1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1709
Planning an armed riot in the environment of Xingdao, Qin Huacheng felt that these Spaniards were really trying to die.According to what he has learned so far, nearly one-third of the island's population is the Haihan regular army stationed here, and this army has just returned to Xingdao after completing its combat mission in Manila. The first-line combat troops rather than some logistics engineering troops.The Spaniards were defeated even when they had the right time, place and people in Manila, but now they are on the territory of Haihan, and they are all unarmed prisoners, and they are still trying to escape through armed riots. What are the possibilities?
Qin Huacheng even had a new idea. At this stage, by reporting and exposing these people who planned the riot, he was actually saving their lives.Because the labor force on Xingdao is a very precious resource, as long as these people have not committed unforgivable capital crimes, even if they are investigated, the subsequent punishment measures will not endanger their lives.But if they really dare to rebel, the leading group will be dead. Presumably the warden Qin Bodu doesn't want the situation to develop to that extent. It will be good for everyone to bring out these dangerous elements and report them earlier. benefit.

Although Qin Huacheng has worked as a public security policeman in Manila for a period of time, after all, he has lived under the rule of the Spaniards for more than 20 years, and the change of position cannot be achieved overnight. If he is to be ruthless in punishing the Spaniards, he still has a little grudge in his heart. exist.Thinking in this direction, Qin Huacheng let go of most of his ideological burden, and no longer felt guilty or uneasy about betraying the Spanish prisoner's secrets.

Qin Huacheng didn't dare to conceal the progress he had made, so he took the initiative to inform Qin Bodu and ask for instructions on the next move.Sure enough, Qin Bodu didn't want the matter to get out of hand, so he asked Qin Huacheng to get the list of organizers as soon as possible, and then the prison authorities would deal with these dangerous elements.

Now that the matter has developed to this stage, it is much easier for Qin Huacheng to gain the trust of the prisoner leader than it was at the beginning.With Qin Bodu's instruction, he can now disclose to the prisoner leader the time when the guards change shifts and the loopholes during the period, as well as the place where the guns are stored next to the guard's residence. This information is very important to the prisoners who want to rebel, and The most important thing is that they can't verify its authenticity before taking action, so they can only choose to trust Qin Liancheng.

Qin Liancheng's "enthusiasm to help" finally won back the trust of the Spaniards. The two prisoners first disclosed to him the key personnel involved in this matter so that they could formulate a more detailed action plan.To Qin Huacheng's surprise, there were quite a few prisoners involved in planning the riot, and there were more than 20 small bosses who were directly responsible to the two prison chiefs.And this was not what frightened Qin Hua the most. What really frightened him was that some of the guards seemed to have been bribed by these prisoners in some way, and might cooperate with the prisoners when they rioted.

This discovery frightened Qin Liancheng. If any of the bribed guards knew his real mission, then he would hang out with these Spaniards every day and be in danger of being exposed at any time.Qin Liancheng didn't dare to delay any longer, so he quickly reported the situation he knew to Qin Bodu, and explained the risks involved.

If it were another person, Qin Bodu might order him to continue the investigation and dig out the bribed guards, but Qin Liancheng is the person selected by his immediate superior Tan Juren, and he doesn't know if there is anything special about it. Be careful, but you must not risk Qin Liancheng's life, otherwise, if Qin Liancheng is really harmed, Tan Juren will be held accountable afterwards, and he will not be able to explain to his superiors.

"Then prepare to close the Internet cafe!" Qin Bodu weighed it, and decided to take advantage of the fact that the current situation is still within the controllable range, to close the Internet and arrest people earlier, to eliminate potential dangers in time, and by the way, let Qin Liancheng get out of this half-hearted situation. Get relief from undercover state.

With the list of suspects provided by Qin Liancheng, it is naturally not a difficult problem for the prison to control these prisoners. The only loophole may lie in the guards who have not been clearly inquired by Qin Liancheng.But this is not a big problem, at most it is a little more hands and feet and time to get the information from the Spaniard.So one night, Qin Bodu made a special application to transfer two platoons from the garrison to Xiying District to carry out the arrest task.

The arrestees were all locked up in the number, and there was nowhere to escape. They only needed to catch people one by one according to the list, so the entire arrest process seemed to be uneventful.Among them, several prisoners who tried to resist were immediately suppressed by ruthless force, but no one was killed.

Immediately after being arrested, these people were shackled and dragged outside, and they could vaguely guess why they were arrested by looking at each other.And the prison authorities were able to arrest them simultaneously in this way, obviously because they had obtained a detailed list beforehand, in other words, they were betrayed.But as for who is the culprit, almost no one would associate this matter with the Chinese translator who was not present at this time.After all, only a few people know that the information Qin Huacheng possesses is enough to destroy the network they have painstakingly managed. Most people just think that Qin Huacheng is just a translator who likes to chat with people.

In just over an hour, the prison authorities completed the arrest of the 23 people on the list.However, it was too late to celebrate at this juncture, and the prison authorities immediately started interrogating the 23 people, trying to catch the ghost before dawn.

Although Qin Huacheng did not need to participate in the arrest process, he could not avoid the interrogation of the prisoners as an interpreter. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the prison to proceed with the emergency interrogation of these prisoners.Although there were other translators who knew Spanish in the labor camp, their understanding of the case was far inferior to that of Qin Huacheng, the client.Moreover, in this case, Qin Bodu personally interrogated the prisoner. If Qin Huacheng didn't want to waste all his efforts, he could only do his best to cooperate.

Although this arrangement seemed a bit unfriendly to Qin Huacheng, it was also part of his mission, and it was too important for him to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and do this job.

Gago and Rodriguez, the two chief prisoners, were the first to be interrogated by the prison, and the moment they saw Qin Huacheng appear, they naturally understood why they were suddenly arrested—if there was one person who had no scruples If he betrayed them, then this person can only be Qin Liancheng.

For this almost betrayal experience, the two reacted completely differently. Gago expressed his anger with saliva without hesitation. Of course, if he hadn't been restrained by shackles, it might not be the light spittle that hit Qin Huacheng's face. , but a heavy fist.Rodriguez, on the other hand, was extremely indifferent, completely ignoring the questions translated by Qin Huacheng, with an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation.

Qin Huacheng didn't have a good solution to this, but Qin Bodu would not tolerate these prisoners putting on airs in front of him, so he would order them to be punished.Haihan has a relatively in-depth research on the operation of torture to extract confessions, and the attributes of the practice objects are quite rich, covering many countries, races, and occupations in the East and the West in this era, and he has long summed up a set of very practical torture methods.It is very difficult for ordinary people to keep a secret under Haihan's method of extorting a confession, but it is easier to kill oneself by biting one's tongue.

Although Gago and Rodriguez who were interrogated were active soldiers before this, their willpower is far superior to that of ordinary people, but whether it is anger or indifference, their personal emotions have no obvious effect on resisting Haihan's torture methods .After only three rounds of torture, Gago couldn't take it anymore and gave up. Rodriguez was a little better. Before the fifth round started, the masked man who saw the execution had already taken out a hacksaw and was about to chop his fingers. The toes were sawed off one by one, and finally he couldn't stand it and collapsed.

Although Qin Huacheng had worked in both the army and the police force, he had never seen such a bloody scene of execution, and he almost vomited.It was only at this time that he realized that the risk he had taken was not small. If he failed to catch these dangerous elements, he might be the one who suffered the most.

The interrogation lasted until midnight, and the two chief prisoners were finally pried open one after another, telling Qin Bodu what they knew.As an interpreter, Qin Huacheng dared not slack off in the slightest, and worked hard to translate the conversation between the two sides word by word.

After Qin Bodu asked the confession, he asked his cronies to lead the military personnel to arrest the inner ghost of the guard who the two confessed.The guard who was bribed has indeed recognized Qin Huacheng who appeared in Xiying District every day recently, but fortunately he didn't know that Qin Huacheng's real mission was to investigate the details of the Spanish prisoners, otherwise Qin Huacheng would probably have died if he leaked the news to the Spaniards. He died in Xiying District in a daze.

"I'm hungry, go and get some food!" Qin Bodu rubbed his belly and ordered to his subordinates, "Prepare one for him too."

Seeing that he was pointing at himself, Qin Hua hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

"You performed well this time, even better than I expected. I will record this credit for you first!" Qin Bodu was in a good mood at this time, and he did not hesitate to praise Qin Huacheng.

Qin Huacheng quickly responded: "It's thanks to the master's careful planning, and the villain is only following your orders, and dare not be greedy for credit."

Qin Bodu was very satisfied with his humble attitude, nodded and said: "After this matter is settled, I will recalculate your prison time. Don't worry, the conditions promised to you in advance can be fulfilled!" "

Qin Huacheng was overjoyed, and quickly thanked Qin Bodu again.The reason why he took the risk to take this job was because the Haihan officials claimed that they could make meritorious deeds.Now that the task has been basically completed, the effect seems to be pretty good, and the next step is to wait for Qin Bodu to give the specific reward content.As for the calculation of the sentence, Qin Huacheng reckoned that more than 20 prisoners were arrested this time, as well as the inside guards who were exposed. Even if one person was added to the sentence, the three-year sentence would almost be offset proportionally.If Qin Bodu's promise can be fulfilled without any compromise, maybe it will be just around the corner to regain his freedom.

He took down so many people in one go, and uncovered the riot that the Spanish prisoners were planning. Alarmed the executive committee.Of course, he had to ask his boss Tan Juren for instructions on how to operate in order to maximize profits. After all, such a big matter had to be credited afterwards, and it was not something that a small hard labor camp warden could afford alone. We must first give the main credit to the top, and let Tan Juren take the lead.

In the middle of the night, the kitchen in the hard labor camp couldn't make any special supper, so they brought a few bowls of noodles to the investigators, and Qin Huacheng was the only prisoner among them, which was considered an extremely rare special treatment.Qin Huacheng didn't dare to neglect such "preferential treatment", so he ate up the bowl of noodles, and even wiped out the soup and water in the bowl.

The next morning, when the sky just dawned, Qin Bodu came to Tan Juren's residence and waited in order to report the investigation of this case to his superiors as soon as possible.

Tan Juren was quite surprised after listening to the report on the case. Regarding Qin Bodu's arrangement for Qin Liancheng to investigate the case, Tan Juren only heard Qin Bodu mention it once, and did not pay much attention to this arrangement, but he did not expect that it would be so big after the investigation case.If it hadn't been cracked in time, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable.

"It's a good job. Remember to get rid of the evil and don't leave any sequelae. Also, about the process of handling the case, you write a detailed report and submit it, so that you can ask for credit for you." Tan Juren was very satisfied with Qin Bodu's performance. Determined to give this capable subordinate some rewards.

Qin Bodu responded: "The lowly position is only to act according to the chief's plan, how dare you be greedy for merit! Even if you want to reward merit, it is the chief who deserves the most credit."

The high hat presented by Qin Bodu made Tan Juren very comfortable. Having such a sensible subordinate is also a little psychological comfort on this remote island.Tan Juren said with a smile: "If the Ministry of Justice wants to reward you, it is also rewarding you. I am directly responsible to the Executive Committee, and the Ministry of Justice will not give me credit."

Qin Bodu said sternly: "If the executive committee understands the process of handling this case, it must also think that the chief's careful planning and effective command can eliminate this conspiracy in the bud. The humble staff thinks that it may be possible to report to the executive The committee reports the case."

Tan Juyi thought, this makes sense, since he is responsible to the executive committee, then such a big case on the island should be reported to the executive committee.As for whether he will be rewarded by the Executive Committee for this, we can look forward to it.
