In a secret base on the outskirts of Yan Mountain, Jiang Cheng was tied to a steel beam. Steel handcuffs passed through the steel beam, and Jiang Cheng was hung in the air.
There were four men in different uniforms standing in front of him. The one on the far left had the rank of Major on his shoulder. Jiang Cheng couldn't see the department name on the armband clearly. The officer stood there shaking his legs from time to time and kept staring at Jiang Cheng. However, seeing that he was already a Major at such a young age, Jiang Cheng had reason to believe that this guy was either the kind of capable or the kind that had a powerful background.
The second person was a soldier in a field camouflage uniform. He was also a major, but this person was much older than the major next to him. At first glance, this person was already middle-aged. He was also much calmer, and his posture was very standard. At first glance, one could tell that he was a typical soldier.
The third one was a man in a police uniform. Jiang Cheng didn't know much about the police's epaulets, but looking at the stripes on the uniform, Jiang Cheng believed that this person's rank shouldn't be low. The police who dared to arrest him had to be at least a cadre above the division level to be able to mobilize the special police force.
But in a place like Beijing, there was no shortage of cadres. If you were a section chief or something, no one would recognize you on the street. A section chief's rank was similar to a local village chief's rank. If you were a section chief or above, you could be considered to have some influence. Maybe you could even be promoted or enter the State Council. That would be a bright future.
The person standing on the right was a man in a suit and glasses. Jiang Cheng didn't know who this person was, but judging by his appearance, Jiang Cheng classified him as a lawyer.
Each of the four people took a stool and sat in front of Jiang Cheng. Then the man in the police uniform in the middle spoke. He said to Jiang Cheng, "The suspect, Jiang Cheng, coerced Ye Yuwei, a senior scientist of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, on XX Day, stole our country's advanced scientific research products, and colluded with enemy spies. Now, I have arrested you for espionage, treason, and endangering public safety. This is the arrest warrant!"
With that, the policeman took out a document and waved it in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes, then immediately took it back. Jiang Cheng didn't even see the three words "arrest warrant" clearly before the paper disappeared.
After the policeman read the arrest warrant to Jiang Cheng, he sat back in his seat. The other three also sat down randomly. The oldest officer took out a pen and a notebook. It seemed that he was going to start taking notes. The others also followed suit. Only the man in a suit with glasses took out a briefcase.
The man in glasses first took out a business card from his bag, then walked in front of Jiang Cheng. He waved the business card in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes and said, "Hello, I am your lawyer, Guo Tianming. From now on, I will defend your case!"
After the lawyer said these words in an extremely stiff manner, he sat back in his seat and gestured for the other three to begin.
When Jiang Cheng saw this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. How was this a f * cking lawyer? He was simply an accomplice that they found. It would be easy for them to charge him with any crime they wanted. However, this couldn't be blamed on society. Jiang Cheng had indeed committed a crime that endangered national security.
Now that the matter had been exposed, it was very likely that there was a big problem with Ye Yuwei's part. Perhaps she was discovered when she was returning ZX19. In the end, Ye Yuwei couldn't stand the torture and gave him up. This was also a possibility.
This matter wasn't very well done. As long as they met a serious person, they would almost be able to find out the truth. Jiang Cheng originally thought that everything would be fine after he put the things back, but he didn't expect something to go wrong at the last moment. This time, he was in trouble.
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything. He squinted his eyes and adjusted his breathing. It was very uncomfortable for him to be hung on the steel beam. His entire body was hanging, and the handcuffs on his hands were hurting his wrists. He didn't even need to think to know that his wrists had already become red and swollen.
Originally, he had been tossing around with Hu Pei for the whole night last night, and his entire body was exhausted. Now that he was hung like this, anyone would feel uncomfortable.
However, there was nothing Jiang Cheng could do. He could only hang there awkwardly. He was already in this state, and it was basically impossible for him to expect others to save him. The only thing he could do now was to wait and see and wait for the sentence.
How could Jiang Cheng, who was in the military, not understand?
Even the military had been mobilized. It could be seen that the military also attached great importance to this case. Otherwise, it would be impossible for half of the four people to be soldiers.
However, these two majors seemed to be very unhappy with him. They almost didn't look at him during the whole time. It was the policeman who had been reading Jiang Cheng's crimes over there.
Jiang Cheng didn't speak. He just hung there like this. When the policeman finished asking, Jiang Cheng said weakly, "Are you done?"
The policeman was furious. In any case, he was also a deputy division cadre. Although he wasn't a big shot in the bureau, he was still a respected person. He had solved no less than dozens of cases. This time, this spy case was originally a matter of the National Security Bureau, but in the end, he didn't know what happened, the case was pushed to the Public Security Bureau.
The director saw the ironclad evidence of this case and felt that there was basically no need to interrogate anything. He directly went through the procedures, and then threw the person into the detention center, waiting for the case to be returned to the National Security Bureau.
After the policeman finished reading all the crimes of Jiang Cheng, he whispered a few words to the two majors next to him, and then directly left.
After a while, eight soldiers came in from outside. Among them, the tallest soldier came in and directly punched Jiang Cheng's stomach. This punch made Jiang Cheng's stomach shrink, and his whole body suddenly arched.
"Boy, have some strength. Aren't you afraid that one day when I come out, I'll cripple you for life?"
His head could be broken, but his aura couldn't be disturbed. This was Jiang Cheng's principle. After being punched hard just now, Jiang Cheng could still spit on the tall soldier's face and then ridicule him.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Cheng's words, the expression of the nearly 1.9 meters big man became even more ferocious. He once again turned his palm into a fist and directly punched Jiang Cheng's stomach.
"Dong, dong, dong."
After three punches, the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth began to bleed, and his whole expression also became a lot more painful.
After suffering these three punches, Jiang Cheng finally felt the pain. "Damn, you have some strength, but your kung fu is still not good enough. It's far worse than when I was a soldier. I could kill a cow with one punch back then. With your strength, I guess you might not be able to kill it even with 70 or 80 punches!"
The tall soldier was not angry. He laughed sinisterly and said, "You still dare to mention that you used to be a soldier? Bah, you'd better wash up and prepare to eat flowers to give birth, traitor!"
After that, the tall soldier called a few soldiers, who immediately took out handcuffs and shackles and began to put them on Jiang Cheng. Soon, Jiang Cheng was taken off the steel beam, but a pair of handcuffs was added to his hands, and a pair of anklets was added to his feet.
The anklet was solid and had an iron ball attached to it. It weighed 30 to 40 kilograms. With every step Jiang Cheng took, the huge iron ball rolled forward a little. The iron ball was very heavy, and the anklet was pulled tightly. Soon, there was a circle of red marks on Jiang Cheng's ankle.
Jiang Cheng thought about running, but he immediately gave up the idea when he saw the scene outside the door. At first glance, he knew that this was a unit directly under the military. It was almost impossible to escape unarmed here.
Moreover, if he ran, it would mean that he had directly admitted to the crimes he had committed, and he would also be added to the charge of fleeing to avoid punishment.
Death was not scary. What Jiang Cheng was afraid of was that if he died on the way to escape, it might affect his family. This was what he was most worried about.
Pulling a radish and bringing mud out of it was the most unjust thing. Since he couldn't run, he might as well not run and just wait for the sentence.
Right was right, wrong was wrong. In dealing with this matter, if he considered from the perspective of national security, he really shouldn't have taken the risk of exchanging ZX19 for Hu Pei. But standing on the side of personal morality, Jiang Cheng still chose this path without hesitation.
As the saying goes, a man with a sense of responsibility. If he was wrong, he was wrong. If he did something wrong, he should pay the price. There was nothing much to say. If he ran, it would make others look down on him, and he would also embarrass his family and his old superior. This was something that Jiang Cheng absolutely didn't want to see.
Jiang Cheng was once again covered with a hood, and then he was taken to a military off-road vehicle. Under the escort of eight armed soldiers, he was sent to a detention center in the suburbs.
The detention center had received a notice early on that an important criminal would be escorted to their unit today. The director of the detention center had already prepared a "single room" specifically to receive Jiang Cheng.
Sure enough, after Jiang Cheng was sent to prison, he was immediately escorted to the place where serious criminals were locked up and locked in a small, dark room.
This was a small room that was less than one square meter. There was no light in the room. After Jiang Cheng was escorted inside, he changed into the prison's yellow vest. The prison instructor recorded the serial number on Jiang Cheng's vest and then removed the hood from Jiang Cheng's head. Jiang Cheng found himself in darkness as soon as he took off the hood.
In the small, dark room that was less than one square meter, he couldn't lie down, nor could he sit properly. Standing was even more tiring. In addition, there were handcuffs and anklets on his hands and feet. This half a day, Jiang Cheng felt that it was the longest day of his life.
At noon, the police who delivered his meals came. When the police knocked on the iron door, the lights in the small, dark room suddenly turned on. Jiang Cheng subconsciously closed his eyes. He wasn't used to seeing light after such a long period of darkness.
