Chapter 329 Coming one after another
After hearing what the captain said, Xiao Ding, the last one to come in, rushed to the bedside and reached under the pillow. When he came out again, there was a gun in his hand.

"Captain, it's a homemade Type 54, loaded."

"Damn it, you've done so many bad things that you even sleep with your gun loaded under your pillow!"

Wang Maofei raised his hand and slapped Zheng Dahu, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, on the head.

Seeing that Qu Xianfeng had already handcuffed this guy behind his back, he grabbed Zheng Dahu's hair with his left hand and lifted his head up.

"Boy, didn't you just ask who we are? Come, take a closer look now."

In fact, after being pulled to the ground and feeling the other party's skillful movements, Zheng Dahu already knew who the person was who rushed into his house, and his face turned pale.

Despite this, after his head was lifted up, he still looked unconvinced. Although he didn't say anything, you can tell from his expression that this guy seemed to be thinking, "Let me go and fight you one-on-one if you have the guts."

Wang Maofei didn't want to waste time with this guy. He lifted his head and asked directly, "Where are the explosives you got the other day?"

"What kind of explosives? I don't know..."

"BANG"

A slap landed directly on his head, and he was hit back before he could finish his words.

"Where are the explosives?" Wang Maofei asked again.

"I do not know……"

You're still pretty stubborn!

"BANG"

"I'll ask you one last time, where are the explosives?"

Just as Zheng Dahu was about to continue saying that he didn't know, he suddenly felt something cold pressing on his leg.

The touch made him swallow back the words he hadn't said yet.

"That...that...that's not mine. I'm just helping to pass it on."

"Whose is that, and who did you pass it on to?"

"I can't tell you. If I tell you, I'll be dead."

"Haha, if I tell you, you're dead? Then I'll tell you. If you don't tell me, I'll let you know what's worse than death. Xiao Ding..."

"Yes"

Xiao Ding took out his work ID from his shirt pocket and showed it to Zheng Dahu.

"Boy, we are not the police, don't try to fool us. If you can't explain, I will make you want to die."

Looking at the words "Social Affairs Bureau" clearly written on the work permit in front of him, Zheng Dahu's pupils shrank unconsciously.

Only then did he realize that the people who arrested him were not police officers at all.

"That...that..."

Seeing that he was still whining and refusing to speak, Wang Maofei lost his patience, let go of the hair he was holding and stood up.

"Alright, I won't ask any more questions. Take him back and let Yan Cheng interrogate him. We don't have time to waste time with him here. Guangfeng, you two come in and search this room thoroughly. We'll take our people back first.

Jeonju, let her put on her clothes and take them back too."

"Yes"

"Comrade Public Security, I really don't know anything. I was just dating him." When the woman heard that she was going to be taken away, she opened her mouth, which she had covered for a long time, and said in a crying voice.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me here, put on your clothes and come with us. If you don't want to get dressed, I don't mind if you just leave like this."

After saying this, Wang Maofei turned around and walked out of the room.

When the woman heard that she would be taken out like this if she didn't put on her clothes, and then saw that her boyfriend had been picked up and dragged out in just his underpants, she didn't dare to say anything and grabbed the clothes on the stool next to her and put them on.

……

Twenty minutes later, when Wang Maofei brought the man and woman back to the office, and since the man had just passed away an unknown number of explosives in the past two days, all the front-line personnel at home became excited.

Li Yancheng, who was discussing the case with Su Xiaotong in the Intermediate Court, immediately ran to the backyard.

"Wow, what's going on? Why did you bring this here wearing only a pair of shorts?"

In the interrogation room, when Li Yancheng saw Zheng Dahu, who had been fixed on a special chair, with a pale face and shaking all over, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"When we went to catch this guy, he was sleeping soundly with his girlfriend in his arms. I asked him where the explosives came from, but he refused to tell me. I'll leave it to you, Yancheng."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"I... I am willing to... cooperate, I am willing to explain, but... those things are not mine, I am just helping to pass them on, the things belong to Yan Long, he asked me to help him pass them on..."

"Alright, alright, shut up. We don't want to hear what you want to say now."

Lao Xu also came and interrupted Zheng Dahu directly. Instead of letting him explain in a long-winded way, it would be better to use Li Yancheng's method and ask directly. It is not only fast but also authentic.

"Yancheng, speed up."

"okay"

Li Yancheng had already taken out the needle bag from his trouser pocket.

Zheng Dahu's eyes almost popped out when he looked at those shiny long needles. Although he didn't know what this person was going to do with these needles, his intuition told him that this was definitely not a good thing, so he shouted loudly.

"Comrade, I am really willing to cooperate. I promise not to hide a single word. I am willing to cooperate. You can't do this. I am really willing to cooperate."

"Hey, kid, it's too late. If you were so straightforward when I asked you at your house just now, there would be no need to go through so much trouble."

Seeing his cowardly look, Wang Maofei laughed out loud.

He knew the procedure, so he walked to the other side of Zheng Dahu and helped Li Yancheng hold down Zheng's head to prevent him from moving.

"Comrade, I really..."

Li Yancheng had already withdrawn his hand from feeling the patient's pulse, and the first long needle immediately pierced into Zheng Dahu's head.

As the first long needle was inserted, the guy's mouth finally closed and the interrogation room suddenly became quiet.

Soon, the other three long needles in his hand were all pierced into the guy's head.

"What's your name?"

"Zheng Dahu"

"Okay, start asking."

"Zheng Dahu, who gave you the explosives?"

After getting permission, Lao Xu immediately asked.

"Yan Long"

"Who is Yan Long?"

"He is the director of the Dachang slag plant in Bac Ha province."

It turned out that the explosives came from Beihe, and the police there also received a notice to investigate. I don’t know whether they haven’t found it here yet or they are just going through the motions. If it’s the latter, haha, they are going to have a lot of fun.

"Who did he ask you to give those explosives to?"

"He asked me to find a way to get a tricycle and take those things to the temporarily suspended construction site at the junction of Wenchong District and Yangchao."

"When did Yan Long ask you to deliver it?"

"Before 8pm on the 21st."

The 21st? That was the night Zhao Guangrun died. No doubt about it. It must be this night.

“Who will it be handed over to after it is delivered there?”

"I don't know. Yan Long just asked me to leave the tricycle and the construction site next to the well and I could leave."

"How many were pulled over in total?"

"One hundred kilograms!"

I'm in trouble!
After hearing the numbers that Zheng Dahu said, the faces of the people present turned extremely ugly, and their faces turned dark!

The worst situation finally happened. The things Zhao Guangrun had at home were only fifty kilograms.

In other words, that person still has at least half of the remaining money.

What are the remaining ones going to do?

Thinking about the fact that the Lotus Group was specifically engaged in sabotage work, several people's hearts couldn't help but sink!
He asked a few more questions, and seeing that this guy was indeed just a transferee and knew nothing about other things, Lao Xu waved his hand and asked Li Yancheng to stop interrogating him.

Seeing this, Wang Maofei quickly asked to wait a moment, and took the opportunity to ask about the gun again. He stopped after getting the answer.

Although the imitation Type 54 rifle has no rifling, and no one knows where the bullets will fly if fired at a long distance, it is still very lethal at close range. We must destroy this manufacturing base.

After coming out of the interrogation room, several people came to the woman. She really knew nothing about all this.

After the interrogation, Lao Xu immediately reported the situation to the bureau. Upon hearing it, the bureau immediately called the Beihe Social Affairs Bureau and asked them to immediately arrest Yan Long, the director of the Sanhe Slag Factory.

Lao Xu also sent people to the construction site that was temporarily suspended for some special reason to see if there was anything else that could be found there. When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, the worst news came back.

Yan Long was dead. He died of poisoning in the meeting room of their factory, and in front of the police from the Sanhe local Public Security Bureau who went to investigate.

That's right, the local public security in Sanhe did not make any mistakes. The investigation of the slag plant only started this afternoon. As soon as they arrived there, they were invited to the conference room and waited for the factory to send over the explosives ledger.

Yan Long, who had been sitting opposite and talking to them, drank a sip of the water in front of him. A few seconds later, he suddenly rolled on the ground holding his stomach. Soon after, he began to foam at the mouth. He died before he was sent to the hospital.

There were quite a few people in the conference room at that time. In addition to the local police officers from Sanhe, there were also two deputy directors and the office director of the slag factory.

Yan Long brought the water he drank from his office to the conference room himself, and he refilled the cup with water after arriving here.

The thermos in the conference room was brought by the office staff. It turned out that the water in the thermos was fine, because the policemen and several other people from the slag factory had drunk the water in that bottle, and everyone was fine.

Now the glass of water that Yan Long drank and many things in his office have been sent for testing to see what exactly poisoned him.

The local public security bureau in Sanhe and the local social security bureau in Fanglang have also launched an investigation inside the slag plant.

The place was gloomy after receiving the news.

We finally made some breakthrough progress, but the person involved died again. It seemed that this line of inquiry was almost broken again. How could we not be frustrated?

Before everyone could get over the previous bad news, another even worse news came back from Sanhe.

After preliminary investigation, it was found that the amount of explosives that did not match the slag plant's accounts was not 100 kilograms, but 200 kilograms.

One hundred kilograms of it had disappeared from the warehouse a month earlier.

This news is even more frightening.

The murderer currently has at least 150 kilograms of explosives in his hands. This...

“Can we assume that the murderer had already had a target for the explosion and had made adequate preparations, but he may have suddenly discovered that he did not have enough explosives to achieve the desired effect, so he took the risk of being exposed and did it again.

So there was the second 100 kilograms that Yan Long entrusted Zheng Dahu to hand over.

This time, the 100 kilograms were more than enough, so only 50 kilograms appeared at Zhao Guangrun's place. The murderer placed 50 kilograms of explosives here, and his idea was probably to take advantage of the situation. "

In the small meeting room of the Intermediate Court, everyone at home was discussing the news they had just received. Should they get off work on time? Or forget it, because Director Zhong would be here soon.

At present, there are various possibilities, and what Su Xiaotong said is one of them.

Lao Xu glanced at his subordinates in the meeting room and found that some people had not arrived yet, so he asked, "Has Comrade Lin Jun not been notified yet?"

"We have just contacted him through the car radio. He is in Dianhai and is on his way back..."

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Before I could finish my words, Tian Linjun, who had arrived late, had already appeared at the door of the conference room.

"Director, Director Su, brothers, I went to see Liang Qiutao's wife He Juling again this afternoon. She was discharged from the hospital with her child and temporarily stayed at her mother's house yesterday.

According to her recollection, on the morning of the fire, around nine or ten o'clock, a woman who looked to be in her sixties came to the ward to find her, introduced herself as Liang Qiutao's friend, and kept asking her about her husband and Zhao Guangrun.

At that time, He Juling had no intention of paying attention to her at all. She just said a few words and sent her away. Just a few minutes after the woman left, Zhao Guangrun rushed over.

He Juling didn't care about this woman's affairs at first. Last night, she was lying in bed unable to sleep. After careful recollection, she found something wrong. She said that she had no recollection of her husband having a friend of that age.

The most important thing is that just a few minutes after the old woman left, Zhao Guangrun came over. He seemed to have seen the old woman and asked her whether the old woman had come to the ward.

He Juling said that when the old woman came, she gave her a can of lotus root powder, which was placed on the small cabinet beside the bed. But after Zhao Guangrun left, she found that the can of lotus root powder was gone.

I remember we found an unopened can of lotus root starch in Zhao Guangrun's cupboard. Could it be that can? If so, why did he secretly take it away?
Also, judging by the time they left and came back, it seems that they bumped into each other. It seems that both of them recognized each other, but they were not very familiar with each other. Is there something wrong here?"

"Sun He, send someone to take the can of lotus root starch brought back from Zhao Guangrun's home to the Public Security Bureau's laboratory for testing. He may have discovered something."

After listening to Tian Linjun's words, Lao Xu immediately made a judgment.

"Yes"

Sun He immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

"Mr. Lin, can He Juling still remember what that old woman looks like?"

After arranging the inspection, Lao Xu looked at Tian Linjun and asked.

"She has already drawn a portrait of the old woman based on her memory." Tian Linjun said as he took out a piece of paper from the notebook in his hand.

"She can also draw?" Lao Xu felt a little surprised.

"Her mother is a middle school art teacher, and her drawing skills are quite good."

Tian Linjun nodded and explained, unfolding the paper in his hand and handing it to Lao Xu.

The old woman drawn on the paper looked like an ordinary old woman. After taking a few glances at it, Lao Xu passed it to everyone to see.

After receiving the portrait, Li Yancheng glanced at it and immediately stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

"I'll ask Cao Wanquan and Xue Bao to come and see if they have any impression of this woman."

"Wait a moment, Yancheng." Seeing him walking out, Lao Xu called him.

"Xiaotong, I have a task for you and Yancheng. After Cao and Xue identify the portrait, no matter what the result is, you two should take this portrait and drive to Qingyan County. Go to the Qingyan Detention Center and find an old man named Yu Dajun to take a look and see if he has any impression of this old woman."

"it is good"

After receiving the order, Su Xiaotong closed the notebook in front of him, stood up, and walked out of the meeting room with Li Yancheng.

"Xiaotong, who is this Yu Dajun that the director is talking about?"

After walking out of the meeting room, Li Yancheng asked.

"A minor leader at Jingshi Station before liberation."

"What?"

What Su Xiaotong said made Li Yancheng's mouth open so wide that he could fit an egg in it.

"You heard it right. This old man failed to leave that year. He had no choice but to hide his identity and pretend to be an ordinary person to continue living in Beijing. He didn't know that he had been recognized by a lurking person.

After being caught, that guy killed Yu Dajun in order to save his life by redeeming his crime."

"Since he is a leader, how come he is still alive?" Li Yancheng was very curious.

Theoretically speaking, once that group of people are caught, they will basically be targeted because they have done so many bad things.

Of course, this so-called bad thing is only for this side, but from other people's perspective, it's just a matter of each serving their own master.

"Yu Dajun's situation is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it in a few words. I'll tell you slowly on the way."

As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the backyard. Cao and Xue's identification efforts had yielded no results, as they had no impression of the old woman in the portrait.

Let’s drive away!
Before setting off, the two of them had a quick bite in the cafeteria. Then Li Yancheng went home to say hello to his wife before getting in the car and heading straight for Qingyan.

"Tell me, you just said that Yu Dajun's situation is complicated. How complicated is it? Could he be one of ours?"

"That's not it." Su Xiaotong sat in the co-pilot seat, assumed a comfortable posture, lit two cigarettes, put one in Li Yancheng's mouth, and said leisurely.

"How should I describe this old fellow surnamed Yu? He was demoted here because he offended someone. Before coming here, he worked in Wu City.

Not to mention the question of which city was higher in rank, Wu City or Jing City, just based on the situation at the time, working in Wu City was much safer than here.

This old guy was considered a smart man. He didn't care about anything after he came here. He had his own judgment of the situation at the time and knew that they might not be able to make it. So after he took office, he pretended to obey many orders from above.

Not only that, he also provided a lot of help to our organization in Beijing at that time whenever possible. In his words, he just wanted to establish a good relationship.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why he was able to save his life in the end. Our bureau had an old deputy director who is no longer with us. You should have heard of him. His name is Shen Shouheng. "

"Well, I know Deputy Director Shen. I've seen his photo on the bureau's honor roll." Li Yancheng, who was driving, nodded.

“Before liberation, Deputy Director Shen was the head of our organization’s security team in Beijing. At that time, they did receive help from Yu Dajun in several operations.

There was even one time when Deputy Director Shen and his team almost suffered a devastating disaster if it weren't for this guy's help.

At first, Deputy Director Shen and his colleagues thought that the man with the surname Yu was not one of their own, so they specially confirmed with the rear. After receiving a negative reply, they even thought about bringing him to our side.

But the man surnamed Yu had worked in Shuangqing Detention Center before, so the higher-ups did not approve Deputy Director Shen’s proposal. They also ordered people to be vigilant against the man surnamed Yu in case he had any other conspiracies, and they were still wary of this guy’s sudden change.

Later, as this place was liberated, some of their people received orders to leave, while many stayed. Yu Dajun received an order to retreat, and he followed the large army to retreat south of the Yangtze River.

Later they were defeated and had to leave. As a result, he failed to get the final pass and was asked to go to Shanghai to continue working and wait for the opportunity.

The old man was so angry that he ran back here. He lived in hiding with the identity he got when he was here before, until he was reported in the seventh year of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After being arrested, he also helped us solve several cases of undercover agents, which can be regarded as meritorious service.

In addition, he did provide us with a lot of help before 1949, and after investigation, it was found that although he had worked in the Shuangqing detention center, he was just a person who didn't care about anything and didn't really do anything personally.

Later, the leaders thought that Yu Dajun was an old employee there after all, and keeping him might still be of some use. After a trial, this guy was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Although this guy seems to be locked up, he is actually living a relatively comfortable life in Qingyan Detention Center. He is almost seventy years old and is alone.

If we really let him go now, given the current environment, he may not be as comfortable outside as he is inside.

In his words, he has gotten used to it after staying there for so many years, and he doesn’t want to leave.”

So that's how it is. After listening to Su Xiaotong's introduction, Li Yancheng suddenly realized. He said, how could a guy who had held a position there stay until now?
