Zhu Nanjiang agreed to go with Wen Changling, but instead of going first, he boarded the ship with the last batch of staff and equipment recalled from Hong Kong after all the people in the library were safely evacuated.

"The gendarmerie has already been watching you. No one can predict what will happen on the way. I can at least be an internal response by staying here. I will notify you as soon as there is any news."

Out of selfishness, Wen Changling hoped that Nanjiang would leave as soon as possible.But what the other side said is reasonable, they urgently need the enemy's intelligence to avoid sudden searches and interceptions.Some of the employees who were withdrawn from Hong Kong were party members, and if they were arrested, the consequences would be disastrous.

The two agreed on the time and method of the next contact, calculated the time and talked for a while, and then went out separately to take advantage of the dark night to return home.

Back home, the blind man greeted him with lowered eyebrows as usual.Zhu Nanjiang saw that he looked suspicious, and although he didn't say anything, he went to the entrance to check his shoes while the other was pouring the bath water, and sure enough, he found some fresh wet mud on the soles.

Because Zhu Nanjiang really knows the blind man so well, he knows what he is going to fart as soon as he lifts his butt.Just before leaving the house, he guessed that the other party was playing tricks, so he specifically asked him to stay at home and not move, but he still followed.

Putting the shoes back in place calmly, Zhu Nanjiang didn't intend to settle accounts with the blind man.The blind man is loyal, but he is too brainy, but as long as he understands the rules and doesn't clearly violate himself—for example, deliberately intercepting his brother's news, he can tolerate the other party's small thoughts.

The gendarmerie has indeed already set their sights on Wen Changling and others.In fact, as early as more than ten years ago, the Jiangnan Press became a thorn in the side of the Japanese. Even if it moved into the concession, it could not escape the intimidation and destruction of the Japanese spies.

In recent months, knowing that the other party is transferring books and business personnel to the mainland, the military department even ordered the intelligence department to step up its surveillance and not miss any opportunity to strike.The two arrested workers had been secretly executed, and the surviving warehouses were also sealed up. The gendarmerie went out in person, so it's no wonder Tian Dongbao avenged his personal revenge.

Although the police station can't compete with the gendarmerie, after all, it's close to the water first. As soon as Zhu Nanjiang got the news, he informed Wen Changling and helped him escape several raids and arrests.

The war had been going on for three full years at this time, the situation in Europe was deteriorating, and the foreign concessions in Shanghai could not protect themselves, and they could only give in blindly to all kinds of unreasonable demands made by the Japanese side.Therefore, as long as the military department is determined to arrest people, even if they are in the concession, they can send the police to arrest them at any time. The Secret Service Division continues to arrest prisoners every day. Most of the time, the cells are overcrowded and cannot be tried.

Then, one day, Zhu Nanjiang suddenly saw He Tingxuan's name on the list of repeat offenders.

After the fall of Shanghai, He Tingxuan resigned from all positions that required public appearances, hid in the public concession and pretended to be dead.However, somehow the Japanese still found him, and forced him to be the chairman of the Sino-Japanese Joint Chamber of Commerce.

The so-called Sino-Japanese Joint Chamber of Commerce is just a name temporarily thought up by the Japanese military to search for the people's fat and anointment. Its purpose is to gather all the large and small businesses in the occupied areas to collect various fees and use them as military expenses.To put it bluntly, the chairman is collecting money, and he still forces the Chinese to pay the Japanese to beat the Chinese. Its nature is undoubtedly a traitor.

At this time, He Tingfan also understood the principle of bankrupting money and eliminating disasters, and while pretending to be sick, he took the initiative to donate a large sum of money to the Chamber of Commerce Preparatory Committee.The Japanese did not embarrass him anymore after getting the benefits, but since then they have come to collect donations every now and then.He Tingxuan watched helplessly as the property he had guarded for most of his life was plundered away, but there was nothing he could do to save his life.

He thought he would be able to escape if he bleeds, but he didn't expect that someone from the police station suddenly came to him the night before yesterday, and he was handcuffed to the police car without any explanation.He didn't know until he entered the interrogation room that his brother-in-law who was also in the British Concession was accused of hiding guerrillas.When the police rushed to arrest the people, the guerrillas had already disappeared, and even the brother-in-law was missing, so they arrested all relevant personnel indiscriminately and interrogated them one by one.

He Tingxuan has been separated from his hag-like wife for many years, and he doesn't even know what his brother-in-law is, let alone a guerrilla.However, the Japanese don't listen to explanations. If they don't know, they continue to interrogate until they know.Hiding anti-Japanese elements is a felony, and I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.At this time, no matter how much money you have donated, as long as you enter the interrogation room, you will be treated the same.

After Zhu Nanjiang was discharged from the hospital, Akio Sakura probably didn't feel at ease with him, so he arranged a Japanese consultant for him in the Secret Service Section. In addition to the consultant, some police officers were originally from orderlies.A few Chinese people knew about Zhu Nanjiang's relationship with He Tingxuan, so they ran to report to him in private.

Zhu Nanjiang didn't know how to react when he heard the news, he hesitated for a while and took him to the interrogation room.

In my impression, He Tingxuan was swollen into a steamed bun as early as ten years ago, but it didn't deteriorate much when I saw it today.The police brought him into the reception room. Zhu Nanjiang saw that his eyes were dull and his movements were stiff. After inquiring, he found out that he had just been whipped half an hour ago.

——He was so frightened after being whipped, it seems that this white flour steamed bun really didn't take a beating.

"Do you know why you were arrested?"

"know."

"Are you going to recruit?"

"I really do not know."

"I don't know, I have to recruit."

Zhu Nanjiang leaned on the desk, holding a cigarette in one hand, took two puffs and looked down at the materials on the table.

It's actually nothing to look at.Hiding anti-Japanese elements, if you recruit them, you will die or not, it's just the difference between sooner and later.From time to time, people were sent in for similar crimes. Most of them really didn't know it. It didn't matter whether they knew it or not.

"Am I...can't survive?" He Tingfan suddenly raised his head tremblingly, not fully, just enough for Zhu Nanjiang to see his whole face.

"Depending on the situation, I can live for a few more days."

"I really... don't know anything, you have to trust me..."

"I believe you are useless."

He Tingfan shivered, then slowly lowered his head.

When he was first brought into the interrogation room, he thought of Zhu Nanjiang—the third child is a high-ranking official, and the third child was the chief of the police. As long as the third child comes forward, he will definitely save my life!Although he hates me, as long as I beg him... I repent, I apologize to him, and I kowtow to him!As long as he is willing to save me, I am willing to do anything!

However, the moment he actually saw Zhu Nanjiang, he was timid.

He clearly remembered everything he had done to him, and how he had changed from a poor wretch to a mad dog.It was he who made the third child become like this, it was he who personally forced the third child into a demon.Everything is karma, everything is to blame, God arranged the result for himself as early as 30 years ago.

"I heard that very few people who enter the interrogation room can get out alive."

"Yes."

"I'm afraid of pain, those instruments of torture... I can't bear it."

"Afraid of death or pain?"

"I'm afraid."

Zhu Nanjiang looked at the person in front of him blankly, because he didn't know what to say, so he could only focus on smoking.

He has been a police detective since he was in his 20s. He has interrogated hundreds of prisoners and is used to seeing all kinds of "fears".It is not surprising that people are born with a fear of pain and death.

"I don't know how big brother is..." After a long silence, He Tingxuan spoke again.

"you ask me?"

"do you know?"

"I don't know, maybe he's dead."

Zhu Nanjiang remembered the figure he saw at the gate of He Mansion some time ago, and now thinking about it, it might be He Tingyu's soul.

Isn’t it often the case that before reincarnation, people go to the place where they lived before leaving for a look.So he should be dead, and this explanation is quite correct.

"Dead... Okay..." He Tingxuan muttered a few words inarticulately, then suddenly raised his head again, this time looking straight into his eyes, "Please, please give me a good time."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I can't take it, I can't take it... I'm afraid I'm going to say something."

"What do you know?" Zhu Nanjiang frowned.

"No, I don't know anything."

In fact, after the first whipping, he had an idea.Although he didn't know about the guerrillas, he knew something else, some information that might be beneficial to the military.If he can take the initiative to hand over the information with a good attitude, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope.

But now, he thought, forget it.Everything was as bad as it could be, life was hopeless, the war was in sight, and even money, the surest thing ever, could not be kept.How long will you have to endure such a day?

After all, I am also the son of a soldier. My elder brother died in battle. Even if I survived, what face would I have to go to see him in the future?

Zhu Nanjiang looked at him silently and didn't ask any further questions.

After the cigarette was finished, he called the police officer on duty, and the three returned to the interrogation room together.The wooden frame in the corner has been dyed dark red, soaked in the blood of countless people, and there is a smell of blood in the air.

"Two ten minutes."

"what?"

"I'll give you 10 minutes." He took the key and unlocked the man's handcuffs, "Pick one you can handle."

He Tingxuan suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes wide.

Zhu Nanjiang stopped talking, turned around and led the police back out.

After returning to the drawing room, he lit himself another cigarette.The clock on the wall was ticking, and his mind was empty, not knowing what to think.

After 15 minutes, the policeman knocked on the door and came in: "Section Chief, he is dead."

Zhu Nanjiang shook his hand and dropped a piece of soot: "How did you die?"

"Hanged."

"Okay, let's continue the trial."

"Senior?"

"Continue to interrogate until death."

The other party finally reacted: "Yes! I understand!"

Two days later, Zhu Nanjiang signed the report. He Tingfan died suddenly during the execution because he refused to confess, and his body was dumped in a random grave.
