mission would be completely failed.
"I have no comment," he replied coldly.
Qiao Jianmin stood up, walked to the box, picked up a vegetable and looked at it carefully.
"You know what? These vegetables are called 'magic vegetables' here."
Qiao Jianmin said to himself, "It can cure diseases, strengthen the body, and even slow down aging if you eat it for a long time.
Its value cannot be measured by money.
Your organization has gone to great lengths to obtain it, so it seems you know something about it."
He put the vegetables back into the box and turned to look at the man: "Now, tell me, this is your only chance."
The man looked into Qiao Jianmin's eyes and felt an unprecedented pressure.
He had been caught, that was a fact, and he knew that it was pointless to continue resisting, as he could no longer leave.
"I... I don't know the specific source." The man finally gave in, but he still had reservations.
"All I know is that this is a very important sample and needs to be sent back to the organization as soon as possible. They asked me to contact Zhao Wenxuan, who will be responsible for obtaining the item in Shangjing."
"Very good." Qiao Jianmin stood up, "It seems you are starting to cooperate.
Go on, what do you want to study these vegetables for? YX Factor, is this what you want to study?"
When the man heard the words "YX factor", his face changed again.
Qiao Jianmin and the interrogation expert looked at him quietly.
"Alright," the man said in a low voice, a hint of resignation in his tone, "I admit, I'm not a businessman. I'm an intelligence officer from Country M, codenamed Spider."
Qiao Jianmin did not interrupt him, but just signaled the interrogation expert to continue.
"The government has long been concerned about 'YX Factor'." Spider continued, his speech gradually speeding up, as if this would make him feel more relaxed.
"My task is to receive this sample and transport it back to the organization for analysis and research as soon as possible.
Zhao Wenxuan is our insider recruited in Country M, his code name is Nightingale.
He used the identity of an exchange student to sneak into Shangjing University, with the goal of getting close to his target, Zhong Ling, and finding out her background and whereabouts.
"How did he get the sample?" asked the interrogation expert.
"He took advantage of a Chinese citizen, a girl named Zhu.
Zhao Wenxuan managed to get the lady to help him buy vegetables online. Spider did not hide it.
"He told me that he got the sample from that lady inside the school."
"How much do you know about the 'YX Factor'?" Qiao Jianmin finally spoke again.
"No... not much." The spider hesitated.
"I only know from Li Qiang's paper that it can greatly promote cell activity.
The organization believes that if its composition can be analyzed and artificially synthesized, it will be a revolution in the field of biotechnology and may even change the existing medical and military landscapes.
“Do they know what kind of people growers are?”
"All we know is that she's a very mysterious Chinese woman, and there's almost no background information available.
The organization suspected that she had an official background or was under strict protection.
Zhao Wenxuan's mission also includes investigating her true identity and abilities."
Spider revealed everything he knew, including the organization's structure, his contacts in China, and their speculations and ambitions regarding the "YX Factor."
The interrogation expert took notes on the side, while Qiao Jianmin listened quietly, and had a clearer understanding of the overseas organization's intentions.
They underestimated how much China valued Zhong Ling and also underestimated the capabilities of the national security department.
"Very good, Mr. Spider. Your cooperation will serve you well."
Qiao Jianmin stood up and said, "Next, it's your friend, Nightingale's turn."
Spider looked at their leaving figures, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, then quickly fell.
