1928: The rise of giant merchants

"Name."

"Ye Luo."

"Hometown."

"Shanghai."

"age."

"twenty three."

"Are you a member of an underground organization?"

".no."

The method of interrogation a hundred years ago is not much different from that of a hundred years later. The interrogator also likes to mix several normal questions with an abnormal question to deceive the suspect.

As long as you have a clear mind and are not impatient, this routine will rarely work.

The person who asked the question was Chen Gongshu, while Dai Li and Zhao Lijun stood behind and remained silent throughout the process.

After Ye Luo easily handled Chen Gongshu's interrogation, Zhao Lijun's expression was very ugly.

Ye Luo glanced at him and probably guessed his identity.

To be taken by Dai Li at this time, he must be one of the Eight Great Vajras. The young man who asked the question was sinister and cunning, with a wolfish ambition hidden under his gentle appearance. He must be the "tough scholar" Chen Gongshu, who has a hot temper at first sight. This guy is probably Zhao Lijun, the "Fate-Chasing Tai Sui".

Ye Luo remembers the outcome of these two people.

Chen Gongshu, a fifth-generation student in Huangpu, officially joined the Secret Service of Lixingshe in 1932. This Lixingshe was the predecessor of the Military Command Bureau and the successor to the current Intelligence Department.

He is one of the oldest people in the military and has done many important things. He is known as the number one killer in the military.

He can be considered half a hero, since most of the people he planned to assassinate were traitors.

For example, the Anhui warlord Zhang Jingyao colluded with Seishiro Itagaki in 1932 and became a traitor. With the support of the Japanese invaders, he became the commander-in-chief of the Peking-Tianjin Second Group in 1933. On May 7 of the same year, Chen Gongshu planned his assassination.

Later, Dai Li issued an order to eradicate traitors, and Chen Gongshu successively planned to assassinate traitors such as Shi Yousan, Wang Kemin, Zhang Wanlin, Fu Xiao'an, and Wang Mou, which once frightened the traitors and Japanese invaders.

Chen Gongshu followed the principal to Baodao in 1949. After retiring in 1969, he began to write his memoirs. However, he made too many enemies in the past few years, so his later years are still mysterious, and no one knows the year of his death and the location of his tomb.

Zhao Lijun, nicknamed Tai Sui Zhui Ming, was young and energetic, acted recklessly, but was Dai Li's confidant. However, he later openly killed Wei Xiaoru, and the Central Government used this to slander him as a traitor. Dai Li tried to save him, but failed, and died in 1942. .

Who is Wei Xiaoru?

One of the early members of the Alliance.

Now he serves as the county magistrate of Xiuwu County.

Wei Xiaoru has been engaged in education for half his life. He is also a celebrity of the CC faction. He has great influence in the education circles of Henan Province and has nothing to do with traitors.

At that time, his disappearance caused a sensation in Henan Province. Members of the CC faction and people from all walks of life called for the solution of the case. Teachers and students from Luoyang No. 8 Middle School, Luoyang Normal University and other schools went on strike to petition the war zone governor's office, and went to the train station to lie down on the train to demonstrate, demanding severe punishment for his murderer.

A final investigation revealed that Zhao Lijun had sent someone to bury him alive.

Why bury him alive?

Because at that time Zhao Lijun and his agents were in the cigarette business, and boxes of cigarettes were shipped to the north, passing through the territory under Wei Xiaoru's jurisdiction. After Wei Xiaoru discovered it, he deliberately pretended not to know about it, detained all the cigarettes, destroyed them, and then The spies who were transporting large amounts of cigarettes were arrested.

Wei was angry that this group of agents were acting arrogantly, so he executed them all on the express charge of drug trafficking.

Zhao Lijun hated Wei Yi for not selling his account, so he deliberately waited for revenge.

Zhao Lijun and Chen Gongshu stared at Ye Luo. Little did they know that in just this moment, Ye Luo had already reviewed their entire lives.

"Masters, if there are no other questions, can I leave?" Ye Luo tried to get up, but Zhao Lijun rushed over and pushed him back.

Dai Li quickly stopped him: "Master Li, don't be rude to the second young master!"

"Damn, little red guy." Zhao Lijun is not from Shanghai, but he is very good at swearing.

Ye Luo looked at him with a smile and sat back slowly: "You won't leave unless you let me go. Why do people in the Intelligence Department also like to torture and extract confessions? Director Dai."

"The second young master is joking. Our interrogations are strictly carried out in accordance with the rules and regulations drawn up by the party. We dare not and will not do anything illegal or criminal." Dai Li said and winked at Chen Gongshu.

This guy is so insidious. Did he just deliberately lie to us? Chen Gongshu looked at Ye Luo more cautiously.

Torture to extract confessions is like an unspoken rule. Everyone knows that it exists, but it must not be put on the table.

The face of the party seat is more important than anything else.

"Second Young Master, I've finished asking my questions, but I still need you to see someone." Chen Gongshu pushed Zhao Lijun away and respectfully pulled up Ye Luo, "Please come this way."

"Who is it? I don't know any members of the underground organization." Ye Luo followed him out, thinking about the tricks they might use.

Several people walked along the dark corridor and then stopped outside a cell.

Chen Gongshu hammered the iron door: "I am Chen Gongshu. Director Dai and Team Leader Zhao Lijun are here too. Open the door quickly."

"Yes!" A voice came from inside, and soon the iron door opened.

A strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

Ye Luo frowned. He was very tall. Over the heads of several people, he could see the almost naked woman hanging under the beam, covered in blood.

He had seen many of the methods used by military commanders in TV dramas in his previous life. The more benevolent ones included flogging, nail pulling, and hot ironing. The more perverted ones aimed at women included "Beautiful Lady Climbing the Ladder," "Sitting on an Ice Cube," "Leech Bath," and " Have a baby" etc.

If a Japanese female spy or a female member of an underground organization is caught by them, life would be worse than death.

And women know everything.

"Director Dai, Team Leader Chen, Team Leader Zhao!" Several agents stood up and saluted, then secretly glanced at Ye Luo behind them.

This is the first time they see outsiders here.

"Second Young Master, do you know this young lady?" Chen Gongshu asked.

Ye Luo looked at the dying woman with her head lowered and was about to shake her head when Zhao Lijun rushed over and raised Chen Ruiqiong's face.

Although her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless, Ye Luo recognized her at a glance.

"The second young master seems to know her." Zhao Lijun said excitedly.

Dai Li also looked back at Ye Luo's expression.

Ye Luo said calmly: "Of course I know Ms. Chen Ruiqiong, the deputy editor-in-chief of the application. She wrote many of our Ye's Investment reports. Can you explain to me what's going on, Director Dai?"

Faintly hearing Ye Luo's voice, Chen Ruiqiong struggled to raise her eyes, unable to see clearly.

"We rounded up a group of underground organization members in the Zhabei Black Cat Dance Hall, six of them in total. Miss Chen Ruiqiong was also present at the time. Oh, by the way, when our people rushed in, Director Ding Li was working with the proprietress Yue Lang in the office. Batch, tsk tsk tsk." Dai Li looked at him with a half-smile.

"Oh. That means that members of the underground organization were caught in my dance hall, and Miss Chen Ruiqiong was also present." Ye Luo nodded suddenly.

Dai Li smiled and said, "Yes."

"That's none of my business?"

Ye Luo suddenly said something.

Dai Li's smile froze.

Several people were immediately speechless. (End of chapter)
