I make a living solving crimes.

Apart from these, the information Zheng Moyong provided was just some messy and useless information.

Just as he finished saying this, Fan Tuaner came back from the Investigation Bureau with a fairly large stack of information.

Chang Wei opened the file and took a quick look at it. He could only sigh that the setbacks and circumstances in life are unpredictable.

Wei Huandi was born in 1918 in a rich peasant family in Shandong Province. When he was young, his hometown suffered a disaster and an epidemic raged. He was the only one left in his family of eight people from three generations.

Unable to survive in his hometown, he followed the elders in the village and begged all the way to Tianjin.

From the age of eight to twelve, he begged for food for four years and then he came across an opportunity by chance.

That day, when he was begging in the concession with an empty stomach, a rickshaw flashed past him and the passenger in the rickshaw threw something into a trash can on the side of the road.

Wei Huandi had sharp eyes. When he picked it up, he found that it was actually a wallet. There was no money in it. There was only a piece of copperplate dot-matrix paper printed with foreign words and a page of old paper the size of a letter.

Wei Huandi had attended a private school for two years and knew some Chinese characters, but was not familiar with foreign languages. However, he recognized the Arabic numerals on the paper and thought it might be a check from a foreign bank.

Looking at the words on the old paper again, one could barely make out that it was a loan agreement.

Four years of begging had given this twelve-year-old beggar much more experience than other teenagers of the same age. He guessed that the guy sitting on the rickshaw was probably a pickpocket who had stolen a rich man's wallet, took the cash inside and threw away the wallet.

Wei Huandi realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he went to the address on the IOU.

Wei Huandi's judgment was accurate.

The owner of the lost money was Qian Fuyi, the owner of a car repair shop in the concession. The IOU was proof of a sum of 5,000 oceans that he had lent to a friend, but his friend refused to pay it back.

That day, he took the evidence to meet with his lawyer. The check from Citibank was to pay the lawyer's litigation fees. Unexpectedly, his wallet was stolen on the tram. At this moment, he was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

What was even more unexpected was that a little beggar actually returned the wallet to him.

Qian Fuyi was overjoyed and took out the money and forced it on Wei Huandi.

At this moment, Wei Huandi showed his maturity beyond his years and proposed not to ask for any reward, and it would be best if he were given a job.

Qian Fuyi made the decision on the spot and let him work as an apprentice in the Baolong Auto Repair Shop that he ran.

Wei Huandi was smart and completed his apprenticeship after three years of study.

With his ability to read people's expressions, he got to know Wu Sibao of the Green Gang.

The Green Gang was originally a guild-based secret society among the canal sailors. It was originally distributed in the northern Zhili area and later developed to the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions.

Wu Sibao and Qian Fuyi are from the same hometown. Since the auto repair shop has machine tools, once the weapons hidden by the Green Gang break down, Wu Sibao will take them to the repair shop for repair. If parts need to be replaced, they will be made by themselves using machine tools.

After the gun was repaired, Wu Sibao took it to the suburbs for testing. Every time Wu Sibao tested the gun, he would call Wei Huandi along.

Over time, the two became good friends regardless of age difference.

In 1939, Wu Sibao led a group of brothers to join the Public Security Maintenance Association.

In simple terms, it means being a traitor.

In order to take care of his brothers, he brought Wei Huandi in as well.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Sibao joined the Military Control Commission and continued to thrive.

But the good times didn’t last long. After a few years, liberation came.

Wu Sibao was shot and Wei Huandi was sentenced to ten years in prison. The reason they didn't kill him was because he was considered a technical traitor and spy.

In the Vigilante Committee and the Military Control Commission, he did not participate in specific operations, but was only responsible for driving and repairing cars.

Chang Wei tapped the table rhythmically with his index finger. After thinking for a moment, he asked curiously, "Why is his boss Qian Fuyi fine? Baolong Auto Repair is still in business, and there is no joint venture?"

Wu Sibao became friends with Wei Huandi through an auto repair shop. The Baolong Auto Repair Shop often repaired guns for the Green Gang, which was considered to be aiding and abetting the evil. So why didn't the government later settle accounts with the owner Qian Fuyi?

Given the momentum during the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, they should not be able to escape scrutiny.

As a result, not only was Qian Fuyi fined, but even Wei Huandi only served ten years in prison.

"Qian Fuyi's identity is quite complicated."

"Isn't it from my party?"

"No, he is a member of the Sankai group."

Chang Wei understood instantly.

The term "Sankai elements" is a short term for those characters who were "successful" during the Japanese occupation, the Kuomintang period, and after the founding of New China.

He is successful in all three aspects.

This information is not in the archives, so Fan Tuaner can only explain the relationship.

Qian Fuyi did do some secret work for the underground party. His greatest contribution was that he used his personal connections and spent a large sum of money to rescue more than 50 party members from prison before liberation.

After liberation, he continued to use his old connections to provide intelligence on hidden spies to the Investigation Department.

These materials are strictly confidential. If Chang Wei did not have a special identity, he would have no way of knowing them.

Too many things are hidden under the torrent of history, and an occasional splash of wave is a person's ordinary yet brilliant life.

Jiang Hongxia sat for a long time, then stood up and hugged her chest beside the dining table. After listening to Fan Tuan'er's words, she had an idea in her mind, "Chang Wei, the man who met Wei Huandi at the station was holding a briefcase from the wire factory. The couple died of electric shock that day. This can't be a coincidence, right?"

Chang Wei looked at the sunset outside the window, thought for a moment and said, "Let's assume that the man Wei Huandi met at the station was the murderer. Why did he want to kill him?"

"Killing to silence the witness. This guy is also a spy or a traitor. He knows Wei Huandi and we are afraid that he will blackmail or report us."

Chang Wei nodded. "I think it was a threat, and Wei Huandi had already carried it out, so the other party couldn't wait to take action that day, and even killed Wei Huandi's wife to achieve the purpose of completely silencing her."

Jiang Hongxia quickly asked: "Should we start the investigation from the wire factory?"

"Captain Qiu and the others should be able to make arrangements. The Tianjin Electric Wire Factory is a large factory with thousands of workers, so it's not easy to check." Chang Wei thought for a while and began to arrange tomorrow's work.

"Zhang Long, take someone to check on Zheng Moyong tomorrow to see if what he said is true. How did he get to work at the grain station? Did their deputy station chief return from another place yesterday? In particular, ask clearly whether Zheng Moyong's going to pick him up was a normal work arrangement or a special request from him."

"Okay, team leader."

"Zhao Hu, the people from the Municipal Bureau will definitely go to the wire factory tomorrow. You should go with them to find out the situation, especially to find out if anyone went on a business trip or returned yesterday... Also check if anyone from other units who came to Tianjin on a business trip has left."

"Understood, team leader."

"Laifu, you should continue to go to the bathroom tomorrow to find out which unit or person is responsible for the circuit during the construction or maintenance of Xiaoyao Pool."

"Yes, team leader."

"Du Ye...you can continue to go out for a stroll tomorrow."
