Shao Jian is a veteran police officer.
Before Qiu Jingwen arrived, Jiang Yuping confessed to being the murderer of Liu Yanhan, and said that Liu Yanhan used the lives of his children to force her into physical submission and sexual relations. Shao Jian had considered the possibility of this, and from the speed of Jiang Yuping's narration, her expression, and her tone, he felt that what Jiang Yuping said did not seem like a lie. But now Qiu Jingwen suddenly came over and admitted that he was the murderer of Liu Yanhan.
This is tantamount to the sudden emergence of two murderers who killed Liu Han.
Honestly, the fact that the couple were vying to take the blame for each other really touched Shao Jian.
Based on his experience in handling cases, Qiu Jingwen's confession that he was Liu Han's subordinate makes it more likely that Qiu Jingwen killed Liu Han, which is also more in line with reasoning, since Liu Han controlled Qiu Jingwen's fate.
In response to Shao Jian's question, Qiu Jingwen answered calmly.
"Sir, now that I've come to turn myself in, may I make some demands?"
Shao Jian looked at Qiu Jingwen with a serious expression.
"Qiu Jingwen, do you think you have the right to make demands of me? Of course, unless you can provide information that I find extremely valuable."
Qiu Jingwen looked at Shao Jian and asked:
"Sir, Director Shao, have you heard of the infiltrated task force of the Military Intelligence Bureau?"
Shao Jian was naturally interested. The "hidden group" was a Kuomintang intelligence group that had gone undercover in the early days of liberation. This information was brought by the provincial department leaders.
However, Shao Jian knew very little about the infiltrator team. He only knew that it was a nine-person team, and he was concerned about who the team leader and deputy team leader were, and what their main mission was.
So he looked at Qiu Jingwen and smiled.
"Qiu Jingwen, it's good that you've come to turn yourself in. Now, tell me, what conditions do you want to propose?"
"Leader, first of all, none of this has anything to do with my wife. I killed Liu Han. Please release my wife immediately. Secondly, I have three young children. My youngest son, Qiushou, and my youngest daughter, Qiuchan, are still in school. I don't want them to know about my identity as a spy too early. I'm worried they won't be able to handle the shock."
Shao Jian naturally understood that Qiu Jingwen was not only a special agent, but also a father.
As a veteran police officer, Shao Jian had been thinking about Qiu Jingwen's situation over the years ever since he suspected that Qiu Jingwen might be the young agent developed by Liu Han. He even thought that Qiu Jingwen might have long forgotten his identity as an agent, after all, he had always performed excellently at the Red Flag Factory, and he was a role model for others in both his conduct and his work.
More importantly, no major incidents have occurred at the Hongqi Factory in recent years. If Qiu Jingwen, as a workshop director, really wanted to cause trouble, he would have done so many times over.
After a brief moment of consideration, Shao Jian agreed to Qiu Jingwen's two conditions.
"Qiu Jingwen, let me put it this way: before the covert team is uncovered, I can consider your conditions and requests. However, let me make this clear first: this matter is of great importance. I need to return to the Municipal Bureau and report to the relevant leaders. Ultimately, the leaders will make the decision."
"Thank you, I can wait for that, but I beg you to release my wife first, at least before you leave work today, otherwise our children will definitely worry and have all sorts of speculations."
Shao Jian did not immediately agree, but instead looked at Qiu Jingwen and said:
"I can't agree to that right now. I have to report to my supervisor first. Please tell me the specifics."
Qiu Jingwen did not respond, but looked at Shao Jian, waiting for the other party to make a request.
Shao Jian seemed to understand Qiu Jingwen's meaning and then made several requests.
"First, you need to clarify your superior-subordinate relationship with Liu Yihan. When did you first make contact?"
"Secondly, what tasks did Liu Han assign you when he woke you up?"
"Third, assuming you killed Liu Han, why did you kill him? What were your motives and purposes?"
"Fourth, tell me the specific process of how you killed Liu Han, including the time, place, and circumstances at the time."
At this point, Shao Jian stared into Qiu Jingwen's eyes and continued:
"If you have any other information, please tell me as well. Since you have turned yourself in, you should know how to be completely honest and explain yourself. This way, you may be able to get leniency."
It should be said that Shao Jian provided Qiu Jingwen with a wealth of information.
Especially at the end, it is possible to strive for leniency. This requires Qiu Jingwen to recognize the situation. After all, he killed enemy agents, and the legal sentencing may be different from that for killing ordinary people. Moreover, it is necessary to see how valuable the information provided by Qiu Jingwen is. All of these factors may reduce Qiu Jingwen's crime and become factors for meritorious service.
Qiu Jingwen wasn't a fool; he naturally understood the meaning behind Shao Jian's words.
So he told Shao Jian all the information he needed, and it all started on that rainy day.
From Liu Han's appearance, to Liu Han stalking his son Qiushou, threatening his son's life to extort three thousand yuan from him, to his murder of Liu Han.
Finally, he looked at Shao Jian with a bitter smile, and then told Shao Jian what he had been thinking all these years.
"Sigh, it's been almost thirty years. If it weren't for Liu Han's appearance, I would have really forgotten that I once joined the Military Intelligence Bureau. Over the years, I have never lived as a secret agent. I have long since regarded myself as an ordinary citizen."
"Liu Han extorted three thousand yuan from me. I felt that the danger was not completely over, so I told Liu Han the exact time and place. First, I poisoned Liu Han with potassium cyanide. Then, I inserted a nail into his head because I hated his appearance. His appearance brought a disaster to my family and will completely destroy my happy family and everything else---".
