Because Liang Damin had instructed her, and it was Shao Jian's idea, that she should return to the infirmary and not say anything, as if nothing had happened.
So, Jiang Yuping looked at her best friend and forced a smile.
"Hey, Wei Hong, it's nothing, just asking casually, it's still related to the Liu Han case and its details."
Due to her fear and nervousness, Jiang Yuping mistakenly said Liu Han instead of Liu Xianghai.
Wei Hong didn't understand at first, and frowned as she asked:
"Yu Ping, who are you talking about, Liu Han? Who is Liu Han?"
The notice about Liu Xianghai's murder case mentioned Liu Xianghai, and no one ever mentioned Liu Xianghai. It was not surprising that Wei Hong asked who Liu Xianghai was.
Jiang Yuping realized she had let something slip, so she quickly took remedial measures.
"Wei Hong, what did I say? What Liu Han?"
Wei Hong found it even stranger after hearing this.
"Yuping, what's wrong with you? What did the investigation team ask you when they took you there? You look so distraught."
Although Jiang Yuping appeared calm and even disguised it well, her inner anxiety and tension were still evident on her face.
The husband, Qiu Jingwen, ran up to the investigation team and confessed that he was the murderer of Liu Han. He knew he would never be able to return home, and his fate as the workshop director was uncertain, not to mention whether he could continue his job.
Moreover, the news that Qiu Jingwen was a murderer, the killer of the barber, might soon spread throughout the entire Hongqi Factory. It's also possible that Shao Jian will reveal that her husband, Qiu Jingwen, was a Kuomintang agent and enemy spy who had been lurking in the Hongqi Factory for many years.
Although Jiang Yuping had been mentally prepared for these things, she never expected this day to come so suddenly.
Wei Hong was still staring at Jiang Yuping in surprise, waiting for her answer.
"Wei Hong, stop being curious. I'm a bit confused. I don't know why the investigation team keeps wanting to talk to me."
"Yu Ping, what did they ask you?"
Jiang Yuping seemed a little impatient.
"Oh, Wei Hong, please stop asking, it's nothing, it's just that case, they've started suspecting me."
Jiang Yuping seemed to have calmed down.
He felt that since the investigation team wanted her to return to the infirmary and remain where she was, it must have been the team's decision, and it was something that would be temporarily beneficial for both him and Qiu Jingwen.
She deduced that Shao Jian's explanation and request to maintain the status quo meant that he did not want to disclose their involvement in the case for the time being.
When Wei Hong heard that the investigation team suspected her best friend, she immediately felt a sense of injustice.
"This investigation team is really something. How could they suspect you? What's wrong with Shao Jian? Will they even solve the case? If they can't catch the spies, will they just arrest and suspect people randomly?"
As she spoke, she stood up from her seat, walked over to her best friend, and gently hugged Jiang Yuping.
"Yu Ping, if you're upright, you have nothing to fear. Let them have their suspicions."
Jiang Yuping was somewhat moved and reached out to hug Wei Hong as well.
"Wei Hong, thank you, I'm alright now."
She said she was fine, but tears were almost welling up in her eyes.
Her husband, Qiu Jingwen, rushed to the investigation team and took the blame for the murder, so she was temporarily out of trouble.
While the two best friends were having a close conversation, Shao Jian, arranged by Liang Damin, was sitting in Zhou Huaihai's office.
Half an hour ago,
When Liang Damin told Zhou Huaihai that Shao Jian wanted to discuss some issues with him, Zhou Huaihai was quite surprised.
Although he was the head of the Hongqi Factory, Zhou Huaihai did not get involved in the investigation team's cases. Moreover, he was not on temporary assignment to the investigation team, and he did not inquire about or understand the cases. Shao Jian also reported the progress of the investigation directly to the Municipal Bureau.
After Shao Jian sat down, Zhou Huaihai personally poured him a cup of tea, turned the fan towards him, and then offered him a cigarette before speaking to him.
"Director Shao, has there been a major breakthrough in the case?"
The cases he referred to included, on the one hand, the murder of Liu Xianghai, and on the other hand, the case involving enemy agents.
Shao Jian nodded at Zhou Huaihai.
"Boss, yes, there has been significant progress, involving your Hongqi Factory's middle-level managers, so I need to let you know beforehand."
Upon hearing that it involved cadres, Zhou Huaihai was even more surprised.
"Director Shao, is it involving a mid-level cadre? Who is it?"
Shao Jian then told Zhou Huaihai everything about Qiu Jingwen's confession that he was the murderer of Liu Xianghai, and that he himself had been an undercover agent at the Hongqi Factory for many years, codenamed Cobra.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huaihai's mouth gaped open, his eyes widened, and his jaw almost dropped.
When Liang Damin mentioned to him last time that Shao Jian suspected Qiu Jingwen, Zhou Huaihai didn't believe it at all.
Over the years, he not only witnessed Qiu Jingwen's character, but also saw Qiu Jingwen rise step by step from squad leader to section chief, then to deputy workshop director and workshop director, all of which were promoted by him, Zhou Huaihai. How could he possibly have imagined that Qiu Jingwen was an enemy agent and the murderer of Liu Xianghai?
time,
It seemed to freeze at that moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Huaihai looked at Shao Jian, his eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Director Shao, you can't be mistaken, can you? How could Qiu Jingwen be a spy?"
“Sir, this is something Qiu Jingwen himself admitted. Moreover, we know from the information provided by the provincial department that there was indeed an undercover agent codenamed Cobra, who was a teenager back then, which matches Qiu Jingwen’s age very well. Besides, if he wasn’t Cobra, how would he know about the Military Intelligence Bureau’s undercover team?”
Zhou Huaihai listened silently to Shao Jian's words, but then he suddenly thought of Liang Damin and the matter of investigating Qiu Jingwen's social and family relationships at Wei Dongmei's house. He looked at Shao Jian.
