Chapter 49 Interrogation of Liu Ershuan
First, wake up Shuanzi.
A ladle of cold water was splashed onto Shuanzi's head and face by the doll, and a small anesthetic bottle was placed under his nose for a few seconds, and Shuanzi woke up.
Shuanzi realized he was tied to the rack and was immediately terrified. He cried out that he was innocent: "Innocent! Innocent! Sir, I'm innocent! I didn't do anything! Sir! I'm one of our own! Sir, please spare me! Ah, it hurts so much! Sir, please spare me! Sir, please!"
Holy crap, Yan Shuo's eyes were opened wide.
Wow, they're really making a ruckus! So much energy!
"Shut up!" Yan Shuo coldly rebuked Shuanzi.
"Sir, please tell me! Sir, I didn't do anything! What's wrong? Why? I'm extremely loyal to you, Sir!" Shuanzi shouted incoherently.
"Give him 10 lashes!" Yan Shuo ordered.
The doll brandished the whip, cracking it "crack! crack! crack!"
Ooh! Smack! Ooh! Smack! ...
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, ah, it hurts so much! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, sir!" Shuanzi continued to shout.
"Stop!" Yan Shuo told the doll to stop. Only then did Shuanzi open his eyes and look at Yan Shuo while crying out in pain. His eyes rolled around as he tried to figure out what was going on and why the Japanese officer was grabbing him.
After seeing Yan Shuo's appearance clearly, the shouting gradually stopped.
"Who are you! Why are you arresting me?" Shuanzi asked. He felt that this torture chamber did not look like the one the Japanese commander was dressed in. He had been to the Japanese commander's torture chamber before, and it was not this clean. It was covered in blood everywhere.
"I'm from the Military Intelligence Bureau's anti-traitor squad! I heard you've been quite active lately, so I'd like to have a chat with you! Is that alright?" Yan Shuo said casually, while the boy next to him boiled water to make tea for him and set out fruit and snacks.
As Yan Shuo spoke, he took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then looked at An Jing in shock. Looking at his Shuanzi, the boy was sweating profusely. Judging from his appearance, he was terrified. He definitely had blood on his hands. He knew what was going on with him. Whether he could live or die depended on how he performed.
Yan Shuo sneered, "Give me the whip!" The doll continued to whip, the whip cracking loudly.
This brat is being naughty; let's give him a taste of his own medicine and whip him 50 times.
The doll was instructed to endure the pain, but not to damage the deeper muscles, otherwise it would be very disappointing if the later instruments of torture were no longer needed.
As Shuanzi screamed "Ahhh!" until the sound gradually subsided, Yan Shuo called for a halt.
"name!"
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
"What's your name?" Yan Shuo continued to ask.
"It hurts so much!"
"Not going to talk? Looks like you haven't been beaten enough! Keep going!"
"Ah! Ah!... Ah! Ah!..."
"name!"
"Liu Ershuan!"
"Profession!"
"What?"
"So, what do you do for a living? Where do you work? Who do you work for?"
"I'm a dockworker, carrying bags at the South Dock. Boss, I didn't do anything! Please forgive me! I'm innocent, really!"
"Not telling the truth? We'll beat you!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"Stop! Can we talk now?" Yan Shuo leisurely sipped his tea.
"We can talk, we can talk, boss, we can talk about anything!" Liu Ershuan quickly nodded in agreement. If he didn't agree, he would be beaten again. Looking at the person beating him, it seemed like he had inexhaustible strength. He had been beating him for a long time, and it still hurt the same. He was scared.
What he didn't know was that, if Yan Shuo wanted to, Wawa could keep whipping the whip for days on end without stopping.
"Tell me, who are you going to work for?"
"I worked for Wu Zhuo of the Green Gang. I was under the command of his subordinate, Gui Zai. I was responsible for carrying bags and loading goods at the dock every day, and sometimes I would run errands."
"Oh, Wu Zhuo? Tell me about him!"
"What information does the boss need to know?" Shuanzi asked.
"Say what you know!"
"Wu Zhuo, nicknamed Wu Lao Er, is from Wuxi, Jiangsu. He used to be a porter, but later joined the Green Gang. He was a trusted subordinate of Huang Jinrong. He was short, with an ordinary face, loved smoking Hademen cigarettes, and loved drinking. He managed the Chengping gambling den and also supervised us porters, along with more than 500 thugs. He was a ruthless character who had killed people, both men and women. He loved women. He also sold people; if he saw a pretty girl on the street, he would grab her, play with her for a few days, and then sell her to his men after he got tired of her. He also trafficked opium and firearms. He listened to Huang Jinrong. After Huang Jinrong died, he started his own gang and became a senior member. He is still friends with Wu Sibao of the 76th Division and provides Wu Sibao with intelligence from the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, and the Communist Party. His underlings are always watching people on the street, and if they see anything unusual, they report it to Wu Sibao."
"What about you? What did you do at No. 76 today?" Yan Shuo asked.
"Oh, I saw a woman acting suspiciously, so I followed her. She was very beautiful. I originally planned to just knock her out, take her home, enjoy her for a few days, and then sell her. But then I noticed she was meeting with someone acting all sneaky. He didn't look like an ordinary person; he looked like an agent from the Kuomintang, the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, or even the Communist Party. I didn't dare to do anything. People like that are very skilled, and I probably couldn't beat him. So I called Wu Sibao and followed the woman all the way to their meeting place. I called Wu Sibao, and we drugged and arrested her. I went to the 76th Operations Team 1 to collect my reward from Wu Sibao. He gave me 100 yuan. And here I am, just out for a meal, and you've arrested me, Boss! Boss, I've told you everything! Can you let me go? I've told you the truth!"
"Oh, besides these, what other information did you give Wu Sibao before?" Yan Shuo nodded and continued to ask.
"Boss, can you let go of me? Look how cooperative I am!" Liu Ershuan pleaded.
"Okay, loosen your grip!" Yan Shuo told the doll to loosen his grip, stuffed a cigarette in his mouth, and lit it for him.
Yan Shuo said, "You often walk by the river and it's inevitable that your shoes will get wet, but your cooperation shows that you still have a conscience and can be saved. Answer the questions properly and cooperate with my work. How much money can Wu Sibao give you? You're just after money. He gave you 100 yuan, and you even helped him catch the spy, and he only gave you 100 yuan to get rid of you? Are you that worthless? Tell me properly, and I'll give you 500 yuan! If you've done a great job, you'll get even more money, enough for you to find pretty girls to keep you company every day."
"Huh? Like that pretty female agent from today?" Liu Ershuan's eyes lit up. Good heavens, he never thought he would be noticed by the boss. How could it be so magical? He couldn't believe it.
"Cooperate well and answer the questions. Tell me everything you know. If you have any key information, I'll reward you with even more money, even small change. With money, what girl can't you afford?" Yan Shuo said with a smile, gesturing for him to sit down opposite him. "Look, you work for Wu Sibao, reporting on spies for him. And when they get caught, you only get 100 yuan. You also have to endure being called a traitor, a dog spy, scum, a sellout, right? What if you're walking alone at night and get shot in the back? You might not even have a tomorrow. You still have a family, right? How will you live your life?"
Seeing Liu Ershuan's deathly pale expression, Yan Shuo continued, "You work for me, and I'll tell my subordinates that you're my informant, working for the country. I'll give you 100 yuan a month, regardless of your achievements. Your salary will be 100 yuan, and any merits will be calculated separately. How about that? I'll register you as our informant. How much can the Japanese give you? Do you think you'd risk your life for this? Once you're one of my men, you can walk around like a madman; no one will bother you. If you see any spies, just tell us, and that will count as merit." "Secretly, I'll arrange for someone to secretly give you money. You'll still receive your informant fees from the 76th Division. How about that? Get double pay! Who knows how long the Japanese will stay? Their country is so small. How many people do they have? Our country has trillions of people! They'll wear Japan down. Then, you'll be purged as a traitor, living a hand-to-mouth existence. Or will you work for us? We'll give you an informant's badge, and you'll live comfortably in the open, maybe even getting an official position. Think about it!"
