Chapter 9 Chapter Nine A New Day

All the detainees walked towards the iron gate that had just been opened. The iron gate was not big enough for two people to walk side by side. Feng Jinjun naturally walked in the front, and the two people in cell 107 opposite cell 108 also approached. The person in the front is not tall, but his figure is slightly bloated, and his hair should be parted. At that time, Chongshan City also called this hairstyle the boss's head.But now it is very messy, and I can only vaguely see that it used to be this hairstyle. A can deduce that this person should be in prison for no more than two months, so that he can still see the head of the boss.

This person's surname is Dou, everyone calls him Boss Dou, and some people call him Dou.Before being imprisoned, he was the owner of the Junyue Tea House in Chongshan City, responsible for delivering information and establishing relationships with some Kuomintang personnel. (Junyue Teahouse is the place where Boss Wang and Boss Li talked at the beginning of the article) Although the big boss was arrested, Junyue Teahouse is still operating normally and has not been affected. The main reason is that Junyue Teahouse is almost a city with a slight identity It is a must-go place for leisure and chatting, the boss is arrested, and the closing of the Grand Hyatt Tea House is even more serious.In Chongshan City at that time, everyone would rather die than drink tea and set up a dragon gate formation.

Behind Boss Dou, there is a thin and lean man who is also not tall, with his head down and silently following Boss Dou. When A walked through the iron gate with him, they collided slightly. After a while, he didn't even lift his head. This person is called Zhang Qing, who was basically arrested together with Boss Dou, a party member who belongs to the same intelligence line, and used to be an electrician in the Kuomintang government building.Although Zhang Qing was not tall and thin, he had a thick beard covering half of his face. The two of them were locked in Cell 107. Because A had just been beaten up, he didn't want to turn his head around to observe, but when he stepped through the iron gate, a person in cell 106 behind him slightly stabbed his waist, not knowing what it meant.

In fact, the man who stabbed him was named Qian Sangui. He used to be a Chinese medicine merchant. He traveled between Chengdu and Chongshan. He was pointed out by Qingblin and sent to prison. The reason why he stabbed A was because Qian Sangui had met A and knew that he was the deputy director of the Military Supplies Department of Chongshan City.He used to supply medicinal materials to the Military Supplies Department, but the purchase of medicinal materials was not under A's control, so Qian Sangui and A had just met and had a brief chat.Later, some people disliked the poor quality of Qian Sangui's medicinal materials, so they interrupted the business relationship between the Military Supplies Department and Qian Sangui.Qian Sangui has been arrested for a long time, and he is considered to be the first batch of people arrested in the Baishan Pavilion.

A saw a lot of merchants of all kinds, and he didn't have the impression of Qian Sangui at this time. If Qian Sangui mentioned to him that he was Qian Sangui, a medicine merchant, A would be able to think of it. Qian Sangui poked A's waist, it didn't mean much, but he saw that A was actually Zhang Haifeng, the deputy director of the Military Supplies Department, and his heart was chilled. He never thought that Zhang Haifeng would be arrested in the Baishan Pavilion, nor Zhang Haifeng was actually a member of the Communist Party, so he stabbed A in the waist to show that he knew this Zhang Haifeng.

But A didn't know what Qian Sangui meant, he just found it strange. Walking behind Qian Sangui is Qian Xiaogui, who used to be Qian Sangui's follower, who cooperated with him and was arrested at the same time as Qian Sangui. The two were held together in Cell 106. One thing that Feng Jinjun did not tell A was that three days before A came, a comrade who was also detained in Room 108 with Feng Jinjun died, and died of severe injuries due to torture.The comrade who died turned out to be the sixth member of the Yangshan intelligence line in Chongshan City. He had an extremely strong temper. He had been tortured almost every day since he was imprisoned.

If all the prisoners in Building No. 1 are counted, there are five or six people who know A, and most of them, like Qian Sangui, know about Zhang Haifeng, but they don't have any deep acquaintances or information exchanges. As an independent agent, Zhang Haifeng's identity was kept very, very secret, that's why Qian Sangui was so surprised. After passing through the iron gate, the group of sixteen prisoners walked into a larger room. A wave of moisture came in, and there was still some water on the ground.This is a washroom, the bathhouse that Feng Jinjun described to A.There is a drainage tank on each side of the room, which contains water, and above the sink is a row of wooden shelves, on which are placed some tooth powder, iron tanks and the like.

The rule in Building No. 1 is to wash your face first, and then brush your teeth. Feng Jinjun and A are lined up by the innermost wall of this room. From A's perspective, the windows of this room are relatively large, and the morning sunlight can penetrate through the window of the bathroom in a relatively sufficient amount, but outside the window , It is also a dense iron fence, and it is wrapped with a barbed wire. A is just able to look out the window. Outside the window was the fence, and two Kuomintang agents were lighting a fire and smoking under the fence with semi-automatic rifles on their backs. After taking a puff, they laughed and laughed, and one of them looked into the window.

A hastily turned his eyes away. According to his visual inspection, the back of Building No. 1 is about 5 meters away from the wall. Lao Tu was standing at the door and scolded: "Don't talk, don't move." These two sentences are simply the catchphrase of Lao Tu and the guards. They seem to have a great taboo about whispering to prisoners, especially When everyone gathered together in the cell. Feng Jinjun had already washed his face with water in his hands, and A followed suit. After washing his face, he remembered that he didn't bring the torn towel issued when he was imprisoned.At this moment, Feng Jinjun handed over the towel, hummed, and A was not polite, took the towel and wiped his face dry.

Followed by brushing teeth, A followed Feng Jinjun's example, took down an iron vat on the wooden shelf above the sink, scooped the vat, dipped his hand into the tooth powder on the wooden shelf, and brushed it up with his fingers. Teeth come. A's movement was very fast. He made a very, very subtle movement. When dipping in the tooth powder, he quickly touched the wooden board of the wooden shelf. He felt a slightly protruding iron nail. When A lowered his head and brushed his teeth, his eyes kept looking up at the bottom of the wooden shelf. The wooden shelf is fastened to it with large right-angled iron bars, and from the bottom you can see the nails passing through the iron bars to fasten the wooden shelf to it.

Because of the humidity, the iron bars here are already rusted, and a few iron nails are very obvious, and a small section is exposed outside. Before A finished brushing his teeth, he heard someone whispering in his ear: "Do you know me?" Then there was a loud gurgling sound.This was when Qian Sangui, who was standing beside him, seized the opportunity to speak to him, and heard the sound of other people gurgling and gargling. A turned his head slightly and looked at Qian Sangui. He did feel familiar, but he definitely couldn't remember where he saw him. Qian Sangui spit out the water in one gulp, turned his face slightly, and when someone was gurgling again, he whispered again: "Qian Sangui, traditional Chinese medicine." A tried hard to recall, and he suddenly remembered this man named Qian Sangui. A spat out the tooth powder in his mouth, took a sip of water, spit it out, and whispered without raising his head, "I know." Qian Sangui smiled slightly, gave him a look, and remained silent. A didn't look at Qian Sangui again, he was thinking about whether he could borrow the power of Qian Sangui. A's movement is the slowest, before he spit out his last mouthful of water, the guard Tu has already roared again: "New here! Feeding milk! So slow! I want to be beaten!" A also stood up like everyone else, and put the iron tank back on the wooden shelf.He thought of an interesting thing. It would be very interesting if the wooden shelf could fall down, even if only half of it fell down, it would cause chaos. There are still many things that A doesn't know. Don't underestimate the little time in the bathroom. Our smart comrades use this little time to exchange some items and information, and send out huge messages like Qian Sangui. The sound of gargling mouth, to cover the conversations and sounds between some comrades. I have to lament the collective wisdom in this sinister state.Under the sound of gurgling and gargling one after another, the hidden struggle of comrades is secretly unfolding. However, A is also a very smart person. When he was brushing his teeth, he had already discovered the purpose of these deliberately loud gargling sounds. It has to be said that the Baishan Pavilion is a very strange place. Many prisons at that time did not have the item of washing in the morning, but the Baishan Pavilion did not find it troublesome.The people in the Baishan Pavilion have a weird logic, that is, this is a prison, but it can't be completely like a prison. Letting these Communists live a normal life can kill their mentality of struggle.What they want is the information in the stomachs of these communist bandits, and they want to destroy the intelligence lines of the communist bandits. Detaining these people is also a leverage in negotiating with the Communist Party.Therefore, the management system of the Baishan Pavilion is an almost abnormal management system that is between extreme barbarism and false civilization.
