Chapter 220 The crystallization of human wisdom: flatter more, kowtow more, talk less, do less [5700](3/3)
Zhongxi——Nishino’s real name.
Xin Jiaxuan is Xin Qiji.
"Xin Jiaxuan slaps the railing" is one of the most famous allusions in the Chinese cultural circle.
Everyone who thinks that their talents are unrecognized and their ambitions are not realized loves to use this classic.
To the extent that unskilled people who have never read books can always think of the three words "shooting the railing" after hearing the name Xin Qiji.
Xin Qiji left the Jin Dynasty at the age of twenty-three and returned to the Song Dynasty, but was never reused. At the age of twenty-six, he wrote "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" and proposed anti-Jin strategies, but they were not adopted.
In the first year of Chunxi, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1174), Xin Qiji was appointed as the counselor of the East Appliance Department. At this time, he had been returning to the south for eight or nine years, but he was idle and served as a minor official.
Once, he climbed up to Jiankang's Appreciation Pavilion and looked at the mountains and rivers of his motherland. He had mixed feelings and regretted that he was full of ambitions but failed to achieve anything, so he wrote a poem "Water Dragon Song".
In this poem, Xin Qiji left a famous saying that will last through the ages: "After looking at Wu Gou, I patted the railings all over, but no one understood it, so I came to see it."
The allusion of "beating the railing all over" comes from this word and sentence.
As if all his strength had been exhausted, Nishino leaned on the bridge railing dejectedly.
No one knows what he is thinking at this moment.
About 10 minutes later, he straightened up and walked down Wufu Bridge alone without saying a word...
…
…
Edo, Wufuqiao, Beibansuo, interrogation room——
"What's your favorite food?"
"Grilled squid..."
"Have you been to Yoshiwara?"
"Been there..."
"Have you ever been to Okaba?"
"Been there..."
"Which Yoshihara house is your favorite?"
"Linghua House..."
"Who do you admire most?"
"'Eternal Sword Master' Ogata Ittousai..."
"What is 1000-7 equal to?"
"I don't know...I can't count..."
"Then let's change it to something simple, what is 5+3?"
"8..."
"How many people are there in your family?"
"Besides me, there is no one else..."
…
As soon as Nishino opened the door of the interrogation room, he heard that his subordinates Okabiki were interrogating Terasaka Juheiji dutifully.
Juheiji Terasaka—the suspicious person lingering at the murder scene of the Kanazawa siblings.
On the day he was arrested, Nishino learned his name through interrogation.
Unfortunately, after revealing his name, Terasaka refused to say anything.
"I'm innocent! I don't know anything! No matter what you say" - he always insisted.
Terasaka's harsh words... play into Nishino's hands!
The thing Nishino is least afraid of is someone with a tough mouth - because he has a unique interrogation method that has been tried and tested!
Seeing the arrival of their eldest son, the Okahiki of Nishino stood up and saluted.
Nishino waved his hand, indicating that they would not be polite and continue to do their own things.
It was at this time that Okabiki, who was in charge of interrogating Terasaka Juheiji, suddenly changed the subject:
"You participated in the murder of Mr. Kanazawa Chusuke and Miss Kanazawa Qin, right?"
Terasaka opened his lips, as if he was about to say something.
But just when he was about to say the words, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly shook his head and said:
"No, that's not right! I didn't! I'm innocent!"
Okabiki ignored Terasaka's defense. He only glanced at the other party indifferently, and then continued:
"So - next question: What is your favorite book to read?"
“Ahhhhhhhh——!”
Terasaka Juheiji seemed to have collapsed, putting his hands in his hair, holding his head and wailing.
"I don't know! I don't know! I really don't know anything! Please stop asking! Please let me sleep!"
"Answer quickly."
Oka said word for word in a cold tone.
"What's your favorite book to read?"
This is Nishino's unique interrogation method - not letting the interrogator sleep, constantly asking the other party yes or no questions, and during the interrogation process, important questions related to the situation are inserted from time to time.
