No trace of espionage

Chapter 181 Doubtful Points in the Interrogation Record
Hao Ligang returned to his office and first called Miao Pengsheng, director of the Xuanwu Lake Sub-bureau.

"Director Miao, I'm Hao Ligang from the Secret Service."

"Captain Hao, what are your orders, sir?" Miao Pengsheng's respectful voice came from the phone.

"You immediately invite Manager Hu of the Jiangnan Automobile Company to your branch office. I will arrive later. I have a few questions to ask him." Hao Ligang said.

"Yes, yes, I will do it right away." Miao Pengsheng replied very happily.

Putting down the phone, Hao Ligang took Zhu Xiaoguang and others to the Xuanwu Lake branch office.

"Captain Hao, it's so late and you're still working. You're really conscientious and admirable." Miao Pengsheng continued at the gate of the bureau, and complimented him after saluting.

"Isn't Director Miao also the branch office?" Hao Ligang replied.

"Should be, should be." Miao Pengsheng said modestly.

"Uh!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Pengsheng hiccupped, and a stench of alcohol rushed over. Hao Ligang quickly covered his nose and mouth, and thought: "So I drank in the branch office, and the branch office is really my home."

"I'm too tired from work, so I just had a few drinks. Captain Hao, please." Miao Pengsheng smiled awkwardly, turned around and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Hao Ligang into the office.

"Director Miao, show me the report of the stolen truck." Hao Ligang said.

"Okay, okay." Miao Pengsheng said three good words in a row, turned around and left the office.

Quickly took the report record and handed it to Hao Ligang: "Captain Hao, please have a look."

Hao Ligang took it over and took a look. He saw that the report record was very simple. It said:

"Reporter: Hu Yuliang, Deputy Manager of Jiangnan Automobile Company

Report time: April 4 at 21:6 p.m.

Reason for reporting: The company's truck was stolen, vehicle number: Beijing-0714. "

"Has Hu Yuliang come?" Hao Ligang asked Miao Pengsheng after throwing the report record to Zhu Xiaoguang.

"Come on, come on, who dares to neglect what you told me." Miao Pengsheng laughed.

"This guy's beard is first-rate, no wonder he became the branch chief." Hao Ligang thought to himself.

"Director Miao, you're welcome, call Hu Yuliang in." Hao Ligang said.

"Okay, okay." Miao Pengsheng said three good words in succession, went out and brought a person in.

Hao Ligang looked like a man of medium build, neither fat nor thin, wearing a long coat and trousers, and cloth shoes on his feet.

He doesn't look like a deputy manager of the company, but a driver.

Hao Ligang didn't speak, but looked at Hu Yuliang coldly.

He wanted to put Hu Yuliang under psychological pressure.

After Hu Yuliang entered the door with a smile on his face, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Hao Ligang. Hao Ligang waved his hand and refused, but Hu Yuliang didn't care and put the cigarettes on the desk.

Hao Ligang saw that Hu Yuliang hadn't lost his position under the pressure of his gaze, so he felt that he was in line with his status.

"Your name is Hu Yuliang?" Hao Ligang asked.

"Yes, sir, my name is Hu Yuliang."

"Tell me how car No. 0714 was stolen."

"Yes. Sir, I am the deputy manager of Jiangnan Automobile Company. I am in charge of car dispatching and maintenance. At around 6:0714 this afternoon, I suddenly found that car No. [-] was missing. I searched the company for a while but couldn't find it, so I hurried to the branch office. Report the case." Hu Yuliang said.

"What is the main business of your company?" Hao Ligang asked.

"It's just to pull the goods for the owner, and charge some shipping fees." Hu Yuliang replied.

"How many trucks does the company have in total?"

"Thirteen."

"Are all the thirteen cars in the company today?"

"No, eight of them have gone out to do work, and five of them are parked in the company. Car No. 0714 is one of them."

"Who is the driver of this car? Is he not in the company?"

"The driver's name is Li Ermao. He was sick yesterday and took three days off. He didn't come to the company to work. The car keys were handed over to me, and I hung them on the wall in the office."

"Does your company have a guard?"

"Have."

"Didn't they notice that car No. 0714 was going out? Didn't they stop and ask?"

"I saw the car going out, but I didn't see who the driver was. I asked them, and they said the car was going fast, and they thought it was Li Ermao who drove it. Li Ermao usually drives very fast, so they didn't stop him."

"Hu Yuliang, the car keys are hanging in your office. Before the car was stolen, did anyone enter your office?"

"Sir, a lot of people came to my office this afternoon. There are drivers, cargo owners, and maintenance personnel. They are all acquaintances. I don't think anyone is suspicious."

"Hu Yuliang, now that car No. 0714 has been found, someone drove it to commit a crime and shot and killed a police officer in the police station. So, this matter is not as simple as you losing a car. Think about it, today Who has entered your office this afternoon, write down the list and give it to me."

Hao Ligang said with a sullen face.

"I knew the car was found, but shot the policeman? This, sir, was really not done by people from our company." Hu Yuliang's face changed greatly when he heard Hao Ligang's words, and he shook his hands quickly and said.

"Whether someone from your company did it or not is hard to come to a conclusion now, but one thing is for sure, the No. 0714 car belongs to your company, so you can't get away with it. To be honest, you yourself are very suspicious." Hao Ligang said sharply.

"No, no, sir, I'm wronged, how can I do such a thing. This..., isn't this a disaster that flew from the sky? Lost a car, and it's a disaster." Hu Yuliang rubbed his hands and muttered Said.

Hao Ligang's reaction was normal when he saw him, and he said calmly: "Now write down the people who entered and exited your office this afternoon, think about it carefully, and don't miss anything."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hu Yuliang repeatedly agreed, asked Miao Pengsheng for a pen and paper, went to the side and wrote down a string of names, and handed them to Hao Ligang.

Hao Ligang saw that there were five names: "Wei Duo, Zhou Qian, Zhang Yingke, Yang Yuan, Zhang Erke."

"What are their identities?" Hao Ligang asked.

"Wei Duo, Zhou Gan, and Zhang Yingke are businessmen. They asked me to discuss transportation. Yang Yuan is the driver, and Zhang Er is the company's maintenance personnel. They came together and asked me to sign the maintenance form." Hu Yuliang replied.

"Are these five people arranged in chronological order?" Hao Ligang asked.

"Yes. When Wei Duo came to work, it was almost six o'clock when Yang Yuan and Zhang Erke came to see me." Hu Yuliang replied.

"Then what did you do after six o'clock?" Hao Ligang asked.

"After Yang Yuan and Zhang Erke left, I drank tea in the office and didn't go anywhere." Hu Yuliang replied.

"When did you find out that the car was lost?" Hao Ligang asked.

"While drinking tea, I looked up at the wall and saw that the car key of car No. 0714 was gone. I looked out the window and saw that the car was gone. I panicked. I searched for it, but I couldn't find it. That's why I called the police." Hu Yuliang replied.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Hu Yuliang, if you think of something, report it to the sub-bureau and don't hide it, you know?"

"Yes, yes, definitely."

……

Hao Ligang returned to the Secret Service and showed Lin Chuang the record of the interrogation. After reading it, Lin Chuang immediately said, "Hu Yuliang has a problem..."
