Chapter 774 The Code of the Morgue
next day
Fang Li and Chen Kehai came to the office. At this time, a subordinate came to Fang Li and whispered in his ear.

"What are you doing? We're family, talk nicely!" Fang Li pushed him away and scolded.

The subordinate stood at attention and said, "Director Fang, the person has been taken to the interrogation room you designated!"

Fang Li said to Cheng Kehai at this time: "That's great, you can come with me!"

"I won't go!" Thinking of yesterday's test, Cheng Kehai refused: "I can't stand the smell of blood!"

"Who said that interrogation must involve bloodshed?" Fang Li said with a smile:

"Besides, if you don't make achievements and get promoted, how can these little guys under you look up to you?"

"Let's go!"

Chen Kehai had no choice but to follow Fang Li away, but the two of them ended up in the morgue!
Chen Kehai thought he was going to the interrogation room, but ended up in the morgue, so he started to complain:

"How can you be so perverted, interrogating directly in the morgue!"

"I thought you liked it!" Fang Li then said with a wicked smile:

"To you, this place is clean and tidy, but to me, only the corpse is the most honest!"

"Just think about this scene, this arrangement, surrounded by a group of honest people, even the most stubborn prisoners will be reformed!"

Combined with Fang Li’s weird smile, Chen Kehai seemed to have seen the devil returning from hell!

Then the two of them entered the morgue. Fang Li looked at the Red Party member sitting on the iron chair and said with a smile:
"It seems that you have recovered well. Do you know why I stopped torturing you?"

"Hmph!" The Red Party member glanced away and ignored Fang Li.

Seeing that the Red Party ignored him, Fang Li did not mind and said:

"I see there's a purple tinge between your eyebrows. You must be having a heart attack! If I continue to torture you, your heart will hurt!"

"Puff!" Fang Li opened his right fist suddenly, and then joked: "What if it explodes!"

At this time, the Red Party member swallowed, turned his head away, and no longer looked at Fang Li.

"Swallow your saliva!"

“You’re nervous!”

"Are you scared?"

"That means my guess is correct, right?" Fang Li kept exerting pressure.

Chen Kehai looked at Fang Li curiously, and Fang Li seemed to know his question and handed him a file.

It was only then that Chen Kehai learned that this Red Party comrade was named Zhao Changxian, an elementary school teacher, and his personal detailed information.

And the medical history column clearly stated: heart disease!

"What's wrong with me having a heart disease? Is it stipulated that school teachers cannot have heart disease?" Zhao Changxian said calmly.

At this time, Chen Kehai said lightly:
"To be honest, as an elementary school teacher, you did an almost perfect job!"

"What a pity! All our efforts have been in vain!" He put down the documents in his hand and looked directly at Zhao Changxian.

Zhao Changxian turned his head to the other side, not wanting to ignore Chen Kehai.

At this time Chen Kehai continued:

“You said you’ve been teaching since graduation, but there’s a difference between the hand that holds a chalk and the hand that holds a gun!”

Then he stepped forward, picked up Zhao Changxian's right hand, pointed at the fleshy callus on the tiger's mouth and said:
"Otherwise, how big a piece of chalk would you need to rub to create calluses on your knuckles? You would have to hold a pistol for at least three years, right?"

After observing for a while, Chen Kehai continued:
"When I was talking, you habitually separated and held your index and middle fingers together. You must have a smoking habit, right? Did you quit because of a heart condition?"

"It's because of the special circumstances of the mission that I have to quit smoking!"

"What special situation?" Zhao Changxian said nervously, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Chen Kehai looked into Zhao Changxian's eyes, then said proudly: "Is it to facilitate the transmission of information?"

"The wife your party arranged for you has been taking bronchial medication for a long time, and you, as a considerate husband, can't put down your cigarette, so you have to quit!"

"Your organization's design is very thoughtful, but the time is too short to make you another stranger. This shows that your wife is also..."

After a thorough analysis, a large amount of information was obtained from the interrogation without Zhao Changxian speaking, although they were all trivial or outdated information.

But this is enough to prove Chen Kehai's excellent ability in interrogation.

"Pa pa pa~!" Agent No. 76 in the morgue couldn't help but applaud Chen Kehai.

Fang Li said happily:

"It seems that you haven't forgotten anything you learned in the special training class. You're even better than before!"

However, Chen Kehai did not show any joy on his face, but said calmly:
"These are the tuition fees paid by countless brothers and sisters with their lives. How could I forget them?"

At this time, Chen Bin walked in and said to Fang Li, "Director Fang, Director Liu from the police station wants to invite you for tea. It's urgent!"

Fang Li stood up after hearing this, and then said to Chen Kehai: "It's a good opportunity for me to take a breath first, Kehai, you guys continue the interrogation!"

After saying this, he left the morgue, but Chen Kehai became alert in his heart, thinking that this was probably another test for him.

There were only three people left in the room at this time, and the atmosphere didn't seem as tense as before.

At this time, Chen Kehai suddenly asked the spy beside him:

"Brother, do you have any cigarettes with you?"

"Sir, I don't smoke!"

"Can you please buy a pack of cigarettes for this guy? Maybe a cigarette will calm him down!"

"Yes, I'll buy it right away!" said the spy and left the morgue.

There were only two people left at this time. Although Chen Kehai guessed that this might be a test for him, he was confident that he could handle it.

So he turned to Zhao Changxian and said ambiguously:
"I've suffered so much. Now that I've entered No. 76, there's no need to hide my identity!"

"Whether you can get out alive has nothing to do with your identity!"

Seeing that there were fewer people, Zhao Changxian retorted:
"Since identity is not important, why are you bothering about my identity?"

At this time, Chen Kehai looked directly into Zhao Changxian's eyes with sparkling eyes and said:

"Because to demons, hiding one's identity is an insult to their intelligence, and that's what they care about most!"

But at this moment, Zhao Changxian heard a different meaning from this sentence.

"They?" Zhao Changxian raised his head suddenly, looked at Chen Kehai and sneered: "Aren't you one of the demons?"

"Is it you?" Zhao Changxian asked in a barely audible voice.

Chen Kehai smiled slightly and said lightly:
"Deep in hell, becoming a demon or a Buddha is all in a single thought. Cheng Ying is holding the mortar and pestle, the moon is shining on the west, life and death, who can decide for themselves? You just have to adapt to the situation!" After this conversation, Zhao Changxian immediately realized that this was a reminder from his comrade.

Trapped in darkness, but with your heart toward light!
At this moment, Zhao Changxian was very excited and wanted to say something urgently, but he suppressed himself so as not to bring trouble to his comrades.

At this time, the spy who was buying cigarettes opened the door and came in. He then handed the cigarettes to Chen Kehai and said, "Sir, I bought the cigarettes!"

Chen Kehai did not take the cigarette, but pointed at Zhao Changxian and ordered: "Light it for him!"

Unfortunately, the time for their communication was too short, so Zhao Changxian deliberately said:

"I don't smoke!"

"You don't want to accept my toast, so you have to drink a forfeit, right?" The spy was not polite to him.

"Forget it, he's dying soon, there's no need to bother with him!" Chen Kehai said with some disinterest:

"Give him two cigarettes. He can smoke whenever he wants when he gets home!"

The spy tactfully handed the cigarette to Chen Kehai, but he waved his hand and refused:
"No need to give it to me, don't break the rules, let him take it himself!"

The spy took out two cigarettes and gave them to Zhao Changxian, while Chen Kehai continued:
"The director is not here anyway, and I can't find out anything for now, so let's withdraw!"

After saying this, he turned and left, and the secret agent helped Zhao Changxian back to the cell.

Zhao Changxian looked at the two cigarettes in his hand and was shocked. He had been trained in Yan'an. "Two cigarettes" was a code, meaning to bite back at the lurking comrades!
This Chen Kehai was indeed his comrade, and like himself, he had been to Yan'an for training.

However, after returning to the cell, the two cigarettes in his hand were immediately taken away by the spy who had just bought the cigarettes, and then left.

Just after everyone left the morgue, the white cloth on a morgue table was instantly lifted.

Then a naked man stood up, put on his clothes, and hurried to the next room. On the way, he met the recorder who was sending Zhao Changxian back to the cell.

In the next room, Fang Li, who was supposed to have tea with the police chief, was listening calmly to the conversation between Chen Kehai and Zhao Changxian.

The two spies then recounted in detail everything they saw and heard after Fang Li left.

At the same time, he dissected the two cigarettes thoroughly, but found nothing. They were just two ordinary cigarettes.

Fang Li asked his men solemnly, "Are you sure these two cigarettes did not pass through Chen Kehai's hands?"

Fang Li's spy immediately said:
"No, Commander Chen took the initiative to avoid it. He didn't touch these two cigarettes at all during the whole process!"

"You guys go out first!" After asking his men to leave, Fang Li listened to the recording over and over again.

After a long while, Chen Bin on the side couldn't help but said:
"Director Fang, listen, their conversation is so confusing, they must have said something we don't know!"

"And Chen Kehai deliberately sent the recorder away in order to communicate with Zhao Changxian alone!"

"That also explains why there is nothing wrong with these two cigarettes!"

However, Fang Li next door ignored Chen Bin and listened quietly to the recording. After a while, he told his men:
"Go check the source of the words 'Cheng Ying holds the pestle and mortar, the moon shines on the west, life and death, who can decide for themselves!'"

"Yes!" The agent immediately went to check the information.

"Haha~!" Fang Li touched his smooth chin and said with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Interesting!"

When Chen Bin was in the special training class, he mistakenly thought that it was Chen Kehai who betrayed him and reported him as a deserter, making him unable to hold his head up in front of his classmates.

Therefore, out of hatred for Chen Kehai, he began to add fuel to the fire here at Fang Li:
"Director Fang, there was no problem with the previous investigation of Chen Kehai. How about I check it again~!"

Before Chen Bin finished speaking, Fang Li slowly turned his head and looked at him. When Chen Bin felt uneasy, he said:

"Let's go meet this Old Zhao!"

At this time, Fang Li didn't know whether he should believe his childhood friend, so he concealed his anger and brought people to the interrogation room.

At this time, Zhao Changxian had been interrogated by Lao Jin for a long time and had many new scars on his body.

Looking at Zhao Changxian who was tied to the iron chair, Fang Li said calmly:
"Cheng Ying is pounding the mortar and pestle, the moon is shining on the west, someone is willing to share the responsibility with you!"

"Then who is willing to share the responsibility with you?"

"I didn't expect that you would even eavesdrop on your own people!" Zhao Changxian said with trembling body.

Fang Li smiled and waved his hands, saying leisurely: "Don't talk about my own people, I don't even believe in myself!"

"I have to say that your organization has handled your background very clearly, so much so that even if I wanted to arrest your family and coerce you, I couldn't do it because I couldn't find anyone at all!"

However, Zhao Changxian remained unmoved, clenching his teeth and not saying a word.

"So you are very proud, right?" At this time Fang Li continued indifferently:

"You feel you have nothing to fear and can go around naked without any worries, right?"

"But I'll go first. Your organization must know about your family's situation. When your Tianjing Station was investigated, I had someone leave two letters behind!"

At this time, Fang Li's words had attracted Zhao Changxian's attention, so Fang Li continued:
"One is your letter home, and the other is your colleague's letter home. In your colleague's letter home, I wrote a lot of bold words for him!"

"As for your letter home! Guess what I wrote in it?"

At this time, Zhao Changxian lost his composure and glared at Fang Li fiercely, saying, "You are so despicable!"

"Don't worry, I wrote the fatal content with invisible ink!"

"As long as you tell the truth, you can rest assured that the family letters your party has seen are only grandiose words!"

"I believe in the organization. Their judgment will not be affected by your little tricks!" Zhao Changxian said in a sonorous voice.

But there seemed to be a hint of lack of confidence in his tone, and Fang Li seemed to have discovered the ant hole that caused the dam to burst.

Seeing that Zhao Changxian's mentality was wavering, Fang Li stepped up his psychological attack and said:
"I also believe in your party's judgment, but have you ever thought about a realistic problem? A long interrogation will destroy a person's will!"

"If you are suspected by the organization again, I believe you should know what the consequences are. I don't need to explain it further!"

"You, you~, you, you..." Zhao Changxian was so excited that he couldn't speak.

At this moment, he was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He struggled with all his strength, trying to break free from the shackles on his body.

Fang Li saw this and couldn't suppress the pride in his eyes. He then calmly pressed his hands and said:
"Don't get excited, calm down, calm down, let's talk it out!"

"As long as you're willing, we can fake your death and get you out of this situation, and arrange a new identity for you. Maybe you'll even have a chance to reunite with your family!"

Seeing Zhao Changxian slowly regain his composure, Fang Li said:

"Now, answer me a question. Is my colleague who interrogated you today one of your people?"

At this time, Zhao Changxian's face changed constantly. Finally, he closed his eyes and made up his mind. Like a deflated ball, he nodded listlessly.

　Cheng Ying's pestle and mortar, the moon shining in the west, from Liang Qichao's Biography of Tan Sitong:
　　"Without those who travel, there is no way to plan for the future; without those who die, there is no way to repay the holy master. Now the fate of the South Sea is uncertain. Cheng Ying is pounding the mortar, and the moon is shining in the west. You and I will share the responsibility."

　　It means that one is willing to emulate the conduct of Gongsun and Chujiu in "The Orphan of Zhao", as well as Monk Yuezhao and Saigo in the late Tokugawa shogunate!

　　He made personal sacrifice to fulfill the sacred cause in his mind and stood up to the challenge to repay the Emperor Guangxu for his kindness.
