Chapter 509 Interrogation of Wei Xin
509
The two men were facing each other on the sea. Suddenly, the man swam towards Lin Cuicui like a nimble seal. Lin Cuicui raised her pistol and warned, "Don't come over here! If you come any closer, I'll really shoot!"
But the man was not moved at all, instead he increased his speed. Just as the man was about to pounce on her, Lin Cuicui fired again, this time hitting the man in the shoulder.
The man screamed in pain, but still did not give up. He gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward, grabbing Lin Cuicui's gun hand, and the two began to wrestle in the water.
Lin Cuicui couldn't swim. She had to take care of herself in the sea while also fighting with the man. In a moment of carelessness, her pistol fell in the chaos and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Without her weapon, Lin Cuicui could only rely on her tenacious will to fight the man. It wasn't that she didn't want to take out her gun again. It was mainly because she couldn't hit him even if she did.
Her marksmanship wasn't great to begin with, and now she was in the ocean, she figured if she didn't have her spiritual power, she would have sunk long ago. The two of them tumbled in the water, sometimes sinking, sometimes surfacing, each collision accompanied by a huge splash.
Suddenly, an undercurrent struck, sucking them into a huge vortex. Lin Cuicui felt her body being pulled by a powerful force, unable to break free.
The man was also a little flustered by this force, but he still did not let go of Lin Cuicui.
In the vortex, Lin Cuicui's consciousness began to blur. She felt her body getting heavier and heavier, and her breathing became more and more difficult.
Just when she was about to despair, she heard shouting from afar. Hearing someone calling her name, Lin Cuicui immediately cheered up.
She struggled to open her eyes and saw a large ship approaching. The people on board were waving their arms, as if they were looking for something.
Hope ignited in Lin Cuicui's heart. She used up her last bit of strength and struggled hard, trying to attract the attention of the people on the boat...
The man was completely exhausted. He hadn't expected that a woman who was already very weak, even if she had done farm work for many years, would have no strength left after a year or two of not working. He could easily control her by himself.
However, to be on the safe side, they still dispatched five people. One person drove a speedboat to meet the enemy, and the other four stayed on the boat. However, while on the boat, he saw that one of his companions was seriously injured. The companion who had just been meeting him on the speedboat had also died.
The man looked at Lin Cuicui as if she were a dead person. If the mission did not require him to kill this woman, he would have killed her by any means.
However, this woman was extremely strong, and perhaps she knew something in advance, as she actually had several guns on her. This is what led to his injury.
Lin Cuicui no longer had the energy to fight the man. She gradually relaxed, and the man, believing she had no strength left to struggle, relaxed his guard a bit. However, he also heard the shouts from the ship in the distance. They had to leave quickly.
At this moment, a gunshot rang out, and the man looked at the trembling woman holding the pistol in disbelief. The man never thought that he would die at the hands of such a woman.
Watching the man slowly sink until he disappeared, Lin Cuicui finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she put the pistol into the storage ring and let herself be carried away by the sea powerlessly.
Before she fell into a coma, she was thinking about what exactly was Commander Kang's plan? Why did no one come to help her even though she was in this state?
In reality, Lin Cuicui had truly wronged Commander Kang. Commander Kang's plan was meticulous. Not only had he stationed personnel on Lin Cuicui's boat, he had also secretly deployed several other vessels along the coastline, where speedboats and larger ships could escape.
However, the man in cadre uniform on the ship was a section chief at the Nandao Sugar Factory, and they had no idea he was a spy. So when Lin Cuicui was clashing with the "old woman," several soldiers had already approached.
But there were always people who tried to stop them, intentionally or unintentionally. They couldn't be too obvious before the conflict happened, so they were a step slower when the man in cadre uniform put his gun to Lin Cuicui's waist.
Having said all that, in fact, Lin Cuicui's fall into the water only happened in a split second. The speedboat was moving too fast, and they were entangled by the people on the big boat, unable to escape.
Fortunately, the signal was sent out in time, and the intercepting ship in the distance took action, finally retrieving Lin Cuicui from the sea. Seeing that she was unconscious, everyone was really busy for a while.
Everyone on the ship was detained. All three nations still had spies remaining, and with the truth serum, South Island was sure to eliminate another wave of spies. However, the danger to the Tang family remained.
Wei Xin was also taken back to the army and locked up in the interrogation room.
Even in winter, the interrogation room in South Island was filled with a damp and musty smell. An old incandescent lamp crackled overhead, casting flickering light and shadows.
Wei Xin sat on a mottled wooden chair with his hands handcuffed behind his back, but he still maintained a calm demeanor, and there was even a hint of grievance in his eyes.
Behind the interrogation table, Zhou Zhikai, the head of the Second Regiment in charge of the interrogation, had a solemn expression on his face, and two experienced interrogators sat beside him.
A thick stack of documents lay before them, including a record of Wei Xin's recent suspicious behavior. "Wei Xin, truthfully confess your relationship with those spies and seek leniency," Zhou Zhikai spoke first, his voice deep and commanding.
Wei Xin raised her head slightly, an innocent look on her face. "Captain Zhou, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just an ordinary military family member. Meeting those people on the ship this time was completely an accident. I'm a victim too!"
Her tone was sincere, and if she hadn't investigated in advance, others might have been deceived by her.
An interrogator slammed his hand on the table, shaking the enamel pot on it. "Stop playing dumb! We have records of your unusual behavior at the dock and your interactions with the agents on the ship. How dare you say it was an accident?"
Wei Xin seemed puzzled, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Comrade, I'm just on my way to the dock as usual, what's wrong with that?
"I fought back against the bad guys on the boat. Look, I'm still injured. Besides, when I was on the boat, I saw an old woman. How could I have known she was a spy in disguise?" She twisted her shoulders, indicating that she was injured in the melee.
Zhou Zhikai stared into her eyes, his gaze as sharp as a torch, as if to penetrate her disguise. "Then how do you explain your behavior in front of the grocery store? Did you fall down on purpose to buy time?"
Zhou Zhikai was also a veteran interrogator in the South Island Corps, so he naturally knew how to strike the right balance. In fact, he felt sorry for Yang Shengjun. He was working hard on the front lines to earn military merit, but back home, he had a wife who was holding him back.
Even if he works hard, there is no possibility of promotion.
Hearing Zhou Zhikai's words, Wei Xin's heart tightened, but his face remained calm. "Oh, Captain Zhou, you are wronging me. I really just accidentally sprained my ankle. At the time, I didn't think it was a big deal. We didn't even have a break in front of the grocery store.
"Captain Zhou, what's wrong with me?" she said, wiping away her tears with a look of deliberate grievance.
Captain Zhou kept watching Wei Xin, knowing full well that this was a tough nut to crack. "Comrade Wei Xin, this morning you and Comrade Lin Cuicui went to the dock to catch a boat. There was clearly a normal road, so why did you take an alley? And you unexpectedly sprained your ankle?"
Wei Xin seemed to have suffered a great injustice. She suppressed her grievance and wiped the tears from her face, then looked at Captain Zhou with her big watery eyes.
"Captain Zhou, Cuicui finished packing a little late this morning. I was afraid I'd miss the time, so I took Cuicui along that small path. It saves a lot of walking."
Captain Zhou continued, "But we clearly had plenty of time back then, and you clearly lost quite a bit of time after you sprained your ankle."
Wei Xin said stubbornly, "Captain Zhou, I can't control what you think, but as a military wife, I know what can and can't be done. I can't admit to something I didn't do."
