The Revolutionary Committee members found Liu Zhengxing near the state-run hotel.

Liu Zhengxing did not actually eat at the state-run restaurant.

However, after being found, he did not resist and cooperated fully, going directly to the police station.

Upon arriving at the police station, everyone smelled the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.

Qiao Lanshu was sitting in the office next door with the door open. When she smelled the aroma, she said, "It smells so good, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

Qin Yuanzheng, who was sitting next to him, said, "I guess Liu Zhengxing just ate. There's a roasted sweet potato stall in the alley behind the state-run restaurant. It's pretty good. It's a bit late today, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

Qiao Lanshu nodded.

She was still thinking to herself, "Liu Zhengxing is such an old man, how could he still go out to buy roasted sweet potatoes late at night?"

That's really surprising.

Surprisingly, when Liu Zhengxing was being questioned in the interrogation room by Li Jianlin and the others, he naturally denied the allegations of forced buying and selling.

He said, "I'm a cadre, a Party member, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

Guan Wenjun slammed his fist on the table in anger, pointing at him and yelling, "How dare you say that? Isn't Liu Weidong your son? I now reasonably suspect that Liu Weidong did all these things entirely at your behest!"

Liu Zhengxing sat there, his figure was rather thin, and his temperament was refined. Even when Guan Wenjun yelled at him like that, his expression remained very calm.

He said, "Director Guan, if you want to frame someone, you can always find a pretext. Anyway, I am innocent, and you can forget about forcing a confession out of me."

As he spoke, Liu Zhengxing countered, saying contemptuously, "Director Guan, if someone can convict me just by reporting me, then I'll report Li Jianlin and Qin Yuanzheng, an officer from the 21st Regiment, for instructing their brothers or wives to smuggle opium for profit. They should be arrested and interrogated together as well. What do you think?"

Li Jianlin's face turned red with anger. He shouted, "You're talking nonsense! How could I do such a thing!"

Liu Zhengxing calmly replied, "I would never do such a thing. What right do you have to arrest me?"

Guan Wenjun and Li Jianlin interrogated him for over an hour, turning him over and over, but they couldn't get anything out of him.

In that case, they would have to release Liu Zhengxing.

He's an official, after all; you can't just detain him directly.

Qin Yuanzheng saw that it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and he originally wanted to take Qiao Lanshu home first.

But they were worried that if they couldn't get anything out of Liu Zhengxing, he would come after them and then target Liu's wife.

He patiently sat in the police station office and gave Qiao Lanshu many newspapers to read.

Staff Officer Lin and others had already returned to their units.

Guan Wenjun walked into the office cursing and said, "Damn it, this Liu Zhengxing is really something else, not easy to deal with. Lao Li and I have been interrogating him for so long, but he hasn't revealed a single word. If this continues, we'll have no choice but to let him go."

After all, Liu Zhengxing is a cadre. If there is no evidence, he has to confess himself, otherwise it will be difficult to judge the case.

Qin Yuanzheng noticed that it was getting late, and his wife had already yawned twice.

He also lost patience.

He stood up and said, "I'll give it a try."

As he spoke, he took off his military uniform, leaving only his black vest underneath. He then said something to Qiao Lanshu and opened the office door to leave.

Qiao Lanshu sat in a chair, still holding a newspaper in her hand. She asked with some curiosity, "Director Guan, if my brother Zheng goes there, will he be able to interrogate Liu Zhengxing?"

Look at this young couple deeply in love, they keep saying "my home, my home" all the time.

Guan Wenjun felt a pang of jealousy. He sat opposite Qiao Lanshu, took a sip of water, and then said, "It's hard to say. Qin Yuanzheng's abilities are about the same as mine, but in some ways he's not as good as me. I can't even get the information out of him, so he's probably not quite up to par either."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Qiao Lanshu knew he wouldn't get anything good out of Guan Wenjun's mouth.

So he continued reading the newspaper and ignored Guan Wenjun.

Guan Wenjun couldn't stay there indefinitely, especially since Qiao Lanshu was there. So, he wisely stood up, opened the door, and went out.

Ten minutes later, Qin Yuanzheng came out of the interrogation room.

He went to the office to pick up Qiao Lanshu and said, "The matter is resolved. Let's go home."

As he spoke, he went to get his clothes and began to put them on.

Then he picked up Qiao Lanshu's coat and scarf and dressed her.

Qiao Lanshu was indeed sleepy and wanted to go home to sleep.

But she was even more curious. As she stretched out her arms to help Qin Yuanzheng dress her, she whispered, "Brother Zheng, you got it so quickly? That Liu Zhengxing, did he confess?"

Guan Wenjun and his team interrogated Liu Zhengxing for over an hour, but they still couldn't get anything out of him.

Qin Yuanzheng finished the review so quickly?

Looking at Qiao Lanshu's bright, curious, and admiring gaze, Qin Yuanzheng felt a surge of joy.

To be honest, being looked at like that by his wife made him even happier than when he was commended in the army.

He tied a scarf around her neck, then put a hat on her head, and whispered, "She confessed. He paid some young, clueless thugs to put the stuff in your baskets."

The list of those three people is not fixed; they are added whenever the time is right.

However, Qiao Lanshu was indeed designated by Liu Zhengxing, who instructed that the thug to put him in Qiao Lanshu's basket.

Liu Zhengxing wanted to take revenge on Qiao Lanshu because of his two children.

Qin Yuanzheng gave the list of those thugs to Li Jianlin and Guan Wenjun, asking them to work together to arrest them.

Once those people are arrested and interrogated, the case can be closed.

When Qiao Lanshu came out, she heard Liu Zhengxing say weakly in the interrogation room, "Qin Yuanzheng, you can't be so ruthless! You're going to be a father yourself, you should understand my good intentions! As long as you let my Weidong go, you can send our whole family to a labor camp..."

Qin Yuanzheng pretended not to hear.

Other things are manageable, but there's no mercy when it comes to smuggling opium; no one can save Liu Weidong.

Liu Zhengxing was in the interrogation room. At this moment, he had no injuries, but he was covered in sweat and his whole body was soaked.

He weakly cried out, "Qin Yuanzheng, you'll get your comeuppance. The central investigators will be in Longcheng tomorrow. Just you wait and see..."

He has already sent out the letter of complaint. Qin Yuanzheng's family background is clean and there is no stain on his record.

He then reported Qin Yuanzheng for protecting and cooperating with his wife, who was a spy, to steal classified information from various departments and the military.

The bombings that happened on the street before were all secretly planned by this young girl from the south.

Liu Zhengxing had already planned a backup plan; as long as this move worked, he would still have a chance.

No one else knew about these things except him.

He handled this matter personally. Tomorrow, as soon as the investigator arrives at the state-run hotel, there will be a "bang".

How many people die depends on how tough their luck is.
