Wu Wei's surprise interrogation of Old Madam Long was not a hasty decision to alert her.
It was a surprise attack by Wu Wei after careful consideration.
In Wu Wei's case reasoning, since Zheng Ya is not a real enemy agent or a suspect from an enemy agent family, then the fabricated evidence of enemy agent activity by the people in the compound is the breakthrough in solving the case.
Wu Wei secretly observed and deduced that everyone in the entire compound kept their distance from Old Lady Long.
This situation has never occurred with Lao Shen.
On the contrary, Old Shen seemed to be regarded by the people in the courtyard as an honest man who was easy to bully. They did not show any respect for Old Shen, who was 67 years old, but instead treated him with disdain and verbal provocation.
This does not meet the criteria for selection as an advanced residential compound.
The people in the compound don't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young. Just as Zheng Ya said, everyone in the compound has distorted the true meaning of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, using it to protect their own interests and oppress people to serve them.
This can be seen from the way the people in the compound treat Old Shen differently.
The people in the compound had questionable character and were subtly biased towards Old Lady Long. Wu Wei seized on this and, when Old Lady Long was alone and had to protect a murderer, conducted a surprise interrogation of her.
The person who could stand up for Old Lady Long took Xu Damao to the hospital.
The rest of the people in the courtyard stayed at home to watch the excitement.
Grandma Long was startled by the sudden interrogation. Cold sweat streamed down her forehead, and she stammered, "I...I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Old man, you should think this through. If you get through tonight, I will not give any of you a chance to atone for your sins!"
Don't forget I come from the Security Department of a classified unit, and I will thoroughly investigate the deaths of Zheng Daotong and his mother, as well as your case of murdering Zheng Ya.
Once I decide to arrest someone and bring them to justice, haha, it won't be like you guys trying to fool the old bureau chief and just do a perfunctory job.
"I'm telling you, in cases involving classified information, it's better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. So, do you have anything else to say to me?" Wu Wei launched a political maneuvering against her.
In fact, Wu Wei wasn't bluffing. Anyone who actually tampered with state secrets would be in serious trouble if caught.
Clearly, the evidence that Granny Long and others fabricated about enemy agents makes them suspects of having ties with enemy agents.
It's normal procedure for such people to be arrested and interrogated.
Grandma Long was in a state of panic. She kicked Sha Zhu for help, but Sha Zhu was still in shock and didn't notice. Grandma Long broke down and blurted out, "I'll talk, I'll confess!"
The codebook and the rag used to frame Zheng Ya were thrown in from outside the wall at noon today.
I'm telling the truth, I wouldn't dare make things up!
"Uh, are you sure you're not hiding any facts? You know, when the case is finally solved, our relevant departments will sentence the people involved."
"If you reveal all the information about the enemy's activities now, you will be reducing your sentence for the crimes you are involved in. It's considered meritorious service to atone for your crimes. Do you understand?" Wu Wei pressed on relentlessly, not wanting to let go of this opportunity to solve the case.
Grandma Long shook her head and said, "I didn't lie, everything I said is true."
The reason I'm telling you this is so that I can help you solve the case as soon as possible!
I don't want to become a scapegoat for enemy agents either!
In fact, what Grandma Long said was the truth, but she was only just realized that she had been used by enemy agents.
Ever since they were tempted by enemy agents to betray Zheng Daotong's information about his entry and exit from the compound and the people he contacted, they have been designated as spies and scapegoats by the enemy agents.
For enemy agents, having a few extra informants is merely a way to lull the police and military into a false sense of security, and to be used as scapegoats when necessary.
Use such pieces if they are useful, discard them if they are not.
Because Old Lady Long and others resented Zheng Daotong's family and were always thinking of killing them, they would have the opportunity to seize everything that belonged to Zheng Daotong's family and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
For example, if Old Lady Long stole a military medal from Zheng Ya's family, it could be used to prove that Old Lady Long's son and daughter-in-law came from the army and were meritorious. For Old Lady Long, this would be the best item to determine whether she was a recipient of the Five Guarantees.
Unfortunately, it has now been taken back by Zheng Ya.
Zheng Ya didn't pursue the crimes of Granny Long and the others; he was just using them to fleece them and earn loyalty points.
At this moment, Wu Wei lost the will to ask any further questions after hearing what she said, and had no interest in a pawn of the enemy.
However, Wu Wei did not want to let go of the old lady Long's story, and said approvingly, "Very good, the fact that you can say that shows that you have self-awareness."
Since that's the case, don't worry about it. We will thoroughly investigate what you said and try our best to exonerate you.
"Of course, if you help us observe the appearance of enemy agents, it will greatly assist us in solving the case, and we can then recommend you for commendation and an award. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand. You just want the old women in our compound to help you see what the enemy agents look like so you can use that information to catch them, right?"
This is a good opportunity to redeem myself, I will definitely keep an eye on it. "Old Lady Long said this with a sincere face, but in her heart she was cursing, "You brat, you want this old woman to go and die? Dream on."
Saying one thing and doing another is just part of Granny Long's personality.
The reason she spoke out was to exonerate herself and Yi Zhonghai and others, and to sever ties with enemy agents as soon as possible.
What else?
What evidence do they want from enemy agents to frame Zheng Ya? Are they courting death?
After tonight's battle of wits, Old Lady Long has learned a lot and has now decided to consider Zheng Ya as someone not to be trifled with, and that it's best to keep her at a distance.
Provoking a master who can manipulate objects from a distance is like asking for a quick death!
Fear of death is a stage of fear that everyone at Grandma Long's age must go through. Naturally, she wouldn't dare to seek death; she'd rather hide than risk it.
Since Old Lady Long was certain that Zheng Ya was not to be trifled with, she simply distanced herself from the enemy, which led to the exposure of Wu Wei's interrogation.
This is Grandma Long's way of hoping to stay out of trouble and protect herself.
Wu Wei was still fooled by the old woman's Westernized, simple, and helpful appearance. She mistakenly thought that she had scared the old lady and that this had worked in her favor. She said with satisfaction, "Well, good. From now on, you will be my spy in the yard."
"Our joint effort to capture the enemy agent is the best way to extricate yourself from the crimes you've committed, and we might even be rewarded for our service?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely cooperate with you in the case." Old Mrs. Long said nicely, but in her heart she was cursing. "You brat, are you trying to send me to my death?"
Sending someone to watch enemy agents is practically suicide.
With these old, frail arms and legs, you'd be too busy running away if you saw enemy agents. Trying to spy on them for you? You must be out of your mind!
Satisfied, Wu Wei walked towards the public restroom outside the courtyard, secretly celebrating that she had found the key to solving the case, and that the case was just around the corner!
None of this escaped Zheng Ya's supernatural senses. He dismissed the old lady Long's nonsense, but the enemy agent's methods were a wake-up call. It seemed they needed to change their approach to catching the enemy agent...
