Next, he recounted in great detail when he was turned, what information he had conveyed, how many times he had met with them, and so on.
"That's all. I don't have many chances to meet with them. I've told them everything I can think of and everything I can tell them."
Why do this?
Jiang Si originally thought that he, like Ikeda Mitsuko, was also a descendant of the Sunset Kingdom, which is why she was willing to work for them.
However, the Ministry of Public Security, along with several other units, conducted a detailed investigation yesterday.
He is a true-blue Chinese.
If it's purely for money, then it doesn't seem so.
In fact, they are not short of money.
In an era when the average wage was only around thirty yuan, their family's combined monthly income was five or six hundred yuan.
They usually eat food supplied by the city, and their children's schooling and housing costs almost nothing.
It can be said that their lives already belong to the very top of the pyramid.
"You also came from a hard life. Can you spend those gold bars stained with human blood with a clear conscience?"
Faced with Jiang Si's relentless questioning, Vice Minister Xu never looked up.
After a long while, he finally revealed that embarrassing past event.
He didn't want to, but he had no choice!
In his youth, he did many things that were driven by short-sighted ambition and a desire for quick promotion.
Vice Minister Xu thought he had kept it a secret, but he never expected that after more than ten years, these things would be dug up by them.
Perhaps they felt that this amount of leverage wasn't enough.
They even devised a trap to make him wake up in a strange woman's bed.
"What about Secretary Yan? You've been friends for many years, why would you frame him?"
After a pause, Jiang Si added, "Secretary Yan asked me to ask this."
Perhaps somewhat shocked, Vice Minister Xu looked up.
Now that things have come to this point, he has nothing left to hide.
“A few months ago, that woman came to me with a child who was a little over two years old. She said the child was mine and asked me for a large sum of money.”
“I was very scared at the time, so I pulled her to the alley behind my workplace.”
"When we were arguing, Lao Yan happened to see us. I'm not sure how much he heard..."
He didn't hear anything.
During the three days of waiting, Jiang Si visited Secretary Yan's home.
From her, Secretary Yan learned the truth that devastated him.
Before this, he had imagined many possibilities.
She even went through a list of everyone around her.
But he never dreamed that the person who stabbed him in the back would be his old friend of many years.
He never imagined that, in order to solidify his suspicion as the mole, they would kill Secretary Tan without batting an eye.
Secretary Tan was so young, he shouldn't have died.
In order to help him get justice, Secretary Yan carefully recalled every detail of his interactions with Vice Minister Xu over the past few years.
“Secretary Yan only saw the pulling and tugging process; he didn’t hear anything else.”
Jiang Si said, "He developed sensorineural hearing loss in his left ear last year. You were talking so softly, and there was a street between you. How could he possibly hear you?"
At this point, Jiang Si looked over and said, "Not only did he not hear it, but he also never doubted your character."
Never mind, there's no point in saying all this.
The situation is now quite clear; all that's left is to compile the list.
Seeing this, Jiang Si didn't linger and turned to leave the interrogation room.
"Xiao Jiang—" Just then, Vice Minister Xu suddenly spoke up, "How did you come to suspect me?"
He believed that there was nothing wrong with his actions.
But the words Jiang Si said that day were clearly a test.
Of course, Jiang Si couldn't say that she and Chi Heng had already joined forces long ago.
Moreover, the point that truly made her realize something was wrong wasn't there.
Jiang Si said, "If you really consider him your old friend, when you learn that he is injured, your first concern should be his condition, not asking him all sorts of questions and trying to find out what he said."
"Moreover, my attitude that day was very bad; I was slandering Secretary Yan the whole time."
"As a friend, even if you have no choice but to protect yourself, that's not the attitude you should have."
After saying that, Jiang Si turned and left.
Huo Tingzhou was leaning against the corner of the corridor, clearly having been waiting for a while.
Upon seeing her, he immediately came to greet her.
"You finished the interrogation so quickly?" Jiang Si was quite surprised. "How many did he confess to?"
Huo Tingzhou shook his head, his expression unreadable, and said, "After entering the interrogation room, Takeda didn't say a word. Later, when the interrogators weren't paying attention, he banged his head against the wall."
Jiang Si didn't react much after hearing this. People from the Sunset Kingdom were all like this, and she was used to it.
"Is the person dead?"
"No, he just hit his forehead and got a bloody hole. He was just taken to the hospital."
Jiang Si wasn't particularly concerned about his life or death, since Vice Minister Xu had already confessed.
Although we haven't obtained the specific list, following this line of investigation should yield considerable results.
After some discussion, the arrest plan was set for two days later.
Firstly, this involves many high-level officials, so the higher-ups have to be cautious.
Secondly, we didn't have a specific list on hand.
Such a hasty arrest could easily cause panic.
Of course, how to verify this depends on Chi Heng's side.
And so it was.
That evening, Chi Heng made a phone call to his mother as planned.
