"Later, we discovered that Qiu Yang even knelt down to his father, Qiu Jingwen. That's all we observed. As for what they were talking about, we couldn't hear it at all, firstly because we were a bit far away, and secondly because the frogs in the rice paddy were croaking incessantly."
"The above is the situation last night. This morning, we learned that Qiu Yang went downstairs first and rode his bicycle to work, while Qiu Yue went downstairs next. Qiu Yue encountered ---- in front of the dormitory area gate."
At this point, Qian Weidong glanced at Liang Damin, then continued:
"Qiu Yue met Liang Guoping, the son of Section Chief Liang. It seemed that Liang Guoping was waiting for Qiu Yue. Then the two of them rode bicycles to the factory area together. Later, Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping rode bicycles to work together. They entered the factory area and rode towards the workshop and the clinic respectively. That's all there was to it."
In Qian Weidong's account, the word "suspect" was used for the first time when referring to Qiu Jingwen.
This caused Liang Damin, who was sitting in the conference room, to break out in a cold sweat.
He then realized that the investigation team genuinely suspected Qiu Jingwen and Jiang Yuping, something he hadn't expected.
After Qian Weidong reported the situation, Shao Jian first affirmed the work done by Qian Weidong, and then apologized to Liang Damin.
"Section Chief Liang, I'm sorry I didn't let you attend the previous meetings because of the need for secrecy. I also didn't communicate with you beforehand about the surveillance of Qiu Jingwen and his wife. Please understand. In principle, your age is within the range of potential enemy agents, but we have now clearly excluded you, so we trust you. There are many tasks ahead that require your participation."
At this point, he glanced around at everyone and said with a serious expression:
"Comrades, the leaders of the Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Department attach great importance to the security work of Hongqi Factory. As you know, this is a military factory that produces high explosives. If enemy agents make trouble and cause sabotage here, it will have disastrous consequences. We made this very clear to you at the work meeting when we entered Hongqi Factory."
"Therefore, eliminating any enemy agents that may be hiding inside the Hongqi Factory is our top priority. Based on the murder of Liu Han, the deputy leader of the infiltration team, we have reason to suspect that there are enemy agents hiding inside the military factory. So, I am now assigning the next key tasks."
When Shao Jian got to this point, several comrades, including Liang Damin, immediately sat up straight and picked up their pens, ready to take notes.
Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Shao Jian immediately began assigning tasks.
"First, Qian Weidong will lead the team to continue monitoring Qiu Jingwen's family. Of course, the focus should be on Qiu Jingwen. It is very unlikely that Jiang Yuping is an enemy agent, because her file shows that she lived in Shanghai before coming to Duliang and should not have any connection with the Hidden Group. However, it cannot be ruled out that she is not the murderer of Liu Xianghai, that is, the murderer of Liu Han. She is also a suspect and has the possibility of committing the crime."
"Second, Comrade Wu Dinghuai will lead a team to Yushan Township again to conduct a more in-depth investigation into the people around Liu Han's residence. We must rely on and mobilize the people in the streets to find more people related to Liu Han as soon as possible, especially those closely related to Liu Han."
"Thirdly, and importantly, we need to investigate the source of Liu Han's cash. Even if Liu Han's barbershop has accumulated a lot of money, the appearance of large sums of cash in his home indicates a problem. This task will be led by Wu Dinghuai."
"Fourth, I want to emphasize the discipline of confidentiality. The content of today's meeting must be kept strictly confidential, especially the information about Liu Han's identity as an enemy agent and the situation of his direct subordinates, including our surveillance of Qiu Jingwen and his wife. All of this must be kept confidential."
At this point, he looked at the young police officers and continued:
"Dinghuai, Zhao Le, Qian Weidong, Sun Wanke, you comrades go ahead and get back to work. Comrade Liang Damin, please stay here."
Following the instructions and orders from their superiors, the young police officers got up and left the meeting room.
Once the group left, the office fell silent, with only the whirring of the electric fan audible.
Shao Jian picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, lit one and handed it to Liang Damin, then took one out for himself and put it in his mouth.
Liang Damin took the cigarette, pulled out a box of matches from his pocket, lit one, and held it to Shao Jian's lips.
After Shao Jian lit a cigarette, he lit one himself.
Shao Jian took a drag of his cigarette, looked into Liang Damin's eyes, and asked:
"Liang Ke, are you surprised that we've been monitoring Qiu Jingwen and his wife?"
