Lu Ming and An Gonggen entered the ward and opened the white sheets. The scene in front of them shocked them.
It doesn't look like a living person at all, it's just a wrapped mummy.
Hou Liang's eyes were closed tightly, and his whole body was covered with thick white bandages. Blood seeped out from many places. Only his eyes, nostrils and mouth were exposed, and the rest of his body was covered with bandages.
This reminded Lu Ming of a patient with severe burns all over his body, which also proved that Hou Liang had been tortured to the point of being injured.
"These grandsons are too cruel. Is it necessary?" An Gonggen cursed, not caring about the existence of the two agents beside him.
Lu Ming sighed and covered Hou Liang with the sheet again.
"Can he still be rescued like this? I wonder." An Gonggen said.
"What's the point of rescuing me so that you can continue to torture me and then send me here for treatment?" came a voice from the door.
Lu Ming turned around and saw a man in a white coat with a stethoscope hanging on his chest, staring at him closely, followed by a beautiful nurse.
Lu Ming bowed slightly, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Didn't I tell you? No one is allowed in the ward casually. What if the patient's wound is infected?" the doctor asked the two agents at the door.
The two agents shrank their necks and did not dare to speak. In the past few days, they had been scolded by the grumpy doctor. The doctor did not dare to offend Weng Bailing, but Dai Li and other high-ranking officials took out all their anger on them.
.
"Doctor, can you be more polite when you speak? The lieutenant colonel is amazing, and our commander is a major general." An Gonggen couldn't help but say.
Lu Ming took a closer look, and sure enough, under the white coat, the doctor was still wearing a military uniform. He was a lieutenant colonel military doctor.
"Are you two soldiers too?" The doctor looked at the two men. One looked like a scholar and the other looked like a thug. They didn't look like soldiers at all.
"What, is it true that a soldier only has the word "soldier" written on his face?" An Gonggen said angrily.
"Uh, not really. Can I see your ID?" the doctor said to Lu Ming.
He also saw that Lu Ming was the leader, and the other one was the bodyguard.
Lu Ming had no choice but to show him his ID.
The doctor was in awe when he saw that the official position on the certificate was Major General Counselor of the Nanjing Military Commission.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know before and it was disrespectful."
"It's okay. In the hospital, the doctor is God. In front of God, military rank and official position are not worth a dime." Lu Ming laughed at himself.
After hearing this, the doctor's face became much gentler.
"Sir, just take a look. This patient has been unable to wake up for a day or two. In order to save his life, we injected him with a large amount of morphine and sleeping pills. Now he relies on vitamins to maintain his life. His fortune is very good.
"
"Can he still be rescued like this?" Lu Ming asked.
"He was disabled after he was rescued, and he was moderately disabled. Of course, this may not matter to you. You are going to shoot him in the end anyway, so I put it bluntly, why bother to rescue him? Why not just let him die on his own?
Okay?" the doctor said bluntly.
Lu Ming didn't know how to answer him. If he had been at the Shanghai Station at that time, he might have been able to prevent Weng Bailing and others from using torture. Unfortunately, he was not here, and it was useless to say anything now.
"Try to save him as much as possible, at all costs. We can't say what will happen to him in the end. We'll wait until he is revived." Lu Ming sighed.
"Okay, sir, we will try our best, but we can't guarantee that he can be out of danger." The doctor said.
Lu Ming bowed his hand to the doctor and without saying anything else, he and An Gonggen walked out of the ward and started chatting casually with the two agents.
Lu Ming asked about the security measures of the agents and said that they were worried that the underground party would take advantage of the loopholes. The two agents did not dare to be careless and immediately reported the security arrangements to him.
Lu Ming was also surprised after hearing this. There were more than a dozen agents lying in wait just near the hospital. There were also two secret agents on each floor of the hospital monitoring everyone's activities.
It seems that the Fuxing Society has opened a big net here, and it is ambitious and wants to catch all the underground parties who came to rescue Hou Liang.
He believed that this was Dai Li's arrangement, and Weng Bailing did not have such a high IQ.
On the way back, Lu Ming suddenly asked An Gonggen: "Let me test you. If you were asked to lead someone to rescue Hou Liang, would you be able to rescue him without anyone noticing?"
An Gonggen was startled: "Master Lu, you don't really want to do this, do you? It's too suspenseful."
"No, I'm just wondering if there are any loopholes in Dai Yunong's arrangement. Let's treat it as an intellectual problem. I will inevitably compete with him in terms of intelligence in the future. Why don't I try it now to see who is better, him or me?
Bring the brush."
"Hehe, this is quite interesting. There are many ways to save Hou Liang, but the only way is to use strong attacks and quick attacks. If you want to save people without anyone noticing, you have to have our inside line inside the enemy. Only by cooperating inside and outside can we have a glimmer of hope.
." An Gonggen thought carefully and replied.
"What does the inside and the outside mean specifically?"
"For example, create an accident or some emergency, remove at least half of the security personnel, disrupt their defense plan, then capture the loopholes, win in the chaos, and rescue people."
"Create chaos and muddy the water. Well, is there anything else?" Lu Ming tapped his fingers rhythmically on the steering wheel.
"However, there are difficulties. According to Hou Liang's current condition, the biggest obstacle to rescue is actually his body. He cannot leave the hospital at all. Without the protection of doctors, he will not survive a day at all."
An Gonggen has much more experience and knowledge about the extreme state of life than Lu Ming. It can be said that he has been through life and death several times and is very familiar with the shape and decoration of the Palace of Hell.
Lu Ming nodded. This was also the question that came to his mind. Not to mention that there was no way to rescue Hou Liang now, even if there was a way, there would definitely be no place more suitable for rescuing him outside this hospital.
In that case, even if Hou Liang is successfully rescued, he will not survive for a few more days.
"These prodigal things, after finally catching a Communist, they were tortured into this horrible state. What's the use of keeping this person? I really don't know how to scold them." Lu Ming said bitterly.
"They really had no choice. I heard that both Commander Dai and Station Commander Weng had all the good things to say about him and offered him sufficient conditions. This Hou Liang just refused to eat hard or soft food, and finally used
Even though he was tortured, it still didn't work." An Gonggen also heard about some of the situation.
"Are the underground gangs really as magical as the legends say? I will look for opportunities to experience them whenever I can." Lu Ming said perfunctorily, but what he was thinking about was how to fish in troubled waters and create an opportunity to rescue Hou Liang.
"Master Lu, if you meet such a person, his mouth seems to be sealed with a steel bar, what do you think you would do?" An Gonggen asked.
"If it were me, then talk to him and have a heart-to-heart relationship with him. If it doesn't work in one day, just two days. If it doesn't work in two days, then wait a few more days. In any case, attacking a person's mind is more effective than abusing a person's body, knowing that it is ineffective.
Why are you still doing it? And it’s very uncivilized." Lu Ming said.
An Gonggen smiled. He did not dare to refute Lu Ming's words, but thought he was a scholar.
There is no perfect way to deal with people of faith. Torture will not work, and deception may not work.
An Gonggen has also tortured many opponents, relying on various torture methods, but his methods are much more skillful, at least he will not torture a person into a puddle of mud.
"I know you are not convinced. China has relied on torture to handle cases since ancient times. This also shows that our law enforcement system has not yet begun to learn the subject of interrogation." Lu Ming said while driving.
"Don't the United States rely on prisoners' confessions to decide cases? What do they rely on to decide cases? You won't tell me what God's wisdom they rely on."
An Gonggen felt very strange. Lu Ming's brain was really different from others. From ancient times to the present, criminals must be interrogated in any law. Of course, confession is the most important evidence.
"In the United States, the law relies on all kinds of evidence, including physical evidence and witnesses. It does not rely on the prisoner's confession. The prisoner's confession is the most unreliable. If we have definite evidence, we can make a verdict even with zero confession."
"What if there is indeed a motive and time for committing a crime, but there is no evidence of a crime? Should we let him go?" An Gonggen asked.
"Yes, we can only let him go, so evidence collection is the basic element for deciding the case. The law cannot rely on the judge's imagination and guessing. We must grasp the evidence provided by the prosecutor." Lu Ming insisted that rationality should be more important than emotion in judging cases.
Lu Ming studied law, but An Gonggen believed that his Western legal theory would never work in China.
This is probably the so-called chicken-and-duck talk.
