A clean and tidy cell, in addition to beds and other daily necessities, there is even a table and a few books. In the corner, there is even a pot of spider plants neatly placed.
A man wearing glasses and a long gown was sitting on a chair reading a book. It was Gong Shucheng, the reporter mentioned by Tang Zong. When he saw Tang Zong leading someone in, he quickly stood up, greeted him diligently, and said with a flattering smile:
"Sir Tang, are you here? Who is this?"
"This is Section Chief Fang," Tang Zong pointed at Geng Chaozhong, "I'm here today to tell you that your chance to make a contribution has arrived!"
"Thank you, thank you! Thank you, Chief Tang, thank you, Section Chief Fang, and thank you to the party and state for giving me this opportunity!"
Gong Shucheng's delicate and elegant face was full of charm, which made Geng Chaozhong think of one word:
Cynic.
"You're welcome," Tang Zong coughed slightly, obviously not quite used to the role of an interrogator yet. He looked at Geng Chaozhong and said, "Chief Fang, do you have anything to ask?"
"I have read the case file and it is very clear." Geng Chaozhong smiled and shook his head, looking at Gong Shucheng and said: "Mr. Gong, I heard that you are a reporter from Yishi News in Nanjing?"
"Yes, yes, I do do some chores in the newspaper office, and occasionally take on some small jobs to support my family. Unexpectedly, I violated the national law. Now I am very ashamed. I am willing to cooperate with the government and make meritorious deeds!" Gong Shu Chengman
He said with a sincere face.
"Yes, Mr. Gong is very knowledgeable about current affairs," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "Can you describe the appearance of the foreigner you saw again?"
"Neng, thin, wearing glasses, hooked nose, blue eyes, quite tall, by the way, similar to you," Gong Shucheng described the foreigner's appearance, "He told me, if I find the person in the photo
If you want someone, you can send a statement on the declaration and he will come to my residence to find me."
"Have you had contact with him before?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"Yes, he entrusted me to collect some military intelligence information before. As a reporter, I had contact with many people. At the time, I thought it was just some unimportant things, so I did it for him. But I really didn't know that these were state secrets.
!" Gong Shucheng said with a frustrated face.
"Stop your little thoughts, you know whether it's a secret or not," Geng Chaozhong sneered, "Seeing that Section Chief Tang is quite polite to you, I won't make it difficult for you. From tomorrow on, you will publish a statement in the newspaper.
Then we let you go home, can you do it?"
"Yes, I can definitely do it," Gong Shucheng promised repeatedly, "But after being caught, will I come back here?"
"Then it depends on your performance." Geng Chaozhong said with a straight face.
"I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate." Gong Shucheng agreed repeatedly, with a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
"Gong Shucheng, I am very interested in you, and I hope you are also interested in me," Tang Zong next to him interjected, "After catching the person, as promised, I will apply for a commutation of your sentence, and it is even possible to seek medical treatment outside of prison.
.But if you’re not interested enough, don’t blame me for not saying ugly things first.”
"I understand, I understand. I have always respected Section Chief Tang very much." Gong Shucheng replied respectfully.
Geng Chaozhong was noncommittal, and then asked Gong Shucheng a few questions. Gong Shucheng was worthy of being a reporter. He was eloquent and answered fluently. Geng Chaozhong nodded repeatedly, and after a while he looked at Tang Zong, indicating that there was no problem.
.
"Chief Fang, what do you think?" Secretary Tang glanced at Geng Chaozhong.
"Go out and talk." Geng Chaozhong waved his hand.
The two of them walked outside the house. Geng Chaozhong pondered for a moment and said, "Secretary Tang, have you never tortured this person?"
"No, this person is very honest. He has already attacked all of them before he was sentenced to death. That's why I handed this person over to me." Tang Zong said.
"When did he say he could contact the foreigner?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"That's what I just explained this morning." Tang Zong replied.
"Secretary Tang, have you ever thought about why he didn't explain it at the beginning if he was so honest?" Geng Chaozhong had a faint smile on his face.
"Well..." Tang Zong hesitated, "According to him, I was so scared when I first came in that I forgot."
"Do you believe it?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
"I don't really believe it, but I think there is a process. He figured it out after my persuasion. It's understandable," Tang Zong said.
"No," Geng Chaozhong shook his head repeatedly, "I just saw it. Although this person looked frightened, his eyes and words were not messy at all. Especially when he explained the matter of collecting secrets in the past, there was no hesitation at all. What he said was fluent and clear.
At first glance, it seems that he has already prepared the secret. What's more, this person has visited military stations many times before to collect information in the name of interviews. He must be a bold and careful person. How could he panic as soon as he arrives at the Secret Service?
Explain clearly?"
"You mean, he still has something to hide from us?" Tang Zong said in surprise.
"Secretary Tang, you don't know something," Geng Chaozhong said sincerely. "The reporter industry is different from teachers and other literati. Although they also write things, they are more exposed to society. These people are slippery and are worse than those gangsters.
You have to be three points more powerful! There is a saying that is good, don’t be afraid of gangsters, just be afraid of gangsters if they are educated. Have you heard of this sentence? "
"This is the first time I heard about it today, but it seems to make sense," Tang Zong smiled awkwardly, "What do you mean, how to deal with this guy."
"Simple, break one of his legs first." Geng Chaozhong said calmly.
"What?" Tang Zong was stunned.
"Break one of his legs," Geng Chaozhong emphasized again. "He showed such a cooperative attitude. The most likely reason is that he wants to escape. Where is the secret service? If you come in, you will lose your skin if you don't die. How can he be a reporter?
Don’t know? I see, if you send him back, he will run away immediately!"
"Really?" Tang Zong obviously didn't believe it.
"Whether it's true or not, just break one of his legs first. It doesn't matter what he thinks." Geng Chaozhong sneered.
"This..." Tang Zong was a little hesitant.
"Secretary Tang, I think you have been a secretary for a long time and have forgotten what you do," Geng Chaozhong said with a dead smile, "There is another sentence to what I just said, Brother Tang, you
Do you want to hear it?"
"What?" Tang Zong was confused by Geng Chaozhong.
"We are not afraid of hooligans being educated, but we are afraid of educated people being hooligans!"
Geng Chaozhong laughed, picked up a wooden stick used for torture from the side, pushed the door open and walked in.
After a while, a shrill scream from Gong Shucheng came from the house. Then, Geng Chaozhong walked out with a wooden stick, put down the stick, clapped his hands and said:
"That's it, now you can fish with confidence!"
Tang Zong couldn't help but shuddered. Only now did he understand the difference between himself and these colleagues who engaged in torture...
