What Liu Zhanyu said was true, and Jiang Qiao had to admit it. "Even if we take Dou Yanhua to the execution ground, I estimate that Cobra won't even show his face. He'll make sure that woman doesn't come out."
Okay, let's not talk about Dou Yanhua for now. Let's talk about Cobra. All these years, tell me, has Cobra gotten married or not?
Liu Zhanyu and Jian Ling gave different answers to this question. Liu Zhanyu felt that they should get married, at least to have a family to cover up and make it easier for the other party to hide.
However, Jian Ling didn't think so. "What's there to hide? He has a family. Do you think he can hide anything from the person he sleeps with? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Unless, of course, the person beside her is the same as him; besides, if the two of them had a child, there would be even more to worry about.
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Okay, let's move on to the next one. Even Uncle San doesn't know who this Cobra is. Do you think this is reliable?"
As far as I know, Xu Shaoqing and this woman were very close back then. Tell me, if Xu Shaoqing really was this Cobra, how come they never even had a chance to meet in all these years?
This was a difficult question for both of them to answer. Jian Ling pondered for a moment. Based on her understanding of Xu Shaoqing, he was usually very low-key, and you could never tell his emotions. If he wanted to deliberately avoid someone, there was really nothing that was impossible.
"Jiang Qiao, that woman is quite capable, but don't forget, if the two of you are not in the same city, where will she go to meet such a person?"
That woman is so old, let alone Cobra. So many years have passed. If I'm not mistaken, Cobra must be over fifty years old.
Even if the two of them were to meet, the woman might not recognize him.
Everyone knows Xu Shaoqing's background, and he won't easily reveal his true identity, since quite a few people knew him back then.
But it's unlikely that one can disguise oneself every day; it's impossible for a person to maintain this disguise without making a mistake all the time.
I suspect that Xu Shaoqing has changed his appearance so much that even people who know him wouldn't recognize him.
This was Jian Ling's judgment, and it was also a question that Jiang Qiao had been pondering.
"You're right, I think so too. Perhaps this person's appearance has changed so much that even people who used to know him wouldn't recognize him."
However, there is another possibility: his profession does not require him to deal with many people, which makes it convenient for him to do some shady things, and he can also go out and about from time to time without asking for leave or getting a letter of introduction.
Everyone should think about this more, consider what he might be doing, and then work towards that goal.
Liu Zhanyu nodded and sighed, "As far as I know, other groups have investigated this Cobra, but they haven't made any progress. You know, this Cobra hasn't been in our sights for very long. If it weren't for Lone Wolf and Uncle Three keeping watch, who would even know that such a person exists?"
"Jianling, tell me, what kind of work is this cobra likely to do?"
Jian Ling shook her head. "I haven't decided yet. As Jiang Qiao said, what kind of job would be so convenient?"
Unless he is a leader who doesn't have to worry about others' opinions and can just ask for a letter of introduction and have a legitimate reason to go out.
This person is either a leader, a purchasing agent, or at the very least, a train conductor; they might travel to other places and don't need any paperwork.
Liu Zhanyu shook his head. "These things are convenient, but don't forget, sending telegrams isn't that easy. With so many people involved, it's easy to get exposed."
Jiang Qiao is the way she is now because everyone knows what she does; it's perfectly normal for her to do this kind of thing.
However, that cobra has been operating stealthily for so many years without arousing suspicion, which makes us think twice.
Jian Ling said irritably, "Then tell me, what exactly does he do?"
Liu Zhanyu shook his head helplessly and gave a bitter smile. "If I had known, I wouldn't be sitting here. I would have gone to arrest them long ago. Would this have happened?"
"Stop, everyone, don't be so argumentative. We're discussing serious matters here. We need to come to a conclusion quickly, otherwise, not only me, but even Lao Liu will probably have to go and cooperate with their investigation."
It's hard to say when they'll be able to come out, so while they're still celebrating the New Year, we need to have the right direction and investigate in that direction to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Let me tell you, although I believe in the organization, I don't believe in certain people. Why were my grandfather and the others all injured when they came here?
You all understand this without me having to say it, so I'm worried that Jiang Jinyu will have the same problem.
Think it over carefully, we don't have much time left. I'm begging you two elders to help me come up with a unified opinion.
Let me first share my thoughts. These testimonies are probably based on the people Zhu Yunshan's team arrested, right?
Liu Zhanyu nodded. "It should be."
Jiang Qiao continued, "Logically speaking, Zhu Yunshan's status is not low. You know, we've caught someone like him. This Cobra should be very willing to let him go."
But as I watched, he did just as many bad things as I could. He caused so much trouble here that I almost got myself killed in the process.
Therefore, I think he has other people under his control, who belong to another line. Those people should have some status. At least, sending people to labor camps is not something that just anyone can do.
I'd like to ask, what stage has the investigation reached?
Liu Zhanyu shook his head. "I don't know about that yet. I rushed here after the incident. I really don't know how they're investigating. I'll have Chen Fang ask them later. You can continue."
"Next, it should be our turn. I wonder what Zhao Jian and the others found out at the farm. Remember to ask them about it later."
Let's get back to the main point. What I mean is that the people on this line don't miss the opportunity to send intelligence to Cobra.
So what kind of place allows Cobra to send out intelligence so freely and unchecked for so many years?
For a moment, Liu Zhanyu and Jian Ling were both deep in thought. They had to consider the convenience of traveling, not having to worry about being targeted by others, and being able to support themselves. What kind of job was suitable for him?
Jiang Qiao remarked, "Archaeology is actually a pretty good job, but I wonder if this Cobra would do such work?"
Jian Ling shook her head at Jiang Qiao, meaning that Xu Shaoqing was not good at this.
Liu Zhanyu shook his head. "Even if you go on an archaeological expedition, there are rules. You can't just bring whatever you want. Besides, there are so many people. It's not convenient for you to send a telegram. They all live in tents in the wild. It's unlikely."
