"Can you give me a glass of water first?"
Guang Xiu timidly said to Wu Chengzhang.
He didn't expect that this benefactor, who had a gentle face and seemed to be a bit of a scholar, could be so ruthless as a spy.
Therefore, I am actually still a little hesitant to speak now.
Wu Chengzhang didn't say much, but gestured to Gan Yueze who was taking notes on the side.
Gan Yueze poured Guang Xiu a cup of hot water from an enamel cup that was filled with pulp.
Guangxiu took it and drank it without caring whether it was hot or not.
"My Dharma name is Guangxiu. I became a monk at Tiantong Zen Temple ten years ago. At that time, the abbot was Master Zending, then Master Yuanying, and then Master Dabei..."
Guangxiu took a breath and slowly began to tell.
"Don't talk nonsense, talk about the important points!"
When Gan Yueze heard this, his expression changed and he said sharply.
"He's still a veteran of three dynasties, let him say it's okay."
Wu Chengzhang sneered, picked up the cigarette case on the table and gave one to Ma Xiaoguang and Gan Yueze before saying.
"I have been in Tentong Temple for ten years, and I have almost forgotten my other identity and my other name..."
"My real name is Hirose Kosuke. I have been trained by Deacon Hiraoka Nagakichi of the 'Genyo Society' since I was thirteen years old and became an agent. My codename is 'Gray Fox'..."
The agent of the "Xuanyo Society" whose legal name is "Guangxiu", code name is "Gray Fox", and whose real name is Hirose Kosuke began to confess.
The narration was mixed and complicated, but it did not contain what everyone wanted.
"Let's talk directly about the Qu family."
Wu Chengzhang frowned and finally interrupted Hirose Kosuke.
"Master Qu family, Qu Zhengming, President Qu, was killed by me..."
Hirose Kosuke took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Motive? Reason?"
"I am only responsible for executing the orders from above..."
"how did you do it?"
Hirose Kosuke confessed: "Actually, I'm very familiar with the Qu family... I'm very familiar with Mrs. Qu. You should have found this out. She helped with the internal response. I've been hiding under the window of the study near the water since noon. …”
"I waited until after noon, after Master Qin from the 'Baogu Zhai' said goodbye to Master Qu, and then I entered the study through the window while Master Qu was in the secret room."
"I knew the mechanism of the secret room, so I entered the secret room easily... Master Qu was naturally ready to yell loudly when he found out. When I saw something was wrong, I immediately killed him!"
Hearing this, the expression on Wu Chengzhang's face was a little unclear, and he secretly exchanged a look with Ma Xiaoguang.
A playful smile appeared on Ma Xiaoguang's face and he asked aloud: "Tell me, besides killing people, what else did you take away?"
Hirose Kosuke timidly replied: "There is a painting on the incense table, there are several antiques in the cabinet in the secret room, and there is also a rosewood box..."
"Why do you take these things?"
"The rosewood box was given the order from the online boss, and for the others I am going to make it look like a robbery to confuse the public."
"Where's the stuff?"
"Mrs. Qu came out with me and left with the rosewood box. The other things were placed in the pawn shop."
"For safety reasons, we did not continue to contact each other after Mrs. Qu left with the wooden box, so now I don't know where she is..."
Hirose Kosuke confessed quietly, his eyes full of begging for mercy.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang nodded and did not continue to ask questions, but looked at Wu Chengzhang.
"Tell me about your upline!"
Wu Chengzhang asked.
"I only know that my upline is called 'Red Fox', but I really don't know who it is."
Seeing Wu Chengzhang speak, Hirose Kosuke said quickly in fear.
Obviously Deputy Webmaster Wu's methods left a big psychological shadow on him.
After hearing this confession, Wu Chengzhang's face turned pale and showed no more expression.
Ma Xiaoguang did not continue to ask questions, but smoked his cigarette vigorously.
"Stay here for now, keep him alone, and take good care of him!"
Wu Chengzhang thought for a while and ordered Gan Yueze.
The person was quickly taken down.
"Brother, what do you think?"
"Judging from the confession of Hirose Kosuke, it seems to be correct."
Hearing what Ma Xiaoguang said, Wu Chengzhang felt relieved, his face suddenly burst into laughter, and he left with compliments. He had to rush to his office to write a report!
The matter finally came to an end. The real culprit in the murder of President Qu was finally caught, and the superiors and subordinates were finally accounted for.
As for the "Shadow Fox" who slipped through the net, we can only continue to trace it.
As for the old spy Zhiyuan, Ma Xiaoguang did not expect to be able to catch him this time - this was already doomed when Ban Bianshan discovered that An Zhai Yuan Nian was pretending to be him.
Shibahara should be back in a safe place now, continuing his work as a spy...
That night, Sanjiangkou.
Dongfuyuan Restaurant, in the private room.
Ma Xiaoguang, Wu Chengzhang, Zhi Zhi and Fatty who had withdrawn from Qu's house were finally able to sit together and have a quiet meal together.
The dishes here are all authentic "Yongbang cuisine". Different from "Zhuangyuanlou", the food here tastes more homely.
Herring tossed in water, braised trotters with three shreds, braised pork with golden dates...
“They are all hard dishes! The key is that they taste good!”
As a professional, Fatty made a positive evaluation.
"Well, it's well-deserved. Thank you both for your kindness..."
Ma Xiaoguang couldn't help but praise him. He raised the wine glass in his hand and thanked his two colleagues from the Ningbo Station.
Wu Chengzhang and Chu Zhi also said that they did not dare to drink until their glasses were dry.
The atmosphere in the private room at this time was pleasant and relaxed.
The four of them drank for a while, and the waiter knocked on the door outside and continued to serve the food.
The last two dishes served this time were "Three Fresh Soup" and "Celery Stir-fried Shrimp".
Ma Xiaoguang sighed repeatedly: "Brother Wu, Brother Xu, it's grand!"
The fat man also echoed: "The two officers are so polite..."
Wu Chengzhang raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, Brother Yang, I'm serious. These are actually home-cooked dishes, four dishes and one soup. They do not violate the spirit of the Anti-Japanese War and the New Life Movement..."
"Stationmaster Wu is right. We are not like some of the senior officials in the government. The front is tight and the rear is tight. We have to eat during the war of resistance."
Chu Zhi also smiled, picked up his wine glass, and smiled at the two "imperial envoys".
The master has said this, and Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty can't refute the master's face, so they can only raise their glasses and drink together...
All of you here are discerning people and are not drunkards.
You can't just drink wine, put down your glass and continue tasting the food.
"The fried shrimps with celery are good, the celery is crisp and tender, and the shrimps are sweet..."
Ma Xiaoguang couldn't help but praise the food while tasting it.
"It's best to soak celery in water to preserve it in winter...Tie the celery with a rope and store it in a basin. It can last for a week! This will not only prevent dehydration, but also keep it crisp and tender..."
As a professional, Fatty naturally has to reveal the secrets to everyone from a professional perspective.
"Soak in water to preserve? A week?"
Ma Xiaoguang's eyes froze when he heard this, and many clips and scenes flashed through his mind.
"What's wrong?"
As Chief Ma's current number one follower, Fatty immediately noticed something strange in his boss's expression and asked quickly.
"The real culprit who killed Mr. Qu was not Guang Xiu, but someone else!"
Ma Xiaoguang put down his chopsticks and said solemnly to the three people at the table.
