Chapter 38 Interrogation of Prisoners
In order to get Bai Yangfan to the county town as soon as possible, Lu Jingheng calmly replied: "Okay! I promise you, I will come with me right away."
"etc!"
"What? You want to go back on your word?"
"You're not going to regret it. You have to restore the mechanism to its original position and perform the whole show."
Lu Jingheng understood, and watching Bai Yangfan trying to push the stool towards the wall, he came over to help.
Soon, the wall returned to its original state.
Taking Bai Yangfan with him, Lu Jingheng took a shortcut to the county town. An hour and a half later, Bai Yangfan was sent to a simple interrogation room.
Sitting inside was a prisoner, the one who had nearly injured her that day. Separately, sat Lu Jingheng and two other comrades. They politely nodded to Bai Yangfan, signaling that she could begin.
Bai Yangfan had interrogated prisoners a lot in her previous life, but due to her identity, she didn't want to show too much, for fear of arousing the suspicion of that bastard Lu Jingheng.
She had revealed too much in front of him and couldn't reveal any more.
"Where are you from?"
Bai Yangfan spoke fluently in the neighboring language, which startled the prisoner. He raised his head and looked at her carefully.
Then he asked in disbelief: "How do you know our language? Who are you?"
He glanced at the prisoner with disdain and didn't answer his question. Instead, he said casually, "Let me guess your motive for coming to our country. I saw you two groups fighting to the death in that valley the other day. It must be for the gold hidden by Hu Damazi, right?"
Upon hearing this, the prisoner became excited, his expression froze, and his eyes became bigger than copper bells.
He kept asking Bai Yangfan, "How did you know? How on earth did you know? Even the people here don't know, how do you know?"
Bai Yangfan glanced at the dog man and his men lightly, still looking at the prisoner with contempt, smiling contemptuously and sneering.
"It's no fun to deceive yourself. If I know what you know, how could anyone here not know it? Have you forgotten who captured you? We've already inspected and shipped away that batch of gold. You and your men died in vain.
In view of your frank confession, I can tell them to send you back to your country. But you have to exchange a secret. Tell me, besides the gold, what else do you want?"
Bai Yangfan kept talking to the prisoner in a gibberish-like manner, and Lu Jingheng and his colleagues couldn't understand a word he said. He was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare show it on his face, fearing that she would quit halfway.
Lu Jingheng knew this lady's temper very well. If you let her come out, you have to listen to her, otherwise she will just ignore you.
No matter who you are, you probably won't get any good results, and they will be left groping in the dark.
Without a second thought, the prisoner cried, "No more, no more. We came here just for that batch of gold. We don't know anything else."
"How did you find out the whereabouts of that batch of gold?"
"I found out by chance while hunting." The gold had all been taken away, and the prisoner felt there was nothing to hide. "The four of us are hunters from the same village. One time, we went into the mountains and it started raining, so we found a cave to take shelter.
We discovered many bodies in the cave. Out of curiosity, we began to examine their surroundings and saw words carved into the cave wall. We carefully copied them, separating them one by one and asking others for their advice. Only then did we realize it was a sentence.
Bai Yangfan's face was serious: "What?"
Prisoner: "The gold is in the mountains of Liujia Village."
Seeing that Bai Yangfan had no further questions, the prisoner continued, "Based on this statement, the four of us came to Liujia Village together. After a difficult search, we finally found the entrance to the cave."
"Huh!" Bai Yangfan sneered, "Are you four fighting because of an uneven division of the spoils?"
"Yes!" the prisoner confessed. "Everyone claimed to have made the greatest contribution, and then they started arguing, and then they started fighting."
Glancing at the prisoner, Bai Yangfan gave him a thumbs-up: "You're really good, you know how to play dead. Those three were too honest, they were all beaten to death."
The prisoner felt miserable: "..." I might as well be dead. I've been caught and interrogated by you. Who would I be better off than? I'll be extradited back. I'll lose all my face in this life.
After asking all the questions he needed to ask, Bai Yangfan walked up to Lu Jingheng, looked at him and his colleagues, and began to make his statement.
"He and his companions were hunters who stumbled upon a cave filled with corpses and discovered the secret of 'gold in the mountains of Liujia Village.' They came and found the location, but when they couldn't divide the loot, they started fighting.
This man was cunning and escaped death by pretending to be dead, but he didn't expect to be caught by you. He said the gold is in the cave, you take people to find it! The rest is none of my business, you can handle it yourself, I should go back now.
After giving his instructions in a few words, Bai Yangfan turned and was about to leave, but Lu Jingheng grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, I want to go back too. Let's go together."
Glancing at the hand that was holding his arm, Bai Yangfan stared at Lu Jingheng intently and whispered, "If I were you, I would immediately send someone to retrieve the item. Only when it's in my hands can I feel safe. There's still a difference between local forces and local armed forces!"
Lu Jingheng was stunned. He felt that the woman in front of him was becoming increasingly incomprehensible to him. She even understood this? Indeed, what they had unearthed this time was too eye-catching.
If the local authorities interfered, they would gain nothing. However, he had discovered the item, so he couldn't let the local authorities take advantage of it. He had to get people to clean it out as soon as possible and send a plane to transport it back to Kyoto immediately.
Letting go of Bai Yangfan, Lu Jingheng smiled, revealing his white teeth: "Thank you! You are right to remind me, I will do it immediately."
Bai Yangfan was stunned: "..."Did you take the wrong medicine? What does it have to do with me whether you carry out the order or not? I'm reminding you to let me go quickly, nothing else.
Lu Jingheng didn't think so. He felt that Bai Yangfan's reminder made his mind clear up instantly, and he had a principle in his mind about what to do and what not to do.
This matter is of great importance and must be carried out immediately, quickly, steadily and secretly.
Since cars couldn't enter the mountain, he could only take people to carry those things out. If he wasn't afraid of exposing Bai Yangfan's secret and bringing disaster to her, he would have wanted her to accompany him to Kyoto and transport the gold back safely.
Who could make things appear and disappear without a trace? Unfortunately, this was impossible. Bai Yangfan would definitely not help him.
He couldn't do that either, as it would bring endless trouble to the woman.
"Let me take you out! Don't take the small road home, take the main road! It's safer." After saying that, Lu Jingheng felt that his words were simply redundant.
With Bai Yangfan's skills, who could possibly make her feel insecure? It should be someone else who feels insecure, right?
