Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 184 Entering Sight
Sun Yide really didn't know much more than Qi Jilin.

The only difference is that the team that took on the sabotage mission also had only one person, and this person was also one of those who stayed behind that year.

In other words, this person must be not young, at least thirty-five years old and above, and most likely a male.

As for how this person carried out the destruction, if he used explosives, then how he got those things is completely unclear.

The other person, Sun Yide, who was in charge of collecting information, knew even less.

Because his special envoy friend didn't know anything about this person.

It can be said that these two groups that suddenly appeared did a very good job of keeping secrets. If it weren't for a passing mention in the suicide note, they would never have noticed it at all.

According to the information revealed by the special envoy at the time, the team responsible for collecting information has completed many tasks over the years. So what exactly was the task he completed, and why was there no news at all?
This is the most troublesome thing, because you have no idea what others have done, and you can’t check even if you want to.

Li Yancheng and Zeng Honglin were discussing their gains when they walked out of the interrogation room and saw Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong walking into the backyard.

"Is the trial over?"

Seeing them come out, Lao Xu from afar asked loudly.

"It's over. We've gained something, but we have more work to do next."

"We are not afraid of having too much work, because it means we have gained something and have clues. If you have gained nothing, then we should be really upset. Tell us what you have gained."

At Li Yancheng's suggestion, Zeng Honglin reported the results of the interrogation of Qi Jilin and Sun Yide to the two leaders.

Hearing that there are now two so-called groups that have taken on two tasks respectively, Lao Xu twitched his face and rubbed his temples with his hands.

There is no need to say anything like how good the harvest is.

Su Xiaotong on the side had a strange reaction. He stood there blankly without saying a word, just frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing his reaction, Lao Xu gestured with his hand, and Li Yancheng and Zeng Honglin followed him and walked a few steps to the side so as not to disturb Su Xiaotong and let him think slowly.

"Yan Cheng, you interrogated four people today. Except for Liu Guoyi who used that method, the other three were interrogated normally. Do you think what they said is credible?"

As Lao Xu spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave each of them a cigarette without a filter. He probably got it from some leader in the bureau.

"It's quite credible." After lighting a cigarette with the match Zeng Honglin had struck, Li Yancheng nodded and said, "The three of them know very well that they are doomed, but they are still lying to us. Apart from making us suffer more, they won't get any benefit.

On the contrary, because of deceiving us, they will suffer more before they die. Qi Jilin's reaction just now explains everything.

I told the attendant on duty to add a piece of meat when serving him food tomorrow, and to give him a cigarette after the meal. That guy was so excited that his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears.

They can actually face death calmly now, but there is a huge difference between dying comfortably and dying with more suffering."

call……

Old Xu let out a breath, took the interrogation record book from Zeng Honglin, flipped through it with the light from the yard, glanced at it, then raised his head again and spoke.

"While you were still interrogating me, I had already applied to the bureau for access to all the information on Li Xueyi and Hong Dingguo, including those before liberation.

The part before liberation was more troublesome and required waiting for a few more days. Director Zhong arranged for me to meet an old comrade from our unit.

This old comrade had retired from the team due to injury before liberation. After liberation, the bureau arranged a new job for him.

He is currently serving as the head of the Security Section at the Shishan Gaojing Thermal Power Plant. Before liberation, he was a member of the Beijing City Group responsible for post-liberation work.

According to his recollection, between 1946 and 1948, he did carry out a mission to eliminate a man who specialized in doing dirty work there. He forgot the man's code name, but he remembered that the person who carried out the mission was Hong Dingguo.

Because that was the first time the two of them worked together, he remembered that Hong Dingguo acted decisively and efficiently without dragging his feet, and there was very little need for him to clean up the mess, so he was deeply impressed.

But he forgot where this task was assigned from. At that time, their team had three channels to receive tasks. One was from the group specifically responsible for gathering information, the second was from the leadership group of Beijing at that time, and the third was from the leadership group of the region to which Beijing belonged.

However, there is one thing he can be sure of, that is, Hong Dingguo is just an executor. Like their team, he will only go on missions when he receives orders and generally will not act on his own.

The fact that their team was able to cooperate in that mission must have been an order from a certain channel. It's a pity that their team leader has already died, otherwise he would definitely remember it."

Hong Dingguo!
Hearing this name, Li Yancheng sighed in his heart. If something happened to Li Xueyi and Hong Dingguo, it would be really fun.

"I remembered!"

At this moment, Su Xiaotong, who had been thinking about something, suddenly shouted, turned around and ran towards the gate leading to the central courtyard.

His shout attracted the attention of all the sentries standing guard in the backyard, and even the guard in charge of guarding the basement came out of that room.

Seeing this, Lao Xu waved his hand to signal everyone to stay calm and do what they were supposed to do, then he walked towards the gate.

Li Yancheng and Zeng Honglin saw it and hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the Intermediate Court, Su Xiaotong had already entered his office in the Intermediate Court. After a rummaging through the tables and cabinets, he finally found what he was looking for, a notebook.

After finding the notebook, Su Xiaotong hurriedly opened it and read it carefully.

"found it!"

After Lao Xu, Li Yancheng and the other two entered the room, they didn't make any noise to disturb him, but just looked at him quietly. After more than ten minutes, he clapped his notebook and spoke excitedly.

"What did you find?"

"Two years ago, something strange happened to a friend of mine. Maybe the data he was responsible for keeping was secretly filmed."

As he spoke, Su Xiaotong tapped his fingers heavily on the notebook several times.

Hearing him say this, Lao Xu curiously reached out and took the notebook. Li Yancheng and Zeng Honglin also leaned over to take a look.

What was written in the notebook looked like a transcript, and it was written very sloppily. Many of the words were simplified characters that only the recorder could recognize. After taking a quick glance to make sure he couldn't understand it, Lao Xu looked up at Su Xiaotong, waiting for his explanation.

After Lao Xu took the notebook, Su Xiaotong lit a cigarette for himself.

Now seeing that all three of them were looking at him, he explained with a slight smile.

"The specific situation is this. This... let's call it a transcript for now. It was dictated by a friend of mine who works in the heavy industry system, and I wrote it down."

As he spoke, Su Xiaotong helped pull three chairs and asked the three people to sit down. He then continued, "Two years ago, in the 18th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the heavy industry system coordinated with several factories in Northeast China and Shanghai to build a new factory in Sichuan. At that time, my friend was a member of the project team and was responsible for compiling and collecting information from various factories.

I won't go into details about what the new factory does specifically. My friend had been in Sichuan for eight months. On the day he came back, several friends invited him to dinner to welcome him. They pooled their money to buy food and wine, and drank in the house where he lived. He was drunk that night.

When he woke up the next morning, he was the only one at home and found that the safe in the room containing documents seemed to have been tampered with.

After opening the safe, he found the documents he had placed inside intact, with no signs of having been tampered with. Some of the information was confidential, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he called me over, because taking confidential information home is a violation of regulations.

After I went over and heard what he said, I first took a look at the safe. The reason why he found out that the safe seemed to have been tampered with was because there was a problem with the handle on the safe door. Every time after closing the door, he needed to manually move the handle back a little. If someone didn't know, after locking the safe door, they would not push the handle back a little, and it would be difficult to open the safe next time.

He had been using it for a long time and had gotten used to it. Every time he closed the door, he would pull the handle back. But that morning when he opened the door, he found that the handle was not pulled back.

But he drank too much the night before, and he couldn't explain whether he touched the safe after his friends left. I didn't find any other traces when I checked the safe door.

Later, I investigated privately and found nothing wrong with his friends who were drinking at his house that night, so the matter was finally dropped.”

"Xiaotong, do you suspect that the person Qi Jilin and his friends had given you to collect information was among the people who drank with your friends that night?"

"That's right, Director. You don't know that my friend is a very cautious person. He also has a very strange habit. No matter what he has used, when he puts it back after use, he must put it in the same place as when he took it out.

Whether at home or in the office, he would always place everything where he thought it should be, and would not allow things to be placed randomly.

Just like this pen..."

Su Xiaotong raised his finger and pointed at the dip pen inserted in the ink bottle on his desk.

"He even has his own opinion on the direction of the pen. If it is not in the direction he wants, he will reach out to correct it."

"OCD!"

As soon as Su Xiaotong finished speaking, Li Yancheng blurted out a few words.

"What disease?" Lao Xu turned his head and asked curiously.

"Oh, obsessive-compulsive disorder is a kind of recurring and persistent obsessive thoughts or behaviors. Even though you know that these thoughts or behaviors are meaningless, you just can't control them. It's a kind of... uh... you can regard this symptom as a kind of mental illness." "What?"

Su Xiaotong's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Yancheng, you said that's mental illness?"

"It's just a type of mental illness. Not all patients with mental illness are crazy. The inability to control certain behaviors is also considered a mental illness. There's no need to make a fuss about it.

Now is not the time to talk about this. I will tell you what you want to know when I have time. Now let’s talk about business first.”

Li Yancheng waved his hand and changed the subject again.

Be it obsessive-compulsive disorder or mental illness, it cannot be explained in just a few words.

"Deputy Director Su, what you just said means that your friend's judgment should be correct. The safe must have been moved by someone else, but there is no trace to support this judgment, right?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

"Then why do you think that the person who moved the safe was the one who drank that night, so it couldn't be someone from outside who broke in?"

"My friend lives in the dormitory of his unit. The gate of their unit is strictly guarded, so it is unlikely for outsiders to get in.

And the point I want to make is not this, but…”

"clap clap"

Having said that, Su Xiaotong tapped heavily on his notebook with his right hand.

"It's this. There was a man named Song Yongan who was present when we were drinking that night. He was 46 years old the year before last and 48 this year. He works in the Yangchao District Government Office.

"Song Yongan?" This name made Li Yancheng stunned.

"Huh?" Zeng Honglin was also stunned for a moment. He flipped the notebook in his hand forward two pages and looked at it in surprise and said, "Doctor Li, the person you asked me to check for you this afternoon is also called Song Yongan. The conditions are the same. This is the same person, right?"

"That should be correct. I don't believe that there are two people with the same name and age in the Yangchao District Government Office."

As Li Yancheng nodded, the faces of the other three people in the room turned strange. This was too much of a coincidence.

Li Yancheng thought about it for a while and asked curiously, "Xiaotong, how old is your friend?"

"A year or two older than me."

"Then how could he have such a good relationship with a man in his forties? They are not from the same unit."

"According to my notebook, my friend and Song Yongan met through another person. They like to play cards together when they have nothing to do. Since they all have formal jobs, they are not afraid of cheating or talking nonsense outside."

So this is ah!

No matter what, Song Yongan has now officially entered the eyes of several of them.

……

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. There was work to be done and time to rest.

Lao Xu briefly explained the follow-up arrangements and asked everyone to go home. However, as soon as they left the house, he stopped Li Yancheng again.

"Walk with me."

Li Yancheng really wanted to reach out and touch Lao Xu's forehead to see if he had a fever. "Brother, it's already past eleven o'clock. Let me walk with you. If you don't sleep, I want to go home and sleep."

Lao Xu didn't care about his reaction and walked straight towards the gate.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng had no choice but to follow.

"Let's go. I know you still want to go home, so just think of it as me sending you back. Let's talk while we walk."

Hey, there is such a good thing?
"Uh... Director, I'm so sorry, how can I ask you to take me there? If you have something to say, please tell me."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I just want to use the quiet time of the night to think about some issues."

"Hey, then I won't be polite. What's the matter? Just tell me."

Hearing Lao Xu say this, Li Yancheng said nothing more. After walking out of the unit gate, he led him towards his home.

"Starting from April, we will have to wear the same police uniform on a daily basis, except for cases where we need to wear plain clothes. Our organization will also be formally incorporated into the public security system, which is actually similar to the current system, with one name and two teams, so the impact will not be significant.

What I want to say is that the department is planning to set up a new pre-trial section. Xiaotong will temporarily serve as the section chief, and you will be the deputy section chief. What do you think?"

Hey!
This means that Cao Cao is here.

Zeng Honglin had just told him that the bureau was planning to set up a pre-trial department, and everything had been confirmed.

"I obey orders, but what about the work in the infirmary?"

"Able people should do more work."

hiss……

This is a bit of a toothache.

Li Yancheng couldn't help but grin.

"Director, you are a bit..."

"Hahaha... I know what you want to say." Lao Xu interrupted Li Yancheng with a smile.

"But to be honest, I'm not afraid of you getting angry, Yan Cheng. If you don't know that special interrogation method, you will definitely not be able to get the position of deputy chief of the pre-trial department."

"I know that."

"Also, I don't intend to make our pre-trial department the same as the public security department. If the interrogation work is completely separated from the front-line investigation and operations, I don't think that is a good thing.

Yes, we need professional interrogators, but I think an interrogator who is familiar with the trend of the case is much more reliable than someone who sits in the office and determines the interrogation method by looking at the files. "

“So what you mean is that the pre-trial department must be established, the staffing must be occupied first, and the necessary personnel must also be requested from the bureau.

However, everyone in the pre-trial department is actually a part-timer, and they have to participate in front-line investigations and arrests, as well as the final interrogation. You want to train everyone in our department to be all-round talents. "

"That's right, you have a quick reaction." Old Xu patted Li Yancheng's shoulder with a smile.

"But you are not included here, but I can't say you are not included here. It's just the front-line investigation and arrest work. If you want to go, you can go as long as it does not affect other work."

"I am special. Aren't you afraid that other comrades may have objections?"

"Don't worry. If any of them know your special interrogation method, I can give them special treatment."

"Thank you, Director."

"You're welcome. Special talents get special treatment."

"But I don't feel like I'm getting any special treatment. I work overtime so late every day, but I don't get a penny more in salary."

"Hey, you little brat are complaining to me. I want to get more salary. Who can I talk to?"

"You can also find a leader."

"Forget it. I'm worried about getting scolded."

"Then there is no other way. You are my leader, and I will definitely complain to you."

"Okay, complaint received, keep it up."

"Ugh……"
