Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 171 Setting a Trap

Ye Shaohong has handed over Dongfang Hui's case to Zhuang Yifan.

He didn't want to get involved anymore.

But now the situation has changed. Zhuang Yifan alone is simply no match for those parasites.

Ye Shaohong had no choice but to pull himself together and take on the case.

Fortunately.

The case is nearing its end. The leader of the Japanese spy team, Dongfang Hui, has confessed, and everyone involved has been arrested.

Ye Shaohong only needs to grasp the general direction; he doesn't need to worry too much about other things.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shaohong went straight to the underground prison.

After asking one of his field agents, they learned that Zhuang Yifan had gone to rest after capturing the Japanese spy the previous night.

He's still not awake.

This was exactly what he had expected. After three days and two nights without sleep, Zhuang Yifan's energy was completely depleted.

Once it hits the pillow, it's unlikely it will wake up anytime soon.

Ye Shaohong did not pursue his thoughts.

After a brief interrogation, he had someone bring the police chief from the equipment section, who had just been arrested, to the interrogation room.

Ye Shaohong raised his eyebrows the moment he saw this person.

Oops.

This person is quite tall, reaching 1.7 meters.

In the Republican era, even in China, this height would be considered that of a robust man. In Japan, he would be a rare giant.

Then Ye Shaohong looked at the man's appearance again and nodded. Although he was far inferior to him, he could still be considered handsome.

No wonder this person climbed to the high position of head of the Equipment Section of the Ministry of Police in just seven or eight years after graduating from police academy.

Besides being good at interpersonal relationships, his height and appearance should also be considered a plus.

"coming?"

"Take a seat."

After a brief glance, Ye Shaohong's expression returned to its indifferent state. He raised his chin and casually said something.

"who are you?"

"Why are you arresting me?"

"Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with. I'm the head of the Equipment Section of the Ministry of Police, and behind me..." This man was quite audacious. Even after being arrested and taken to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he still dared to put on airs and question Ye Shaohong. The words he uttered even carried a hint of threat.

Ye Shaohong raised his head, and his brows were visibly furrowed.

"Crack!"

If you're being offered a favor and don't accept it, then don't take it.

"Someone, loosen up this Section Chief Jiang's muscles and let him know where he is."

"It's a place where he can roar freely."

Ye Shaohong's face did not show the slightest anger, but the words he spoke still made Jiang Hongwei's heart tremble.

He then saw that the two field agents who had escorted him from the cell both had a ferocious and ruthless look on their faces.

"You fool, daring to threaten even our team leader! You're asking for trouble." "Section Chief?"

"The section chief is nothing but a fart in front of our team leader."

The two field agents, while uttering harsh words, walked up to Jiang Hongwei and made a move to grab his shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongwei was quite arrogant and actually swung his shackled arms in an attempt to resist.

"Ok?"

Ye Shaohong raised an eyebrow, seemingly dissatisfied.

The two field agents' expressions changed, and their subordinates became even more ruthless. One of them stepped forward and slapped Jiang Hongwei across the face.

"Hold!"

"You still dare to resist?"

"I'll kill you, you bastard."

No sooner had the field agent finished speaking than the other field agent was not idle either. He raised his leg and kicked Jiang Hongwei in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

The two men ignored Jiang Hongwei's struggles and continued to punch and kick him.

With a painful groan, blood soon trickled from the corner of Jiang Hongwei's mouth.

"You...you've gone too far."

“I am a police officer on the payroll of the National Government. Even if you are from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, you cannot treat me like this.”

The two field agents punched and kicked Jiang Hongwei for three or four minutes, leaving him covered in bruises. Jiang Hongwei did not beg for mercy or shout, but only kept emphasizing his identity.

This scene caught Ye Shaohong's eye, making the cold and stern look in his eyes even more intense.

"That bastard's pretty good at acting!"

"If I hadn't already known your identity, seeing you like this, I might have actually believed it." Ye Shaohong watched coldly. Since Jiang Hongwei wanted to put on a show, he didn't intend to stop him.

He also wanted to see if this guy could be as stubborn as Dongfang Hui.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hongwei wasn't that strong-willed.

Five minutes had just passed, and seeing that Ye Shaohong showed no sign of stopping them, the two field agents became increasingly ruthless, and Jiang Hongwei finally became afraid.

He started begging for mercy.

"Stop...stop hitting me."

"I was wrong, I'll never do it again, please stop hitting me."

After four or five minutes of punches and kicks, even Jiang Hongwei, who was quite strong, could not withstand it.

He even suspected that if he continued to endure it, Ye Shaohong might actually have these two field agents beat him to death. "This is a warning to you, and your last chance."

"Alright, stop now."

Ye Shaohong picked up the water glass on the table and took a small sip. He didn't even glance at Jiang Hongwei. After giving a casual reply, Ye Shaohong waved his hand again.

The two field agents immediately stopped kicking and punching, and then dragged Jiang Hongwei up from the ground like a dead dog.

He casually tossed it onto the chair.

"Tell me, why did we arrest you?"

"Don't try anything funny with me."

"If you don't satisfy me, you won't have the chance to sit here next time."

This was Ye Shaohong's interrogation strategy for today. He didn't intend to directly expose Jiang Hongwei's identity as a Japanese spy, but rather to use ambiguity, letting Jiang Hongwei guess and suspect, ultimately leading him to willingly confess his crimes. Of course, the crimes mentioned here were definitely the least serious ones in Jiang Hongwei's mind.

for example…….

Colluding with corrupt officials, such as embezzling funds from the equipment department, etc.

This was not the answer Ye Shaohong most wanted to know.

However, if we can get Jiang Hongwei to tell the story willingly, and then use it to refute those parasites who tried to force him, it would be a good option.

At least it will make Ye Shaohong feel a little happier.

This was Ye Shaohong's scheme.

Jiang Hongwei also fell into a brief silence after hearing Ye Shaohong's words.

Then he gave a wry smile.

"Actually, I had expected this day to come."

"I just didn't expect this day to come so soon, and I've been held captive by you for so long without anyone getting me out. It seems I've been abandoned."

"Since that's the case, then I'm willing to confess!"

This self-righteous fool, after getting beaten up for nothing, ultimately willingly walked into the trap Ye Shaohong had set for him...
