After stretching, Xiao Chen sat up and stretched out his hand to open the white curtain on the window.
A ray of sunlight illuminated the grid paper on the window white.
With a "wow" sound, Xiao Chen closed the curtain again.
I finally woke up naturally from a peaceful sleep, but my eyes were still hazy. This sunlight was really a bit too dazzling.
He sat quietly like that for a while, then opened the quilt and looked for his only pair of boots, which were very different from Dongchang's fast boots.
Ever since the man in blue shirt recognized his identity from his boots in Qinghe Town, Xiao Chen went to several clothing stores before buying a pair of fast boots that he was quite satisfied with.
Although his identity was discovered by the other party, Xiao Chen also realized that if he wanted to hide himself, he had to be careful even if it was as small as a rope tied to his hair, let alone a pair of fast boots.
In the washbasin at the door, I pulled the angular face a few times with a water spatula, then sat next to the stove and pulled out the big sweet potato that had been buried in the ashes before going to bed last night.
Afraid of knocking off the ashes, Xiao Chen broke the sweet potato in half from the middle, looked at the steaming light red sweet potato flesh, and took a bite.
These three children have been going to the royal family chief's house for several days, and I don't know if they are used to it or not.
It's Chinese New Year, and I don't have time to go and pay New Year greetings to the royal family leader. I feel sad just thinking about it.
However, a great scholar like the royal family chief probably doesn't care about these complicated etiquette in the world.
Xiao Chen found a reason for himself not to go.
Today, it all depends on Duan Tianming's ability. Whether he can pry Huang's mouth open will be the key to Dongchang's next step.
After eating the whole roasted sweet potato, Xiao Chen lifted the blade into his hand, walked out of the gate of the Thirteenth Battle, and walked towards the temporary prison in Dongchang.
Seeing the dark prison door from a distance, Xiao Chen stopped, covered his nose with his hand, and sneezed twice in a row, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah".
There was a smell of fried chili peppers floating in the air.
"Who stir-fries chili peppers and makes chili noodles so early in the morning? The smell can make people choke to death." He muttered as he walked towards the prison.
When he walked into the door, the smell of fried chili was even stronger. As a last resort, Xiao Chen had to cover his nose with the sleeve of his right hand and quickly ran into the door to the small room responsible for lighting the fire wall of the cell.
There were about ten people crowded in the small, dark house.
Everyone held a piece of wet cloth, covered their noses tightly, and looked at the red fire.
Right in front of the stove, Duan Tianming, commander of the Thirteenth Army, sat on a long wooden bench. At the other end of the wooden bench, there was a basket containing half a frame of dried chili peppers.
Seeing Xiao Chen come in, he hurriedly signaled to the captain beside him and handed over a piece of cloth that was also wet.
"I thought you came to interrogate Mr. Huang early in the morning, but you are here lighting the stove." Taking the piece of cloth, Xiao Chen covered his nose and said angrily.
"I'm in the middle of a trial." Duan Tianming pointed to the half-frame of chili peppers beside him, picked up a chili pepper, and threw it into the stove.
"I just went in and tried it. Mr. Huang was very cold and dismissive of my questions. So I dug a gap in the fire wall and started adding chili peppers as fuel in the stove. I wanted to take a look.
, how long can she remain aloof in this chili smoke."
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up and said: "Take it easy, this chili smoke is too concentrated and will kill people."
"How is that possible? Roasting prisoners with a large amount of chili pepper smoke is called torture to extract confessions. Our Dongchang is not a Jinyiwei prison, so we can't do that kind of thing. I just throw in a chili pepper every once in a while, and the water flows." As he said, he continued.
Throw a chili into the stove.
"You don't call this torture, you are really shameless." Xiao Chen glared at him with contempt, then picked up a chili and threw it into the stove.
"If you want it spicy, be spicy enough. Don't make it so spicy that it makes people sneeze."
Seeing Xiao Chen's actions and listening to his words, the captains around him all mouthed in unison.
After throwing five chili peppers into the stove, Xiao Chen covered his nose and walked out of the stove room.
He walked all the way to the door of the room where Mr. Huang was imprisoned, and shouted at the round food delivery port on the iron door: "Mrs. Duan, please bear with me for a while. Today's lunch is spicy tofu and spicy chicken noodles in the kitchen."
I just finished using it, so I used our stove to dry some chili peppers to make chili noodles. This is all for our lunch, please bear with me."
There was no echo in the room, only the sound of sneezing.
Returning to the stove room, Xiao Chen grabbed a few more chili peppers and threw them in.
"Throw less. Don't you think it's cruel to treat a woman like this?" Duan Tianming's nose turned up a few times and he sneezed twice in a row.
"Stop being so pretentious here. Who brought this pepper? Who came up with this method?" Looking at Duan Tianming, Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.
"Then the amount of chili pepper you gave is a bit too much. As you just said, we can't extract confessions through torture." Duan Tianming argued.
"What, why can't we take action after seeing that it's a woman? Who is Huang? That's a person who is planning to murder her husband. If she doesn't speak, we won't be able to take action against Huang Anliang. Qinghe Store is dead
How many people? Even our father-in-law from Dongchang was killed by them. Throw, keep throwing the peppers in."
An hour later, Huang's shouts and curses came out from the food delivery port under the iron gate.
"You bastards from Dongchang, what does it mean to bully a woman like me? Just wait, my father will definitely save me, and he will kill each of you."
Hearing the hysterical yelling and cursing, Xiao Chen stood up and walked to the door of Huang's cell.
"Are you still a woman? Which woman would poison her master's tea? Don't think that Huang Anliang and Jin Yiwei colluded to do some shameful things. We didn't know about it. We already had the evidence. To tell you the truth, Dong
The factory captain is now on his way to arrest Huang Anliang."
"As Duan Shixiong's first wife, you actually want to poison him with a chronic poison that leaves no trace. I really can't stand your vicious behavior. Enjoy the chili smoke. You vicious woman."
After saying that, Xiao Chen turned and left.
The room was completely quiet. Not only was there no scolding like a shrew just now, but there was not even a sound of sneezing.
After scolding Mrs. Huang, Xiao Chen returned to the stove room angrily: "Throw it, keep throwing the peppers in."
Half an hour later, bursts of crying came from the cell. At the same time, there were occasional sounds of banging on the iron door.
"Then Mr. Huang seems to have compromised." Duan Tianming looked at Xiao Chen and reminded him.
"Ignore this vicious woman and continue throwing chili peppers into the stove."
The crying in the cell became louder and louder.
Xiao Chen stood in the middle of the yard, listening carefully to Huang's crying and feeling her psychological changes.
"Please, let me out, I really can't bear it anymore. My eyes are going to be blinded by the smoke, and my throat is going to be cracked."
"Put your eyes on the food delivery port, and you won't be blinded by smoke."
Xiao Chen was also extremely conflicted at this moment.
If Mrs. Huang could speak smoothly, who would be so arrogant to her?
But as the only breakthrough in this case, Xiao Chen was not willing to mention the torture of pricking the nails and cutting the flesh. He could not be beaten or scolded.
Although sometimes, for some information, Xiao Chen would use underhanded methods beyond ordinary people's consciousness, he also had a bottom line.
You must not rely on physically destroying prisoners to make them surrender.
The most brilliant interrogation method is to break their will and voluntarily confess everything they know.
This Huang family left a deep impression on Xiao Chen. She was calm, sophisticated and insidious.
Unless this kind of criminal's will is completely destroyed, even if they confess, it must be an excuse that they have already thought of.
Originally, Xiao Chen did not want to interrogate the Huang family.
As long as he gets some information from Duan Shixiong that can arrest Huang Anliang, he will bypass the Huang family.
When the ins and outs of this case are completely clear, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, this Huang family will be dealt with how to deal with it.
However, that nerd Duan Shixiong not only failed to provide anything useful, but also wasted a lot of his energy.
Thinking of the large number of people who died in Qinghe Store and the huge conspiracy hidden behind this case, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and let the chili smoke continue to burn.
The food delivery port on the iron door is only three or four inches high from the ground. If you want to put your eyes on it, you have to lie down on the ground.
Xiao Chen knew that only by asking Huang to put down her self-proclaimed nobility would be the first step to completely dismantle her will.
The cell was filled with chili smoke that made people afraid to open their eyes or open their mouths.
Although her eyes were squeezed until there was almost only a gap left, the choking chili smoke still made Huang burst into tears.
As a last resort, she could only lie down on the ground, put her eyes on the food delivery port, and feel the coolness outside.
In the yard, Xiao Chen stood straight on the spot, looking into Huang's eyes at the food delivery port. He knew that his plan was half successful.
Not long after, the smoke in the room gradually became stronger, and bursts of smoke squeezed out from the food delivery port under the iron door. Huang felt a little better, but her eyes began to feel burning and uncomfortable again.
She opened her mouth and just about to shout, thick chili smoke entered her mouth, making her throat feel like it was about to split in an instant.
She doesn't know, what is she still insisting on?
After her father ordered to kill her husband who was a member of Qianhu in Yanqing Guard, she became completely disheartened.
From that time on, I had a hidden hatred for my father in my heart.
She has no good impression of Duan Shixiong.
In her eyes, Duan Shixiong was a timid nerd. It was this character that made his father choose him to be his puppet to control Changping Prefecture.
And Huang herself is the link through which her father controls the puppet.
Thinking of what she had done for her father, but now, there was no news of him coming to rescue her.
Perhaps, he is currently planning how to completely separate himself from this matter.
Thinking of this, Huang's cold heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything. Please let me out." Huang started shouting loudly towards the food delivery port.
"You recruited? Why did you go there so early? Dongchang has already gone to arrest Huang Anliang. What's the use of confessing now? You have no chance." Looking at the dark iron door of the cell, Xiao Chen's face showed no trace of anything.
expression.
"I'll do it, I really can do anything." Huang didn't seem to hear Xiao Chen's voice, so Huang continued to shout loudly.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Huang was desperate and banged the heavy iron door violently.
"Let me out, I'm willing to correct you face to face."
Upon hearing these words, Xiao Chen suddenly raised his hands on his back and waved towards the stove room.
"Seal the flue and follow me in to sign and seal it."
