Chapter Fourteen Interrogation

  Kai Qi sat behind a table with his head down, holding a pen and scratching on a metal plate. A small but very sharp sound kept coming from the friction between the two metals. Every time he scratched, Liu Qi's heart would throb once. However, Liu Qi didn't let Kai Qi stop.

  While the Italian soldiers next to Keats seemed to be enjoying themselves, they were all smiling and staring at the British officer with ill intentions. The British officer, on the other hand, was trembling with fear, like a sheep facing a wolf, his hands clasped together in front of his chest, and his face full of panic and pleading expressions.

  It was really him, a talented person. Liu Qi cursed silently in his heart. It's not clear whether Liu Qi was scolding the British major or scolding Keqi's boring behavior.

  "I am Major Beek, Merick, Quartermaster of the 4th Division Headquarters of the British Army. Number 104010439." Beek stopped for a moment and then continued, "I demand to be treated as a prisoner of war with special privileges, including at least one bath per week. I also want regular newspapers and to send news of my capture to my family through the Red Cross. And..."

  Baek talked endlessly for half a day, basically treating Liu Qi and the others like Hilton's service staff. Wanting this and that, what rights, freedom, human rights. Liu Qi was almost amused to death, but he didn't make a sound, still narrowing his eyes comfortably leaning on the chair. However, the other few people were unwilling to listen.

  Katch made a sign, an Italian soldier walked slowly to Beck's front with his hands behind his back. A hook punch hit Beck's belly. Beck's muttering stopped immediately, only to see Beck's twisted face, mouth wide open, and eyes staring wildly. Both hands pressed against the punched area, slowly curling up to the ground, the wide-open mouth tried hard to make a cry, but that punch made it difficult for Beck to breathe, let alone shout.

  Talents, beating people to this realm. The punch is powerful, the position is accurate, it can produce great pain, and it makes people unable to cry out loud. Liu Qi couldn't help but look at Kechi's cellmates with a bit of admiration. Think about it, there are guards everywhere in prison, fighting and beating someone until they scream loudly will attract the guards, how can you still fight? Plus, these are all military prisoners, that guy who doesn't have any skills can mix in.

  Caiti beckoned to another scrawny Italian soldier, who walked up calmly. However, the Italian soldier did not beat Major Beck, but instead helped him up, pulled out a handkerchief from his body and wiped off the dust on Major Beck's body. He then brought over a stool for Major Beck to sit down. Only then did he speak, "Major Beck, I am Nasir, Vieri, they all call me Doctor. I apologize for my friend's rough treatment of you. You can rest assured that I will discipline them later, but Major, you must also cooperate with us."

  "I am Major Beek, Merick, Quartermaster of the 4th Division Headquarters of the British Army. Number 104010439." Major Beek was completely unaware of what kind of people he was facing and continued to talk tough.

  The doctor didn't get angry, instead he gently stroked Beck's face with his hand and said in a soft tone: "There are 206 bones in the human body. The arms and hands have 60, the legs and feet have 60, the torso has 60, and the skull has 26. The larger ones include the tibia, femur, and pelvis. The smallest is the auditory ossicle. They can be classified into long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones. I studied in medical school for 8 years and am familiar with the location of each bone. The human body also has 635 muscles, divided into striated muscle tissue, smooth muscle tissue, cardiac muscle tissue..."

  The doctor spoke while tracing his fingers over Beck's body, like a professor lecturing at medical school, with light and elegant movements. Meanwhile, Beck's face convulsed violently in sync with the doctor's words and the touch of his fingers.

  Liu Qi looked at the scene with confusion, then turned his head and asked the SS officer next to him in a low voice, "What's going on with the doctor?" The SS officer whispered a few words into Liu Qi's ear. Only then did Liu Qi understand what was happening. It turned out that the doctor wasn't actually a real doctor. However, the fact that he had been at medical school was true, but his identity as a student was false - he was actually a janitor.

  This guy, while doing odd jobs, not only learned all the courses of medical school, but also psychology, psychiatry, and even self-studied English, French, German, Spanish, and Russian. I really don't know what kind of brain this guy has or how he did it. And this guy's favorite thing to do is to sweep the corpses that have already been dissected in the academy, and then he uses medical methods to sew all the body parts back together from the inside out, even the old professors can't find any flaws. It can be said that this guy is now a complete expert in human anatomy.

  Later, the conscription order sent this guy to the army. At first, nothing was wrong, but during the battle, this guy actually used a scalpel to dissect the corpse of his own comrade. After being discovered, he was caught by the military police and sent to prison, where he was also a notorious figure. Everyone kept their distance from him, even our SS didn't want to mess with him. However, this guy was afraid of K?the, and whatever K?the said, this guy listened carefully.

  After hearing the doctor's story, Liu Qi also sighed with emotion. The forest is so big that all kinds of birds exist. If this were to be passed down to future generations, who knows if he would become the second "Yang Kui" doctor? Thinking about his natural talent for learning, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a genius. He's simply a learning madman.

  "After ten minutes of gentle persuasion by the doctor, 'Don't say any more... I'll tell you anything you want to know,' Major Bek shouted as he jumped up."

  "Is that right? Only by revealing the secrets in our hearts can we become friends." The doctor continued to say in a gentle tone.

  Major Beck suddenly pounced on Liu Qi's side, and Liu Qi and several others were startled. Before they could react, Major Beck knelt down at Liu Qi's feet, hugged his legs with both hands, and said urgently, "Colonel, you want to know what? I can tell you everything, just please keep me away from him a little further. I really can't take it anymore." After finishing speaking, he burst into tears, sobbing loudly.

  It's all right, Liu Qi couldn't help but secretly admire the captain's thick skin. However, as long as he's human, facing a doctor will probably drive him crazy soon enough. Liu Qi waved his hand at Kaito and then said to the nearby Party Guard officer, "First take the captain down to change clothes, it's so cool outside, be careful not to catch a cold. Then we'll have a good talk with Captain."

  Baek followed a military officer to change clothes with a grateful face, and when he left, he saw the doctor's harmless smile looking at him, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

  Liu Qi turned his head to the doctor and said, "Nasir, Mr. Vieri, you are a true expert." Liu Qi didn't say what kind of expert. "Your methods truly make me admire you beyond measure, and as for your outstanding talent, I have decided to promote your military rank. From now on, you will be a junior lieutenant. Congratulations."

  When Vieri heard that Liu Qi had promoted himself to be an officer, he was full of passionate smiles and said excitedly: "Colonel sir, you are a generous person. My whole family is Catholic, I represent my whole family to thank you. To serve as a messenger of God like you, I feel extremely honored. However, as a doctor, saving lives and healing wounds is my profession, I want to save as many human lives as possible in my limited life..."

  Liu Qi was stunned, this guy really knew how to take advantage of the situation. He couldn't give him a little bit of sunlight or he would become radiant. Hurriedly, he said "Don't worry, Vieyri, after we win this battle, even if you want to be the dean, I can make it happen for you."

  "Thanks, Commander," Vieri said.

  "Thank me for what?" Liu Qi asked with some curiosity.

  "Thanks to Commander Zhong for letting me be the hospital director after the battle, didn't you just say that?" said Vieri.

  "This..." Liu Qi was suddenly speechless, having seen shameless people before. But he had never seen anyone as shameless as this. Liu Qi could only vaguely say "Let's finish the fight first."

  Actually, there are also many hospitals in the industries controlled by the Andrei family, some of which make money and some of which do not. There are Red Cross hospitals and church-run hospitals. But Liu Qi didn't know about these things, and secondly, Liu Qi didn't want to take this guy to the hospital either. Who knows, maybe the hospital would turn into a slaughterhouse at that time. People go to the hospital not to seek death.

  But Liu Qi did not expect that after the war, Vieri really became a doctor. Due to his superb medical skills, countless lives were saved. Finally, twenty years later, he took the position of president of the Roman Medical Academy. Forty years later, he was also elected as the lifelong honorary president, but before his death, he left behind a will that said, "The most important person in my life is General Hans and Andrei. It was he who inspired me to become a qualified president."

  After a short wait, the SS officer led Beck in. Liu Qi motioned for Beck to sit down at the table, then picked up the military map and said to him, "Alright, Mr. Beck, I want you to mark on the map the number of troops, locations, and equipment of your army."

  "Sir, I'm sorry. These are things that only the army group staff would know about, and I'm not too clear on them myself. All I know is our division's situation and a general idea of what's going on with the adjacent units," Beck said.

  "Oh, is that so? What do you think, Doctor?" Liu Qi said in a questioning tone, then raised his eyes to glance at Vieri.

  Vieri said in a very calm tone, "Judging from Major Beck's breathing rate and facial features, the possibility of lying is not high. However, if Mr. Beck has received more than 5 years of professional psychological training, he can also achieve this point now. To verify whether Mr. Beck is lying or not, we can cut open one of his blood vessels to see if the blood flow increases when he lies. If it does increase, it means he's lying."

  "No, no, don't hurt me, I'm telling the truth, please...!" Beck begged in fear.

  "Oh, I see. Then tell me about your master's situation." Liu Qi said to Beike.

  "Our teacher is..." As Beck spoke, Liu Qi slowly came to understand the situation.

  I just pinned the first post of this book to get a recommendation ticket, and I didn't expect it to be so difficult to get a recommendation ticket. This post will stay here as a keepsake. Also, thank you to all the friends who gave me a recommendation ticket for the first time reading the book.
