Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 242 The truth?

During the week since his arrest, Cao Wanquan has been interrogated for up to 17 or 18 hours every day.

It can be said that except for the five or six hours when he was sleeping and eating, as long as he opened his eyes, someone would come and question him non-stop.

If it were an ordinary person, his mental state at this moment might be on the verge of collapse, and the whole person would be listless.

But Cao Wanquan didn't. Apart from looking a little tired, his overall mental state was pretty good.

Hearing the sound of the door, Cao Wanquan, who had been sitting there with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. Seeing Section Chief Tian coming in again, he sighed silently in his heart.

I don’t know how long this kind of life will last. For him, these days are really too hard to bear.

Because he had a new goal, Tian Linjun went straight to the point when he came in this time.

"Cao Wanquan, you said before that Wei Haiping was introduced to you by your superior?"

"That's right"

"Wei Haiping introduced you to Shi Huaian and Yin Anda, and then you were responsible for using various means to coerce and bribe them to work for you, right?"

"Yes"

"Then didn't Yin Anda already give you the summary of their team's information? Where is it now?"

"Chief Tian, ​​didn't I tell you that after I got the film, I put it in the place we agreed on in advance? I don't know who took it away."

"Did you handle all the films that the three of them gave you before in this way?"

"Yes"

"That means you don't have to develop those photos."

"I don't have a darkroom or the things I need, so there's no way I can develop the film." Cao Wanquan curled his lips.

He had been asked these questions almost eight hundred times, and he felt like he was about to collapse.

Photo studios are not responsible for developing photos. After each roll of film is taken, it will be sent to the printing factory, which will develop the photos according to the requirements and then send the photos and negatives to the photo studio.

The customer then comes to pick up the photos and negatives at the agreed time, and this is the process of a photo shoot.

Therefore, photo studios do not have darkrooms or developing equipment.

But the things that Cao Wanquan and his team developed were different. They couldn't have their pocket films and the content they shot be developed by others. Either they had their own people in the printing factory, or they had their own darkroom and equipment.

I have asked before about how the film was developed, and Cao Wanquan’s answer was that he didn’t know. He just put the film in the designated location and left it there.

There are currently five factories in Beijing that can develop film, and they have already started to have dedicated personnel responsible for secret investigations.

At the same time, the public security department also helped, asking each police station to check whether there were darkrooms within its jurisdiction.

If I continue to ask this question now, I believe the answer will not change.

Cao Wanquan thought so too, and he was ready to answer this question.

But who knew that the next question would severely hurt his waist.

"Since you don't need to develop those films, why are the developed negatives here with you? Cao Wanquan, don't tell me that you are responsible for handing them over to the person behind you.

In fact, you had no intention of handing it over to others. Instead, you casually dropped it at the train station and let a greedy guy take care of it.

You don't care about those bases at all, or the people behind you don't care about those bases either.

If you don't care, why go to so much trouble to get the information out?

Develop them into photos and hand them over to the organization behind you? Haha, you won't believe this yourself, so don't say it out loud and make a fool of yourself. "

Develop them into photos and take them away?
Don't be ridiculous. There are two or three hundred negatives. It would be a lot of work to develop them all into photos. It's obviously not as convenient as carrying negatives. No one can do that.

Cao Wanquan licked his lips in panic and was about to say something when Tian Linjun raised his hand and patted his shoulder.

"You have been lurking for more than 20 years, and you have completed three missions in these years. You are really very capable. Even if you don't have any credit, you have worked hard.

This time, you were pushed out as bait by the people behind you to distract our attention. Cao Wanquan, do you really not know that you are just a bait, or did you take the initiative to ask to join the game?
Tsk tsk, if you asked for this on your own initiative, then I really admire you, you are so great. "

Bait?!
This word deeply stimulated Cao Wanquan's heart.

He looked at Tian Linjun standing in front of him, opened his mouth to say something, but after moving his mouth for a long time, no word came out.

Tian Linjun, who had been staring at his eyes, noticed that a hint of confusion flashed across Cao Wanquan's eyes.

He didn't give the old man time to think carefully before continuing.

"The day you were captured, you refused to cooperate with us and deliberately delayed time. You wanted to give the people behind you enough time, right?
But the time you left is not for him to evacuate, but for him to root out the evil. Am I right this time?"

"I...I don't...I don't understand...I don't understand what you are saying."

Cao Wanquan finally spoke, and his trembling lips revealed his panic.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Tian Linjun smiled and shook his head, then reached out and patted Cao Wanquan on the shoulder.

"You are really amazing, and the guy behind you is even more amazing. We caught you and you still made us run around in circles."

"Chief Tian, ​​what are you talking about? I really don't understand."

"Cao Wanquan, don't you understand what I just said about you being the bait?"

"What bait?"

"You really don't know the whole plan of the person behind you, do you? It's been three years, and you still haven't figured it out?"

The confusion on Cao Wanquan's face became even more serious.

Seeing him like this, Tian Linjun sighed, took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

"Cao Wanquan, to be honest, I just figured it out."

"What do you want to understand, Chief Tian?"

"Let me ask you, do you know how much information about that key project you are planning to steal?"

"I don't know." Cao Wanquan shook his head, his eyes full of confusion. He couldn't understand why Tian Linjun shifted the topic to the information again.

"Then listen carefully. I will tell you now that the key project is divided into more than a dozen sub-projects.

Even if Wei Haiping, Shi Huaian and Yin Anda secretly filmed all the information they had access to and gave it to you, it would only account for a quarter of the entire project.

Tell me, what's the point of having this little information? The three of them have no access to any information from other groups."

"Uh... then... then is it... is it..."

"Don't rush to explain anything." Tian Linjun waved his hand to interrupt Cao Wanquan's words: "Are you now finding an excuse for yourself that you are very important, not some bait?"

"Looking at you, it seems like you were also the one who was deceived? I really feel sorry for you. I have been through life and death for them for so many years, and now you are abandoned just like that.

When we first met, I asked you if they told you that this was your last mission, and that you could retire as long as you completed it, and they would send you abroad to reunite with your wife and children.

If you are unfortunately caught, as long as you can survive a certain number of days, your mission will be considered accomplished, and the final bonus will be handed over to your son in full?
To be honest, I now doubt whether your son is still alive. Even if he is, have the bonuses you earned from completing the tasks in the past reached your son?

You should know your superiors better than us about their moral character. To say that they pluck feathers from passing geese may be an understatement. They should leave some feathers for the people below them."

After listening to Tian Linjun's words, Cao Wanquan lowered his head in silence.

After a few seconds, he raised his head again, his face calm again, and he shook his head slowly: "Chief Tian, ​​it's too late to say anything now, you can't find that person. I am a bait or an abandoned pawn, this is the path I chose, I accept it.

From now on, I will not answer any of your questions. In fact, I have already explained everything I should explain. I don’t know the rest. Bait... hehe..."

Tian Linjun narrowed his eyes. He could feel that this old guy really didn't know anything. But why could he recover so quickly when he knew that he was tricked by the people behind him?

Unless the thought in his heart has not been shattered.

What was he thinking about? His son!
In other words, he was very sure that his son was still alive and that his bonus had definitely gone into his son's hands.

How did he know?
People like him would never believe in handwritten letters or photos. So there is only one possibility, that he has seen his son, and he sees him often.

Because only in this way can he continue to persevere.

Before, they always thought that the old man's family should have been transferred to Dongdao or other countries. In any case, they were under control. Now it seems that control is correct, but the location is questionable.

"Is your son in Beijing?" Tian Linjun's voice was not loud when he said this, in fact it was even smaller than before, but it sounded like spring thunder exploding in Cao Wanquan's ears, causing his expression, which had just calmed down, to change again.

Unlike before, this time he looked pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans began to appear on his forehead.

He looked at Tian Linjun with horror.

Well, the expression on his face now says it all, and it seems that he is close to the truth.

"Your son is under their control. Do you know where your son is in Jing City?"

"I don't know, I really don't know anything, I've told you everything I know.

Chief Tian, ​​now that it has come to this, I will not hide it from you. I did see my son in Beijing. I never thought that they did not even take my son abroad. "

"What makes you think that's your son?"

“They showed me pictures of him from childhood to adulthood.”

"Where is the photo?"

“They didn’t leave any for me.”

"So, they have always been using your son to force you to do this or that, right?"

"That's right"

"Did they tell you this time that they would let you go as long as this mission is completed?"

"Yes," Cao Wanquan nodded and shook his head with a wry smile: "In fact, I know very well that once I embark on this path, I want to quit? Haha... But I have no choice! My child is my only spiritual support."

"where's your wife?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen them. They said they were living well. The letter my son brought to me also said everything was fine, but I didn't believe it."

Ugh……

……

On the other side, after saying goodbye to Tian Linjun, Li Yancheng still did not go into the basement. He stood there thinking for a while, then turned and walked towards the central courtyard.

In the office of the Investigation Department of the Intermediate People's Court, several comrades who stayed behind were busy with their own work. When they heard the office door being pushed open, they all turned to look over.

"Chief Li"

"Chief Li"

After seeing who came in, several people in the office stood up.

"Sit down, everyone. Why are you being so polite? I came here to ask if we have any information about Wei Haiping, the person who committed suicide by jumping off a building in the project team?"

"Yes." An investigator bent down and rummaged through the pile of documents on his desk. He took out a copy and handed it over.

"Thank you, you guys go about your business, I'll just take a look."

Li Yancheng took the information, nodded to others, walked to an empty desk, pulled out a chair and sat down.

After he sat down and started looking through the information, the other people looked at each other, sat down as well, and started to get busy with their own things, but everyone spoke a little more quietly than before.

Wei Haiping's information is actually quite simple. He was born in 1930 and is 39 years old this year. He was one of the first batch of college students after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After graduation, he was assigned to work in a bearing factory as a technician.

In the ninth year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, an instrument factory was established in the scientific research institute and he was transferred there to continue working as a technician. Four years ago, a key project team was established and he joined the project team ever since.

There are not many people in his family. His family is a single-child family, which is rare in this era. They have only one daughter, who is fourteen years old this year, the same age as Ningning.

His wife used to work in the bearing factory, and was transferred here with him. She is now a cashier in the Finance Department of the Instrument Factory.

Now, based on the confessions, it has been basically confirmed that Wei Haiping is one of the traitors. His wife and daughter, as well as his parents and his younger brother's family, are currently being isolated for investigation.

He also has an older sister who is five years older than him, named Elaine Chao. The two siblings have different surnames because they have the same mother but different fathers.

This time, Wei Haiping's incident did not affect this sister's family.

Chao Xiaolan and her husband were married before the liberation, and the family has been living in Yishun County ever since. She has not had any contact with her parents' home for many years.

After the investigators learned some information from the side, they did not disturb the family. Zhao Xiaolan may not know what happened to her older brother yet.

The file only contains some simple information about Elaine Chao, showing that she married her husband in 1948 when she was 23 years old. She had her eldest daughter in 1949 and her son in 1951. Her son joined the army last year.

My daughter is a teacher at a primary school in Yishun. She is dating someone who is also a teacher at the same school and they are preparing to get married.

Elaine Chao's husband works in the Yishun County Government, and she works in the Yishun County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

This family is definitely a winner in life in this era, and their family situation seems to be even better than that of the Wei family.

Looking at the information, there is really no reason why Wei Haiping would be willing to serve Cao Wanquan's organization.

His family and work seem to be very harmonious, unlike the other two people.

There were family reasons behind Yin Anda being dragged into this situation.

As for Shi Huaian, it was purely for personal reasons. This guy was good at playing cards, so Cao Wanquan took the opportunity to drag him into the water.

But Wei Haiping is really hard to understand.

My wife is virtuous, my daughter is lovely, my parents are both working, and my brother and sister-in-law also have their own jobs. Given these conditions, it is impossible for my family to be short of money in this era.

He himself does not have a bad reputation outside, and almost no one in the factory spreads any gossip about him. Everyone says that he is an honest and decent person.

After this happened, no one quite believed it.

But such a person did something so shocking. Could it be that he felt his life was too dull and wanted to pursue excitement?

After closing the documents in his hand, Li Yancheng thought so.

He didn't know if there were such people now, but he had met them in his previous life.

My life is rich, but my spiritual world is too empty, so I like to pursue excitement. Others pursue excitement by doing some extreme challenges, such as climbing Mount Everest, skydiving, and even wing suit flying. Isn't that exciting enough?

But the excitement that guy was looking for was to steal other people's things. He didn't use the stolen things no matter whether they were useful or not. He just made a special room for them and threw them there. He just enjoyed the process.

As expected, he was arrested later. Chunchun is just mentally ill.

Li Yancheng wondered, could it be that Wei Haiping was also this kind of person? Was his dull life boring and he was looking for some excitement?

I can’t understand!
With more and more questions in his head, he returned to the basement.

……

He was no longer in the mood to chat with this woman. He just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible and devote himself to the case.

"I'm going to ask you one last time, do you want to cooperate?"

After coming in, Li Yancheng walked directly to the fence and asked Chen Yunwei who was about to come over.

"What do you mean, I didn't cooperate with you today?"

"You know very well whether you are compatible or not."

"I have already started telling you what you want to know. Isn't this considered cooperation?" A half-smile appeared on Chen Yunwei's face.

"I didn't tell them a word a few days ago. After all, we are husband and wife. If you have made a contribution, I will let you become the emperor. This is my little compensation to you."

"Since you said you want me to do something meritorious, then take the initiative to tell me everything you know."

Li Yancheng said as he hit the snake with the stick.

"I want to see you a few more times. If I say this once, you won't come to see me anymore, right?" Chen Yunwei said very proudly.

I rub!

Zhang Hongbing, who was taking notes at the back, almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Li Yancheng also rolled his eyes helplessly.

Seeing that she had already sat down by the fence, he pulled up his trouser legs and squatted down.
