Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 421 Now there is a question

A phenomenon that often occurs during interrogations is that prisoners often have a "trying" mentality, especially those who have never been tortured. They often try to experience the severity of the punishment, then evaluate whether they can bear it, and then decide whether to confess.

Obviously, Cheng Yongjun is one of them.

Unfortunately, he was not a tough guy. After the military police whipped him a few times, he began to tremble and wail. Lin Ze threatened: "This is just the beginning, Cheng Yongjun, if you don't tell the truth, you will suffer more!"

"I admit it, I admit it!"

Kitahara Ransuke nodded and signaled the military police to go out, and Lin Ze began to record.

Cheng Yongjun panted, "My cousin has something on me. I take care of the household chores for the commander and often deal with gifts from others. Because there are too many, I stole a few and the commander couldn't find out. But my cousin has a classmate whose family runs an antique shop. Once I went to sell two plum bottles, and coincidentally, my cousin was there. Later, my cousin asked me to tell the commander as soon as he returned to Beiping. I swear, I didn't know that my cousin wanted to kill the commander!"

At this point, Cheng Yongjun looked regretful. "I was indeed in the room talking to my cousin yesterday, but I was trying to persuade him. I thought he was going to argue with the commander again, and I wanted to persuade him not to be so disobedient to the commander. But who knew that the conversation would not go on, and my cousin became more and more agitated. Later, he got up and went directly to the study. I wanted to stop him but didn't dare to. I could only wait for him to meet the commander, and then go over to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, gunshots were heard later. When I went out to see, my cousin was already standing at the door with a gun. He was blood-thirsty and pointed the gun at me, so I shot back!"

Lin Ze and Kitahara Ransuke looked at each other.

"Cheng Yongjun, according to what you said, Zhang Ruilin and Commander Qi are uncle and nephew, and Commander Qi has taken good care of him. Why would Zhang Ruilin do such a thing?"

"I really don't know!"

Cheng Yongjun was almost crying. What the hell, the nephew killed his uncle. How should I know why?

Seeing that nothing could be learned from the interrogation, Kitahara Ransuke called the military police and ordered, "You continue to torture and interrogate here. Lin-san, come out with me."

Cheng Yongjun was confused. I have confessed everything, why do I still need to be interrogated? ?

When they got outside, Beiyuan took out a cigarette box and handed one to Lin Ze.

Lin Ze took out his lighter and lit it for Beiyuan first. Beiyuan Ranjie said in a deep voice: "This adjutant should not have lied. So now there are three questions. First, since the old housekeeper of the old house appeared at the scene, why did he disappear out of thin air? Was it him who made the marks on Qi Ying's neck? Second, why did Zhang Ruilin shoot Qi Ying? This is also the biggest doubt. Logically speaking, this doesn't make sense. Third, are the people who attacked from the front gate related to Zhang Ruilin or the old housekeeper? Lin Sang, go search Zhang Ruilin's house and see if you can find anything. I'll have someone arrest the old housekeeper."

Lin Ze thought to himself that Kitahara Ransuke was a very capable guy and he could arrange things in no time.

After returning to the house and asking Cheng Yongjun for Zhang Ruilin's address, Lin Ze took a few military police there.

After working for half a day, it was already dawn. On the way, Lin Ze bought a few buns to fill his stomach.

Zhang's house is located in an alley in the inner third district, with two courtyards. Most of the people living around here are intellectuals, so it is a relatively good location.

Except for Zhang Ruilin's mother at home, the rest were two maids. It seemed that although the Zhang family had the support of Qi Ying, they were not wealthy, but just an upper-middle-class family.

Zhang Ruilin is a boy with quite a strong personality. If others had such an uncle, they would have been thinking about getting promoted and making money, or at least showing off a bit. How could he be so low-key?

Zhang's mother was nearly fifty years old and looked simple and elegant. However, she was a woman after all and probably not well educated. Firstly, her son had not returned home all night, and secondly, the Japanese military police came to her house early in the morning. She could not help but feel panicked, but she had bound feet, so she held the door frame and walked out quickly in small steps.

"My dear officers, what brings you to my house? My elder brother from my mother's family is Qi Ying. If there is anything I can do for you, please bear with me."

Lin Ze didn't bother to argue with her, and said gently: "Madam, we are ordered to check the situation. Young Master Ling is involved in some things, so we are here to investigate. But don't worry, Commander Qi's friends will coordinate with all parties, so nothing will happen."

When Zhang's mother heard this, she wiped away her tears out of love for her son.

"My Rui'er! I told him so many times, but he didn't listen. I told him to study but he didn't study hard. He ran around all day. Sir, did my Rui'er learn some chicken and dog fighting from his friends, causing trouble and fighting with others? Sir, don't worry. Although my family is not rich, we have some assets. We will compensate you!"

Lin Ze thought to himself, your son didn't go out to fight chickens and dogs, he went to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice.

"Madam, you just mentioned Zhang Ruilin's friends. Has Zhang Ruilin been in close contact with anyone recently?"

Mother Zhang thought for a while, "Sir, to be honest, my husband passed away early. As a woman, I don't know many things. Usually, Rui'er is the boss of the family. Although he has a group of good classmates, they just chat and talk about everything. He has never done anything out of the ordinary. But some time ago..."

Lin Ze asked: "What happened some time ago?"

Mother Zhang hesitated for a while, and seeing that Lin Ze's thick eyebrows and big eyes did not look like he was here to harm their family, she finally sighed, "Some time ago, my son locked himself in the study all day, looking sad and unhappy, and had no appetite. When I asked him what was wrong, he would not tell me. But these two days, my son went out for a walk again, and I was relieved."

When Lin Ze heard this, he knew something was wrong and said seriously, "Madam, I have to search your study."

After hearing this, Zhang's mother was shocked. Are they going to confiscate the house?

"Madam, I am just looking for some evidence in the study to see if I can help you, Master."

In fact, at this point, Zhang's mother already felt something was wrong.

Although she had not received much education, she had seen the world. She could see from the clothes worn by these people that they did not look like those from her brother's side. Although the leader was quite polite, he was not like the others who were both respectful and fearful of the Zhang family because of Qi Ying.

She vaguely knew that something was wrong, but there was nothing she could do.

The woman who had just been wiping away tears actually managed to calm down and told a maid, "Take a few soldiers to the young master's study."

Then he said to Lin Ze, "Sir, my Rui'er has always forbidden us to go to his study, but since you are here to help my Rui'er, it's fine. But please don't mess up his things, because my Rui'er will need them when he comes back."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and said, "If we mess it up, he will be angry when he comes back. He will be angry."

Lin Ze sighed inwardly and followed the old woman.
