Chapter 265: Finally Caught the "Phoenix"
Such a gloomy and terrifying prison has killed countless comrades.
Xiang Chu felt that every brick he stepped on was stained with the blood of his comrades.
After following the warden for a long time, we finally arrived at the deepest part of the prison.
Xu En, Zhou Hai and Lei Gang from the Party Affairs Department were all outside the prison.
Lei Gang saw Xiang Chu coming over and threatened:
"Deputy Section Chief Xiang! Are you a little scared to come to a place like this?"
"You're scared?"
Xiang Chu asked back, too lazy to point him out, and said loudly,
"Hello, Director Xu! Hello, Deputy Director Zhou!"
Xu En nodded and said, "Good! He is indeed a handsome man."
Zhou Hai smiled and said, "You should go to the Air Force. It's a waste of your talent."
"Thank you for the compliment, both of you!"
Xiang Chu smiled, patted Zheng Min's shoulder affectionately, and introduced him specifically,
"This is our new intelligence chief at the Military Intelligence Department."
Zheng Min nodded and said, "I am Zheng Min, and I hope you two will have a seat."
"Good! Hello, Chief Zheng."
Xu En and Zhou Hai smiled and nodded.
Xiang Chu observed the two of them and found that Xu En deliberately didn't even look at Zheng Min.
Xu En pretended to sigh and said, "Deputy Section Chief Xiang! Li Maocai is too stubborn. We have no other options. We can only ask you, the ace agent, to come forward and get information through hypnosis."
Xiang Chu took the responsibility and said, "Don't worry, sir! I will make sure he tells me everything he knows."
Zhou Haiyin said with a smile: "Deputy Section Chief Xiang! I heard that you used to work under Li Maocai, so you should know him inside and out."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "I was in the archives for less than a week, and Li Maocai came up and immediately identified whether I was a member of the Red Party, which made me very disgusted. Now the situation has changed, and it turns out that he is the Red Party. It's really hateful!"
Xu En smiled and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense and see what Deputy Section Chief Xiang is doing."
"it is good!"
Xiang Chu nodded happily.
Lei Gang opened the heavy prison door and spoke respectfully.
"Please come in, Director!"
A strong smell of blood and stench hit me in the face.
"Just right! The Ecstasy Incense has no effect at all."
Xiang Chu knew it well, and followed Xu En and others into the prison.
This is an iron-clad prison equipped with all kinds of torture instruments.
Li Maocai was wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, and a pair of throat shackles around his neck. He was restrained between two large copper pillars.
Needless to say, he had been tortured beyond recognition, his body covered in blood, and he was already dying.
This is too inhumane, but the White Party spies have always tortured revolutionary patriots in this way, using every possible means.
"How did Lao Li survive for more than 20 days?"
Xiang Chu's heart was bleeding and he was full of admiration for Li Maocai.
The prison smelled terrible and the wind was cold, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Xu En couldn't help but say, "Deputy Section Chief Xiang! It's up to you."
"Row!"
Xiang Chu nodded and ordered two burly interrogation agents to
"Put him down, both of you, and put him in a chair. Comfort is the key to sleep."
The two spies were Lei Gang's men, and they all looked at Lei Gang.
Lei Gang looked at Zhou Hai again, because Zhou Hai had ordered not to let Li Maocai rest for a moment.
Zhou Hai looked at Xu En again, and finally Xu En nodded and said, "Okay! Put it down."
Xiang Chu was watching these guys changing their looks when he suddenly realized that Zheng Min didn't come in.
Although it was a bit unexpected, it would have been better if this guy didn't come in. He was too lazy to care about it.
Not long after, Li Maocai was let down and sat in a chair. Feeling a little more comfortable, he tried hard to open his eyes a little.
Xiang Chu stepped forward, moved a chair and sat in front of Li Maocai, and said with a wry smile:
"Director Li! I never thought you were an underground member of the Red Party."
Li Maocai moved his throat, but he was obviously unable to speak.
"water!"
Xiang Chu stretched out his hand towards the interrogating agent.
The interrogating agent glanced at several leaders and only fetched a glass of water after getting their approval.
Xiang Chu took the water and handed it to Li Maocai. Seeing that Li Maocai refused to take it, he gave it to him to drink with his own hands.
Needless to say, Li Maocai's hands were broken and he could no longer pick up the cup of water.
Xiang Chu put down the water cup, took out two cigarettes, lit them, put one in his mouth, and took one himself, and comforted him: "Director Li! Why are you so stubborn? If you had said it, you wouldn't have to suffer so much."
Li Maocai was speechless and just kept smoking. It felt like he hadn't smoked in years.
Of course, as soon as he spoke, the cigarette would fall down and he would not be able to smoke it.
Xu En couldn't stand the environment here, so he urged, "Deputy Section Chief Xiang! Let's hypnotize him quickly."
"Row!"
Xiang Chu readily agreed and took the cigarette from Li Maocai's mouth.
Li Maocai said with great effort: "Let me take another puff."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Director Li! You can only smoke after you have confessed."
Li Maocai hung his head, as if he had consumed too much energy just now talking, and he kept taking deep breaths.
Xiang Chu took out a stick of incense and lit it, then took out his pocket watch, twisted the spring, and started swinging it in front of his eyes.
After a while, Li Maocai began to snore faintly.
Xu En and others were delighted and watched nervously.
Lei Gang also picked up the pen and the interrogation records.
Xiang Chu asked in a low voice: "Director Li! What is your real name?"
Li Maocai replied in an ethereal voice: "Ling Yun!"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Lingyun, aspirations, not bad!"
Needless to say, he was extremely shocked and cried out in his heart:
"Ling Yun! Code name 'Zhuang Zheng', digital code number 87!"
A bloody scene emerged in his mind: "During a counter-encirclement campaign, Ling Yun, covered in blood, carried his young self on his back and escaped from a village surrounded by the enemy."
When Li Maocai heard the word "ambition", his body moved.
Xiang Chu knew he was awake, and asked with a smile: "Ling Yun! What's your code name?"
Li Maocai said leisurely: "Phoenix!"
Xu En and Zhou Hai smiled at each other, extremely excited.
Lei Gang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha! Finally caught the 'Phoenix'!"
Needless to say, Li Maocai quickly opened his eyes.
Xiang Chu waved his hands and shouted, "Chief Lei! You've ruined my plan."
Lei Gang said hurriedly: "Sorry! I didn't mean it. I was just too happy."
Xu En scolded, "Don't talk! Let Deputy Section Chief Xiang continue hypnotizing me."
"It's impossible to hypnotize him. He has the ability to resist hypnosis."
Xiang Chu said helplessly, took out another cigarette, lit it and put it into Li Maocai's mouth, begging: "Director Li! Please tell me again, are there any Red Party members in our Military Intelligence Department? I can report to the director when I go back."
Li Maocai took a deep puff of his cigarette, then suddenly spit it out and said angrily:
"What the hell is that? I really want to smash you to death with an ashtray as soon as you get to the archives room."
After saying this, he stuck out his tongue and bit it hard.
Blood oozing out, he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide.
As he was dying, his eyes looked towards the door.
"Alas! The Phoenix is too stubborn."
Xiang Chu sighed, stood up and turned around, and Zheng Minzheng appeared at the door.
Just now, Li Maocai clearly told me a message:
Go to the archive room and look for the ashtray. Maybe it has a lot to do with Zheng Min at the door.
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Director Xu! Deputy Director Zhou! I'm leaving now."
"Okay! Thank you!"
Xu En and Zhou Hai said in unison.
Xiang Chu walked out of the prison and said to Zheng Min at the door: "Let's go! Chief Zheng."
But Zheng Min waved his hand and said, "Chief Xiang! I'll talk to the two directors, you go back first."
"Row!"
Xiang Chu couldn't get what he wanted.
He knew that Zheng Min would definitely conduct an in-depth study with Xu En and others on the matter of his hypnosis of Li Maocai and whether Li Maocai was the "Phoenix".
The most urgent thing was that he had to rush back to the office as soon as possible and check the ashtray on Li Maocai's desk in the archives room.
He walked out of the Central Military Prison, got in his car, started the engine, and was about to drive out of the prison gate.
Suddenly, Hua Kui, Lin Xi and Wang Li rushed into the prison gate.
In less than half a day, Wang Li was released. No matter how serious the crime he committed, he was still at large.
"Let's see what happens after it's published in the newspaper tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I'll kill you guys when I get back."
Xiang Chu thought to himself that he didn't have time to deal with the villain this time, so he quickly drove out of the prison gate and drove straight to the Military Intelligence Department at full speed.
Just now, Li Maocai, who had been tortured, died bravely in front of him, which made him feel extremely heavy. The word "revenge" kept magnifying and magnifying in his mind...
