The two soon arrived at the Qiao family's house in the ministry compound. The Qiao family's house was surrounded by people, and a large number of police officers and soldiers were there to maintain order.
Qi Yue was waiting for them at the door of the room. In the bedroom of Qiao Zhihua's house, he was lying on the bed with a calm expression. There was a bullet hole on his temple and his right hand was tightly holding a silenced pistol. He looked like he was asleep.
There was a letter on the table next to him. Xiao Yihan put on gloves, picked up the letter and read it carefully.
Qiao Zhihua wrote in the letter: I am Ma Yaowu, the former chief of the Telecommunications Department of the Taipei Military Control Station. In 1949, I was ordered to go undercover as Qiao Zhihua. My code name is Taotie.
I knew I had been exposed, and I knew I was guilty of a grave crime. I didn't want to suffer in prison any longer, so I chose to end my life.
In fact, I had already forgotten my original dream over the years. I also thought about living an ordinary life as Qiao Zhihua.
But my greed for the huge amount of treasure made me grit my teeth and persevere, because I knew it was impossible for me to get that treasure in this lifetime.
My life is a failure, a life of loss of self.
My wife Meng Yannan, son Qiao Rucheng and daughter Qiao Ruyun do not know my true identity. From now on, I have severed ties with them.
I hope that after I die, the organization will spare my innocent wife and children.
Zeng Xuyang and Xiao Yihan carefully observed the scene and found nothing else suspicious in the house, nor any signs of a fight.
No matter how you look at it, it was the scene where Ma Yaowu committed suicide alone.
Xiao Yihan always felt that this matter ended too easily. He carefully observed the wound on Qiao Zhihua's temple and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Lao Zeng, come here and take a look. Ma Yaowu doesn't look like he committed suicide.
When Zeng Xuyang heard the news, he hurried over.
Xiao Yihan pointed at Ma Yaowu's wound and said, "If Ma Yaowu committed suicide, the gun was very close to his temple. Shooting at close range would cause slight burns due to the muzzle pressing against the skin.
But look at his wound, there's no burn at all, which means someone shot him from a distance and killed him."
Zeng Xuyang hurried over to check, and just as Xiao Yihan said, there were no signs of burns around the wound.
Xiao Yihan looked up at Zeng Xuyang and said, "Let's have the forensic doctor examine Ma Yaowu's arm to see if there is any gunshot residue, or smoke reaction.
If it can't be detected, it means Ma Yaowu didn't fire the gun himself."
The two of them hurriedly notified the forensic doctor to come and examine the case, and they began to search the Qiao family's house.
However, nothing was found in the Qiao family's home. No items related to espionage activities were found, nor were any secret rooms or mezzanines discovered.
Xiao Yihan immediately thought of the old story that Mr. He had told about Ma Yaowu. He had previously hidden his top-secret documents in the safe at his mistress's house.
It was impossible for him to find nothing while conducting espionage activities. Xiao Yihan thought of Mo Yuyin again. It seemed that the only way to find a loophole was through Mo Yuyin.
After the two returned from Qiao's house, they immediately interrogated Mo Yuyin again.
Mo Yuyin thought that Xiao Yihan had no way to deal with her in the morning, so she hurriedly found an excuse to go out.
When she was brought into the interrogation room again, there was a hint of smugness on her face.
Before Xiao Yihan could speak, she said smugly, "So, was Director Qiao angry this morning? Did he criticize you?
You called me here to apologize, didn't you? If you just let me go, I'll speak well of you in front of Director Qiao and won't hold you accountable."
Xiao Yihan snorted coldly and said calmly, "Mo Yuyin, let me tell you, we have a lot of evidence proving that you are a spy. No one can save you now.
Don't think you can just talk your way out of guilt. We still hope you'll confess honestly and seek leniency."
Mo Yuyin rolled her eyes, made a "tsk" sound, and simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Xiao Yihan stared at Mo Yuyin with a sharp gaze, and suddenly sneered, "Okay, since you won't say it, then I'll say it for you. I understand from you what it means to be eloquent.
Back then, Ma Zhanshan selected a person from the underground party who was most similar to Ma Yaowu in terms of body shape and skeleton and put him in solitary confinement. This person was Qiao Zhihua.
Afterwards, Ma Yaowu mysteriously disappeared in Taipei. He did not go to Taiwan as outsiders said, but secretly flew to Country M and successfully underwent plastic surgery to look like Qiao Zhihua.
As Ma Yaowu's most beloved concubine, you were the one who accompanied him throughout the plastic surgery and was responsible for taking care of his daily life.
After returning to Taipei, he secretly killed our comrade Qiao Zhihua and all the underground party members who might know him, and then impersonated him and entered the Taipei prison.
In order to convince everyone of Ma Yaowu's identity, he even resorted to a cruel trick, deliberately allowing others to beat him all over his body.
After being rescued by our people, he successfully hid among us, and you transformed yourself into his cousin from the countryside and came to seek refuge with him."
As Xiao Yihan spoke, he observed Mo Yuyin's expression. Although she had her eyes closed, beads of sweat kept dripping down her face and her body was trembling slightly.
Xiao Yihan continued, "After liberation, Ma Yaowu, relying on Qiao Zhihua's contributions, rose through the ranks step by step until he reached his current position.
Ma Yaowu impersonated Comrade Qiao Zhihua, so the person he married had to undergo strict review by the organization. Obviously, your identity could not withstand the organization's review.
