Chapter 1026: Torment trial (seeking bimonthly ticket)
In fact, Wan Mulin had already seen Wu Shicai. When Wu Shicai appeared in the cabin, Wan Mulin knew that today's big things were not good.
Wu Shicai and Wan Mulin naturally knew each other, but at that time, Wan Mulin was the right-hand assistant to the big boss Yue Sheng. He held the power and responded to him. He was a singular figure in Shanghai. However, Wu Shicai was just a small leader under Li Yunqing, and his status was very different, so Wu Shicai recognized Wan Mulin.
Wan Mulin also has an extremely outstanding ability, that is, his memory is extremely amazing.
He was able to remember the phone numbers of all the relevant personnel, even the address and telephone number of Yue Sheng's guests and friends, Wan Molin remembered them clearly. It is said that he could memorize hundreds of sets of phone numbers. If Yue Sheng forgot his phone number, he just needed to ask Wan Mulin.
The same is true for people. All the leaders in the Qing Gang who are worthy of numbers can remember them as long as they meet. With this ability, he became Yue Sheng's most capable assistant, and even handled the assistance for Yue Sheng for a while, and had a very high status in the Qing Gang.
Wan Mulin knew very well that Wu Shicai was now the captain of the operation team of the No. 76 Agent Headquarters, but he appeared at the Wusongkou Customs Wharf and was on board to check in person. Needless to say, this must have been for him.
He was extremely regretful at this time, regretting that he had not listened to Chai Liang's advice. If he had chosen another route, what would have happened now would not have happened.
Wu Shicai looked at Wan Mulin proudly, and he did not expect things to go so smoothly. Since receiving the order from Li Zhiqun, he has been worried about how to arrest Wan Mulin, a veteran of the Qing Gang in the French Concession. You must know that it is the gathering place of the Qing Gang. If you are not careful, you will cause big trouble.
However, the people sent to monitor Wan Mulin soon discovered that Wan Mulin was about to evacuate Shanghai urgently. After receiving the report, Wu Shicai quickly reported to Li Zhiqun, and then rushed to Wusongkou Customs to intercept the passenger ship. Finally, he arrived in time to block Wan Mulin here.
Wan Mulin calmed down at Wu Shicai's smug look, and said calmly: "Captain Wu, it's so late, why are you here to do? You can't see me off, right?"
Wu Shicai looked at Wan Mulin and said in a deep voice: "Seeping off? Humph! Uncle Mulin, no secret words are spoken. Your incident has happened, please come with me!"
After saying that, he moved aside, bent down slightly, and made a gesture of asking for help. Wan Mulin was still powerful, and Wu Shicai didn't want to do it too ugly, otherwise he would have a bad reputation.
Wan Mulin knew that it was impossible to escape, so he had to stand up, lift the suitcase beside him, and step out of the cabin. Wu Shicai and his group followed closely.
An hour later, in an isolation room at the agent headquarters, Li Zhiqun pushed the door and walked in, looked at Wan Mulin sitting firmly, pretending to be enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Uncle Mulin, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet again here. It's so surprising."
Wan Mulin looked at Li Zhiqun coldly, too lazy to deal with this hypocritical guy, so he asked directly: "Tell me, what are you doing to bring me here?"
Li Zhiqun had a smile on his face, but his eyes gradually became cold. He was so happy that he was able to capture Wan Mulin so quickly. What he cared most about at the moment was of course the whereabouts of Gao Tao and the others.
Seeing Wan Mulin ask directly, Li Zhiqun stopped going around the circle and nodded and said, "Uncle Mulin is more than happy. Well, I'll just go straight to the point. I just want to know where Gao Zhiwu and Tao Chengyuan are now?"
When Wan Mulin heard this, he was indeed asking about this matter. He was prepared for it. He looked confused on his face and asked in surprise: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I don't know the two people you said!"
Li Zhiqun smiled and his tone became stiff: "Uncle Mulin, you didn't tell the truth! We have already found out that you sent someone to attack me the night before yesterday to rob Gao Tao and the other two. Now the Japanese and Mr. Wang have given death orders and must recover the people. I have no choice but to invite you here. If you hand over the person now, the matter can be saved. If you insist on hiding it, don't blame me, the junior!"
"What's the use of saying so much?" Wan Mulin said disdainfully. Of course, he would never admit it. If he really admitted it, he wouldn't want to get out of this door.
"I really don't know the two people you mentioned. This time I returned to Shanghai to manage my finances for Mr. Yue, and I did nothing else!"
"It's stubborn!"
Li Zhiqun cursed fiercely. He knew that it was impossible to knock Wan Mulin's mouth just by asking out of nothing. Now he was eager to recover Gao Tao and the others, so he didn't want to waste any more talk. He waved his hand and walked in from outside the door. The few of them raised Wan Mulin from left to right without saying a word, dragging them out.
Li Zhiqun was cruel and ruthless in his work, but he had no scruples. He brought Wan Mulin to the interrogation room and immediately began torture and confession.
But what surprised him was that although Wan Mulin was a pampered person, he was a rare ruthless character in his bones. No matter how severe Li Zhiqun tortured him, even though he was beaten with blood and covered in wounds, Wan Mulin bit him to death and did not spit a word, and refused to admit the affairs of Gao Tao and the others.
Looking at Wan Mulin, who was already a bloody man, Li Zhiqun couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. In fact, he was not sure that Wan Mulin had 100% related to Gao Tao and his other defections.
He just deduced that Wan Mulin might be involved based on Wan Mulin's abnormal performance. He also ordered him to recover Gao Tao and the others in a short period of time because of the pressure from him. In desperation, Li Zhiqun decided to arrest Wan Mulin.
With the principle of beating the wrong killing than letting go, he tried to pry open his mouth and retrieve Gao Tao and the other two, but now seeing Wan Mulin suffered such severe punishment, he still bit himself to death, and he felt a little unsure.
However, Li Zhiqun did not give up. He came to Wan Mulin, bent down and asked again: "Uncle Mulin, since you insist on not recognizing Gao Tao and the other two defected, then okay, I will believe you for a while, we won't talk about this."
Speaking of this, Li Zhiqun's tone paused, and then asked, "Then tell me, how did Luo Zidong die?"
When Wan Mulin heard this, he barely opened his swollen eyes, looked at Li Zhiqun, and then closed it again, still saying nothing.
Li Zhiqun looked at Wan Mulin and continued, "Uncle Mulin, it will be difficult for me to do this. In this way, I will think that you don't know anything about Gao Tao and the other two. As long as you tell me about Luo Zidong's affairs, I can make the decision and let you go!"
Wan Mulin was silent for a moment, and finally said in a hoarse voice: "What's there to say? Who in the concession doesn't know? He, like his master, sold himself to the Japanese and was killed by Chongqing agents."
Li Zhiqun asked, "Then you just explain the whereabouts of these Chongqing agents, and I can let you go."
Wan Mulin looked at Li Zhiqun again with confusion. If he was absolutely aware of Gao Tao and the other two, he was really unaware of Luo Zidong's death. He did nothing at all. What did he say?
Of course, I just know that if you are a human being, you can't say anything.
"I really don't know about this. Luo Zidong and I have never met before!" Wan Mulin shook his head again to deny it.
Li Zhiqun chased after him and snorted coldly again: "Don't you know? It seems that you don't cry until you see the coffin. OK, then I'll let you see you alone."
After saying that, a verdict went out and soon brought a young man in. The young man walked to Wan Mulin and looked at him. He recognized the man covered in blood, which was Wan Mulin, and then shouted in a low voice: "Uncle Mulin, I am Zhao Rong!"
It turns out that this person is Zhao Rong, the main assistant of Luo Zidong. This person is Lu Tianqiao's disciple, Luo Zidong's junior brother, and the third person in the hall. His status is second only to Luo Zidong and Yan Xing.
Since Luo Zidong and Yan Xing died, their hall collapsed suddenly, and the surrounding Qing Gang forces rushed up one after another. Almost overnight, the entire hall fell apart. Zhao Rong did not have Luo Zidong's ability and could not save the situation at all. In the end, he had to escape from the concession, defect to Li Zhiqun, and joined the No. 76 Agent Headquarters.
Li Zhiqun also investigated Luo Zidong's death at that time. As far as he knew, Luo Zidong was exposed for selling himself to the enemy, so he usually stayed silently and rarely went out to avoid the pursuit of Chongqing agents. However, on the day of the incident, he died in the Huijiang Hotel. As for the reason why Luo Zidong went to the Huijiang Hotel, almost no one knew.
Because Luo Zidong visited Wan Mulin at that time, only Yan Xing and a group of bodyguards around him knew about him. In order to keep it secret, Luo Zidong asked Yan Xing to make secret arrangements. He even used his relative's name when ordering meals, so fewer people knew about it.
In the end, Yan Xing and these bodyguards were killed on the spot by Deng Zhihong's operation team, leaving no living slaughter, so when Li Zhiqun investigated, he did not find the specific reason.
However, Zhao Rong, the third person in the hall, knew all this. After he voted to No. 76, Li Zhiqun asked, then he realized that Luo Zidong had taken the risk of leaving Luo Mansion in order to entertain Wan Mulin and rushed back to the Xinjiang Hotel. However, an accident happened in the end, and more than 40 people were killed.
As for who killed Luo Zidong, everyone knew in their hearts that this was the work of the Shanghai Intelligence Department, so Li Zhiqun immediately judged that Wan Mulin and the Shanghai Intelligence Department must have communicated well, and joined forces to set up a trap. Wan Mulin came forward to lure Luo Zidong to the Huijiang Hotel, and then the Shanghai Intelligence Department took action to kill all targets.
In other words, Wan Mulin and the Shanghai Intelligence Department are related. You should know that the Shanghai Intelligence Department was listed as the top enemy by the Japanese and pseudo-government. The Shanghai turmoil not long ago was the masterpiece of this intelligence department. Hiroki Kaesa once specially ordered that all intelligence related to the Shanghai Intelligence Department should be dealt with first.
