Qiu Jingwen also realized that his wife's words had lingering effects.
What do you mean by "Don't be too surprised when the case is solved and the murderer is caught"?
If the case is solved and the wife, the murderer, is caught, wouldn't the whole family be shocked?
Qiu Jingwen had made up his mind; he absolutely could not let such a thing happen.
So he said to Qiuyue:
"Qiuyue, you don't have to go to work today, right? After your younger brother and sister wake up, tell them about the case at the factory. Things have been a bit chaotic lately. There might be enemy agents hiding in our Hongqi Factory. Tell your younger brother and sister not to run around during the day. Just stay home and read some books. We'll talk about it after the case is solved."
Thinking of the incident where her daughter was being followed by Liu Han, Qiu Jingwen added:
"Also, don't mention to anyone that you were being followed by that dead man again. It's better to avoid trouble. Otherwise, the investigation team will definitely investigate you, and maybe even your parents."
Qiuyue didn't understand her father's meaning, and frowned as she asked:
"Dad, what do you mean by this? How can you investigate me by following me? And how does this involve you and Mom?"
Qiu Jingwen remained calm and explained to his daughter.
“Qiuyue, I deduce that the police will investigate everyone who has had contact with the deceased, because everyone who has had contact with him is a suspect, right? Okay, you are still young and don't understand. Listen to your father. Don't mention to anyone that the old man was following you. It will affect your reputation if it is said. Don't you think so?”
Qiuyue didn't think too much about it, and felt that her father's words made a lot of sense, so she nodded and left.
The music playing over the loudspeakers in the dormitory area suddenly stopped, and was replaced by the familiar voice of the factory's announcer.
"Dear colleagues and staff, the following is an important announcement."
"Yesterday morning, a murder occurred in the woods of Orange Gully in our factory area. After investigation by the police and the factory security department, it was confirmed that the deceased was murdered. The deceased's name was Liu Xianghai, 69 years old, and he was a barber in the nearby Yushan Township."
"Statement: Although the deceased was wearing our Hongqi Factory work uniform, he was neither an employee nor a retired employee of our factory."
"According to preliminary investigation, the deceased had appeared within our factory premises multiple times before being killed, and had even eaten in the staff canteen. Those who provided the deceased with factory uniforms and meal tickets are requested to immediately report to the police or the factory security department leaders in order to seek leniency."
"In addition, the photo of the deceased Liu Xianghai has been posted in the factory area, dormitory area, and union bulletin board. In order to facilitate the case being solved as soon as possible and the murderer being caught, all cadres and employees who have had direct or indirect contact with the deceased are requested to proactively explain the situation to the police investigation team and must not conceal anything."
"The police investigation team will keep the information about the deceased confidential. After the case is solved, the factory will give certain material and spiritual rewards based on the value of the information provided."
"Comrades, the enemy is determined to destroy us. Enemy agents may be lurking around us, trying to carry out all kinds of sabotage. We urge all cadres and workers to keep their eyes open, maintain the revolutionary vigilance and awareness of the working class, and report any suspicious individuals or phenomena to our factory's security department or political work department at any time."
"------".
"Dear colleagues and staff, the following is an important announcement."
This notification was played three times in a row.
This echoes a saying from later generations: important things should be said three times.
Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping did not leave the bedroom, but stood in front of the bed, listening intently to the entire contents of the announcement.
As a special agent, Qiu Jingwen immediately understood.
For years, Liu Xianghai had been using the alias Liu Xianghai to lurk in the streets of nearby Yushan Township, posing as a barber.
It should be said that the notification contained a great deal of information, and Qiu Jingwen greatly admired the efficiency of the police investigation team in solving the case.
The direction and approach of the work were correct. Finding all the people who had contact with Liu Xianghai (Liu Hanhan), even indirectly, and finding the people who provided Liu Hanhan with factory uniforms and meal tickets were all important for solving the case and finding the murderer.
Of course, Qiu Jingwen, who had received training, understood this perfectly well.
It's impossible for the police to release all the information. For example, the fact that Liu Han died from potassium cyanide poisoning, and other information, must be kept confidential for the time being.
Qiu Jingwen even thought,
If I were a police officer, I might suspect that this old man was a spy just from the fake name Liu Xianghai.
Towards the sea, towards the sea, towards which sea?
It should point to the Taiwan Strait, although that's a bit of a stretch, but that's the literal meaning.
This was a thought that flashed through Qiu Jingwen's mind in an instant.
At this moment, Jiang Yuping also had many thoughts after hearing the broadcast announcement.
She was trying her best to recall the scenes and images of her direct and indirect contact with Liu Han.
Before her death, Liu Han went directly to the infirmary and visited Jiang Yuping under the guise of a patient. Other doctors and patients knew this, and Liu Han deliberately closed the door to her doctor's office.
After all, Liu Han has distinctive facial features.
What reassured Jiang Yuping somewhat was that
At the time, Liu Han was wearing a straw hat and a mask, with his head bowed low, and he was also wearing the factory uniform. If you weren't paying attention, no one would have noticed him.
Who would have thought that this person would be killed?
On the morning she murdered Liu Han, Jiang Yuping herself also disguised herself. When she left the dormitory area, she deliberately waited for the gatekeeper to open the thermos to get hot water. When she returned, she also avoided the gatekeeper's sight.
