Song Zhi sighed, "Those few we caught outside couldn't hold out and confessed. They said it was their strategist who ordered it, the one who escaped."

As for the three arrested inside, one of them said he didn't know anything and was just assigned by his superiors to guard the place. When they saw you, they assumed you were there to cause trouble.

As for the other two, it's hard to say. Although their statements are similar to the other one, when asked about other things, they won't say anything.

They even mentioned the attack on you, saying it was just in case, in case someone helped a traitor.

Also, the guy that Old Hou caught claimed he was just watching the fun, but weapons were found in his house, which he said he picked up years ago for self-defense.

"It seems to me that each of them has rehearsed their statements beforehand."

Jiang Qiao didn't know if they had colluded beforehand, but she was anxious if these people didn't confess soon. She didn't have time to waste with them.

Before she could even speak, her comrades came over and said, "Comrade Jiang Qiao, we need your help again. Your reputation is so widespread that these people have to think twice before saying anything when they see you."

"Why don't you come with us and see? It would be best if we could get them to confess. The sooner we catch the bad guys, the sooner we can have some peace of mind."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a man walked in. He was burly and dressed in a uniform. At first glance, one could see his imposing presence, but I didn't recognize him.

A face appeared behind the man, and Jiang Qiao exclaimed in surprise, "Dad? What brings you here?"

Liu Zhanyu walked over with a smile. "Why can't I come? My daughter is all better now, so as her father, I have to come and see her. Otherwise, wouldn't I be calling myself a father for nothing?"

Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Director Chu, Chu Laosan's nephew—"

Jiang Qiao turned to look at the stern-faced bureau chief, who was also smiling at her.

"Jiang Qiao, I've heard of your name for a long time, but it's a pity we've never had a chance to meet. Now that you've finally come all this way, you should stay a few more days."

"Thanks to your help with my brother's matter, otherwise, my third uncle might have caused even more trouble."

Jiang Qiao smiled and looked at the other party, "Uncle, you're too kind. My uncle still has to rely on you on your turf. He must have suffered a lot of humiliation before, right?"

Director Chu waved his hand, "That's nothing. Compared to what you've done, we're nothing. It's fortunate that you came and made a scene, otherwise, dealing with these people would have taken a long time."

After a brief chat, everyone quickly got back to the main topic. It was getting late, and if they didn't get the results of the interrogation soon, there would be more trouble tomorrow.

"Send someone to get rid of those people right now. They're making a scene here, how are we supposed to investigate the case?"

Liu Zhanyu was immediately dissatisfied. What kind of place was this, letting these people cause trouble? They were really bold. They were even connected to enemy agents, yet they still dared to come and cause trouble. Who gave them the guts?

Speaking of this, Director Chu also had a headache. "They're all women, and there are old ones and young ones too. What are you going to do with them? If you force them, something might go wrong. It's difficult for us to do our jobs."

Jiang Qiao frowned and glanced at the group of people, then suddenly shouted, "Aren't you annoying? If you keep making a scene, arrest them all! Treat them all as enemy agents and put them all in jail! Are you coming or not? Men, cuff them all! Those who have jobs, notify their employers to fire them!"

That one sentence worked. As soon as they heard they were going to be fired, the women stopped crying, quickly stood up, and slunk away with their children.

These days, jobs are hard to find. Besides, the whole family depends on them to work and earn money to support them. They can't risk their own livelihood for someone else's sake.

Liu Zhanyu sighed and shook his head. "With these people, being nice doesn't necessarily work."

Jiang Qiao casually asked, "How exactly did this matter get leaked today? It shouldn't have caused such a big fuss."

The person next to him explained, "It's the gatekeeper, but we've already taken him under control."

Jiang Qiao was actually hungry. "Is there any food? I haven't eaten yet. Hurry up and get me some food so I can fill my stomach first."

"Yes, yes, I've saved some for you, but you'll have to make do with the steamed buns and pickled vegetables for now."

Jiang Qiao wasn't picky about food; as long as she could fill her stomach, everything was fine. While eating, she said to Liu Zhanyu, "You're here, perfect timing. Find me someone, Chen Jianwu. He used to be a teacher, and now he's in the Revolutionary Committee. I don't know exactly what he does."

Director Chu frowned and repeated, "Chen Jianwu? I know this person. He seems fine. I don't see anything wrong with him. Jiang Qiao, why would you suspect him?"

Jiang Qiao swallowed the food in her mouth. "I don't know why, it's just a gut feeling. I've seen this person before, once on a train and once on a ship. It was after I came back that I was assassinated a few days later."

Why would he give up being a good teacher and come here? If he didn't want to be a teacher, he could have gone back to his hometown.

The key point is that I overheard some people saying today that they saw Chen Jianwu having dinner with that leader a couple of days ago. How could someone from the Revolutionary Committee have dinner with them?

Also, regarding Yang Yunqi's matter, is there any connection here? Who leaked the information about my uncle? At this time, it's best to be cautious.

Liu Zhanyu had absolute faith in Jiang Qiao's intuition. Although this girl had no experience in handling cases, she had solved so many cases based on her intuition. Therefore, when Jiang Qiao mentioned this intuition, he felt that this clue was very important.

"Don't worry, we'll have someone investigate later. You go in first and see if you can get any information out of them, then we'll talk about it later."

Jiang Qiao frowned and said, "If you won't talk, then beat me up."

Director Chu smiled and said, "That won't do. It's against the rules. Girl, come inside and take a look. I know you're anxious to see your uncle, but there's nothing we can do now. These people seem to have conspired to tell the truth."

Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "So, you're just waiting for me to go in and beat them up?"

Liu Zhanyu and Director Chu smiled knowingly. "We didn't hear anything. Let's go in."

When Jiang Qiao went in, the people inside were still interrogating her. She went to find the person who had attacked her first. This guy could lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. If he didn't have some background, who was he trying to fool?

Upon seeing Jiang Qiao enter, the man was first taken aback, then shuddered, but remained silent.

"Hehe, it's good that you know who I am. What, you don't want to talk? Are you just waiting for me to come?"

I'm baffled. Who gave you permission to do this? Playing dead on the ground, waiting to attack me? Can you tell me?
