Lin Chuang understood that a small person like himself without a backing could only rely on himself.
If the stolen money cannot be found in Yuan Zuocai's case, or if Yuan Zuocai refuses to speak out, he and Wu Liangce will definitely become the scapegoats for Yang Wenxuan and others.
Therefore, at this time, we must give up all illusions and all unrealistic ideas.
"Tou Chen, go to jail." Lin Chuang ordered.
The leader of the interrogation room is Chen Zhen.
"Yes, Team Leader Lin, just take a look at it. A person with such thin skin and tender flesh will cry for father and mother in a short while, and he won't be able to hold it back." When Chen Zhen heard about the punishment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly
.
Chen Zhen's father was a police officer in the former Qing Dynasty government. After the monarchy was overthrown, he inherited his father's career and entered the police station. Therefore, torture of prisoners is a family tradition.
Lin Chuang knew that Chen Zhen took pleasure in torturing prisoners. Others might not be able to bear it when they see the prisoners in pain that is worse than death, or they might not be able to do anything, but Chen Zhen would never do it.
The more torture he gets, the more excited he gets. The more the prisoner screams, the more it stimulates his nerves.
Afraid that Chen Zhen's hand would be careless, Lin Chuang specifically asked: "Tou Chen, I have some skills, don't cause any skin injuries."
"Team Leader Lin, I understand. Don't worry, I'll keep it so that he won't get hurt at all." Chen Zhen nodded.
Lin Chuang sat down at the interrogation table and squinted to see how Chen Zhen used torture.
"Brothers, first give Mao Wazi a tiger's stool and loosen his bones!" Chen Zhen ordered.
Lin Chuang could hear the excitement in this guy's voice, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself: "This guy!"
Chen Zhen took matters into his own hands and tied Yuan Zuocai to the tiger bench.
The tiger bench is a torture instrument in which the prisoner's upper body is tied to a pillar and his legs are fixed on the bench, making it impossible for the prisoner to bend over or move his legs. Bricks are then added to the feet to increase the height, allowing the prisoner's knees to endure tremendous pain.
Generally, they are added one piece at a time. If you don't want the prisoner's legs to become useless, adding three pieces is the limit.
The characteristic of this kind of punishment is that the longer the time, the greater the physical torture and mental will test of the prisoner.
It is difficult for ordinary people to survive three bricks.
Lin Chuang noticed that Chen Zhen did not add bricks one by one, but only put two bricks.
"Lin Chuang, you have to... die! Ah..., hiss..., it hurts me so much!" Yuan Zuocai screamed in pain, the muscles on his face twitching.
Lin Chuang sneered in his heart: "You are so stubborn. How can I let you go out in such a good manner?! If you are scolded, just scold me. I will call you daddy later!"
But what surprised Lin Chuang was that after waiting for a while, Yuan Zuocai stopped yelling and cursed, and gritted his teeth to hold back the pain.
This is numbing.
"Add another brick!" Lin Chuangming said.
He was afraid that Chen Zhen's men would be careless, so he specifically asked for an extra piece.
Chen Zhen followed his instructions and added another brick.
"ah!"
Yuan Zuocai couldn't hold on anymore and fainted with a loud cry.
"Wow!" Yuan Zuo woke up after a bucket of cold water was poured on him.
"Mr. Yuan, money is something external to the body, why do you need to hold on to it like this? Admit it, and you will be relieved. Besides, are you still thinking that Minister Zong will come to save you? Stop dreaming, the evidence is conclusive, Minister Zong will not
I will stand up for a fraudster." Lin Chuang stepped forward and grabbed Yuan Zuocai's hair that looked like it had been washed with water, seeming to persuade him, but actually dispelling his inner hope.
Lin Chuang has studied psychology and understands that when a person is in the most pain, a word from others can often give him a strong psychological hint, causing him to change his mind and make up his mind.
Furthermore, Lin Chuang felt that the reason why Yuan Zuocai did not plead guilty in the face of irrefutable evidence was that he had always had the hope that Zong Yuwen would save him. Only by completely crushing this hope would he give up his resistance.
Unexpectedly, this time Yuan Zuocai neither scolded nor cried out for pain, he just glanced at Lin Chuang and closed his eyes.
"I didn't expect this guy with a tattooed body to have such a strong will. It seems that the magic power of a huge sum of two hundred thousand dollars is very powerful." Lin Chuang thought to himself.
"Team Leader Lin, do you want to add more bricks?" Chen Zhen asked.
"No more, let Mr. Yuan feel the pain." Lin Chuang said.
Duration is the essence of punishment like the tiger bench. How can we not make good use of it?
As time passed by, Lin Chuang found that Yuan Zuocai still had his eyes closed, as if he had entered a state of forgetfulness and no longer felt the physical pain with his heart.
"This is a self-hypnosis method. It seems that the tiger bench has lost its effectiveness on Yuan Zuocai, and it will not have any effect no matter how long it takes." Lin Chuang thought to himself.
"Chen Tou, let's change the taste." Lin Chuang said to Chen Zhen.
"Hey, I didn't expect that this guy is really tough. Well, let him try the pepper water again," Chen Zhen said.
There was defeat and fierce reluctance in his voice.
After taking Yuan Zuocai off the tiger bench, Chen Zhen and another colleague poured him a large vat of chili pepper water.
"Cough cough cough......"
Yuan Zuocai coughed violently, bending his body into a shrimp shape, as if he was coughing up his lungs.
It lasted for several minutes before the severe coughing stopped.
"Ah, so spicy!"
Seeing this scene, Chen Zhen also muttered. Because Lin Chuang had said before, Yuan Zuocai could not be injured. He looked at the bamboo stick, the whip soaked in water, and the red-hot iron, and said helplessly: "Team Leader Lin,
What should I do? If I go up again, I will have to go to the electric chair."
"no!"
Lin Chuang rejected it outright.
Lin Chuang has two concerns.
First, the electrocution was too severe. If the prisoner had a heart problem, he would die. Yuan Zuocai was different from ordinary people. He could not get a confession, so he must not be allowed to die.
Second, looking at Yuan Zuocai's appearance, Lin Chuang felt vaguely familiar. Those who could withstand this kind of pain and torture had to have a firm belief or a determination to die.
Thinking back to Yuan Zuocai's abnormal behavior before his arrest, Lin Chuang no longer regarded Yuan Zuocai as an ordinary person.
In his opinion, Yuan Zuocai could only be a Japanese agent or an underground party.
Between the two, the former seems to be the most likely.
There are three reasons:
First, he has the experience of studying abroad in Japan;
Second, Yuan Zuocai's performance during the torture just now was very similar to "self-hypnosis." Lin Chuang knew that Japanese agents had all received this kind of training, and it would be difficult to defeat their psychological defenses under ordinary physical pain.
Third, the underground party will never use a secret weapon to infiltrate a key department such as the Ministry of Industry and Commerce for 200,000 French currency. Lin Chuang believes that the strategic vision of the party organization will not be so short-sighted.
Despite this, Lin Chuang did not dare to jump to conclusions. Although the possibility that Yuan Zuo was an underground party was less likely, the possibility existed after all.
If you punish the underground party you are looking for, it will really be a flood to the Dragon King Temple. If your own family does not recognize your own family, it will be a big sin.
Moreover, this move will definitely create obstacles for him to gain the trust of the party organization.
Therefore, with these concerns, Lin Chuang did not dare to use electrocution before confirming Yuan Zuocai's true identity.
