Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 1118 Meeting and Sharing in Half

The interrogation room at the Shimen Military Police Headquarters was gloomy and damp.

This place was originally a church hospital in Shimen. After the Japanese and the British and Americans completely broke off relations, the North China Area Army occupied a large amount of British and American assets, and the hospital naturally ceased operations. Uchida Eisuke took a liking to the brick and stone structure and the large number of basements in the place, and after some minor renovations, he used it as the new office location for the Shimen Military Police Headquarters. The basements were naturally turned into interrogation rooms and prison cells.

While places like Beiping and Tianjin had more frequent commercial activities and a greater number of powerful departments, making institutions like the Military Police Headquarters particularly strong but not to the point of being all-powerful, in Shimen, Uchida Eisuke's influence was much greater, making him more like a local tyrant.

The arrested woman was handcuffed and shackled, all heavy steel. To prevent her from committing suicide, her mouth was pried open with a bit-like object, and her handcuff chains were threaded under her shackles, forcing her to maintain only a very strange and torturous deep bent-over position.

Even without binding her, she lost the ability to resist and escape.

As Uchida Eisuke entered the interrogation room, the military police guarding him immediately stood up and saluted.

The woman wasn't particularly beautiful, but she had a dignified appearance and a refined demeanor. After being arrested, she didn't struggle violently or show any despair; instead, she remained unusually calm.

Eisuke Uchida liked opponents like this. Whenever he caught someone like this, he knew he was about to make a name for himself.

He was not in a hurry to interrogate. Before the interrogation, he preferred to obtain more information in order to better control the pace of the interrogation and break the will of the person being interrogated more quickly.

Shortly after, the head of the counter-espionage department came in and handed Uchida Eisuke a document.

Uchida Eisuke looked at it with great interest. After a while, he looked up with amusement and said in fairly fluent but strangely accented Chinese, "Chen Xia? The information shows that you used to be a nurse at a Western medicine clinic. When did you become a communicator for the Red Army? Or was your nursing job a cover all along?"

Chen Xia remained silent.

Uchida Eisuke waved his hand, and the head of the counter-espionage department personally stepped forward to unlock her handcuffs, made her sit up straight, and then tied both of her hands to the iron frames on either side.

“Let’s make a deal. The object of the deal is that you reveal your superior and his hiding place. The price of the deal is that I will keep hurting you until you feel fear, break down, and finally beg me to make the deal with you. Note that if you have not completed this deal by tonight, then this deal is invalid. Regardless of whether you reveal anything in the end, I will continue to hurt you, torture you, and try my best not to let you die.”

Uchida Eisuke revealed a devilish smile. Just then, the head of the counter-espionage department approached him again and whispered something to him.

Uchida's smile grew even more sinister, his face revealing an increasingly pleased expression. "Chen Xia, if you insist on not confessing before dawn, I'll give you a little surprise. You must hold on!"

Chen Xia trembled all over.

Then came all sorts of inhumane torture. The military police in charge of the interrogation first inserted red-hot iron rods into her fingernails one by one, and then used pliers to pull out her fingernails.

During this process, Chen Xia remained silent, trembling all over, except for occasionally letting out a few shrill screams.

Next, the military police began to torture her by twisting her joints. First, they put her on the tiger bench, and then they twisted her arms backward in a crisscross motion until her arms were completely dislocated.

Several hours passed, and dawn was breaking.

Eisuke Uchida returned to the interrogation room, holding the hand of a girl who looked about four or five years old.

When the girl came in and saw Chen Xia's miserable state, she immediately started crying out.

"Mommy mommy!"

Eisuke Uchida patiently took the rope and, amidst the little girl's terrified gaze, tied her up.

"Chen Xia, you want to send your daughter away? I don't know when you realized the danger, but you made the arrangements too late, and you found the wrong people. The neighbor you found, when he got to the checkpoint at the edge of the city, was scared by us and confessed everything. Your daughter is such a lovely little girl. I wonder how long you can hold out this time?"

Chen Xia completely broke down, struggling frantically and screaming, "Beast! Beast! She's just a child! Use whatever means you have on me!"

Eisuke Uchida sneered, picked up a red-hot branding iron, leaned close to the little girl, and said in a chilling tone, "I'm asking you, who is your superior, and where do you meet with him?"

"It's Zhang Lu! It's Zhang Lu!"

"Who is he?!"

"Zhang Lu is in charge of the underground transportation line of the Northern Bureau, and he is my direct superior..."

Where is he?!

"Beijing, Huguosi Street, Yongsheng Photo Studio..."

After saying this, Chen Xia burst into tears.

Eisuke Uchida threw away the soldering iron, turned around and went out.

Before leaving, he instructed the head of the counter-espionage department, "I'm going to Beiping. You continue interrogating Chen Xia, dig out all the remaining members of their group in Shimen, and then get rid of these two in the house."

"Hayi!"

Today, a thick fog descended upon Shimen, turning everything into a white expanse. Uchida Eisuke rushed to the station to catch the earliest train heading north.

............................

In the afternoon, Eisuke Uchida led his men to Beiping and went straight to the Beiping Military Police Headquarters.

The fact that a military police commander from out of town had come to the military police headquarters in Beiping meant that something important must have happened. The military police dared not delay and immediately reported to Hanaya Masashi.

Hanaya Masashi soon met with Uchida Eisuke.

"Uchida-kun, what brings you to Beiping all of a sudden?"

"Commander Huagu, there is a case I would like to ask for your help with. This matter is of great importance and requires the selection of your most elite personnel to make the arrest. Once the person is captured, it is very likely that the Red bandits' transportation network in North China will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

Hanaya Masashi's spirits lifted. "Uchida-kun, do you have concrete leads?"

“Yesterday, we captured a key communicator for the Red Army in Shimen. Last night, she confessed that the underground liaison officer for the Northern Bureau of the Red Army was in Beiping!”

Hanaya Masashi suddenly stood up. "Where is he?"

At this point, Eisuke Uchida fell silent again.

Hanaya Masashi understood immediately and said apologetically, "I was too hasty. Uchida-kun found me because he trusts me. How about this, we form a joint action team, with you and me serving as team leaders. I will immediately organize the elite troops from headquarters to carry out the arrest according to your plan. What do you think?"

According to Eisuke Uchida's idea, it would be best if he were the group leader and Hanaya were the deputy group leader, but since this was on someone else's turf, they had to "share the spoils."

Just as Uchida was about to agree, Hanaya Masashi suddenly said something else.
