Ning Zhiheng's face showed extreme impatience, and he said coldly, "Geng Boming, my patience is limited. You must answer every question I ask honestly. If you dare to take any chances again, I will cripple all your toes. Do you understand?"
The pain in his fingers was still excruciating. Geng Boming couldn't imagine letting this torment continue; he absolutely couldn't endure it any longer. He pleaded urgently, "Ask away, I'll tell you everything. Can you please let go of my fingers? It hurts so much, I can't take it anymore!"
He felt as if those ten iron skewers were piercing his heart, and the pain caused his body to convulse uncontrollably.
Ning Zhiheng narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint in them. He reached out and grabbed the iron skewer in Geng Boming's left hand, twisting it violently. Geng Boming immediately let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Everyone in the room was startled by the sudden scream and couldn't help but sigh for Geng Boming.
Ning Zhiheng smiled coldly and said disdainfully, "A prisoner like you wants to negotiate with me!"
After saying that, he threw away the iron skewer in his hand, waited for Geng Boming to recover from the extreme pain, and then asked, "When did you join the Japanese spy organization?"
"In 1922, while I was studying in Japan, I was coerced into joining them!" Geng Boming replied weakly.
"You're quite the veteran spy. Which spy group do you belong to?" Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but mock, then asked.
"I was directly under the command of Yuji Imai, the head of the intelligence group of the Special Higher Police Headquarters of Japan, and was only responsible for the financial operations of Yong'an Bank!"
"You're not online?" Ning Zhiheng asked, his tone questioning.
"It's true. My job doesn't involve intelligence gathering, so there's really no need for handover. I'm only responsible for allocating funds and erasing traces of financial transactions. Every time, I act on instructions from the radio channel at 11 PM!" Geng Boming hurriedly explained, afraid that Ning Zhiheng wouldn't believe him.
At this point, Geng Boming had completely lost all resistance and answered every question Ning Zhiheng asked without reservation.
The interrogation was progressing smoothly and was soon coming to an end. At this point, Ning Zhi asked a few final questions.
"How did you find out that you had been exposed? Who notified you and how?"
Geng Boming said in a low, hoarse voice, "Three days ago, I went to work as usual. Around 10:30 a.m., someone called me with an urgent notification. Through the agreed-upon code, I knew that I had been exposed, so I changed into the cleaning worker's clothes that I had prepared beforehand and sneaked out of Yong'an Bank!"
"Why didn't you try to escape, and instead stayed in Nanjing?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
“I wanted to go too, so I headed straight to the train station. I didn’t expect to stay there for two hours while waiting for my train. Then you started the search. I saw the police entering the station to search, so I had no choice but to run away.”
I arrived at the safe house I had previously set up, but soon you launched a city-wide manhunt, posting my image everywhere. I never imagined you would go to such lengths to find me. I couldn't go anywhere else and was trapped in the safe house until you came knocking on my door.
It was only then that everyone realized that Ning Zhiheng's real purpose was to launch a city-wide manhunt to find Gu Wenshi, which caught Geng Boming off guard and trapped him in Nanjing. In the end, he was even more unlucky and was reported by his extremely curious neighbor Dong Jian. In less than three days, he fell into Ning Zhiheng's hands!
"What time exactly did that call come in, and what was the code word?" Ning Zhiheng pressed.
"It was around 10:30. The code message was that a Mr. Liu was asking for a loan of 123,000 yuan and invited me to dinner at Liansheng Restaurant! This was the code message we had agreed on beforehand. When I heard this code message, I knew I had been exposed and had to leave immediately!"
The interrogation had reached this point, and there was nothing more to ask. So Ning Zhiheng turned to ask Zhao Ziliang for his opinion. Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, stood up, and walked out of the house.
Ning Zhiheng signaled to the interrogators to pack up and leave, and he and Yu Cheng followed Zhao Ziliang out of the interrogation room.
After leaving the interrogation room, Zhao Ziliang asked, "Zhiheng, do you think Geng Boming still has any value to be used?"
