"Have everyone been brought back?" The Datang intelligence officer who took off his gloves and threw them on the table nearby asked with concern after glancing at the man sitting there drinking tea and rushing back to the southern part of the empire. .
The light here is not very bright. The walls are made of large stones. The place where the torch was originally was now converted into a lighting lamp.
When it was still the land of Chu State, this place was a dungeon where criminals were imprisoned. Those who could be imprisoned here were the unlucky ones who had offended the powerful.
After the Tang Empire occupied this place, it was renovated: all the prison doors were replaced with steel ones, and some rooms were soundproofed.
The officer sitting there drinking tea nodded and motioned for the other party to sit down and have a drink: "We brought them all back. We took them by land or train. They were very safe. The helicopter troops withdrew directly without stopping."
He introduced all the points of interest to the other party in one breath, so that the other party could shut up and enjoy the tea. Even though we were in a dungeon, I had to say that the tea tasted quite good.
Chu State is a mountainous area that naturally produces tea. It has to be said that the quality of Chu State's tea is much better than the tea produced locally in the Tang Empire, so it is very popular among tea lovers in the Tang Dynasty.
The first-come-first-served position near the water tower originally belonged to the northern part of Chu State, but now it is the southern border of the Tang Empire. Naturally, it is possible to obtain a large amount of cheap imported tea from Chu State.
"The tea is really good." The intelligence officer put down the tea cup and couldn't help but admired.
"Take some back with you when you leave." The officer who sat there interrogating the prisoner all night said calmly.
The intelligence officer did not show any pretense, nodded and continued to ask: "How is it? After working for so long, is the interrogation clear?"
There was a hint of fatigue in the man's voice: "People are interrogated overnight. Only one mastermind knows more. The rest are a group of brainless fools who follow their dreams."
Just kidding, since the Tang Empire Security Bureau started from the Silver Fox Tavern, there is no question that cannot be answered - after so many years, they have learned a lot of tricks from His Majesty, how can they not be able to deal with a few petty thieves? ?
He didn't even take out the "Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty", "Military Notes on Torture by the Gendarmerie", or "Yang Yongxin's Five Lightning Whips". The other party basically recalled everything in his life in detail and explained everything. .
"Are there any results?" the intelligence officer continued to ask.
"I know that the leader of this group of people is an old noble from the Chu State. He had already run away when we went to arrest him, but we still found some clues." The man answered directly: "This person is wanted by the Chu State, but You also know what kind of virtue there is, so the possibility of catching him is low."
When he spoke, he despised the state of Chu State's management and looked down on Chu State's intelligence agencies, not believing that they could accomplish anything decent.
Frankly speaking, just like the intelligence agencies of the Tang Empire infiltrating other countries, Chu State is almost a sieve.
He wouldn't be surprised if there was intelligence proving that a foreign intelligence agency had stolen a Butcher fighter jet from the Chu military.
It is simply impossible to expect those guys from Chu State who are just waiting to die to catch the fugitives: at most they can just pretend and then go back to the office to read the newspaper.
After scorning his colleagues, the man continued: "He burned some things, but most of the information is still there. The Chu State was very cooperative, and the approximately 4 million gold coins that the nobleman secretly hid were intercepted. ”
It turned out that Chu State's intelligence agency was not as bad as he thought, or that the Jinka team they were looking for to develop and develop offline was not very good, and it was a good match for Chu State's intelligence personnel.
Anyway, after a final struggle, the Chu State, with the help of personnel from the Datang Group, successfully found many properties in the name of the escaped nobleman.
Hearing this number, the intelligence officer was slightly shocked: "Four million? It's quite a lot."
Although they have seen a lot of ups and downs, and there are countless millions and tens of millions of gold coins in Datang Group's accounts, this does not mean that the inflation of the entire world has reached such an alarming level.
On the contrary, among other financial groups and forces except Datang Group, hundreds of thousands and millions of gold coins are already a considerable amount.
In fact, in many large transactions, one hundred thousand gold coins is still enough to be described as a huge sum of money. It is not easy for many companies, enterprises and even individuals to obtain one thousand gold coins.
This time, 4 million gold coins were traced, which is definitely not a small number - no matter what the other party is planning, the loss is definitely not small.
The man in charge of the torture nodded and added: "I left 2 million for the Chu State... You didn't see that those guys almost cried when they saw the money. They really didn't expect that we are so particular about how we handle things."
The intelligence officer laughed: "It's better to be more polite, and they will be more cooperative next time."
This time, the special forces of the Tang Empire were operating in the Chu State, and the commotion they caused was not small. There were helicopters and people shooting and killing people in the street. There was a lot of help from the Chu State to wipe their butts.
If you only cause trouble for the other party but do not provide any benefits to the other party, then this kind of cooperation will definitely not last long. You need to show some sincerity from time to time so that the other party can continue to cooperate willingly.
"There's no need for a next time. I heard that when the accountants who assisted in recovering stolen goods came back, they promised to notify us as soon as possible if they encountered similar cases again." The man in charge of the interrogation laughed.
"Let's go, take me to see. I don't believe that a Chu noble can be worth 4 million. If he can't explain it well, this matter can't be revealed." The intelligence officer stood up and said.
The man in charge of the interrogation also stood up and led the intelligence officer to an iron door. The guards helped open the iron door. There was a half-dead man hanging on a wooden shelf inside.
"I told you everything! I told you everything I know! Please... don't, don't..." Seeing that the man who had interrogated him before came back, the man hanging on the wooden frame cried out, While shouting, he struggled with all his strength.
Satisfied with this reaction, the intelligence officer walked up to the injured man, raised his head slightly and looked into his eyes: "Do you know where Count Zeng Jian's funds come from? Tell me everything you know. Come out, lest you suffer the pain of your flesh.”
"I don't know... I really don't know..." The man shook his head in pain, then seemed to remember something, and subconsciously looked to the other side: "Don't! Please! Don't!"
The officer in charge of the interrogation has taken off the whip from the wall and stretched his muscles: "I will help you recall your memories. Relax! Don't be nervous!"
He walked to the hanging man, and the intelligence officer had already made room for him. The next scenes started to become cruel and bloody.
With the crisp sound of the whip hitting the flesh one after another, the man hanging on the wooden frame let out a scream like a slaughtering pig.
"Ah! Ah!" The intelligence officer listened to the other party's cries and howls, waiting for a result with some boredom. It's possible that the other party really doesn't know anything, or it's possible that the other party will tell you what he knows.
As for saying that the other party knows something but does not explain it, the intelligence officer thinks it is unlikely: a short-term cooperative relationship cannot build enough loyalty, and people who lack faith will not persist for too long.
Sure enough, when the man in charge of the interrogation went to find the red-hot iron, the hanging man finally gave in: "I remembered! I remembered! He said 'Southeastern Clothing'! He once told me While chatting, I mentioned a company called 'Southeast Clothing'! Stop it, stop it!"
"This does not mean that... in our country of Datang and Chu, there are not only 300 but also 200 companies called Southeast Clothing. If we had checked one after another, people would have run away." The man in charge of the interrogation said with great dissatisfaction.
"Not necessarily." The intelligence officer seemed to have thought of something and said, "We can investigate the money laundering from the remittance side? How can it be so easy!"
】
They have been tracking such unidentified funds recently. Combined with the name of Southeast Apparel, they can easily target the other party.
"Without further ado, let's apply for field service again..." He turned around and walked out very quickly: "I'll pick up the tea next time. It's more important."
The man in charge of the interrogation put the soldering iron back into the stove, walked back and kicked the hanging man again: "You bitch! You tell the truth every time you hold the soldering iron! Do you think you are cheap?"
