"Do you still remember the briefcase in my car? At that time, the buckle of the briefcase was not fastened and a cartload of manuscript papers fell out."
"Remember."
"Actually, that's Shi Jiwei's briefcase."
"ah?"
"The briefcase belongs to Shi Jiwei, but those manuscripts were not written by him. I didn't care at first, but after your reminder, I realized that there was a lot in it."
"Did I remind you?"
"You said at that time that the handwriting on the manuscript was good and had a lot of Yan Zhenqing's meaning, right?"
"Yes, I did."
"It was precisely because of this sentence that I found the clue to murder Shi Jiwei!"
Xu Siqi said in surprise: "So, the manuscript is related to the murderer?"
Liu Jianming nodded: "A few days before the incident, in Shi Jiwei's office, he received a phone call in front of me. From the context analysis, it should be that the other party had something to do with him. Shi Jiwei said at the time,
Not on public holidays. On public holidays, Lao Chen and I went to Section Chief Liu's house as guests, and we finally said that we had read the manuscript and we would discuss it in detail."
"So, you are inferring from this that the person who made the call also knew that Shi Ji was going to your house on a public holiday."
"That's right. From the tone of Shi Jiwei's words, it can be seen that they are very familiar with each other and that he trusts that person. Otherwise, he would not be able to tell the other party his whereabouts."
"Why didn't Shi Ji mention his name?"
"No."
"Then, how did you find out the clues?"
"Shi Jiwei told the person on the phone that he had read the manuscript and would discuss it in detail. That day, I didn't pay attention at first. After you reminded me, I took a closer look when I got home and found that the manuscript was not Shi Jiwei's handwriting. Then I thought of it.
That phone call, it’s easy to guess that the manuscript was written by the person who called!”
"So, you found that person?"
"I immediately called Director Xu and told him the clue. The next step was simple. By comparing the handwriting, it was easy to identify the person."
"Are you an insider?"
"After the incident happened, Director Xu immediately concluded that there was a spy inside the Investigation Department! Otherwise, how could the Communist Party know the whereabouts of Shi Jiwei in such a big Shanghai?"
Liu Jianming sighed: "So, as the old saying goes, it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Who would have thought that the person closest to you would be a spy sent by the enemy."
Xu Siqi thought for a while and said: "Chief Liu, isn't it inappropriate for you to tell me this matter? After all, it involves the secrets of the Investigation Department."
"I didn't mention that person's name, so it doesn't matter if you know it. Besides, Inspector Xu is not an outsider." Liu Jianming deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
Xu Siqi pretended not to notice, glanced at the silver coins in the suitcase, and said: "That means that because of my unintentional reminder, I helped the investigation office find the spy, so they gave this reward.
Is that so?"
"This is just one of them. After hearing about your heroic feat of capturing the Communists, Director Xu Enzeng admired you very much and thought that you are a person who hates evil and can distinguish right from wrong..."
Shaohe paused for a moment, then Liu Jianming lowered his voice to Sang Ying and said, "Director Xu asked me to give you a message. If you can take care of me in the future, the Investigation Office is willing to contribute two hundred yuan a month."
Xu Siqi understood that the reason why the Investigation Office gave a large sum of money was that the so-called providing clues was just an introduction, and the real intention was to win over him.
Two hundred yuan a month is equivalent to giving Xu Siqi an extra salary, and it is higher than his current salary.
Of course, there is a price for accepting this condition. In the future, when the investigation office launches operations in the concession, Xu Siqi must cooperate secretly.
"I appreciate Director Xu's kindness. However, I cannot accept what you said."
"Inspector Xu, think about it again..."
"No need, everything else is easy to talk about, but not this matter."
"Why?"
Xu Siqi said: "If I agree to Director Xu's conditions, wouldn't I become a scoundrel? I helped you catch Liang Dequan because I can't stand that kind of person. It doesn't mean that I can use it for public use.
Help outsiders do whatever they want in the concession!"
Seeing Xu Siqi's resolute attitude, Liu Jianming couldn't say anything more and said: "Okay, since you have decided, just pretend that I didn't say anything about it."
Glancing at the silver dollars in the suitcase, Xu Siqi thought for a moment and said, "In addition, I can accept the reward from the police station. You should take back the money from the investigation office."
Liu Jianming hurriedly said: "This is the bounty given to you by the Investigation Department. How can I get it back? This money has nothing to do with what I just said. They are equal to each other. If you don't accept it,
, I can’t do business when I go back.”
"Well, since it doesn't matter, I feel ashamed to accept it."
"That's right."
"Chief Liu, you just said that you can't do business when you go back... Why don't I understand? You are from the police station, so why do you have to do business with the Investigation Division?"
"To tell you the truth, I provided important clues on Shi Jiwei's case. Director Xu may want to transfer me back to the Investigation Division. Alas, after more than a year at the police station, I finally have the opportunity to go back."
Xu Siqi cupped his fists and raised his hands: "It seems that Section Chief Liu is about to be promoted. I would like to congratulate him first."
Liu Jianming smiled and said: "Even if it is a horizontal transfer, I am still willing to go back to the investigation office. There is no future in the police station and I will investigate smuggling all day long. The top priority is cases like Liang Dequan..."
The two chatted for a while and then left.
Li Shiqun was accidentally caught, which made Xu Siqi very happy. He originally thought this matter was very difficult, but now all the problems have been solved easily.
As for why Li Shiqun betrayed Shi Jiwei, it no longer seems important. Regardless of whether he is a traitor or a spy, the Party Affairs Investigation Department will never spare him.
Everything went smoothly and looked so beautiful.
…
Party Affairs Investigation Office Shanghai Station.
trial room.
Looking at the torture instruments placed around him, Li Shiqun felt uneasy.
A few days ago, Ye Meiyun mentioned what happened at the magazine. He believed that his wife was making too much fuss. As the inspector of the concession, Xu Siqi had no reason to intervene in the assassination incident between parties.
Unexpectedly, after only two days of silence, he was "invited" to the interrogation room by the special agents.
Looking at it now, Ye Meiyun's analysis is very reasonable. Maybe Xu Siqi has been bribed by the Investigation Department. Of course he went to the magazine to find evidence.
Bang!
The iron door of the interrogation room rang, and a gloomy-looking Xu Enzeng stepped in. He looked Li Shiqun up and down and said, "I came all the way from Nanjing for this case. Li Shiqun, you are so proud!"
Li Shiqun thought to himself that now he had no choice but to burn the boat. Fortunately, there were still two trump cards that he had not yet played, which might save his life!
