In a dark, humid room with no windows, a dim oil lamp hung on the roof, illuminating the small room as gloomily as a haunted house.
"Pah...pah..."
At this moment, in this room where day and night could not be distinguished, the sounds of whipping were heard from time to time, accompanied by shrill screams. A tall, shirtless man with a big waist and a round waist was waving the whip in his hand and whipping the girl hard.
A man tied to a stake.
The whip in the hand of this big man is not an ordinary whip. It is a whip made of horsetail, thin iron wire and several mixtures.
This kind of whip is also very particular. Its specifications must be 1.2 meters long and 1.3 centimeters thick. Before execution, the whip will be soaked in salt water for a whole night so that the whip can fully absorb water.
The reason for this is that the power of the whip is doubled when it is soaked.
The feeling of whipping someone with this kind of whip... Let's put it this way, anyone who can withstand five whips can be called a tough guy.
"Sir, she fainted again!"
"Okay, don't fight."
Shi Feng waved his hand, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
The person tied to the pillar now is Liao Yaquan who was arrested. Since she was arrested, she has been sent to the investigation office. Gao Hongming did this in the hope that the investigation office could pry her mouth open.
But in the past two days, no matter how tortured the interrogators were, Liao Yaquan did not speak. This also made Shi Feng, the director of the investigation department, very angry. What's more, Gao Hongming was now standing next to him.
Gao Hongming looked at Liao Yaquan, who had been beaten to death, and asked: "Old Shi, did she still not speak?"
"Yes, group seat."
Shi Feng said with some shame: "The staff is incompetent. No matter how we interrogated her after two days, she just didn't speak. And as long as she was whipped a few times, she would immediately fall into a coma. This is someone who has been specially trained to resist interrogation."
Special abilities that people have.”
"Well...I know."
Gao Hongming looked at Liao Yaquan, who was beaten all over with bruises. Even though he knew that she had practiced anti-interrogation training, he had to admire this woman's endurance.
The horror of whipping is not something that ordinary people can bear.
Take Singapore in later generations as an example. When people mention Singapore, they may immediately think that it is the cleanest and neatest city in the world. However, few people know that Singapore has another kind of punishment that scares people all over the world.
...caning.
How severe is the caning penalty in Singapore?
Let's put it this way, when ordinary people receive one whipping, most people's bodies are basically unable to fight back, or even completely unresponsive. Most people will faint directly before the third whipping.
Therefore, those scenes in later movies and TV dramas where after being whipped for several days and nights, you can still be vigorous and scold the torturer. They are purely made up by directors and screenwriters who have never been beaten with their eyes closed.
After being whipped a few times, the average person, let alone saying they would rather die than surrender, would probably reveal their bankbook account number and password in less than half an hour.
He waved his hand: "Okay, let's wake her up."
"Wow..."
A bucket of cold water was immediately poured on Liao Yaquan's body, and the strong stimulation caused her to wake up from her coma.
She slowly opened her eyes, and saw Gao Hongming standing in front of her for the first time, and asked gently: "Gao Hongming."
"Yes...it's me." Gao Hongming nodded: "I heard from people in the Investigation Department that you have not confessed even after being whipped for two days. This made me very curious, so I came here to see you."
Liao Yaquan smiled contemptuously: "Don't waste your efforts. As an intelligence officer, I have long been prepared to be loyal to the emperor. Instead of wasting energy on me, you should think more about how to deal with the imperial army's pressure."
……Hahaha!"
Originally, Liao Yaquan was always a beautiful woman who showed herself to everyone in an elegant, generous and decent manner, but now she is in ragged clothes, and her exposed skin is full of bloody whip marks, plus she has an unkempt appearance.
Her appearance is almost the same as Sadako's.
"You... are still too confident."
Gao Hongming shook his head, "Do you really think I want to get something from you? You are too naive. War always relies on hard power. Intelligence power is useful, but if you indulge in intelligence warfare, then
It was reduced to inferior status.
Besides, do you think we won’t know your identity without you opening your mouth...Miss Nanzo Yunzi?"
"Buzz..."
Liao Yaquan felt his head buzzing, and his dull eyes suddenly stared at Gao Hongming.
Gao Hongming continued: "Nanzo Yunzi was born in Shanghai in 1909, and his father Minamizojiro was a veteran spy.
He was proficient in shooting, horse riding, singing and dancing as a boy. At the age of 13, he was sent back to the Kobe Spy School in Japan to learn Chinese, English, shooting, blasting, makeup, poisoning and other spy skills.
During this period, Doihara Kenji, the spy leader who invaded China, admired you very much and gave him special training. After graduating in 1926, he was sent to China. In 1929, you were transferred to Nanjing, under the pseudonym "Liao Yaquan", to work with out-of-school youth.
Using his identity as a cover, he worked as a receptionist at the Tangshan Hot Spring Guest House of the Ministry of National Defense of the Kuomintang government..."
As Gao Hongming spoke unhurriedly, Liao Yaquan's face also changed from white to red and then from red to blue. His face no longer had the contemptuous and disdainful look before, but was replaced by disbelief and shock.
You must know that except for her teacher Kenji Doihara, there are no more than three people in Japan who know her identity. The only place where her information is kept is at the spy school in Kobe. But what Gao Hongming read just now is undoubtedly equivalent to all her information.
His clothes were stripped clean and exposed to the world.
Liao Yaquan, who had been whipped all night, suddenly screamed: "You...how do you know this?"
"Of course someone else told me."
"You're talking nonsense. My information is an absolute secret of the Japanese Empire. You can't get it very often."
Liao Yaquan was so excited that her face was deformed. The people who knew her identity were all high-level Japanese people. These people would never reveal her identity, unless Gao Hongming went to the spy school in Kobe, Japan, and compiled all the information.
Get her information, but how is this possible?
How could Liao Yaquan, who was just excited, know that her photos and all information had been published on the Internet in later generations, otherwise Gao Hongming would not have felt familiar at the first sight of her, and then relied on Liao Yaquan's three
After reading the word, she was recognized.
As all the information was revealed, Liao Yaquan, who was originally tight-lipped, finally collapsed...
