The interrogation room of the Taiyuan station cell is separated by a thick fence.Very thick hemp rope was suspended from the wooden beams.One end of the hemp rope was used to tie the thumbs of the prisoner's hands tied behind his back.As soon as there is a "hanging" hemp rope, it is pulled up, and the person is hoisted off the ground.At first the victim's toes could touch the ground, the hemp rope was attached to the hook, and the interrogation continued.After a few minutes, the victim was sweating profusely.If there is no confession at this time, the torturer will cry out, as the ancient officials did to announce the next punishment: "pull" the victim's body and hang it in the air, and the weight of the whole body will fall to the two thumbs.While the victim was sweating profusely, the torturer sat comfortably on the side smoking a cigarette and watched the victim struggle in pain.If the victim does not confess, the pain usually causes him to lose consciousness; Then the body is lowered and poured with a basin of cold water.Until the victim wakes up and is hung again.Usually, one hanging is enough for the prisoner to confide what he knows.The agents used these insider's jargon, which was very revealing.If "hanging" is not enough, then the torturers of the military command will move to the next step of "frying ribs".The victim was still hanging from the girders with his toes on the ground and his legs tied together to prevent him from kicking someone.His clothes were stripped naked, and his back was pressed against the wall.A torturer would wear thick leather gloves and then press slowly and the victim's ribs, creating friction and squeezing the internal organs.Survivors of this torture not only suffered prolonged chest pain later on, but the pain did not make them faint, so the Interrogators of the Secret Service used this torture until they later learned to use electrocution.The basic psychological method of punishment is to divide the world into "us" and "them".Scapegoating and belittling others are important means of achieving this end.The torturers must believe that their world is righteous in order to go crazy against their victims.One consequence of this belief is that the interrogators treat the victims as self-inflicted, and that the victims are effectively deserving of the punishment.In the eyes of the torturer, the more painful the victim is, the more justified he is to be punished.This method of thinking is not uncommon and generally does not cause cruelty.However, this state of mind is a prerequisite for the abuse of others, and it becomes a psychological condition that exterminates humanity for those who see the victim as a threat to the social order or as a result of racial contamination.Most torturers are made, not born.They are gradually pushed into this perverted mental condition.Amnesty International reports that the transition from a guard to an torturer often begins with working as a guard outside the interrogation room and hearing the sound of beatings coming from inside.After being transferred to a detention cell, they witnessed how the victims were humiliated.Eventually, if they are competent, they will "suddenly take an active part" and beat the prisoners themselves.Just as the torturer "loses his humanity", they make the victim feel that he has lost his mental strength, that he is losing the integrity of his body.Dai Lia uses two types of punishment to achieve this purpose: the "tiger chair" and the "stepping on the bar", both of which cripple the victim.This is how the interrogators of the military command specifically deal with the suspected communists, leaving them disabled for life."
In order to force the revolutionaries to confess and come up with new clues, the agents always try their best to torture the revolutionaries' bodies."
They not only have the desire to trample and destroy the human body, but also pursue scientific efficiency.Secret policemen like Shen Zui, who teach "operational techniques" to novices, are always keen to develop more effective punishments.Within a day or two of the invention of the new torture equipment, they tested it on the inmates in the cells of the Shanghai station to perfect their skills and then added it to the military training program.From a psychological point of view, this "professional" and seemingly "detached" interest in "engaging in the penal business" is part of what Robert Levton calls "duplicity": these people "form a whole set of feelings and habits" that both fit into their evil roles and enable them to return to their everyday selves after work.Duplicity is the key to daily evil, and it explains how people can get caught up in activities that are so contrary to the rest of their lives.But duplicity is not a completely mysterious process.As the forbidden areas in the torture room were broken one by one, the torturers became more and more cruel and animalistic.For example, the torturers of the military commanders also ate human flesh.Dai Li's agents would use the excuse that some people were "timid" to dig out the hearts and livers of the victims and fry them, saying: "Eating people's hearts can strengthen their courage." ”The torture and sadism of the military commander is made like this Xu Hongying took a hot soldering iron and shook it in front of Lin Shuo: "I think you'd better explain your problems honestly, otherwise, the taste of this kind of human barbecued pork bun is very uncomfortable" Lin Shuo spat blood, with boundless anger in his eyes: "Chen Luobing, you wait, the special operations bureau is not easy to mess with, you just wait to eat the lawsuit" "Hahaha special battle situation, count a fart, if you don't explain your problems well today, I think it will be difficult for you to see the sun tomorrow" aa2705221:
