"Sir Chu, you are so kind and merciful. Please let me go. I really had no idea beforehand. If I had known that he was Japanese, I would not have accepted this job no matter what."

When Yang Jian saw Chu Lingyun, he burst into tears again. Because his chin was hung up, he couldn't speak clearly, so it took a lot of effort to finish the words.

"This is what you want to say when you see me?"

Chu Lingyun replied coldly, poor people must be hateful. If there were no people like Yang Jian to cover up the Japanese, they would probably catch the real spy this time.

"Sir Chu, how about I plead guilty and perform meritorious service? If you ask me to plead guilty and perform meritorious service, don't kill me. I can do whatever you want."

Yang Jian cried, and Chu Lingyun shook his head slightly. Everyone ran away, and he was exposed. How could he be guilty and meritorious?

Seeing Chu Lingyun walking out, Yang Jian hurriedly shouted: "Sir Chu, I remember the appearance of the person who hired me. I can draw and I can draw his appearance. Do you want it? If you want it, I can do it right away."

Draw it for you."

Chu Lingyun turned around instantly and walked quickly to Yang Jian's side.

"How similar can you draw it?"

Yang Jian is a painter, and it is absolutely credible to say that he can draw portraits, but even if he is a painter, he must draw likenesses of people, otherwise giving him an abstract painting will be of no use at all.

"Nine points, at least nine points. I used to paint people's portraits on the street, and everyone thought that my paintings looked very similar."

Yang Jian said quickly, this is his specialty and his only hope for survival now.

"Put him down, prepare pen and ink, and let him draw."

Chu Lingyun ordered and looked at Yang Jian's fingers again. Fortunately, Yang Jian had been cooperating in the confession before, and it was not of great value. The interrogator only used a whip and did not prick his fingers.

Yang Jian, who was put down, instantly collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

"There is a couple living next door to your left, have you seen them?"

Chu Lingyun asked Yang Jian again, and Yang Jian nodded hurriedly: "I've seen it, I've seen it."

"Can you draw what they look like?"

Yang Jian hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Chu Lingyun's face showing displeasure, he immediately replied: "Yes, everything can be done."

"Let's draw now. Draw all three people."

As long as it can be drawn, Yang Jian’s employer has never seen it, and even if he draws it, he doesn’t know the authenticity. But his neighbor, Shen Hanwen, has seen it and can verify it.

The torture room was too dark, so Chu Lingyun took him to the interrogation team's office. Yang Jianlian drank four glasses of hot water to stabilize his mind before picking up paper and pen and starting to draw.

"Captain Chu, this is a portrait of my employer."

Not long after, Yang Jian finished the first painting, came to Chu Lingyun tremblingly, and handed it over respectfully with both hands.

I have to say that Yang Jian's painting skills are really good. He draws sketches, which are very vivid. From the portraits, you can see the appearance and characteristics of the whole person.

"Keep drawing."

Chu Lingyun put the portrait aside and asked Niyi to get a camera to take pictures of the painted portrait.

After a while, Yang Jian drew the portrait of the female neighbor on the left. Shen Hanwen was called over by Chu Lingyun just now. After seeing the portrait, he shouted in surprise:

"Captain, yes, the painting looks very similar to that woman. That's what she looks like."

Shen Hanwen met Yang Jian's neighbor, and he was also the only member of the team who met the two Japanese spies. It was up to him to verify that Yang Jian was indeed not lying, and that he could really draw people very similar.

Even Chu Lingyun didn't expect that this Yang Jian could have such a role, and he could be regarded as a meritorious service.

"Why don't you draw anymore?"

Chu Lingyun looked at Yang Jian. Yang Jian was hesitating, and the pen in his hand never fell on the paper in front of him.

"Captain Chu, let me recall, I can't remember what that man looks like."

Yang Jian's head was covered with sweat and he spoke carefully to Chu Lingyun. Chu Lingyun frowned: "How did you remember that woman so clearly and draw it all at once?"

"I've seen that woman several times. She's very beautiful. I've drawn her portrait in private, but I really haven't noticed the man. Let me think about it. I'll definitely be able to remember it after thinking about it for a while."

In order to survive, Yang Jian did not dare to tell any lies. His impression of his male neighbor was really vague, so he did not dare to talk nonsense.

His words made Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen laugh out loud.

It is normal to only remember the appearance of a woman but not the appearance of her male neighbor. They can understand that men never care so much about their appearance and that beautiful women are more attractive.

"Think about it carefully, draw them all, and I will spare your life."

Chu Lingyun said calmly that in fact, Yang Jianneng had already made a meritorious service by drawing out his employer and female neighbor, which was indeed enough to spare his life.

And his sketching ability is very good, maybe he can be used in the future.

As for releasing them, don't think about it now. It may be possible after the Anti-Japanese War.

"Thank you Captain Chu, I will definitely be able to draw it."

With Chu Lingyun's promise, Yang Jian's spirit was immediately shaken, and he finally didn't have to die. When the interrogator told him that he would be executed soon, he was really scared to death.

He is still young and really doesn't want to die.

Chu Lingyun didn't pay attention to Yang Jian and kept staring at the female portrait. Judging from the portrait, this woman was indeed quite beautiful.

Chu Lingyun is not afraid of her beauty. The more beautiful she is, the more conspicuous she is, and the greater the possibility of being found.

After a while, Yang Jian's third portrait was finally completed.

After Shen Hanwen determined that the painting had a three-part portrait, it was not completely like it. Yang Jian did not have a deep memory of the male neighbor, and he was not painting in person, so it was not easy to achieve a seven-cent portrait.

"If I change it again, I will definitely be able to draw a portrait."

Unable to draw a nine-point portrait, Yang Jiansheng was afraid that Chu Lingyun would not spare him, so he immediately said something else.

"Hanwen, take him to revise it carefully. Niyi, you go and develop the photos you took first. The employer and female neighbor will do more, and develop thirty photos each."

Chu Lingyun did not wait for Yang Jian to revise. The focus of his next investigation was on the cosmetics store. The focus was on this female spy. With her portrait, he could already report to Wang Yuemin.

Ni Loach took the order and left, and Chu Lingyun went directly to Wang Yuemin's office.

Now that it was past the off-duty time, Wang Yuemin did not leave. He had been waiting for Chu Lingyun. As soon as Chu Lingyun entered, he was pulled to the sofa.

"Ling Yun, have you found any new clues?"

"Webmaster, we do have some clues."

Chu Lingyun responded and immediately reported to Wang Yuemin the portrait drawn by Yang Jian, the smell of cosmetics he found in the spy's home, and his investigation results.

"I knew that you must still have a way. I never thought that cosmetics could become a new direction of investigation. Ling Yun, you really did not disappoint me."

After listening to Chu Lingyun's report, Wang Yuemin clapped his thigh excitedly.

He is a veteran intelligence officer and is very aware of the importance of the investigation direction of cosmetics. As long as the female spy does not leave the city, they will have great hope of capturing all the two escaped spies.
