Some people proposed that the prisoners should be comprehensively interrogated and screened, and try to get as much information about the local situation from their mouths. This would be much more useful and faster than the current Executive Committee, which can only rely on the intelligence team to find information from books. i. So Ran Yao got a new task: interrogating prisoners.
Although some people raised questions about the human rights of prisoners, many people were obviously not interested in how to protect the human rights of the local indigenous people, but were fully interested in how to torture the prisoners. Before Ran Yao could figure out how to interrogate, someone took the initiative. Various instruments and methods of torture were proposed.
"I am interrogating prisoners, not filming the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty." Ran Yao couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to repeatedly reject these people's enthusiastic suggestions. However, there were so many prisoners, and the security team had too many things to do. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to apply to the executive committee to second his two former colleagues with temporary ID cards to him.
Xiao Guo, who originally planned to show off his skills in the battle, also bought a rifle, but because the location was wrong, he didn't even fire a shot, so he had to do some cleaning work on the battlefield. When he was depressed, he was transferred to the security team with a transfer order. He was excited: Finally he could do his old job again!
"Okay, Xiao Guo, you will be responsible for interrogating prisoners from today on. You will finish the process and outline tonight." Ran Yao stretched out, "By the way, we have also brought Mu Min here. You guys will match up with men and women. Aren’t you tired from work?”
"Team leader Ran, well, she has a husband. She works with me, right..." Xiao Guo expressed the inappropriateness of the arrangement tactfully.
"You are still feudal enough, why do you want me to bring you the Yangma?" Ran Yao teased him, "Salina's body is almost healed, but they haven't hired her yet. It's not easy to deal with that." As he said that, he took off his hat and stroked his head, "By the way, Wu De will also cooperate with you in your work. He is responsible for the prisoners. He will take over those who are good under you."
"No problem, I will definitely cooperate with Captain Wu's work!"
"No, you are cooperating with each other, not you cooperating with him," Ran Yao laughed and patted his shoulder, "Comrade Xiao Guo, although you do not have a formal establishment yet, you are part of our security team. Rare professionals..."
Guo Yi came out of the security team's office a little dizzy. His office was by the river. The construction team was building a prisoner camp there. Bulldozers and excavators were roaring at work. In the river, there were a group of naked women and the prisoners were taking a bath. , Guo Yi was not interested in watching a man take a shower. Just as he was about to turn around and walk away, someone ran after him:
"Guo, Guo -" it was Xue Ziliang who came with a steel helmet on his head, "But I found you. I haven't seen you in the past two weeks."
"What's going on?" Guo Yi stayed a little away from him. He didn't want anyone to notice him and abbsp; "Guo, please help me find you, um, um - leader, let's call him leader, tell me, give me Let me find another job." He looked at his frayed gloves with a frown, "I've been driving a tractor for two weeks. I'm an ATF! Professionals, you need them!"
"I can't make the decision on this issue." Guo Yi looked around for a while, making sure that no one was paying attention to them. "I have a temporary certificate myself, and I still speak for you?"
"God, why do you all speak in the same tone!"
Guo Yi originally thought of a word and hit him, then ran away to discuss work matters with Wu De and Mu Min. Seeing the desperate look on ABC's face, he felt a little pity for him, "Xue, you have to learn now To be a Chinese, do you understand? To be a Chinese first, you have to be patient." He poked Xue Ziliang's chest with his finger, "Be patient, understand? You have to do your job well, the leader will know everything."
After saying this, he left quickly. Whether Xue Ziliang could understand what he said was another matter. Right now, it seems that the leadership trusts him more than foreigners, so he doesn't want his image to be always associated with Xue Ziliang and the others.
The prisoner camp was set up by the river, with a temporary open space surrounded by barbed wire. The prisoners built their own shacks. The five prisoners brought by Wu De now played a big role. Seeing more companions coming, they immediately realized that they would be reused. Therefore, throughout the entire arrangement, everyone tried their best to show their ferocity and ability in front of Wu De.
The interrogation site was just outside the temporary prisoner camp. A tent was set up. In order to enhance the intimidation effect, a large wooden pillar was placed outside the tent, with a giant medieval war weapon found from someone's collection resting on it. The ax was deliberately contaminated with medical waste found in the infirmary - the shiny ax was now stained with blood. Although this thing has never cut anyone, those who have seen it still feel a chill on the back of their necks.
Yu Eshui, who came up with this plan, originally wanted to set up a forest of spears outside the tent, with each spear poking a dead man's head, but everyone was always opposed to it - the psychological stimulation of this thing is too strong. , I’m afraid the first one who can’t stand it is themselves.
At night, blazing bonfires were lit on both sides of the road leading from the tents to the camp. The mysterious and terrifying atmosphere made the captives who were fearful and uneasy about their fate even more uneasy. When he was brought to the door and saw the blood-stained ax, he would collapse almost immediately.
The interrogation was conducted by two people together. Mu Min basically did not speak during the interrogation and only took notes. Sometimes she also reminded Xiao Guo that it was her turn to interrogate. A female police officer who had worked in public security and criminal investigation for many years was naturally better than Xiao Guo. Guo, who mainly invites people to tea, is much more popular, but now that a female pirate is interrogating, this group of Ming Dynasty people seems to be a little too frightened, so she has to take second place for the time being. The person in charge of translating was Lin Xing, who learned Mandarin the best among the prisoners. Xiong Buyou was also monitoring the situation to avoid misunderstandings.
Prisoner's name, address, age, occupation, family background, etc. The House Committee instructs the IT team to prepare a prisoner personnel database on the server, which only needs to be filled in directly into the database.
Although the interrogation team created a sufficiently terrifying atmosphere, both Guo Yi and Mu Min quickly learned the inherent cunning of Chinese farmers. Each said that they were third-generation poor farmers, with no tile above them and no place to stand on. There is an eighty-year-old mother and an eight-year-old son. This made Guo Yi very puzzled - three generations of poor peasants were born and became so popular back then?
As for the names and addresses, it was so messed up that it was impossible to tell - more than a hundred people came from more than ten villages. Apparently, many people are hiding the truth about themselves. Many people rolled around on the ground when they were captured, trying to cover themselves with soil, but the river water stripped them of their disguises.
Other interrogators of this era would either be unable to sort out the mess, or they would have to use physical torture to get the truth, but for people from modern dictatorships, this is not a problem. It's easy to forget when you make up a lie on the spur of the moment.
…
"gender?"
"Name?"
"Didn't you just say your name was Zhao San? Why did you change your last name? What is your name?"
…
No matter how much he swore that he never said his name was "Zhao San" before, the recorder would leave him speechless. This little witchy thing made many people speak the truth out of fear. Some people continue their lies until they are exposed again. At this time, they will be driven outside and walk around the fire. Several people are watching him, not allowing him to sleep, and driving him with spears to keep walking in circles until he himself As long as you are willing to tell the truth. Guo Yi knew that this kind of torture was more effective than any other kind of torture. After a man with the strongest will made up lies four times in a row and was exposed, he walked in a circle in the middle of the night and fell to his death, giving the prisoners a terrible warning.
Soon all the prisoners told everything about themselves and everything they knew about others.
Most are indeed poor, although of course many of them are not really that poor. One-third of the prisoners came from a large village called Huangjiazhai. The leader of this attack was Huang Shoutong, the regiment leader of Huangjiazhai.
Most of the captured Xiangyong from Huangjiazhai were tenants and long-term laborers. Some of them had some land of their own and also tenanted some land from the Huang family. Because they were Xiangyong, their treatment was better than that of ordinary tenants and long-term laborers. Tenants could pay less. Food, long-term workers can also earn more wages. Others are members of the same clan or relatives of the Huang family, either small landowners or homesteaders. When they went out to fight this time, in addition to the reward from the county, Huang Shoutong also promised to reduce their money and food this year and provide compensation to the whole family if they died.
Therefore, Huangjiazhai Xiangyong was particularly brave in this battle and suffered the most casualties. According to one of the small leaders, except for the people who worked as laborers, more than half of the Xiangyong who came to attack died.
"What about Huang Shoutong?" Guo Yi quickly asked.
"I didn't see Mr. Huang," the leader said. "As soon as the deputy fired the cannon, Mr. Huang dismounted and took command, and then he disappeared..."
Others come from all kinds of places, most of them are long-term workers sent by their masters to make up the wages, and some are from extremely poor households who were sent to fight by their clans or villages because they had "no worries" - which means to die. People who don't care if they die. Those who are unwilling to talk about their own situation are mostly small landowners, homesteaders and tenants with some family property, for fear of implicating their families in being robbed or extorted by pirates. Many poor people also made up nonsense out of fear.
From the prisoners' mouths, they learned a lot about the surroundings, including the distribution of the villages, how many people there were in the villages, who were wealthy landowners, and which villages had side businesses or specialties. They all spoke out in detail, and some people even said that they were willing to join the gang and become pirates, and could lead them to plunder the rich households in the village, as long as they allowed him to kill so and so.
The interrogation team carefully recorded the information he provided. Some people couldn't control themselves and cried bitterly as they talked. Lin Xing also shed tears while listening.
"What are you talking about?" Guo Yi asked Xiong Buyou, seeing that they all looked bitter and resentful.
"It's so tragic to say that--" Xiong Buyou looked sympathetic and shook his head, "Those who said they were willing to join the gang all have blood feuds."
"Let them talk carefully," Guo Yi suddenly became interested, and an idea came to his mind, "come one by one."
