Seeing that Chen Dahu's psychological defenses had been broken, the interrogator added fuel to the fire. He looked at Chen Dahu and said jokingly, "Before arresting you, our people had already thoroughly investigated your experience in Xiawan Village. Guess what interesting things we found?"

"What?" Chen Dahu kept swallowing nervously. The veins on his hands hanging on his thighs were bulging from pinching his legs that were shaking uncontrollably.

"According to investigations in Xiawan Village, in the summer of 1949, Chen Dahu and his family of three were working in the mountains behind the village when they were buried by a mudslide caused by a sudden downpour."

"You are the only one who survived among the three of us. You were hit in the thigh by a falling rock, and your face was scratched by broken branches while you were swept along by the mudslide, leaving you disabled and disfigured."

"The villagers who conducted the investigation recalled that due to your serious injuries, your relatives in the city took you to a large hospital outside for treatment. You only returned to Xiawan Village and settled there in early 1953."

The interrogator paused at this point, then looked at the person opposite him and suddenly said, "Do you know why I singled out this experience? Chen Wen!"

Chen Dahu suddenly raised his head and looked at the person opposite him. He stared at him for a long time, then suddenly relaxed, leaned back in his chair and laughed.

Chen Dahu, no, now he should be called Chen Wen!

"Can you give me a Zhonghua cigarette? I know your rules: leniency for confession, severity for resistance! Since you've already found out this far, I have nothing to hide!"

The interrogator looked at Chen Wen, asked someone outside the interrogation room to find a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and bring them in, and then lit it for Chen Wen himself.

Originally, Chen Dahu was just an old farmer. In order to protect Chen Dahu's identity, Chen Wen had been hiding his real name for many years. He didn't dare to smoke or even drink, for fear that drinking too much would reveal his identity and arouse suspicion.

In the small interrogation room, Chen Wen leaned back in his chair, blowing out smoke rings. The interrogator could not see any expression on his face.

However, recalling the introduction of Chen Wen in the information, as the young master of the Chen family in Haicheng, he went abroad to study in his early years. Therefore, he was exposed to new ideas and joined our party. Later, he was arrested during the White Revolution and betrayed the organization because he could not endure the torture. Later, he worked in the puppet government until he suddenly disappeared before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Who would have thought that such a person with such rich personal experience would be exposed because of Qian Zhaodi. It can be said that if Qian Zhaodi's incident had not happened, he could have been hidden without being discovered.

It didn't take long to smoke a cigarette, and Chen Wen seemed to have prepared himself mentally. He began to explain what had happened.

"I recently learned about Chen Qingxue from someone lurking in Haicheng. I know she's in Beijing and married to Gu An. I was the one who lured Qian Zhaodi to Beijing and offered her a large sum of money to report Chen Qingxue."

"From what we know, you and Chen Qingxue are cousins. Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity by going to such great lengths to arrange for Qian Zhaodi to go to the capital?"

Because Qian Zhaodi's behavior really could not stand up to scrutiny, the interrogators felt that Chen Wen's actions this time were full of flaws and were inconsistent with Chen Wen's style of doing things.

"Of course I know that. I just didn't expect Qian Zhaodi, this chess piece, to be exposed so quickly. According to my original estimate, the investigation alone would take at least half a month. That's more than enough time for me to escape."

Chen Wen had to stay in hiding because the situation changed too quickly and he didn't have time to retreat. Over the years, he had already established connections with people above and below him, so there was a reason why he didn't leave. We will talk about this later.

Chen Wen pondered for a moment and then continued, "If you check my information, you should find that I suddenly disappeared in 48. I didn't disappear on my own initiative, but was caused by Chen Qingxue."

"Back in the Chen family, I offered Chen Qingxue to Wang Wenquan for personal gain. Unexpectedly, Wang Wenquan died and she escaped. But my sister is no pushover either. Who could have imagined she'd secretly returned to Haicheng in 48 and, using her own methods against me, bribed my servants to knock me unconscious and steal me from the Chen family. Not only did they break my legs, they also made me a eunuch."

At this point, Chen Wen's tone was so vicious that he almost threatened to kill someone. "It was because of this serious injury that I missed the retreat and had to stay in Haicheng!"

Chen Wen's words surprised the interrogators a little. From the information they had investigated, Chen Qingxue had been engaged in logistics work in the organization. They really didn't expect that she could retaliate against Chen Wen in this way.

It can only be said that no one living in a large family is a simple person. They usually don't take action because they are not pushed to the limit. Look at Chen Wen's current appearance and you can see his methods.

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have been hiding in Haicheng, but due to the serious situation in the city, I planned to move to the countryside. It just so happened that Chen Dahu and I were distant relatives and looked somewhat similar, so I planned to murder the three of them and use them as a substitute!"
