Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 199 Final Interrogation
The train was supposed to arrive at around 9:00 p.m. on the 2nd, but due to some special reasons on the track, it stayed in Zhengzhou for too long. By the time it reached its final stop, Beijing, it was already 0:30 a.m. on the 3rd.

All the passengers who had boarded the train before Zheng City knew what had happened, and were not surprised by the large number of public security personnel appearing on the platform at this moment.

Only the passengers who got on the bus after Zheng City would look around curiously after seeing these fully armed police officers.

After most people on the platform had left, Li Yancheng and Su Xiaotong, accompanied by train police, showed up at the door of the carriage, escorting the two suspects.

When the action team members who came to the platform to pick up the suspect saw this, except for the one on guard, everyone else came over and took the suspect with his head covered.

When Su Xiaotong and Li Yancheng got off the car, warm applause broke out on the platform under the leadership of Lao Xu.

……

At around 1:00 a.m., after returning to the unit from the station, without taking time to rest, all the middle and senior management of the first-line department, including Deputy Director Wang Hongli who was in charge of the second-line work, gathered in the conference room to discuss the next direction of the investigation of the case.

Li Yancheng is not a middle-level manager, at least not until the appointment document of deputy section chief of the pre-trial section comes down.

It was already this late and he was too lazy to go home. After washing up, he went straight to bed on the bed in the inner room of the clinic.

It was already past four in the morning when I was woken up by the knock on the door.

"Fuck, big brother, what time is it now? Why don't you let me sleep if you don't sleep?"

He walked over in a daze and opened the door. After seeing who was knocking, Li Yancheng really wanted to give him a slap in the face.

Who else could it be but Su Xiaotong.

"Why are you sleeping? Hurry up and get dressed and wash your face. The security department will send Wu Lihua over soon."

Wu Lihua?
Li Yancheng's head was like a paste at the moment. He didn't react at all when he heard the name. He kept wondering who this person was. Why did the name sound like a female?

As far as I can remember, there were not many women involved in the case.

Seeing his confused look, Su Xiaotong knew that he was still not awake, so he could only explain: "Li Xueyi's wife."

Now Li Yancheng finally came to his senses, but isn't it a bit too much to send him here at this time?

"Send it now?"

"The bureau only gave her 72 hours to interrogate her, starting at noon on the 1st, and half of that time has already passed."

I... Damn it!
Li Yancheng, who had just woken up, was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.

What is this? Why are the time-limited measures being used?
But it was no use thinking about it now, so he turned around and walked towards the inner room.

"It'll be ready soon."

"When you're done, go straight to the backyard."

"Know it"

In the backyard, Lao Xu was also waiting at the door of the interrogation room. When he saw Li Yancheng coming, he took two steps forward to greet him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yancheng."

"Oh, it's not that hard. Director, aren't you here too? It's better to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know when I can sleep soundly."

"Yeah," Lao Xu nodded with some emotion and said, "The case has come to this point today. If it is delayed any further, there will only be more problems."

"By the way, Director, how do we deal with the place where Song Yongan told us to contact and leave a message with the sabotage team?"

"I asked him to rewrite a message and sent someone to release it. Let's see if the sabotage group will take the bait. However..."

Old Xu pouted and shook his head: "I don't think it's likely that they will take the bait. Song Yongan just left a message saying that the mission failed and he would retreat, so they can proceed to the next step in advance.

Then he said he was fine. No one in the group would believe him unless they were fools. Besides, I don’t think anyone else would care whether he was fine or not.”

As he spoke, Lao Xu took out a cigarette and handed it over.

After taking the cigarette handed out by the leader and lighting it, Su Xiaotong also came over from the central courtyard with a large teacup in his hand. When he came over, Li Yancheng took a look and saw that there was half a cup of tea leaves and the water was almost turning black.

"There's no other way. I can only rely on this to refresh myself." Seeing him looking at me, Su Xiaotong said with a wry smile.

They set out for Qin Province on the night of the 30th. They did not get a good rest on the train that night, and they did not sleep all night in Qin Province on the night of the 31st. They ran around all day on the 1st, and came back by train at night, but still did not get a good rest. They caught the two at Zhengzhou Railway Station on the morning of the 2nd, and their rest during the day was wasted.

It is already four o'clock in the morning on the 3rd. Su Xiaotong has not had a good rest for four or five days. His condition is more serious. He is still holding on thanks to his last breath.

Not only the two of them, but all the comrades on the front line were overdrawing their energy and struggling to hold on, and each of them had dark circles under their eyes.

This is also why Lao Xu said that if we delay any further, there will only be more problems.

Now everyone is full of fighting spirit. If we lose our temper, it will take at least a week or ten days to recover.

Even with Mr. Wang's support, no one else would agree to give them so much time to adjust.

At 4:40 in the morning, the car from the Security Department to take Wu Lihua finally arrived. It was delivered personally by the Director of the Security Department, Tang Aijun.

Without any delay, the person was immediately sent to the small meeting room in the backyard as soon as she arrived. This was also a special care for her.

During the first inquiry, Li Yancheng did not go in. He just stood outside the window and observed.

According to the records in the archives, Wu Lihua was born in 1929 and is now 40 years old. She has a petite figure, is only 1.58 meters tall, is thin, and has fair skin.

This type of woman doesn't seem to look her age, she doesn't look like she's forty at all.

She was woken up in the middle of the night and sent here, so she must not have gotten enough rest. She sat on the chair and looked at the three people questioning her. She knew Su Xiaotong and Tang Aijun, but she was not familiar with Lao Xu. She only knew that he was her husband's successor.

Her big eyes showed the confusion and panic of being suddenly sent here for questioning, as well as the sadness of having just lost her husband. She looked so pitiful and touching that people could not help but sympathize with her.

Li Yancheng, who was standing outside the window and observing Wu Lihua, narrowed his eyes and was shocked.

This woman is really good at taking advantage of herself.

"What did you see?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Li Yancheng. He turned around and saw that it was Deputy Director Zhong who had come over at some point.

"Clock Bureau"

"Well, Comrade Yan Cheng, what did you see?"

"You mean Wu Lihua?"

"right"

"She is very good at using her own advantages to fully demonstrate her identity as a widow in her every move, making people feel pity for her involuntarily.

In addition, we don't have any hard evidence in our hands, she is an employee of the bureau, and Li Xueyi has been working on the front line for many years. These are enough to arouse sympathy for her among many people who don't know the reason.

Director Zhong, I can only say that the higher-ups were right to give her three days. If we still can't get her confession within three days, then continuing the trial will be meaningless and will only cause confusion and suspicion among the comrades working on the front lines in the bureau and elsewhere."

Wu Lihua is a staff member of the Logistics Department of the Social Affairs Bureau, but she does not have the status of a cadre. Instead, she is doing her job on the job. She has worked for so many years, and her husband was promoted from a middle-level position. How could she not have a few good friends in the bureau?

Many people were dissatisfied with the fact that Wu Lihua was placed under isolation and investigation without any real evidence.

Little did she know that doing so was actually a form of protection for her and her child.

Sometimes, evidence is not necessary for certain things.

To be honest, if she and her child had not been isolated, it is not certain that she and her child would still be alive now.

At that time, someone suggested putting her outside for fishing.

"Clap"

Director Zhong patted Li Yancheng on the shoulder with satisfaction: "It's good that you can see this. Guishan is right. You have a big picture view. Comrade Yancheng, can I ask you for a favor?"

???

Deputy Director Zhong's last words startled Li Yancheng. He nodded hastily and said, "Director Zhong, what you said is true. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

"No, this time is different from the past. I am asking you in a private capacity."

"Uh...you say."

Li Yancheng was even more confused. How come even his private identity showed up?

He didn't know that Deputy Director Zhong had promised in front of Mr. Wang that he would never get involved in the interrogation of Wu Lihua.

It was for this reason that he chose to come here before dawn.

"Comrade Yancheng, please pry open Wu Lihua's mouth. Guishan is not good at interrogation. Although Xiaotong and Aijun are veterans, they also have concerns.

Don't think that Xiaotong seems to be ruthless and impartial, but he also has a weakness, which is that he is helpless against women.

In the past, he never had particularly impressive results when facing female suspects. This has something to do with his personality, especially since Wu Lihua was once one of his own. Don't listen to his exaggerated words, because when he really faces her, he will definitely be at a loss. "

Li Yancheng widened his eyes in disbelief.

After thinking about it carefully, I felt that Director Zhong was right. Su Xiaotong's weakness seemed to be women.

It's not that he has no sympathy and thinks women won't commit crimes, but... it's a weakness in his character.

He is simply not good at dealing with the opposite sex, no matter if the opposite sex is a suspect or an ordinary citizen.

"Director Zhong, make sure the mission is completed."

He didn't know why his leader thought he could pry open Wu Lihua's mouth when special interrogation methods were not allowed, but since his leader said so and asked him in a private capacity, he could only do his best.

Deputy Director Zhong nodded, raised his hand and patted Li Yancheng on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards the gate to the central court.

His coming here was against the rules in the first place, so he should leave quickly before others know about it.

Li Yancheng did not go to see him off. He stood there and watched Deputy Director Zhong disappear at the gate. He then lit a cigarette for himself, puffed it quickly and walked towards the meeting room. It was time to end this case.

……

The questioning in the conference room has been going on for half an hour. It cannot be said that there has been no progress, because Wu Lihua answered all the questions, but the answers she gave were either "I don't know" or "I'm not sure", or "Xueyi never told me about his time together".

It seems to be cooperation, but in fact it is passive resistance.

Since they couldn't resort to any other means, Lao Xu and the other two really had no other options.

Even the methods used to deal with other people cannot be used on her.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open. Several people in the room turned their heads and saw that it was Li Yancheng who came in. A hint of doubt flashed across the faces of Lao Xu, Su Xiaotong, and Tang Aijun.

Because according to the previous agreement, he would not participate until the second interrogation. How could this...

After Wu Lihua saw clearly who came in, there was no change in the expression on her face. She still looked pitiful. After taking a glance, she lowered her eyes again.

After Li Yancheng came in, he first nodded to Lao Xu and the other three, then walked over, picked up Su Xiaotong's big teacup and took a sip. It was so bitter that he almost vomited it out and his face twitched, but it was indeed refreshing.

Putting down the mug, he picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it. Without saying a word to anyone, he walked over and squatted in front of Wu Lihua, staring at her with narrowed eyes.

This move of his made several people unable to do anything. Lao Xu and the other three looked at each other, with confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

Of course the one who felt the most uncomfortable was Wu Lihua. She was stared at motionlessly by a strange man less than a meter away from her. No one could stand it. Even if they were playing a game, they would have laughed.

Less than a minute later, she twisted her body a few times in great anxiety and asked weakly, "Comrade, why are you looking at me like this? If you have anything to ask, just ask. I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

"When did you and Li Xueyi meet?" Li Yancheng asked slowly after exhaling the cigarette in his mouth.

He asked, but his actions did not change. He still squatted there, his eyes still fixed on Wu Lihua, making the woman not know where to look, and her hands were clenched together helplessly.

She did not answer Li Yancheng's question. Seeing that he still maintained the same posture after asking the question, she turned her gaze towards the three people for help.

Seeing her looking at him, Tang Aijun frowned and opened his mouth to say something when Lao Xu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his arm.

"Director Tang, come with me to have a cigarette and exercise." As he said that, he stood up and pulled Tang Aijun up without saying a word.

Lao Xu's action directly blocked Tang Aijun's words before he could even finish them.

He turned around and found Lao Xu looking at him with an unquestionable look. His lips moved, but in the end he said nothing and could only follow him towards the door of the conference room.

But before leaving, he turned around and glanced at his men standing in several corners of the conference room, signaling them to be careful and not let those two guys do anything wrong.

The people in the Security Department watched helplessly as their boss was dragged out by the boss of another department, which was like a traitor.

But the second brother of the other party is still here, not to mention that this is their territory. Even if they want to do something a little excessive, they can only have opinions and can do nothing about it.

There was such a big commotion behind him, but Li Yancheng squatted there without looking back, just staring at Wu Lihua. When he heard the door of the conference room open and close, he smiled and said, "Okay, Wu Lihua, Director Tang has left, you can answer my questions now, right? You answer my questions earlier, and I will leave earlier.

You are freed and my mission is completed, isn't that the best of both worlds? If you plan to just waste time with me, then I can only accompany you to the end. Do you think you can outlast me? This is my job. What's more, I have other ways to make you cooperate actively. "

Having said that, Li Yancheng didn't care about Wu Lihua's reaction. He flipped his left hand, which was resting on his knees, and several long needles appeared in his hand.

Su Xiaotong was no longer surprised by his ability to take out long needles anytime and anywhere, but those in the security department were stunned.

Li Yancheng didn't care about their reactions, what he wanted was Wu Lihua's reaction.

Fortunately, although this woman controlled her facial expression very well and there was no change at all, her rapidly shrinking pupils told it all.

She knew what those needles meant.

Li Yancheng heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, supporting his knees.

"Wu Lihua, I'll give you one last chance. Will you take the initiative to answer everything I want to know, or should I get it in my own way?

You don't have to pretend that you are unfamiliar with me, nor do you have to act pitiful in front of me. I know you must be very familiar with my file.

Ever since Chen Yunwei almost got me demoted, I have lost interest in all women, so..."

As he spoke, Li Yancheng had already walked to Wu Lihua's side, his eyes fixed on the top of her head.

"What...what are you going to do?"

“Ask despite knowing the answer”

"Before you came out, Director Guan told you not to let the first unit do anything other than interrogate me. Don't you care?"

After hearing her words, the people from the Security Department glanced at Su Xiaotong who was sitting there, and then lowered their heads at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lihua's eyes widened. Only then did she realize why Director Xu had dragged Tang Aijun out forcibly. It turned out that it was not as simple as not letting him speak.

Now she can only rely on herself. She turned her head and looked at Li Yancheng: "Do you dare to disobey the director's order?"

“I’m sorry, I haven’t received any orders from any leaders. Deputy Director Su and I just came back from a business trip when we were pulled here to interrogate you. I haven’t been here for a few days, so I don’t know what the orders are.

As for what others have told you, I'm sorry, we have the power to make decisions on the spot. No more nonsense, Wu Lihua, I'm sorry, if you are really innocent, I will come to your house and apologize later."

After saying that, Li Yancheng took a needle from the ones in his left hand with his right hand, and at the same time, he pressed his left hand on her shoulder: "You'd better not move your head, it won't hurt. If you move, I'll have to fix you up first."

"Wait...wait...let me answer your question."

Wu Lihua, whose shoulders were being pressed, couldn't break free at all. Seeing that the needle was about to fall into her head, she could only shake her head desperately and shout loudly.
