Throughout the night, Xiong Jiandong imagined multiple action plans against Tan Qibiao:
First, contact the national security agency on the spot, secretly arrest Tan Qibiao and Fan Lizhi, including the man who unexpectedly appeared last night, and arrest them all on suspicion of betraying national intelligence.
However, this approach is based on Xiong Jiandong's current situation and inferences, and he has not performed reconnaissance procedures.
If something goes wrong, Fan Lizhi will inevitably fall into a passive position due to her sensitive nationality.
Moreover, Lu Zhichao, who is in the United States, will definitely be alerted.
More importantly, this also goes against Xiong Jiandong's original intention of pursuing Tan Qibiao alone in an effort to find out the whereabouts of the skull USB drive.
After hesitating for a long time, Xiong Jiandong rejected this action plan and then came up with a second idea of action:
That is, in the dead of night, while Tan Qibiao was sleeping, he quietly entered his room and conducted a surprise interrogation of him throughout the night.
But the risk of doing this is that there are hotel security surveillance cameras installed in the corridor, which can easily attract the attention of security guards.
Besides, a room in a hotel is not even considered the best place to deal harshly with Tan Qibiao.
After thinking over and over again, Xiong Jiandong thought of the ruins of a building he had seen from a distance on the way from the cruise ship terminal yesterday afternoon.
So this morning, as soon as it got light, Xiong Jiandong drove to find this ruins and found that it was an old fishing village that had just been demolished and left behind.
So, he quickly returned to the resort hotel and waited. He only waited for Tan Qibiao to appear alone and act according to the situation.
…
Now, when Xiong Jiandong opened the trunk, a strong smell of feces and urine hit his nostrils.
There was a large yellowish wet mark on the outside of the bag.
Xiong Jiandong's original idea was to carry Tan Qibiao on his shoulders to a house. In this case, he could only drag him alive on the ground.
"This guy is as cowardly as a rat. That time he cared about Rashid's front brigade, and it was already obvious from his hasty escape. From this, it can be seen that it will not be difficult to deal with him next!"
Xiong Jiandong seemed to have a sense of joy that he had suppressed for a long time, but he could soon see his enemies begging for mercy and avenging him.
The bag was untied, and Tan Qibiao's head was exposed.
He blinked a pair of frightened eyes and stared at the man in front of him with a short beard and a dark copper complexion. His only reaction was: He must have been kidnapped!
Xiong Jiandong took off the linen stuffed into Tan Qibiao's mouth, found a place, and sat down opposite.
Tan Qibiao let out a long breath and said in a pitiful tone: "Brother, you got the wrong person. I'm just a foreigner who came to travel, and I don't have much money with me."
Xiong Jiandong did not immediately pay attention to Tan Qibiao, but was thinking about where to open a breakthrough for him first.
"But I can't let brother, this trip is in vain," Tan Qibiao changed his mind and tried. "I do have a bank card with me, and there are tens of thousands of it. I can tell the password to brother now. I just want to
Let me go immediately."
He knew very well that there would never be a kidnapper willing to leave empty-handed.
"What's your name? Why did you come to Sanya? How many people are staying in the hotel?"
Xiong Jiandong finally decided to interrogate Tan Qibiao based on the situation he knew before him to see how much truth he would tell.
Tan Qibiao was stunned for a moment and instinctively thought that this was probably because the kidnappers had believed that he did not have much money and planned to extort ransom from his companions.
"My name is Tan Qibiao. I came to Sanya alone for a trip. There is no one else in the hotel with me."
He told his real name because the identity card could not be concealed.
As for Fan Lizhi, who lived together in Tinghaiju, Tan Qibiao could not expose her traces.
"Your name is Tan Qibiao," Xiong Jiandong said in a stern voice, "but there is a woman named Fan Lizhi living in the resort hotel. She is an accomplice of yours, right?"
"Fan Lizhi? No, I don't know this person!" Tan Qibiao's face immediately turned pale.
After a while, he added: "Brother, if you don't believe it, you can go directly to the front desk to check in detail. Absolutely, I can't find the person you mentioned who would stay in the same hotel as me."
"It seems that you are very dishonest!"
Xiong Jiandong stared at Tan Qibiao fiercely, thinking: He can't expose it to his face now. He has been following him and Fan Lizhi since yesterday.
"Don't dare, brother!" Tan Qibiao said seemingly aggrieved, "Everything I just said is true!"
But Tan Qibiao began to doubt in his heart, whether the person in front of him was a kidnapper?
As a kidnapper, where did he actually find out the name Fan Lizhi?
At this time, Xiong Jiandong decided that he must launch a deeper psychological offensive against Tan Qibiao.
"Tan Qibao, please listen carefully, I am going to tell you the name of another person now."
"who?"
Tan Qibiao reacted instinctively.
Xiong Jiandong said word by word: "Lu Zhichao!"
Tan Qibiao was so horrified that his face was as pale as paper, and he stammered: "No... no, I don't know this person either!"
"Not only Lu Zhichao, but also Lin Sirer and Hua Nianping." Xiong Jiandong increased his tone, "Stop talking about these people, you don't know any of them."
Tan Qibiao's head was almost exploded.
He now fully understood that the person in front of him was definitely not a kidnapper.
"You, who are you?"
Xiong Jiandong is now going all out and pursuing him endlessly.
"Furthermore, you stole a skull USB flash drive from Hua Nianping. Did you hide it somewhere, or did you give it to Lu Zhichao?"
"What kind of skull USB drive, I have never seen it before!"
Tan Qibiao's tone became violent.
"It seems that you need to think about it carefully."
At this time, Xiong Jiandong became calmer.
He felt that Tan Qibiao must be given the pain of mental self-destruction.
So, Xiong Jiandong said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, you have to think about it for a while before you become honest!"
Then, without any explanation, he put the linen cloth into Tan Qibiao's mouth again, stuffed his head into the bag, and tied the mouth tightly.
Destroying Tan Qibiao's will was Xiong Jiandong's last resort.
Now, for Xiong Jiandong, he has taken the initiative to throw all the core topics to Tan Qibiao, and only needs to wait for his reaction.
Xiong Jiandong believed that based on his understanding of Tan Qibiao's cowardly character, he might be able to survive for a few hours, or at most a day, before he would completely collapse.
