At this point, Wei Hong frowned and stared into Shao Jian's eyes.
"Director Shao, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me, or is there something wrong with my best friend?"
Shao Jian quickly waved his hand in denial:
"Dr. Wei, please don't misunderstand, I was just asking casually. By the way, did you have dinner at Dr. Jiang's house a week ago?"
Wei Hong recalled for a moment and reported the facts truthfully.
"Yes, I remember now. My husband was away on a business trip. It was a thunderstorm that day, and Yu Ping's husband, Lao Qiuqiu Jingwen, probably got soaked in the rain. He said his forehead was hot, so I brought him some fever reducer, Analgin."
Shao Jian looked at Wei Hong with a smile on his face.
After listening to Wei Hong's report, he thought for a moment, then asked with a gentle expression:
"Dr. Wei, as you know, we are investigating the murder of Liu Xianghai, and we are also investigating enemy agents who may be lurking in Duliang City. Please recall if you noticed anything unusual when you were having dinner at your best friend's house that day?"
Although Shao Jian was all smiles, Wei Hong suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little different at this moment.
Moreover, her first instinct was that the head of the investigation team, Shao Jian, seemed to have some suspicions about her best friend, Jiang Yuping.
Having already asked my best friend about her situation, and now she's asking Wei Hong about her friend's family again—this doesn't seem like something to be taken lightly!
Since it was the police investigating the case, Wei Hong dared not hide anything.
So he told Shao Jian about Qiu Jingwen's outburst at his son Qiu Shou and the slap he gave him at dinner that day.
Finally, she added:
"I know Lao Qiu. He's a really good person, a gentleman, a good husband and father, and a good supervisor in the workshop. I've never seen him lose his temper like that before."
Shao Jian picked up the conversation and asked:
"At the time, we just didn't allow his son to go out and play during the autumn harvest, and we didn't say anything else?"
Wei Hong thought for a moment and shook her head:
"No".
Shao Jian asked again:
"After this week, do you think your best friend, Dr. Jiang, has exhibited any abnormal behavior at work or in her personal life?"
Wei Hong thought for a moment and then shook her head, saying very firmly:
"No, it's the same as usual."
As she spoke, she fixed her eyes on Shao Jian:
"Director Shao, you don't really suspect my best friend of having a problem, do you? Do you suspect she's a spy, or the murderer of Liu Xianghai, the man with the scar on his face?"
Shao Jian shook his head in response:
"Dr. Wei, don't be so sensitive. We just want to get to the bottom of this. Don't worry, we won't wrong an innocent person, but we won't let a guilty person go unpunished either."
At this point, Shao Jianyi's gentle smile vanished, and her tone became serious.
"Comrade Wei Hong, I have a request to make to you."
Seeing the serious expression on her leader's face, Wei Hong seemed to have caught it too, and she also stopped smiling warmly and beautifully.
"Boss, please just say what you want to say."
"I hope that when I ask you about Dr. Jiang's family situation, you will keep it strictly confidential and not tell your best friend."
At that moment, Wei Hong's heart pounded wildly.
She felt that the investigation team seemed to be really targeting her best friend or Qiu Jingwen.
After about ten seconds, she looked at Shao Jian and nodded in agreement.
"Director Shao, I am an activist and I have a deep affection for the Hongqi Factory. I will keep this confidential, so please rest assured."
"That would be best. Thank you for your cooperation. If you recall any unusual behavior from Jiang Yuping recently, please let us know immediately."
After agreeing and making assurances, Wei Hong got up and left the office, led by a staff member.
As soon as Wei Hong left, Shao Jian looked at Wu Dinghuai and asked:
"Dinghuai, have the people you arranged to monitor Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping discovered anything unusual?"
