Chapter 993 Detective Ma Rulong (First update, please subscribe)
Where is the Imperial Security Bureau?
No one knows, there are many legends about this place, but one thing is certain - ordinary people will never have the opportunity to enter here, and those who enter here always have to pay a price to get out. The interrogation process of the Security Bureau is graded, and each level corresponds to different methods.
But sometimes there are exceptions. For example, when arresting underground resistance elements, in order to obtain intelligence as quickly as possible, we try to catch them all before the other party gets the news.
Therefore, special measures must be taken in special times.
Ding Lei was watching what was happening inside through the glass window.
This is a special kind of glass, commonly known as one-way perspective glass. You can see what's going on inside from the back of the glass, but you can't see what's happening outside from the mirror side.
This kind of glass is unique to the Ming Dynasty and is also the most common in interrogation rooms.
Ma Rulong stood next to Ding Lei and watched the interrogation together.
"this……"
Ma Rulong pointed at the interrogation going on inside and watched as they continued to increase the power. Even through the glass, he could hear her screams.
No one here will show mercy to women. Electric shock is the most merciful method.
"It's a bit hard to accept?"
Ding Lei asked casually.
"As we all know, torture is basically ineffective in obtaining intelligence. In order to avoid being tortured, they will confess a lot of false information, which will further confuse our judgment."
As a criminal detective, Ma Rulong knew very well what torture would lead to, so he did not agree with using such means.
“So, there needs to be a process of identification and constant upgrading.”
Ding Lei frowned slightly as he spoke:
"We don't have time to launch a psychological offensive right now. They usually hold out for 24 hours to get their superiors to retreat. We are racing against time to deal with them."
He said as the words fell.
"Upgrade! Keep adding new tricks!"
"yes!"
The soldier walked straight into the torture chamber.
What are the next measures to be taken?
Ma Rulong was not interested. While Ding Lei continued to supervise the interrogation, Ma Rulong was looking through some photos of physical evidence collected from her. Suddenly, a pistol in the photos of weapons caught his attention.
"Detective revolver?"
The detective revolver is the flagship product of Shengda Firearms Company. They modified the revolver, shortened the barrel to 50 mm, and reduced the caliber to 8 mm. Once this compact and exquisite pistol was launched, it was very popular among detectives because it was small enough.
"Captain Ding, can I talk to her?"
"What's wrong?"
"I thought of a previous case and wanted to ask her a few questions."
Approaching Diana who was tied to an iron chair.
At this time, she had been tortured beyond recognition. Her body was covered with scars and some bloodstains could be seen on the ground. It would be shocking to most people.
However, Ma Rulong just frowned and then pulled a chair to her side.
Seeing the person approaching, Diana subconsciously looked up.
"Miss Dai, why are you doing this? Just confess."
"What? I...I don't know what you are...what are you talking about, sir..."
Diana still looked pitiful.
"These are the weapons found in your home,"
Sitting in front of her, Ma Rulong took out a photo of a detective-type pistol.
"If we test it, we'll find that it's compatible with..."
He took out another photo, which was of the body on the beach.
"The bullet in his body was fired from this pistol."
Is it true?
Of course not. When he found the body before, he noticed that the guy was executed at close range. The bullet hole was not big, so it might have been caused by a smaller caliber pistol, most likely a detective type.
"What? What are you talking about?"
Although Diana looked calm, the flash of panic in her eyes gave it all away.
"You did it, didn't you?"
Throwing the folder containing the photos aside, Ma Rulong took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it and said.
"You knew he was cooperating with us, so you executed him. Yes, your judgment was correct. He..."
Ma Rulong smiled, exhaled smoke, and looked at the woman in front of her who looked a little nervous. She was about to break down.
"You are indeed cooperating with us. That's why we caught you. You are very good at disguising yourself and are still trying to hide yourself until now. But Miss Dai... now, this is meaningless."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ma Rulong said coldly.
"You always hope that you can hold on for 24 hours to protect your own people, but in fact, for us, this is not important at all. After all, what awaits you in the end is failure..."
Before Diana could speak, Ma Rulong interrupted her.
"Don't think you can change anything. In the twelve northern provinces and the capital, which is your so-called motherland, Brazil, the current population is 6.5 million, of which 1.3 million are of Chinese descent, and you only have... more than 5 million people. Almost half of these people are immigrants from southern and eastern Europe. They have no loyalty to Brazil. They immigrated here to make a living. This is true for the Brazilian Empire and the Ming Empire. How many people are left? Two million? Those farmers who once had nothing have gained land thanks to the generosity of the empire. They have long been supporters of the empire. In the city, how many people are willing to sell you out in exchange for a work permit?"
After throwing out one fact after another, Ma Rulong said again.
"How many people are willing to support you in the end? 300,000? Or 500,000? Even if it is 500,000, what's the point? Ants cannot shake giant trees. What are you fighting for? To restore the slave empire? Is it worth restoring a country where millions of people live as slaves and millions of farmers have no land and can only live on plantation owners?"
Faced with these heart-wrenching words, Diana's heart was in a state of confusion. Of course she knew these things. She knew that only a minority of people supported the resistance. Of course she knew it, but... she didn't want to face it.
"I, I, I'm Brazilian... I, I..."
"Brazil is dead!"
With the corners of his lips slightly raised, Ma Rulong stood up and said, staring at the woman in front of him whose psychological defenses had been conquered.
"So, we don't care whether you confess or not. After all, you are destined to fail. Your resistance will not help change the overall situation. As for you... in the next twenty hours, you will suffer unprecedented torture for something that will not lead to any result."
After saying that, Ma Rulong stood up. When he was about to walk out the door, Diana, whose psychological defenses had collapsed, looked at the man who was about to go out and said.
"He, I killed him..."
When she said this, Diana's heart relaxed, and her whole body seemed to collapse. The physical pain made her cry out in pain, and she even shed tears.
"Why?"
"He, he is unwilling to participate in our operation."
Then everything became simple. Once you opened your mouth, you would tell everything you knew. Behind the glass window, there were a bunch of dumbfounded people.
