"Stop being so secretive and tell me quickly. If you speak well, you will be rewarded!"
Ma Xiaoguang quickly urged the fat man.
"I found out that the little widow...ah no, there is something wrong with Mrs. Qu!"
The expression on the fat man's face is mysterious at first glance, but gossipy upon closer inspection.
"Huh? Isn't that possible? This lady Qu seems to be like that..."
Ma Xiaoguang didn't quite believe it, so he asked with some confusion.
The fat man didn't answer immediately, but looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual around him. Then he pulled Ma Xiaoguang through the hanging flower door and to the backyard.
"I don't believe it even if you say it...but I can't help but heard it with my own ears."
After the fat man once again confirmed that the backyard was in good condition, he whispered to Ma Xiaoguang.
"What did you hear?"
Ma Xiaoguang's eyes widened and he asked in a deep voice.
"Mrs. Qu was keeping vigil the day before yesterday, and I just arrived, so it was naturally calm...last night it was the Qu family brothers and sisters..."
"I was kept busy again, accompanying the wake, helping out, and later helping to make supper."
"As a result, after finishing supper, I went back to the backyard and passed by the main house...I seemed to hear a sound..."
"You know I'm not a gossip...but I couldn't bear the responsibility, so I had to go and investigate. I didn't expect it, so I went in and listened...My dear, I heard that sound..."
The fat man reported to Commander Ma hesitantly, which was very different from his usual persona.
"What kind of sound?"
Seeing his appearance, Ma Xiaoguang felt even more strange and continued to ask.
"Ahem...it's just that kind of sound, you know...a woman sounds like she's being beaten, but it doesn't sound like..."
"And a man's voice..."
At the end of the sentence, the fat man's voice became lower, and the expression on his face looked even more gossipy.
"You mean, Mrs. Qu stole..."
Ma Xiaoguang already understood after hearing what the fat man said.
At the end of his words, he was like the fat man, hesitating and biting off the last word!
The fat man didn't answer, but he blinked and nodded heavily.
Ma Xiaoguang came closer and asked quietly: "Why don't you take a closer look and take a photo or something?"
The fat man's face changed slightly when he heard this and he quickly called out to Chong Tian Qu: "Sir, this is going to be like a needle's eye... And the Qu family is in this situation now..."
"How many days have you been here? Are you so considerate of your family? Do you want to imitate Zhu Bajie and get married?"
Seeing the fat man's expression, Ma Xiaoguang playfully tortured his soul.
"Here and there, I'm afraid of alerting the enemy... You old man thought, if the adulterer dares to do that on such a day, he must not be an ordinary person, so be careful and you won't make a big mistake!"
"Besides, we are agents, neither police nor gossip reporters. Don't you always warn us that suspicion is enough, no evidence is needed..."
The fat man looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't relax at all. The reasons he gave were irrefutable.
"This is indeed an important discovery! Your boy has made a meritorious service. It seems that we need to check Mrs. Qu's background..."
"Let's do this first. You inquire in the house and be careful not to be exposed. I'll go outside to find Old Wu and the police station. There should be clues there."
Ma Xiaoguang did not continue to make jokes about the fat man - after all, the top priority now was to catch the murderer.
After the discussion was completed, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty quietly separated and acted independently.
After returning to Baizhang Street and parking the car, Ma Xiaoguang hurriedly found Wu Chengzhang and asked the Ningbo Station and the Police Station to obtain the household registration and related information of everyone in the Qu family.
He intentionally did not name a specific person, but asked all relevant people to do so. This was due to two considerations.
First, such extraction will not easily be suspected by some interested people, so as to avoid alerting the enemy.
Secondly, he was not sure in his heart. It was not that he was afraid that Fatty would make a mistake, but that he was worried that Fatty would only go there for a short time. What if there were still things that hadn't been discovered...
Therefore, in line with the party-state's spirit of always preferring to catch mistakes rather than letting them go, Ma Xiaoguang simply cast a wide net. This is in line with the military intelligence office's usual style.
Wu Chengzhang naturally cooperated and quickly notified the relevant departments to obtain information.
The head of the intelligence section, Zhizhi, naturally mustered up his energy and worked hard on his errands.
Because now everyone knows that as long as you follow Commander Ma and follow this line, you will not lose credit. With credit, there will naturally be others in the future...
In addition, Ningbo Station has not been idle. After the incident, it naturally collected a lot of background information, and now it is all available.
Therefore, more than an hour later, the household registration information transferred from the household registration section of the police station was placed on the table of Ma Xiaoguang's temporary office.
There are about a hundred people in the Qu family's mansion, and the household registration files are placed on the table like a hill.
"Zhao Xuefang, formerly known as Zhao Sumei, is from Qindao. He has learned folk art since he was a child. He is good at Beijing-style drums and Yangzhou Qingqu... It is said that he has studied under many other Jianghu artists, and the content of what he learned is unknown..."
"When I was in the folk art group 'Xiaoya Opera Society', I was regarded as the best in both sex and art... I had successful performances in many cities such as Tianjin, Yanjing, and Shanghai."
"In the 21st year of the Republic of China, I married the wealthy businessman Qu Zhengming and became his wife..."
Ma Xiaoguang took Mrs. Qu's background information and read it with interest.
"Music arts...artists..."
Looking at Mrs. Qu's resume, Ma Xiaoguang felt that he had grasped the looming clue.
But it's a little erratic, as if it's just a little bit off.
Ma Xiaoguang didn't hesitate. He put aside Mrs. Qu's (Zhao Xiefang) information for the time being, and picked up other people's information and looked through it one by one.
Now that you have brought all the information, of course you have to do your homework.
After reading over a hundred pieces of information, it was already dark before I realized it.
Putting down the last piece of information and rubbing his dry eyes, Ma Xiaoguang walked out of the office.
As soon as I went out, I saw Wu Chengzhang.
"My brother is really working hard for the country, working tirelessly...but you have to take care of yourself!"
As soon as Wu Chengzhang met Ma Xiaoguang, he started to speak kind words and asked questions, which made him feel very friendly.
"Brother, thank you. I forgot about the time. I didn't expect it would be dark by now."
Ma Xiaoguang laughed, which was considered a reason.
If you sing a high-key tone at this time, it would be too fake, and it would cause people to feel alienated for no reason.
Get along with your colleagues so that you can better serve the party and the country.
Wu Chengzhang said with a smile: "People are like rice and steel. To serve the country and fight against Japan and save the country, you have to eat. It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let us brothers have a few drinks today... Instead of going to Zhuangyuan Tower, we will go to Dongfu Garden."
As he spoke, Wu Chengzhang stretched out his hand and pulled Ma Xiaoguang downstairs without any explanation.
The Dodge "Shunfeng" was waiting there on the roadside, and it was Zhizhi who was driving.
Looking at the posture, Ma Xiaoguang knew that Lao Wu had been prepared for it, and he had no reason to refuse.
I got in the car and the radio was playing in the car.
What was broadcast on the radio was not an opera or a song, but the anti-Japanese radio drama - "Horrible Memories".
"Woo-boom!"
This is the sound of a plane dropping a bomb after a dive.
The sound effects from the speakers make people feel like they are actually there in the small car...
"This show is well done!"
While turning down the volume, Chu Zhi said to the two officers who had just gotten on the bus.
Wu Chengzhang got into the car and nodded and praised: "Well, it's good. You really enjoy it. It sounds very different from the outside when you are in the car. It feels like you are actually there."
"Immerse yourself in the scene...immerse the sound in the scene! I understand!"
When Ma Xiaoguang heard what the two said, his eyes flashed and he suddenly said excitedly.
