Chapter 596 New Interrogation Techniques

Xu Heng was brought in soon after.

Compared to the photos in the archives, Xu Heng looked noticeably older and more worn out.

Xu Heng's back was hunched, his once jet-black hair now had a few gray hairs at his temples, but his eyes were already sparkling and bright.

As he was being pushed and escorted into the interrogation room by the prison guards, Xu Heng's gaze did not linger on the racks and various instruments of torture for long. After only a quick glance, his eyes fell on Ye Shaohong.

When he saw the military uniforms worn by Ye Shaohong, Li Yunlong, and Chi Tiecheng, Xu Heng's eyebrows trembled slightly.

Clearly, Xu Heng had already identified Ye Shaohong and his companions through details such as their clothing and demeanor.

His heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

However, he quickly returned to normal.

Even Ye Shaohong didn't notice or realize that brief moment of change.

"Sir, the person is here!"

The middle-aged prison guard gave Ye Shaohong a half-hearted salute, shouting his report.

"Ah."

"Tie it up first."

Ye Shaohong nodded, put down the documents he was looking at, and watched as the prison guards tied up Xu Heng and stepped aside. Only then did Ye Shaohong look up at Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng.

Although he didn't say anything, Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng had already guessed Ye Shaohong's thoughts.

This is to ask for their opinions. "Stationmaster, let me try first."

Both Li Yunlong and Chi Tiecheng were ambitious and eager to make a name for themselves, but the Special Service Department also had a tradition of seniority-based promotion.

Therefore, Chi Tiecheng did not rush to act, but instead looked at Li Yunlong first.

Seeing that Li Yunlong did not make a statement first, Chi Tiecheng understood. He took a step forward and shouted.

"Okay."

“I heard that when Brother Yan Shuangying was still alive, you pestered him to teach you some interrogation techniques from outside the Great Wall.”

"Since we have this opportunity today, why don't you give us a performance?"

Having found a clue that might involve Japanese spies, Ye Shaohong was no longer in a hurry. He chuckled softly, picked up a cigarette from the table, and leisurely lit one.

As the smoke billowed out, a cold glint seemed to flash deep within his eyes.

"I certainly won't let you down, stationmaster."

Chi Tiecheng took off his jacket and cracked his knuckles. With a series of cracking sounds, he walked to the interrogation rack.

Just as Xu Heng raised his head, before he could even open his mouth to speak, Chi Tiecheng had already thrown a punch.

Right in the middle of Xu Heng's side waist.

Here, there were no fatal bones or organs, yet it was close to the kidneys. Struck with a special technique, it immediately caused Xu Heng to scream in agony.

His dirty, dark complexion turned deathly pale at an alarming speed.

"Shh!"

"Don't speak, and don't rush to cry foul. Let's go through the procedures first." "Once I've warmed up my hands and feet, we can talk slowly!"

It's unclear what Chi Tiecheng learned from Yan Shuangying, but in Ye Shaohong's eyes, Chi Tiecheng was becoming increasingly abnormal.

There were also faint signs of violence and madness emerging.

Whether this is good or bad, Ye Shaohong has no way of knowing. He just feels that today's interrogation might bring him a new surprise.

And Chi Tiecheng did not disappoint Ye Shaohong.

Starting with Chi Tiecheng, he first unleashed a series of punches on Xu Heng.

These punches and kicks strike the most vulnerable parts of the human body, where nerve endings are most concentrated.

Yet, it still cannot cause significant damage to people.

In just a few breaths, Xu Heng collapsed onto the interrogation rack.

Large beads of sweat began to trickle down Xu Heng's forehead and temples.

Xu Heng's breathing became much heavier.

"Hey, you're pretty good at holding your tongue."

“If I don’t let you speak, you really won’t say a word, not even a muffled groan.”

"I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

Chi Tiecheng's final punch landed squarely on Xu Heng's stomach. Xu Heng gritted his teeth, his body trembling and convulsing, before slowly raising his head.

"Sir, I'm just cooperating with you."

"Just tell me what you want to ask, and I promise I'll answer everything I know!"

This guy named Xu Heng, suspected of being a Japanese spy, is also a ruthless person. From the moment he began his interrogation, he has been secretly at odds with Chi Tiecheng.

He showed no signs of defeat; on the contrary, he seemed poised to seize control of the narrative.

This entire scene was witnessed by Ye Shaohong.

Ye Shaohong rested his chin on one hand, watching the two of them perform with great interest while occasionally flipping through the documents he had just thrown out.

A moment later, Ye Shaohong's finger landed on a line of text in Xu Heng's file.

Ye Shaohong raised his hand and pointed.

Li Yunlong immediately noticed, leaned closer to take a look, and then walked over to Chi Tiecheng's side, whispered a few words in Chi Tiecheng's ear.

Upon hearing this, Chi Tiecheng nodded in response and then suddenly grabbed Xu Heng's hair.

With a sudden, forceful swing, he slammed Xu Heng's head against the interrogation rack.

"Tell me!" "How did your wife die?"

This question came too suddenly and was not within Xu Heng's preparations. When he heard Chi Tiecheng shout out, Xu Heng was stunned on the spot.

"Wife?"

"she……."

Seeing that Xu Heng seemed to be deep in thought, Chi Tiecheng raised his eyebrows and slapped him across the face.

What are you hesitating about?

"I need your answer now, immediately, right now!"

How did your wife die?

Why did Ye Shaohong allow Chi Tiecheng to disrupt the rhythm and suddenly press Xu Heng for this question?

While reviewing Xu Heng's file, Ye Shaohong astutely noticed something: Xu Heng's file clearly stated that his first wife committed suicide three years ago when they were robbed while shopping together.

Such an event should have left a deep impression on Xu Heng's mind.

However, Xu Heng did not mention it much in his description.

This is also normal.

It's possible that this is something that saddens him, so he doesn't want to talk about it too much. In the real world, many people carefully hide their pain.

They either pretend not to care or avoid talking about it.

But no matter what, these sad things will be deeply rooted in a person's mind and can never be forgotten for a lifetime.

What's more, Xu Heng's wife died right before his eyes.

Therefore, Ye Shaohong asked Chi Tiecheng to inquire. His purpose was singular: to suddenly interrogate Xu Heng and confirm whether the Xu Heng before him was the real Xu Heng, or a Japanese spy disguised as someone else.

The effect is quite obvious.

Faced with Chi Tiecheng's relentless pressure, which gave him no chance to breathe, Xu Heng was slightly taken aback. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he reacted.

"My wife..."

Xu Heng had barely finished speaking when Chi Tiecheng slapped him hard across the face again.

“That’s not what I’m asking. What I’m asking is, on what day did she die?”

What did she say to you before she died?
