Chapter 233 Interrogation

In the simple temporary interrogation room, Shadan sat alone behind the table, with his head down, not saying a word, looking somewhat cold. But once someone opened the door and came in, his expression immediately changed, especially when a familiar warrior came in, he would look past them pitifully, without saying a word, his eyes had already expressed all the grievances.

Before today, all the soldiers who came to guard the border had taken good care of him. But now, the situation suddenly reversed. The fool who was protected by everyone yesterday suddenly became an enemy who wanted to provoke a dispute between the two countries. This made it difficult for many people to accept it for a while.

However, the soldiers remembered the military rules and regulations clearly, and no one acted impulsively to speak a word for Shadan before the results of the investigation came out.

When Donkey heard the news, he ran over during the break, hid outside the door, and secretly looked inside. The Shadan in the room was no different from before, and was nothing like the enemy spy in his impression. Since he picked up this idiot, he treated him as his younger brother. He saw that Shadan seemed to be frightened, and he felt a little distressed.

In his heart, he really couldn't accept that Shadan was an enemy spy, and felt that there must be some misunderstanding. However, he trusted Zhang Tuan's character more, and knew that he would not wrongly accuse anyone. He comforted himself in his heart that Shadan would definitely be fine, and if there was any misunderstanding, it would be fine after it was clarified.

When Zhang Yuandong came over, he saw Donkey was lying on the door crack with his butt sticking up and peeking inside. He patted him on the back, and he was so scared that he jumped up and was about to shout something, but Zhang Yuandong quickly covered his mouth.

He had heard people say that it was the "idiot" picked up by the soldier in front of him, but due to frequent changes of posts on the border, the two had only met a few times. He did not expect that they had developed such deep feelings for each other that they could even secretly come to see each other.

When Donkey came to his senses, he saw a row of leaders standing behind him. He probably saw his lewd appearance when he was peeping just now. He wanted to cry but couldn't. At least he remembered to salute when meeting the leaders, so he stood up properly and saluted.

Zhang Yuandong saw that he was uneasy and was about to slip away after the military salute, so he stopped him and said, "I remember you. Your name is Chen T Youcai, right? You stay and be a witness. Listen to see if I have wronged anyone."

Zhang Yuandong was accompanied by Regiment Commander Shen and Commander Lin. The latter reached out and tapped Donkey Egg, his eyes full of warning, and whispered, "That idiot likes to act up whenever he sees you. To prevent any further mishaps, you'd better not go in. Just stand at the door and listen!" After he said that, he followed the two regiment commanders into the house.

Lu Dan was panicked when he heard this. Why were they not even allowed to enter the door? Was he suspected? This was really like heavy snow in June. It was so unfair. He stood outside the door anxiously. He didn't care about the cold temperature of more than ten degrees below zero for a while. He only focused on the conversation between the people in the room.

Except for Zhang Yuandong, the others in the room didn't really believe it. When Zhang Yuandong stepped forward to interrogate him, Captain Shen knocked on Instructor Lin, winked at him, and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why did you catch a fool?"

Xiao Lin shook his head. He had been helping Zhang Tuan with deployment these days, but he actually didn't know who the hidden enemy was. Before this, he had suspected everyone, but not this idiot. It was not his fault. Just based on the idiot's usual behavior, no one would think that he was pretending.

Zhang Yuandong walked over and said sarcastically, "Oh, you are addicted to playing the fool, and you are still acting?"

"Silly" didn't say anything, turned his head away and didn't look at him, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him. Zhang Yuandong didn't get annoyed, and started to provoke him: "I used to work in the public security system for a while. At that time, there was a colleague who didn't want to pay attention to people. His reaction was very similar to yours. He liked to treat people as air. But he was not dumb. On the contrary, he was very talkative, which was different from you."

He carefully observed the "silly" man's face and said with a smile, "But after such a careful look, you and my colleague do look a lot like each other."

Shadan rolled his eyes and ignored him. Zhang Yuandong remained calm and asked casually, "Do you know where my colleague is now?"

The other person's body moved slightly, which was captured by Zhang Yuandong. However, he did not expose him, and continued: "In fact, I don't know where he is now, but it is not difficult to guess, he is just imprisoned in those three places. Speaking of which, although my colleague is on Chang Kaishen's side, he is quite loyal. He had a chance to escape, but in order to go back to save his brother and father, he was caught by us."

From the moment Zhang Yuandong started talking, "Shadan" lowered his head, looking uninterested, but under the table where no one could see, he clenched his hands into fists, with veins bulging on the backs of his hands and forearms.

Zhang Yuandong moved his face closer to the other person, carefully observing his expression, and said seriously: "Do you know his name? His name is - Zhou Quanan. Come to think of it, it's a bit similar to your name. Isn't it a coincidence? Zhou Quanshan?"

Zhou Quanshan suddenly raised his head, staring at Zhang Yuandong fiercely with ferocious eyes, but he could play a fool without anyone suspecting him, so he must have real skills. He quickly calmed down his emotions, closed his eyes quickly, and as usual, pretended to be willful, covered his face with his hands, and ignored everyone again.

Zhang Yuandong sneered, "What's the point of you acting now? Your pistol has been exposed. How can you justify yourself?"

Zhou Quanshan's face, buried in his hands, froze for a moment. He felt that he could no longer pretend in front of this man. He and Zhang Yuandong had a deep blood feud. He could act crazy and foolish in front of anyone without any burden, but not in front of him. His hatred was about to solidify into substance.

But he soon calmed down and regained his expressionless face. As long as he didn't admit it, he would have the opportunity to guide these simple-minded soldiers to fill in the loopholes for him. Even if they couldn't, he could still find an opportunity to escape by taking advantage of their sympathy.

But once he admitted it, he would have no chance of escaping.

This guy is really patient, much better than his brother. Zhang Yuandong continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. You probably think that I will be concerned about other people's comments and dare not use any means against you, right? You really guessed it right, I really dare not touch you, so I choose another method."

He walked forward and grabbed Zhou Quanshan's hair, looked straight into his eyes, and said slowly: "You don't have to tell me, but I can ask others. I tortured others, and those brats in the camp can't feel sorry for it, right?"

Zhou Quanshan frowned, and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes. But he quickly calmed down. With such an obvious test, he bet that Zhang Yuandong must not have discovered the other people and was just deceiving him.

Zhang Yuandong caught the flash of mockery in the other's eyes and grinned. He ordered the soldier behind him: "Go and bring that old man Liu over here, let us see if he is the relative that we have been missing for a long time!"

A soldier behind him answered loudly "Yes", took the order and went out.

This time, Zhou Quanshan couldn't hide the panic on his face, and his eyes kept glancing towards the door.

His behavior was basically no different from admitting it himself. Everyone saw it clearly and understood it.

"Old Man Liu" was soon forced in. It turned out to be the old cowherd I had seen before. The old man was quite calm. As soon as he entered the house, he first looked around the layout of the house, and then found an opportunity to wink at Zhou Quanshan, telling him to try his best to save himself and not to bother with him.

Zhang Yuandong saw the two people's little movements clearly. He patted the old man on the face twice and said, "If I were you, I would definitely worry about myself first. After all, your son is very capable. I won't do anything to him for the time being, but you won't be so lucky!"

After saying this, he did not give the father and son time to communicate, and said to the soldier: "Take them to the next room. It will be too bloody later. The fool is so cowardly. Let's not let him see it."

The soldier received the order and forced "Old Man Liu" out again, not giving the two of them any time to exchange information. Zhang Yuandong no longer cared about Zhou Quanshan. He discussed something with Captain Shen and a few others, and the group soon walked out.

Zhou Quanshan was really anxious at this time. He quickly stopped the man and said, "Wait! Ask me if you have anything to say. He is old and cannot stand the torture."

His father was already over sixty years old. He had lost several children in succession and had been displaced for years. His body had long been unable to bear it, so how could he withstand their interrogation?

Zhang Yuandong sneered: "You two are a loving father and a filial son."

Zhou Quanshan smiled bitterly. The affection between their family members was indeed very deep. If it wasn't for revenge for his elder brother and elder sister, how could he and his father endure such hardship, one pretending to be a fool and being bullied every day, while the other herded cattle in the village?

He raised his head and asked unwillingly, "When did you find me?"

"When we first met," Zhang Yuandong said with some admiration, "you really acted like a fool. Not only did you act like one, but you were also willing to defile yourself. The fleas on your body and the scab on your neck are not something that ordinary people can do. I really didn't doubt you at first, but you stole my documents."

He looked at Zhou Quanshan and smiled, "You and your father probably practiced everything, but you forgot some common sense. You are a fool, you didn't tear up the file bag when you got it, but you couldn't wait to open it. And your father, do you know when you last met? The temperature is so low, who would come out to herd cattle at this time?"

As for the identities of the two people, they were found out by Liu Fang.

Zhou Quanshan was a little surprised. He and his son had thought of almost all possible situations, but they did not expect that there would be mistakes in these details.

He covered his face and laughed crazily for a few times, then quickly calmed down and said nonchalantly: "If you want to know anything, ask now. I will tell you everything I can. But even if you arrest the two of us, it won't change anything. It may not be long before there will be chaos here. After all, you were the ones who fired the first shot and started the war."

He spoke incoherently, and everyone except Zhang Yuandong was a little confused. Zhou Quanshan had been subdued before he opened fire, and there was no commotion at the time. Now he said this, which made people wonder, is there another enemy lurking nearby?

Zhang Yuandong understood his idea. After he became suspicious of "Shadan", he suddenly remembered that there was a similar idiot on the eastern front, who was also an orphan and suddenly appeared, and his routines were almost exactly the same.

Zhang Yuandong thought it was a coincidence, so he went back and investigated several other military regions along the border, and found that similar traces suddenly appeared in almost every place. These people were either idiots or lunatics, and some were children of seven or eight years old. Later it was confirmed that they were not real children, but dwarfs.

Because they were discovered early, these people were under surveillance early on. They thought it was a surprise action, but our army had already grasped their movements.

However, he did not intend to tell Zhou Quanshan about these things. This man would probably be sent to find his brother soon. Let him keep a little fantasy and think that he had completed the mission successfully. Otherwise, his days in prison would be so hard in the future and he would not have a good time.
