Chapter 196: Frost Emerges
"Ah, ah, ah."
Before I even reached the cell, I heard the miserable screams of the female prisoner.
I don’t know what method Zheng Kui used to torture and force a confession.
"Stop, stop torturing me."
When he arrived at the cell, Qin Tian saw that the woman was not tied up, but was sitting there.
"Damn it." Qin Tian cursed in his heart. This was actually one of the ten most cruel tortures in the Qing Dynasty.
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything." The woman was obviously tortured to the point of being exhausted.
"Why didn't you just say it earlier? Why do you have to endure such severe torture? Take him up and tie him up." Zheng Kui waved his hand.
The woman was pulled up and screamed in pain, then she was tied to a cross.
"Everyone else go out first. Qin Tian and Zheng Kui stay." Gao Bing originally wanted Qin Tian to go out as well, but he had just been cleared of suspicion in the suburban incident, and he was going to meet with Major General Yutani, so it seemed bad to show distrust directly now.
Only Gao Bing, Qin Tian and Zheng Kui were left in the interrogation room.
"Go ahead." Zheng Kui turned on the recorder and asked.
"I am neither a Communist nor a Kuomintang member." The first thing the woman said was to deny her identity: "I am just an intelligence agent."
"Where does your information come from?" Gao Bing asked.
"A mysterious person sold it to me." said the female prisoner.
"What's his name? Where does he live?" Zheng Kui asked quickly.
"I don't know." The female prisoner lowered her head, blood flowing down.
"You don't know?" Zheng Kui laughed and said angrily, "It seems you want to sit here again?"
"No, don't sit down. I'm really not lying to you. He is the one who comes to me every time. We have a common safe, where he puts the information. I split the money with him and put it in the safe. He knows me, but I don't know him." said the female prisoner.
Zheng Kui and Gao Bing both found it hard to believe this.
"You never contact each other? Not even by phone?" Qin Tian asked.
"Yes, sometimes they would call me from a public telephone booth, but when the other party spoke, it was obvious that they were disguising themselves, using their nasal or low-pitched hoarse voice, and I couldn't make it out." The female prisoner said again.
"Male or female?" Qin Tian asked.
"If he's a man, he'll be over 30 years old," said the female prisoner.
"If it's a man, then it definitely isn't Lin Sisi." Qin Tian said casually.
"What intelligence did I give you last time?" Gao Bing asked.
"The Japanese army will use poison gas bombs for the first time in the Battle of Nanchang," the female prisoner replied.
Hearing these words, Qin Tian's heart trembled. This matter must not have been leaked from him.
Qin Tian also pretended to be surprised and act as if he was unaware of the situation.
"Anything specific?" Gao Bing asked again.
"No, that's all." The female prisoner answered with certainty.
Gao Bing thought for a moment and said, "Zheng Kui, take your men to the safe, monitor it 24 hours a day, and arrest the boss for questioning."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Zheng Kui went out immediately.
"Qin Tian, you interrogate her and make her reveal all the previous information." Gao Bing said.
"it is good."
Gao Bing went out first.
Qin Tian moved the wooden horse in the middle, which was covered in blood.
Then he sat in the chief judge's seat, turned on the recorder, and said, "Tell us all the information you can remember from the past."
The female prisoner repeated everything she could remember.
"Anything else?" Qin Tian asked.
"It's gone, it's really gone." said the female prisoner.
At this time, Qin Tian turned off the recorder, then lowered his head to check the tables and chairs to confirm that there were no bugs installed in this interrogation room. Then he stuck his head out and looked at the corridor and next door to see if there was anyone. Then he walked over and asked:
"You said before that you had contact with the other party through a public telephone?"
"Ah."
"Around the end of November of the lunar calendar last year, at the intersection of Qinghua Street in the morning, did you receive a phone call? The content of the call was nothing." Qin Tian asked seriously.
The female prisoner thought about it, nodded, and said, "Yes, I'll take it. It's an emergency agreement we agreed on at the beginning."
"What's the agreement?"
"The other party's silence means that the transaction of the previous information has been terminated. I was about to go to the destination for the transaction and would wait for his final confirmation on that street. If the other party is silent, the transaction will be canceled urgently." said the female prisoner.
For someone who sells information, he has a pretty good memory.
"What was the content of that intelligence at that time?" Qin Tian asked.
"The sick and dying women in Lianhua Pond will be sent to a secret biochemical base for live experiments. There are also a few photos, and I am asked to sell them to reporters from the newspaper. The price doesn't matter, but I must sell them to international reporters." The female prisoner said again with difficulty.
Qin Tian became more and more nervous. He was almost 100% sure that the female prisoner's contact person was Zhao Jun.
In other words, there is a 99% chance that Zhao Jun is the Kuomintang intelligence officer codenamed Bingshuang.
"Then why was the deal canceled?"
"I guess he realized that there might be something wrong with the deal," said the female prisoner.
Qin Tian thought for a moment and asked again: "Is there any intelligence related to the Battle of Songhu? In August 1937?"
Qin Tian didn't expect that this woman had been selling intelligence for so long.
"Yes, I remember. This information is also very special." The female prisoner remembered it all.
"Why is it special?" Qin Tian asked curiously.
"He asked me to sell it to a designated person," the female prisoner responded.
"Who?"
"You just mentioned a female staff member of the decryption department of your secret service bureau. Her name is Lin Sisi," said the female prisoner.
Qin Tian took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"
"Gone."
"If you remember anything, you can tell me in private. Don't tell anyone about our private conversation just now. Do you know how Zheng Kui and his men treat women? You have already experienced it. At least I won't be so cruel. I will try to be lenient with you in front of Section Chief Gao."
Qin Tian kicked the wooden chair next to him, which was still covered in blood.
"Yes." The female prisoner nodded heavily.
Qin Tian took the recorder back to his office and listened to the entire thing again.
There is a lot of intelligence involved in the trafficking, but overall, it is biased towards the anti-Japanese side. There is also intelligence from the Communist Party and the domestic party, all of which are outdated, meaningless, and false.
It is obvious that the intelligence about the Communist Party and the Kuomintang was intended to confuse people.
Therefore, it was basically certain that Zhao Jun was the Kuomintang's Bingshuang, and Zhao Jun had also helped him secretly.
After confirming Bingshuang's identity, Qin Tian wanted to inform Zhao Jun that: one, his intelligence subordinate had been captured; two, Zheng Kui was waiting for an opportunity, so he should not go; three, he wanted to give him the intelligence on the Battle of Nanchang.
After thinking about this, Qin Tian took the documents and went to Director Zhao Jun's office.
