Old Man Qin nodded vigorously, "I say, I say, you must be lenient with me.
I can’t remember which day it was, but one night, I went for a walk in the park. Next to the grove of trees in the park, a masked man in black covered my mouth and dragged me inside.
He held a knife against me to prevent me from making any sound. He told me that we should persuade Junyi from my family to work together to get rid of He Qixian, and then frame Chu Baichuan. By then, the several houses and savings of the He family will all belong to our Qin family.
When I heard that someone was going to kill someone, I was a little scared, but the man immediately took out two gold bars and five hundred yuan. From his tone, I could tell that he was quite capable. As long as this task was done well, there would be more benefits in the future.
I agreed to go back and discuss it with the old lady, and she gave me her contact information.
If you need to find him, just write a note and put it in the hole of the tree by the lake in the park, then draw a check mark on the tree.
After I went back, I discussed it with the old lady and the others and agreed to his request. After all, even if this thing doesn't work out, my family has earned two gold bars and 500 yuan, so it's not a loss at all.
The next day I put a note in the tree hole and drew a check mark with white lime. A few days later, he threw two gold bars and five hundred yuan through the wall, and told us that it would be best to get rid of Old Man He in a way that would not be easily discovered by others.
Xiao Yihan said seriously, "Qin Zhengde, tell me how you got the radio and code book under your bed!"
Old Man Qin was trembling all over, and his voice was shaking as he said, "That was given to us by the masked man. He asked us to put it in Chu Baichuan's office, intending to use it to frame him as a spy."
Xiao Yihan smiled coldly and said, "There's a letter inside this new radio and code book, explaining your mission. We're aware of this. There are two radios under the bed. I'm asking where the old radio and code book came from."
There is also a letter under your bed. This letter is written in Fangsong font, which is a typical font used by espionage activities to prevent exposure. The general meaning of the letter is that you are asked to serve Taiwan, collect some intelligence, frame our comrades, and give official titles to everyone in your family.
Your eldest son Qin Junyi and you were both conferred the rank of colonel. Your other sons and daughters-in-law were given the rank of lieutenant colonel, major, or the lowest rank of lieutenant.
We also found in your home the commendation telegrams you received and several medals awarded by Taiwan for your missions over the years.
We've checked the gold and silver rewards, and they match the amount stated in the telegram. Calculating by the time you've worked for Taiwan for at least 10 years, right?
When Old Man Qin heard this, he was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. He shook his head like a rattle, "Impossible, impossible, we have never done this before, how is this possible, you must be mistaken.
Someone must have framed us. We are all honest and decent people."
Chu Jingqiu said jokingly, "You are honest people. It's really ridiculous that you are so honest that you conspired to plot against my grandfather.
You're so honest that you conspired to poison my grandfather, and you're so honest that you used the radio and the code book to frame my father, and you still have the nerve to call yourself honest. I've never met anyone as honest as you."
A young comrade nearby couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Tell the truth, you are counter-revolutionaries, your whole family is counter-revolutionaries."
Old man Qin pleaded with a tearful face, "Young comrade, if you say we planned to murder Mr. He, we admit it. We are not spies. Counter-revolutionaries are beheaded! We would never dare to do it. We are just greedy for money, we really wouldn't dare to do anything else!"
Qi Yue interrupted, "Do you know that the masked man who contacted you is actually a spy? If you help them, you are a counter-revolutionary and a spy."
Old man Qin was so frightened that he collapsed on the chair, his mouth crooked, his eyes turned outward, and he was drooling. He was carried away by the staff for treatment.
Then Old Lady Qin was brought in. As soon as she entered the room, she sat on the ground, slapping her legs and crying. Later, she was forcibly pulled up from the ground and handcuffed to the interrogation chair. Only then did she become much more obedient.
She first honestly explained how she harmed others, which was basically consistent with the descriptions of Qin Junyi and Qin Zhijian.
Qi Yue recalled the day when Old Lady Qin went to the hospital to peek, so he asked, "Old Lady Qin, what were you doing in the hospital that day? Were you planning to harm Old Lady He again in the hospital?"
Old Lady Qin shook her head like a rattle, "Comrade, I don't dare to do anything in the hospital. I just want to see if Mr. He is dying. If he is, we will report Chu Baichuan immediately.
Later, when I met Xiaoqiu, I didn't see it either, didn't I? Xiaoqiu can prove that I didn't enter the ward, right? Xiaoqiu?"
Chu Jingqiu curled her lips. "So what happened after you went to the hospital? What did you think and what did you do?"
Old Mrs. Qin swallowed guiltily and said, "We went home and discussed it. We thought your grandpa might really be fine. Later, the old man asked the sixth daughter-in-law to write a note to that person and put it in the tree hole."
Xiao Yihan asked about the old radio under the bed again. Old Mrs. Qin refused to admit that they had done it and only admitted that they had conspired to poison.
Qi Yue glanced at Old Lady Qin and said, "Since you don't admit your spy activities, then tell me where your gold bars and silver dollars came from?"
Old Mrs. Qin choked, "This... This is the money our family worked hard to earn, the money we saved."
Xiao Yihan asked again: "What kind of business does your family do to make so much money?"
Old Lady Qin had no choice but to whisper, "It was the money Junyi earned from stealing the He family's grain and selling some valuable belongings."
Later, he interrogated other members of the Qin family, and they all admitted to poisoning Mr. He. No one admitted to being a spy. Xiao Yihan had the Qin family members taken away first.
After interrogating the Qin family, it was almost 12 noon. Xiao Yihan and Qi Yue drove Chu Jingqiu and his grandson home.
When they arrived at the He family, they found that Mr. and Mrs. Xiao were also sitting there. They also knew that the case had been solved, so they were waiting for Xiao Yihan and the others to come back to find out the details.
The He family's meal was also ready. Li Peilan was happy today. Seeing that Grandpa Xiao was coming, she prepared a large table of dishes and waited for Grandpa He and others to come back to celebrate.
Everyone washed their hands and sat around the table to eat. Xiao Yihan told the story of the Qin family's poisoning. After listening, Old Man Xiao said, "Yihan, the Qin family is completely unscrupulous. Your responsibility is to protect the leader's safety. After the poisoning is investigated, the rest of the matter will be handed over to the Revolutionary Committee!
The Qin family's counter-revolutionary activities have been reported to the Revolutionary Committee. The evidence is irrefutable. Let's see how to deal with them!"
Mr. He could eat some easily digestible food. In front of him was a bowl of egg custard. He had just scooped a spoonful with his small spoon when he suddenly thought of the man who was caught in the hospital yesterday. He asked, "Yi Han, who was the mastermind behind the incident that was caught in the hospital last night? What's his background?"
