Back at the guesthouse, Jiang Qiao and the other person slept soundly, almost missing breakfast.

Fortunately, Zhang Dalei called them over, and after dinner, Zhang Dalei took Jiang Qiao and the other person for a walk around the area.

You don't know until you walk around; even Jiang Qiao was astonished after the tour. "This place is so big? It even has its own farm?"

"That's right. So many people need to eat. If we don't grow crops, where will the food come from? Besides, we also need to arrange jobs for the families. So, over the years, this place has become quite prosperous. Currently, it has all kinds of living facilities."

Look over there, that's the office area. Old Song rested there last night.

Jiang Qiao looked into the distance and nodded. "May I ask if there are any checks when entering or leaving this place?"

Zhang Dalei nodded. "Of course."

Jiang Qiao continued, "If that's the case, even if the data is lost, can I assume that the enemy hasn't sent out the intelligence yet?"

"Well, you could say that. However, there are exceptions. Since the incident here, entry and exit have become more strictly controlled than before. You saw this on your way here. I'm just worried that they might have sent them away in another way. This is just my guess for now."

Jiang Qiao nodded, then asked, "Where will Old Zhao be hidden? Why would they hide Old Zhao?"

Zhang Dalei gave a wry smile. "Then we can only ask the parties involved. Let's see if we can get anything out of Lao Song. He's come here in person; we can't keep this from him, can we?"

They walked around and looked around, and had lunch at a restaurant outside.

Seeing the group of people outside wearing red armbands, Jiang Qiao almost choked on the meat soup.

"Oh my god, they're here too?"

Zhang Dalei and Cao Mingyuan were still confused about the situation, but seeing the people passing by outside, they shook their heads helplessly.

"Aren't you making a fuss over nothing? Isn't this perfectly normal?"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "I guess I was just ignorant. I thought there wouldn't be any in such a far place. Turns out, it's the same everywhere. I'm full. You guys continue eating. I'm going out for some fresh air—"

Cao Mingyuan sipped his mutton soup, a look of emotion on his face. "Now that you've come through this, I understand your difficulties. Going against those people must have been tough, right?"

Zhang Dalei gave a wry smile. "You'll see when you try it later. This is something I don't want to mention to Jiang Qiao. That girl has only been awake for a short time, and there are many things that can't be explained to her in a short time. Fortunately, she still has her investigative abilities and methods, otherwise, we would be in trouble."

Cao Mingyuan said dismissively, "What's there to worry about? Bring Jiang Qiao over. Don't think the boss just wants her to help solve the case. That girl is very useful. Just wait and see how they made things difficult for you before. This time, Jiang Qiao will get revenge for you."

Why hasn't the section chief made a move? Should we go over there or not?

Zhang Dalei sighed, "Wait, I reckon we'll be clashing with them soon, right?"

Sure enough, Song Shutian actually clashed with those people. No matter how well-mannered he was, he couldn't help but want to lose his temper when he encountered these kinds of people.

Now he finally understands why things have turned out this way.

Faced with the woman's tone and the fact that she didn't address any real problems, Song Shutian suppressed his anger.

"Comrade Feng Lan, after all this talk, you still haven't answered my question. Where is Zhao Anbang? I need to interrogate him immediately."

The woman raised her eyebrows and glared, "No way! This isn't an investigation. If I remember correctly, your people even wanted to take him away."

Prisoners like Zhao Anbang serve as the best negative examples for education. We must increase publicity efforts to keep everyone constantly vigilant and mindful.

Song Shutian angrily rebuked, "Who said Zhao Anbang is a criminal? Did you decide that? Let me tell you, you don't have the right to arbitrarily label people before this matter is thoroughly investigated."

Zhao Anbang is currently only a suspect; we are investigating, and there are no conclusions yet.

Feng Lan retorted, "Comrade Song, can you tell me who started this fire? And who disappeared while everyone was putting out the fire?"

After such a long interrogation, he himself couldn't defend himself. What else do you have to question? I'm starting to suspect that you came here this time to try and exonerate this person.

Let me tell you, Zhao Anbang's problem is not just a simple fire issue; it involves much more.

He has destroyed the hard work of so many of our predecessors. Who knows, maybe he secretly gave the information to his accomplices?

I have every reason to believe that this is not an investigation, but a cover-up.

Comrade Song, you probably know better than we do what kind of problem Zhao Anbang is. If you continue like this, then we'll have to find another way to talk to him.

Song Shutian was amused by the woman in front of him. "Oh ho, what do you mean? You even want to interrogate me? Don't forget, I am the supervisor sent by the higher-ups. Anyone who disobeys orders can be considered as helping certain people confuse the public and interfere with our normal work."

Comrade Feng Lan, I hope you are not one of them. Now, please tell me Zhao Anbang's whereabouts immediately—"

Feng Lan looked terrified. "Comrade Song, you're exaggerating. We are staunch proletarian revolutionary fighters. We're not interfering with your work. On the contrary, we're helping you punish the monsters and demons who have infiltrated our ranks. We must resolutely overthrow such people, not give them a chance to bite back."

He's been interrogated countless times, and he's said everything he could. He can't even prove his innocence. What chance should we give someone like that?

Song Shutian looked coldly at the woman in front of him. "According to Comrade Feng Lan, does that mean I'm not qualified to see Zhao Anbang?"

The woman chuckled, "Look, Leader Song, you've misunderstood us again. How could we not let you see us? It's just that it's not convenient for you to see us right now."

We need to show everyone negative examples like Zhao Anbang. You'll see them naturally once this work is finished.

Song Shutian sneered, "It seems that my words are not as effective as yours, Comrade Feng Lan, as the head of the supervision group. However, I must see Zhao Anbang. I order you to bring him back immediately."

Facing Song Shutian, Feng Lan seemed completely unconcerned. "Comrade Song, I'm really sorry, I don't know where Zhao Anbang is right now. Your speed and immediate action might make it difficult for me to fulfill your wish. If you want to do something else, we will definitely cooperate. But really, I can't do anything about this."

Faced with this woman, Song Shutian couldn't hit her or scold her. He angrily turned around, got in his car, and went straight to find Jiang Qiao and the others.

After Song Shutian left, Feng Lan, standing behind him, smiled smugly.
