Therefore, he cleverly drew his gun from his waist, just in case.

Liang Damin was also surprised when Qiu Jingwen suddenly barged in, and he jumped up from his chair in fright.

Jiang Yuping, who was sitting in the chair, never expected that her husband would suddenly appear in front of her.

Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the quiet atmosphere was finally broken.

Shao Jian looked at Qiu Jingwen and, seeing that his hands were empty, said:

"Qiu Jingwen, what are you doing?"

Qiu Jingwen did not respond, but looked at his wife Jiang Yuping:

“Yu Ping, how could you be so foolish as to take the blame for me? What does Liu Xianghai’s death have to do with you? I was the one who killed him, why are you taking the blame for me?”

“Yu Ping, I know you don’t want anything to happen to me, but I’m the one who killed him. I’m your husband, I’m a man. How can I let you take the blame for me?”

Jiang Yuping was stunned by her husband's question.

She found it somewhat puzzling.

But her intelligence allowed her to quickly understand her husband's meaning.

It's not that she's taking the blame for her husband, but that her husband is taking the blame for her!

My vision blurred instantly, and tears welled up in my eyes, almost spilling over.

Liang Damin remained silent, unsure of what to do.

Everything happened so suddenly.

He didn't know why Qiu Jingwen had suddenly come over.

Did someone tip him off, knowing that his wife Jiang Yuping had been taken to the investigation room?

Jiang Yuping was so moved that tears were about to fall. She was about to speak when Qiu Jingwen interrupted her.

“Yu Ping, thank you for your love and dedication to me over the years. I shouldn’t have told you about my situation. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to confess to the crime of murdering Liu Xianghai on my behalf.”

At this point, he turned to look at Shao Jian and smiled calmly.

"Shao Jian, may I speak with you privately?"

Yes, Qiu Jingwen directly addressed Shao Jian, deliberately creating an adversarial relationship.

Shao Jian didn't mind. He looked at Qiu Jingwen, and without any hesitation, immediately agreed:

"Can".

Wu Dinghuai objected:

Director Shao, you can't do this.

As he spoke, he walked over to Qiu Jingwen in a few steps and immediately searched him to see if he was carrying any weapons such as guns or daggers. As Shao Jian's capable assistant, he couldn't let his leader be in any danger.

Qiu Jingwen raised his hands and smiled gently:

"Don't worry, I didn't bring any weapons. I'm here to turn myself in. I just want to have a good talk with your leaders."

Wu Dinghuai touched Qiu Jingwen for a moment, then shook his head at Shao Jian, indicating that Qiu Jingwen was not carrying any weapons.

Shao Jian looked at Qiu Jingwen, then at everyone else, and then said to Wu Dinghuai:

"Dinghuai, you and Liang Ke and Zhao Le take Jiang Yuping to the next room first. I'd like to have a private talk with Qiu Jingwen. We should have talked about this a long time ago."

Wu Dinghuai had no choice but to carry out orders. Together with Liang Damin and Zhao Le, he took Jiang Yuping to the next room to await Shao Jian's next instructions.

After the four of them left, Shao Jian looked at Qiu Jingwen.

"Qiu Jingwen, since you've come to turn yourself in, sit down and tell me about your situation."

Qiu Jingwen sat down without ceremony and looked at Shao Jian, asking:

"Shao Jian, I don't know if you've discovered Liu Xianghai's true identity?"

Shao Jian asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Oh, Liu Xianghai? What is Liu Xianghai's identity?"

Qiu Jingwen concluded that Shao Jian already knew that Liu Xianghai was Liu Han, and probably knew that the code name was Rattlesnake. Otherwise, Liang Damin would not have used a cobra to test his reaction when they were playing chess at his house on Saturday.

Then, he looked at Shao Jian and smiled gently.

"Okay, Liu Han was a Kuomintang agent who infiltrated the Kuomintang in the early days of the People's Republic of China. His code name was Rattlesnake. I was his subordinate. My code name was Cobra. I killed Liu Han."

Shao Jian wasn't particularly surprised by what he heard; it was within his reasoning and judgment.

He could also sense that Qiu Jingwen had genuinely come to turn himself in.

So he picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, took one out, and handed it to Qiu Jingwen.

Qiu Jingwen accepted the cigarette without ceremony and said thank you.

Shao Jian lit his own cigarette, but instead of lighting it for Qiu Jingwen, he handed the match to Qiu Jingwen.

After lighting a cigarette, Qiu Jingwen looked at Shao Jian.

He didn't speak, but waited for Shao Jian to speak.

Shao Jian took a few puffs of his cigarette and looked at Qiu Jingwen.

"Since Liu Han was your superior and leader, why did you kill him?"

He exhaled a smoke ring and stared into Qiu Jingwen's eyes as he asked.
