Chapter 827: Boomerang

On the evening of the second day after Secretary Guo's incident, the mainland investigation personnel arrived in Tokyo.

The people who came didn't care that Li Ye, Liu Muhan, and the others had just returned from Mitsubishi. They confined everyone in their rooms overnight and interviewed them one by one.

This interrogation mode, which did not allow for collusion, made everyone feel very nervous and very uncomfortable.

Those cold eyes of the investigators looked over, as if they treated everyone as a murderer.

And this time, the interrogation was one by one. No one knew who was next, and everyone's heart was always hanging, tired and anxious to death.

And this overnight interrogation lasted a long time for each person. Those waiting in the back were anxious, wishing they could finish the questioning quickly and come back to have a good sleep.

Li Ye was arranged very late. Seeing that it was almost dawn outside, it still wasn't his turn.

It wasn't until Lu Zhizhang was finished that Li Ye heard his name called.

"Comrade Li Ye, it's your turn."

"Okay."

Li Ye left the room and, accompanied by the investigator, headed to Room 501, which was temporarily used as an interview room.

Because this was not the mainland, there were no conditions to arrange a "confinement room" for everyone. Everyone was two to a room, so the first interrogation by the investigation team was very important and had to be watched, not allowing anyone to exchange information with each other.

However, Lu Zhizhang not opening his mouth didn't mean Li Ye couldn't get information. After all, his ability to observe expressions was top-notch.

Li Ye exchanged looks with Lu Zhizhang in the corridor and obtained an "everything is fine" message.

But the young man responsible for watching Li Ye immediately blocked Li Ye's path, clearly also experienced.

Li Ye calmly followed the other party into Room 501 and saw the three investigators presiding over the interrogation.

Two men and one woman, all in their thirties or forties. Two sat on the beds on the left and right, another sat at the table, and the remaining chair was placed at the intersection of the three people's lines of sight—a proper three-hall trial.

And the three investigators also looked at Li Ye for the first time. The middle-aged man wearing glasses immediately smiled.

"This must be Comrade Li Ye, right? Indeed young. Sit, sit, sit. Don't be nervous. This isn't some irregular investigation; we're just understanding the situation..."

,

"Okay, okay. If there's anything you need to understand, just ask. I will fully cooperate... By the way, may I ask the surnames of the leaders?"

Li Ye asked while humbly exchanging pleasantries, while groping for the identities of these three.

Even when calling customer service, you have to ask for an employee number. If you're unhappy, you can still complain! You can't be questioned for half a day and not even know who is questioning you, right?

"Hehe, my surname is Liu. You can call me Sun Laoliu. This is Old Sun, and that is Sister Zhang... You sit, you sit, you sit..."

The middle-aged man wearing glasses simply introduced the surnames of the three to Li Ye. He looked like a very kind person.

But Li Ye could determine that this Sun Laoliu was a formidable character.

Because ever since Li Ye entered the door, his gaze had been locked on Li Ye's face. No matter how happily he greeted Li Ye to sit down, Li Ye could feel that kind of highly penetrating scrutiny.

This was an indescribable feeling, but Li Ye had witnessed it several times on Teacher Ke.

For example, when Wen Leyu first sat at the same desk as Li Ye, Teacher Ke had scrutinized Li Ye while standing on the podium.

And when Li Ye first entered Beijing and was ridden around crazily for a day by Wen Leyu on a bicycle, Teacher Ke had also scrutinized Li Ye.

However, after Li Ye got engaged to Wen Leyu, this feeling never happened again. Li Ye believed it was because Teacher Ke had completely treated him as "half a son."

Sun Laoliu let Li Ye sit in the chair, then took off his glasses to wipe them, and even yawned, appearing very exhausted.

"Oh my, busy all night. Let's speed it up and just ask casually. Otherwise, I'm old and really can't hold up..."

Sun Laoliu put on his glasses and then said to Li Ye: "It's like this, Comrade Li Ye. We asked several inspection personnel in front, and they all said that Secretary Guo had a close relationship with you before he died and talked to you alone several times. So now, explain to us why Secretary Guo jumped off the building..."

Li Ye stared at Sun Laoliu with wide eyes, secretly thinking, "This guy is indeed ruthless and professional."

Sun Laoliu had just said to ask casually, and in a turn, he was putting a chamber pot on his head. If it weren't for Li Ye having heard countless rumors and experiences of "interviews" before, he might have cursed out loud by now.

Like this kind of conversation, it is to make the interviewee panic and then reveal more flaws. As long as you are angered by him, you will basically be led by the nose by the other party.

【No, I also have to be angry, otherwise it won't be normal.】

The reason Li Ye stared with wide eyes was to strive for a little time to think.

So less than a second later, Li Ye stood up angrily and shouted: "Sun Laoliu, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? What does his death have to do with me? What right do you have to ask me why?"

"Hey, I didn't say Secretary Guo's death has anything to do with you! Why are you so anxious to explain?

Sit down, sit down, speak slowly!"

Sun Laoliu smiled and appeased the angry Li Ye, looking like a good old man.

Li Ye said angrily: "Secretary Guo did look for me alone twice, but he was asking me some questions related to finance,

stocks, and futures. I just explained it to him, that's all..."

Sun Laoliu waited for Li Ye to finish speaking, then asked calmly: "Then why did he want to ask you these?"

Li Ye said as a matter of course: "Because I studied economics! They didn't understand anything. Since they asked me, it's no problem for me to explain it to them, right?"

Sun Laoliu squinted his eyes and asked with a smile: "So, you are an expert in this area?"

Li Ye glanced at the other party, determined that the other party was digging a hole for him, but still said faintly: "Expert is not the word, but I am definitely more professional than ordinary people."

Sun Laoliu smiled and said very casually: "So Secretary Han trusted you very much, believing that stocks and futures can make money, and even making several times the profit in a day is not a problem..."

Li Ye was stunned for two seconds, then asked coldly: "What do you mean by asking this? I never said anything about making several times the profit in a day. It was Old Gu who said that. And what do these have to do with Secretary Guo's death?"

Sun Laoliu, who had always been gentle, lost his smile instantly, just like a gentle yellow ox that suddenly shook off the disguise on its body, revealing the yellow and black striped golden-tier pattern.

Sun Laoliu said sternly: "Say what you are asked to say, and don't play dumb with us."

Li Ye wasn't playing dumb; he was thinking about whether the other party wanted to pin the crime of "inducing Secretary Han to buy stocks" on Li Ye.

Now Secretary Han is dead. Without thinking, Gu Jianqi will also push the responsibility onto Secretary Guo. But why did Secretary Guo speculate in futures?

It was Li Ye who induced him! Doesn't this evidence chain close the loop?

【No wonder those who were interviewed and drank tea in later generations basically fell into bad luck. These people are indeed soft and hard, ruthless and black.】

Li Ye didn't blame Sun Laoliu, because the other party was playing this game. No matter how fancy they played, Li Ye shouldn't be surprised.

Li Ye hummed and said: "Secretary Han and Old Gu didn't trust me. Every time they looked for me to ask questions,

they were like Leader Liu, only allowing me to answer their questions, but never explaining to me why they wanted to care about stocks and futures..."

"So instead of asking me here, you might as well ask Old Gu well. They lived in the same room, and they were inseparable when meeting Japanese friends..."

Sun Laoliu stared at Li Ye, listened carefully, and then asked: "When Secretary Guo accompanied Old Gu to meet Japanese friends, why didn't you stop them? Didn't they emphasize collective discipline before going abroad?"

"Heh~"

Li Ye chuckled and said: "A higher official crushes people to death. Old Gu insisted on going out to meet friends, so who could stop him? I saw Liu Muhan trying to stop him at the time, but Old Gu used me as an example, saying Li Ye could go out on his own, so why couldn't he? So Liu Muhan could only register the other party's information..."

Sun Laoliu interrupted Li Ye's narration and said: "Alright, alright. You just need to say whether you stopped them or not. No need to say the rest..."

But Sister Zhang on the side suddenly spoke: "Section Chief Liu, since we are asking questions, shouldn't we listen to Comrade Li Ye's opinion? Can't let him say half-sentences, right?"

Li Ye immediately understood that this Sister Zhang was Liu Muhan's person.

There were three investigators in the room. Thinking about it, one represented the foreign trade side, one was Gu Jianqi's unit.

Both sides would definitely pull each other, hoping to push the responsibility to the other side.

Sun Laoliu looked at Sister Zhang, then continued to question Li Ye, but it was just those few questions over and over again.

According to Li Ye's inference, they wanted to determine whether Secretary Han's death was related to the plummet of the Japanese stock market.

【Why don't you just ask me directly? Beating around the bush...】 When Sun Laoliu finished asking questions and was ready to let Li Ye leave, Li Ye suddenly said: "I have something here, I don't know if you are interested. Last Thursday, Secretary Guo once borrowed my phone..."

,

Sun Laoliu looked at Li Ye and nodded, saying: "We already understand this situation. You were in Zhao Xiangchu's room at the time, right?"

Li Ye nodded and said: "Yes, Professor Zhao and Xiao Zheng know about this. Professor Zhao said that late at night, they should have been making private calls... If we can determine who they called, maybe we can find more clues!"

Sun Laoliu wiped his glasses again and asked: "Then can you determine who they called?"

Li Ye looked at the other party's expression and knew they had already asked Gu Jianqi and Professor Zhao this question. He didn't know how Gu Jianqi answered, but thinking with his toes, the other party wouldn't tell the truth either.

"I can't determine, but my mobile phone is a Japanese number, so I should be able to check the call records..."

Secretary Guo wouldn't have thought even after death that when he borrowed Li Ye's phone for Gu Jianqi, the boomerang would fly back so quickly.

"Hmm?"

Sun Laoliu raised his head, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. ===== CHAPTER 828 =====
