Chapter 127 Taking the Punishment
When he arrived at the interrogation room, Jiang Binghui was very calm. He did not struggle at all and obediently let people hang him up.
"You are Chu Lingyun, right?"
Before Chu Lingyun started interrogating, Jiang Binghui spoke first, staring at Chu Lingyun.
This was the first Japanese spy Chu Lingyun met who came up and asked him a question. It was very interesting.
"How did you know it was me?"
Chu Lingyun admitted it and finally caught Yang Jian's employer. Except for Yamada Yoichi and Jiang Tengkong, all the Japanese spies he found in Wuhan were arrested.
"Chishima Keiko is my disciple. I conducted a detailed investigation after she was arrested. How could I not know you?"
Jiang Binghui actually laughed. Chu Lingyun didn't torture him immediately. After sitting down, he asked, "You know me, but I don't know you yet. Can you tell me about yourself?"
"Okay, what do you want to know?"
Completely beyond Chu Lingyun's expectations, Jiang Binghui actually agreed.
"Name, position, code name."
It would be best if he could speak up, which would save a lot of effort. As for whether what he said was true, Chu Lingyun would naturally verify it.
"My name is Tanaka Taro, an agent of the Japanese Special High Section Operations Group. I don't have a code name."
An agent from the action team?
This was Chu Lingyun's first contact with operatives from a Japanese spy organization, and Taro Tanaka was indeed of great value.
"What is your mission in Nanjing?" Chu Lingyun continued to ask.
"Kill you." Tanaka Taro smiled.
"Kill me?"
Chu Lingyun was stunned. He had never thought that he was going to kill him. However, this possibility was not impossible. Chu Lingyun had captured so many Japanese spies in Wuhan that he was probably already a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese secret service. It was not surprising that they sent someone to assassinate him.
"That's right, Huizi died at your hands. I must kill you to avenge her."
Tanaka Taro said coldly. He didn't look like he was being interrogated at all, but rather more like he was chatting with Chu Lingyun.
"Then why didn't you take action and instead left?" Chu Lingyun was skeptical about his words, but continued to ask.
"I received an order from above to go to Shanghai to carry out a new operation. I have no choice but to give up this place for now."
"Where did you receive the order?" Chu Lingyun asked immediately.
Shen Hanwen has been keeping an eye on him these days, and except for the two times when he lost him, he didn't make any unusual movements.
The fact that Guo Tian was able to easily lure him out after putting on makeup showed that he didn't know he was being monitored, otherwise Huang Baichuan's sudden appearance would have made him alert.
"You want to know? First, tell me how you found me. I believe I haven't revealed any flaws since arriving in Nanjing."
Tanaka Taro said with a smile. Chu Lingyun was very surprised and couldn't help asking, "Are you from Osaka too?"
He looks so much like Hayakawa Hirata. Could it be that he is also a selfish businessman who requires a trade-off for everything?
"I'm from Kyoto, what does this have to do with my problem?"
Taro Tanaka was also surprised and didn't understand why Chu Lingyun suddenly asked this.
"It's okay. I can answer your question. Remember Yang Jian, the man you hired? You shouldn't have hired a painter to cover up for Chishima Keiko. He has good painting skills and painted your appearance. Then, by chance, I brought your portrait, and someone else saw you."
What Chu Lingyun said was partly true and partly false. He did not reveal that Yang Jian was in Nanjing, nor did he let Jiang Binghui know when he started targeting him.
"So that's how it is. You're right. This is indeed my mistake. It hurt Huizi and myself."
Tanaka Taro said suddenly and sighed heavily.
He valued Yang Jian's ability to stay at home and was suitable as a cover, but he did overlook the painter's ability. This mistake made him very upset.
"Now it's your turn to answer my question." Chu Lingyun said.
"Did I ever say I would answer your question?"
Tanaka Taro looked at Chu Lingyun mockingly. Chu Lingyun's expression tensed up and he said slowly, "Are you kidding me?"
"I was just teasing you, what can you do about it? Unfortunately, I should have killed you first regardless of everything, but now I don't have any chance."
Tanaka Taro said regretfully, glaring at Chu Lingyun fiercely while speaking. If eyes could eat people, he would definitely swallow Chu Lingyun whole now.
"torture."
This was the first time that Chu Lingyun was fooled by a Japanese spy. One can imagine how angry he was. Tanaka Taro's attitude made everything he said before unreliable.
"Haha, come on."
Taro Tanaka laughed wildly, no, he should still be called Jiang Binghui. Chu Lingyun no longer believed anything he had said before, including his name.
"Pah pah pah."
The whip hit Jiang Binghui hard, but Jiang Binghui not only did not scream, but laughed even louder.
"It feels good, great, come on, have you eaten yet?"
The harder the whip hit him, the louder he screamed. It was the first time that Chu Lingyun had seen such an arrogant Japanese agent. He was caught here and still dared to deliberately make fun of him.
"Get on the brazier."
Chu Lingyun shouted. The whip was not very effective. The brazier was not a branding iron, but it was more painful than a branding iron.
Shen Hanwen personally brought the brazier. He was there when Chu Lingyun was interrogating him. He thought Jiang Binghui had confessed, but he didn't expect that he was deliberately playing a trick on him.
Apart from the hostility, Shen Hanwen actually has some admiration for such people.
It takes great courage to do such a thing in this place. If you deliberately provoke the other party after being caught, you will only suffer more.
Chu Lingyun came over and wanted to deal with Jiang Binghui personally. Chu Yuanze and several team members came forward and took off all of Jiang Binghui's shoes and socks.
"Come on, the harder you are, the more comfortable I feel, haha."
Jiang Binghui was still laughing, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed him. His body was in great pain and he was taking advantage purely verbally.
After taking off his socks, Jiang Binghui's feet were clean. There were calluses on his feet, but they had been cleaned.
When Chu Lingyun saw Jiang Binghui's feet, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.
Shen Hanwen and Chu Yuan each held one foot, preparing to press it into the brazier.
"Wait a moment."
Chu Lingyun suddenly stopped them, and the two looked up, confused.
Jiang Binghui's feet weren't actually in great shape, as evidenced by the calluses and newly broken skin. However, it was clear that his feet had been pedicured, and not long ago.
Jiang Binghui was hanging there, unable to lower his head, but he could notice that Chu Lingyun was looking at his feet.
Suddenly he put his feet into the brazier. Shen Hanwen and Chu Yuan were both shocked and had no time to stop him. This was the first time they saw someone put their feet in the brazier on their own initiative.
Everyone who had been tortured before had struggled desperately to get their feet away.
Chu Lingyun kicked the brazier fiercely, and the brazier flew out instantly. The burning charcoal inside scattered everywhere, and a piece of it even fell on Shen Hanwen's feet.
Shen Hanwen hurriedly kicked the charcoal off his feet, and soon he felt a burning sensation on his feet.
This is when wearing shoes. If you don’t wear shoes, your skin will be burned.
