Chapter 319 If you don’t do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the interrogation room.

Zheng Yumin had a bruised face and a dull look in his eyes, and he sat in a chair in a daze.

"How did you get your face?"

Gao Kejian pretended to be concerned.

Zheng Yumin stammered, "They beat me..."

Gao Kejian sighed: "This is the cause of the trouble. If I had known that you were Zheng Yuxin's brother, I would have told my subordinates to take care of you."

"Do you know my brother?"

Zheng Yumin was surprised.

Gao Kejian sat down slowly: "We are old neighbors, how can we not know each other? Normally, with this relationship, if it involves an ordinary case, I can let you go now with just a word. However, your case is too big - assassinating the director of the Security Bureau, although it failed, the nature is bad!"

"I know very well what the crime of assassinating Kitahara Masao is... Chief Gao, for my brother's sake, I only ask one thing of you."

"You said."

"Help me change my cell."

"why?"

"They are simply not human!"

After experiencing unspeakable humiliation and facing a group of humans who were almost indistinguishable from animals, Zheng Yumin suddenly felt that the spy chief in front of him seemed to have become particularly amiable.

Gao Kejian said: "Those who are stubborn will be beaten to death, and those who can swim will be drowned. When a knife is placed on your neck, it is not shameful to lower your head and give in."

Zheng Yumin remained silent, and in his heart he thought that what Gao Kejian said made sense. Thinking back to when he first arrived at the cell, if he had been a little more polite to Boss Gao, perhaps nothing would have happened.

How could he know that everything was done at the instruction of Gao Kejian. Boss Gao was deliberately looking for trouble, so no matter how polite he was, it was useless.

"You can change cells."

Gao Kejian looked at Zheng Yumin and said slowly: "But you have to cooperate."

"I'm not a traitor!"

Zheng Yumin answered without hesitation.

Gao Kejian said in a friendly manner, "I didn't ask you to be a traitor. I just want to know what happened... What was the name of the man who died in front of the Manchuria Railway Hospital? Even if you don't tell us now, when the family members come to identify the body in a few days, we can still find out his last name and name clearly."

Zheng Yumin was silent for a while: "His name is Wang Bo, he is my senior."

"Where's the driver?"

"His last name is Luo. I don't know him well. Xiao Liang found him and he is responsible for the pick-up."

"Who is Xiao Liang?"

"........."

Zheng Yumin shut up.

He felt a little regretful and felt that he had said too much. Although Wang Bo and Lao Luo were both dead, he always felt that something was not right.

Gao Kejian said, "I know. Xiao Liang is the one who ran away from you. His home is in Fujiadian Mashi Street, right?"

Zhao Zhenhai tracked Xiao Liang and also lost his trace in Ma Shi Street. Seeing the special forces searching nearby, he did not stay any longer.

Xiao Liang's anti-tracking ability is limited. In addition to accidental factors, familiarity with the environment is also extremely important for him to get rid of the tracking.

Ma Shi Street is interconnected with more than a dozen exits. It is not easy to find out where Xiao Liang is hiding. If we search house by house, it is easy to alert the enemy. Asking the enemy from his accomplices is undoubtedly the best option.

Seeing Zheng Yumin's surprised face, Gao Kejian knew that he had guessed correctly, so he said, "You must be wondering, since I know where Xiao Liang's family is, why would I ask you?"

Zheng Yumin hesitated to speak, mainly because he didn't know how to answer.

Gao Kejian continued: "Asking you is to give you a chance."

From the first moment he saw Zheng Yumin, he knew that these people were definitely not professional agents sent by the Kuomintang or the Communist Party, and that there must be someone behind the assassination of Kitahara Masao.

"Chance?"

"Yes, a chance to redeem oneself for one's crime."

"What do you mean?"

"As long as you cooperate, I can let you go now."

"Just fool the kids..."

Zheng Yumin didn't believe it at all.

Gao Kejian said solemnly: "As the chief of the secret service department, I promise you that as long as you explain the matter clearly, you can leave the police department at any time. I will do what I say and I will never break my promise!" Zheng Yumin said angrily: "After all, you still make me a traitor."

Gao Kejian said: "You didn't understand what I said. I'm not asking you to be a traitor. You just need to explain the whole story clearly. You are just stating the facts. How can you be a traitor?"

Zheng Yumin lowered his head and said nothing.

Gao Kejian looked at him for a while and asked, "Liu Shufen is your girlfriend, right?"

Zheng Yumin thought that even if he didn't say it, others would be able to see it, and there was no need to hide it, so he frankly admitted: "Yes."

Gao Kejian sighed: "The best years of my life have been wasted just like this."

Zheng Yumin said proudly: "As a descendant of Yan and Huang, a member of the Chinese nation, I fought against the Manchus and the Japanese, and resisted foreign humiliation. My death is worthy!"

Gao Kejian said: "I can understand that you are dissatisfied with the Japanese, but Manchukuo has become an established fact and has been widely recognized. You are also a Manchukuo..."

Zheng Yumin interrupted and said: "For me, there is no Manchukuo. The four eastern provinces are part of China and will always be! The remnants of the Qing Dynasty colluded with the Japanese and split the country. They deserve to be put to death!"

Gao Kejian said: "Being obsessed with grand narratives and ignoring the essence of life is foolish thinking. Ancient sages have long concluded that if people do not work for themselves, heaven and earth will punish them. This means that if people do not think about their own interests, they will be punished by heaven and earth."

Zheng Yumin snorted: "According to what you said, there are no good people in the world."

Gao Kejian said: "The provincial government has recently issued a decree that all prisoners who have participated in resistance organizations will be sent to the Pingfang Military Area for hard labor reform before the local court makes a judgment."

Zheng Yumin said with disdain: "I am not afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of doing hard labor?"

Gao Kejian smiled and said, "In Pingfang Military Area, except for a few officers with their families, all soldiers are bachelors. Liu Shufen is a girl. In such a closed environment, it is difficult for her to escape physical abuse. There are more than one or two people who abused her, maybe more than a dozen, or even hundreds of people..."

"Stop talking!"

Zheng Yumin fell into a chair.

Gao Kejian smiled and said, "I have to finish my words... At the critical moment, I showed up, stopped the atrocities of the Japanese soldiers, and saved Liu Shufen. Through this incident, do you think I, the spy chief, am a good person or a bad person?"

Zheng Yumin was speechless.

Gao Kejian continued, "So, whether a person is good or bad, there is only one standard - if they are good to you, they are good people, and if they are bad to you, they are bad people. This is what is called "If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"

Zheng Yumin was feeling uneasy. He had heard about the various rumors about the Pingfang Military Zone. He believed that the humiliation that the female prisoners would face would be even more terrible than what Gao Kejian described.

Gao Kejian looked at him and said, "As I said before, as long as you cooperate, what I said are just assumptions that will never happen..."

"I want to see Shufen."

"Figured out?"

"........."

"Someone! Go and bring Liu Shufen here!"

Gao Kejian ordered his men.

He knew that Zheng Yumin had surrendered.

After a while, Liu Shufen, who looked haggard, was brought in. The interrogation room was dimly lit and she did not recognize Zheng Yumin at first.

Zheng Yumin took a few quick steps and called out excitedly, "Shufen!"

Liu Shufen was stunned for a moment, then she saw the person in front of her clearly, and burst into tears. She hugged Zheng Yumin tightly and refused to let go: "I thought... I would never see you again, wuwu... Yumin, I'm so scared... What happened to your face?"

Zheng Yumin covered it up and said, "I just bumped into it accidentally, it's okay."

Gao Kejian asked: "Who is Xiao Liang?"

Zheng Yumin hesitated, glanced at Liu Shufen who was full of surprise, and then said: "His name is Liang Hao, and he is our team leader."

"What captain?"

"Iron Blood Group."

"How many of you are there in total?"

"Just the five of us."

"Who's the leader?"

"Wang Bo and Liang Hao."

"Where is Liang Hao's home?"

"Mashi Street, Pants Crotch Lane."

Zheng Yumin answered truthfully.

Liu Shufen opened her eyes wide, extremely shocked. She couldn't believe that this man who always talked about the country and the nation and whom she regarded as a marriage partner would give in so easily.
