Chapter 398 Poison Fang Dies, Actor Appears with Voice
When Jin Wanshan was led into the interrogation room, he still had that damned arrogant smile on his face.
He sat on the iron chair, crossed his legs, took out a cigar from his pocket, and lit it in front of Lu Jingyan.
“Brigade Commander Lu, this is illegal detention.” Jin Wanshan took a deep drag on his cigar, the smoke billowing from his nostrils.
“I am a returned overseas Chinese with a foreign passport. You have no right to treat me like this.”
Lu Jingyan leaned against the wall, twirling a pen in his hand, his eyes cold.
"Jin Wanshan, you are suspected of funding enemy agents, and the evidence is conclusive."
"A drama about witnesses?" Jin Wanshan flicked his cigarette ash.
"What evidence? I'm just a businessman, doing import and export business. Don't make baseless accusations."
Lu Jingyan ignored him, turned around and walked to the door, knocking twice.
The door opened, and Qin Zheng came in carrying a tin bucket.
The bucket was filled with ice water, and the ice hadn't completely melted yet, making a gurgling sound.
Jin Wanshan's expression changed when he saw the bucket of water, but he still forced himself to stay calm.
"What are you trying to do? Torture me to extract a confession?" He stood up and pointed to the security camera in the corner.
“I’m telling you, there are cameras here. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I’ll have the embassy come and cause you trouble.”
Lu Jingyan walked up to the camera and pressed the switch.
The red indicator light went out.
Jin Wanshan's face turned completely pale.
"Lu Jingyan, have you gone mad?"
“I’m not crazy.” Lu Jingyan turned around, his voice frighteningly calm. “I just want to have a chat with you.”
Behind the one-way glass, Su Wantang sat in a chair, holding a cup of hot tea.
She frowned slightly as she looked at the scene in the interrogation room.
"Qin Zheng's actions were too rough," she said, her voice not loud, but Qin Zheng in the next interrogation room clearly heard her.
He put down the bucket and stepped aside.
Lu Jingyan walked up to Jin Wanshan and pulled up a chair to sit down.
"Jin Wanshan, do you know? The most advanced interrogation technique isn't physical violence, it's winning people's hearts."
Jin Wanshan sneered.
"Winning hearts and minds? Who do you think you are? Zhuge Liang?"
Lu Jingyan didn't reply, but simply took a document out of his pocket and threw it on the table.
"Take a look for yourself."
Jin Wanshan looked down and saw the contents of the document; his pupils suddenly dilated.
That was a share transfer agreement for the Jin Group.
It clearly states that all shares under Jin Wanshan's name have been forcibly reclaimed by the board of directors.
"This is impossible!" Jin Wanshan suddenly stood up. "I am the chairman of the Jin Group. How dare they?"
“They not only dare, they dare to do it very well,” Lu Jingyan said, pulling out a newspaper. “Take a look at today’s headlines.”
The newspaper's front page headline read: "Kim Group's overseas stock price plummets; Chairman Jin Wanshan removed from the board of directors."
Jin Wanshan grabbed the newspaper, his hands trembling violently.
"This...this is impossible..."
"You think the Eagle's Nest will protect you?"
"To them, you're just a pawn. Once a pawn is no longer useful, it should be discarded."
Jin Wanshan's face turned pale and then red.
He slumped into his chair, the cigar slipping from his fingers and falling to the floor.
“I…I’ve done so much for the Eagle’s Nest…how could they do this to me…”
"So, you now have two choices."
"Either keep being stubborn and wait for the Eagle's Nest to silence you, or confess honestly and try to get leniency."
Jin Wanshan lowered his head, his shoulders trembling violently.
After a long while, he raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.
"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything..."
His legs buckled and he knelt on the ground.
"Commander Lu, please, spare my life... I know a lot... I'll tell you everything..."
Lu Jingyan stood up and looked down at him.
"explain."
“Eagle Nest has two more people in Beijing… codenamed ‘Actor’ and ‘Executioner’…” Jin Wanshan said, his voice growing increasingly urgent.
"The actors are responsible for disguise and infiltration, the executioners are responsible for assassination... they are all top-notch..."
Who is the actor?
“I…I’ve never met him in person…but I know he’s very good at imitating voices…he can imitate anyone’s voice…” Jin Wanshan said, then suddenly stopped.
His eyes were wide open, and he gripped his neck tightly with both hands.
"Mmm...mmm..."
Lu Jingyan's expression changed, and he immediately rushed forward.
"Jin Wanshan!"
Jin Wanshan's body convulsed violently, and a large amount of black blood gushed from his mouth.
Blood seeped from his eyes, nose, and ears, making his face look ferocious and terrifying.
Qin Zheng rushed over and tried to pry his mouth open.
But it was too late.
Jin Wanshan's body suddenly stiffened, then he collapsed to the ground.
His eyes were still open, his pupils filled with fear and resentment.
Behind the one-way glass, Su Wantang suddenly stood up.
"Jingyan!"
Lu Jingyan turned his head and glanced at her through the glass.
"Don't come in."
He crouched down to examine Jin Wanshan's body.
Jin Wanshan's mouth was wide open, filled with black blood.
Lu Jingyan shone a flashlight on him and found a broken tooth in the location of his back molars.
There's a tiny capsule hidden inside your tooth.
“Venom.” Lu Jingyan stood up, his face ashen. “Someone remotely detonated the poison capsule in his mouth.”
Qin Zheng's expression was also not good.
“The young lady is right, there are people from Eagle's Nest in the police station.”
Lu Jingyan turned around and looked at the wall of the interrogation room.
There was a small vent in the wall, almost invisible.
He walked over and shone his flashlight on it.
Inside the vent, there is a small metal device.
“A sonic vibrator,” Lu Jingyan said. “Someone used sound waves to shatter the poison capsule in his mouth.”
Qin Zheng gasped.
"That requires such precise control..."
“The people from Eagle's Nest are no ordinary people,” Lu Jingyan said, picking up the walkie-talkie.
"Immediately seal off the police station; no one is allowed to leave."
The voice of his subordinates came through the walkie-talkie.
"yes."
Lu Jingyan walked out of the interrogation room and pushed open the one-way glass door.
Su Wantang stood at the door, her face a little pale.
"Are you alright?" Lu Jingyan walked up to her and reached out to touch her face.
Su Wantang shook her head.
"I'm fine."
She glanced at the corpse in the interrogation room and frowned.
"Jin Wanshan is dead, and the trail has gone cold again."
“It wasn’t a complete rupture,” Lu Jingyan said. “Before he died, he gave two code names: ‘Actor’ and ‘Executioner’.”
“An actress…” Su Wantang repeated the code name, “who is good at imitating voices…”
She suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed.
"Jingyan, can you trust the people in the police station?"
Lu Jingyan shook his head.
"It's hard to say."
“That’s troublesome,” Su Wantang said. “Since Eagle’s Nest can place people in the police station, it means their infiltration is deeper than we thought.”
Lu Jingyan remained silent for a few seconds.
"Let's go, it's not safe here."
He took off his military overcoat and draped it over her, wrapping her up tightly.
"Don't look at that corpse, it's bad for the child."
Su Wantang was wrapped in his coat, with only half of her face showing.
She subconsciously touched her lower abdomen, her heart beating a little fast.
The two men walked out of the police station, and a jeep was parked at the entrance.
Qin Zheng was already in the driver's seat and had started the car.
Lu Jingyan helped Su Wantang into the car and sat down next to her.
The car drove out of the police station and onto the main street.
The night was dark, and the streetlights cast long shadows of cars.
Su Wantang leaned on Lu Jingyan's shoulder with her eyes closed.
She was still thinking about Jin Wanshan's expression before he died.
That fear and resentment—the Eagle's Nest truly shows no mercy when it comes to abandoning its pawns.
The car radio suddenly started playing.
"Good evening, listeners. We are now broadcasting a missing person notice..."
The announcer's voice was very standard, with the unique accent of that era.
"Looking for a woman, around twenty years old, 1.65 meters tall, with long hair, wearing a blue Lenin suit..."
Su Wantang opened her eyes.
That sound...
She sat up abruptly and stared at the radio.
"If anyone has any information, please contact the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau..."
The announcer's voice continued playing, but Su Wantang's heart was beating faster and faster.
She could tell.
The voice was exactly the same as hers.
