Chapter 781: Xibingku Hotel (Second update, please subscribe)
how so?
Liu Qingen sat on the long chair in a daze, completely dumbfounded.
Watching the military police busying around in the office through the iron bars, he had no idea what was going on.
He had hardly had any contact with the military police in the past.
In the Ming Dynasty, the police were responsible for public security in large cities, and the military police were responsible for public security in small cities and rural areas. This was because small cities and rural areas could not afford local police. Sending national military police was the only choice for maintaining order, especially in the former Chilean and Argentine regions, where the military police were needed to maintain "order" in the countryside.
However, this does not mean that there are no gendarmes in big cities. Big cities have both police and gendarmes, but they are not responsible for public security management and criminal investigation. In small places, both are left to the gendarmes.
Trapped in the gendarmerie's cage, Liu Qingen was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on.
Sun Tao, Li An and the others were more curious and surprised. Not to mention them, even Li Dekai, a member of the team, came over and stared at the table in amazement.
"Is this the thing you were talking about that can fire like a machine gun? It uses a belt?"
The military police are soldiers, and they have certainly seen Gatling.
"Yes, sir, the guy said he was an engineer at the arsenal, he designed the gun, and he is conducting tests. Here is his ID..."
After looking at the documents, Li Dekai spoke directly.
"Let's hand it over to the Security Bureau. There is a confidentiality system in the arsenal. Let alone a gun, he won't even be allowed to take a piece of paper out."
"That's right. Maybe he smuggled the stuff out of the arsenal and planned to sell it for a good price!"
"If that happens, we'll have accomplished something great!"
The conversation between the military police made Liu Qingen hurriedly explain himself.
"Sir, sir, I didn't bring the gun from the arsenal. I designed it myself at home. I really designed it myself..."
Although Liu Qingen explained over and over again, the military police simply ignored them.
This is 50... bucks for the action!
If you catch a spy, the reward starts at 50 yuan.
Uh...it seems like this is their job, no bonus...
Less than half an hour after the call was made, a black Maxima van stopped in front of the gendarmerie, and then several guys in plain clothes walked in. The leader asked as soon as he entered the room.
"Hello, we are from the Imperial Security Bureau, and here are my ID cards."
When the visitor unfolded the leather ID bag in his hand, he saw a copper shield-shaped badge on it. If he looked closely, he could even see the words "Shield and Sword of the Empire" on the ribbon around the shield. This was the badge of the Imperial Security Bureau.
The Imperial Security Bureau is a newly established security agency. Although it is unfamiliar to the outside world, the gendarmerie is not unfamiliar with them. After all, there are some cooperative relationships between the two sides.
Moreover, according to the division of powers, after arresting the spy, the gendarmerie needs to hand over the suspected spy to the Imperial Security Bureau, which is why they contacted the Security Bureau.
Are they from the Imperial Security Bureau?
What is the Imperial Security Bureau?
Although Liu Qingen had no idea what kind of organization this was, or who they were, when the cell door was opened, he still nervously explained and repeated what he had said before.
But the man just handcuffed him with an expressionless face and then put a black hood on him.
…
Waiting. After getting off the bus, Liu Qingen felt like he was locked in a room, and then he kept waiting. In the darkness, time had no meaning, he just waited quietly.
How long have you waited?
Just when he was about to lose track of time, the door opened. Then he was helped out of the room. Although he couldn't see anything, he could tell from the echo that this was a corridor. Soon, he was taken to a room.
Only then was the hood taken off. After adjusting to the light for a while, he saw a table in front of him. There were two people sitting behind the table. One of them was looking at him with serious interest.
"sit down!"
The people around him said to him.
"Sir, I..."
As soon as the person sat down, he heard the other person say.
"Put your palms down under your thighs!"
As the interrogator, Jing Zaigui gave the order directly as he did in the past.
Liu Qingen nervously put his hands under his legs, then looked at the other person nervously. He had no idea where this was.
"Liu Qingen, whose ancestral home is Chaozhou, Guangdong, joined the immigrant ship "Xinxing" in 1863, was admitted to the Higher Mechanical School in 1867, and entered the Nanhua Arsenal after graduation in 1869. He is now an assistant engineer in the factory's research room..."
Jing Zaigui asked while reading the contents of the file.
"Logically speaking, you can be said to have a bright future! There should be no need to sacrifice your future to bring things out of the factory!"
"Sir, sir, I am really an engineer at the arsenal. I really made this gun in my spare time. It was definitely not brought from the factory. You can go to the factory and my home to investigate."
During the suspect's explanation, Jing Zaigui carefully observed his expression. Although he looked nervous, this nervousness was completely different from the nervousness of a criminal being caught.
"Don't worry, the Security Bureau arrests people based on evidence. We will never wrongly accuse a good person."
Of course, Xibingku can also turn a good person into a bad person within two hours. However, Jing Zaigui will not do this kind of thing himself. He is just the first step of the interrogation. If he can't get the answer, he will naturally transfer it to the next level. After interrogation at each level, the answer will naturally come out.
"Yes, yes, I know, I know, the government will never wrongly accuse anyone."
Know what?
Do you know that the government will not wrongly accuse anyone?
But this place... Liu Qingen instinctively thought of the Jinyiwei he had seen in history books. Could this be a government office like the Jinyiwei?
"Of course, I won't let a bad guy go. By the way, I'm quite interested in your invention. Let's talk about it together."
Interrogation is an art, and Jing Zaigui is undoubtedly a master in it. He can make basic judgments through simple chats.
"Locking means the sear rises and falls. When the bolt moves backward, the sear moves backward with the gun, and it will automatically fall down when it moves back to the limit groove..."
When talking about professional matters, Liu Qingen quickly calmed down. When he stretched out his hand to gesture, the recorder reminded him.
"Put your hands under your legs, palms up..."
Before the recorder finished speaking, Jing Zaigui laughed.
"It doesn't matter, just keep talking."
However, after only chatting for more than ten minutes, Jing Zaigui had already judged that this person was definitely not a spy or a guy who stole secrets from the factory. He was just an inventor who used his spare time to tinker with inventions.
In this case, there is no need to preserve the sweat pattern.
Pressing with the thighs with the palms facing downwards is to allow the sweat from the suspect's palms to soak into the cloth pad of the chair. The cloth pad will be sealed in a sealed jar. Even if the suspect is released, if some special incidents occur in the future, the police dog can sniff and hunt him down.
The guy in front of me... is not a spy at all. Although he needs to be kept, he will never be used.
Almost half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Someone brought Jing Zaigui a file. He opened it and found the results of his colleagues' investigations at the Arsenal and Liu Qingen's home. As he had guessed, this was a misunderstanding. Not to mention that the Arsenal did not have similar projects, the tens of thousands of sketches and drawings and the piles of discarded parts in his home fully explained it all.
He is truly an inventor!
This misunderstanding is a bit too big. Fortunately, nothing unpleasant happened before. Of course, nothing unpleasant will happen at his level.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Jing Zaigui's face.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, all the misunderstandings have been explained. We will have a car to take you away in a while."
"What? I, I can walk!"
Liu Qingen said in surprise.
"Yes."
"Then my gun..."
"You can take it away. Okay, Mr. Liu, this is just a misunderstanding. It's better to conduct such experiments in the factory in the future. After all, such good things must be kept secret!"
"Yes, yes, I will pay attention to it next time."
When Liu Qingen left by car again, he was still wearing the black hood. When the hood was taken off, the car had already arrived at his home. When he was about to get off the car, perhaps out of curiosity, he asked the driver.
"Sir, where did we go just now?"
The driver said expressionlessly.
"Sir, wasn't that a membership hotel you just went to?"
