Every time a wave of overwhelming drowsiness washed over him, an interrogator would prick his sensitive spot hard with a ring of fine needles, instantly waking him up with a sharp, piercing pain.
Zhao Ziliang quietly looked at Gu Wenshi, who was already in agony. Based on his experience, he knew that this man's willpower could hold out for another two days.
However, Gu Wenshi did not have the will to die. Otherwise, given his injuries, it would not have been difficult for him to commit suicide. From this point of view, it is believed that it is only a matter of time before he speaks.
Zhao Ziliang coughed lightly, his tone amiable, and he spoke in a heartfelt manner: "Officer Gu, I've told you everything I need to say. Think about it carefully. What's the use of forcing yourself to hold on? You can hold on for a day, two days, or even seven or eight days, but what's the point? It's just a matter of time."
"As long as you ask, I can guarantee your personal safety, give you a sum of money, and return all the property you hid in that small mountain village. You can go wherever you want and live out the rest of your life there."
When Zhao Ziliang mentioned the wealth of his hiding place, Gu Wenshi's eyes, which were narrowed to slits, opened slightly before closing again.
However, this slight change did not escape Zhao Ziliang's keen observation. He had already discussed with Ning Zhiheng that Gu Wenshi's only weakness was his love of money.
During the long period he was missing, he hid in that safe house in that small mountain village, guarding the wealth he had accumulated over half a lifetime. It's conceivable that he still had a strong attachment to the past.
Seeing Gu Wenshi regain his composure, Zhao Ziliang smiled coldly. It's easy to deal with people as long as they have weaknesses. He was about to use psychological tactics again.
At this moment, the interrogation room door opened, and an officer from the action department walked in and whispered a few words in Zhao Ziliang's ear.
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang's face lit up with joy. He turned to Gu Wenshi and said earnestly, "Think it over carefully. Think about how you should conduct yourself in the future. You are still young, and you have a lot of good times ahead of you. Don't let it become too late to regret it!"
Then he instructed the interrogator next to him, "Keep a close eye on him, don't let him fall asleep!"
The interrogators nodded quickly. Zhao Ziliang, the head of the action section, was gaining increasing influence in the military intelligence investigation department, and no one dared to disregard his words.
After Zhao Ziliang finished speaking, he got up and left the room, asking the team members behind him, "Team Leader Ning, have you brought the suspect back? Has the interrogation begun?"
"We just brought them back. There are two women and one man in total. One of them is a couple, and the woman is single. We're about to interrogate her!" the team member replied quickly.
Zhao Ziliang strode forward, turned a corner, and arrived at the door of another interrogation room. He pushed the door open and went inside.
In the interrogation room, Ning Zhiheng was talking quietly with Yu Cheng. Across from them, a young woman was tied to a thick wooden stake, her mouth tightly gagged with a rag.
"Old Yu, how about this? Let's divide up the tasks, each of us interrogating the targets we've identified, and then we'll summarize the results. This will save time. What do you think?" Ning Zhiheng said in a low voice.
In fact, he was almost certain of Kang Chunxue's identity, but Yu Cheng was also very confident in his goal and thought he should ask about it first. Ning Zhiheng, of course, would not argue over such a small matter and readily agreed.
Yu Cheng immediately nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Alright, Zhiheng, let's see who catches this real spy first."
He appeared to be joking, but in reality, he wanted to be the first to take down the case and save face for himself and the intelligence department.
For so long, the intelligence department has been suppressed by Ning Zhiheng and can't hold their heads up. They don't say it, but of course they still have their own thoughts. In addition, Ning Zhiheng just gave them a hard time this time. Even though Yu Cheng has cultivated for many years and has learned a lot from Gu Zhengqi, and has developed a thick skin, he is still not convinced!
Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly. With his shrewdness, he naturally understood Yu Cheng's meaning. He didn't say much, but just smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, then you'd better hurry up, or I'll beat you to it!"
Yu Cheng didn't say much, got up and walked towards the door, just in time to see Zhao Ziliang push the door open and enter. He quickly stood at attention and smiled, "Section Chief Zhao, you've arrived!"
Zhao Ziliang didn't say much to him, just nodded slightly, and then walked straight towards Ning Zhiheng.
Yu Cheng knew that Zhao Ziliang had always been like this, and coupled with his long-standing dislike for the intelligence department and his bluntness, he didn't linger any longer. He quickly left the house, ready to interrogate another target immediately.
Upon seeing Zhao Ziliang enter, Ning Zhiheng quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Section Chief, what brings you here?"
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, then found a chair behind him and sat down, looking exhausted. He said, "I've stayed up with him for several more hours. At my age, I really can't keep up with him."
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhiheng sat down next to Zhao Ziliang and said in a low voice, "Is this kid really that hard to bear? He's not that delicate, is he? Should we try some more methods?"
He had been trying to interrogate Gu Wenshi himself, but everyone felt that they were being too harsh and dared not entrust such an important criminal to their own interrogation.
“The situation isn’t that serious,” Zhao Ziliang said, gently rubbing his face to clear his mind. “It’s only a matter of time before he speaks up. Just like you said, this person’s weakness is obvious: he’s greedy for money. It’s nothing more than coercion and enticement. I estimate he can hold out for at most two more days.”
Ning Zhiheng nodded. At that moment, the interrogation room door opened again, and Wang Shucheng strode in.
