Siheyuan, my new life

Lin Yu, Director Wan and Deputy Director Yao returned to the office of Jiaodaokou Police Station, where they smoked and talked while waiting for the results of the interrogation.

Lin Yu flicked the ash off his cigarette and whispered, "Director Wan, Director Yao, according to the intelligence I have so far, the main leader of the black market, Boss Ye, is actually a Japanese undercover agent whose real name is Jiro Sakata. On the surface, this black market is organized by Zhao Shaoqing and several second-generation officials. In fact, Jiro Sakata is using the identities and backgrounds of these guys as a cover to engage in intelligence gathering activities. As far as I know, Jiro Sakata found ways to get to know Zhao Shaoqing and encouraged him to engage in the black market for profit. The current operating model is also instructed by Jiro Sakata, and even the initial funds were provided by Jiro Sakata."

Director Wan and Deputy Director Yao both widened their eyes in surprise. They had just learned the identities and backgrounds of the organizers who had been arrested, and also knew that Zhao Shaoqing's father was Zhao Yunfei, the district mayor of the Dongcheng District Government.

What no one expected was that District Chief Zhao Yunfei's son was actually involved with Japanese enemy spies. Even if Zhao Yunfei was unaware of this, he was no longer suitable to continue his leadership position, and he would need to be subject to investigation by relevant departments for a long time in the future.

Director Wan snorted heavily, "It seems that Zhao Shaoqing and Sakata Jiro are up to something. The fathers of these guys involved are either the main leaders of the District Grain Bureau, or the District Materials Bureau, District Supply and Marketing Cooperative and other units. It seems that some comrades have problems with their thinking and have relaxed their requirements for themselves and their families."

Lin Yu said with a hint of disdain: "The fathers of these people are old comrades who have participated in the revolution for many years. I don't believe that they didn't notice the abnormality of their children. First of all, there is a huge gap between their personal daily expenses and their actual wages. In addition, from the current situation, these people ask their parents for a lot of allocated materials every month. Don't these parents think about why their sons ask for so many materials every month? Maybe they are pretending to be confused. Let's wait for the final interrogation results."

In an office of Jiaodaokou Police Station, Zhao Shaoqing sat on a bench with a pale face, not answering any questions from the two interrogators in front of him. He was still holding out the illusion that his father would get the news and find a way to get him out as soon as possible. He was also very clear that if there was any problem with his confession, it would be difficult for his father to help him.

However, the other guys who were arrested at the same time were not as stubborn as Zhao Shaoqing. When faced with the questions raised by the interrogators, they all told the truth clearly. Although these guys usually acted like the boss, but when facing the interrogators, they were like quails. Especially the screams and wails coming from the interrogation room not far away made these guys tremble all over with fear.

Soon these interrogation records were delivered to several leaders in the office. Lin Yu just flipped through them casually, put the stack of interrogation records in his hand on the desk, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.

Nearly half an hour later, Director Wan finished reading all the interrogation records. He frowned and looked at Director Jiang and Instructor Qu of Jiaodaokou Police Station who were standing in front of the desk: "What's going on? What's the matter with the interrogation record of Zhao Shaoqing?"

Director Jiang and Instructor Qu looked at each other and explained reluctantly, "Director Wan, since Zhao Shaoqing entered the interrogation room, he has remained silent in the face of all the questions from the interrogators. We can't do anything to him..."

Director Wan slammed his desk heavily and said, "Nonsense! This Zhao Shaoqing is obviously harboring illusions and hoping for the best. Why should we be polite to such a stubborn person? If you, the Jiaodaokou Police Station, are concerned about relationships and face, then this case should be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau."

After Director Wan directly revealed the two's thoughts, Director Jiang quickly spoke up and promised, "Director Wan, I will personally interrogate Zhao Shaoqing, this stubborn person, right away."

Director Wan glanced at his watch and said coldly, "I'll give you another half an hour. If there is no result in half an hour, the case will be handed over to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau."

Director Jiang and Instructor Qu were both startled and quickly answered loudly: "We will ensure that the task is completed." After that, they hurried out of the office.

Deputy Director Yao smiled bitterly and comforted Director Wan, who looked angry. "Old Wan, it is normal for the comrades below to have concerns. After all, Zhao Shaoqing's father is the main leader of Dongcheng District, and the comrades in the police station are somewhat worried about handling this matter. Don't be too angry. Many of the comrades below need the cooperation and support of other departments, so it is inevitable that they will be a little restrained in their work."

Director Wan sighed softly: "I understand these situations to some extent, and I know that it is not easy for the comrades below, but everything must be done in moderation. We cannot tolerate any hesitation in the face of major issues."

Lin Yu was smoking silently nearby. Although he had already noticed that the two directors would look at him from time to time when they were talking, he still didn't say a word. Of course he could hear that the two directors were explaining to him in unison, but Lin Yu didn't want to express any opinion. Tonight he had sent the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Mill to eradicate the black market in Dongcheng. The subsequent interrogation work was also handed over to the Jiaodaokou Police Station. After all, those arrested were not workers and family members of the Red Star Steel Mill, so the comrades in the Security Department had no right to deal with them. The follow-up matters were the work of the public security department.

Lin Yu has already informed the two city bureau leaders of the news that Zhao Shaoqing was suspected of colluding with Japanese enemy spies. He no longer intends to interfere in the affairs here. After all, he has never been involved in the daily work of the city bureau and is just a figurehead.

Although he had gotten along very well with Director Wan and Deputy Director Yao during their previous contacts, and maintained a decent relationship with each other, with the news that he was appointed as the special adviser to the State Council, Lin Yu had clearly felt that these two main leaders of the Municipal Bureau had changed somewhat when facing him, becoming less friendly and more distant.

Lin Yu didn't take these changes to heart at all. He didn't really plan to develop a career in politics. He guessed that these two were overthinking it.
