Chapter 116 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

The White House at Mount Davis is officially called the Victoria Road Detention Centre.

A secret detention center during the Hong Kong government period.

It is the only building on the entire Victoria Road that has no house number or address, only layers of walls covered with barbed wire.

Two movies were filmed here in later generations, one was the Oriental Hotel in "2046", and the other was Mr. Yi's hiding place in "The Ring".

This is Zhai Yuan’s general understanding of the White House.

"Get out of the car!"

The black sedan stopped in front of a big door, and two police officers in the back row shouted at Zhai Yuan in a deep voice.

"Sir, eat cigarettes."

Zhai Yuan walked down with a smile, took out a bag of Hongwan money from his pocket, and stuffed it into their hands with skillful movements.

The two policemen were speechless for a while. He spoke in a very pretentious manner, which did not look like a teenage student at all.

"Don't be so frivolous, go in and explain your problem!"

As he said this, he walked into the main entrance of the white house first and asked Zhai Yuan to follow behind them.

Zhai Yuan sighed, bit his cigarette and lit it. Seeing that no one stopped him, he felt a little relieved.

Being allowed to smoke and not handcuffed means that the problem is not serious.

Enter the wall.

It is a large playground with four two-story buildings.

Following the police officer's footsteps, we walked into one of the buildings. Inside were unpainted gray-white walls, with occasional iron cages containing more or less people.

There are Asian faces and also some foreigners.

Zhai Yuan was taken to the second floor.

These are individual prison cells.

The door was tightly closed, with only a hole carved out in the door panel that was barely big enough to pass a bowl of rice through.

The atmosphere in the entire building was very depressing. Even the space above and below the stairs was blocked by barbed wire. Apart from the echoing footsteps of the three people, one could occasionally hear screams from the prisoners during torture, which made Zhai Yuan frown unconsciously.

"go in."

The two police officers stopped in front of a cell and looked back at Zhai Yuan.

"Forget it, my mother is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Zhai Yuan forced an ugly smile.

The two police officers looked at each other and sneered at him.

"Are you scared now? Tell me, who instructed you to record those things on the video tape?"

"Sirs, no one ordered me to do that. It was the Freedom Federation that didn't allow my film to be shown in Taiwan, so I had no choice but to release the cassette. I just acted on impulse at the time."

Zhai Yuan had an aggrieved look on his face, which was consistent with what he would do at his age.

However, the police officer from the Special Branch was not fooled and continued to scold, "If you refuse to tell the truth, we can keep you here for three to five years. You are also from the film industry, you should know that there was a movie called The Three Princesses of the Great Wall, and Sun Huili in the movie lived in this cell for two years!"

There are three princesses of the Great Wall. The eldest princess is Xia Meng, and the second princess is Sun Huili. Her daughter Fu Mingxian later played Guo Fu in the 95 TV series "The Return of the Exorcist".

Zhai Yuan frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, after the first policeman finished threatening him, the second policeman immediately smiled and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, kid. Just tell us honestly who ordered you to do this and we will send you home right away."

After that, he used a guiding tone and said in a friendly manner: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I'll give you a few options. Is it the newly reorganized Silver Capital Film Company of Changfeng? Or the Hong Kong Youth Federation? Or the Hong Kong Diaoyu Islands Protection Association?"

Zhai Yuan immediately understood why he was called in for questioning by the Political Department today.

You want to use me as a knife, right?
"Report, Sir! I was instructed to do this by the Freedom Federation, whose full name is the Hong Kong and Kowloon Film and Drama Freedom Federation. Arrest them all!"

Zhai Yuan answered without hesitation.

The police officer who had been smiling just now suddenly looked gloomy.

We want to kill someone by borrowing a knife, and you want to play the same game with us?
This is because all patriotic associations at that time were initiated independently by the public and were never widely publicized in Hong Kong government news.

But you are blaming others for Taiwan's misfortune while claiming that you are a member of the Freedom Association. Do you really think we are fools?
"You don't know what's good for you. Go in!"

This time, Zhai Yuan was pushed and shoved into the cell.

Standing outside the cell, the two police officers looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Now how to do?"

"The meaning from above is very clear. This is the only way to target them."

"You can't really torture a kid who is not even 21 years old? He is not even older than my son. I believe he was acting on impulse."

"Let's use some tricks first. Also, didn't we capture two spies from Taiwan last night? Bring them here later to scare him."

Zhai Yuan in the cell didn't know what the two people outside were discussing.

But I finally understand what they want to do.

Unfortunately, I made a wrong calculation. I, Ding Li... No, I, Zhai Yuan, dare to do anything, but I dare not be a traitor!

Just as I thought of this, a high-power air conditioner above my head suddenly started up, making a rumbling sound.

Zhai Yuan's face fell: "No way, are you going to use this trick?"

After more than an hour, he was shivering from the cold and his lips were black and blue.

The cell door finally opened again.

Two police officers pushed the door open and shivered unconsciously at the cold air in the room.

"Hey, pretty boy. Do you remember who ordered you to do this?"

"The Free General Assembly."

As soon as Zhai Yuan opened his mouth, a cloud of white gas came out.

"pick!"

The police officer cursed and waved outside the door, and two badly beaten Taiwan spies were pushed in.

"These two were sent by Treasure Island to greet you. If you refuse to tell me, I will lock them up with you!"

"Come on, I learned a few moves at a martial arts school in the Walled City, and I'm going to give it a try today. Please give me some advice!"

Zhai Yuan stomped his numb feet, blew a few breaths of hot air into his hands, and tremblingly made one of Huang Feihong's signature moves.

Apart from playing dumb, don't say a word at this time. Mentioning Pang Ka Yin, Sit Wan Yan and Ho Chi Long would only cause trouble for the other party.

They are conducting a live broadcast of the drunk driving check with a recorder on the entire internet, and you insist on saying that you know so-and-so. Isn't that going to cause trouble?
Zhai Yuan now sees the situation clearly.

It is highly likely that the other party will not really attack him, otherwise the two people from Taiwan would have been beaten into bloody pulps, but he would not have seen a single injury.

The two police officers indeed had awkward expressions on their faces and spoke in low voices.

"Bring me a bucket of water."

"Is it going too far? There are already media outlets reporting on this."

"The higher-ups told us to try to force him to change his words and scare him once more."

Soon, a large basin of clean water appeared in the cell.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, two police officers skillfully put on rubber gloves, picked the hair of a Taiwan spy in front of Zhai Yuan, and pressed his hands into a basin of water.

Then he pulled over a piece of wire and slowly touched the water surface.

The man from Baodao twitched all over and screamed in pain.

"Handsome boy, are you willing to confess? If this thing happens to you, even a medical examination won't reveal any injuries."

The police officer turned around, stared at Zhai Yuan fiercely, and spoke threateningly.

Zhai Yuan raised his eyebrows and quickly extracted the key information from this sentence.

Oh! Sure enough, you are afraid of leaving injuries, which means you still have concerns.

"Sirs, how about we discuss something?"

He put his hands in his sleeves and sniffed as he approached the two officers.

…………

"Two hundred thousand per person? Robbery!"

After Zhai Yuan came out of the white house, he did not return to Kowloon. Instead, he booked a suite at the Peninsula Hotel nearby and asked the waiter to boil a pot of ginger and sugar water to ward off the cold.

When Shen Wei, Peng Jiayan, Chen Jiale and others received the news and rushed over, Zhai Yuan was shivering in his quilt.

Upon learning that Zhai Yuan spent 600,000 Hong Kong dollars to bribe three special wing police officers including the driver to escape from the white house in Mount Davis, Chen Jiale exclaimed with his eyes wide open.

"It's just robbery."

Zhai Yuan's voice was hoarse. He had been frozen for too long and now had a slight fever. His throat also hurt as if it was being stabbed by a knife.

"You're lucky to be able to get out. Many people die in the White House every year."

Peng Jiayan touched Zhai Yuan's forehead, added some water to his bowl, and frowned, complaining, "I told you not to get involved in so many things. Do you regret it now?"

Shen Wei also nodded in agreement. Apart from Chen Jiale, they knew something about the White House.

Zhai Yuan briefly explained the situation. He also learned from the two police officers that the foreigners did want to use him as a knife this time, but after all, he was a native of Hong Kong, and he could still find his files at Sau Mau Ping Secondary School. There was no way he could put the blame on someone who had just graduated from school.

It's just that because he is young, they want to use a combination of coaxing and scaring him.

If it works, it will be an unexpected gain; if it doesn’t work, it can at least deter people outside.

Fortunately, Zhai Yuan could afford the money, otherwise if he had been locked up for a few more days, his illness would not have been just a minor cold and fever.

"There's nothing to regret. No one would have thought that the foreigners would get involved, but this matter has come to an end."

Zhai Yuan asked Chen Jiale about the recent business of the video hall and Secret Garden, both of them were making small profits.

"Let me recover for a few days. The latest news is a bit big. Let's see what other monsters pop up."

Zhai Yuan sniffed and said, "It would be best if they all turned against me, so that I won't be lenient when dealing with them."

PS: This is the only way to deal with the White House plot. Everything I write is blocked by the review. It makes me doubt my life. I will quickly skip this plot and go pick up girls to make money.
