Chapter 15
"No! Heat it until it's red before branding it."
Xiang Chu smiled and took out the branding iron.
He slowly walked up to the devil and pressed hard on the wound where he had been stabbed by his flying knife.
He regretted using the willow leaf flying knife. If someone investigated, they might associate it with him, the number one red agent killer "Phoenix".
"Hey! Hey!"
White smoke rose from the skin and the smell of burnt skin immediately filled the air, completely concealing the knife wound.
"what--!"
The devil let out a hysterical cry and spat at Xiang Chu viciously.
Xiang Chu dodged in time, smelled a strong stench of alcohol, and sneered:
"Hey, good man! I'm using this to reduce the inflammation of your wound so it won't get infected. You should thank me."
The devil was so angry that he yelled: "Baga! I will kill you, kill all of you Chinese."
Everyone looked at Xiang Chu in astonishment, especially the three people from the interrogation department, who were particularly shocked by his calmness and composure.
Zhang Changsheng said in astonishment: "Captain Liu! Who assigned this guy to the archives room?"
Liu Zhengxiong said without hesitation: "Of course it's the Virgo!"
Gongsun Yi said anxiously: "Captain! Get him from the archives room."
Wang Batian said hurriedly: "Yes! This way I will have a lot more free time."
Liu Zhengxiong sneered, "Don't dream! He will be transferred to our Operations Department soon. You should speed up the interrogation. The director is waiting for the results of the interrogation."
"Ah?! Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zhang Changsheng lost interest in playing after hearing this and ordered:
"Gongsun Yi! Tyrant! Get down to business."
"okay!"
Gongsun Yi sat down at the interrogation table and spread out a pen and paper.
Wang Batian snatched the branding iron from Xiang Chu and put it into the brazier.
Xiang Chu retreated back to Liu Zhengxiong and saw that Sun Ruize was about to faint. He whispered:
"Captain! How about I send Rui Ze back first? It would be bad if he collapses."
Liu Zhengxiong was also afraid of losing face, so he waved his hand and said:
"Go! All of you go back."
"Thank you Captain!"
Xiang Chu and the other three said in unison.
But Zhang Changsheng shouted, "The one from the archives room stays here first!"
"This, okay!"
Xiang Chu was extremely helpless and could only watch Sun Ruize and the other two escape from the interrogation room.
Zhang Changsheng asked with a smile: "Young man! What's your name?"
"Xiang Chu!"
Xiang Chu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zhang Changsheng praised: "Well! He is a good interrogator, even better than Batian."
Zhang Changsheng's provocation was very effective. Wang Batian immediately became angry and used all kinds of torture on the devil, including whips, branding irons, bamboo sticks, tiger kicks and other tortures.
He also yelled in some unknown dialect:
"Say sand! You can't resist it."
However, the Japanese spy's Chinese was not good to begin with, and he could not understand what he was saying. Instead, he yelled at him in Japanese:
"Fat pig! What the hell are you talking about?"
Wang Batian didn't understand what the devil said. Seeing his vicious expression, he was so angry that he whipped him.
"Don't hit your mouth!"
It was too late for Zhang Changsheng to shout. The whip had already hit the Japanese soldier's mouth, which immediately became red and swollen.
The Japanese became even more excited after being beaten and kept cursing. It was obvious that they had received special training and could resist severe torture.
Liu Zhengxiong taunted, "Captain Zhang! Your method won't work. Haha!"
Zhang Changsheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "These devil spies are really a headache. I don't know why, torture doesn't work. Alas!"
Gongsun Yi suggested: "Captain! Why don't we just try electric shock?"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly said, "Don't! You must not kill this Japanese spy, or you will fail to report to the Director."
"Indeed."
The three members of the interrogation department looked at this rampant Japanese spy helplessly.
Zhang Changsheng looked at Xiang Chu helplessly and said with a smile:
"Xiang Chu! Do you have any good ideas to get him to talk?"
"How's it going? Did you speak?"
Before Xiang Chu could answer, Dai Nong walked into the interrogation room accompanied by the chief of interrogation, the chief of operations, and the chief of intelligence.
"Virgo!"
The five people in the interrogation room shouted in unison.
Zhang Changsheng said helplessly: "Director! This devil is too stubborn and won't speak a word."
Dai Nong roared loudly: "Incompetent! You haven't said anything for so long, do you want me to make a self-criticism in front of the chairman at the Ministry of Military Affairs tomorrow?"
Everyone was silent, fearing that they would say the wrong thing and incur the inexplicable anger of the Director.
Fang Quan, the head of the interrogation department, still said cautiously:
"Director! Why don't we sit down and interrogate him while trying to find a way out for this little devil?"
"Row!"
Dai Nong nodded, sat down and picked up the interrogation record. Seeing the little bit written at the beginning, he said happily:
"This Japanese spy shot and killed the protesting students in the street, and also shouted the slogan 'We must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression, long live the Chairman'. It was clearly a frame-up to the Chairman. Xiang Chu caught him in the act, which was very good and timely. Haha!"
Xiang Chu bowed hurriedly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Director."
Dai Nong got excited and ordered, "Quick! Make this devil speak."
In order to perform in front of Chuzu, Wang Batian used all his tricks.
However, this Japanese spy just wouldn't say a word.
"If you don't speak up, you will all be demoted."
Dai Nong became impatient and stood up, ready to leave.
Zhang Changsheng was over 40 years old when he finally became a captain. He was so anxious that he pointed at Xiang Chu and said:
"Director! I think Xiang Chu is a talented person. He will definitely find a way."
Dai Nong looked at Xiang Chu with a cold gaze, and nodded after a while:
"Xiang Chu! Since Captain Zhang recommended you, then you should give it a try."
Xiang Chu deliberately said loudly: "Director! This little devil's ability to resist torture is too strong, beyond our imagination. He must be an important person, a hundred times stronger than the two devils captured the day before yesterday."
The Japanese soldier tied to the cross heard the praise and laughed triumphantly:
"China pig! I am the leader of the Wolf Team, so I am naturally stronger than the ordinary team members."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Xiang Chu's praise was equivalent to asking about the devil's background.
"So he's the leader of the Wolf Team. Great!"
Dai Nong was overjoyed and excited, and ordered:
"Xiang Chu! I order you to pursue the victory and completely pry open his mouth."
Everyone looked at each other again, wondering if Chu Zuo had lost his mind.
Japanese spies were influenced by militarist ideas, so it was not easy for them to confess.
