Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 54 Explanation
The food in the cafeteria was pretty good, with two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and a soup, and a banana as fruit, which was considered an achievement.
After eating, he went back to the office to rest. Sun Yu asked Jiang You: "How many meals does Zhaocai eat a day now?"
"It's now jumping around with my son. The next time you see it, it will be thinner."
Sun Woo gave Kang You a suspicious look.
Jiang You turned around in his computer chair and said, "I'd like you to find the case file from the year when the Special Operations Department was disbanded."
"Okay," Sun Yu agreed, and then he asked: " Do you also want the case files from the year when Sang Xu got into trouble? Although they have been edited..."
"Let's go with the year we were disbanded," Jiang You stood up and looked at Tang Butian, "Then Chief, let's go to the detention center now."
The Ning'an District Detention Center is not far from the Public Security Bureau.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang You and Tang Butian walked into the outer room of the special interrogation room. Su Wangshu and the other two sat together, looking at Huang Juan on the monitor screen.
Jiang You squinted and glanced at the screen.
She lowered her head and sat in a very restrained posture.
After Jiang You and Tang Butian walked in, Su Wangshu and the other two stood up. Su Wangshu said, "The boss told me that I think we should all come together to discuss and make a plan. Guan Nuo and Sister Qingtong should also be present."
"I'll go in first?" Jiang You said to Tang Butian. He pointed at Huang Juan on the surveillance screen. "She doesn't seem to be in good condition."
"good."
Jiang You walked into the interrogation room.
Hearing the sound, Huang Juan raised her head and saw that it was Jiang You, and her head fell down.
"I thought we had a good chat last time." Jiang You pulled out a chair and sat down. "I don't like the chairs here. They are too hard. I should put a cushion on them. Do you want a cushion?"
Huang Juan's body remained motionless.
"Zhuang Zekun won't come."
Jiang You saw her skinny fingers clench and then loosen.
"You know the value of the spiritual medicine we have to consume every day to keep you alive. If you don't speak up, we won't be able to afford this cost every day..."
"Last time, I told you what you wanted to know," said Huang Juan.
"You are the agreement between me and you. After you die, I will complete it."
Huang Juan fell silent again.
After a long while, she said, "Uncle Song, is it really Zhuang Zekun?"
"I'm not sure."
She clenched her hands, her fingers twisted together tightly, leaving marks on the back of her hands.
"Senior Zhuang wanted to come and see me. He left the Special Operations Group more than ten years ago. Over time, people and things are different. If something happens to him, the current Special Operations Group will be held responsible. It happened more than ten years ago. I think it's over now."
Huang Juan looked up and glanced quickly at Jiang You.
"I asked the secretary for permission to come see you. I think I should let you know," Jiang You paused. "If there is a large-scale bloodshed and injury incident in Tangjiang City, this year will be a critical year. After all, Xue Shanhu was not Tangjiang last year. What if... I am really worried about how many innocent people will be affected. Senior Zhuang, he also has his difficulties. You should not resent him."
" Where do you want your ashes to be scattered ? The sea, the grassland, or the snow-capped mountains?"
"I……"
"By the way, I told you last time that I'm a postcard seller, right?" Jiang You took out a white postcard and a sharpened pencil from his bag. He pushed the postcard and pencil in front of Huang Juan, "If you have any wishes, you can write them down or draw a picture. I'll burn them for you when the time comes."
Huang Juan bit her lip while looking at the postcard.
"There are also stamps." Jiang You took out a small bag with many small stamps in it. He found a redbud stamp from it and put it on the postcard. "I will come again in a few days to see you off."
Huang Juan reached out and picked up the pencil.
Her hands trembled as she drew the first stroke on the postcard, then the second.
…
When Jiang You walked out of the interrogation room, Su Wangshu and the other two stood up at once, and they all looked at him with resentful eyes.
"You are the boss!" Wu Yulan spoke first.
Tang Butian sat and looked at him, and suddenly blinked.
"I greeted Senior Zhuang before I came."
Jiang You slowly walked in front of Su Wangshu and the other two, and he explained slowly, "I met with Huang Juan today to put some pressure on her. She is a bait, and her target is Senior Zhuang. Now I say Senior Zhuang is not coming, and her mission cannot be completed. She will definitely be anxious, right?"
Su Wangshu nodded.
"I have to give her some hope. It's not that Senior Zhuang doesn't want to come. It's a newcomer like me from the Special Operations Department who is interfering . To increase my persuasiveness, I mentioned her daily consumption of spiritual medicine and her attitude of seeking stability. My second goal today is to find out the line of communication between her and the outside world. Now that she knows that Zhuang Zekun is not coming and the mission cannot be completed, she is very anxious and has to think of other ways. I also made her realize that there is a contradiction between the Special Operations Department and Zhuang Zekun. She will definitely want to pass it on. The mission cannot be completed, but obtaining valuable intelligence can make up for it, right?"
Jiang You reached out his hand and took out a candy box from his bag. "You've made me feel dry in the mouth. My son is the one I make up the most, and he never gets angry." He threw two candies into his mouth and handed the candy box to Tang Butian. "So when are we going to have the meeting? I'm opening a store soon, and I have a lot of things to do."
"This Sunday afternoon, the location is my residence. Senior Zhuang and Zhong Yan will also be there." Tang Butian said.
"Okay, I'll leave that line to you guys," Jiang You looked at Su Wangshu, "If you need me, just give me a call or send me a WeChat message."
Su Wangshu glanced at Wu Yulan and Zhu Wen, and nodded, "The three of us will take turns to keep an eye on her."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Then, Jiang You looked down at Tang Butian and said, "Chief, shall we go back now?"
Tang Butian stood up and said, "Let's go."
Under the gaze of Su Wangshu and the other two, they walked out of the automatic door, passed through the corridor they came in from, and left the detention center.
Jiang You looked at the blue sky. The white clouds were scattered in different depths like fish scales, and the sunlight was scattered through the cracks.
"Sun Yu's information is probably ready. Let's go back to the office first. I'll take a look at it, and then we'll go to Shanhelou for dinner."
"The postcard is white." said Tang Butian.
"You noticed, I really meant the opening," Jiang You looked down at her, "It seems that during the Chinese New Year, the profits from that business had not been recovered yet, I almost forgot."
