That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 896 Boomerang

On the evening of the second day after Secretary Guo's accident, mainland investigators arrived in Tokyo.
The people who came didn't care that Li Ye, Liu Muhan and others had just returned from Mitsubishi. They locked everyone in the room overnight and interrogated them one by one.

This interrogation mode, which did not allow collusion, made everyone feel very nervous and uncomfortable. The investigators looked at them with cold eyes, as if they regarded everyone as a murderer.

And this time, they asked one by one, and no one knew which one they were. One was always worried, and felt exhausted and anxious.

Moreover, this time, the questioning was conducted overnight, and each person was questioned for a long time. The people at the back of the line were very anxious and wanted to be questioned quickly and then come back to have a good sleep.

Li Ye was ranked very far back in line, and it was almost dawn outside, but it was still not his turn.

It was not until Lu Zhizhang had finished being questioned that Li Ye heard his name being called.

"Comrade Li Ye, it's your turn."

"Ok."

Li Ye left the room and, accompanied by investigators, went to Room 501, which was temporarily used as an interview room.

Because this is not the mainland, there are no conditions to arrange a "confinement room" for everyone. Everyone is paired up in a room, so the first questioning by the investigation team is very important. We must keep a close eye on it and no one is allowed to exchange information with each other.

However, Lu Zhizhang’s silence does not mean that Li Ye cannot get the information. After all, his ability to observe facial expressions is top-notch.

Li Ye exchanged glances with Lu Zhizhang in the corridor and received the message "everything is fine".

However, the young man who was in charge of guarding Li Ye immediately stood in front of Li Ye. He was obviously also very experienced.

Li Ye calmly followed the other party into Room 501 and saw the three investigators who were conducting the interrogation.

There were two men and one woman, all around 30 or 40 years old. Two of them sat on the bed, one on the left and one on the right. The other sat at the table, and the remaining chair was placed at the intersection of the three people's lines of sight. It was a proper three-person trial.

The three investigators also looked at Li Ye at the first moment, and one of them, a middle-aged man wearing glasses, smiled immediately.

"This is Comrade Li Ye, right? He is indeed young. Come on, sit down. Don't be nervous. This is not some illegal inspection. We are just trying to understand the situation."

"Okay, okay. If you need any help, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to cooperate. By the way, may I ask the leaders' names?"

Li Ye greeted them humbly while trying to figure out the identities of these three people.

You have to ask for a work number when you call customer service, so you can complain if you are unhappy! You can't be asked questions all the time without knowing who is asking them, right?

"Haha, my last name is Liu, you can just call me Lao Liu, this is Lao Sun, and that is Sister Zhang, you sit down, sit down, sit down"

The old man with glasses briefly introduced the three people's surnames to Li Ye. He seemed to be a very friendly person.

But Li Ye can be sure that this Old Liu is a powerful character.

Because ever since Li Ye entered the door, his eyes have been fixed on Li Ye's face. No matter how cheerfully he invited Li Ye to sit down, Li Ye could feel that kind of penetrating scrutiny.

This is an indescribable feeling, but Li Ye has experienced it several times in Teacher Ke.

For example, when Wen Leyu sat at the same table with Li Ye for the first time, Teacher Ke examined Li Ye while standing on the podium.

When Li Ye came to Beijing for the first time and was carried on Wen Leyu's bicycle for a whole day, Teacher Ke also examined Li Ye.

However, after Li Ye got engaged to Wen Leyu, this feeling disappeared. Li Ye believed that it was because Teacher Ke had completely regarded him as "half a son."

After Old Liu asked Li Ye to sit on the chair, he first took off his glasses and wiped them, then yawned, looking very tired.

"Oh, we've been busy all night, let's speed up and just ask casually, otherwise I really can't handle it at my age."

Old Liu put on his glasses and said to Li Ye, "Comrade Li Ye, we have asked several investigators in front of us, and they all said that Secretary Guo had a close relationship with you before he died, and he had talked to you alone several times. So now you explain to us why Secretary Guo jumped off the building."

"."

Li Ye stared at Lao Liu and thought to himself, "This guy is really ruthless and professional."

Old Liu just said he was just asking casually, but now he turned around and put the urinal on his head. If Li Ye hadn't heard countless rumors and experiences about "interviews" before, he might have cursed at him right now.

This kind of conversation is meant to make the person being questioned panic and confused, and then reveal more flaws. Once you get irritated by him, you will basically be led by the nose by him.

[No, I have to be angry too, otherwise it would be abnormal.]

The reason why Li Ye stared was to buy some time to think.

So less than a second later, Li Ye stood up angrily and shouted, "Old Liu, what bullshit are you talking about? What does the life or death of Secretary Guo have to do with me? Who are you to ask me why?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I didn't say that Secretary Guo's death has anything to do with you! Why are you explaining so anxiously? Sit down, sit down, and talk slowly!" Old Liu comforted the angry Li Ye with a smile, looking like a good old man.

Li Ye said angrily: "Secretary Guo came to me twice alone, but he asked me some questions related to finance, stocks and futures, and I just explained it to him."

After Li Ye finished speaking, Lao Liu calmly asked, "Why did he ask you this?"

Li Ye said as a matter of course: "Because I majored in economics! They don't understand anything. Since they asked me, it's okay for me to explain it to them, right?"

Old Liu narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "So, you are an expert in this field?"

Li Ye glanced at the other party and was sure that the other party was setting a trap for him, but he still said calmly: "I can't say I'm an expert, but I'm definitely more professional than ordinary people."

Old Liu smiled and said casually, "So Secretary Han trusts you very much and believes that you can make money from stocks and futures, and even making several times the money in a day is not a problem."

Li Ye was stunned for two seconds, then asked coldly: "What do you mean by asking this? I never said that I could make several times the money in a day. It was Mr. Gu who said that. And what does this have to do with Secretary Guo's death?"

The always gentle Old Liu suddenly lost his smile, just like a gentle yellow cow that suddenly shook off its camouflage, revealing its yellow and black golden gradient pattern.

Lao Liu said sternly: "Just tell us what we ask you to say. Don't play tricks on us."

"."

Li Ye was not playing tricks, but was thinking whether the other party wanted to accuse Li Ye of "inducing Secretary Han to buy stocks".

Now that Secretary Han is dead, it goes without saying that Gu Jianqi will push the blame onto Secretary Guo, but why would Secretary Guo trade futures?
It was Li Ye who induced it! Isn't this chain of evidence closed?

[No wonder those who were summoned for tea in later generations were basically unlucky. These people really used both soft and hard tactics, and were cruel and ruthless.]

Li Ye did not blame Lao Liu, because the other party was just playing this game, no matter how he played it, Li Ye should not be surprised.

Li Ye snorted, then said, "Secretary Han and Mr. Gu don't believe me. Every time they come to me for questioning, they only allow me to answer their questions, just like Leader Liu, but never explain to me why I should care about stocks and futures."

"So instead of asking me here, you might as well ask Mr. Gu. They live in the same room, and they are inseparable when they meet their Japanese friends."

Old Liu stared at Li Ye, listened carefully, and then asked, "Why didn't you stop Secretary Guo from accompanying Mr. Gu to meet his Japanese friends? Didn't I emphasize collective discipline to you before they went abroad?"

"Ha~"

Li Ye laughed and said, "A higher-ranking official can crush a person. If Mr. Gu insisted on going out to meet his friends, who could stop him? I saw Liu Muhan trying to stop him, but Mr. Gu used me as an example, saying that if Li Ye could go out on his own, why couldn't he? So Liu Muhan could only register the other party's information."

Old Liu interrupted Li Ye's narration and said, "Okay, okay, just tell me whether you blocked it or not, and there's nothing else to say."

But Sister Zhang next to him suddenly said, "Director Liu, since we are questioning someone, shouldn't we listen to Comrade Li Ye's opinion? We can't let him finish his words halfway, right?"

Li Ye immediately understood that this Sister Zhang was from Liu Muhan's side.

There are three investigators in the room. It is easy to imagine that one represents the foreign trade department and the other is from Gu's unit. Both sides will definitely pull each other and hope to shift the blame to the other side.

Old Liu looked at Sister Zhang, and then continued to question Li Ye, but he only asked the same few questions over and over again. According to Li Ye's inference, they wanted to determine whether Secretary Han's death was related to the sharp drop in the Japanese stock market.

[Why don't you just ask me directly? You're beating around the bush.]

When Lao Liu finished his questions and was about to let Li Ye leave, Li Ye suddenly said, "I have something here. I don't know if you are interested. Last Thursday, Secretary Guo asked me to borrow his phone."

Old Liu looked at Li Ye, nodded and said, "We already understand the situation. You were in Zhao Xiangchu's room at the time, right?"

Li Ye nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Zhao and Xiao Zheng knew about this. Professor Zhao said that they must have made a private call late at night.

If we can determine who they called, maybe we can find more clues!"

Lao Liu wiped his glasses again and asked, "Then can you confirm who they called?"

Li Ye looked at the other party's expression and knew that they had already asked this question to Gu Jianqi and Professor Zhao. He didn't know how Gu Jianqi answered, but he knew with his toes that the other party would not tell the truth.

"I'm not sure, but my mobile phone number is Japanese, so I should be able to check the call records."

Secretary Guo would never have thought that when he borrowed Li Ye's cell phone for Gu Jianqi, the boomerang would come back to him so quickly.

"Ok?"

Old Liu raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
