Chapter 112 Double Doubt

the next day.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Secret Service Section Chief's Office.

"At around 7 o'clock last night, a fire broke out on the Seventeenth Street outside the road. When the water dragon team arrived, sixty-seven out of ten of the house had been burned. A charred body was found in the house. It is reported that the victim was the editor of the supplement of "Afternoon News". Zhao Yuqing, the cause of the fire is still under investigation..."

Gao Kejian read the newsletter in the newspaper.

Qi Yue sat on the chair opposite the desk.

Gao Kejian put down the newspaper, and said approvingly: "It's done well, it's neat and tidy!"

Qi Yue said: "You are too much."

Gao Kejian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "A good news or a bad news, which one should I hear first?"

Qi Yue said with a smile: "Good news."

Gao Kejian said: "Li Yingxin signed the confession."

"Well, when did this happen?"

Qi Yue pretended to be surprised.

Gao Kejian said, "Last night."

Qi Yue said: "It seems that your strategy is correct."

Gao Kejian said: "Li Yingxin is a smart person. As long as you give him enough time and treat him well, he will think clearly sooner or later whether he should kill himself for benevolence or save himself wisely in troubled times."

Qi Yue said: "You're right. It's like this a lot of times. Smart people think a lot, and when they think a lot, they worry more. Simple-minded people are more likely to be deceived by others, but they are difficult to deal with. For example... "

Gao Kejian said, "For example, those poor guys who participated in the resistance against bandits."

Qi Yue nodded: "Section chief, the case of plotting to assassinate the emperor..."

Gao Kejian said: "The case is similar to what we have analyzed. According to Li Yingxin, the person hiding at the bottom of the well is named Wang Chunlin, whose alias is Wang Sen. His public identity is the owner of a restaurant near Huaihua Lane. Everyone in the restaurant, including Wang Chunlin's Daughter-in-law, all of them belong to the Central Committee!"

"Near Huaihua Lane? Which restaurant?"

"Xiaoxiangyuan, a Hunan restaurant. The next thing is the bad news. Last night, I sent people to arrest him overnight. Unfortunately, it was still a step too late."

Qi Yue asked: "The person ran away?"

Gao Kejian said: "A week ago, the Xiaoxiang Garden put up the Waidui sign, including Wang Chunlin's house. People went to the building and we had another joy."

Qi Yue said: "The accomplices were arrested, and they will definitely make preparations in advance."

Gao Kejian said: "I'm not sure now whether Li Yingxin really surrendered or fake surrender. According to the information he provided, none of them were caught. If he is said to be a fraudulent surrender, he can say everything that should be said." Having said that, the confession is also signed easily."

Qi Yue thought for a while: "On Central Street, how did Wang Chunlin escape?"

Gao Kejian said: "A driver named Zhang Fan from the transportation battalion directly under the 4th Army is a member of the Central Command. He made a hole in the bottom of the carriage and used sundries as a camouflage. The military vehicle was parked above the No. 8 well. The fence was invisible even from a high place, Wang Chunlin climbed out of the well, went directly into the carriage, put on the prepared military uniform, and fled without warning!"

"Is there no one else in the car?"

"The sergeant squad leader who led the team was bribed by the Central Command. The soldiers were on duty on the street at the time. When they got into the car, the squad leader only said that Wang Chunlin was in the car. Those big bastards, who would doubt their colleagues? Wang Chunlin was halfway Get out of the car and return home calmly."

"Have Zhang Fan and the monitor caught it?"

Gao Kejian sighed and shook his head.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

As soon as the door opened, Ning Zhiyuan walked in: "Section Chief, I'm back."

Gao Kejian jokingly said, "Look at the ashes on your face, did you come back on horseback?"

Ning Zhiyuan also smiled: "I came back by long-distance bus, the weather was too hot, so I opened the windows, this journey is similar to riding a horse."

Qi Yue stood up: "Brother Yuan."

Ning Zhiyuan patted Qi Yue on the shoulder encouragingly.

Gao Kejian said: "Zhiyuan, you came back at just the right time. Captain Liu died in the line of duty. During this period of time, the Secret Service Division was up and down, all relying on Qi Yue to work alone..."

There was another knock on the door.

Gao Kejian said, "Come in."

A police officer came in and put a folder on the table: "Section Chief, this is the list of anti-bandit prisoners transferred by the security team, a total of 19 people."

Gao Kejian opened the folder and browsed through it roughly: "I remember, there are 24 in total. Where are the other 5?"

The police officer respectfully said, "I signed the confession and was recruited by the security team."

Gao Kejian said, "Understood, you go out first."

The officers backed out.

On the list are the soldiers captured by the Anti-Union Independent Regiment. According to the past practice, the Puppet Manchukuo army recruited a group of prisoners who were willing to surrender every time they were captured in the "clearance campaign", and the rest were handed over to the local court for sentencing and imprisonment.

However, there are very few opportunities to go to court.

Even if there is, it is for the needs of public opinion.

"Those who would rather die than submit will be taken to the execution ground at six o'clock tomorrow morning for execution!"

Gao Kejian put down the folder in his hand.

Ning Zhiyuan immediately said: "Section Chief, leave this matter to me."

Gao Kejian said with a smile: "How can it be done? As the saying goes, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed. The couple haven't seen each other for so long, and they have to get up early tomorrow. Su Ya should blame me, the section chief, for being unkind."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "It's okay..."

Gao Kejian interrupted: "Let Qi Yue go, Qi Yue, is it okay?"

Qi Yue said, "No problem."

Gao Kejian said: "Go get ready, Zhiyuan and I still have something to discuss."

Qi Yue saluted, turned around and left.

"Zhiyuan, sit down."

Gao Kejian said.

Ning Zhiyuan sat down, picked up the folder and looked at it: "Section Chief, I remember that prisoners who resist bandits are usually sentenced directly, why this time..."

"This is what I asked for."

Gao Kejian said.

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned: "You asked for it?"

Gao Kejian said, "Don't you understand?"

Ning Zhiyuan thought for a while: "Are you planning to use this matter to test Qi Yue?"

Gao Kejian nodded: "That's right."

Ning Zhiyuan asked: "Why?"

Gao Kejian briefly described what happened recently.

Ning Zhiyuan said: "Qi Yue saved the emperor, and this time he got rid of Zhao Yuqing, do you still doubt him?"

Gao Kejian said: "No, I trust him, and because of trust, I have to be more suspicious!"

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned.

Gao Kejian said: "Zhiyuan, have you ever thought about it, Qi Yue is the deputy captain of the action team, if he is the Communist Party, does the Secret Service have any secrets?"

Ning Zhiyuan said: "I understand, executing these prisoners is still testing him."

Gao Kejian said: "Take a step back and say, even if he is a Communist Party and killed so many anti-unionists in the street, will his organization still trust him? The so-called forced to go to Liangshan, when things come to an end, he can go to Liangshan, no He has to go up, after this time, he has no way out!"
