At 10 o'clock in the morning, No. 27, Xiaowu Road, the Secret Prison of the Police Department.

This is a courtyard composed of three two-story gray brick buildings. The wall is 3 meters high and there is a wire wire on the top of the wall. Facing the street entrance, is a black painted gate that opens across the street. There are guards guarding day and night guards on the inside of the door, which is gloomy and terrifying.

In the torture room on the first floor of the second building, there was a man tied to the pillar in the middle. His coarse cloth clothes were covered in blood and his head was tilted. This man was Carpenter Hu.

Sitting on the chair beside the window was the captain of the Operations Team of the Special Services Section of the Capital Police Department and the deputy captain of the Security Team, and the deputy captain of the Operations Team, Gu Maolin.

Gu Maolin shook a whip in his hand, "Pa--Pa--------" and whipped Carpenter Hu, "Do you say it? Why did your carpenter shop take in this fugitive?"

Carpenter Hu was woken up from his sleep by Gu Maolin with a whip. He spitted the remaining blood in his mouth forward, "Dog thing, I'm just a carpenter. Can you not save me when I die? There's nothing to say, I'll give you Mr. Hu a pleasure."

"I won't say it, right?" As he said that, he threw the whip at Carpenter Hu, and then he heard "Ah----", Carpenter Hu fainted again.

Chen Gong waved his hand to Gu Maolin, and the two walked to the outer room of the torture room together. Chen Gong said impatiently: "Lao Gu, this kind of tidying is not a solution, he is just a forceful person. Think about it again, from the Legislative Hutong to the Huji Carpenter's Shop, there are several alleys. How was the injured person there? Why didn't you go anywhere else? Who treated him during this period? It's not a solution if you continue like this. Start with the injured person. The explosion last night had already made Xinjing messy, so I have to go to Toyotomi's place quickly.

, You'd better find some clues here to see if there is any connection with the explosion last night? In addition, you must keep your mouth shut when you send someone to kidnap Lu Songmian. Once the news is leaked, that old guy Lu Shikun will definitely complain to General Rikiraki. In that case, I can't save you. Think about it, if the Japanese think it was the Manchu Iron explosion that caused the kidnap Lu Songmian, let alone Rikirakiraki, even Manchu Iron president Lin Botaro would not let you go. Who else knows about your kidnap Lu Songmian?"

Gu Maolin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously: "Captain, no one else knows about the kidnapping except you and me."

"Then why did you think of hiding people there?"

"That's right. When you went to Shenyang, will Inoue Guiyan be killed? Two days ago, the Taijun of Goucun asked me to transport the pine wood and cement that he and Inoue Guiyan resold together to the Manzhi warehouse, and prepare to transport it to Shulan, so that I could cash it in time. I took the opportunity to check the goods in Goucun and locked up the girl from the Lu family there. Except for other places, where can I escape the spy of the old fox Lu Shikun?"

"You are really okay. Not only did the person kidnapped in vain, but he didn't get a good amount of money from Lao Lu, but he also caused a big explosion to Man Tie. This is a big deal. In the future, you have to do your business honestly and deal with all the seven people involved in the kidnapping. Otherwise, if you find out that it was because of you, I can't protect you."

"Okay, captain, I'll count on you in my life, I'll listen to you in everything. I've long disliked that old Lu. I wanted to do this, and we brothers can make a fortune. In the future, my life will be in your hands. Don't worry, I'll hold the horse and fall into stirrups for you. Alas---------I said captain, I feel that there is something that I must tell you, and that Lu Shikun is suspected."

“What’s the matter?”

"It's very strange that Suzuki Yokoji, the inspector of the Central Bank, disappeared. I've already inquired about it. Lu Shikun was unwilling to participate in the affairs of the Central Bank. Speaker Zhang Jinghui recommended him as the deputy agent of the Central Bank. Later, after he took office, he was busy again and would go to the Central Bank to work for about three days. Since Suzuki Yokoji became the inspector of the Central Bank, Lu Shikun has not been involved in the affairs of the Central Bank. I heard that there were some unpleasant things among them. But strange things. Since Suzuki got sick for no reason, Lao Lu had visited Suzuki in person. Soon, Suzuki disappeared mysteriously, and his life and death were unknown. Do you think this Lao Lu has something to do with Suzuki's disappearance?"

"What you said is reasonable, but do you have no evidence? Even though he had conflicts with Suzuki, it was understandable to visit the hospital as a colleague. This is a breakthrough, but you have to find evidence, otherwise I would not be able to speak. Finally, when I have time, I took someone to Suzuki's house to find out if there was any clues. In addition, the night when Toyotomi Taijun pursued the injured fugitive, the night before Suzuki disappeared, at the entrance of the second school alley, he confiscated a bamboo and wood suitcase from He Jinshan, the owner of the Shin-Haita pawnshop. There was a pair of Go in the red sandalwood box. The man surnamed He said that he picked it up on the side of the road. After inspection, the chess piece of Go was soaked with venom, which was extracted from a flower called poinsettia. This poison can make the skin red and swollen. Pain. After being questioned, Boss He didn't know that the piece was poisonous, so who did this go? Check who lost this go? The second school Hutong is in the middle of the Legislative Hutong and Huji Carpenter's Shop; and on the same night, the fugitive escaped and the poisonous go appeared. Isn't it a coincidence? Maybe this go is a bit related to the injured fugitive. Go back and focus on investigating these two things. As for the new Deputy Director Lu, you should not touch him with your head. Although I have never seen him, he is not small and is above me. You can send someone to keep a close eye on him, but don't mess with him. Oh... By the way, I ask you, where was the one named Lu on the night the Mantel Warehouse exploded?"

"My man went to the Army Hospital. The wound named Lu was infected and hemorrhaged. He had never been out all night. He couldn't move even if he was injured. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Okay, you can check the source of Suzuki's disappearance and that go player. I have to go to Toyotomi Taijun as soon as possible. I don't know what this Gou Village is doing."

"Okay, captain, I will start with the two people we caught. I don't believe there are no clues on them."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

Gu Maolin bent his body and smiled and sent Chen out of the building.

Chen Gong hurriedly drove to the headquarters building of the Association.

Gu Maolin arrived in the torture room again and told the people around him: "Take this carpenter down and bring the injured young man out.

After a while, Zhou Xiaotian was brought in and tied to a pillar.

Gu Maolin said angrily: "Boy, you were stubborn yesterday. Today, I will let you taste the taste of my whip again." As he said that, he swung the whip and beat Zhou Xiaotian hard, making his skin bloom and blood flow.

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Your master, I have accepted your defeat. Whatever you do is to do is yours."

Gu Maolin refused to let go, "You just call me. Where are you from? Why did you run out of the Shuang German Arsenal?"

"I have no way to come. I went to Harbin to visit relatives. When I came back, I caught us. I didn't run out. I was like a guinea pig, and I became a Japanese experimental product?"

Poor Zhou Xiaotian, the young man, had not healed his gunshot wound yet. How could he bear such a punishment? However, he did not surrender. His tenacious struggle showed the precious integrity and qualities of a strong young man.

"Super the Great Suppression! I see that you will not shed tears without seeing the coffin. You must know that you have come out of the Shuang German Arsenal and it is impossible for you to fool it!" Gu Maolin shouted there with his waist crossed.

A policeman next to him touched Zhou Xiaotian's chest with a burning red soldering iron. He could only hear the "Si Lala----" sound, which made the young man faint in pain.

"Deputy Captain Gu, this man fainted, what should I do?"

"Then you have to ask. If you lock him and the carpenter up like this, I have to do something for Captain Chen."

"Okay." As he said that, he untied Zhou Xiaotian from the pillar, and another person came up and took him directly to the cell.

Gu Maolin suddenly seemed to remember something, "Li Jiu, come here."

The policeman named Li Jiu ran over quickly, Gu Maolin muttered in his ear for a while, and then Li Jiu went out first.

In the second building of this yard, it is a tube building with a patio. When Carpenter Hu woke up, he found that he had another cell for him, located in the first room on the west side of the second floor. Zhou Xiaotian, who had been sentenced, was also locked in a cell with him. Carpenter Hu saw that his injury was worse than himself, so he just sighed.

After a while, Zhou Xiaotian also became conscious. He said to Carpenter Hu: "Water, I want to drink water."

Carpenter Hu saw a clay pot next to the board shop, covered with a bowl with a porcelain drop. He picked up the bowl, poured half a bowl of water for him, and gently delivered it to Zhou Xiaotian's mouth.

Zhou Xiaotian had a little watery mouth, so he was about to say something. Carpenter Hu felt that he had changed the cell for no reason and locked them up again. There was something strange here.

He gently made a blocking move on his lips, signaling him not to speak.

"Child, you, just wait. Who knows which turtle girl put me in? Who did you say that I, an honest carpenter, offended? These days, there is no wind or waves, and disaster will come from the sky."

Zhou Xiaotian was awakened by Carpenter Hu's words. He understood that this was implying that there must be traitors around him and that he should not speak nonsense, but only to wait and see what happened.

Time flies very quickly. When it is almost dusk, someone brings in a wooden barrel to deliver food to them. Zhou Xiaotian is young after all, and he is secretly angry and has no idea of ​​eating.

Carpenter Hu said, "Child, we have a hard life. I feel sorry for you to come to my door and save you, but they caught it here. Leave it to fate. It is useless to be angry. Let's eat some for now and make your health better. Don't be tortured to death by others. First, make yourself not look like a human being. Obedient, eat something."

Zhou Xiaotian said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm implicating you."

"If you don't know where, people's hearts are full of flesh. Let him do whatever he wants. I am a bachelor, and I have no worries. Let him go. Come and have a meal."

As the two were talking, they saw a ragged man in the prison cell that was facing the aisle, holding a bowl and holding an iron fence and saying to Lao Hu: "Brother, are you enough food? I have two steamed buns here, and I have one, so I'll give this to you."

When Carpenter Hu saw this man, he was very unfamiliar with messy hair and dirty face. He stared at his red eyes. Jianghu's experience told him not to relax his vigilance, so he ignored him and said, "Thank you, we are enough to eat. I won't bother you."

The man was still not very willing. While gnawing on the steamed buns, he said, "Brother, why did you come in? Did you commit a crime? Or did you offend someone?"

Carpenter Hu said angrily: "God knows what's going on. We eat ours. I'm sorry, I don't have time to talk to you."

The man was obviously unwilling to give up, "Brother, you said you are the same. When you get here, you have to think of protecting yourself. This is the hell on earth. Even if you come in, you have to make some arrangements for you. You can take your head to the Japanese to make up for credit, or sell you as a ticket to the fellow congregation guys. In short, there are only two ways to get here. One is to cooperate with these police dogs. You can say whatever people ask you, and honestly, maybe you can let you go, and the other is to wait for secret execution or to be a ticket for the fellow congregation. Think about it. Maybe one day, I will be dealt with."

Carpenter Hu obviously didn't care much about this man's words, and didn't even reply, just sat there drinking cabbage soup.

Half an hour later, two policemen came in and opened the opposite iron fence.

A policeman said angrily: "You, you, you will be interrogated and courted. Come out-----"

The man shouted in panic: "Stop messing with me, I did nothing, the boss let me go. Please ------"

The two policemen took him out of the cell without saying a word and walked out.

Carpenter Hu looked in secret and saw that when he saw that the man was being carried out of the cell, his cloth shoes were brand new. His exposed ankles were white, unlike a prisoner. He was glad that he had not said anything else. Even if he told him here, he could not leave any unfavorable handle to Lu Shikun and Qingfengtang. How to deal with it? Lu Shikun must now know everything that happened to the carpenter shop. If Lu Wan found the nails he threw along the way, he would find this place. Old Lu and Qingfengtang's brothers must be trying to save themselves. Thinking of this, he saw that there were no other people around him, so he lay in Zhou Xiaotian's ear and said quietly: "That person was the traitor's eyeliner just now. Be careful, your uncle Lu and the others are thinking of ways outside, and wait quietly."

Carpenter Hu looked from the small window south of the cell. The night sky was clear and starry. He had learned calmness and calmness in the troubled times, like a mass of aura that infected Zhou Xiaotian.

Although Zhou Xiaotian is young, he knows that every experience is a test. He is worried about his uncle in the basement of the Shuang German Arsenal. That hell-like experience makes him feel scared and helpless.

The man who passed the cell never came back, Carpenter Hu confirmed his judgment that the man was the police's eyeliner. Since he had not obtained anything valuable, he had no need to come back.

All time left to Carpenter Hu was waiting. He knew that Lu Shikun would not give up on him or Zhou Xiaotian, because this was not only trust, but also a deep friendship developed through ups and downs.
