Chapter 946, The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers
Look at your watch. It's nine o'clock in the evening.
Zhang Yong silently raised his telescope and observed the entrance and exit not far away.
This place is where Qiu Yingpeng took photos. He hid here and photographed people coming in and out in the distance.
Over there is actually the entrance to a market. Entering into it is a lively street.
There are many shops on both sides of the street.
At nine o'clock in the evening, there is an unspoken curfew. But the place is still lively.
It is probably a rare night market in Jinling.
Many senior staff in suits were sitting on the street, drinking and talking and laughing.
I even saw people in military uniforms, officers at the rank of major, sitting on the street, drinking, talking and laughing.
In this context, it doesn't seem strange even if one or two men or women appear in Mao suits. No one will pay special attention.
Take out Qiu Yingpeng's photo.
In the photo, there are only people coming in and out.
Qiu Yingpeng didn't know exactly where the traitor went to meet up.
The place where he put the money was under a flower pot in the middle of the street. He pressed the money under the flower pot.
Very simple delivery technique. But very effective.
Suddenly, my mind moved.
A yellow dot comes quietly.
hidden.
Raise the telescope.
Soon, Wang Shengping appeared in sight.
Huh?
It's actually him?
What is he doing here?
He is an undercover agent of the Red Party, so it is impossible for him to betray information to the Japanese invaders.
eccentric……
Hope he isn't.
Otherwise, even if he is a red party member, he must be killed.
The traitor must die.
No matter who he is.
Watching Wang Shengping enter the street.
This street seems to be called a food street? It really deserves its name. The whole street sells food.
People come and go in an endless stream.
However, Wang Shengping did not buy anything after entering.
He walked along the street to the end. Then he paused for a moment and turned back. Apparently he was carefully searching both sides of the street.
"This guy……"
"I have no experience..."
Zhang Yong frowned secretly.
Wang Shengping's actions were so abnormal.
If someone from the Party Affairs Investigation Department were here, they would notice him immediately.
How can you just look at it? Cover it up somewhat.
It is estimated that he has stayed in the presidential palace for a long time and is not used to the outside world.
What's wrong!
If you don't stay at the Presidential Palace properly, why would you come out to join in the fun?
If you continue like this, something will happen sooner or later.
Zhang Yong silently monitored the map and found no abnormalities, so he entered the food street directly.
He came up behind Wang Shengping quietly, and the other party didn't even notice. So he stretched out his hand and held Wang Shengping's shoulders.
"who?"
Wang Shengping turned around quickly.
When he saw it was Zhang Yong, his nervous expression relaxed.
Zhang Yong noticed that his expression just now was obviously frightened. There were many flaws.
"Commissioner Zhang..."
"I know you. We met during the day. What are you doing here?"
"I, I, came to buy something..."
"I noticed you just now. You walked from the street to the end of the street and then turned back. What do you want to buy? You walked twice and couldn't find it?"
"I bought pear blossom paste. I didn't find it."
"It's summer now, where did you get the pear blossom paste?"
"I thought there was!"
"Go back quickly! It's not safe here! People from the Party Affairs Investigation Department are hunting for red party members everywhere. If they find out what you are like now, they might think you are a red party member."
"I'll go back now, just go back."
"Go quickly!"
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
Wang Shengping left in a hurry without looking back.
The surveillance map showed that he indeed kept leaving. He did not quietly turn back midway.
At the same time, there is no second yellow dot within the monitoring range.
In other words, he is not here to connect. He probably isn't here to get anything.
If it's a joint or a handover of items, there must be a specific address or a password. You won't run around like this.
It is speculated that he may know that there is something going on here. But he doesn't know the details, so he came to check it out. He may have come more than once. He was also photographed by Qiu Yingpeng.
Leave the food court.
Continue to observe until late at night.
Never found again.
Tonight, only one suspect appears. That is Wang Shengping.
By early morning, the food street was finally empty. There was an official curfew outside, so Zhang Yong had no choice but to go home.
It's past midnight and it's impossible for anyone to be out on the streets, especially the suspects.
Documents must be checked at each level, leaving a lot of traces.
"Close the team."
"yes."
Lead the team back to Daqiaochang Airport.
Just in time for the midnight snack here, I had a hearty meal right away. Then I took a shower and went to bed.
When he woke up the next morning, he received another call from the attendant's office asking him to go to the Presidential Palace.
So I entered the Presidential Palace again.
"director……"
"Last night, something happened."
"What's up?"
"Lu Shouchang is dead."
"Who is he?"
"Second-level clerk in the confidential room. One of the suspects who took away confidential documents."
"How did you die?"
"The report from the police station is that he was drunk, accidentally fell into the water, and drowned."
"Drown?"
"Yes. The police department was the first to arrive at the scene. Because there was no ID on the deceased, it took a long time to find out that he was a staff member of the Presidential Palace."
"Drowning, that's fine. Cover the eyes and ears of others. Outsiders won't suspect..."
"The opponent is very clever."
"Let me go to the scene first. It just so happens that someone drowned, so I will use this incident to start an investigation!"
"good."
Director Lin nodded.
The opponent is indeed not simple. He arranged for Lu Shouchang to drown.
Obviously, the opponent did not want to draw attention to the Chamber of Servants. As it happened, the Chamber of Servants themselves did not want to attract attention either.
He wanted to speak but stopped.
Actually, Zhang Yong thought of something.
He felt that this Lu Shouchang might not be the real traitor.
It is entirely possible for a spy to kill him and then pose as a traitor. In this way, the real traitor can continue to lurk.
However, these are all inferences. There is no evidence to support them. So, hold on.
Zhang Yong is not good at handling cases according to normal procedures. At this time, foreign aid must be invited.
What foreign aid does Jinling have?
The first thing that comes to mind is Huang Benkuan, that old policeman, and the underground party.
Huang Benkuan was responsible for the previous investigation of spies in the Military Senate and many peripheral tasks. In this case, it is better to invite him this time.
Come out of the Presidential Palace.
First call the police headquarters and report your identity.
"You are..."
"I am Zhang Yong! Inspector of the Military and Political Commission!"
"Please wait!"
They didn't dare to neglect, so they hurriedly reported it.
Soon after, Zhang Yong heard a familiar voice. It was Police Chief Li Shizhen.
Oh? It was him? He actually answered the phone in person?
Hehe. I feel a little complacent.
He Zhang Yong also has today.
In the past, he was just a small character, and it was impossible to talk directly to Li Shizhen.
But now, he is qualified to communicate directly with Li Shizhen. He calls and Li Shizhen answers it personally. It's great. He likes the feeling of a villain succeeding.
"Director General, excuse me." Of course, basic courtesy is still required. Be polite first and then fight!
There seems to be no grudge between him and the Police Headquarters.
I have no grudges with the Military Police Headquarters. I still have interests tied to Gu Bafeng.
The only person who conflicts with him is Xuan Tiewu.
"Commissioner Zhang..."
Over there, Li Shizhen was also very enthusiastic.
They are all old foxes who have been cultivating for thousands of years. Naturally, their words in that scene were full of excitement and their tongues were full of flowers.
Zhang Yong was not inferior. He also responded with all kinds of gorgeous words, and his words were also very resounding.
After half an hour of business talk, we got to the point.
"Director General, I would like to ask you how many people you want to secondment."
"Say, Commissioner, whoever you want, I will deploy it immediately. Even if you want me, an old man, I will go there immediately."
"That's too serious. That's too serious. Director-General, you are my elder. You are not allowed to say such things. Otherwise, I will be struck by lightning. In fact, I just want to secondment Huang Benkuan for a period of time. I have been seconded before.
He does a good job and is a veteran. Someone drowned in the confidential room this time, so we have to ask him to come forward."
"No problem. I have arranged for him to arrive at the scene in advance. After you go to the scene, just ask him to obey your orders."
"Thank you, Director General."
Zhang Yong smiled and flattered him again.
You can wear it a thousand times, but you can never wear it to flatter yourself.
You may smile on the outside but feel numb behind the scenes. You must first do your best on the outside.
He cannot imitate the good Zhang Yong, but he is self-taught in the bad. After being soaked in the big dye vat of the Fruit Party for more than a year, he has become very good at flattering.
hang up the phone.
Rush to the scene.
The scene is near the Qinhuai River.
It is a branch of a river that eventually merges into the Qinhuai River.
To say how deep the river is, it is at most the waist of an adult.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to drown an adult. However, drunkenness is an exception.
"Huang Benkuan."
"Sir."
"what's the situation?"
"To be sure, it was indeed drowning."
"Did you suffer any other injuries before entering the water?"
"not found."
"Water in your lungs?"
"There was a lot of water. It turned white. It was definitely drowning."
"oh."
Zhang Yong nodded thoughtfully.
Basic common sense, if you fall into the water after death, your lungs will not be choked by water.
In true drowning, a large amount of water will accumulate in the lungs and turn white.
For Huang Benkuan, such basic criminal investigation is still very clear.
Therefore, the most likely possibility is that Lu Shouchang was pushed into the water after he was drunk.
The enemy must have induced him to drink.
Then he deliberately induced him to walk along the riverside road.
In a dangerous area, he was pushed into the water with a gentle push, and then drowned.
Unfortunately, there is no video surveillance.
If it were a later generation, there would be cameras everywhere and the case would be solved in minutes.
"Old Huang."
"Sir."
"I told your director-general that you will be seconded again to help me handle the case. From now on, you will use my name to start the investigation."
"clear."
"If you encounter anyone who obstructs you, just tell me my name. I will supervise him."
"OK."
"This is the fund for handling the case. You take it first. Don't be stingy about using it. If it's not enough, give it back."
"clear."
Huang Benkuan took the banknote.
He was used to rich men like Zhang Yong.
As the old saying goes, the emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers. But few actually do it. It just so happens that Zhang Yong really did it.
No matter who it is, as long as they do something for him, it will be money.
I will never treat you badly at any time.
You just need to keep your head down and do the work.
"Go for it!"
"yes."
Huang Benkuan is gone.
Zhang Yong then ignored the matter.
He is not a professional, so he should not interfere with Huang Benkuan's ideas.
What he is good at is catching Japanese spies.
Therefore, we still have to start with the spy.
Japanese spy...
film……
Suddenly I remembered that I still had a film on me. It was found from a Japanese spy.
After searching it, I never had time to post it. Therefore, Zhang Yong didn’t know what the content was.
Fortunately, I have time now to take pictures.
I walked along the street looking for a photo studio. I couldn't find it for a long time.
Finally, I stopped a patrolman and asked, only to learn that there were no photo studios nearby. I had to go to Grand Admiralty Road.
Well. At that time, photo studios were indeed relatively rare. Taking photos was not affordable for ordinary people.
Arrive at Grand Admiralty Road.
Found a yellow dot.
two……
three...
four...
Huh? So many yellow dots?
What are you doing? Is the underground party in Jinling having a meeting?
With so many people gathered together, wouldn’t they be afraid of being singled out by Xu Enzeng? Oh, Xu Enzeng was in Shanghai...
keep going.
Found a photo studio.
And those yellow dots happen to be in the photo studio.
This is……
New age photo studio?
Meeting?
Come closer.
Found it wasn't.
The name of the photo studio is Lao Zhou.
Oh, the boss's surname should be Zhou.
As I got closer, I unexpectedly discovered that Zeng Guangyuan was actually there.
Haha, what a coincidence.
Zeng Guangyuan also looked strange when he saw Zhang Yong.
Of course he knew his identity. There was no secret in front of Zhang Yong.
However, Zhang Yong never leaked anything, so he felt relieved. Unexpectedly, he would meet Zhang Yong again during the impromptu meeting today.
"Boss Zeng." Zhang Yong greeted him with a normal expression, "What a coincidence."
"Mr. Commissioner." Zeng Guangyuan stood up and asked doubtfully, "What are you here for..."
"Show photos."
"Oh. Old Zhou, Old Zhou, are showing off their photos!"
"Okay, okay."
That old Zhou was old, wore reading glasses, and his movements were a little slow.
Zhang Yong handed him the film and repeatedly warned him.
"This is information captured by Japanese spies. There may be secrets in it. You must not ruin it."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Lao Zhou agreed and took the film into the darkroom inside.
Zhang Yong looked around and found that there was actually a phone. Hey, it was rare. There was actually a phone installed.
It seems that this photo studio should be a stronghold carefully arranged by the underground party. Phones are installed, obviously to facilitate contact. Otherwise, why would they be willing to spend so much money.
"Boss Zeng, how is business lately?" Zhang Yong turned to ask Zeng Guangyuan.
Since we are acquaintances, it is good to take the opportunity to talk.
By the way, let me reveal some information to the other party.
"Not so good." Zeng Guangyuan responded vaguely.
"By the way. Ask me if anyone wants tungsten sand." Zhang Yong got to the point.
"Tungsten sand?" Zeng Guangyuan and the other two looked at each other.
"Yes. I have three hundred tons of tungsten sand."
"Only foreigners want..."
"Then help me ask and introduce someone, one hundred oceans. Regardless of whether the deal is made or not, I will give you one hundred oceans."
"this……"
"Sir Commissioner, I seem to have heard that Boss Xu from Wanfeng Freight in Shanghai seems to be trying to find out who has tungsten sand..."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong pretended to be surprised.
In fact, what he wanted to catch was Xu Sheng, a good guy.
Previously, he pretended to be the Japanese Navy's Red Deer and threatened Xu Sheng to buy tungsten sand just to get him to come to him.
As a result, after so many days, Xu Sheng remained silent.
It seems that he has information about tungsten sand, but Xu Sheng doesn't know it yet. Or he knows it, but he doesn't dare to come to him directly.
Okay, if that's the case, let's reverse the situation and let the underground party get some oil and water.
"Okay. Boss Zeng, please help me contact Boss Xu to see if he wants tungsten sand. The price is negotiable. It only costs 400 oceans per ton."
"Four hundred oceans..."
"Yes. If you talk to Boss Xu, no matter how much the price is, if it exceeds four hundred oceans, you will make the profit."
"All right……"
Zeng Guangyuan agreed.
Just as Zhang Yong was about to speak, Lao Zhou came out.
He looked a little strange.
"What's the matter?"
"Commissioner, that film..."
"broken?"
"No."
"What's going on?"
"It seems to involve military secrets..."
"I gonna go see!"
Zhang Yong's heart moved and he hurriedly entered the darkroom.
Military secrets...
Japanese spy...
Looking at the photo of the rope still dripping with water, Zhang Yong squinted his eyes and observed carefully.
Vaguely, I seemed to see the words "Songhu Operation Strategy" on it. My mind went blank for a moment. Then I thought of the theft of confidential documents from the Presidential Palace.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
God feeds me again?
The film seized in advance was actually a stolen confidential document?
However, the place where the Japanese spies were captured was in Shanghai! Not in Jinling. Could it be said that the Japanese invaders brought confidential documents to Shanghai so quickly?
No. It might not be a document. Instead, I quickly took photos and sent them to Shanghai.
Because time was tight, the spy didn't have time to develop the photos, so he just took the film with him.
This should be……
So, here comes the question, where are the confidential documents?
Probably destroyed.
Or it's hidden.
but!
None of this matters.
Even the film doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if the content is leaked.
The important thing is...
Gotta catch that traitor!
You can be sure that the traitor is definitely not Lu Shouchang!
It is impossible to kill such an important traitor like this. It is not worth it.
Come out of the darkroom. Pick up the phone.
He wanted to call back to Shanghai Station and ask about the Japanese spy.
etc……
What was the name of the captured spy?
What's the matter?
Damn it. I didn’t ask carefully at the time.
I thought I could just leave it to Shanghai Station. It had nothing to do with me, so I didn’t care.
Unexpectedly, the film this guy was carrying turned out to be documents stolen from the confidential room. So, if we work backwards, maybe we can find the traitor?
This is the theory...
Call back to Shanghai Station and ask Chen Gongshu directly. He must be in charge of interrogating Japanese spies.
"Deputy Station Chief Chen, it's me, Zhang Yong."
"What's up?"
"Is that spy still there?"
"Yes."
"Okay. Be careful not to let him die. I may have information that needs to be interrogated."
"It's useless. He's already been tortured. He didn't say anything. This guy still wants to die. We don't even dare to let go of the rag in his mouth."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong frowned.
Is that spy so tough?
Even Chen Gongshu can't do anything? Then he must not be able to do it either!
