Chapter 71 He Qiu surrenders
It is indeed illegal for military dependents to cheat, but it should also be handed over to the military for investigation.
Why would someone come to interrogate me?
The two policemen ignored her shouting. One of them sat opposite her and asked, "Name?"
"He, He Qiu, what on earth do you want to do?"
"He Qiu was born in the Kyoto Textile Factory compound, right?"
"right……"
"What were you doing on September 25th?"
He Qiu's body tensed up, and he lowered his head and said, "I just went to the market, I didn't do anything."
"We investigated your whereabouts that day. You separated from your husband Han Zhongguo after arriving in the city. Your whereabouts are unknown. You went to the supply and marketing cooperative around 9:30 and met a comrade from the military art troupe. You didn't buy anything the whole time, but just chatted with her, seemingly trying to stop her from going to the post office. What were you doing between 8 and 9:30?"
The police station had asked her this question last time, and He Qiu answered fluently: "I went for a walk in the park."
The park doesn't require a ticket and there are a lot of people. If she says she went there, who can prove that she hasn't been there?
"No, you didn't go to the park. Someone saw you using your money to buy a set of shabby clothes that morning. When the husband found out, he suspected you were profiteering and has now reported you to the police, but you still refuse to tell the truth!"
"Nonsense, I didn't buy her clothes, I clearly exchanged them for my meat!"
He Qiu suddenly came back to his senses, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and stammered and swallowed his saliva: "You, you are trying to induce a confession!"
She remembered that induced confessions did not count!
The middle-aged policeman lit a cigarette and smiled disdainfully: "How did you induce a confession? You said all the words yourself."
He Qiu then remembered that in the 1970s, it was normal to make wrong judgments, let alone induce confessions.
She couldn't help but tremble her hands, and kept comforting herself in her heart that as long as she didn't reveal her connection with the human traffickers, they would not be able to convict her.
Her expression was flickering, and anyone could see that she was feeling guilty.
The middle-aged policeman finished his cigarette and tapped his knuckles on the table: "He Qiu, if you tell the truth, you can suffer less.
You know, speculation and cheating in military marriage are enough to get you into trouble.
If you don't tell the truth and we find out, you may never be able to leave this prison in your lifetime.
Especially since we have found the clothes you discarded, as long as we restore your original attire and let the three traffickers identify you, your crime..."
He Qiu was already frightened.
She never expected that the clothes she lost could be found.
She clearly threw it all into the garbage station!
The atmosphere froze strangely.
The oppressive aura of the two policemen gradually broke down people's defenses.
He Qiu bit his lip, swallowed nervously, and put forward a condition with a flickering look in his eyes: "I want to see Chen Tang, otherwise I won't say anything."
The policeman opposite him crossed his arms, his lips curled up in a sarcastic tone: "Whether you tell me or not, just based on your cheating in a military marriage, you're already in jail."
"Confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be treated severely. If you tell the truth, you can get a lighter sentence."
"Once we find evidence that you are colluding with human traffickers, the minimum sentence will be ten years in prison. If the traffickers tell the truth first, your sentence will be even heavier."
"This is a chance we are giving you. If you don't cherish it, then you can only wish for the best."
He Qiu couldn't control his tears and fell.
She is not a very smart person, nor is she someone who can withstand pressure.
After the two policemen broke down his defenses step by step, he finally told the story.
But when the police asked her how she knew the hideout of the human traffickers, she said she dreamt about it, but the police didn't believe her.
In the end I had to make up a process that was a matter of accident.
The reason why she was able to get human traffickers to abduct Chen Tang was that she told the traffickers that she had a friend in the police station, and if they didn't do what she said, her friend would call the police immediately.
The policemen were speechless after hearing this. They didn't expect He Qiu to be so brave.
The key point is that it was the first time for those three human traffickers to experience such a thing. They actually took her money and obediently went to abduct their targets.
In the end, He Qiu was sentenced to fifteen years in prison.
He Qiu suddenly broke down and burst into tears.
She didn't expect that after all her hard work and planning of everything, she married Han Zhongguo, but ended up going to jail for it.
If she had known this would happen, she would have followed the path of her previous life.
Han Zhongguo and He Qiu's marriage was dissolved.
After He Xu went on a mission, Chen Tang also adhered to the concept of not getting involved in anything in the art troupe. After work, he went to his aunt's house for dinner and helped his aunt take care of the baby.
The art troupe performed two or three times a week. Perhaps because Shi Bing was leaving, the position of lead singer became vacant.
"Xu Hui, you will temporarily be the lead singer for this performance."
Captain Li's words silenced everyone present.
They all glanced at Shi Bing out of the corner of their eyes.
Xu Hui was called out, somewhat unwillingly: "Captain, I'm afraid I can't take on the responsibility, so Comrade Shi Bing should take the position."
Shi Bing has always had a good relationship with her since he came to the army.
Even though Shi Bing was somewhat related to the accident involving the female soldier in the dance troupe last time, she couldn't find anything after investigating. Plus, the female soldier in the accident couldn't control her mouth, so she felt a little sorry for Shi Bing.
Anyway, Shi Bing was about to leave, and she didn't mind singing lead once more. She might as well do him a favor. She didn't want the position of lead singer in the choir this time.
Captain Li has always had a good impression of Shi Bing, and she also knew the whole story of this incident. If she hadn't felt sorry for Shi Bing, she would have punished her long ago after knowing that Shi Bing had done such a cruel thing and had no evidence, instead of just sending her back to her original place of work.
"If you don't want to lead the singing, let someone else do it."
Xu Hui's talent in music has always been average, and if there was really no other candidate, she would definitely not give her this position.
Recently she has also been training Li Hong and Shen Tang, but she has not yet decided who will be the lead singer.
Xu Hui's face froze.
Just as he was about to speak, Shi Bing interrupted him: "Captain Li, I know you don't like me, but there's no need to be so against me. I didn't transfer my military status, and I didn't make any mistakes in my performance. The commander gave the lead singer position to his niece, so why use me as an excuse?"
Captain Li frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shi Bing pretended to be aggrieved: "If not, why is the lead singer position only temporarily given to Comrade Xu Hui?
In my opinion, Comrade Xu Hui is the one who can truly take on the role of lead singer.”
Xu Hui was a little embarrassed. She didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two.
But in his heart, he secretly agreed. How long have Li Hong and Shen Tang been in the army?
In terms of seniority and experience, you should be the one singing the lead.
"Xu Hui's shortcomings are too obvious, especially her rough voice. We can only choose a few fixed songs for each chorus, otherwise it is easy to go out of tune."
"But you can teach her, just like you taught Chen Tang. Pronunciation and singing both require methods. If you don't teach her, how can she sing well?"
Shi Bing's words seemed to have a hook, making everyone in the singing group angry.
Yes, why do Li Hong and Shen Tang get individual lessons?
The newspapers have said that people should be selfless and dedicate themselves to their work. If they could learn a little from this, why would they let two newcomers take over the lead singing position?
Captain Li's eyes darkened slightly: "I have taught you everything I should teach. Chen Tang and Li Hong have just joined the art troupe and are a little behind the pace, so I will teach them individually. If the two of them can learn and surpass you in such a short time, then shouldn't you react?"
Everyone choked, this was not wrong, the choir did not always sing the same few songs, sometimes they also had to compose their own music, and everyone's starting point was much higher than Chen Tang's. It was indeed their problem that they had not been favored by Captain Li for all these years.
Xu Hui knew that Shi Bing was speaking for her. She looked at Shi Bing with gratitude and said, "Captain, let Shi Bing lead the singing this time. She has experience. You can't deprive her of her last chance to go on stage just because of what happened before, right?"
