So that's how it is. In this era, any injury carries the risk of death, because wound infection is a fatal hurdle. Without effective anti-infective and anti-inflammatory drugs, one almost entirely relies on their own immune system to tough it out.
As for the extremely precious sulfonamide drugs, they would never be used on prisoners unless absolutely necessary. Throughout the year, countless prisoners died in the interrogation department's jail for this reason.
This is one of the reasons why it is rumored that no one arrested by the Military Intelligence Investigation Service has a chance of getting out alive. Because once arrested, they are tortured and injured, and there are no good medical conditions afterwards. Survival depends entirely on luck!
"Then Takano Ryota, right away!" Ning Zhiheng nodded and gave the order.
"yes!"
Soon in the interrogation room, Ning Zhiheng saw Takano Ryota, who had become extremely thin. His wounds, which had just healed, were still clearly visible. The swelling on his face had subsided, but he was still in shackles and walked with a limp.
Seeing that Ning Zhiheng was looking at him coldly, Takano Ryota paused, then slowly walked to the center of the interrogation room and quietly waited for Ning Zhiheng's questioning.
"Takano Ryota, you previously confessed that you received instructions from the Special Higher Police Headquarters and issued three alert missions in the past few years. The most recent one was in June of last year, when you drew a triangle mark on a cypress tree in the southern part of the city. The specific location was on the east side of the Octagonal Street, right?"
"Yes!" Takano Ryota answered honestly, but the two teeth that Ning Zhiheng had kicked out left gaps, making his speech sound a little off-key and awkward.
"If I asked you to go look for it now, could you still find that cypress tree?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
Looking into Ning Zhiheng's deep, unfathomable eyes, Takano Ryota dared not hide anything and nodded, saying, "I remember!"
This was a location specifically designated by the Special Higher Police Headquarters, and only a little over a year had passed, so of course he wouldn't forget it.
Ning Zhiheng stood up and walked out of the interrogation room. Then Sun Jiacheng led several action team members in, grabbed Takano Ryota, dragged him out of the interrogation room, and pushed him into a car. The cars sped off to Bajiaojing Street.
Upon arrival at their destination, Ning Zhiheng and the others got out of the car, and Takano Ryota was brought before him.
Ning Zhiheng looked at him and said, "Find that cypress tree and point out the marked location to me."
After saying that, he threatened with a sinister look in his eyes: "Don't try anything funny, or you'll end up like Kawada Misa."
Upon hearing the name Kawada Misa, Takano Ryota's heart tightened. He didn't say much, but lowered his head and limped forward. Many passersby cast curious glances at him, but were chased away by the team members beside him.
Before long, Ryota Takano arrived at a tall cypress tree by the roadside. The cypress tree was very thick and must have been quite old.
Ning Zhiheng followed them to the cypress tree and asked, "Is this the one?"
Ryota Takano nodded silently, then walked to the other side of the cypress tree and pointed to the trunk.
Ning Zhiheng walked over and, sure enough, there was still a fairly large triangular engraving on this side, which must have been carved very deeply back then. However, more than a year had passed, and it was now faintly visible.
Ning Zhiheng lifted his leg and pulled out a short blade from his leg, clearly carving a triangle according to the original marks.
Then he turned and asked, "Is that how it is?"
Ryota Takano nodded, not understanding what Ning Zhiheng meant by doing this.
Ning Zhiheng then asked, "Was this position specifically requested?"
Ryota Takano replied again, "This location was indeed specifically requested; it must be on the east side of the tree trunk, which is the back side of the road."
Ning Zhiheng didn't ask any more questions. He simply waved his hand, and several team members immediately stepped forward and took Takano Ryota away.
Ning Zhiheng stood next to the cypress tree and looked eastward. Sure enough, he saw several houses in his eyes. This must be Xiangling Lane.
