Chapter 434 Clues interrupted

When Fang Jinjin and Ji Chenglin came down from the fifth floor of Hubian Village, Li Kang and Li Xiaohu escorted more than 20 people over.

Li Kang reported: "Team leader, these are suspicious persons found nearby. We have brought them here before we have time to interrogate them in detail."

The scenery along Jinniu Lake is pleasant and there are numerous restaurants and hotels.

Hubian Village is the leader among them, and Hao Zailai, Yuelai Hotel and others are not very high-end, but they have a good location and good business.

Among the guests who come and go every day, there are both literati and many successful business travelers. They all come here to appreciate the scenery of Jinniu Lake, and the number of people is very complicated.

When Fang Jinjin and Ji Chenglin entered the Lakeside Village Hotel, Li Kang, Li Xiaohu and others had already carried out secret control of Hao Zailai, Yuelai Hotel, etc., and directly controlled the suspicious persons.

Fang now asked: "Is there a problem with my identity?"

"I checked my identity briefly and there is no big problem."

Fang Jin nodded and glanced at the faces of the arrested people, including men and women. Although these people had angry expressions on their faces, no one dared to express their emotions clearly. Obviously Li

Kang and Li Xiaohu have already taught a lesson to those who don't cooperate.

"Bring them all into the hall! Screening and questioning will begin immediately."

"yes!"

At this moment, Manager Cui from Hubian Village came over. When he saw so many people gathered in his restaurant, he immediately had a bitter look on his face.

Manager Cui and Ji Chenglin were somewhat familiar with each other, but seeing that Fang was a little unfamiliar now, he found an opportunity to pull Ji Chenglin aside and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, what business are you doing here?"

Ji Chenglin glanced at him and said, "What else can you do? Just investigate the case. Don't ask about these things. Just take care of your business."

Manager Cui smiled bitterly: "Where do I have business here? You have blocked the fifth floor for almost two months, and now you have arrested so many people at once. My business..."

Ji Chenglin also knew his difficulty and said in a slightly calmer tone: "Manager Cui, it's not that I don't want to help you. The matters on the fifth floor are decided by our superiors, and I can't make the decision."

Manager Cui looked at Fang Jinjin and lost no time in asking: "Then who is...?"

Ji Chenglin rolled his eyes: "He is also our commander, but you'd better stop asking around!"

Manager Cui hit a wall, still with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, yes. Do you think you should prepare dinner in advance?"

He also considered that he had been losing money for such a long time anyway, so he couldn't offend Lincheng Station at this time, so he might as well do good things to the end.

Ji Chenglin smiled and said, "I won't eat anymore if I accept my intention."

Manager Cui proposed to arrange these people in rooms on the fourth floor. Otherwise, there would be such a group of people piled up in the lobby on the first floor, and he would really not be able to open the door for business.

After Ji Chenglin asked Fang Jin for instructions, he agreed to Manager Cui's suggestion.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Zheng, why are you here too?" Manager Cui inadvertently saw Shopkeeper Zheng in the crowd.

As soon as he called out, Ji Chenglin and others turned their attention to Shopkeeper Zheng.

Shopkeeper Zheng put on a rather helpless expression: "Manager Cui, if you ask me, I don't know who to ask? Manager Cui, you are familiar with these officers, can you tell me, I am a real eight-year-old

An experienced businessman, you know me best."

Fang now quickly figured out the relationship between the two. Although they both ran hotels, they faced very different customer groups and there was no competitive relationship. On the contrary, the two were good friends and often drank together.

Drink tea and chat.

Fang now called Manager Cui and Shopkeeper Zheng together, and asked Li Kang: "What's going on with Shopkeeper Zheng?"

Li Kangdao: "When we entered the Yuelai Hotel, shopkeeper Zheng and the guests were looking at the Lakeside Village Hotel from the window, so..."

The agents always act according to the principle that they would rather arrest three thousand people by mistake than let one go.

Shopkeeper Zheng hurriedly answered: "Sir, I really didn't do anything. After guests check in, we will introduce the features of the hotel. This is a common practice. Please be aware of the details, sir. There is still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the hotel."

Fang Jinjin nodded: "In that case, I will record a confession later and Shopkeeper Zheng can go back."

Shopkeeper Zheng bowed quickly: "Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

He looked at a man in the crowd, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sir, this is also my guest. I was the one who introduced him to the scenery of Jinniu Lake and the situation of the lakeside village. You see...

?”

Fang now followed the direction of his fingers and saw that the man was thickly built and had slightly dark skin. He looked like he often spent time outdoors.

Shopkeeper Zheng introduced: "This guest's surname is Lin, and he is in the medicinal materials business."

"Oh, since we have Shopkeeper Zheng as guarantee, let's take a confession as well."

Shopkeeper Zheng thanked him profusely, and Manager Cui also felt that it was quite honorable. He didn't expect that this young officer was so easy to talk to.

After Li Kang took everyone away, Ji Chenglin stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Team leader, I think that guy surnamed Lin looks like a martial artist. He is probably someone who has held a gun. How could he be let go so easily?"

?”

Fang Jin smiled faintly, but he didn't see the flash of light in the man's eyes. Although this man tried his best to hide it, there was still a faint murderous aura in his body.

"Lao Ji, we are here to track down clues about Japanese spies. Do you think this person is a Japanese spy?"

"It doesn't look like that! I look like someone from the mountains who does business without capital, or a guerrilla from the Red Party!"

"No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with us. It won't cause any unnecessary trouble or offend anyone, what do you think?" Ji Chenglin's guess is almost the same as Fang's now.

Ji Chenglin believed it, and it was right. The local armed forces and police were responsible for suppressing the bandits, and sending out Lincheng Station was just killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

And if the other party is a guerrilla force of the Red Party, and it is a matter of the local armed forces and the Lincheng Investigation Room, it has nothing to do with the Lincheng Station.

Even if someone is arrested, how will they be dealt with in the future?

Should it be handed over to the Lincheng Investigation Office or not?

Currently, Fang still has a hot potato that he has yet to deal with.

Therefore, Ji Chenglin understands Fang's mood at the moment very well.

Even if that young man is really a guerrilla of the Red Party, what if he is released right under his nose?

As long as it is not conducive to the Lincheng Investigation Room, the people at Lincheng Station are always willing to see it.

The interrogation was left to Li Kang and Li Xiaohu. Now Fang and Ji Chenglin had to face the owner and three clerks of the Hao Zai Lai Hotel.

The four people were taken directly back to Lincheng Station.

When the boss saw Wang Weizhong, his eyes tightened.

Wang Weizhong said expressionlessly: "Boss Qin, we met not long ago."

It turned out that at that time Wang Weizhong was responsible for monitoring the "Kite" who was staying at the Lakeside Village Hotel in an inn next to the Haozai Lai Hotel.

However, when they went to Hao Zai Lai to book a room, Hao Zai Lai was fully booked, so they had to choose another place.

However, the king of heaven, Wei Zhong, had met Boss Qin once before, and Boss Qin also had a very good memory, so he immediately recognized the guest Wang Weizhong.

He vaguely guessed Wang Weizhong's identity, and his legs trembled with fear.

According to Boss Qin's recollection, combined with the check-in records of the past few days at the time of the incident, Fang quickly identified a man named Xu Caohong. According to the check-in records, this man was a painter who came from AH.

.

Boss Qin remembered very clearly that Xu Caohong carried a drawing board, paper, pens and paints with him, and he once went to the lakeside to paint.

This man is about 27 or 28 years old. He is handsome and fair-skinned. Judging from his demeanor, he should be well-educated.

The only drawback is that he is not very tall, about 1.7 meters tall.

There are five telephones in Haozai Lai Hotel. Except for the counter on the first floor, the remaining four are in the four rooms on the top floor. The number "5614" is the phone number in Xu Caohong's room.

Ji Chenglin once visited the room on the spot and had a very good view. He could clearly see the situation in Room 530 of the Lakeside Village Hotel diagonally opposite.

Fang is not sure now that Xu Caohong is the direct murderer of "Kite". Maybe he was just a relay person who passed information to the murderer.

That day Xu Caohong received a call from Shi Yaohua and learned that "Kite" had arrived in Yihuchun, and later notified the murderer to carry out the assassination.

Less than half an hour after the "Kite" incident, Xu Caohong checked out and left Haozai Lai Hotel.

Fang now mobilized all his strength, but no trace of Xu Caohong could be found in Lincheng.

In other words, after "Kite" was killed, Xu Caohong's identity as a painter was abandoned by him.

The other party was very cautious and took the initiative to cut off the clues and not leave any tail for Lincheng Station.

Fang couldn't help but grit his teeth now. If he had discovered the clues to Hao Zai Lai's hotel earlier, he might have found the tail of the murderer.

Zhang Xinhua regretted it very much after hearing this. In order not to alarm the "Kite" that day, they did not reveal their identities to Boss Qin to get a room for surveillance. Instead, they passed Xu Caohong by.

In this way, the death of "Kite" and the information it carried have become a mystery.

Zhang Xinhua's experience in Lincheng can be said to be perfect, but the "Kite" case was like a sharp thorn, piercing deeply into his heart and tormenting him all the time.

"Wei Zhong, now, both of you have witnessed the 'Kite' case. I don't think I need to elaborate on its importance. Although we have found clues about Xu Caohong, the clues have been quickly broken.

I am as frustrated as you. You have cracked many Japanese espionage cases before, but you must not be complacent. Japanese spies are far more cunning than we think.

We still have a lot to do, so don't be discouraged, work hard and continue to look for other clues.

I believe that as long as we work hard, we will definitely gain something!”
