Chapter 1045: Approaching

Once an interrogation without moral bottom line begins, it means that whether it is the person interrogating or the person being interrogated, they start to transform from human to non-human.

Jiawen came to the interrogation room of the capital military region for the first time. The walls here were all waterproof tiles, white.

There were some places in the seams between the tiles that were dark red, which should be blood that had penetrated too deep and couldn't be washed away.

The room was filled with a smell of disinfectant, very strong, and it looked like this room should have just been painted.

Jiawen was controlled on a torture device similar to a cross. He had tried to resist, but except for being beaten and then having to obey, there wouldn't be any changes, so he started to learn to obey.

This wasn't a good phenomenon, he said to himself, but he couldn't refuse.

The room was somewhat cold and clear. After the soldiers who sent him left, a military officer with the rank of lieutenant colonel pushed a small cart in from the outside after seven or eight minutes.

There was a tray on the small cart, and there was some high-concentration alcohol in the tray.

He could know this point because when the small cart was pushed to his side, he could smell those strong alcohol smells.

Soaked in alcohol, there were some torture tools.

The officer closed the door, took off his military uniform, hung it on the clothes rack by the door, and his hat.

After hanging up his clothes, this officer rolled up his shirt sleeves and walked over. He glanced at Jiawen, then soaked his hands in alcohol, and then put on gloves.

He said while checking these torture tools, "They said you aren't a soldier, just a politician who participated in collusion, so I didn't let them prepare those large torture tools for me."

"Sometimes the enemy we have to face is very tenacious, just like the last one I met."

He said while taking out a narrow and long knife. Alcohol slid down its blade, and it also flashed with the cold light unique to metal under the light.

"I took out his intestines and put them in front of him, but he still didn't want to say. Finally, I had to drill open his brain. I wanted to see what was inside, what made him have such strong will and determination, even if he died, he had to keep the secret."

He put the knife back. "This process won't be very long. I am different from those who like to torture people for a long time. I believe that when your physiological fear reaches the limit, if you still don't want to say, then we are very likely not to dig anything out of you, so you don't need to worry too much, everything will be fast."

"There are only two kinds of people I have processed."

"Living people willing to communicate with us, and dead people who died with secrets. There is no other third choice."

He said while starting to untie the clothes on Jiawen, directly cutting them open with a disinfected pair of scissors, asking while cutting, "They hope I can get a list from you."

"A list about how many more people have defected to the Slades and sold out Dantra's interests. They believe that there must be many big figures on this list, and you are one of the insiders."

During the speech, he had already stripped Jiawen almost completely, letting Jiawen be completely naked in front of him.

Jiawen seemed to have discovered a slightly different place. This officer was a male. Males generally tend to be relatively resistant when touching the characteristics of another man, but he... didn't have this emotion.

He was just working very normally, and even very considerately helped Jiawen clean and disinfect.

"This is to avoid complications and death caused by infection because we didn't disinfect the wound if you couldn't help but say it in the end, so you don't need to worry about anything, everything is for your own good."

He said while changing to a small instrument, a pair of pliers like tiger pliers.

But the tiger mouth of the tiger pliers was staggered, able to tightly bite those things clamped by the pliers through the friction surface. The one in his hand was just a sharp nail and a groove to accommodate the nail.

He directly pinched a layer of skin from Jiawen, and then opened a mouth for it.

In an instant, the sudden pain made Jiawen couldn't help but curse. He also tried to resist, but it was meaningless.

When he was tied to this cross, it meant that he was just like what this officer said, only two roads to go.

Being taken down by others, not him struggling down himself.

The officer didn't wait for Jiawen to continue shouting, and pinched another piece of his skin, then clamped the tiger pliers in his hand, and in an instant, it was a penetrating blood hole.

This officer was worthy of being an interrogation veteran. These bloodlines looked scary, but in fact, not much blood flowed out, but four bright red holes with fat overflowing inside were in a place he could see, which was a physiological and psychological challenge for anyone who hadn't received anti-interrogation training!

"You damn well ask!" Jiawen couldn't hold on anymore. He had thought that the so-called interrogation was someone beating him, and then forcing him to ask for the result. He had never thought it would be like this!

When a stubborn person faced a calm pervert, it was very likely to cure his bad habits, not to mention that Mr. Jiawen couldn't be considered a truly stubborn person.

The officer smiled somewhat shyly. "I'm afraid that if I ask you and you don't say, it will waste our time?"

"So I let you feel it first, so that our next communication will be more convenient..."

Next was a very friendly communication. Both sides seemed willing to end today's work faster, but there were also some small differences.

"Is there the leader of the second largest party inside?" The officer recorded these contents in the notebook in his hand, and he looked up at Jiawen while speaking. Jiawen's eyes were somewhat dodging.

Obviously, this was the result they wanted. Under several previous friendly "negotiations," he had already admitted the fact of his collusion.

He admitted that he had handed over some military intelligence to the Slades in exchange for the Slades' support for the second largest party to come to power.

At the cost of sacrificing the lives of soldiers and civilians, he dealt a heavy blow to the president's authority.

At first, he didn't want to admit it, but after having five fingernails pulled out, he admitted it.

Now he couldn't talk about being covered in bruises, but it was definitely not much better.

Seeing that he had some hesitation, the officer picked up another torture tool again, and in Jiawen's "don't do that" full of fear, he made him scream again.

This time, he didn't hesitate, because he found that the injuries he suffered made him more and more uneasy and fearful. He nodded repeatedly. "It was the leader who asked me to contact..."

Soon he said the confessions the president wanted, and then pressed his handprint on all places involving names, place names, and time, and signed his name at the bottom of each page.

Soon the officer left, and the two soldiers who came in threw a set of clothes to him, took him to stop the bleeding, and treat him. He was still useful, in court.

In just one day, the president got three lists, and one guy died on the execution rack because of a sudden heart attack, otherwise it would be four. Looking at these materials in his hands, there wasn't completely the pleasure of getting what he wanted on his face, but also a trace of hesitation.

A big purge was good, but he would also completely stand on the opposite side of everyone, whether it was the second largest party, the current ruling party, or those capitalists, financial groups, families, all would stand on his opposite side.

They could allow someone to become president and hold the power of this country, but wouldn't allow a madman to use the power they bestowed to cause a fatal threat to them.

This was a very difficult step. Once stepped out, there was no way back.

He let the soldiers leave first, and he sat in the chair, watching the clouds slowly leave and come from the narrow space of the window, falling into deep thought for a while.

The disappearance of Jiawen and others also finally triggered the dissatisfaction and panic of the leader of the second largest party. Through some channels, they learned that these people had now been detained and had undergone interrogation. For a time, both the second largest party and the ruling party appeared some worried emotions.

The president's hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife. Would he raise the knife in his hand and slash down fiercely, or put it back into the scabbard?

Everyone seemed to be contacting everyone they could contact frantically. The originally stable Dantra domestic political environment started to move from stable to collapse because of the continuous failure of the war!

This also made them contact the Federation and Slade again. They were willing to pay more price to exchange for the re-outbreak of the war.

Only when external pressure continued to increase would the president and the military turn their attention from internal to external...

The situation in Dantra domestic started to become bad. It was like a pressure cooker with constantly increasing pressure, and no one knew when the cylinder couldn't bear the huge internal pressure and would explode all at once.

The situation on Lanse's side was much simpler than the complexity on that side. Persistent fighting consumed quite a few people on both sides, and "guards" were also formed in various places to protect the safety of the masses in the autonomous region.

The sound of gunfire that was originally some distance from Zhuolan was now getting closer and closer to Zhuolan. When it was relatively quiet at night, one could even hear the sound of gunfire and artillery fire outside the city.

The number of government troops was ultimately not dominant, and quite a few deserters appeared in the government troops. They were different from those insurgents, they still had a way out.

Put down the weapon, take off the military uniform, and go back home to be an ordinary commoner.

And those insurgents, even if they took off their military uniforms, as long as the government army found them, they would also take extreme measures.

More and more people flocked to the concession. Perhaps for them, only the concession at this time was safe.

"The number of people pouring in is increasing, and it has started to affect the local order, so..."

Several concession officials stood in Lanse's office, reporting the situation here to him.

Too many people poured in. Lanse also indeed discovered this situation when he turned around in the concession these days. Those people who came from outside the concession crowded on the roadside.

They hadn't undergone any civilized "transformation" and still maintained the bad living habits and low quality of Lapa people. Many people defecated everywhere, even if they slept by their own excrement.

They would also beg everywhere during the day, or even steal. The police station already had quite a few cases of reporting.

And even if these people were caught by the police, it wasn't a good choice.

Locking them up was equivalent to providing them with a free place to eat and rest. I'm afraid more people would start to commit crimes actively, trying to get themselves put into the prison here in the concession.

But if they didn't care, these people's courage would get bigger and bigger.

Lanse sat there thinking for a while. "Continue to use whip punishment to deal with them, whip fiercely, and throw them out of the concession after whipping."

"When necessary, you can catch a few typical examples."

Some time ago, they didn't quite understand what "catching typical examples" meant. During this period, Hu Zi vividly taught them a lesson.

Since Hu Zi started to deal with those "awakened crowds," people discovered the terror hidden in this young guy's body.

Some time ago, quite a few people learned the parades and demonstrations of the Federation. They appeared in the concession holding slogans, roughly meaning that this land was Lapa's, the "Lapa Treaty" signed by President Diego was illegal and had no benefit, demanding Lanse and the federal people return the land here to Lapa, instead of continuing to occupy it.

These people didn't show up before because those anti-government armed forces hadn't entered the Zhuolan area, so they didn't dare to stand up and do so.

But as the anti-government armed forces kept approaching Zhuolan, these people started to show up.

No matter whether they were controlled by some people to make such a choice, or they really thought that doing so had any use, in short, Lanse had already let Hu Zi deal with it, and also gave him some hints.

Strictly, heavily, don't be afraid of the people's discussion.

In just two weeks, those people who could be seen from time to time disappeared from the street.

As long as they were caught by Hu Zi, they would be secretly dealt with after suffering all kinds of torture.

Before, some people wanted to watch Hu Zi's joke, feeling that he was too young to be a sheriff, saying he might mess up this matter.

But his performance made everyone shut their mouths, so much so that now Hu Zi already had his own nickname—Hyena.

It wasn't that no one had reported Hu Zi, saying he abused the death penalty, saying he didn't follow the law and caught people casually.

But this wasn't the damn Federation. Things applicable in the Federation, including moral bottom lines, weren't suitable for use here.

The federal government wouldn't deal with those parading and demonstrating people, of course, only the majority, sometimes they would also find ways to solve some extreme demonstrators.

But in Lapa, no one cared whether their free spirit was advocated, and no one cared whether their life and property were guaranteed.

This is Lapa, the place where barbarism and civilization intersect, the boundary between heaven and hell.

This actually also reflected from the side that the federal cultural output was successful. It only took more than a year, and Lapa already had people who started to believe in that set of things of the Federation. This was the symbol of success! ===== CHAPTER 1046 =====
