Chapter 142 Interrogation of Enemy Agents
Sheng Tunan found Secretary Liu and asked him to help find ten laborers to relocate the graves.
Secretary Liu was a man of strong action and he immediately found ten strong and non-superstitious militiamen.
Sheng Tunan then asked Director Chen to take the driver and drive the hearse to the cemetery.
Before moving the graves, Sheng Tunan took out firecrackers and set them off in a circle around the four connected graves.
After the sound of firecrackers stopped, Sheng Tunan lit incense and candles in front of each grave, kowtowed twelve times, and asked the grandfathers and uncles to leave the grave.
After they kowtowed, the militiamen began to dig, starting with Grandpa's. The old man's remains were intact, and with the help and guidance of experienced Director Chen, Sheng Tunan successfully moved Grandpa to the new coffin and pasted a note on it, writing Grandpa's name.
Next was Sheng Huaiyi's. Director Chen remained calm when he saw the bones of a man with a missing hand. After all, he had worked in the Martyrs' Cemetery for many years and had encountered many more tragic cases than this.
When he opened Sheng Huairen's coffin and saw only a lone leg bone, Director Chen couldn't help but curse, "Damn Chinese people."
After cursing, Director Chen and Director Wang bent over and bowed reverently to the three martyrs.
Finally, Sheng Huaichuan's remains were moved to the hearse. By this time, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
Sheng Tunan divided the 100 yuan equally among the ten militiamen, but they all refused to take it: "Captain Sheng, they are all martyrs, and Grandpa Sheng also fought against the Japanese. We can't take this money."
A few people didn't know that Sheng Tunan had been promoted and still called him the team leader.
Sheng Tunan pushed the money in again, but the men refused to speak. Finally, Sheng Tunan had to take back the money and thanked them again before leaving.
Grandma had packed her luggage and was waiting at home. Sheng Tunan drove to pick up grandma, but Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan had not returned yet.
Sheng Tunan decided to go directly to the Public Security Bureau to look for them. In the 70s, transportation was not well developed, and there was only one main road in the entire county that could be driven by cars, so there was no need to worry about missing them.
Shen Zhiyan drove away in one car, leaving behind a hearse and a jeep.
There were martyrs on the hearse, and Director Chen took the initiative to get on the hearse and go with the driver to take the heroic spirit to the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Sheng Tunan drove the jeep and Minister Wang sat in the back. Grandma was a little carsick, so she picked a few green oranges, pinched the peels, and half-lay on the passenger seat, smelling the green scent.
The journey was safe. More than half an hour later, the two cars arrived at the gate of Zhishan County Public Security Bureau.
There was a military jeep parked in front of the door. Sheng Tunan knew that Lao Wu and Zhan Xinyue were still in the Public Security Bureau. Just as he was about to get off the car, he saw Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan coming out.
Minister Wang knew that they had something to say, so he got out of the car, asked Shen Zhiyan for the car keys, and went to drive another jeep.
Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan got in the car. Lao Wu couldn't hide what was going on, and he said angrily as soon as he got in the car,
"Damn it, Beijing University is the top university in the country. There is actually a spy among the teachers there. If I catch him when I get back, I will personally shoot him. Luckily, my sister-in-law was here today. She pressed their laugh points and they almost died of laughter. My sister-in-law untied them, but they still refused to confess. My sister-in-law pressed them again, and after repeating this five or six times, the two stubborn enemy agents finally confessed. Otherwise, I really can't imagine that such a good school would have a spy sneaking in! It's so infuriating!!"
Sheng Tunan was surprised and frowned slightly. He started the car and drove towards the capital.
A teacher from Beijing University? He remembered that Qu Hui's illegitimate son Qu Zibin seemed to be from Beijing University as well.
"Xinyue, do you think this matter has anything to do with Qu Hui and his son?" Sheng Tunan asked as they drove out of Zhishan County.
Zhan Xinyue sat in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window, but her mind was constantly thinking, "I think there is."
"When we arrived at the Public Security Bureau, the two enemy agents didn't say a word. It was only after Lao Wu produced his officer ID that we were able to go in and interrogate them."
After Zhan Xinyue explained how she got in, she continued to talk about the result, "The two confessed that they were just the action team and didn't know who the people above them were. They only mentioned it to Shi Qiang, who said that it was a teacher from Beijing University who provided the clue."
"When I heard about Beijing University, the first thing I thought of was Qu Zibin. And you just beat up his father Qu Hui, so I was wondering if they were deliberately taking revenge and selling the information to the spy. Of course, it is also possible that he himself is a spy. I immediately called my grandfather at the Public Security Bureau and asked him to control Qu Hui and his son first, and then send people to Beijing University to investigate."
Sheng Tunan nodded after listening: "Qu Hui was the army commander before, it would be easy for him to retrieve my file."
"And he has a motive. Grandpa dismissed him from his post and kicked him out of the army. It is very possible that Qu Hui betrayed me out of spite."
Sheng Tunan held the steering wheel with one hand and pinched his eyebrows with the other.
"Brother, let me drive. You take a rest." Shen Zhiyan suggested when he saw Sheng Tunan looking a little tired in the rearview mirror.
"Okay." Sheng Tunan pulled over. He was a little tired after moving the graves. His brain was working fast and he was very nervous. It was not suitable for long-distance driving. The two of them changed seats, and Sheng Tunan sat with his wife.
"By the way, Zhan Aiguo is dead." Zhan Xinyue said calmly, "The police said he committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Sheng Tunan: "He should know that even if he doesn't die, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, and he has lost his wife, son and daughter. There is no point in him living."
Grandma Sheng also heard it. She was stunned for a moment, sighed, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
I don't know if it was because Elder Wen ordered a thorough investigation of the spies who had infiltrated Beijing University that the enemy agents had restrained themselves. On the way back to the capital, nothing happened.
After arriving in the capital, the remains of the Sheng Huai brothers were first sent to the Martyrs' Cemetery for burial.
Because Mr. Wen had already made arrangements in advance and the tombstone had already been carved.
Grandma Sheng looked at the three tombstones with the words "great martyrs Sheng Huaiyi, Sheng Huairen, and Sheng Huaichuan will live forever" written on them, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Sheng Tunan, Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan kowtowed to the three martyrs, and then went to the cemetery next door to bury their grandfather.
By the time I finished all this and got home, it was already past seven in the evening.
"Mom, mom, we're back." Shen Zhiyan shouted at the gate of the yard.
When the guard opened the door, he rushed in impatiently to flush the toilet.
While running to the toilet, he asked, "Mom, I'm so hungry, is there any food? Grandma hasn't eaten yet, she's a little carsick..."
"Tsk, are you saying this is Zhu Bajie's reincarnation? He only knows how to eat? Don't worry, you will get plenty to eat." Dong Wushuang came out of the kitchen and scolded with a smile.
She learned from Mr. Wen that they would be back today, and she and the chef had already prepared a rich meal.
Hearing that grandma was coming, he hurried out to greet her. "Xinyue, Tunan, this is Grandma Sheng, you've worked hard on the journey, I've prepared basil, peach and ginger, have a bite first to whet your appetite, then have dinner."
Dong Wushuang walked over and helped grandma into the house. "Grandma Sheng, I'm Dong Wushuang, the mother of Tunan and Xinyue. You can just call me Wushuang. I prepared some dishes today, and I don't know if you can eat them. Just tell me what you like to eat. We are all family, so please don't be polite."
Zhan Xinyue and Grandma Sheng had told Dong Wushuang that he was from a minority ethnic group and looked very much like a foreigner. The old ladies were mentally prepared, but when they saw Dong Wushuang with blonde hair, blue eyes and a high nose bridge, they were still shocked and stared at him for a long time.
“Tunan’s eyes look like his mother’s.” Grandma Sheng smiled and said, “When he was little, he loved to cry, and after crying his eyes would be bluer than usual.”
"Ah, was Tunan very fond of crying when he was a child?" Dong Wushuang was very surprised. "Grandma Sheng, please tell me more about Tunan's childhood. I really regret that I didn't experience his growth. Please tell me more."
"Mom, grandma is carsick and hasn't eaten much in the past two days. Let's wash our hands and eat first."
Sheng Tunan hurriedly tried to stop her. In front of his wife, he must not let his grandmother tell all these embarrassing stories about him, such as being chased and pecked by the goose at the age of five, wetting the bed at the age of six, and unfortunately poking a hornet's nest when he went to dig a bird's nest and being stung by a wasp, leaving him with a pig's face and a sausage mouth...
It really damages his current handsome and elegant image.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first. From now on, Grandma Sheng will live in our house, and we'll have plenty of opportunities to talk." Dong Wushuang said with a slightly joking tone.
Sheng Tunan smiled indifferently, as long as his wife couldn't hear it.
After washing hands, each of us ate a bowl of basil, peach and ginger soup to relieve heat and greasiness, and then went to eat.
The meal was very rich. In addition to the dishes that Zhan Xinyue, Sheng Tunan and Shen Zhiyan liked, Dong Wushuang also specially prepared some soft, easy-to-eat and easy-to-digest food for grandma.
Halfway through the meal, Dong Wushuang suddenly asked, "I heard from Uncle Wen that you encountered enemy spies in the Changhong Brigade?"
"Yeah, it was probably aimed at me." Sheng Tunan ate quickly and was already full. He put down his chopsticks and replied, "Fortunately, there was no danger."
Grandma Sheng had a small appetite and was full. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Wushuang, the Japanese sent someone to trick me over and then kidnapped me. I was the one who got Tunan and Xinyue into trouble. Fortunately, they are all fine. Otherwise, I would not be able to survive."
"Grandma, don't say that. This is all the bad guys' fault. It has nothing to do with you." Zhan Xinyue hurried to comfort her.
The old man shook his head. "I was too defenseless. I'm old now, not as good as when I was young. I can't fight the Japanese, and it's even difficult to protect myself."
"Wushuang, I just came here and saw many soldiers standing guard. It should be safe here. If you don't mind, I would like to stay here. If I follow Tunan Xinyue to the island, I am afraid that I will encounter danger again and cause trouble for them."
Having experienced it once, the old man thinks more comprehensively.
Moreover, from the moment she entered the door to the time she had dinner, Dong Wushuang gave her the impression of being cheerful and enthusiastic. Grandma felt that she was a very easy-going person.
