Chapter 653 The Passing of Time 18
Fortunately, the people from the bureau only went through the motions because of Qiu Juncheng's reputation, and the Japanese, perhaps frightened by the ghost, were very careful not to ransack the house.
During this period, Qiu Juncheng did not go home once. He only called Ning Yan twice, telling her to stay at home and not go anywhere unless necessary, as he would be very busy and would not have time to come home.
As for the weekend dinner party, that plan is obviously off the table.
Ning Yan didn't care about him. Anyway, there were so many traitors in Beiping, it wasn't his turn to be on the list of those to be eliminated yet. Besides, the more the city was under martial law, the safer he was.
Neither the Red Party nor the Military Intelligence Bureau would choose to take action at this time.
Those self-righteous individuals in private organizations will also stay put, fearing that they might be implicated and arrested.
Once you're in the Japanese prison, you just hope you can die a quick and easy death.
It's impossible to come out alive and well.
...
At the police station.
Luo Siyuan, enraged, started smashing things again. "Damn it, even the Japanese can't find out, where am I supposed to investigate? If they really find out, will I still be alive?"
That was a ghost! More than 300 people died at the army hospital that day, and we didn't even see a glimpse of its clothes. It was like a ghost. If you really bumped into it, it would have taken care of you.
Qiu Juncheng quickly advised, "Director, calm down. Didn't the Military Intelligence Bureau already say that Ghost is one of their people? Let the Japanese cause trouble for the Beiping Station."
However, I don't think the missing items from the hospital are related to this ghost.
Luo Siyuan immediately became interested, "Oh, tell me in detail."
Even if you can't catch the ghost, finding the medicine thief would still be a great achievement!
Qiu Juncheng hadn't been working for nothing these past few days. Li Dagang had been keeping a close eye on Guan Sanqing, but the investigation into the ghost hadn't yielded a single clue. Guan Sanqing, however, was flustered by the commotion.
People are more prone to making mistakes when they panic.
Especially someone as intelligent as Guan Sanqing.
He originally worked with a Japanese businessman to resell supplies. The Japanese businessman had some connections with the headquarters, so the business went smoothly and he made a lot of money.
According to his subordinates, Luo Siyuan received a lot of benefits from him.
There's a vacancy for section chief in the bureau, and Guan Sanqing has his eye on it.
Luo Siyuan is a greedy and lustful man. As long as it benefits him, he doesn't care where your money comes from.
This massive search involved searching every house, and the city gates were under martial law. He happened to have a batch of supplies stored in the warehouse, so he couldn't get out.
Didn't he panic?
Reselling supplies is a minor matter, but even the Japanese, when they went to war, weren't they ultimately after promotions and wealth?
Without their connections and collusion, those supplies wouldn't have even been able to leave the city.
They took the benefits, and Guan Sanqing was also making money for the Japanese. What was wrong with that?
But it is heavy, too.
The supplies came from the Japanese, so who bought them? There are only two possibilities: either the Kuomintang's Military Intelligence Bureau or the Communist Party. But no matter which side it is, it's still aiding the enemy.
At times like these, even a small matter can lead to death if it is discovered, let alone aiding the enemy.
Qiu Juncheng has already written Guan Sanqing's ending for him, which is to die!
Tell me, who in this world isn't afraid of death?
The army hospital caused such a huge commotion, with over three hundred people dying, from lieutenant colonels to ordinary soldiers. Guan Sanqing's Japanese businessman friend couldn't cover it up, and he didn't dare to. Everyone understood what was going on.
With Guan Sanqing no longer having his backing, and the goods still sitting in the warehouse, how could he not panic?
In his panic, he went to the warehouse himself, where he was spotted by Li Dagang, who was watching him.
Thus, he became the perfect scapegoat in this theft at the army hospital!
Upon hearing this, Luo Siyuan slammed his hand on the desk and said, "Juncheng, you are the most capable person. There is nothing I assign you that you cannot handle."
So, you'd better take some men and arrest him today!
I want to personally interrogate Guan Sanqing and find out which side's spy he is!
Good heavens, Qiu Juncheng was still thinking about how to imply to Luo Siyuan that Guan Sanqing was a spy, and Luo Siyuan himself pinned the crime on him. He'll really thank him!
Qiu Juncheng: "Don't worry, Director. I will handle this personally and guarantee that everything will go smoothly."
After saying that, he immediately left the bureau chief's office, asked for Guan Sanqing's location, and found out that the kid was leading a search party on Guijie Street and was carrying weapons. Qiu Juncheng gave Li Dagang a few instructions.
"Guan Sanqing is so addicted to opium that he's often not thinking clearly. If you just go up there and pull out your weapon, he might fight back, and that would hurt the brothers. You should..."
Li Dagang readily agreed.
Soon, Li Dagang gathered everyone together, Qiu Juncheng drove his Foton car, followed by a group of patrol officers jogging behind, and the group headed straight for Guijie Street.
Even though Guan Sanqing has made a lot of money, he can't change his habits. He always does the searching himself. Why?
Because you can easily grab a little bit.
When Li Dagang found him, he had just come out of a wealthy family's house, with a white jade snuff bottle he had taken from the house in his pocket and an old hen he had just caught from the family's chicken coop in his hand.
"Brother Guan, Brother Guan..."
"Da Gang, what's up? Why aren't you watching your stall? Why are you here?"
Li Dagang smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother Guan, isn't there some good news for you? Let's go, the deputy director is waiting in the car."
Upon hearing the good news, Guan Sanqing didn't think much of it. He shoved the hen in his hand into his subordinate's hand and followed Li Dagang happily toward the alley entrance, where Qiu Juncheng's car was parked.
When they reached the car, Li Dagang personally opened the door for the thief. Guan Sanqing stepped into the car, but before he could even sit down properly, Li Dagang took the gun from his waistband.
Li Dagang quietly got into the back seat, and Qiu Juncheng drove back.
Guan Sanqing, still oblivious, asked, "Director Qiu, what exactly do you want to see me about today?"
Qiu Juncheng said, "That's good news. The bureau chief sent me to pick you up. You'll know when we get back."
Along the way, Guan Sanqing tried his best to please Qiu Juncheng, and Li Dagang also kept echoing him. The three of them got along very well, and soon the group returned to the police station.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Li Dagang quickly opened the car door for Guan Sanqing. After he got out, Li Dagang stepped forward, grabbed his wrists, and handcuffed him with two clicks. Guan Sanqing was dumbfounded. "Dagang, what does this mean?"
"This is boring, let's go see the director."
After that, Guan Sanqing was pushed and shoved into the police station's interrogation room.
Luo Siyuan was soon brought into the interrogation room.
In this era, without the high technology of later generations, finding evidence was difficult, and everyone basically relied on memory recovery techniques to investigate cases.
Whether there are dates or not, you have to hit the target three times.
Therefore, Luo Siyuan came in without asking any questions, and started whipping the dog.
Guan Sanqing was terrified. "Chief, please, please don't hit me! I'll tell you whatever you want to ask!"
