Chapter 219: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

To avoid Ji Weidong's pestering, Li Xuewu leaned against the back seat of the jeep and pretended to sleep, but didn't expect to actually fall asleep.

It wasn't until they reached the police station that Ji Weidong woke Li Xuewu up with snow from the ground. Feeling the icy cold on his face, he opened his eyes in a daze, only to find Ji Weidong teasing him with a snowball.

"We're here?"

Ji Weidong stuffed the snowball in his hand into Li Xuewu's collar and said, "We've been here for a long time. Everyone has been locked up. If you don't wake up, I'll carry you down and throw you into a snow pile."

Li Xuewu gave a sudden jolt, hurriedly jumped out of the car, shook off the snowball that had fallen into his clothes, and said, "Remember to throw it in a thick place. I like sleeping on softer quilts."

"You wish. Hurry up and go. Everyone is waiting for you. Eat first, then work." Seeing Li Xuewu grab a snowball from the ground to hit him, Ji Weidong hurried toward the lobby.

Li Xuewu shook off his clothes, slammed the car door, and walked toward the lobby. On the way, he checked his watch: 12:15.

It had been nearly 24 hours since the tracking of Hu Zhengquan began yesterday afternoon, and Li Xuewu felt like it had been 24 days.

He shook his heavy head, endured the nausea of staying up all night, and returned greetings to the comrades in the station who greeted him. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw people coming in and out of the dispatch room at the entrance, each holding one or two buns, and those with lunch boxes were carrying a lunch box of fish soup.

"The food is quite good today. Buns with fish soup. It smells delicious."

Seeing Li Xuewu come in and joke with them, Old Xing shouted to the crowd, "Comrades, pay attention. Li Suo, who added food for us, is here. Let's show our appreciation to Li Suo."

The crowd clapped for Li Xuewu as if they were making a scene. Everyone was lining up for food, and the mission was urgent. Li Xuewu wouldn't let the comrades be polite to him.

"The buns were provided by the Steel Mill, and the fish was my bribe to Director Shen. As for how it was arranged, that's his business. I don't deserve your thanks. Comrades, work hard and cooperate for the next two days. When the case is over, I'll treat you."

"Good!" The crowd cheered again.

No one cared whether Li Xuewu would really treat them. There were twenty or thirty people from the station alone, and all the guards had returned, totaling more than forty people. Plus those from the Investigation Department, there were sixty or seventy people in total. Who would take Li Xuewu's words as true? He'd go bankrupt.

Li Xuewu lined up, took two buns from the steamer, used Shen Fang's office tea cup as a soup bowl, scooped a cup of fish soup, and went to Shen Fang's office to eat.

Seeing Li Xuewu go, Ji Weidong followed into Shen Fang's office. When Li Xuewu and the others entered, Shen Fang was eating. Seeing Li Xuewu come in, he waved his hand and told them to sit.

"Good man, tossing and turning since early morning, until now, finally eating a hot meal."

Seeing Li Xuewu finish eating wolfishly, Shen Fang stood up and poured a cup of hot water into the tea cup in Li Xuewu's hand.

Li Xuewu slowly drank the fish soup base. Only then did Li Xuewu's body slowly recover.

Ji Weidong's broken jeep was leaking wind everywhere, and he had slept cold, almost catching a cold.

After Li Xuewu finished drinking his "fish tea" and saw Ji Weidong still chewing slowly, he said to this "young master" from a "wealthy family," "You keep eating, I'll go wash my face."

Ji Weidong didn't bother with Li Xuewu, just waved his hand and told him to go ahead.

Li Xuewu went into the washroom, used soap to scrub thoroughly, washed off the layer of grease on his face, shook the water off his hands, and returned to Shen Fang's office, feeling refreshed.

By this time, Ji Weidong had finished eating and was calling his leader. When Li Xuewu entered the room, he only looked at Li Xuewu once, his expression very serious.

"Yes, yes, I know, hmm." Ji Weidong ended the call after a few words and turned to Li Xuewu with a solemn expression, "Two comrades in the hospital didn't make it. The leader has gone to handle the funeral arrangements."

Li Xuewu also became serious. No one wants this kind of thing to happen, but this is exactly what happens most often on this front.

"After this case is over, please take me to see them, and take me to see their families."

Ji Weidong nodded, his expression a bit lonely. They were all comrades in the same trench, rushing forward at his word, but now they were separated by life and death.

Ji Weidong took out cigarettes from his pocket and shared them with Li Xuewu and Shen Fang. Li Xuewu waved his hand to decline, pointing to the phone, indicating that he also needed to report his work.

Shen Fang accepted Ji Weidong's cigarette, and the two sat on the side, smoking gloomily.

Li Xuewu directly asked for the phone in Dong Wenxue's office. Dong Wenxue answered very quickly. The two didn't say much, everything was under Dong Wenxue's control.

Li Xuewu reported the progress and gains of the case. Dong Wenxue maintained the same attitude, only saying to be cautious and careful, and not to worry about the Steel Mill for the time being, but to handle the case solidly.

Hearing Ji Weidong mention the casualties, Li Xuewu also asked about the situation of Zhao Yajun and the other two, because both were workers at the Steel Mill, so they were sent directly to the factory hospital.

In this era, the Steel Mill's hospital was not inferior to local hospitals; on the contrary, it was better because it had the Steel Mill's continuous support, and the treatment of equipment and medical personnel was much better than local hospitals.

Dong Wenxue knew Li Xuewu was in a hurry and worried about his comrades, so he said simply that Zhao Yajun had two fractured ribs, wounds on his hands and feet, and his face was fine, just beaten by fists.

Gao Fengkun only had wounds on his hands, which were sutured and would be fine after rest. Now both were arranged in the factory hospital ward and counted as work-related injuries.

Li Xuewu was very worried when he saw Zhao Yajun's serious condition, but he didn't expect that only the external wounds looked scary. Fractured ribs were nothing; an eighteen-year-old big guy would be fine in three or four months.

After reporting his work to Dong Wenxue, he sat with Shen Fang and drank a cup of water. "Let's sort out the case again, then determine the direction. The three of us will interrogate together, each in our own field, covering more points. Let's try to sort out the case today."

Ji Weidong nodded and said, "The comrades from the Steel Mill can go back to rest. The security mission here will be handed over to the reinforcements from the Investigation Department and the comrades from the station. They've worked hard all night, let them rest."

Shen Fang flicked the ash in the ashtray and said, "Our station has isolated the detention area, and armed guards have been there all along, ensuring cooperation with the Investigation Department to handle this case well."

Seeing that both had expressed their stance, Li Xuewu stood up, opened the door, and said to Xu Ning, who was resting in the hallway with his team members after eating, "Xu Ning, gather the team, take the comrades back to the Steel Mill to rest, tell the cafeteria to prepare the evening meal, keep it hot, and let them eat whenever they wake up."

Xu Ning stood up from the ground and walked to Li Xuewu's side to ask, "Li Kezhang, do you need me to follow you?"

Li Xuewu looked at Xu Ning's dangling hand, then at Xu Ning's complexion, and said, "There's nothing going on here. Go back and rest well. We'll talk about anything when we return to the factory. Make sure to bring the comrades back safely. Treat the injured, and it's best for everyone to take a hot bath and have a good sleep when you return to the factory. Everyone did a great job."

Xu Ning knew his situation and didn't insist, saying, "I'll go back and call Han Zhan over."

Li Xuewu shook his head and said, "There are plenty of people here, don't bother. There's still snow on the road, it's not very safe."

Xu Ning agreed, gathered the team in the courtyard, and they got on the truck one after another and left.

Li Xuewu sent Xu Ning and the others away before returning to the office. Shen Fang and the others stood by the window watching Li Xuewu's team. Although they didn't speak, they saw surprise and envy in each other's eyes.

Li Xuewu entered the room and drew a tree diagram on the paper, writing the names of Feng Xiang, Liu Fusheng, Peter, David, and others on the side.

Li Xuewu tapped on the "B" character and said, "This should be the buyer or supporter behind the scenes. What we can sort out and confirm now is the warehouse keeper Zhou Chunlai lurking in the Steel Mill's gun warehouse, and the fisherman is Hu Zhengquan, an engineer lurking in the Steel Mill's engineering department."

He drew circles around the two names and pointed to the names of others, saying, "From the side understanding, the Steel Mill's finance section chief might be the ant Liu Wenhua, and his son Liu Fusheng is also a second generation."

"The deceased Feng Xiang might be a newly recruited action personnel, the one in the passenger seat might be a cleaner, or the son of the postman we haven't caught yet."

"The guard thrown off the motorcycle by Hu Zhengquan might be the financial management personnel, the God of Wealth. Because the Professor and Rose cannot be determined yet, the person Dong Wenwen mentioned is not necessarily the Professor's brother, which requires our investigation."

Ji Weidong pointed to Liu Wenhua's name and asked, "Do these two who haven't been caught need to be arrested?"

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see, see if there are any fish that slipped through the net. If we can fish them out, that would be even better. The probability of fishing out the postman is not high."

Ji Weidong had arranged many people around this pair of father and son, so they definitely couldn't run away, so he didn't reject Li Xuewu's idea of fishing.

Li Xuewu pointed to the names of several foreign-related people and said, "These people need you, Weidong, to handle the procedures. Although we are handling this kind of case, we still need to have reasons and evidence. Temporarily detain them in the name of the station. Whoever comes to plead for mercy, investigate whoever."

Ji Weidong saw Li Xuewu using ruthless and shady tricks and nodded in agreement, "Okay, although the big fish are hateful, the small shrimp cannot be let go. Let's deal with this side first, and we also have to deal with those in the school."

This was the scope of Ji Weidong's jurisdiction, so Li Xuewu didn't say much, nodded, and continued, "Since the doubts of the case have been determined, let's determine the interrogation target now. The current suspects are Dong Wenwen, Hu Zhengquan, Rose, Zhou Chunlai, David, and Peter."

Li Xuewu listed the names of several people and said, "It's very clear that Dong Wenwen and Hu Zhengquan are the focus of interrogation. Zhou Chunlai and Rose should be early personnel and know more about history. Let's figure out these people first before dealing with foreign personnel."

Shen Fang stood up and said, "Then let's do it this way, easy first then difficult, interrogate Rose first. You sit first, I'll go arrange it." As he spoke, he went out.

Ji Weidong crushed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and said, "Are you going to interrogate that Dong Wenwen later?"

Li Xuewu knew what Ji Weidong meant, nothing more than his attitude of "fleeing in panic" at the hospital.

"I just want to see how the injured doctor is doing. We can't just ignore her because she was injured because of our case."

Ji Weidong nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you think more than I do, as you should. Just because your mother-in-law loves you so much, it's only right."

Li Xuewu looked at Ji Weidong's envious and jealous expression and couldn't help but splash the tea in his cup at Ji Weidong. Ji Weidong dodged, but it was an empty dodge because the water in Li Xuewu's cup had already been drunk.

"Go, go, go, I'm so sleepy I can't stand it. Let's finish the interrogation early and get some sleep. But I guess we won't be able to sleep early today."

"Anyway, it's your unit that is the main organizer, and we are assisting. We listen to you, hahahaha."

Li Xuewu took a notebook and pen from his desk and followed the two out the door.

The detention room was at one end of the station, and the interrogation room was right next to it. The police station's detention room was now "overcrowded."

The little punks caught a few days ago had nowhere to stay. Old Xing and the others handcuffed them one by one and made them squat in the corner of the wall looking at the wall skin.

Old Xing and Wu Zi stood at the door of the interrogation room and greeted Li Xuewu, "Li Suo, Shen Suo has already taken people in."

Li Xuewu let Ji Weidong go first, looked at the police officers on alert with guns at the door of the detention room, and then looked at the large Type 54 pistols on Old Xing and Wu Zi's waists, smiled and said, "The case cannot be relaxed for a day. While guarding against the outside, also guard against the inside, guard against them having small movements."

Old Xing nodded, "Li Suo, don't worry, Shen Suo has instructions. Everyone is wearing eye masks, mouth plugs, handcuffs, and shackles."

Wu Zi looked at Li Xuewu, smiled, and pointed to the roof, "Shen Suo has placed two machine guns on the roof, and there are two at the entrance and the lobby. Everyone has canceled their vacation, and the detention room and interrogation room here are temporarily isolated from the normal office area."

Li Xuewu nodded. He didn't think Shen Fang was overreacting. These people had been operating in the capital for so many years, and there were always some tentacles touching people in all walks of life.

He patted Wu Zi on the shoulder, nodded to Old Xing, and went into the room.

The room was very simple, with two tables, four chairs, a long bench. Rose was handcuffed to an interrogation chair. On the side sat a man in a Zhongshan suit from the Investigation Department and a female police officer in a police uniform, both spreading out notebooks on the table, obviously recorders. Ji Weidong and Shen Fang were sitting opposite Rose.

Li Xuewu walked to Ji Weidong's side, pulled out a chair, and sat down, looking at the cramped woman handcuffed to the interrogation chair.

Seeing Li Xuewu come in, the woman in the chair couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you could let me go? Why..."

Li Xuewu waved his hand, "Don't worry, listen to me. It's like this, what I promised you will definitely be done, but there must be a procedure, right? At that time, it was also for the sake of pursuing the fleeing personnel, so we acted in an emergency and asked some relevant questions, which were not comprehensive. Now we will formally inquire about you. I need you to truthfully explain your problems to us, including your affiliation problems."

The woman said with relief, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll explain." She was escorted back with David. Although she was wearing an eye mask, David groaned all the way, obviously tortured.

Ji Weidong signaled to the recorder and began to ask, "Name, age, native place, and relationship with this."

The woman obviously had psychological preparation and said everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"My name is Wei Shuwen, 42 years old, from the capital. I went to the wartime capital with my father who was doing business. After graduating from middle school, I entered the training class. After graduation, I was arranged to return to the occupied area to work as a telegraph operator, and have been staying here ever since."

Wei Shuwen took a breath and said, "I haven't been in contact with anyone else. With the reduction of business and our scope of activities entering a predicament, we have all been in a semi-stagnant state. The Gunman hasn't sent me any news for a long time, and the radio station has been sealed by me on the ceiling of my home toilet."

Speaking of this, Wei Shuwen frowned and said, "Until two years ago, it was said that the group leader was changed, and the specific work was subject to the arrangement of the new group leader, who contacted me alone."

Wei Shuwen looked at Li Xuewu and the three anxiously and said, "Even after receiving the content of the change, I waited for a long time without receiving news from my superiors. I just reported my situation to him according to the procedure. Until the day before yesterday, I suddenly received a letter from him. This is the process of how I did these things."

Shen Fang saw Wei Shuwen's excitement, waved his hand to comfort her, and said, "Do you know the identity of the Gunman?"

Wei Shuwen nodded, "We knew each other before the second occupation. His name is Zhou Chunlai, a local."

Shen Fang nodded and continued to ask, "Then do you know anyone else?"

Wei Shuwen nodded, "I know some, and I saw them from the telegrams. At first, the Gunman translated them himself and handed them to me. Later, the situation became more and more severe. Sometimes he would hand them to me for translation and transmission."

Ji Weidong nodded and said, "Tell me."

Wei Shuwen saw that the three of them were very polite, so she gradually lost her nervousness, and her words became coherent.

"The God of Wealth in charge of finance should be surnamed Dong, also a local, but he didn't come with us. He was sent by Mr. Zheng. This was also known when the Gunman was sending telegrams to the south."

Wei Shuwen thought for a while and said, "The action team leader is named Liu Wenhua. I have seen this person. He also has a fellow villager, codenamed Postman. The orders given to me were all passed through him. Sometimes they were disguised letters, sometimes notes, but I have never seen him."

Li Xuewu and the three knew the news of the Postman again, and he was a fellow villager of the Ant. It seems that it was right not to rush to catch the Ant.

"Is Liu Wenhua's son also one of yours?"

Wei Shuwen shook her head when she heard Li Xuewu's question, "I really don't know about this. I haven't sent a telegram for nearly 7 years. Obviously, I changed the contact method with my superiors."

Ji Weidong asked again, "Do you know anything about others?"

Wei Shuwen thought for a while and said, "There should be someone with a special codename. I'm not sure. He came later. After the second occupation, the Gunman once asked me to contact the superiors to see how to deal with this person. Later, the Gunman received the telegram himself, so I don't know the follow-up, but the person's name should be Omiya Seiichi."

Li Xuewu and the three looked at each other. Shen Fang asked, "Do you know anything else?"

Wei Shuwen thought for a while and shook her head, "I really don't know. I have become accustomed to a peaceful life. I really want to forget many things forever. I really haven't been in contact with this for many years. I really can't think of any other situation."

Li Xuewu squinted and asked, "Besides working as a telegraph operator, have you engaged in any other activities, such as using sex for social interaction?"

Hearing Li Xuewu's question, Wei Shuwen said very seriously even though her hands were handcuffed, "I have done many wrong things, and I am reflecting on myself and correcting myself. What I did was also a different position. In the final analysis, my original intention was to sell my life for the country, but I just took the wrong path. But it's not to the point of ruining myself for work, and I don't allow you to insult my personality."

Seeing Wei Shuwen answer this question righteously, Ji Weidong also squinted and asked, "Since you reflected, why did you sink for so many years and then work for them again? Why didn't you report it actively back then?"

Wei Shuwen nodded, "It was my mistake. I secretly got married and had children back then. I was afraid that my children would be affected and in danger, so I never reported it. This time it was the same. They threatened my children and family. I had no choice, sob sob sob."

As she spoke, Wei Shuwen cried. With her hands handcuffed to the iron chair, she could only bury her head and make a wuwu crying sound, letting the tears drip onto the metal handcuffs on her hands.

Li Xuewu tapped the table with his pen and said, "Control your emotions. We are different from yours. We won't threaten you, nor will we deceive you. Your previous appearance of wanting to leave with money was to avoid bringing trouble to your family, right?"

Wei Shuwen nodded while crying, trying hard to control her emotions.

Li Xuewu said again, "Considering your situation, we will write your attitude and performance in the report. As long as you cooperate with us, we will help you apply for a sentence reduction. You can still stay with your husband and children. After all, you don't want your husband to lose his wife and your children to lose their mother, right?"

Wei Shuwen nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, "I will cooperate."

Li Xuewu looked at Wei Shuwen and asked seriously, "Are you sure the God of Wealth you mentioned is surnamed Dong, and you have no relatives here, right?"

Wei Shuwen nodded, "I'm sure. It's not allowed to have relatives in a group. The surname of the God of Wealth was also seen when the superiors replied."

Li Xuewu and the three looked at each other. Finally, Li Xuewu said, "In this way, we understand your situation. We will investigate later. As long as it matches what you said, what we said will be fulfilled. Also, I personally guarantee that it will not affect your image in front of your family. So please actively cooperate with the management work during detention and trial. I am still looking forward to your return to normal life, and I also believe that this day will not be too long."

Li Xuewu looked at Ji Weidong as he spoke. Ji Weidong saw Wei Shuwen looking at him expectantly, so he nodded.

Wei Shuwen saw Ji Weidong nod and cried with joy again, kowtowing to Li Xuewu and the three repeatedly.

Shen Fang stood up and called out to the door. Two male police officers came in, unlocked Wei Shuwen's handcuffs, and took Wei Shuwen, who was still bowing, out of the interrogation room.

Li Xuewu and the three read Wei Shuwen's interrogation record again. Ji Weidong finished reading first and put the interrogation record on the table and asked, "How high is the credibility?"

Shen Fang would not easily express his opinion. Ji Weidong did not mean to ask Shen Fang, but looked at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu put the finished record on the table, thought for a while and said, "Send someone to investigate her family from the side, find her radio station, and then verify her words from Zhou Chunlai's mouth. If there is no excessive situation about Wei Shuwen in other people's confessions, then what she said is the truth."

Ji Weidong nodded, "Then let's do it this way. The work of investigating and obtaining the radio station will be handed over to the comrades in the police station. Work hard."

Shen Fang saw that the two had made a decision, so he nodded, "Then I will arrange it," and went out to arrange it.

Li Xuewu smiled and looked at Ji Weidong. This guy finally understood his routine. Share the benefits with everyone. It is appropriate to hand over small gains to Shen Fang.

Not eating alone is Li Xuewu's consistent standard for dealing with people.

The two didn't idle while waiting for Shen Fang, and discussed the focus of the next interrogation.

According to the established plan, the next interrogation will be the Gunman, Zhou Chunlai, who disguised himself as a gun warehouse keeper. He was the first to be caught. Li Xuewu took the long gun and he was caught. Now that long gun is still in Li Xuewu's hand.

After Zhou Chunlai was caught, the people from the Investigation Department had been interrogating him, including using many extreme means, but old-fashioned personnel like this have rich resistance experience, otherwise it would be impossible to live from that era to the present.

Li Xuewu didn't think Zhou Chunlai's mouth was very hard. This person was a silent character when he was in the Security Section. The more such people are, the more depressed they live, and there must be some points that can be broken, but the Investigation Department didn't find them.

Soon, Shen Fang brought Zhou Chunlai into the interrogation room, still escorted by two people. Zhou Chunlai was very calm when he saw Li Xuewu, obviously having faced many problems during the interrogation and detention in the past few days.

After the two male police officers handcuffed Zhou Chunlai and went out, Li Xuewu smiled and greeted Zhou Chunlai, "How is it? Is the detention environment of the Investigation Department better or is this one better? If this one is better, you have to cherish it, because the case is over, and everyone who should be caught is with you. You may be transferred soon."

Because Zhou Chunlai was Li Xuewu's former subordinate, Li Xuewu knew more about Zhou Chunlai, so Ji Weidong and Shen Fang didn't ask questions.

Zhou Chunlai looked at Ji Weidong and Shen Fang, and then shifted his gaze back to Li Xuewu.

"How did you find me? I don't think I have any loopholes."

Li Xuewu smiled and shook his head, "It's a simple matter. After I entered the factory, I had the habit of taking a nap, and others followed me. Only you didn't like the habit of taking a nap, but went out for a stroll. Where did you go?"

Zhou Chunlai's unconvinced expression paused slightly, "I don't believe you can see my mistake from this."

Li Xuewu looked at Zhou Chunlai's stubborn expression and said, "I said I have the habit of taking a nap, how could I go looking for you? It was Xu Ning. Xu Ning had been following Hu Zhengquan, but the coincidence was that every time Hu Zhengquan went to Tuanjie Lake to fish, you would go for a stroll."

Zhou Chunlai held his head high, "Many people go at noon. Your hindsight doesn't count."

Li Xuewu said mockingly, "Although there are people wandering around after lunch, your frequency of appearing in the people he knows is particularly high. You are really old and confused. You clearly knew we had an operation and you still went to contact Hu Zhengquan, and you also asked Xu Ning. You aren't cautious, hehe."

Zhou Chunlai asked incredulously, "You caught me just because of this?"

Li Xuewu lit a cigarette and said, "Hmm~ no, no, no, these are all appearances. I only suspected you. Even the discovery of our operation was only suspected by you. The reason I was sure it was you was that dead ghost Wang Jindong."

Hearing Li Xuewu mention Wang Jindong, Zhou Chunlai's face froze, "I don't understand what you mean."

Li Xuewu sneered, "Let's not play riddles here. The phone call I received on the first day I arrived reporting Hu Jinbu was made by you, right? Hehe, to be honest, I really have to thank you, but I won't say thank you, because I helped you get rid of a hidden danger."

Zhou Chunlai's face became very ugly, pursing his lips and staring at Li Xuewu's eyes, wanting to see how Li Xuewu knew.

Li Xuewu continued to stimulate Zhou Chunlai, "Do you know where you are worse than the Professor? You can't even play with a 20-year-old girl and you still want to fight me?"

Zhou Chunlai said anxiously, "Bullshit, that's because of her bastard uncle. What is she? It's that old hypocrite playing tricks behind my back."

Li Xuewu shook his head, "All you can give Wang Jindong is money. Every investigation of Hu Zhengquan was settled by you, right? Wang Jindong really deserves to die. I should really dig him out and shoot him again. He dares to take any money and leaves me trouble after he dies."

Zhou Chunlai shook his head, "You don't understand our style of doing things."

Li Xuewu nodded, "Hmm, I don't understand, but it doesn't prevent me from understanding. At the very least, the yellow-haired ones I caught are deeply affectionate to Lily, oh, the Professor. Wang Jindong wanted this from you too, right? We saw a different side of him when we caught him."

"Times are progressing, and people's thinking is also progressing. Money is not omnipotent, enjoyment is. Your thinking is only suitable for the turbulent era."

Zhou Chunlai was silent for a while, "It seems you really caught that woman, and even found the abandoned piece I haven't used for many years."

Li Xuewu smiled, "You don't think I can leisurely analyze failure experience here while still in the pursuit period, right? If they weren't all caught, could we turn around and interrogate you, this hard stone?"

Zhou Chunlai didn't care about Li Xuewu's mockery, but was a bit complacent. The enemy's insult is the best praise for himself.

"They were all deceived, hehe, Dong Wanchun played a good game. I didn't lose unjustly, but he didn't win either."

Li Xuewu nodded in agreement, "Tell me about it, I really want to hear it."

Zhou Chunlai looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You have already caught everyone, so you should know everything, right? Why come and ask me? It's not like I'll be pardoned if I explain clearly."

Li Xuewu and the three sneered and looked at each other. Li Xuewu continued, "You're dreaming, pardoned? That time has long passed. You can only keep a whole corpse if you look at my mood."

Zhou Chunlai said angrily, "Then why come and ask me? Humiliate me? Fine, you won, okay?"

Since Li Xuewu said the case was over, his death date was coming soon, and he was also afraid.

Li Xuewu waved his hand, "No, no, no, you thought wrong. I'm not here to humiliate you. Humiliating you is equal to humiliating myself. I just don't understand one thing and want to ask you for advice."

"Oh?" Zhou Chunlai's expression paused, and he asked puzzledly, "Is there anything you, Li Kezhang Li, don't understand?"

Li Xuewu smiled bitterly, "To tell you the truth, I knew the Professor, or Dong Wenwen, whom you know, a long time ago, and we were once lovers. But... hehe, do you know why it took so long to catch everyone? I was also deceived by her, and almost let her run away."

Zhou Chunlai was adjusted up and down by Li Xuewu, fluctuating, sometimes confused, sometimes understanding, sometimes angry, sometimes happy.

"Oh ho? There's this origin? This is really... Hahahahaha!"

Li Xuewu looked at Zhou Chunlai laughing happily and showed a very depressed expression, which made Zhou Chunlai even happier.

"Hahaha, sorry, I really hahahaha, cough cough." It didn't stop until he laughed and coughed.

Li Xuewu looked at Zhou Chunlai depressedly, "I'm telling the truth, but I really want to figure this out. You are a bit unkind."

Zhou Chunlai is very happy now, not only did he lose, but the kid opposite also lost.

"Then I'll tell you what's inside." Zhou Chunlai really wanted to perform well on this issue to refute Li Xuewu's previous statement that he was not as good as Dong Wenwen.

"I, Dong Wanchun, Liu Wenhua, and Wei Shuwen are a group. I am the group leader, Dong Wanchun is responsible for logistics, Wei Shuwen is responsible for telegraphy, Liu Wenhua is responsible for detective work, I am responsible for action, and I have some extra-budgetary action team members under my command."

"Thank you." Zhou Chunlai thanked Li Xuewu for handing him a cigarette and lighting it.

"Hu Zhengquan came later. It was the second occupation, and I didn't want him, but the superiors insisted on putting a dark child here, so I had no choice. Later, our work gradually stagnated, and our group began to live our own lives. We could fool the superiors' telegrams if we could, and make them up if we couldn't. If we couldn't make them up, we would find them from newspapers."

Zhou Chunlai wanted to laugh as he spoke, "We felt that we didn't know each other when we met, and felt that we might spend our lives like this. But Dong Wanchun didn't want to, and always wanted to make trouble."

"Hu Zhengquan's identity problem was really troublesome at the beginning. Every time it was solved with real money, our savings soon bottomed out. Because of passive sabotage, the superiors didn't give us money, which caused a vicious cycle. It was also the reason I used you to get rid of Wang Jindong. This person is too greedy."

After saying this, he looked at Li Xuewu proudly, "This is my last frontal activity, and it was really successful."

Li Xuewu nodded, "Indeed, your four-two-thousand-jin move was really used well."

Zhou Chunlai was very open now, but became humble instead, "It doesn't count as anything, a strategy that can't be on the table."

"Dong Wanchun contacted me three years ago, saying that the money was gone and he couldn't live, and wanted to get money and go abroad. I felt it was impossible when I heard it, so I ignored him. I didn't expect him to find his niece and secretly train her."

Li Xuewu asked puzzledly, "We broke up three years ago. She was admitted to university, why would she do this profession? It's not worth it."

Zhou Chunlai looked at Li Xuewu and smiled "hehe", "That's a beast, unscrupulous."

Li Xuewu instantly understood what Zhou Chunlai meant. Shen Fang and Ji Weidong both frowned.

"What happened to Dong Wanchun? He resisted when you were caught, right? Hehe, he is different from me, he is a lunatic."

Li Xuewu nodded, "Dead, shot to death by me, two shots, one in the hind leg, one in the back heart."

Zhou Chunlai took a puff of cigarette, "Deserved, he deserves to die, he did too many evils and implicated too many people."

Ji Weidong looked at the side and asked, "And then?"

Zhou Chunlai raised his eyes to look at Ji Weidong, a little kid, disdainfully, "Later? Later he let his niece use the identity of a student to operate, first as a professor, a foreign professor, then let the foreign professor contact foreign affairs personnel, bypassing me, and contacted the current godfather of the fruit. These abandoned pieces of ours were also used as waste, and began to be coerced by Dong Wanchun to become information sellers."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "You are the group leader, didn't you stop it?"

Zhou Chunlai smiled bitterly and helplessly, "How to stop it? People are pointing with real money. And me? Superior instructions? Hehe, Liu Wenhua is the most unbearable, took out that set, began to play machine games, play with women, raise women, and brought his son in."

"Only Wei Shuwen has been in single-line contact with me, so Dong Wanchun didn't contact her, but later he asked for her contact information, but never activated her, but activated her codename."

Ji Weidong raised his eyebrows and asked, "So Dong Wenwen saying she is Rose is also correct?"

Zhou Chunlai laughed, "You will never understand this if I don't say it. Dong Wenwen's codename is Professor. Her loser uncle made a buckle for her, playing two roles alone. Sometimes she ordered herself to sleep with others. It's really lacking virtue."

Li Xuewu and the three looked at each other. Ji Weidong frowned and asked, "Dong Wenwen is also with your internal?"

Zhou Chunlai curled his lips, "Liu Wenhua, Hu Zhengquan, her uncle, and the fellow villager of Liu Wenhua found by her uncle."

"Dong Wanchun is the mastermind behind the scenes, standing his niece in front, and setting up a protective identity for his niece in front. In this way, the codename of Professor is a virtual role that issues orders. Once there is danger, you will definitely chase after Professor. At this time, Professor may be a real person. Let me think, you won't chase after Wei Shuwen, right? Where did you run to? Foreign affairs area?"

Li Xuewu squinted and asked, "Tell me about this person."

Zhou Chunlai saw that Li Xuewu and the others were avoiding the expression, so he smiled proudly, but said, "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's already at this point, what else can't be said, but I know very little about this person. He is Dong Wanchun's courier, and can be regarded as Dong Wanchun's shield."

Li Xuewu thought for a while and said, "Who do you think knows his identity?"

Zhou Chunlai asked with a smile, "You didn't catch him, right? He hides very deeply. I have never known who this person is, but Hu Zhengquan should know. Dong Wanchun and Hu Zhengquan don't know how to discuss it. Both are single-line contacts. I am just a security guard."

It seems that Zhou Chunlai also said what he could say. The chat environment created by Li Xuewu for him was very comfortable, so he didn't hide anything.

"Did you get the firearms and weapons? From the gun warehouse?"

Zhou Chunlai shook his head, "How could it be? Don't look at the fact that I am the only one in charge of the gun warehouse, but that is surface work, and it cannot be wrong. Those weapons were confiscated before the occupation and left in the safe house. Later, I didn't know about the update of weapons."

Ji Weidong whispered something to Li Xuewu, Li Xuewu nodded and whispered something back to Ji Weidong with a bad smile.

Ji Weidong looked at Li Xuewu with slanted eyes, said "fuck", ignored Li Xuewu, and asked Zhou Chunlai, "Has Wei Shuwen engaged in sabotage activities? Or participated in your decision-making?"

Zhou Chunlai looked at the three and thought for a while, "It has nothing to do with her. She is also a bitter life. I know she secretly got married and had children. This is the reason why I haven't looked for her all these years. She has never participated in action, only telegraph work, and hasn't sent telegrams for a long time."

It seems that Zhou Chunlai also had the intention of protecting Wei Shuwen, so he said good things about Wei Shuwen. These words can only be used as corroboration, and still depend on the investigation results.

Li Xuewu took the cigarette butt for Zhou Chunlai and asked, "Is there anything else to explain?"

Zhou Chunlai thought for a while and said, "I'll die if I die. I'm so old, I have nothing to regret. My salary is in the passbook in my cabinet at home. Please donate it to the welfare home. Distribute my personal belongings to my neighbors."

Li Xuewu and the three looked at Zhou Chunlai explaining his funeral affairs between laughter and tears, and couldn't help interrupting, "Let you explain is to ask you if there is anything else to explain about this case, not to ask you about the explanation after death. Your attitude is okay, we will make a fair conclusion for you. Keep these words for that time."

Zhou Chunlai also smiled awkwardly, thought for a while and said, "No more, we are just a group of fish that slipped through the net, a small organization."

Ji Weidong nodded to Shen Fang, and Shen Fang arranged for someone to take Zhou Chunlai back.

When Shen Fang came back, he brought Hu Zhengquan, also known as Omiya Seiichi, in. The same procedure, still Li Xuewu asked the main questions.

"How is your hand? Does it still hurt?"

Omiya Seiichi raised his eyes to look at Li Xuewu, "My name is Omiya Seiichi. I have been under the leadership of the branch of the Ume Agency since 1938, and I was assigned to the steel enterprise. There are many people like me, and later I was handed over to the Gunman for management."

Li Xuewu and the three were very surprised by Omiya Seiichi's active confession. They thought they needed Li Xuewu to "treat" him again.

The three didn't make a sound, just watching Omiya Seiichi explain there himself.

"In 1949, the situation was bad. I said I wanted to go home, but I couldn't contact my superior, so I could only contact through the Gunman. All these years, I have reported all the projects I participated in to the Gunman, until more than two years ago."

Omiya Seiichi swallowed subconsciously, but seeing Li Xuewu and the three looking at him, he summoned the courage to continue, "I was seduced by Rose, betrayed the Gunman's leadership, contacted the Professor alone, and handed over the subsequent relevant materials to the Professor."

Seeing Omiya Seiichi finish speaking, Li Xuewu asked, "We had policies in those years, why didn't you think about surrendering?"

Omiya Seiichi gritted his teeth, "I have killed people. In the training center, they were your people. Not only prisoners of war, but students and women were also killed by me."

Ji Weidong stood up and glared at Omiya Seiichi.

Li Xuewu tapped the table, reminded Ji Weidong, and asked again, "Why did you start working for the Professor again? Do you know the Professor's background?"

Omiya Seiichi looked at Ji Weidong calmly, "One is a threat, the other is beauty and money. He promised me that I could get money to support my family and retire after I went home."

Li Xuewu pulled Ji Weidong to sit down and asked, "Have you seen the Professor? How did you contact?"

Omiya Seiichi looked at Li Xuewu again, "I haven't seen her. The one you killed that day was the God of Wealth who monitored me. The one who drove to pick up the documents was Rose who seduced me with beauty. As for others, I don't know much."

It seems that it was really like what Zhou Chunlai said, Omiya Seiichi was also deceived by the Dong family uncle and niece.

Li Xuewu squinted and asked, "Seems like one person is missing, right?"

Omiya Seiichi shook his head, "No, I only know so many people."

Li Xuewu tapped the table and asked, "Then how did the Professor contact you?"

Omiya Seiichi said definitely, "Letters, notes, that guard. The phone call that night was made by me to the guard. You can't find out where I called, because the phone of the guard and I are connected. No dialing, just pick it up and talk. All the calls I received were monitored."

Li Xuewu always felt that Omiya Seiichi's state was not right. It was too easy to explain, as if he was seeking death.

"As for the documents, you have also seen them. They all use a line collector, first shoot the arrow over, the tail of the arrow has fishing line, and the documents are passed over with a pulley. After passing, the arrow and fishing line are taken back with the line collector. The money is fished up from the guard with a fishing rod. There will never be any contact between people."

Li Xuewu hugged his arms and asked, "Why kill Engineer Han? Is he also related to you?"

Omiya Seiichi shook his head, "No, it's because he owed his hand to see things he shouldn't see. He left first at the banquet that day, and was removed by the cleaner I arranged when I went to the toilet. The body is in Kunming Lake."

Ji Weidong stared at Omiya Seiichi, who confessed happily, "You should know what will happen if you say these things."

Omiya Seiichi nodded, "I was prepared when I left home. Living for so many years is stealing life."

Shen Fang saw that Li Xuewu and the two were frowning at Omiya Seiichi, so he "cough cough" and said, "You know our policy, you may be pardoned, so it's better to say some things."

Omiya Seiichi was full of death, looked at Shen Fang and said, "I have explained everything I can explain. I believe you have already searched for the materials for so many years, otherwise you wouldn't interrogate me. I admit that I did it all."

For those who seek death, the three of them have no way. The clue of the postman may be broken.

"I advise you not to be self-defeating. What they promised you may be deceiving you, otherwise you would have gone home long ago, right?"

Omiya Seiichi looked at Li Xuewu, "You are very powerful and experienced. I don't hate you, but please respect my decision."

Ji Weidong saw that Omiya Seiichi was not listening to reason, so he waved his hand to take him away. If he wants to die, fulfill him.

Shen Fang took people out. Li Xuewu and the two were gloomy. Now the only clue about the postman is Omiya Seiichi, but this person seems to be hiding for the postman. I don't know what magic the postman has.

"What to do? The clue is broken." Ji Weidong took out a cigarette and smelled it, felt a little retching, and put the cigarette back.

Li Xuewu also didn't want to smoke. He had smoked two boxes all night, and he was nauseous.

"What to do, cold mix. I didn't intend to really catch him anyway. Just a traffic officer, how big a wave can he make."

Ji Weidong nodded, "Fortunately, there is still the Professor. Let's see if we can open the situation from her."

"Go in. With so many people watching, don't lose face." Shen Fang said at the door, and brought people to escort Dong Wenwen into the room.

Dong Wenwen saw Li Xuewu at the door, so she hesitated at the door, and had to come in after she couldn't hide.

The female police officer and the male police officer locked Dong Wenwen in the chair. The shackles were not unlocked, just in case she had other ideas.

"Xuewu, I really am not..."

Li Xuewu waved his hand, waited for Shen Fang to sit down, and then said, "Dong Wenwen, I ask you now, will my participation in the interrogation affect your confession? If you feel it's inconvenient, you can raise it, but please address me normally. Let's respect each other."

Dong Wenwen saw Li Xuewu finish speaking, and tears flowed down again.

Ji Weidong tapped the table, didn't care about Dong Wenwen's tears, "Dong Wenwen, now ask you the first question, your codename."

Dong Wenwen saw that it was not Li Xuewu asking, but the personnel from the Investigation Department she saw that day, so she naturally knew his identity.

"I really am Rose, that day I was..."

Ji Weidong frowned and said, "Then who is Wei Shuwen? Who is Dong Wanchun? And who is David?"

Dong Wenwen was obviously stunned when she heard Ji Weidong's words. When she was escorted out of the room, she had already covered her clothes, and her mouth was blocked, so she didn't know that others were escorted back together.

Ji Weidong saw Dong Wenwen stunned, so he said, "What attitude did we use to persuade you from the beginning? And how did you deceive us? I told you that you could make meritorious service, right? What about you?"

Dong Wenwen said anxiously, "Listen to me, I really am Rose. It was my uncle who said so. I am Rose. What I said about being coerced is also true, wuwuwu, really, I was wrong, I shouldn't have deceived you, wuwuwu, it was David, it was my uncle who kept coercing me, later David also coerced me, really."

Li Xuewu sighed, "Don't make up lies anymore. We can say the names of Wei Shuwen and David. Do you think we can't bring people back? Don't hold onto any illusions. The two words 'foreign affairs' can't protect David, and they can't protect you either."

Dong Wenwen didn't know why things had progressed to this point, but still emphasized, "I really listened to my uncle and was instructed by him."

Ji Weidong asked, "Then I ask you, why obstruct our pursuit, why not explain the facts the first time? Instead, arrange for Wei Shuwen to handle the documents and mail them to the Steel Mill?"

Dong Wenwen said blankly, "I don't know, I really don't know. Li Xuewu, you know me, please believe me."

Li Xuewu shook his head, "You are Lily, right? Don't need us to call David and those yellow-haired ones to identify you, right? Why bother?"

Dong Wenwen said to Li Xuewu, "I don't want to either, it's my uncle, he coerced me, what can I do?"

Li Xuewu nodded, "Maybe there is indeed this aspect, then what made you perform the mission again and again?"

Dong Wenwen was suddenly asked, not knowing how to answer Li Xuewu's words.

Ji Weidong was quite capable, sneering, "What else could it be? They gave too much."

Li Xuewu looked at Ji Weidong and said to Dong Wenwen, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you say it or not. We just want to hear your attitude and see how the interrogation report should be written. Personally, I still advise you to think about your grandmother. It's not easy for the old lady to raise you."

Dong Wenwen sat slumped in the chair with a gray face, "One wrong step, every step wrong. Who can I blame? Blame my beast uncle? Hehe, blame my parents for dying early and leaving me alone? It's all money's fault."

Li Xuewu and the three looked at Dong Wenwen without saying a word, but their expressions were different, obviously their inner thoughts were also considering Dong Wenwen's situation.

"I know, I can't live. Three years ago, I still had a chance to regret. Two years ago, I also had time to repent. Only now I don't have it. Xuewu, you came too late, I am too deep."

Li Xuewu stood up and walked out the door, leaving Ji Weidong and Shen Fang looking at each other. The recorder was lowering his head and recording something.

Looking at Li Xuewu's background, Dong Wenwen cried and said, "I'm not worth him doing this for me."

As soon as Li Xuewu went out, he looked at Zhou Dewang and Zhou Laosan squatting in the corner, and then looked at the little black fat man with his arm in a sling and five or six half-grown children like punks. These people probably saw that the matter was very big, and were secretly looking at Li Xuewu's expression.

"Are there any parents looking for people?"

Wu Zi looked at the few people squatting, "Yes, they have been begging for mercy, but they were all blocked back by Shen Suo."

Li Xuewu looked at them and said to Wu Zi, "Tell their families to prepare 50 cents for bullets. No need to prepare a coffin, cremate them uniformly."

"Clang." Seven or eight big guys sat on the ground, some sluggish, some painful, some begging for mercy.

Li Xuewu ignored Wu Zi's complaining eyes and walked toward the empty lobby. As he walked, he lit a cigarette, and tears dripped onto the brick floor of the hallway with the drifting smoke.

Twenty minutes later, Ji Weidong and Shen Fang walked out of the interrogation room. In the hallway, the two looked at Li Xuewu standing in the lobby, lit a cigarette each, and walked to Li Xuewu's side.

"Everything explained, said sorry to you. Feng Xiang was killed by her own decision. Everything is as Zhou Chunlai said. For the past three years, she has been engaged in this kind of activity under her uncle's control. She had her own car, her own big house, completed her studies, became a 'background' figure in the eyes of classmates, and gradually stopped resisting."

"As for her deceiving you, it's also very simple. She felt that you couldn't catch Rose, and didn't dare to catch David, so the clue would break at her, and she would have room to maneuver. She was preparing to secretly take out the film and escape."

Li Xuewu nodded without saying anything, "Did you mention the postman?"

Ji Weidong shook his head, "Said let us stop checking, that person is just a traffic officer, didn't participate in the action, all their families rely on him to send money, no one will say it."

Shen Fang puffed out a cigarette, "It's very like a rule in the southern road. This person is a buckle, the buckle that everyone finally guarantees, no one dares to untie it."

Li Xuewu nodded, "Dong Wenwen's grandmother is still there. It seems that Omiya Seiichi's family is also under the control of this postman. It's really a mysterious person."

Shen Fang said, "The comrades who went to Wei Shuwen's house just came back. I saw the radio station, it's all rusted."

Li Xuewu said to Ji Weidong, "You write the conclusion, we sign it. This Wei Shuwen can be raised, it's just a different position, and she is also a meritorious person of the year. The rest of the people have nothing to say, just do what should be done. Those few boys squatting there, shoot them all, none of them are good things."

Ji Weidong didn't even look at that side. These people were completely outside his scope of concern.

"What you said, I will report it. Let's go, leave the rest to Shen Suo."

Li Xuewu looked at Ji Weidong who threw away the cigarette butt and asked, "Not interrogating those yellow-haired ones?"

Ji Weidong waved his hand, "What's there to interrogate about those yellow-haired ones? They explained almost everything when they went out. They are all outsiders, nothing important. Let Shen Suo take my people to interrogate them. We have a special set of procedures to treat them."

Actually, there is no need to interrogate. The jeep is Dong Wenwen's, the gun flowed out from another factory. When the Investigation Department found it, they didn't know their gun was lost.

The one who instructed those punks to threaten Li Xuewu's family was the cleaner, and the one who handled the body was also the cleaner.

"I'm going to the Steel Mill to meet the Ant father and son. Just now the Steel Mill sent news that the Ant's son is still trying to find the document. It's really fun, I'm going to watch the play, are you going?"

Li Xuewu yawned and shook his head, "No, I have to go home. It's been 24 hours, I can't stand it. You watch the play yourself, I'll go to sleep."

Ji Weidong smiled and patted Li Xuewu, hugged Li Xuewu's shoulder and walked out, knowing that Li Xuewu must have cried just now, his eyes were still red, this is also a sentimental man.
