Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 274: Joy and Sorrow

Professor Zhang's words made Li Yancheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

To be honest, if any department is willing to take over this case now, they will definitely give it up.

Afraid that others will take the credit?

Haha, even if the case is finally solved, it’s good enough that they don’t have to bear any punishment. They even want credit for it. What are they thinking?

"Professor Zhang, to be honest, we are all hoping that some department will come out and say they will take over this case. I am not bragging, but at this point, no matter who we give the case to, they will not be able to solve it.

If we follow the regular process, we will hand over all the clues we have to the security department of our troops for investigation. Apart from bringing Xue Baolai in for questioning, they will not be able to get any more answers without taking any necessary measures.

And according to my estimation, even if we resort to all means, there is a high possibility that we will gain nothing, and the case will end up in nothing.

Professor Zhang, if this case is finally shelved, do you think Xue Baolai can be cleared of all charges even if he is innocent? "

Professor Zhang was slightly stunned by the last question. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Li Yancheng had already continued.

"Professor, there is no way he can be cleared of all charges. He will never be given a high-ranking position again, and he will never work in any classified unit again.

You have been working in this kind of unit since liberation, and you should know very well that there is only one way to deal with people who are suspicious, and that is to abandon them. "

Professor Zhang was of course aware of this, and he did not dwell on the issue, but asked with a half-smile: "Why do you say that this case cannot be solved by others, and only you can solve it.

Why is it that people from other units cannot tell the truth, but you can, when they are all taken away for interrogation?
Are you going to use more ruthless means?"

"No, no, no, Professor Zhang, you misunderstood. The method I just mentioned is not the method you understand.

I can assure you that when Xue Baolai is questioned, we can let you be there to see it with your own eyes."

This was the result they discussed before coming to see the old professor. If he still disagrees after all this, then there is really nothing they can do.

Professor Zhang was stunned when he heard Li Yancheng say this.

He didn't expect that the people from the Social Affairs Bureau would ask him to watch from the scene. Could it be that they really would not take any action and were just asking questions?

"Chief Li, what you mean by inquiry is really not going to be a fight?"

"Professor, our hands-on work is completely different from what you imagine. If you want me to describe it to you in detail now, I really can't explain it clearly. You can only see it for yourself."

This time, Professor Zhang thought for a longer time. He reached out to Li Yancheng for a cigarette, took only two puffs, and almost watched the cigarette slowly burn out.

"Where should I take you?"

call……

Professor Zhang's words made Li Yancheng feel greatly relieved.

"It's in the ** guesthouse across the street from the west gate. Do you know that place? We live in room 209 on the second floor, the very top of the second floor."

"I know." Professor Zhang nodded. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the hotel. It was now 1:20.

"I'll be there with Bao before two o'clock. If you change your mind and don't let me see it, or if there are any other changes, don't blame me for reporting you to the higher authorities."

"Don't worry about that. We will definitely do what we say."

"That's best."

After saying this, Professor Zhang stood up.

Seeing that the old professor seemed about to pay the bill again, Li Yancheng quickly reached out to stop him.

Their meals are all paid for on a reimbursement basis, so there is no need for the old professor to pay out of his own pocket.

Professor Zhang didn't insist on paying, and left the restaurant first. His salary was not low, but everyone had about the same amount of monthly rations, so he decided to save as much as possible.

……

At 2:00 p.m. on June 6, Professor Zhang brought Xue Baolai to the guesthouse that Li Yancheng mentioned very punctually.

Ten minutes later, in room 209 on the second floor of the guesthouse, the old professor felt like he could hardly close his mouth.

He wanted to ask something, but thinking of the other party's instructions just now, he could only suppress his curiosity and sit aside and listen carefully.

"Name"

"Xue Baolai"

"age"

"Forty Years Old"

"your identity"

"I am a member of the latent character group of the Jingshi Statistics Station of the Dongdao Statistics Bureau."

call!
The words spoken by Xue Baolai calmed the six people, Li Yancheng and the other three, whose hearts were beating wildly.

This also made Professor Zhang standing next to him open his mouth wide.

"When did you receive the undercover mission?"

"January 1949"

"What is your relationship with Guan Xiaofeng?"

"She is my downline."

"What is your relationship with Guan Weizheng?"

"He is also my downline."

"Whose child is Guan Weizheng?"

"Cao Wanquan and Guan Xiaofeng's."

"Where are the secretly filmed materials?"

"It has been handed over to my supervisor."

"Who is your upline?"

"I don't know. Every time we met, it was at night. I was wrapped up very tightly and even my voice was deliberately disguised."

“Is your upline a man or a woman?”

"female"

female? !
Li Yancheng and others' eyes lit up.

"Who do you think she is?"

“Can’t guess”

Well! This online person really hid herself very well, even Xue Baolai couldn't guess who she was.

"Who came up with the idea of ​​two lines, one bright and one dark?"

"I discussed this with Guan Xiaofeng, Guan Weizheng, and others."

"Does Guan Weizheng know that Cao Wanquan is his biological father?"

"Know"

call……

Hearing this answer, Li Yancheng shook his head in his heart, Cao Wanquan, that stupid man.

"Besides being the superior and subordinate of the same line, what other relationship do you have with Guan Xiaofeng?"

"Relationships between men and women."

It’s on!
Li Yancheng snapped his fingers. He saw that Guan Xiaofeng's skin color and expression did not seem like she was single, and it turned out to be true.

"How did you find Guan Xiaofeng?"

"She always comes out to find me."

"How did she get out?"

"The well and tunnel in the backyard."

Well, that tunnel became the exclusive passage for the mother and son.

"Do you know Liang Jinhua?"

"Yes, she is Wei Haiping's wife."

"Do you think she is your upline?"

"she is not"

Xue Baolai answered without even a hint of hesitation, leaving Lao Xu and the other six people stunned.

After a few people looked at each other, Li Yancheng asked anxiously: "How do you know she is not?"

"There are no scars on the back of her hands."

"Does your boss have a scar on his hand?"

"Yes"

"How did the injury occur?"

'Like a burn'

"That hand?"

"left hand"

“How big is the area?”

"Half the back of my hand."

Met it! No wonder the mysterious online person had to wear gloves when he met Cao Wanquan in April. It turned out that he did so because there were obvious marks on his hands.

"How did you know?" "I saw her once when she took off her gloves while writing an address for me."

“Does she write with her left hand?”

"right"

It is very likely that they are ambidextrous and write with their left hand because they don't want others to be able to find them through their handwriting.

But there is a big burn scar on the back of my left hand...

"Is there any other reason why you are sure that your superior is not Liang Jinhua?"

"Their breasts feel different."

Oh shit!

When Xue Baolai said this, the seven people in the room almost fell to the ground together.

Is this guy playing so wild?
"What did you, your superior, and Liang Jinhua do?"

"no"

Huh? What the hell is this?

"Didn't you say the touch was different?"

"The two of them have similar figures and are about the same age. I had my suspicions, so I deliberately tested them separately."

Well, your method of probing is quite unique. Li Yancheng secretly complained in his heart.

"How do you usually communicate with your upline?"

……

The questioning lasted only about ten minutes in total before it stopped.

This time, I didn't get stuck for half an hour.

Lao Xu felt that it was unnecessary, as long as they could confirm the identity of this guy so that they could complete their mission.

If the interrogation time is shorter, he can recover a few days earlier.

As the long needle inserted in his head was removed, Xue Baolai fell into a complete coma.

Professor Zhang, who was sitting next to him, hadn't closed his mouth yet.

What a weird interrogation method this is. No wonder they said the methods they used were different from what he imagined.

This is indeed different. If he hadn't been sitting here watching it live, he wouldn't have come here even if he racked his brains.

Seeing his student lying on the bed, the people from the Social Affairs Bureau also stood up, and Professor Zhang finally came back to his senses from the shock.

"Li... Chief Li, what is this... what is this method? Why is Bao... why is he so cooperative? What's wrong with him now?"

"Professor Zhang, this is an interrogation method we developed ourselves. It uses acupuncture from traditional Chinese medicine and can allow people to answer any questions while being awake, without causing any harm to the person being interrogated.

There will be a half-month period of weakness after the interrogation, during which time the person will be unable to take care of himself.

Using this method, every word spoken by the defendant is his subconscious memory, so there will definitely be no problem. "

Lao Xu was explaining patiently to Professor Zhang, while Li Yancheng and the other five were sorting out their previous confessions.

Now that the confession has been obtained, the next step is to follow the formal procedures for Xue Baolai.

He has dealt with it here, but what about that mysterious person online?
The good news I received this morning and my previous speculations on the train were completely overturned today.

She appeared mysteriously. Apart from knowing that she is definitely a woman, that she has a burn scar on the back of her left hand, that she can write with her left hand, that her figure is a bit like Liang Jinhua, and that they are of similar age, we know nothing else.

This is really a case of one problem after another.

……

Coincidentally, problems also occurred in the investigation of Liang Jinhua in Beijing.

There were indeed problems with Liang Jinhua's file, for example, she was able to get a diploma even though she did not go to school for two years.

But this problem has now found a fairly reasonable explanation.

She did that just to ensure that she could get her diploma and get a job.

It was indeed because of her parents' health that she took them back to her hometown during those two years.

Her hometown is in the present-day Yunmi County, which was divided into two parts back then. Her hometown was called Yihua County. In August 1949, Yunmi and Yihua counties were merged into the new Yunmi County.

The explanation was given by a comrade from the Security Department.

After Liang Jinhua was placed under quarantine, the Security Department did not stop its investigation into her, but continued it step by step. However, the investigation was carried out slowly because there were many things on hand.

But they have found the people they were looking for. Some of them may be a little slower than here, while others are faster.

For example, they had already contacted the son of the first principal of the girls' high school where Liang Jinhua studied at the time, which was taken over after liberation.

The first principal passed away ten years ago at the age of seventy-eight.

The reason why the principal's son could remember Liang Jinhua was simple: he and Liang's father were classmates.

It was he who helped Liang Jinhua get her diploma despite having to go to school two years less.

But at the same time, he also emphasized to the investigator from the Security Department that Liang Jinhua took the graduation exam and passed it.

The investigation records of Yunmi County were also handed over to the Security Department, which verified Liang Jinhua's life trajectory there for those two years. It can be said that there were basically no problems during that period.

This……

In Su Xiaotong's office in an intermediate court, several people fell into silence after reading the Security Department's investigation records on Liang Jinhua.

The Security Department's investigation into Liang Jinhua started earlier than theirs, and the content was much more detailed.

Su Xiaotong threw the notebook on the table, picked up a cigarette and lit it for himself, turned his head and glanced at the other people in his room, thought for a moment and said, "Mao Fei, ask someone to drive the car and then go meet Liang Jinhua."

"it is good"

Liang Jinhua was a little impatient and confused after being called out for questioning by different people for several days in a row. She couldn't understand why these police officers kept arresting her and asking her questions.

But on second thought, since her husband did that, it's normal for people to be suspicious of her family members.

Normal is normal, but she must ask the questions that need to be asked.

"Comrade Public Security, do you suspect that I am in league with my child's father?"

As soon as she saw Su Xiaotong, Liang Jinhua asked directly without even sitting down.

"Why do you think so?"

Su Xiaotong threw the notebook and pen in his hand onto the table, leaned back in his chair, looked at the woman standing across the table and asked.

“Since the day my child’s father committed suicide by jumping off a building, you have arrested me, my daughter, my parents-in-law, and my brother-in-law’s family and locked them up here.

In the first few days, you questioned us one by one, but in the last few days, you only came to me every time. Oh, you also questioned my daughter yesterday. Isn’t it obvious that you suspect me? "

"You and your daughter live under the same roof with Wei Haiping. Now that he's in trouble, of course we have to investigate you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

“Comrade Public Security, you misunderstood. I understand that you are investigating me, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with it.

But I don't mind if the investigation can be carried out faster, but my daughter has to go to school, and my parents-in-law are old and in poor health. They are depressed being locked up here every day, and I am worried that something might go wrong.

As for my brother-in-law's family, Haiping's affairs have nothing to do with them. Although they are brothers, they don't interact very often and only see each other once a month or so.

I feel bad that they have locked people up here because of my child’s father’s matter.

I think I have been very cooperative with your work, and my resume and files are not complicated. Could it be that you haven't checked them clearly in all these days?"

Liang Jinhua remained calm and spoke clearly.

When Su Xiaotong heard her mention that her resume and file were not complicated, he smiled.

"Okay, since you mentioned resume and file, let's talk about it. Liang Jinhua, please sit down and let's talk slowly."

After Liang Jinhua sat down on the chair, Su Xiaotong continued, "First, explain to me why the resume and file were falsified?

Don't say no. The fact that I can ask this means that we already have some of the truth. If you continue to lie, it will only make us more suspicious of you."

Seeing that Liang Jinhua wanted to interrupt him before he finished speaking, Su Xiaotong couldn't help but raise his voice a little.

Liang Jinhua was silent for a while, then she nodded with a bitter face and said, "I didn't expect you would check the information before liberation in such detail.

Yes, there are indeed differences between what is written on my resume and file and the actual situation. The reason I did that was because Uncle Zhao helped me get my high school diploma through the backdoor.

If I don’t say that, people will know there’s something wrong with my diploma, and that will hurt Uncle Zhao and Grandpa Zhao.”

The Grandpa Zhao that Liang Jinhua mentioned was the first principal of the girls' high school she attended after it was taken over by this side in 1949. Uncle Zhao was his son and also a classmate of Liang's father.

"Okay, then tell me about your specific situation in your hometown, Yihua County, during those two years."

"I took my parents back home to recuperate. Not long after I returned, a friend of my mother's took me to help their women's team because I was educated.

My mother's friend is still alive. You can ask her to verify my situation at that time. Our Yihua County has been incorporated into Yunmi County. She is Wan Shuiying, the current director of the Yunmi County Trade Union Office. "

Su Xiaotong pursed his lips. The comrades from the Security Department who went to investigate had already found Wan Shuiying.

She can indeed testify that Liang Jinhua had been helping their women's team during those two years.

Because of this, Wan Shuiying also introduced Liang Jinhua to join the organization.

However, Liang Jinhua's parents had just passed away. She was very sad, and also wanted to get her high school diploma, so she hurried back to the city.

If it weren't for this, Liang Jinhua would have most likely joined the organization at that time.

After returning to the city and getting her diploma, because she had indeed not been to school for two years, she was worried that telling the truth would affect the people who helped her, so she hid the fact that she had lived in her hometown for two years when filling out her resume.

At that time, she thought that those were things that happened before the liberation and should not have any impact. However, she did not expect that 20 years later, the police would become suspicious of her because of this.
