Chapter 64 Suspected Spy

Cheng Shi and the two left the conference room and went to a place agreed upon by Deng Xin and his friend, which was the intersection of the French Concession and the Public Concession!
The Shanghai Public Settlement (British and American Concession) was the first concession to appear in modern China. It was formed by the merger of the original British Concession and the American Concession in 1863.
The Shanghai Public Settlement was the earliest, longest-standing, and largest in the history of Chinese concessions!
It is a concession with the most prosperous economy, the most complete laws, the largest management organization, and the most prosperous development.
Today's northern Huangpu, Jing'an, Hongkou, and Yangpu districts along the southern riverside are the most important components of the Shanghai Public Settlement!
Echoing the Shanghai Public Concession is the Shanghai French Concession. The French Concession is a long and narrow plot of land, while the Public Concession is a nearly square plot of land!
Although there is no intersection between the three places, there is a narrow plot of land in the French Concession between the public concession and Shanghai County!
This place is also where Deng Xin and others will meet when something happens. There is no instructions from above for them to jointly handle the case, so naturally they cannot talk about it on the phone!
On the way, Deng Xin had already introduced the basic information about the two people he was about to meet. The agent from the public concession was named Fang Lin, a native of Shanghai.
He has a rich family and has a lot of ancestral property for rent. He used to be a small gangster, and later joined the public concession and became a patrolman!
Hua Mucheng, a patrolman in Shanghai County, was born in poverty. His wife died young and he also has a son and a daughter, so he works very hard.
Soon the two of them arrived at the restaurant where the three of them often met. After the waiter saw Deng Xin, they were led to a private room on the second floor of the restaurant!
This is a small restaurant on the second floor, and it can still be seen that the decoration is very exquisite. It is a high-end Chinese restaurant.
The waiter stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the people inside asked, and heard that the person he was waiting for had arrived, and then someone opened the door.
Fang Lin laughed and said, "Why did you come here? You sounded like you were in a hurry on the phone. I'll come over as soon as I know something!"
Cheng Shi said apologetically: "Brother Fang, we have another meeting in the dormitory, so we're late. I've invited you to have this meal today. You can order whatever you want!"
Although Fang Lin was very confused about Cheng Shi who was next to Deng Xin, he knew that now was not the time to ask, so he wanted to let the two people into the house first.
Several people sat down at the table. Hua Mucheng saw the unfamiliar face of Cheng Shi and was the first to ask in confusion.
"Xiao Deng, this brother next to you? I've never seen him before. Is he a new colleague from your patrol room?!"
Naturally, he had no intention of looking down on the other party. Cheng Shi looked very calm, and after the two of them entered the room, Deng Xin stood behind him.
Hua Mucheng is naturally a person who is good at observation, otherwise he would not have achieved the position of captain in a few years as a poor man!
Deng Xin smiled and said: "Cheng Shi, my eldest brother, is an agent of the Central Police Station, and I am also an agent of the Central Police Station now!"
When they heard about the detectives from the central arrest room, both of them looked puzzled. Hua Mucheng smiled and said.
"I really didn't expect that Xiao Deng, not long after you became an agent, you would be promoted to the central police station so quickly. Congratulations, congratulations!"
When I scratched my head, I said sheepishly: "How can I not do that? It was Brother Cheng who brought me here, and now I am a detective investigating the murder case!"
Deng Xin then introduced the three of them to each other, and Fang Lin got down to the topic: "I actually found out the identity of the person you asked me to investigate this time in our prison cell!"
The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this. Just when they were about to continue asking, they heard Hua Mucheng on the side speak.
"I also found out his identity!"
Deng Xin said in surprise: "What?!"
Fang Linhuamu then nodded and said, "Yes, the person you asked us to investigate has been in both of our prisons!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he immediately asked: "What is his identity?!"
Fang Lin smiled and said: "His name is Li Fangcheng in the public concession. He is a snack vendor. He was arrested for stealing more than a year ago!"
Cheng Shi frowned and said in confusion: "Brother Fang, he is called Li Fangcheng in the public concession. What does that mean?!"
Hua Mucheng on the side then smiled and said: "That's because his name is Wei Jifen in Shanghai County. More than half a year ago, he was discovered by his owner for stealing things and he killed him!
After that, he was locked up for murder. A month ago, on the way to the trial, he escaped by some means!
If Xiao Deng and I hadn't helped him check this person this time, I wouldn't have known that he had died in the French Concession!"
Cheng Shi then asked: "Well, then these two are also pseudonyms he used, right?!"
After hearing this, the two of them shook their heads in unison and said, "No, both identities are real and detailed information can be found!"
Cheng Shi then looked at Fang Lin with doubts, and then asked: "In this case, how can you confirm that these two people are the same person?!"
Fang Lin then said with a smile: "A person who has been in prison will naturally know his detailed characteristics. I found him after Xiao Deng gave me the characteristics!"
Hua Mucheng also smiled and said: "Yes, when I first came here, I saw Fang Lin and chatted for a few words!
I originally thought that one of the two people we were investigating was the person Xiao Deng was looking for, but after I mentioned several common characteristics between the two of them!
We were surprised to find that these two people were actually the same person!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he thought quickly in his mind, this person has two or more true identities!
Who could he be?!
Then Cheng Shi was shocked. Could it be that the identity of the mysterious man was the most famous spy in the Republic of China?!
Cheng Shi thought of this, and then asked: "Who did he steal, and who did he want to kill?!"
Fang Lin said with a smile: "We don't know what he did, and we have to go back. I'll give you these two documents. We have to go back to do things first!"
After hearing this, Deng Xin stood up and said, "Thank you two brothers. You have helped me a lot. If you need my help in any way, just let me know!"
At this time, Cheng Shi also stood up and said a few polite words, and then the two of them were sent out!
The two returned to the restaurant again, and Deng Xin said doubtfully: "This thief actually has two identities, but which one is his real identity?!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said: "Does a thief need to have several real identities? Moreover, if you are caught stealing, there is no need to kill someone!
So he is not simply a thief. These two identities are probably not his true identities!
But today we finally have new clues, and the trip was worthwhile. Now we need to find out why he stole things from those two places!"
