Chapter 139: Zhang Wang was arrested
"I don't have any clues about the Eighth Brother yet, but for the Ninth Brother, I already have a suspect in mind."
After she said this, she carefully observed the expressions of the people in the office.
Xie Wuwei placed one hand on the table, his expression normal, and no one else could notice anything unusual.
Lin Ruotang tightened the pen in her hand. She was "Old Nine". What did Zhou Qin mean by this? Did she reveal a flaw somewhere? She lowered her head and took notes, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
After the meeting, when everyone stood up to leave, Zhou Qin shouted:
"Thank you, Chief. Stay!"
Everyone else gave Xie Wuwei strange looks.
Cheng Wang, who was downstairs, looked at Wang Zhuang and said arrogantly:
"Cheng Wang, you are loyal, but I don't know if your loyalty is real or fake!"
Seeing Wang Zhuang's hypocritical smile, Cheng Wang sneered.
"I'm not loyal to you, what are you worried about, Chief Wang?"
After he left, Cheng Wang's expression darkened. He guessed that Zhou Qin must have suspected him.
Wang Zhuang wanted to tell Section Chief Xie that he had sent someone to follow him, but he was worried that Section Chief Xie and Secretary Lin would send him away.
As soon as he left, Zhou Qin would suspect Section Chief Xie, so he never told Section Chief Xie about this.
Xie Wuwei looked at Zhou Qin, frowned, and asked:
"Director Zhou, what do you mean?"
Zhou Qin didn't say anything, but sat down and stared at Xie Wuwei for a long time before saying:
"Chief Xie, how well do you know your subordinates?"
Xie Wuwei's face changed when he saw this. He said to Zhou Qin:
"Director Zhou, are you suspecting that there's a traitor from the Military Control Commission among my people?"
Zhou Qin had a subtle smile on her face and asked directly:
"Section Chief Xie, how much do you know about Cheng Wang?"
"What do you mean?"
Xie Wuwei was startled, and only heard Zhou Qin say:
"Cheng Wang is the ninth one."
These words made Lin Ruotang blink. She looked up from behind Zhou Qin and glanced at her back.
Lao Jiu's affairs were very secretive and not many people knew about them. If she hadn't saved Li Haojie last time, she wouldn't have been exposed.
"Guess how I got to know about Lao Jiu?"
Hearing Zhou Qin say this, Xie Wuwei frowned.
"There must be someone who has rebelled against the Military Control Commission..."
"Yes, and also wrong!"
Zhou Qin kept the secret and continued:
"We also have to thank Lao Jiu for killing Li Haojie. The power behind Li Haojie is not small. Isn't this the information of the Military Control Commission's 'Lao Jiu' delivered to me? What I have to do is to get rid of 'Lao Jiu' and help Li Haojie get revenge."
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang pinched his palms, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"You said the Kuomintang is full of people like this. What hope does this country have? We turned to Japan out of necessity. Now I think our choice was the right one..."
Xie Wuwei seemed impatient and asked with a frown:
"Director Zhou, what exactly do you want to say?"
Zhou Qin's eyes darkened, and she said to Xie Wuwei:
"As your subordinate, Cheng Wang is now under suspicion. As your immediate superior, you should avoid suspicion, but you are also under suspicion."
The atmosphere froze. Xie Wuwei raised his head with a look of disbelief. Zhou Qin seemed not to notice and continued:
"I'll leave him to you. It's up to you whether to arrest him or beat him."
Xie Wuwei clenched his fists, veins popping out of his arms, and he stared with his eyes wide open.
"Cheng Wang will definitely not betray me. Director Zhou has definitely found the wrong person, and I am innocent."
Seeing Xie Wuwei's disbelief, Zhou Qin said expressionlessly:
"If you don't interrogate him, I will do it myself?"
Xie Wuwei looked grim, slammed the door and left. After going downstairs, he cracked his whip, his face flushed red as he shouted:
"Cheng Wang, come out here!"
Seeing this, Cheng Wang was stunned where he was. He met Xie Wuwei's eyes, which were as deep as the sea.
"what!"
After being whipped, Cheng Wang screamed and immediately hugged Xie Wuwei's calf.
"Section Chief Xie, Cheng Wang has always been loyal to you. Don't listen to other people's slander..."
"Humph, you think Director Zhou would slander you?"
Xie Wuwei seemed to be extremely angry and laughed instead, and said directly to his other subordinates:
"Someone, bring Cheng Wang to the interrogation room."
Cheng Wang was dragged away, his head lowered, his expression invisible. Xie Wuwei clenched his fists tightly and stood there. Wang Zhuang came out and said sarcastically:
"Xie, Chief, you're so impressive!"
Xie Wuwei whipped him with a whip and said with a cold expression:
"roll!"
This frightened Wang Zhuang so much that he stepped back repeatedly, watching Xie Wuwei leave with resentment in his eyes.
Xie Wuwei went to the interrogation room, and Zhou Qin was already sitting in the audience seat in the interrogation room.
"Thank you, Section Chief, for coming. Everyone is here too. Let's get started!"
Xie Wuwei glanced at Guan Hao, but he didn't look back, obviously wanting to break away from him.
After Xie Wuwei sat down, he looked at the interrogation materials in front of him and looked at Cheng Wang.
"Cheng Wang, let me ask you again, do you admit that you are 'Old Nine'?"
Hearing this, Cheng Wang was stunned at first, then cried out with a sad face:
"What are 'Old Nine' and 'Old Eight'? I don't know anything. I feel wronged. Chief Xie, you know me. Cheng Wang doesn't have the guts to do such a thing..."
Xie Wuwei's expression eased slightly, and he looked at Zhou Qin. Zhou Qin frowned and asked:
"Did you go back upstairs on the day Li Haojie died?"
Cheng Wang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a puzzled look:
"I went up there to take a shit, what's wrong?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qin raised her chin.
"You're not telling the truth, kid!"
Cheng Wang looked at Zhou Qin with a sad face and said:
"Director Zhou, you think too highly of me. I, Cheng Wang, am just a little scoundrel. How could I possibly be a member of the Military Control Commission? How could the Military Control Commission think highly of me?"
Seeing Cheng Wang say this, Zhou Qin stood up, put his hands on the table, with a sneer on his face.
"That's where you're smart. None of us could have imagined that 'Old Nine' would be a thug, a thug who doesn't look that good."
She walked up to Cheng Wang, pinched his chin with her red fingers, and stared into his eyes, her eyes as fierce as a wolf.
"You're very smart, and you disguised yourself very well. If Li Haojie hadn't been killed and the forces behind him wanted to avenge him, I wouldn't have known that there was not only an 'Old Eight' but also an 'Old Nine'."
After she finished speaking, she let go, leaving two deep bloody nail marks on Cheng Wang's face.
"Director Zhou, I'm really wronged!"
Seeing Cheng Wang's heart-wrenching cry, Zhou Qin said with a frosty face:
"You really won't give up until you jump into the Yellow River!"
Zhou Qin looked at Xie Wuwei and changed the subject.
"I wonder what Section Chief Xie thinks about this matter?"
Xie Wuwei had a stern face and an unhappy tone.
"How can I see with my own two eyes?"
Seeing that Zhou Qin was about to get angry, Xie Wuwei continued:
"I don't have Director Zhou's keen insight. I really don't understand what's going on. I just think this guy usually looks like a scoundrel. He doesn't look like someone who can accomplish anything big!"
Xie Wuwei's words were also within Zhou Qin's guess. Xie Wuwei was well-known for protecting his shortcomings. She continued:
"Section Chief Xie, don't rush to defend Cheng Wang yet. The suspicion on you hasn't been cleared yet!"
