Chapter 155: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
For this matter, Yu Jingque and Li Qingxi are definitely not to blame.
The two of them didn't know about Zhou Jiezhi's affairs, so they could be forgiven for misunderstanding that Wan Qun was interrogating Xu Lai.
Moreover, Yu Jingque and Li Qingxi came back to report on their work, and Wan Qun asked them to catch Xu Lai and come back.
But when that time passed, Xu Lai had already left, and the people followed by the Secret Service had also left.
Neither of them could find anyone, so they searched around outside and came back. You can't say that they made a mistake in their work.
Now I can only see what the other two people say.
Yu Jingque and Li Qingxi stood there, looking at each other. Wan Qun didn't let them leave, and they didn't dare to leave either.
After waiting for a relatively long time, there were two more people in Wanqun's office.
These two are the people who are responsible for protecting Xu Lai together with Yu Jingque and others.
Seeing the two men coming back, Wan Qun raised his head and said, "Let's talk."
One of them said: "After Li Qingxi and the others took over at night, we were down there protecting Xu Lai. Who knew he actually came out of the room and didn't know where he was going."
"We want to protect Xu Lai, so we can only follow, but..."
"But what?" Wan Qun asked.
The other one hesitated for a moment and then said: "I lost you."
"Lost?" Wan Qun's tone was unkind.
The police officer said hurriedly: "Xu Lai deliberately threw us away."
"If I deliberately throw you away, can you follow me? What do you do for food?" Wan Qun scolded sternly.
The police officer was aggrieved. The task given by Wan Qun was to protect, not to follow and monitor.
Naturally, they felt relaxed, and with Xu Lai deliberately throwing them away, there was nothing they could do if they lost their target.
It's just that if you can't express these explanations, it's your responsibility if you lose them.
"Keep talking, you're dumb." Seeing that the two of them were silent, Wan Qun cursed.
Yu Jingque and Li Qingxi stood aside. It seemed that this matter had nothing to do with them, but they were also embarrassed, as if they had been scolded by Wan Qun.
"After discovering that he was missing, we started looking for Xu Lai and found him running towards the river, as if he wanted to cross the river," the police officer said.
After hearing what the police officer said, Wan Qun said: "After the last incident, I reported to the superiors that someone must patrol and supervise the river, but have you ignored it?"
Wan Qun could express his dissatisfaction with his superiors, but Yu Jingque and the others could not, so they could only listen honestly.
In fact, Wan Qun was wronged by his superiors.
Japanese soldiers stepped up patrols on the river to prevent anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements from crossing the river.
However, this scope is very large and it is impossible to cover everything, and oversights are inevitable.
This time, Wan Qun didn't need to speak, the police officer continued: "We heard gunshots by the river, ran over, and found Xu Lai killed on the ice."
"There is a hole in the ice..."
The two police officers reported the matter as quickly as possible.
"The murderer passed under the ice?" Wan Qun frowned, wondering if this would be too difficult.
"We didn't expect that this murderer was so good at water." The police officer was also depressed. Everything was bad luck tonight.
Xu Lai threw them away and was killed himself.
The next murderer surprised them with his good water properties, so they let the murderer go.
When Yu Jingque heard these words, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He was not good at water, and he almost died.
The air in my chest was gone, and I was only holding on to my mental breath.
Who is the murderer?
Xu Lai wants to run away today, who will know?
Wan Qun thought he was the fastest person, so he sent people to catch Xu Lai, but there was no one faster than him.
It can be seen from the police officer's description that the murderer reached the riverside faster than Xu Lai.
To put it bluntly, the murderer was waiting for Xu Lai to fall into the trap.
As for the identity of the murderer, Wan Qun believed he was an underground party member, but why was he so fast?
This doesn't make sense.
Did someone leak the news?
Wan Qun looked at Yu Jingque and Li Qingxi, it couldn't be them.
When they received the news, Xu Lai had already run away, and Wanqun himself didn't know where Xu Lai had gone, so how could anyone leak the news.
Yu Jingque is not worried at all now.
No matter how suspicious Wan Qun was, he couldn't suspect him. Not to mention whether he had the time of committing the crime, he didn't even know if Xu Lai went to the riverside.
At that time, Yu Jingque, relying solely on his understanding of Xu Lai, deduced that this matter could be regarded as gambling in nature.
It's just that Yu Jingque won the bet and can now stand here peacefully.
Yu Jingque didn't believe that anyone could doubt him, even if he had time to commit the crime?
It is precisely because of this that even though Wan Qun knew that Yu Jingque and Li Qingxi were looking for someone separately, he did not suspect them.
Yu Jingque acted too innocent in this matter.
When Wan Qun asked him to arrest people, Xu Lai had already run away.
You said Yu Jingque was following Xu Lai, but that's impossible because the time doesn't match up.
How did the underground party take advantage of the opportunity and kill Xu Lai?
Wan Qun didn't understand, but secretly scolded Xu Lai for being a fool.
I wanted to run away, but the underground party knew about it. If I didn't come to the Secret Service Section and was killed, did I deserve it?
"Did you find anything unusual while protecting Xu Lai during this period?" Wan Qun asked.
Xu Lai's death is strange now. The only explanation is that the underground party has been watching Xu Lai for a long time and was preparing to take action. Xu Lai getting rid of the people from the Secret Service tonight was an opportunity for the underground party, so they took action to kill Xu Lai.
"Nothing unusual." Yu Jingque and others said that they indeed found nothing unusual.
Wan Qun gave them a dissatisfied look. In Wan Qun's opinion, it was possible that the underground party members were not only monitoring Xu Lai, but also Yu Jingque and the four of them.
"Go down." Wan Qun sent the four people away. Xu Lai was dead and the murderer was probably hiding. It would be too difficult for this matter to make progress.
After the people in the office left, Wan Qun picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Section Chief, it's me." Wan Qun's call was to Cai Wangjin.
"Zhou Jiezhi has been captured and is still being interrogated."
"The results of the interrogation have not yet come out. Because Xu Lai died, the interrogation was interrupted." Wan Qun explained.
The results of Zhou Jiezhi's interrogation have not yet come out, but when news of Xu Lai's death came out, Wan Qun could only suspend the interrogation first to deal with Yu Jingque's affairs.
"Xu Lai is dead?" Cai Wangjin asked.
Wan Qun explained the matter and said: "Xu Lai was so clever that he was mistaken for his cleverness. He didn't want to be caught by us and die at the hands of the underground party instead."
Wan Qun all told what happened and his own judgment.
Cai Wangjin's voice came from the microphone and said: "You think it was the underground party that was eyeing Xu Lai from the beginning, and also discovered the person you arranged to protect."
Wan Qun said into the microphone: "Yes, Xu Lai got rid of our people tonight, but he did not get rid of the underground party members and was killed by them."
This explanation, in Wan Qun's view, is the most likely.
"The four people you sent will not be so vigilant." Cai Wangjin shook his head. He didn't quite agree with this view.
Is it too far-fetched for the four of them, Yu Jingque, to discover that the underground party is following them?
