"Jiang Hua said that she met the smuggler Wang Qiuju through you. Do you agree with this statement?"
Facing the interrogator's aggressive gaze, Yun Qiao replied expressionlessly, "Leader, I don't agree."
"Then tell me what the relationship between you two is!" The interrogator put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Yun Qiao with sharp eyes, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Yun Qiao took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "First, Jiang Hua and I have an average relationship. We're just ordinary colleagues. Two months ago, she suddenly arrived in the ward and took away my medical position, forcing me to become an ordinary nurse under her supervision. I've been resentful of this, so our relationship is just average. Every time she invites me to dinner or something, I usually refuse."
"What I said above is completely true. Nurse Gao Qian, who works in the same bathroom with me, can testify to this. You can go ask Nurse Gao if my relationship with Jiang Hua is the same as what I said."
"Based on this fact, she said she met Wang Qiuju through me. This is a complete false accusation! Would you introduce someone you know to someone you have only a passing relationship with?"
"No way, this is totally against common sense."
"First, Wang Qiuju and I were childhood neighbors. She went to the countryside ten years ago, and we had no contact in between. I didn't even know she was here. It wasn't until eight years ago when I went to the 58th Farm to work in the countryside and ran into her by chance on the mountain that I realized she and I had gone to the same place and that she had changed her name to the one we use today, Wang Qiuju."
"But even so, our relationship was not that close, and we rarely visited each other. Later, when I married and moved to the base, our contact became even less frequent."
"Last August, she suddenly called me several times, hoping to ask for my help. I refused, but she refused and brought her children to the base again. I still firmly refused."
"Words are not enough. How can you prove that what you said is true?" the interrogator questioned.
"How can we prove it?" Yun Qiao couldn't help but laugh. "You guys can prove it for me! You all know why Wang Qiuju came to me. My husband reported it to you at the time, and Wang Qiuju's husband Tang Yi was arrested because of it. Doesn't this prove my innocence? What else do I need to explain?"
The two interrogators looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
After a long moment, one of them slowly spoke, "Comrade Qin Yunqiao, while what you've described is true, there are still some doubts that remain unexplained. For example, why would Jiang Hua frame you? If you were truly as distant as you claim, she wouldn't have fabricated such a lie."
Yun Qiao sighed softly, "I'm not sure about that. Maybe she has her own ideas. But no matter what, you can't convict me based on her one-sided statement, right?"
The conversation reached a deadlock, and the interrogators walked out of the interrogation room but did not let Yun Qiao out.
Yun Qiao stayed in the inquiry room for a full six hours, even having lunch there. During this time, he kept answering the inquiries from all sorts of tricky angles.
Yun Qiao had never done anything illegal, so he was not afraid of being questioned.
Just tell the truth whatever you are asked.
After questioning, the interrogators realized that Yun Qiao was innocent, but they still did not let her go.
Six hours later, the door to the interrogation room suddenly opened, and a young assistant walked in. He stood and whispered something in the ear of one of the interrogators. The interrogator then stood up and said to Yun Qiao, "Comrade Qin Yunqiao, after investigation, we have confirmed that Jiang Hua's testimony is untrue. She did make false accusations against you. We apologize for any misunderstanding."
Yun Qiao shook his head: "Just find out the truth."
She stood up, straightened her wrinkled clothes, looked at the information officer, and asked, "Can I leave now?"
"Okay." The interviewer nodded and opened the door to the inquiry room.
"Thanks."
Yun Qiao walked out of the interrogation room. The sunlight outside shone in her face, causing her eyes to squint slightly.
After being in a dim office for a long time, Yun Qiao felt dizzy for a moment when he suddenly came out and was hit by the dazzling sunlight.
She staggered two steps and managed to steady herself by holding onto the wall.
Just then, a familiar figure walked towards her quickly.
Yun Qiao recognized it as He Tingjun.
He Tingjun's face was full of worry. He gently held her arm with his big hand and asked her caringly, "Yun Qiao, are you okay?"
Yun Qiao shook his head. "No, I just came out of the house suddenly and was hit by the sun, so I felt a little dizzy."
"No need to worry." He Tingjun asked softly: "Can you walk? Do you want me to carry you?"
Yun Qiao could walk, but after hearing what He Tingjun said, he immediately opened his arms to him: "My legs are weak, I need you to carry me."
He Tingjun squatted in front of her and said, "Come up."
Yun Qiao lay on his back, He Tingjun held her legs and carried her home.
Along the way, neither of them spoke. Yun Qiao put his face against He Tingjun's back, feeling his steady steps, and his mood also strangely calmed down.
When they got home, Feng Juan, Yan Jingwan and Qin Zheng were all gone for a rare occasion.
Yun Qiao patted He Tingjun's shoulder and signaled him to put him down.
He Tingjun bowed and put her down. Yun Qiao took a few steps forward and asked, "Brother, sister-in-law, why are you all here?"
"I'm worried about you." Yan Jingwan said, "They didn't give you any trouble, did they?"
"No." Yun Qiao smiled slightly, reporting only good news and not bad news: "They just asked me some routine questions. After I answered them, I was cleared of suspicion and was released."
Yun Qiao said it easily, but everyone present knew that the situation was not as simple as she said.
Jiang Hua was deliberately trying to drag her into this, insisting that Yun Qiao had introduced her to the smuggling business. No matter how hard she pressed, she insisted it was Yun Qiao. Without Yun Qiao's introduction, she wouldn't have known Tang Yi and Wang Qiuju, nor would she have been involved in smuggling.
When Wang Qiuju came to the base to find Yun Qiao, Yun Qiao did not hide it for her and told the whole thing to He Tingjun. He Tingjun then reported it to the military, and the military arrested Tang Yi. However, this time Yun Qiao could not clear herself of the suspicion.
After all, the bond between Jiang Hua and Tang Yi Wang Qiuju is indeed Yun Qiao.
But Yun Qiao himself didn't know about it.
Jiang Hua overheard their conversation. After Jiang Hua left, she secretly followed them and got in touch with Wang Qiuju. On the same day, she contacted the core members of the smuggling team through the couple.
The next day, Tang Yi was arrested and Wang Qiuju disappeared, but this did not extinguish Jiang Hua's desire to make some extra money.
She colluded with a group of leaders of the military uniform factory and resold military products, starting with small items such as towels and soaps. After making money and tasting the sweetness, she gradually became bolder when she saw that no one found out. She started selling green military uniforms, military boots, military coats...all for takeout.
