Chapter 178 You have done a great job!
The next morning, when the sky was still slightly light, Jiang Zeyuan got up and rushed back to the troops.
Along the way, his heart was like a taut bowstring, and he kept thinking about the plan to make Captain Zhang take the truth pill without anyone knowing.
When I stepped into the interrogation room, Captain Zhang was sitting on a chair with a gloomy face.
That look was full of arrogance and disdain.
Jiang Zeyuan's eyes swept over him. Although he was angry in his heart, his face remained calm as water.
"Captain Zhang, sorry to have kept you waiting." Jiang Zeyuan said as he walked steadily closer, holding a glass of water steadily in his hand.
Captain Zhang snorted coldly and turned his head to the side, "Stop pretending, use whatever means you have!"
Jiang Zeyuan didn't care. He smiled and gently placed the cup of water in front of Captain Zhang. "Come, have a drink of water first, and then we can talk slowly."
Captain Zhang glanced at the water cup and said, "I'm not thirsty!"
Jiang Zeyuan shrugged, "Okay, let's get started."
As he spoke, he seemingly inadvertently touched the water glass, causing the water to splash out and wet the table.
"This is not good." Jiang Zeyuan quickly took out a handkerchief, pretended to wipe the table, and took the opportunity to mix the crushed truth pill powder into the water.
"Captain Zhang, the water has been spilled. It would be a waste if we don't drink it. Besides, if we don't drink the water, our throat will be dry and it will be difficult for us to continue the interrogation."
Jiang Zeyuan's gaze was firm and unquestionable.
Captain Zhang frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Maybe he was really thirsty, or maybe he thought drinking some water was no big deal.
Finally, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one breath.
A glimmer of joy flashed across Jiang Zeyuan's pupils.
He quickly composed himself, turned around and walked out of the interrogation room, and called in the other interrogators.
A new round of interrogation thus began.
"Captain Zhang, please tell me your true identity." Jiang Zeyuan crossed his arms, staring at Captain Zhang with sharp eyes.
"Hmph, I am the head of the xx organization hiding in South Island. Don't waste your time!" Captain Zhang shouted loudly, with veins bulging on his neck.
"Then why did you appear in the bamboo forest and point a gun at Comrade Jian Yue?" Jiang Zeyuan took a step forward, his voice becoming increasingly stern.
"I...I went to silence him."
As soon as the words came out, Captain Zhang's eyes widened instantly, his face full of horror and disbelief.
I subconsciously covered my mouth and thought to myself that something was wrong.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room suddenly became tense.
The other interrogators looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Jiang Zeyuan was secretly delighted, but his expression remained calm. "What mission? Who ordered you to do it?"
"Yes...it was the xx organization that asked me to..."
Captain Zhang's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He shook his head desperately, trying to stop himself from speaking any further, but his mouth seemed to be out of control.
At this time, Captain Zhang held the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands.
His finger joints turned white from the exertion and his body couldn't stop shaking.
"Go on, what is your plan?" Jiang Zeyuan had no intention of letting him go and pressed on step by step.
"We...we plan to steal the army's confidential information and then destroy..." Captain Zhang's voice was tearful and his eyes were full of despair.
Hearing this, there was an uproar in the interrogation room.
The interrogators gasped and almost dropped their pens.
"Do you have other accomplices in the army?" Jiang Zeyuan's voice was like thunder.
"Yes, and more..." Captain Zhang was like a deflated ball, confessing everything in detail.
Later, after hearing the news, Brigade Commander Zhou also hurried into the interrogation room to participate.
When he heard Captain Zhang talking endlessly about those shocking secrets, he was also stunned by the sudden surprise of solving the case.
Brigade Commander Zhou stood aside, his expression gradually changing from initial disbelief to seriousness and relief.
He listened attentively to every word of Captain Zhang without blinking, for fear of missing any key information.
Following the instructions of Captain Zhang, the spies lurking in the army were named one by one.
The entire South Island's spy network gradually became clear to everyone.
However, when asked about the situation of spies in other places.
Captain Zhang shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Still, it's a huge breakthrough.
The interrogators all had happy expressions on their faces, and their excitement was evident in their words.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and excitement, and all the previous fatigue and pressure disappeared at this moment.
One interrogator couldn't help but clench his fist and shouted: "Finally, we caught these guys. The safety of our troops is guaranteed!"
Others nodded.
Brigade Commander Zhou stepped forward and patted Jiang Zeyuan on the shoulder. "Xiao Jiang, you have done a great job! If it weren't for you, this case would have been delayed for who knows how long."
Jiang Zeyuan straightened his back and saluted, "Brigade Commander, this is what I should do!"
Brigade Commander Zhou nodded with satisfaction. "Everyone deserves credit for making this go so smoothly. But we can't let our guard down. We must speed up the follow-up cleanup work and not let any spy slip through the net!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
Captain Zhang hung his head. At this moment, he had lost his previous arrogance.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was heated and tense.
Everyone knows that this victory is just the beginning and there is more work waiting for them to complete.
Jiang Zeyuan returned home with the joy of victory, and couldn't wait to share it with Jian Yue as soon as he saw her.
"Wife, we've got it. The hidden dangers in our army will soon be eliminated!"
"Great! This is really good news."
The two were so happy that they decided to celebrate.
Jian Yue turned around and took out the bamboo shoots that she had hidden in the space before, preparing to make a meal of bamboo shoots stewed with pig's trotters.
First, peel off the outer shell of the bamboo shoots layer by layer to reveal the tender bamboo shoots inside.
Then cut the bamboo shoots into small pieces, put them into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, and boil over high heat.
After the water boiled, Jian Yue added a small spoonful of salt to the pot.
The blanching step to remove the astringency is essential, otherwise the bamboo shoots will taste astringent.
After cooking for a few minutes, Jian Yue took out the bamboo shoots and quickly soaked them in cold water.
This will make the bamboo shoots more tender and have a better taste.
After processing the bamboo shoots, she skillfully washed and cut the pig's trotters into pieces.
Put the food into a pot with cold water, add ginger slices and cooking wine and blanch it to remove the fishy smell.
Next, pour oil into the pan and add rock sugar and fry until the sugar color turns.
Pour the pig's trotters into the pot and stir-fry until colored, then add onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon and other spices to stir-fry until fragrant.
Jian Yue carefully controlled the heat, while Jiang Zeyuan handed over seasonings from time to time.
Then, put the chopped bamboo shoots into the pot and stir-fry evenly with the pig's trotters.
Pour in an appropriate amount of water, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt and other seasonings, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.
After a while, the kitchen was filled with rich aroma.
When the bamboo shoots and pig's trotters were stewed, the two couldn't help but eat them with relish...
