Seeing Cheng Tie staring at him expectantly, Song Shutian smiled unkindly.

Actually, they had no other choice but to use this method to convey the information they wanted to know.

However, he genuinely felt a little embarrassed to use Cheng Tie, especially since Cheng Tie's father was ill. Come to think of it, this comrade was quite adorable.

"Don't worry, next time you see Liu Zhanyu, ask him if his friend has any medicine back home, and what your father's condition is. Tell him first, and if there is any medicine available, let him take it for now. When he comes back, we'll find someone to take a look. What do you think?"

Cheng Tie had no problem with it. "Um, Director Song, may I ask, is your friend really that capable?"

Song Shutian wouldn't make any guarantees for the other party. Jiang Qiao isn't a god; there are some illnesses that Jiang Qiao can't cure.

"We need a doctor to examine the patient to determine if it's treatable or not. Don't worry, we can only discuss this after the patient returns."

"But don't worry, as long as it can be cured, our friend will definitely do his best."

Song Shutian suddenly remembered something: "Shouldn't we have finished investigating our case?"

Cheng Tie sighed, "Don't count on it. The previous ones are still under investigation, but a lot more have come afterward, all targeting you guys. I doubt we'll be able to sort them out anytime soon. Just wait patiently. No matter what, the truth will eventually come out."

Cheng Tie couldn't really express his true feelings either. In his heart, he felt that Song Shutian and the others were fine, and what did those trivial matters matter?

If it's really as they say, we might as well just treat those enemies like royalty. They're not cooperating and they want to deny it. Do they really think we have no temper?

However, he dared not say these words aloud; there were some things he could only turn a blind eye to.

"Alright, I'll tell him when I see him. Do you have anything else to say?"

Song Shutian was about to shake his head, but then he remembered the old director's question: "Where is Jiang Jinyu being held?"

Cheng Tie shook his head. "I really don't know."

Song Shutian continued, "Can I see our deputy director?"

Cheng Tie replied truthfully, "I'll talk to our team leader and see what his opinion is. It has to be approved by him, since you're under his jurisdiction now."

Song Shutian sighed, "Alright, I'll trouble you with this. This is my report on my thoughts today. Please hand it in."

Song Shutian's request to meet with the deputy director was approved by the team leader and several others after they reviewed it.

However, even so, someone still needs to be with you.

Upon seeing the deputy director, Song Shutian didn't waste any words and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Deputy Director, I'd like to know, how has Jiang Qiao's case been classified now?"

The deputy director shook his head. "There's no conclusion yet. She's still a suspect. Although the evidence points to her, there are some doubts, which is why I'm arguing with them."

We've known Comrade Jiang Qiao for so many years, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, but unfortunately, we have no evidence.

Song Shutian nodded. "Okay, so what about me? What's my status now? Am I classified as an enemy agent, a suspect, or have I made a mistake in my work?"

This is a really difficult question to answer, because he has no say in this matter at all, and even pleading for his subordinates won't work.

With a sigh, I said, "Shutian, I know you're confused, but you're a veteran comrade. There are some things I don't need to explain. You should understand. Just cooperate with the investigation. I know you're anxious about your work, but some things aren't urgent. If the director were here, he would probably advise you against it."

Song Shutian wasn't oblivious to the deputy director's earnest gaze. Seeing the other man wink at him twice, he sighed, "Deputy Director, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate fully with their investigation. However, could we make an application here? It's not right for me to just sit here every day; isn't this just a waste of my time?"

"How about I go out to work and undergo their investigation and inspection while I work? What do you think?"

The deputy director sighed and patted Song Shutian on the shoulder. "Alright, I'll go out and discuss this with them. Whether they agree or not is beyond my control. Just like I said, stay here and relax."

Song Shutian's request was obviously not going to be granted. What a joke! How could someone under investigation possibly get out?

Zhang Dalei and his team were also conducting interrogation. At first, the man was uncooperative, but with the four of them there, it would be difficult for him not to confess.

Although Zhang Erhu and Zhang Meixin, a married couple, almost ruined their health with drugs back then, they could still put on a convincing act.

With Zhang Dalei and Cao Mingyuan backing him up, it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid. Everyone knew what was going on; it was a trivial matter, and he had no choice but to confess.

After receiving the latest statement, Jian Ling, who had come to deliver food, immediately went back. First, she sent a telegram to Jiang Qiao.

There's a detail in the statement that Jiang Qiao didn't know.

"Can you get your hands on pollen or something like that? According to the other party, he once got some pollen for them to improve their health, but later this person wouldn't allow it anymore. Also, try to find a way to get some good food over there, and have Lao Liu take some over."

Jiang Qiao agreed, and also instructed Jian Ling, "Make sure to handle the aftermath properly, and don't let the other party realize that the person has suddenly disappeared. Leave it to Zhang Dalei and the others to do."

Jian Ling left with the words, "Don't worry."

Jiang Qiao sat in the space, looking outside and thinking about what kind of food she could make that person would like.

As for the question of why the other person no longer eats pollen, she already had the answer in her mind: the person probably has an allergic reaction to pollen.

Thinking of what she needed to prepare, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but smile. Then she got up and busied herself in her space. It was just making food; this was no problem for her.

There are plenty of good things in the space, but she usually doesn't have the chance to take them out. Now that she has this thing hanging in the air, she might be able to find the mole. It doesn't matter if she's a little busy.

By the time Jiang Qiao finished her work, it was already afternoon. When she sent a telegram to Liu Zhanyu, he had just returned from taking a shower.

Upon seeing Jiang Qiao's telegram, Liu Zhanyu was delighted. "Great! Your dad is starving. Bring over the good stuff. I'm taking it to the office so Xiao Song and the comrades can all have a taste. Make sure there's plenty, so we don't run out."

After agreeing on a meeting place, Liu Zhanyu drove out again, and Jiang Qiao was in a park near their workplace.

Even in this freezing weather, no one is out in the park. Everyone's busy with their own things, the New Year is over, and everyone's back at work.

Jiang Qiao, dressed as an old woman, sat in the park carrying a basket, waiting for Liu Zhanyu to come over.
