Chapter 108 Inoue Mansion (please recommend monthly tickets for collection)
"Eiye, you can't do this." Aoi shouted, and was immediately punched by Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Officer." Eguchi Hide also looked at Cheng Qianfan, "I ask you to stop torturing Mr. Xiaolin. In exchange, I will answer your questions."
Mr. Xiaolin was the one who was sitting on the tiger bench and enjoying the 'branding iron' appetizer. At this time, he had passed out many times and was frequently awakened by cold water. Now he was tortured to the point of passing out again.
“Eguchi Hideya, you bastard!”
“Yingye, what are you doing?”
The remaining two men, Rite Zhuangruo, who was tied to the wooden frame, shouted wildly.
Cheng Qianfan waved his right hand, and two agents came up and whipped him hard with a whip. The whip dipped in water hit the person's body, causing an intimate physical and sensory reaction to the body, and a burst of screams.
Leather whips will be coated with grease and other antiseptics for maintenance. This will reduce the friction. In other words, if it is too smooth, the strength and pain caused by hitting the person's body will be weakened.
If it is dipped in water, the small burrs on the fur surface of the whip will expand due to the adsorption of water, increasing friction.
Each time the whip is struck, the burrs on the surface of the seemingly smooth leather whip are like saw teeth that are invisible to the naked eye.
Eguchi Hideya's ears felt as if they were blocked by cotton. He chose to block these sounds. A voice in his heart roared:
Eguchi Hide is also a true warrior.
He did not betray the empire.
He is great and selfless.
He is doing it for Keiko!
For these companions!
For pure love, for the lives of companions.
I would rather suffer the misunderstanding and make such a sacrifice.
This is great endurance.
Eguchi Hide also found a "sacred" reason for himself.
He said this to himself repeatedly.
…
“First tell me which secret service agency you belong to!” Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, “Besides, you are not qualified to make demands from me. The answer to this question is a condition for you to save the lives of your companions.”
“Okay, I say.”
“Eguchi Hideya, you bastard, you are such a coward!” Kurai cursed.
"Kurai-kun, I can welcome death with my head held high, but I cannot accept watching you being shot because of me." Eguchi Hideya said with a painful expression, "Mr. Officer, we are affiliated with the Inoue Mansion Endo Group."
"asshole!"
“Damn it!”
Cheng Qianfan frowned, "It's too noisy."
Lu Da picked up the rag that was used to gag his mouth.
Cheng Qianfan walked to the brazier expressionlessly, picked up the red-hot iron, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke.
It wasn’t just the addiction to cigarettes. The air in the torture room was filthy, with the smell of dirty blood, urine, and burning. The smells were mixed, but cigarettes actually had a refreshing effect.
He turned around, holding the soldering iron and going to do it himself.
“I can do this kind of rough work.”
Lu Da hurriedly came over in two steps, holding a soldering iron in one hand, and walked directly to the wooden frame, one on each side, and pressed **** the chests of "Cangjing" and "Oli".
White smoke mixed with the smell of roasted meat filled the air, and both of them screamed and passed out.
"Okay, now we can continue to communicate." Cheng Qianfan looked at Eguchi Hideya, "Your name, age, place of origin, and position."
“Eguchi Hideya, 26 years old, a native of Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku Island, a member of the intelligence team of the Endo Group of the Inoue Mansion.”
Cheng Qianfan's heart moved. He remembered the cherry blossom token he found in Lao Mo's place. The vague writing on the front of the token. At that time, he had guessed that it might be a field, a sky, or a well.
Could it be related to the Inoue Mansion?
“Inoue Mansion.” Cheng Qianfan asked coldly, “Aren’t you working in Shanghai?”
"Mr. Officer, do you know about the Inoue Agency?" Eguchi Hide couldn't help but asked in surprise. The Inoue Mansion has been established for more than a year. Because it has no superficial contact with other official Japanese spy agencies, it has always been very hidden. It can be said that its reputation is not obvious.
Unexpectedly, it has already attracted the attention of the Chinese secret service?
Cheng Qianfan sneered, "I'm asking you, just answer my questions. Now let's talk about the situation of Inoue Mansion in detail."
Eguchi Hide also consciously understood that this was a test of his answer, and he did not dare to hide anything.
Furthermore, he had no intention of hiding it. Eguchi Hide was also very smart. He knew that if he decided to surrender, he would have to sell his side thoroughly so that he could have the greatest chance of survival.
A thoroughly "well-behaved" Japanese agent who sells out his own intelligence will surely be of interest to the Chinese secret service.
…
Inoue Mansion was founded by Inoue Yan, a ronin from the Japanese Heilong Club, and was not affiliated with the Japanese military or any other official spy agency.
Hiko Inoue used the development of Japan-China trade as a cover, recruited a group of ronai from Japan as the backbone, and bribed some traitors as minions. His main tasks were to spy on intelligence, assassinate, kidnap, and sabotage.
Be ruthless, use any means, and have no bottom line.
This is the way Inoue Mansion behaves.
In addition, because the Inoue Mansion attaches great importance to "recruiting" local traitors and is very familiar with the local situation, the Inoue Agency has repeatedly accomplished some tasks that other Japanese spy agencies have been unable to complete.
Hence, although the Inoue Mansion is just a spy organization composed of Japanese ronin, it is not an official Japanese organization.
However, due to their outstanding achievements in espionage activities, they were recognized and actively supported by the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters and the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.
In terms of activities, it is even more supported by the funds. Inoueya can even receive the Japanese headquarters or consulate in the Shanghai and Japanese Army in Shanghai at any time.
…
“Hiroshi Endo is the leader of this intelligence team?”
“Yes, the team leader is Hiroshi Endo, a fellow Osaka fellow of Director Inoue.”
“The names and identities of several other people.”
“The first person killed by Mr. Officer was Shoichi Maeda. He was a telegraph operator.”
Hearing this, Cheng Qianfan showed an annoyed expression.
In fact, I was very happy in my heart. It was indeed good luck. I randomly chose a guy who was "faked to death" and turned out to be a telegraph operator. It would be a pity if the guy he actually shot to death was a telegraph operator.
Seeing the annoyed look of the national army officer, Eguchi Hide also sighed. In this group, he had a good relationship with Maeda Shoichi. Unexpectedly, Maeda was shot to death by the Chinese officer when he came up.
“The second person shot to death by Mr. Officer was Kinoshita Hyosaburo, who was an action team member.”
“Oguri Motomitsu, action team member.”
“Shinnosuke Kurai, action team member.”
“Jun Kobayashi, member of the intelligence team.”
Seeing Eguchi Ying also hesitating in his words, Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly.
“Jun Kobayashi often sleeps with Hiroshi Endo.” Eguchi Hideya said quickly.
Cheng Qianfan frowned. This kind of thing is not uncommon among Japanese people. When he was at East Asia Tongwen College, he had heard about the special habits of some Japanese students.
“So, Jun Kobayashi will know some of Hiroshi Endo’s secrets?”
"Maybe." Eguchi Hide was not sure. They didn't think highly of Jun Kobayashi, so their relationship with Kobayashi was very average.
“Why did you leave Shanghai and come to Hangzhou?” Cheng Qianfan asked a question that concerned him very much.
“The Endo team came to Hangzhou to spy on intelligence. It was an order issued by the Imperial Army Staff Headquarters to the Inoue Residence through Colonel Kage Sasayaki of the Imperial Consulate in Shanghai.” Eguchi Hideya answered honestly.
Second update, please collect it, please recommend it, please give it to me, and please give me your monthly ticket.
