It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Xiaohe hadn't come back yet, so Gaodi's heart started to beat.At first, she felt happy. If both Xiaohe and Ruifeng were detained by the Japanese, Zhaodi would also have to be punished.So, isn't Mr. Qian's ingenious plan a success?But thinking about it again, if they were really detained, the Japanese would definitely not let the Qi family and herself go easily!She panicked a little.She decided to warn the Qi family first.Yunmei is also waiting for Ruifeng. Gaodi explained the purpose of his visit, and Yunmei called Ruixuan up.After hearing Gaodi's words, Ruixuan immediately went to call his grandfather and mother; he knew that if the Japanese really came to investigate, they would interrogate everyone in the Qi family separately, and if everyone's words were inconsistent, they would have to dangerous.

Gao Di said the words again, but neither Old Man Qi nor Mrs. Tianyou said a word.Ruixuan first proposed: "Even if we are punished, we can't name Mr. Qian! Can we?" Old man Qi nodded. "The Japanese asked about the second child, how should we answer?" Ruixuan asked. "Tell the truth!" Mrs. Tianyou said in a low voice but firmly. "Yes! Tell the truth!" Old Man Qi said with his small eyes fixed on his knees. "His age, his character, his resume, and his willingness to be a spy are all truthful, and there is no need to fake it! Let's tell the truth, believe it or not, it's all up to the Japanese! Kill and keep, let them, anyway, what we say It's the truth!" The old man raised his head and looked at everyone with small eyes. "To tell you the truth, I have to insist! I'm almost eighty years old, and I will always bow down to others. I kowtow first and then open my mouth. Now, I understand that kowtowing does not necessarily mean good things! Be tough!" After speaking, the old man's hands trembled. "What about me? Brother! Tell the truth?" Gaodi asked Ruixuan.

"Except for meeting Mr. Qian, there is nothing to say! He will teach Zhaodi to confront you!" Ruixuan told her. "Then I'll probably go to jail!" "What?" Yunmei asked. "Why did I leave Peking? I can't justify myself!" "Let's tell the truth!" Old Man Qi became angry, and his voice was quite loud. "Our lives are in other people's hands, so why be more forgiving and tell lies!" Gaudy was silent for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll just wait for them!" Ruixuan sent her back.He had many more things to ask her, but nothing came out.

No one in the Qi family slept well that night.Yes, the years of suffering had hardened them a bit, but they were from Peking after all, so they couldn't help worrying and panicking. Sure enough, as Gao Di expected, it must have been just five o'clock when a truckload of Japanese arrived at the lamb pen.At the entrance of the alley, under the big locust tree, temporary posts were set up, as if there was a company of guerrillas in the alley. Three entered No. 6, and five entered Qi's house. Old Man Qi made double preparations—a few years of torture and a meeting last night—and decided to deal head-on with the Japanese.He looked straight at them, and his voice was quite high, which showed that he was no longer polite and courteous; polite and courteous did not save the lives of Tianyou, Xiaowen, and Xiaocui.

The four interrogated Ruixuan, Yunmei, Mrs. Tianyou, and Old Man Qi separately.After this interrogation, they compared their records, and then gathered them all together to start the questioning again.Old man Qi's eyes told Ruixuan that he himself is willing to be the spokesperson.The Japanese asked a question, and the old man answered without hesitation.The Japanese asked: "Do you know that he is willing to be a spy?" "Yes!" Qi old man replied. "Why is he going to be a spy?" "Because he's worthless!" "how?" "Wouldn't it be worthless if you're willing to do things that hurt nature and reason?"

Mrs. Tianyou and Yunmei were both sweating when they heard the old man's answer.However, the attitude of the Japanese seems to be a little softer.They all looked at Old Man Qi and didn't ask any more questions for a long time.The old man's white hair, tall stature, and hard speech seemed to have an inviolable dignity, which made it difficult for them to speak again. The two Japanese muttered a few words, and one of them hurried out.After a short time, he came back with the old Japanese woman No. 1.Ruixuan's heart lighted up, and he became suspicious of her, so every time she tried to poke him, he always kept an eye out and refused to talk too much to her.However, before long, he discovered his mistake.

The Japanese pointed to the members of the Qi family one by one and asked the old woman a few words, and the old woman gave a simple answer respectfully.Although they spoke Japanese, Ruixuan couldn't understand, but from the look of the old woman and their reaction, he could see clearly that she was speaking nicely of the Qi family. After questioning the old woman, they questioned Ruixuan a few more times.His answer was exactly what they had recorded.They walked out helplessly.The old woman followed them respectfully, and only when she reached the courtyard did she seize the opportunity to glance at Ruixuan and nodded slightly.Ruixuan understood what she meant, and only nodded slightly, but did not dare to say anything.

After the Japanese left, Old Man Qi seemed to get scared, and sat on the edge of the Kang, his hands trembling. To comfort the old man, Yunmei forced a smile and said, "It's probably all right, right?" The old man was stunned for a long time before he said, "Let them come again! Anyway, I've lived enough, why should I be afraid of death! Teach them to come again, I'll wait for them!" After a while, he shook his head and said, "A person is worthless, and can make a mess! I, you, everyone, are all wrong, and shouldn't treat the second child so kindly! "

"Even so, a family is a family after all. Could it be that he's worthless, so why don't you let him go?" Yunmei said with a forced smile. "If you don't believe me, he will be released from prison tomorrow, and when he comes back, we still have to feed him!" The old man didn't say anything, and leaned on the kang. Gaudí was taken away by the Japanese.She couldn't answer why she left Peiping, why she left without going through the exit procedures. Following them, her heart calmed down instead.She said to herself: "You can't escape to Peiping, and if you don't go to prison, you will go to prison; then, it seems more appropriate to go to prison. If the Japanese force me to be a spy, I, I will nod—to Mr. Qian." Something! They're going to kill me, that's fine; it's a pain to live anyway!" Thinking this way, she was not only calm, but almost happy.

When they came to the prison, the Japanese immediately taught her to confront her younger brother Zhao, and what they said was completely consistent with the previous confession.Afterwards, they took the two sisters to Qianmen Station to act out the scene of their last encounter. They almost didn't take a single step wrong, and everything was consistent with the confession.The encounter at the station was flawless. However, they couldn't release Gaodi because she hadn't explained why she escaped from Peiping. They thought it couldn't be her own initiative, but there must be some background - for example: there is some secret institution outside the city, Specially recruit young people from Peking.They, therefore, had to lock her up.Slowly and carefully, interrogate the background.

If a history of murder and bloodshed can be caused by the boredom of one or two people, this is a good example.The Japanese secret service in Beiping launched a rectification campaign to completely eliminate unreliable Chinese.Xiaohe and Ruifeng didn't know that their shamelessness would have such a big effect, but how many young people's blood was shed in the dark room because of it!All the secret agents provided by Ruifeng died without anyone noticing.Later, the secret agents took this opportunity to report and quarrel with each other, so a large number of people were imprisoned in the dark room. Zhaodi, after confronting his sister, was still locked in the darkroom.She explained it very well: "I taught Gaudi to go home. I didn't release her privately, but wanted to introduce her as a spy." However, the Japanese did not accept this explanation.They thought she should report to the higher authorities immediately, and should not make up her own mind and let Gao Di go home.What if Gao Di did not go home, but ran out of Peiping from other places?Zhaodi was speechless. The most difficult to deal with are Xiaohe and Ruifeng.The Japanese investigated the past experiences of the two of them, and they were, yes, 100% obedient citizens.The Japanese specially transferred two authoritative "China Masters" from Tianjin to teach them to identify these two live treasures.The result is: in appearance, manners, hobbies, aspirations, psychology, etc., Xiaohe's average score is 98; Ruifeng is slightly worse, 92!According to the two masters of China, those who can get an average score of 80 can be the first-class obedient citizens; Xiaohe and Ruifeng should be super! The Japanese worship authority, and according to the reports of the two China masters, they should immediately reuse Xiaohe and Ruifeng.However, they were still a little worried, so they had to investigate further.They have to interrogate Xiaohe and Ruifeng three times a day; the more they interrogate, the more cute they think they are, but the more confused they become. Xiaohe's bowing, speech (imitating the intonation and words used by the Japanese in Chinese), and all kinds of small figures surprised the Japanese: they occupied Beiping for only three or four years, and there was such a combination of China and Japan. characters.They asked him, "Did Chibao die in prison, do you have any dislike?" His answer was so natural and innocent that the Japanese didn't know what to do.He bowed deeply and said: "If you give me an official job, even if you dig out the big red-packed bones and whip them again, I won't be tempted; if I have an official job, I will marry another Very beautiful, young lady! If you don't give me something to do, I can't help it, I will always miss the big red bag!" "What official will you be?" they asked. "Bigger is better, no matter what official!" They looked at each other, and there was nothing anyone could do.They like traitors and despise traitors, but they don't know whether to love Xiaohe or despise him!He was almost a superman, and he made the Japanese helpless.They interrogated Ruifeng: "What are you willing to do?" "Me?" Ruifeng touched Xiaogan's face and said, "I am willing to be a spy." "Why?" "Good money!" Yes, Ruifeng's speech and demeanor are indeed not as mature and decent as Xiaohe's.However, his innocence and straightforwardness also moved the Japanese.Seriously, the Japanese came to invade China, which one is not for making money?They can no longer raise their hands to slap Ruifeng's mouth!He is also a superman! To test him, they promised to teach him to be a spy.He took several breaths before saying, "That's great!" Back in the prison cell, he seemed to go crazy with joy.Seeing those who brought him food, and those who passed by the door, he told them happily: "Have you seen such a thing? I came in and went to prison, and I only got two mouths in total. Big trick, I'm a spy! I'm, uh, a little lucky! Just wait and see, go out from here, with a pistol tucked in your waist, drink, pockets full of money!" The Japanese could only swallow their saliva dryly, unable to think of an idea how to deal with him.They can't torture him anymore, that's sorry for the report of the two China masters.They couldn't really use him as a spy because his mouth was a little radio station.They imprisoned him just to spend more food; it was not appropriate to let him go. Therefore, Xiaohe and Ruifeng spent their boring lives in prison without incident.The mountain torrents and huge waves broke through the stone dikes, destroyed the villages, drowned the cattle and horses, pulled out the old trees, and smashed a little bit of dregs!
