Monday morning, around 8:20.
The investigation team's office at the guesthouse.
Shao Jian, Wu Dinghuai, and Zhao Le sat next to an electric fan, with a floor fan blowing air towards them.
Wu Dinghuai looked at Shao Jian and asked:
"Director Shao, shouldn't we call Jiang Yuping over this morning to inquire about the withdrawal of three thousand yuan from the Postal Savings Bank?"
Shao Jian thought for a moment, then took out a cigarette and lit it.
After taking a few puffs, he said to Wu Dinghuai:
"Let's wait for Lao Liang. I've thought about it, and I think I'll have Lao Liang go and call Jiang Yuping over. If there's something wrong with Jiang Yuping, we've already figured out a way to deal with her three thousand yuan issue."
"Furthermore, if this three thousand yuan was really given to Liu Han, then there must be some kind of connection between them. And with Liu Han's death, we can only hear one side of the story from Jiang Yuping or Qiu Jingwen."
“If they deny everything, we have no evidence to arrest them; it’s all just speculation. At the same time, they have the right to refuse to answer where the money went, citing privacy, and then there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Wu Dinghuai naturally understood Shao Jian's meaning and nodded in agreement.
Liang Damin didn't come in until almost nine o'clock. He told Shao Jian that he had held a meeting with the staff in the morning, requiring them to strengthen security and night patrols, and to strengthen the inspection and verification of documents for people entering and leaving the factory, so as not to let a stranger in.
After Liang Damin reported, Shao Jian affirmed his report and then handed Liang Damin a cigarette.
"Old Liang, as we discussed last week, as you know, Dr. Jiang Yuping withdrew three thousand yuan from the post office savings bank, and Liu Yihan also obtained three thousand yuan after his mute illness. Let's call Jiang Yuping over and ask her for her explanation to see if there is any connection between them."
After listening, Liang Damin looked into Shao Jian's eyes and asked:
"Director Shao, is this a questioning, or an interrogation of Jiang Yuping?"
There is a fundamental difference between questioning and interrogation, and Liang Damin must understand this.
If it were just a routine questioning like last time, Liang Damin could simply ride his bicycle to the infirmary and bring Jiang Yuping over.
But if it's an interrogation, he should go with the police officers and be brought here in a very serious manner; that would make the situation much more serious.
In fact, Liang Damin knew that it was a bit of a stretch for Shao Jian to designate Jiang Yuping as a suspect based on just three thousand yuan.
Shao Jian understood Liang Damin's meaning perfectly well, and he was also aware that Liang Damin and Xiao Jianhua would have dinner together at Qiu Jingwen's place on Saturday.
So he looked at Liang Damin and smiled:
"Old Liang, it's not that serious. We just need to ask Dr. Jiang Yuping to come over and see how she explains the three thousand yuan."
Liang Damin responded and walked straight out of the office. He wanted to ride his bicycle to the infirmary.
Shao Jian suddenly called out to Liang Damin:
"Old Liang, let the driver take the jeep to pick up Jiang Yuping here, and then take her back to the infirmary. It's quite hot today."
Liang Damin didn't refuse. This was good, as it saved him from riding a bicycle and coming back covered in sweat.
A few minutes later, Liang Damin and the jeep driver arrived at the infirmary.
After getting out of the jeep, he told the driver to wait outside.
When Liang Damin entered Jiang Yuping's office, Jiang Yuping and Wei Hong were whispering to each other.
Upon seeing Liang Damin, the two immediately stopped talking.
"Section Chief Liang, is there something you need?"
Jiang Yuping looked at Liang Damin and asked.
Liang Damin did not respond, but instead looked at Wei Hong and said:
"Dr. Wei, could you please step aside for a moment? I need to talk to Dr. Jiang about something."
Although Wei Hong sensed that Jiang Yuping and her husband were acting strangely, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The investigation team had interviewed Jiang Yuping several times. When they performed the autopsy on Niu Dajiang last time, Shao Jian asked her about what happened when she dined at the Qiu family's house and asked her to keep it a secret. These were all unusual occurrences.
Thinking of this, she nodded and tactfully left the office.
Liang Damin watched Wei Hong leave and close the door behind her, then said to Jiang Yuping:
“Jiang Yuping, your husband Qiu and I have been friends for many years. The day before yesterday, Xiao Jianhua and I had dinner at your house. If I don’t say anything, I feel I’ll be letting you down.”
As if she could foresee the situation, Jiang Yuping calmly asked:
"Is it that Shao Jian? Director Shao wants me to go over there?"
Liang Damin nodded; he didn't want to hide anything.
"Yes, you should be prepared. It's probably related to the large amount of cash you withdrew from the post office savings bank."
Liang Damin suddenly felt that he should say something to Jiang Yuping.
Moreover, he learned from Wei Dongmei that Qiu Jingwen was most likely a descendant of a revolutionary martyr. He believed that Qiu Jingwen should have nothing to do with the hidden spies. How could a descendant of a martyr become a Kuomintang agent?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuping felt a slight tremor in her heart.
She didn't expect that Shao Jian would quickly find clues about the three thousand yuan that Liu Han had extorted from her and trace it back to her.
"Old Liang, thank you for telling me all this. Let's go, I'll go with you to see Shao Jian."
Jiang Yuping remained calm and then got up from her chair.
Liang Damin took Jiang Yuping into the jeep and quickly drove out of the clinic.
As soon as the Jeep drove away, Wei Hong went into the office, grabbed the phone on Jiang Yuping's desk, and dialed Qiu Jingwen's office.
At this moment, Qiu Jingwen was preparing to put on his work clothes and go down to the workshop. Usually at this time, he would have already gone down to the workshop. Today, he had held a morning meeting to arrange a meeting for the summer maintenance team leaders and construction workers, and had just returned to his office.
