Jiang Qiao glanced at the other party and said, "That's more like it. You're so old, and you still don't know this much? You insist on going down this dark path. You should think about your child, not yourself. Alright, I won't waste any more words. You can start the interrogation."
Jiang Qiao didn't interfere with the interrogation; she listened from the sidelines. Hou Diankui was right after all. This guy in front of her really did steal something last night, and he was one of the people who were trained and then placed under Xu Shaoqing's leadership.
How many of you are left? Where are you all?
The other party shook his head. "I don't know either. There were more than 20 people in training at the time. I don't know where they went afterward. After the training, we all went into hiding according to instructions, waiting for orders to cooperate in the operation."
However, last night I met four other people. Because of the rules, we didn't ask each other about each other. I don't know much about their backgrounds, but they were definitely not the people who trained with us.
There is one person I've seen before, but I don't know where he lives. I often see him when I take the bus to work; he works at a food factory.
After asking the man the name of his factory, Song Shutian asked again, "Was that cobra with you last night?"
The man nodded. "Yes, but he took all the information we obtained. Those four men left with Cobra. However, he gave me another task."
It's about contacting people in the delegation..."
What followed was similar to what Tang Xuefei had said; it was all about the same place and using a coded message to communicate.
"Cobra told me to ask the other party where the item was, whether it was in the hands of the delegation members or through another channel."
If it's in the hands of the delegation, and someone working with us gets it, after we get it, he gives me an address and tells me to deliver it there. The address is in my pocket—"
Zhang Dalei took a piece of paper out of the man's underwear pocket and glanced at its contents.
"From the south—"
Song Shutian took it, glanced at it, and then handed it to Jiang Qiao, continuing to ask questions. Unfortunately, the man didn't know much; he didn't know where Xu Shaoqing had gone or how to contact him.
After finding out what those people looked like, Song Shutian told Zhang Dalei to quickly investigate that person.
"Jiang Qiao, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at the man and asked, "How much do you know about cobras?"
The man shook his head. "Aside from needing to deliver messages, we rarely have any contact. To be honest, the cobra I saw last night was a bit different from the ones I've seen before."
Well, the beard is gone, he looks much younger, and his voice sounds a bit different than before. If he hadn't been able to call me by my code name, I would have thought he was a completely different person.
Jiang Qiao continued, "When you drove there, did you see what Cobra took? Besides the weapons you brought, you had plenty of ammunition?"
The man shook his head. "Of course we don't have much ammunition. Usually, when there's a large-scale operation, Cobra will have someone bring some over to us."
Last night, I actually saw a box in the car, but I'm not sure whose it was.
"Did Cobra tell you that you had other helpers?"
The man shook his head. "He wouldn't tell me about something like this beforehand. You can't figure out what Cobra is thinking. He never gives you a chance to understand him."
Jiang Qiao sighed and shook her head at Song Shutian, "I'm fine now."
Song Shutian was also helpless. How to put it? He really admired Cobra. None of his subordinates were close to him. The only strategist he knew was a little fox.
"Alright, we'll ask you whatever it is. Take him away."
After everyone left, Song Shutian asked Jiang Qiao, "Do you think that box belonged to Cobra? Was he planning to escape?"
Jiang Qiao looked helpless. "It looks like they're going to escape, but it's hard to say how far or near they'll escape."
Song Shutian closed his notebook. "Alright, let's stop guessing here. Let's go upstairs, talk to the director, and have everyone give it a second opinion."
Jiang Qiao slowly stood up, but the further she walked, the greater the distance between her and Song Shutian became. Even as she walked, Jiang Qiao's mind was not idle; she sorted out the whole story from beginning to end.
"Jiang Qiao, what are you thinking about? Hurry up."
Song Shutian turned his head and saw that Jiang Qiao was far behind, so he had no choice but to call out to her.
"They're here—"
When Jiang Qiao caught up, Song Shutian asked as they walked, "Do you have an answer?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "No, this person either leaves or stays. There are only two possibilities."
Furthermore, why isn't he in a hurry to sell what they stole? Unless stealing the data is also a cover for his purpose.
I think it would be best to have your people investigate and see if there are any people or items that the other party doesn't want others to take away.
Since the other party suddenly sent such a telegram at this time, and even changed their method of communication, its content should be credible.
After the two went inside, they told Jiang Jinyu about the interrogation. Jian Ling was worried after hearing it.
"Where is this person? Did he go south?"
After reading the note, Jiang Jinyu addressed everyone present, saying, "You all know what you need to know. Now, tell me what you all think. Master Hou, you and Jian Ling came later. You are older, so tell me your thoughts."
Hou Diankui looked at Jiang Jinyu in surprise. "You want me to speak?"
Jiang Jinyu smiled and nodded, "You've helped us so much and participated in this matter, so of course you have the right to speak. Besides, your opinion might play a crucial role."
Hou Diankui didn't expect Jiang Jinyu to value his thoughts so much. He cleared his throat and said, "Since Director Jiang asked me to speak, then I'll share my opinion."
I have no idea what this cobra was thinking. If I were him, why wouldn't I leave now?
There are still children over there; it's been so many years since I've seen them. I don't miss my son, but I must see my grandson.
Whether you have feelings or not, at our age, we don't think about anything else but want to live a few more days. Don't say we were so great when we were young; at my age, I'm afraid of dying.
Although this cobra is also an old man, people are different. I wonder if this cobra has the same thoughts as me. Perhaps he is different from others?
I remember Jiang Qiao once said, "No matter how much money you have, if you don't live to spend it, it's all for nothing."
Jian Ling patted Hou Diankui on the back. "Grandpa, you're absolutely right. No matter how cunning this cobra is, he's still afraid of dying. If he doesn't get out of this mess, when will he?"
