"Team leader, I've brought the person back. They're waiting in the room next door," Wang Shucheng reported in a low voice.
Following Ning Zhiheng's instructions, he rushed to Anhe Shop and brought back the shopkeeper couple, then quickly reported back to Ning Zhiheng.
Upon hearing Wang Shucheng's words, Ning Zhiheng raised his voice slightly and said to Zhao Ziliang, "Section Chief, one of my witnesses has arrived. She saw the suspect with her own eyes, and the arrest of Kang Chunxue this time was entirely due to her identification. I'll make the arrangements."
Zhao Ziliang didn't say anything, but simply gestured for him to do as he pleased, and Ning Zhiheng quickly left the room.
At this moment, Kang Chunxue, who had been tied to the wooden stake, was shocked when she heard Ning Zhiheng's words.
It's astonishing that someone would identify her to her face. The couple were already in a state of infiltration and had not participated in any intelligence operations, so how could they have been exposed?
Thinking back to when she was arrested, Ning Zhiheng asked her about her whereabouts at 10 a.m. six days ago. Although she was shocked at the time, she still had a glimmer of hope.
That alarm call lasted less than half a minute. I even walked two blocks away from my home and used a public phone in an unfamiliar shop. In the vast sea of people in Nanjing, how could the other party find me so quickly?
Could it be that in just half a minute, someone actually remembered my face? How is that possible? How could the agents of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department be able to seize on such a tiny oversight and find me in such a short time? It's simply unbelievable!
Just as her heart was filled with boundless turmoil, Ning Zhiheng quickly returned to the interrogation room. He nodded slightly to Zhao Ziliang, signaling the start of the interrogation.
The interrogators immediately removed the gag from Kang Chunxue's mouth. Kang Chunxue immediately felt much better and took a deep breath before looking at Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng stepped forward and stood in front of Kang Chunxue, saying coldly, "Kang Chunxue, this is the interrogation room of the Military Intelligence Investigation Department. Few people who come here come out alive. I think you are well aware of your current situation."
Now I'm asking you, what is your true identity? Is your husband, Xing Lixuan, your accomplice? What is the superior organization you belong to? And what espionage activities are you carrying out? Answer these questions one by one. Let me remind you again, don't take any chances. I don't want to lay a hand on women, but Japanese spies are an exception!
Kang Chunxue looked completely innocent and bewildered. She pleaded with Ning Zhiheng through sobs, "Sir, I'm just an ordinary citizen, a weak woman. I don't understand a word you're saying. I just want to go home. Please, let me go! I haven't done anything!"
As she said this, tears streamed down her face, and she looked completely vulnerable and tearful.
Ning Zhiheng glared at him and cursed fiercely, "You ungrateful wretch! Since you want to resist to the end, then try my methods first."
After saying that, he instructed the interrogators beside him: "Same old procedure, put on the iron slings and cripple her hands. I want to see how tough her mouth really is!"
The interrogators now know that Team Leader Ning's interrogation style is always ruthless and brutal. He starts with the heaviest torture without any transition period. Once a person has been interrogated by him, he is basically crippled.
These interrogators had interrogated countless suspects, and they showed no mercy even to female prisoners. Following Ning Zhiheng's instructions, they fixed Kang Chunxue's fingers and palms to a thick wooden board, then skillfully inserted a long, thin iron skewer into her fingernails with a sudden, forceful thrust. Immediately, a shrill scream came from Kang Chunxue's mouth.
However, the interrogators remained unmoved. They picked up a wooden hammer and gently tapped the tip of the iron rod, slowly wedging it in little by little. Each tap brought Kang Chunxue excruciating pain!
Kang Chunxue let out painful cries, her voice growing weaker and weaker as one iron skewer after another was driven deeper into the hole.
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, and the interrogators immediately grabbed a bucket of cold water and poured it over Kang Chunxue's head. The cold water instantly brought Kang Chunxue back to consciousness.
Ning Zhiheng stepped forward again and asked softly, "Kang Chunxue, the opportunity is still in your hands. As long as you speak up, everything can be resolved."
He turned back and pointed to the various torture instruments hanging on the walls of the interrogation room, saying again, "See? This is just the beginning. After this, every minute and every second will feel incredibly long. The extreme pain will be endless and without end. You will go crazy with despair. Believe me, you simply won't be able to endure it!"
I'm asking for monthly votes again! I just can't seem to get through the design on my computer; my mind is filled with images of the Republic of China era. Ugh, whatever, I'll update first! I finally managed to write a chapter. Ten thousand words a day is just too difficult for me!
