Scholars in the courtyard

Song Tao raised his head and looked back, "What's wrong?"

"There's a noise in the house!"

Yang Xiaotao pointed inside and said, after a few people took a closer look, they saw that there was indeed a figure moving.

Xiaowei even sent news that Mulin was getting up.

Several people held back their temper and continued to wait.

After a while, I saw someone going out, probably getting up for the night.

Yang Xiaotao and Song Tao looked at each other. This person was Mulin.

Then he waved his hand and slowly hid in the corner.

Now that the other party has come out, they save themselves trouble.

After waiting for a while downstairs, they saw Mu Lin come out of the house, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, holding his stomach with one hand, and trotted to the toilet.

Shen Tao made a gesture and everyone waited patiently.

Ten minutes later, Mulin came out of the toilet, his steps were sloppy, his expression looked like he was exhausted, and he felt weak when walking.

Woo woo

The moment Mu Lin stepped onto the stairs, Zhang Kangzhan rushed out from the corner. When Mu Lin didn't respond, he had already strangled his neck with one arm, covered his mouth with the other hand, and put his knee on Mu Lin's waist. On top, the whole person was held down.

Before Mulin could react, Yang Xiaotao and Shen Tao came forward and twisted the arms that were still resisting.

For a moment, Mulin just wanted to make a sound and attract the attention of people around him!

But it was useless no matter how hard he stared and vomited.

Soon, several people picked up the gagged and blindfolded Mulin and got into the car, quickly disappearing into the dark night.

"Let me go, uh uh..."

"Who are you? Let me go. I am the officer of the Security Section of the National Cotton Factory. Don't be presumptuous..."

"Hmm..."

In the car, Mulin swayed from side to side, trying to break free, shouting loudly, and struggling hard.

When he was first caught, he was scared to death and his mind was in chaos.

But now, the panic was over, he had regained his composure, and began to think of countermeasures.

The person who arrested him this time was probably the one who came to investigate this incident.

As for why he was arrested, he didn't have to think about it, he knew it in his heart.

Others say that if you don’t do bad things, you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door!

It wasn't that he had no regrets, but he knew in his heart that they had completed the finishing work on this matter.

As long as they do what they agreed upon and refuse to agree, this matter can be overcome.

Moreover, if the family members find out that he is not here, they will definitely go to the factory to bury him.

By then, Section Chief Wang will be able to save himself.

Therefore, as long as he bites his tongue during this period, there will be no problem.

Besides, as long as they don't bite each other, no one can do anything to them.

It was after he figured it out that Mulin struggled hard, but he felt calm inside.

In the car, no one spoke.

Song Tao just glanced at the struggling Mulin, then sat aside and motioned to the driver to go around again.

When the car stopped, Song Tao got out of the car, and the security guard waiting at the door made ready gestures to him.

"Bring the people down."

"Xiao Wang. What's going on over there? Have you all been arrested?"

As Song Tao said, the guard at the door nodded and said loudly, "Director, we have captured everyone."

"You don't know, the other party wanted to resist and escape, but he was held down as soon as we entered the door, and he was caught in a trap!"

"Okay, let's continue the action. Wang Wen has told us that there are many people. No one can be left behind tonight!"

"yes!"

The simple conversation between the two shocked Mulin who was lifted out of the car.

Especially when he heard what Wang Wen had told him, he couldn't believe it.

"It's fake, it must be fake!"

"How can someone as powerful as Wang Wen explain?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Mulin pouted and spoke in a way that was unintelligible, but what he wanted to say was for himself to hear, and he just wanted to convince himself.

Because all this seems impossible to him!

With their bodies hanging in the air, the four were carried toward the house.

He couldn't see it with his eyes, but the noisy noises around him made him realize that he was not in a good place.

"Send it to No. 3 first and let him calm down!"

"yes!"

The person from before spoke, and Mulin felt his body change direction, and then walked forward.

"Leader, I have said everything I said!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came to his ears, which made him stunned for a moment, and then he began to twist involuntarily.

The timbre of each person's speech is unique, and people who are familiar with it can hear the difference in speech.

He and Wang Wen had been together for such a long time. To be honest, in the crowd, he might not be able to hear his wife's shouts, but if Wang Wen said something, he would definitely find the source.

But it was this familiarity that made it difficult for him to accept.

"Wang Wen, think carefully and don't hide anything!"

Mulin struggled more and more fiercely.

He wanted to make sure that the person was Wang Wen.

"What are you doing? Be honest..."

There were scoldings from the guards around me, but I couldn't hear them at all. I just thought about the sound just now.

"Leader, I have told you everything I know. What else do you want to know?"

"Leader, by arresting those people, I can consider it a meritorious service. Please give me leniency!"

"I was forced to do this by them..."

The familiar voice pierced his heart like a knife.

At this moment, he dared to conclude that the other party was Wang Wen.

Uh-huh

Mulin wanted to shout loudly, wanted to scold, wanted to scold.

We agreed to carry it together.

We agreed that no one would be a traitor.

Why did you turn around and throw your words into the Huangpu River?

I thought the most determined one among them was the boss.

But I didn't expect that I would fight to the death, but you surrendered first.

What a mess!

Bang!

He was slapped on the back of his head.

"Be honest!"

"You will be in trouble later!"

"Hmph! Shameful troublemaker, you don't want to die and you also implicate your family, you might as well die!"

The guards around him cursed, then lifted him up and walked forward.

At this moment, Mu Lin's face was ashen.

He thought of his wife on the bed, so gentle and beautiful.

He thought of his mother at home, and his daughter who called him dad...

He thought of everything now, which was so beautiful, but it could be lost in a moment.

The gap made Mu Lin confused, but his face was red.

The boss confessed honestly and gave him out, what else could he do?

Insist? Resist?

Creak

Just when he was in a state of confusion, the door was pushed open, and then he felt his body being pressed on a chair, and then someone untied him and took off the blindfold.

In an instant, the surrounding scene came into view.

Iron window, iron door, empty wall, narrow space.

Across from him was a table, two chairs, and a yellow light bulb above his head.

The cold wind blew through the window, making him shiver.

It was self-evident where this was.

The person who came to remove the blindfold for him was about to leave, obviously to let him calm down.

But how could he calm down now? Otherwise, while others didn't speak, he had to try to show meritorious service and reduce his guilt.

"Comrade, comrade, don't leave!"

"Comrade!"

Creak

The door closed.

Mu Lin was so anxious that he lay on the iron door. The other party's recklessness made him even more flustered.

It would be strange if this was okay.

"Comrade. I confess!"

Bang bang bang

Mu Lin knocked on the iron door vigorously and shouted hard.

"Comrade, leader, chief, I am willing to confess, I will confess!"

Mu Lin's voice was full of shrillness.

On the side of the corridor, after hearing Mu Lin's voice, Shen Tao and Yang Xiaotao smiled at each other.

It was a good start.

"Next, don't let down the chain!"

Yang Xiaotao reminded, Song Tao nodded, "Don't worry, this is our forte!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took a notebook, paper and pen and followed Song Tao in.

As for Zhang Kangzhan, Yang Xiaotao asked him to go back and report the news first, and bring Wangcai by the way.

Of course, in order to prevent Wangcai from being disobedient, Xiaowei also went back.

The two people who had arranged the plan came to the door.

Mu Lin was still slapping the iron door, shouting with snot and tears.

Suddenly seeing the two people coming to him, he was startled at first.

Then he reacted and shouted, "Leader, I, I confessed, I made meritorious service, I ask for a lighter sentence!"

Song Tao frowned when he heard it, "Lesson? Ha!"

Seeing Song Tao say this, Mu Lin's heart trembled, could it be that the other party knew everything?

"Chief, leader, please listen to me, I know a lot of things, some things others don't know, I can confess, I can make meritorious service!"

Song Tao frowned, then thought for a while.

Then, in Mu Lin's expectation, he waved to the guard beside him.

The latter immediately stepped forward to open the door, and then three people walked in.

The guard pressed Mu Lin on the chair, while Song Tao and the other person sat opposite.

Song Tao glanced at Mu Lin, then threw a thick folder of pistols on the table, pretending to be indifferent and said, "Tell me, what do you know!"

Mu Lin opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

"Leader, I, what did I say?"

Bang

Song Tao slammed the table, "You are teasing me, you said you were the one who was told, now you are not going to say anything, what do you want to do?"

"I, I..."

Mu Lin almost cried, he really didn't know what to say!

"Start from your acquaintance with Wang Wen!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly spoke at the side, and Mu Lin nodded immediately.

Finally there is a beginning!

"I, I have been following Section Chief Wang, Wang Wen since 1960, when he was just an officer..."

"Later we took cloth from the warehouse, but exchanged it for money and food in the pigeon market, and then used it to open up new channels..."

"Wang Wen said that it was you and Yu Laoer who burned the warehouse, and it had nothing to do with him!"

Song Tao suddenly spoke.

Caught off guard, Mu Lin shouted without thinking, "He's talking nonsense! It wasn't me, it was Yu Laoer who did it. I didn't do it, it wasn't me who set the fire!"

After saying this, Yang Xiaotao's hand that was recording shook violently, and Shen Tao couldn't help but relax his straightened waist.

Both of them knew in their hearts that this bet was right!

"Remember this, you have to check with Wang Wen about this matter."

"You can't listen to one side."

Shen Tao turned his head and said to Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao nodded in a serious manner.

"By the way, Yu Laoer hasn't spoken yet?"

"No, he just kept silent after being caught, looking fearless."

The two of them said simply, but it gave Mu Lin hope.

"Chief, leader, I know everything, you don't need to ask him, I know everything!"

Song Tao turned around, "Do you know how he set the fire?"

"I know! This trick was taught to us by Wang Wen! He said he learned it on the battlefield!"

Then Mu Lin told about the second brother's trick, which was a simple combination of matches and incense, placed next to the cloth strip.

Shen Tao and the others also understood why the fire started only after Mu Lin and his two companions came out after five people went in!

This was to frame Zhang Shengli!

As Mu Lin told everything he knew, Yang Xiaotao and Song Tao smiled more and more.

This Mu Lin is indeed Wang Wen's right-hand man and confidant.

He participated in most of Wang Wen's affairs.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't used tricks this time, it would have been difficult to know so many inside stories.

Especially since they arrested people without any evidence, if the higher-ups knew about it, the impact would be bad.

Now it's good, a small trick solved the problem.
