Chapter 193 Superb Acting
"Instructor, do you also suspect that someone in our group leaked the information?"
Irene asked, frowning.
"I taught you not to rule out anything."
"I see!"
"You called Wu Lianyi?"
Instructor Jiang asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, Yamamoto came out suddenly, so I had to gather people temporarily. She is the closest trainee."
Yilin lowered her eyes and said.
"You also made a backup plan."
Instructor Jiang said this in the affirmative.
"Yes, except for her excellent judgment, her loyalty is very poor. I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand torture and will directly betray us."
Irene explained.
This time, Instructor Jiang didn't say anything. He just waved his hand, told her to get busy, and started reading all the newspapers he had about yesterday's assassination.
Seeing that the instructor had no intention of blaming her, Yilin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the office.
Instructor Jiang sighed softly. He had always felt that there was something wrong with Wu Lianyi, but he could not find out what was wrong.
Lian Yi had been taken to a separate interrogation room. She pretended to be terrified and fell on a chair with weak legs. Before the officer with a face full of flesh could ask her any questions, she pretended to be calm and said:
"I'm a teacher at Yimin University. Today I went to Fuyunlou to buy two signature dishes for a snack. A thug bumped into me on purpose and said that I spilled the dishes on him. Even the owner of Fuyunlou tried to smooth things over, but he didn't buy it. He kept grabbing me and even made a move on me. Then I heard a gunshot."
After she finished speaking, the officer opposite her with a stern face spoke up:
"You don't know the person who is bothering you?"
“I don’t know him!”
"How many people are there?"
"There was only one person who hit me. After I said I wouldn't pay for the damages, a few more people came over, about five or six in total!"
"Five or six?"
"I can't remember clearly either. You can ask the clerk and the shopkeeper who were present at the time."
Ripple said somewhat uncertainly.
"Is there anything else you want to explain?"
“No more!”
Lianyi answered with a slight stutter.
Then Lianyi was taken back to the cell. A day later, she was taken to the interrogation room again, and this time a handsome Japanese officer interrogated her.
"Teacher Wu, we have verified what you said. It is indeed as you said. Those people deliberately made things difficult for you. However, they also confessed that they were paid to make things difficult for you."
Lian Yi was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said uncertainly:
"I don't remember offending anyone."
Then he lowered his head.
After seeing Lian Yi's reaction, the Japanese officer immediately made a guess and said:
"We lost two senior officers. This matter must have a conclusion. If we don't find any valuable information, you guys may not have a chance to get out of here."
The threat is obvious.
Lianyi pursed her lips and pinched the buttons of her windbreaker in her hands, looking very nervous and at a loss.
“We don’t believe in coincidences.”
The officer said in a deep voice, then waved to the soldier guarding the gate, who walked in, rudely pulled Ripple and dragged him out the door.
"I really don't know anything!"
Lianyi seemed frightened and shouted loudly while struggling.
"Don't worry, now is not the time to send you on your way."
The man's smile was a little gloomy.
Lianyi was then dragged to the execution room, where she looked at a variety of torture instruments. In the end, she saw a naked upper body man tied to a wooden frame. There was no good flesh on his body. Blood was everywhere on the ground, and there was not even a place to step.
After the man's face was lifted up, Lianyi could tell at a glance that it was the thug who had deliberately bumped into him. At this moment, he was breathing out more than breathing in.
She screamed, then covered her mouth, and was dragged directly into a dark room and pushed in front of a corpse covered with a white cloth. She subconsciously stepped back, trying to escape.
As a result, someone stepped forward and lifted the white cloth. A pale face appeared in Lianyi's eyes. It was the Kuomintang colleague she had dealt with.
"Ah!" Lianyi screamed and pretended to faint.
Then the soldier felt around her body, even checking her hair. Of course, he also touched her in the process. The Japanese soldier suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked around and immediately dragged Lianyi to the previous interrogation room.
A glass of water was poured on Lianyi's face. She woke up faintly and said with horror:
"I really don't know them, and I didn't kill them."
"It seems that Teacher Wu knew that dead man."
“I, I.”
Lianyi hesitated and said "I" for a long time, but couldn't make any sense.
"If you don't see it clearly, I'll have my men take you to have another look!"
"No! No! No! No thanks!"
Lianyi waved her hands and shook her head, obviously unwilling to see the corpse again even if she died.
"Very good! Tell me how you know this person?"
Lianyi lowered her head again, hesitating and struggling.
"Teacher Wu, to use the words of you Chinese, I have always been kind to women, so I didn't use those torture instruments on you. If you were so ignorant of the current situation, you should know what would happen to a beautiful and elegant woman like you if she was sent to the military camp."
The Japanese officers had smiles on their faces and uttered the most cruel threats.
Lianyi raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale, obviously she understood what the other party meant.
"You can't do this! I am under the protection of Lord Anping."
She continued to struggle.
"That was conferred by President Shi, but it has nothing to do with us, Japan! He is still participating in the peace talks, and we will settle accounts with him sooner or later."
The last line of protection was ruthlessly torn apart by the other party. Lianyi's body trembled slightly, and she bit her lips tightly, as if she was unwilling to compromise.
"Take her away! This woman is yours as a reward!"
The officer seemed to lose his patience and simply waved his hand.
Lianyi was dragged out of the door again without any preparation. This time she did not choose to remain silent. She held on to the iron railing door with both hands. It seemed that the last line of defense had also been broken. She said in a somewhat shrill voice:
"I say! I say! Please don't take me away!"
The officer waved his hand in satisfaction, letting Lianyi sit back in the chair. He also considerately brought her a cup of hot tea before speaking:
"Do you recognize the body just now?"
“Yes!”
Lianyi held the teacup in her hands with trembling hands, her knuckles turned a little white, as if she was trying to absorb some warmth from the hot cup.
"Tell me!"
"I met him at the peace talks. He is from the Kuomintang."
"Did he follow you to Fuyun Building?"
"I don't know."
"Can you tell me why you suddenly decided to go to Fuyun Building today?"
"I received a note asking me to go to Fuyunlou to buy some side dishes, so I went."
"You didn't even know who gave you the note, and you went there?"
"I know!"
"Who is it?"
