The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 286 Interrogation Breakthrough and New Tracking

Xu Keming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. His eyes flashed with an unquestionable look, and he said firmly: "Don't worry, Brother Lei. Once these Japanese spies fall into my hands, none of them can hide their secrets."

The captured Japanese spy was quickly escorted back to the temporary interrogation station. It was a small, dimly lit room, lit by several kerosene lamps. The dim light flickered in the breeze, casting long shadows and adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the space. Lei Tao leaned against the wall, his hands folded, as he watched the Japanese spy being roughly pinned to a chair, his hands bound tightly to the back with ropes. Lei Tao thought, "Let's see what Xu has in store." A flash of panic crossed the spy's eyes, but he quickly feigned composure, gritted his teeth, and turned his head away, looking as if he were a dead pig fearing boiling water.

Meng Xiaoyu sat in the corner, his brows tightly furrowed. His hand unconsciously took out a scalpel and twirled it flexibly at his fingertips, trying to dispel the depression in his heart. Liu Zishan had a serious face, constantly touching his chin with his hand, his eyes darting back and forth between the Japanese spy and Xu Keming, as if he was pondering the interrogation strategy. Chen Feiyang was so excited that he rubbed his hands and rubbed his hands together, as if he was about to play an exciting game. Yi Guang stood by, his hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes cold, ready to cooperate with Xu Keming at any time. The Li brothers, Li Shuiniu and Li Shuyang, one was scratching his head honestly, and the other was staring at the Japanese spy with curiosity and nervousness on his face.

Xu Keming crossed his arms and walked slowly to the Japanese spy. Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table. A loud "bang" echoed in the small room, frightening the Japanese spy so much that his body trembled. "Tell me, where did your two male companions and one female companion escape to?"

The Japanese spy kept his mouth shut, silent, his face filled with resistance. Xu Keming seemed to have anticipated this, and he slowly and leisurely drew a dagger from his waist. He held the dagger and shaved his beard, seemingly leisurely, but this action only made the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive.

"Do you know what this is?" Xu Keming lowered his voice and squeezed it out from between his teeth. "This is specially used to deal with guys like you who are stubborn." As he spoke, he gently scratched the Japanese spy's cheek with the tip of the dagger. The sharp blade left a shallow blood mark, and the bright red blood slowly seeped out, which was particularly glaring on the pale face of the Japanese spy.

At this time, Chen Feiyang poked Li Shuiniu and Li Shuiyang next to him and whispered, "Hey, let's make a bet. Do you think this guy will speak? I bet he will have to confess in less than half an hour." Li Shuiniu scratched his head and smiled honestly, "I think this little Japanese is quite resilient. I bet he won't give in for an hour." Li Shuiyang curled his lips with disdain, "If you ask me, Brother Xu is so powerful, he will confess in twenty minutes!" The three of them talked one after another. Although their voices were not loud, they could be heard clearly in this quiet and depressing interrogation room.

The Japanese spy's body trembled slightly, but he still suppressed his fear, kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Seeing the Japanese spy still refusing to yield, Xu Keming's eyes suddenly turned icy cold. He suddenly thrust his dagger into the table. With a sharp "puff," the blade sunk most of the way into the surface, the handle still trembling slightly. "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin," Xu Keming said coldly. He then pulled a small bottle from his pocket. Inside was a clear liquid that shimmered eerily in the dim light.

"This is a specially made interrogation potion. After drinking it, you'll spill all your secrets, but you'll become a fool afterwards," Xu Keming said as he opened the bottle cap and held it close to the Japanese spy's mouth. The spy's eyes widened instantly, filled with fear. He struggled desperately, twisting his body like a trapped snake, uttering inarticulate whimpers, but he was tied up so tightly that he couldn't escape.

Just as Xu Keming was about to force-feed the Japanese spy the drug, he finally broke down. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" he cried, his voice hoarse with fear. "They went to the Li Mansion northeast of the city. That's our backup contact point."

Xu Keming stopped and looked at him coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "You should have said no earlier, so you wouldn't have suffered so much." He turned to look at Lei Tao, Meng Xiaoyu and others and said: "Let's go to Li's Mansion in the northeast of the city."
