The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Revisiting old places.

The dim confinement room was filled with a pungent smell of mold and dampness that made people want to vomit.

The white plaster on the wall had long since fallen off, revealing dark brown cement walls that looked like hideous ghost faces.

On the wall, a worn-out light bulb emitted a dim and weak light, casting strange shadows in this small space, as if something would jump out of the darkness at any time.

Cui Dake was not asleep. His eyes were wide open and his head drooped with lifeless eyes. His eyes had already adapted to the light.

Looking at the small window locked with iron bars, a glimmer of hope surged in his heart, but it was immediately swallowed up by despair. The people in the house were even more hopeless than he had imagined.

"I confessed. I really only told those people. I wouldn't tell these to ordinary people. I am also a cadre. I also know to be careful and not to leak out the key information~!"

Cui Dake's body couldn't stop shaking slightly, and his heart was filled with fear. The scene of that day's dinner kept appearing in his mind. Every word he said seemed to be an attempt to free himself and clear himself.

However, several men in black just stared at him with terrifying eyes, which made Cui Dake even more flustered.

"What's your purpose in saying this? Your lover is an employee of the Red Star Factory. I should have told you about keeping this confidential, right?"

Although it was just an inquiry, there was a certainty in his words. Although he knew that there was another line following Qin Huairu, the interrogation of Cui Dake was treated as if he had leaked information.

"I, I have no purpose, but my wife, she, has a purpose. She hates their factory director Li Feng, so she used the 5,000 yuan to build a school~!"

Cui Dake, who was forced into a corner, tried his best to maneuver in the limited space and distance himself from the matter.

When it became really difficult to get rid of the relationship, he would decisively sell out his lover Qin Huairu. It can be said that the two of them were from the same family and they sold out each other without any psychological burden.

"Tell me more carefully. You are also a cadre and you know what our department does. You don't need me to repeat it to you. Tell me everything you know. It will be good for you~!"

"I swear, I can swear in front of the statue, what I said is absolutely true, it has nothing to do with me. My wife didn't tell me these things, so how could I know? She told me that she hoped that I, as a cadre, could find someone to report these problems~!"

"I didn't find out about Ouyang Yi and Jiang Defu's family affairs by asking around. I only found out about Ran Qilin after my wife went to their home. Oh, it turns out that he had returned from abroad~!"

"She told me that Li Feng used cadres like this, either from abroad or from poor families. Shouldn't they be unable to work in her factory? I said yes, these people should not be able to work in her factory. She asked me if I could report them!"

Cui Dake raised three fingers and looked like he was swearing something. He kept on talking and throwing all the problems onto Qin Huairu.

Of course, they did not forget to exaggerate. Anyway, all these discussions were basically held in the house in Nanluoguxiang, with only two people discussing it. Now that they have caused a big disaster by reporting Li Feng, Qin Huairu has to bear the consequences.

Cui Da didn't even blink when he was lying. As a broker, he knew the reputation of the Investigation Department. At this time, he could only feel sorry for Qin Huairu. Anyway, she didn't give him a son.

"Oh, she said that if I could bring down Li Feng, she would give me a child. Tell me, is there a wife like that? I was really blind to choose her. If she hadn't been behind the scenes, I wouldn't have been so impulsive as to report all these things to Secretary Bao~!"

After saying this in a wronged tone, Cui Dake blinked his eyes and looked at the people in front of him. He was really scared now. How could he jump when Li Feng called these people here? Even Secretary Bao had to explain the situation honestly when facing these men in Zhongshan suits.

"Comrade, be reasonable. If I find a problem, as a cadre, shouldn't I reflect it? We are the proletariat, and they have returned from abroad, and they have these elements...!"

"I asked you to explain the details of the case. We all know about the things you said, even earlier than you did. The Red Star Factory has already reported the relevant situation. Do we still have to report to you when we do things?"

The interrogator directly interrupted Cui Dake's complaint. Ouyang Yi had been isolated and investigated for several months. The bulletproof vests provided by the institute had already been equipped to the troops. Was it Cui Dake's turn to point fingers at these people?
"No, no, no need. It's not that I don't understand. My lover doesn't understand either~!"

Cui Dake nodded awkwardly, and did not forget to give Qin Huairu a final push so as not to really put her down completely.

"Oh, not knowing is not an excuse. You have multiple channels to report problems. Your wife can report the problem to the factory and the superior department. You can also report the problem to the factory and the superior department instead of reporting to people in other units. Do you understand the situation of others~!"

The interrogator knocked on the table and looked at Cui Dake as if he were a clown.

"I... I don't dare. Li Feng has become the factory director at such a young age. Who knows who is above him? He knows our factory director Liu. What if Li Feng finds out and retaliates against me?"

Being forced into a desperate situation, Cui Dake rarely spoke the truth. Why didn't he dare to confront Li Feng head-on? Wasn't it because he was afraid of these things? It just so happened that Secretary Bao had a bad impression of Li Feng, so...

"You can't interfere in the affairs of a confidential unit. Okay, we're not here to argue with you. I can reveal a little bit to you, because your self-righteousness involves six lives, four of which are spies, and two are comrades from other units~!" Cui Dake straightened up in an instant, and finally understood why these people treated him like this.

"I advise you to think carefully. There were only those few people at the dinner party. Any one of them you missed might be related to this case~!"

"That's all. Those were the only people at the dinner. Secretary Bao asked the others to leave. I didn't want too many people to know. I was the one who reported it. I told Secretary Bao after the others left~!"

"He is the district leader. I only dared to tell him about Li Feng's approach because of the Red Star Factory family housing issue. Otherwise, what would I say to him~!"

Six lives, four spies, two comrades. Cui Dake didn't want to be involved in any of them. He almost cried while explaining.

"Zhengzhi broker, I've only heard of him in the old society, but I didn't expect that there would be such a person as you in reality today. Cui Dake, you disclosed confidential information without authorization, which caused consequences that you cannot afford. We will investigate all the people involved. You'd better pray that there are no hidden spies among them~!"

"Sign and come with us~!"

Holding the pen in his hand, Cui Dake's eyes were filled with more than just despair. The pen trembled with his palm and black ink splashed onto the table. He was so frightened that he couldn't even sign his own name.

If he had not made it from the countryside to the city and had not developed his psychological endurance, he would probably have wet his pants by now.

The incident involved was more complicated than he had imagined. How could an ordinary person come into contact with a spy? That was something he could only see in movies. When he knew he was involved, his heart beat as if it was going to burst through his chest.

Cui Dake, who looked as if all the bones had been pulled out of his body and was as soft and rotten as a piece of mud, behaved even worse than Qin Huairu when he was taken into the car.

Precisely because he is a cadre and has more channels for obtaining information, he knows how serious the consequences he is facing are.

Compared with Qin Huairu's ignorance, Cui Dake knew that no matter there were spies inside or not, his political career would come to an end tonight.

The best case scenario is returning to Nantai Commune, and the worst case scenario will be the same as in the movie.

That night, not only Cui Dake was taken away from the factory's confinement room, but also those who were involved in the dinner that day, including, of course, the important figure, Secretary Bao.

The investigation was so thorough that even those people who left the dinner early were not spared.

Compared to being taken to the investigation department, these people were only visited for routine questioning because their involvement was not in-depth.

Manager Zhuang was among those who left early.

Manager Zhuang cooperated very well and sent away the uninvited investigators. Then, after closing the door, his face turned ashen and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.

"A bunch of trash~!"

He knew something was wrong. The fact that they traced him back proved that the hounds in his eyes had already smelled something.

They cursed in their hearts, not knowing whether they were cursing the operatives selected by their superiors or the hounds just now. The real culprit was sitting in front of them, and they didn't know.

But why he was not handcuffed and taken away, Manager Zhuang was puzzled. Was it to lure out the person behind him, or was there some other situation?

Unless, Qin Huairu did not reveal anything about him~!

Looking up suddenly, Manager Zhuang discovered that he might not have been exposed. The performance of those operatives just now seemed as if they were unaware of his existence.

It seemed like he started the investigation from Cui Dake, and then he figured out who was at the dinner, who left early, who stayed, and what was said at the dinner.

Manager Zhuang, who was pacing in the room like an ant on a hot pan, also felt the shackles of death slowly tightening around his neck.

This time they just went to the door to ask, but next time, they might just break into the house.

"Qin Huairu, you must die~!" (End of this chapter)
