Sun Quengui sighed softly, his expression grave as he said, "He has connections with people in Beijing, but no matter how we interrogate him, he clenches his teeth and refuses to reveal who they are. This is an extremely dangerous sign; there may be a much larger conspiracy hidden behind the scenes. We dare not take this lightly, so we cannot put him on trial yet. We must get to the bottom of this lead."
Sun Quengui was deeply troubled. After all, Yang Dafang was a veteran with nerves of steel; many interrogation techniques simply didn't work on him. Yang Xin didn't know much about his father either, so they couldn't dig out much useful information, causing the interrogation to stall.
Su Qianli began searching her memory. In the book, Yang Dafang had returned to Qingshan County and climbed the career ladder steadily. Later, the father and son worked the political scene together, sailing through life without a hitch until Yang Xin was executed by firing squad and Yang Dafang died shortly after. The book never mentioned any deep involvement with people from Beijing.
