For Liang Damin, he felt that letter of introduction was extremely important.
With the letter of introduction, one can find the relevant unit, investigate the details, and uncover Qiu Jingwen's family background and social connections.
Wei Dongmei recalled for a while, then looked at Liang Damin.
“I remember this clearly. They had a letter of introduction from the Headquarters of the East China Field Army of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. At that time, Duliang had just been liberated. Because the letter of introduction was special, we didn’t ask for too many details and just accepted Qiu Jingwen. You think about it, it was a letter of introduction from the army. How could we dare not accept him?”
At this point, Wei Dongmei seemed to remember something else, and then added:
"Oh, right, I just remembered. One of the middle-aged men asked us to treat Comrade Qiu Jingwen well before he left, saying that his parents had made outstanding contributions to the revolutionary cause."
Liang Damin listened with some excitement.
There is no doubt that someone possessed a letter of introduction from the East China Field Army Headquarters, indicating that Qiu Jingwen's identity was very special and could not possibly be related to enemy agents.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Director Wei, why is there no letter of introduction in Comrade Qiu Jingwen's file?"
Wei Dongmei seemed to have returned to the scene of history, and after thinking for a moment, she said:
"They only showed us the letter of introduction and said that because of the recent liberation and the special nature of the work, they took the letter back. By the way, there were also two armed People's Liberation Army soldiers who came in a military jeep. They waited outside the whole time, and I saw that their uniforms were indeed those of soldiers from the East China Field Army. Before leaving, the middle-aged man also asked us to keep Comrade Qiu Jingwen's information confidential."
Liang Damin asked:
"Director Wei, which department do those two introducers belong to?"
Wei Dongmei thought for a long time, but shook her head.
“At the time, we were just a medical device factory. We had a letter of introduction, but we didn’t ask too many questions.”
"Later, I reported to the company leaders, and they asked me to take Qiu Jingwen in and arrange some easy work for him."
"Later, in the 1960s, the Third Front factories were located in Juzigou. The Hongqi Medical Equipment Factory expanded from a small factory with a few hundred people into a military industrial enterprise with more than two thousand people today. Section Chief Liang should be familiar with what happened after that."
Although many questions remain unclear, such as the identities of those two middle-aged men.
Why did they bring along PLA comrades and arrange for Qiu Jingwen to work at the then-Hongqi Medical Equipment Factory?
Also, where are Qiu Jingwen's parents and his sister Qiu Jingxuan, who appears in the file, now?
Did they sacrifice their lives in the War of Liberation?
Many questions arose in Liang Damin's mind.
But he understood that this was all Wei Dongmei, as the person in charge, knew.
"Director Wei, thank you for telling me all this?"
He looked at Wei Dongmei, who was in her early seventies, and said.
Wei Dongmei stared into Liang Damin's eyes and asked in confusion:
"Section Chief Liang, you don't suspect that Comrade Qiu Jingwen is a secret agent, do you?"
Liang Damin was disciplined; he couldn't tell the unrelated retired cadre about Shao Jian's suspicion and surveillance of Qiu Jingwen, much less reveal that someone had reported Qiu Jingwen and his wife for murdering a special case.
So he responded:
"Director Wei, no, when I looked back at Qiu Jing's files, the family and social relationships were too simple, and there was no information such as home address."
Wei Dongmei offered her suggestions.
"Section Chief Liang, if you want to thoroughly understand Comrade Qiu Jingwen's information, my suggestion is that you try to find the headquarters of the East China Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army at that time. Maybe then you can get to the bottom of it."
Liang Damin nodded in agreement.
"Director Wei, I will report your suggestion to the leaders as soon as I get back to the factory. Thank you for providing such important information. I also hope you can keep this a secret from everyone."
Wei Dongmei smiled and said:
"Section Chief Liang, I still have organizational principles. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
After questioning Qiu Jingwen, Liang Damin thought of Jiang Yuping and asked Wei Dongmei about Jiang Yuping's family and social connections.
Wei Dongmei thought for a moment and said:
"You mean Jiang Yuping, that beautiful female doctor, Qiu Jingwen's wife? I remember her situation too. When she first entered the factory, she was introduced by an old leader. She was a graduate of Shanghai Medical College and was considered the most beautiful woman in the Hongqi Medical Equipment Factory. As for why Jiang Yuping gave up the big city of Shanghai and was willing to come to this remote mountain village, I really don't know. Some people say it was for Qiu Jingwen."
Liang Damin hummed in agreement and smiled:
“Recently, I also looked at Dr. Jiang’s file. It seems that he has no family ties at all. Which leader is the old leader that Director Wei mentioned?”
"Song Qinghe, the former deputy director of the Hongqi Medical Equipment Factory, was a veteran who participated in the liberation of Shanghai. Later, for some unknown reason, he was sent down to a remote mountain village. He gradually rose to the position of deputy director. After the policy was implemented, he returned to Shanghai, but unfortunately, he passed away last year."
After listening, Liang Damin expressed his gratitude. He understood that figuring out Jiang Zhuping's social connections would likely be quite a complicated process.
At the same time, he also sensed that Jiang Yuping's identity was not simple either.
The two talked for about an hour, while Ding Haitao and the driver waited outside.
It was past eleven o'clock when Liang Damin waved to Ding Haitao outside the door, signaling him to come in and indicating that he had finished his business.
After Ding Haitao came in, Wei Dongmei wanted to invite a few people to stay for dinner, but Ding Haitao refused.
After leaving Wei Dongmei's house, the three of them got into the jeep. Wei Dongmei watched the jeep turn into an alley and disappear from sight.
