At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Shanzi, Xiaoru and Xiao Zhang came to Yukou Mountain again.
Unlocking the lock of the lockup room, Shanzi warned Xiao Pingtou: "Tubal Road will be here in a minute. Please behave yourself and cooperate with me."
Sure enough, the hour was short. Three Eighth Route Army soldiers, fully armed, appeared in the detention room. One of them was Yumei, one was Yanni, and the other was Persimmon.
In front of Shanzi, Yanni, as a correspondent, introduced Yumei and Persimmon to Xiao Pingtou.
During the introduction, Yumei's position remained unchanged, but was changed to her mother's surname. Persimmon's surname remained unchanged, but she was transformed from a reconnaissance platoon leader to a propaganda officer.
Under Persimmon's question, Yumei registered the plainclothes dogs in custody one by one.
Finally, Shanzi asked: "Political Commissar Zhang, have you brought everyone with you?"
Yumei said: "I'm sorry, Gang Leader Wang. I haven't brought the reward for the time being. Officer Wang and I rushed over. First of all, based on the principle of treating diseases and saving people, we should provide ideological education to these traitors to see if they have the desire and sincerity to repent and turn over a new leaf." Afterwards, it will be decided based on each person’s performance whether to execute or release them. But don’t worry, Leader Wang. Regardless of whether they execute or release them, the reward will not be less than a penny.”
Shanzi looked at Xiaoru with a confused look on his face.
Xiaoru simply said: "The matter with the surname Zhang is over. We are also in a dilemma. As long as you Eighth Route Army keep your word, we will do as you say."
Shanzi then asked: "How many days will it take to get Dayang?"
Yumei said: "Soon. It won't take more than three to five days at most. During this period, Gang Leader Wang, please cooperate closely with our work. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Shanzi said: "I am very jealous when it comes to money. As long as I give you money, I will never be ambiguous even if I go through fire and water."
Yumei smiled happily and then launched a psychological offensive against the plainclothes dog.
Yumei said...
We are all Chinese. We all have our own parents, wives and children.
The Eighth Route Army adheres to the principle of leniency for those who confess and severity for those who resist, and actively rescues those Chinese who helped the Japanese invaders do bad things, allowing them to regain a new life and embark on a bright road in life.
But for those die-hards who are unrepentant and insist on being enemies of the people, they will be severely punished without mercy. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed. Those who deserve to be beheaded will be killed. There will be no mercy.
After saying that, Yumei told Shanzi to prepare the carriage and assist the Eighth Route Army in interrogating the prisoners that night.

According to the interrogation plan of "plucking the hair first, then removing the thorns", Shanzi decided to interrogate Xiao Pingtou finally, breaking down his psychological defenses both timely and mentally.
The trial location is at the Hejiawan Village Office.
Just after eight o'clock, Zhuang Zhuang drove the carriage into the village office compound. The three plainclothes dogs in the carriage still had their hands tied behind their backs and their eyes were tied with black cloths.
After getting off the bus, the first plainclothes team member was escorted to the interrogation room by Wangwang. The other two were pushed by Xiao Zhang and Xiao Qin to the west wing to await trial.
In the interrogation room, Yumei and Persimmon were sitting at the same table, facing east and west. Behind them, Yanni was holding a shell gun and stared at them eagerly.
The plainclothes dog was sitting on the chair in front of the desk after being raped.
The interrogation was played by Persimmon: "Tell me. What's your name?"
The plainclothes team member replied: "Li Guang."
Persimmon slapped the table: "Please tell me your real name."
Li Guang was stunned for a moment. He couldn't catch his breath for a long time.
Yumei said: "We already have conclusive information. The names of all the people in the plainclothes team, including their parents' names and addresses, are all fake. Don't be fooled anymore."
Persimmon continued: "Our policy has been made clear by Political Commissar Zhang a long time ago. Now we only give you five minutes to answer the questions truthfully. If you continue to deny it after five minutes, you will die tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Persimmon glanced at his watch and reminded Li Guang to start counting.
Unexpectedly, within a minute, Li Guang took the initiative to answer any questions.
Persimmon said: "Please answer your real name."
Li Guang blurted out: "Han Guangliang."
Persimmon asked: "Where do I live? Who are the people in my family? What are their names?"
Han Guangliang not only told his real address, but also the names of his parents and family members.
It turns out that Han Guangliang lives at No. 43, Lane 2, Beiyuan Street, the county seat.
After Yumei finished recording, Persimmon asked Han Guangliang to carefully sort out his memory and provide the home addresses and names of other plainclothes team members.
Han Guangliang said that the plainclothes team has regulations that strictly prohibit team members from communicating their real names and addresses. Once violated and discovered, they will be severely punished. Therefore, they know nothing.
Persimmon then asked Han Guangliang to explain another issue: the spies deployed by the Yi team in various places.
Han Guangliang did not hesitate to confess the three spies under his control.
In order to cover for Bao Yulian, Persimmon asked again whether Bao Yulian was also a spy of the plainclothes team.
Han Guangliang said that Bao Yulian only had a good relationship with Captain Yan and had nothing to do with the plainclothes team. Captain Yan sent them this time, firstly, to teach Bao Yulian’s eldest brother a lesson from his enemies, and secondly, to recruit new members by the way.
Finally, Persimmon asked: "Han Guangliang. Are you willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army and make atonement for your crimes?"
Han Guangliang promised: "As long as I can survive, I can do anything."
After sorting out the interrogation records, Yumei placed it on the table together with the confession letter prepared in advance and asked Han Guangliang to sign it.

In accordance with the content and procedures of interrogating Han Guangliang, the two plainclothes team members awaiting trial were interrogated one after another.
The interrogation is over. It's past two o'clock in the morning.
Liu Erhu, who was finally put on trial, was stubborn and stubborn, which made Yumei and Shizi angry.
There is a north wing next to the Yukoushan detention room. Plainclothes team members who are willing to reform are locked up here. Not only are they covered with thick quilts, but they are given a meal of white flour steamed buns and meat dishes that night.
According to the interrogation strategy of killing one to serve as a warning to others, after breakfast the next day, Yumei publicly announced from the detention room that Liu Erhu would be executed on the spot and executed immediately.
After the announcement, Shizi and Xiaolin tied up Liu Erhu and quickly escorted him out of the door.
At the same time, Xiao Qin and others also pushed the plainclothes team members who had not yet been tried out of the detention room.
In the open space south of Dajia Valley, Yumei gave Shizi the order to execute Liu Erhu in front of Xiao Pingtou and four other plainclothes members.
It was only then that Liu Erhu cried loudly: "Please don't shoot. I will give an account. Full account."
However, Yumei angrily scolded: "Liu Erhu, you regret it too late. The policy of the Eighth Route Army does not tolerate bargaining. Be a good person in the next life."
After saying that, Yumei shouted quickly: "Execute."
As soon as he finished speaking, Persimmon pressed the shell gun against Liu Erhu's head. With the sound of a gunshot, Liu Erhu turned his head to the sky, his eyes widened.
Liu Erhu's public execution completely broke the psychological defenses of the other plainclothes team members. Therefore, the interrogation that night went extremely smoothly and exceeded original expectations.
What makes Yumei even more gratified is that Xiao Pingtou not only revealed his real name and background, but also revealed the following important clues...
Article 1. Yan Gaoming’s real name is Zhao Haiping. He lives in Xiaowazi Village, Huanggou District. His father, Zhao Lianjie, has been changed to Yan Shicong by the plainclothes team.
Article 2. There is only one true file of the plainclothes members. It is stored in the confidential room of the Japanese Army Brigade Headquarters.
Furthermore, the lists and files of spies from various places are also stored in the confidential room. Shiro Ishikawa and Zhao Haiping each hold one copy for daily reference.
Xiao Pingtou finally said that Zhao Haiping was a cunning old man and hid the spy information in the mezzanine of the office chair.
In addition to the above confession, Xiao Pingtou alone also confessed the names and addresses of twelve spies, including Wang Ergui from Heya Village.
