"He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing, also did something wrong. He used to cook for a family named Liu. Behind that family were actually spies, traitors, and our enemies."

"Then the spy escaped and you didn't catch him. He Yuzhu knew about this. When you were investigating the case, he didn't report it to you. Does this count as a crime of harboring someone?"

This matter is different from the issue of composition. This is related to the security of a country, so the police must handle it seriously: "Is what you said true?"

“It’s all true.”

Yi Zhonghai said very seriously.

"That family has a very good relationship with He Daqing. I think they should have contacted each other later. I think you should investigate. Maybe you can catch the spy. When He Daqing left our courtyard, I felt something was wrong. Now think about it, he must be trying to escape the punishment of the law."

Yi Zhonghai said solemnly that he had kept this matter in his heart for a long time and had thought that he would never tell it in his entire life, but now under the circumstances he had to tell it. If he didn't tell it, he would have no hope of a reduced sentence.

"You knew about this matter a long time ago, why didn't you report it earlier? You are concealing it and shielding the police."

The policeman said very seriously.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned after hearing this. The police was right. He had never wanted to tell this matter, but now he had to.

He didn't say anything because he didn't want to offend He Daqing. He had a very good relationship with He Daqing in the beginning, so he concealed the matter. But now he needs to make meritorious service and get a reduced sentence, so he can't care less.

Yi Zhonghai thought quickly and said, "It is... because you didn't ask me. If I tell you now, will it be considered a meritorious service?"

The police nodded and said, "If what you said is true and we finally caught the spy, then you will have done a great job."

This matter is very important. If it is true, then Yi Zhonghai has really made a great contribution.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed. He even hoped that the police would quickly investigate the case.

As for whether he was shielding He Daqing, the police felt that it was no longer important. Since he could tell the truth, the police would investigate the case.

Yi Zhonghai was extremely excited. He knew that if the case was really solved, he would have made a great contribution, and even if he was sentenced in the future, his sentence would be reduced.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

The police reported the matter directly to their superiors, who attached great importance to it and asked the police to investigate the case immediately.

Soon, He Yuzhu was brought out for interrogation.

He Yuzhu, who was staying in the municipal detention center, originally thought that he could wait for the trial, but he was unexpectedly brought in for questioning again. For a moment, he began to get nervous again and felt that things were not going well.

He Yuzhu came to the interrogation room and asked nervously: "Comrade police, I have confessed everything I should confess, why are you still interrogating me?"

"Of course we're interrogating you for a reason. There are many other things going on with you, but today we only have two things to ask you."

the police officer asked from his interrogation position.

"Whatever it is, just ask me. I will tell you the truth."

He Yuzhu assured.

"Okay, let me ask you now, did you falsify your identity?"

the policeman asked sternly.

"Falsified identity? How is that possible? I live in the Red Star Courtyard and work as a chef in a steel mill. Everyone knows this. You can go and ask. I'm not lying."

He Yuzhu was very nervous, but he felt that there was no problem with his identity. After all, it had been so many years and the neighbors had all seen it. He believed that no one would slander him!

"You'd better think it through first. We heard that your father, He Daqing, used to do business, selling pancakes and even running a restaurant, right?"

The police continued to ask.

"That's true, but what does it have to do with my identity?"

He Yuzhu didn't understand.

"This shows that you are not a hired farmer at all. Your family is a merchant."

The police's voice suddenly became louder, which scared He Yuzhu.

It is true that he was not a hired farmer, but this incident happened a long time ago. How did the police know about it?

At this moment, He Yuzhu didn't want to tell the truth anymore, because he knew that if he was sentenced and his identity was faked, it would be even worse.

He was able to work in the steel mill kitchen because of his good background as a hired farmer. If he admits now that he is a merchant, the steel mill will definitely not want him after he leaves.

He is still fantasizing that after he gets released in the future, he can go back to work in the steel mill.

"No, I'm a hired farmer. I've reported this to the neighborhood committee. They checked my background. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the neighborhood committee."

He Yuzhu emphasized.

"Of course we will investigate this matter, but there is one more thing I need to ask you."

The policeman said sternly.

Yes, He Yuzhu heard clearly just now that the police wanted to ask him two questions, but he didn't know what sharp questions they would ask next. He just felt that things were heading in a bad direction.

"Please ask, police comrade!"

He Yuzhu said helplessly.

"Did your father cook for a family named Liu?"

The policeman paused, then asked.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, there has been such a thing."

He knew about this and must be telling the truth; it cannot be concealed.

"The man surnamed Liu is the secret agent Liu Mingwu, a wanted criminal, and your father has a very good relationship with him. You also know about this, right?"

The police continued to ask.

He Yuzhu panicked after hearing this. Indeed, this was true. Liu Mingwu was well-known in the capital. Everyone knew that he was a traitor, but he escaped in the end.

"I, I don't know. I don't know anything about wanted criminals and spies. I only know that my father used to cook for a family named Liu. I don't know anything else."

He Yuzhu hurriedly denied it because the matter was very serious and if he got involved with the spies, he would never be able to get out in his life, so he flatly denied it.

"You are talking nonsense. Yi Zhonghai has already told us about this. You know about this. And your father has a good relationship with that person. You should know that if you don't tell the truth, you are suspected of shielding him. It is an aggravated crime."

The police looked at him with cold eyes, which made He Yuzhu feel scared.

"Comrade police officer, Yi Zhonghai is wrongly accusing me. He wants to reduce my sentence, so he said that. I don't know anything at all. Many years ago, my father ran away with a widow and ruthlessly abandoned me and my sister. I don't even recognize him as my father. How could I know these things?"
