According to Jiang Qiao, they contacted other brother units and interrogated the spies they had already captured. Finally, they found out about Sha Junchi from an old spy. In particular, the spy recognized Li Cheng's identity immediately when he saw Li Cheng's photo.
Jiang Qiao didn't expect the police to handle the case so quickly. Well, it's true, it involves spies, which is a big deal. If these people get too arrogant, it will definitely lead to serious trouble.
As for Sha Junchi, he was taken into custody as soon as he arrived at his workplace. The prison officials, including Section Chief Xing and the person Sha Junchi wanted to see, were also taken away by the Public Security Bureau. Jiang Qiao had no idea what happened next.
Early in the morning, she and Ying Boda went to the prison in a police car.
When Gu Zhengkai was called over by the prison guard, he was puzzled, but when he saw Jiang Qiao sitting upright in the warden's office, even he was stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and stood up. "Uncle Gu, do you still recognize this person?"
This time, Director Cui personally brought people over to inquire about the situation. Seeing the policeman smiling at him, Gu Zhengkai was still puzzled. He couldn't quite remember who this person was.
"You look familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen you before."
Director Cui excitedly grabbed Gu Zhengkai's hand. "Comrade Gu, have you forgotten? Back then, when we went to buy medicine, it was you who saved us, saved all of our injured comrades."
After being reminded, Gu Zhengkai finally remembered who the person in front of him was. "Your surname is Cui, right?"
Director Cui smiled and nodded, tears welling up in his eyes. "I never expected that we would meet again in such a setting after this separation. Comrade Gu Zhengkai, you have been wronged. Regardless of whether your identity can be proven, in my heart, you are a good person, a good person who has helped us."
Gu Zhengkai never expected that his situation would take such a dramatic turn, with someone he had once helped reappearing.
"It's alright, I'm not upset, as long as the matter is investigated thoroughly—"
Jiang Qiao pursed her lips. "Director Cui, you'd better find a way to get evidence in the future. You can't let your comrades suffer this injustice. What are comrades who are not afraid to sacrifice their lives for the revolution most afraid of? They are afraid of being misunderstood. They clearly have a red heart, but they are falsely accused of having a black heart. That would be a huge injustice."
Gu Zhengkai knew that his niece was speaking up for him. Ever since he received the big bag of clothes that the child had sent in through prison guard Liu, he hadn't slept well. Not only were they all new, but she had also prepared two extra sets for him to change into. Just preparing these things must have cost a lot of money, not to mention his father's current condition. He couldn't understand how the little girl had gotten them.
How did Jiang Qiao get in touch with Liu, the prison guard? Because during the meal, he could even sense that Old Liu seemed to be treating him exceptionally well, unlike before.
Gu Zhengkai wouldn't simply assume that this person suddenly found him handsome after taking a nap; there must be a reason behind it.
As for the reason, his intuition told him it was his niece, but he didn't know what abilities this child had to get involved with these two people.
He had so many questions in his mind, but no one could answer them for him. Now that he could finally see the person in person, he was excited, but he couldn't help but wonder how this child got here. Could it be that Comrade Cui was also transferred here by her niece?
"Comrade Gu, let's sit down and talk. Ah, it feels like just yesterday I thought I'd never see you again. I never imagined we'd be so lucky to meet again. We've both gotten so old—"
"Uncle Gu, Director Cui came to see you, since you are an old acquaintance. Also, he wants to know about your background back then."
Just tell me anything you know, and they'll help you investigate. Actually, I also want to know what happened back then. If you really are one of their comrades, then I'll share in their glory too.
Looking at his little niece's expression, Gu Zhengkai didn't know how to describe his feelings. This girl is a good actress. Acting in front of so many shrewd people, isn't she afraid of being exposed?
I don't know who this child took after; neither his sister-in-law nor his brother and his wife are like this.
However, he didn't show it on his face; he knew in his heart who the child was doing it for.
I will honestly and clearly explain to everyone what happened back then.
"...Because both my superiors and subordinates have run into trouble, I haven't been able to contact the organization. I don't know who to contact. Even if I had run into you back then, I wouldn't have been able to clearly explain my identity, and I'm afraid you wouldn't have believed me..."
Jiang Qiao listened and took notes, as did the police officer next to her, but no one knew what they were writing down.
After hearing her uncle's story, Jiang Qiao felt really sad. What was the point of a grown man staying here for so many years just to get proof of his innocence?
Looking at the excited Gu Zhengkai, Jiang Qiao blinked and then looked at Ying Boda. "Uncle Ying, can I ask a question? In Uncle Gu's case, let's set aside what he needs to prove and just talk about his current identity. How long does he need to stay here?"
Jiang Qiao didn't want her uncle to waste his life here for this reason. People can have more pursuits. Since it can't be proven for the time being, let's take it slowly. But staying here means he can't do anything. His elderly father and young son are waiting at home.
Ying Boda pondered for a moment and said, "I've reviewed his application materials. Logically, he should be able to leave next year."
Jiang Qiao looked at Gu Zhengkai and said, "Uncle Gu, your matter has been going on for a long time. Finding those people won't be something that can be done in a short time. What do you mean? Do you want to stay here or go home and wait for news?"
Gu Zhengkai hadn't expected his niece to ask such a question. He hadn't thought about it before; he just wanted to prove his identity. But if he really left, how would he prove his identity?
Director Cui spoke up again, "I think it would be better to follow the normal procedures. Comrade Gu, we will definitely expedite this matter. As for you, your term is up, you should go home. After all, you have a father and children waiting for you to take care of them."
Jiang Qiao came all this way for you, it's really not easy for her, don't you think?"
Jiang Qiao suddenly remembered a problem: what should she do if her uncle went back?
Putting aside his status as the son of a landlord, just considering his past imprisonment, if he were in the countryside, his situation would probably be no better than being in prison.
Jiang Qiao looked at Director Cui and Ying Boda, her face immediately filled with a smile. "Uncles, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's suitable or not. You two should listen to it first. If it's not appropriate, we can discuss it further."
Look at my uncle's current status, it is indeed quite special. Although we can't call him a hero, we can't deny that he has indeed helped you and the organization a lot.
Although the identities of those people he mentioned have not yet been confirmed, Uncle Cui, as a witness, was present at the scene.
I think it would be better to let my uncle stay in prison and help with some work, while he can go home to see his elderly parents and children and move around freely.
"You guys should pay him a salary, consider it temporary employment. Once his identity is verified, we'll see what the organization's arrangements are. What do you think?"
