"Brother Fan, we have a clue." Hao Zai found Cheng Qianfan excitedly.
"Sit down and talk, don't be hasty, speak slowly." Cheng Qianfan was practicing calligraphy. He raised his eyes and looked at Hao Zai and said calmly.
"About half a month ago, there was a large ship that transferred from Citi to Hong Kong to Shanghai." Hao Zai said, "Someone saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses on the ship. He was polite and polite."
"What else?" Cheng Qianfan put down his brush and asked.
What can make Hao Zai so excited must be more than just these superficial information.
"This man is alone and stays in the cabin all day long." Hao Zai said, "People in the same cabin think this man is a bit weird, so they have a deep impression on him."
"What's weird?" Cheng Qianfan blew on the ink and asked.
"I don't understand that person very well. I just saw this person writing non-stop on white paper all day long. He would fill up one paper and then change it to another. It was all numbers and foreign codes." Hao Tsai said.
Cheng Qianfan put down the 'calligraphy work' in his hand and his expression finally became serious.
According to the information obtained by Hao Zai, this 'weird man' does indeed fit some of Ren Anning's characteristics.
"Are the sources of intelligence reliable?" he asked.
"There should be no problem." Hao Zai thought about it carefully and said, "Following your instructions, Brother Fan, we focused on investigating the ships that came to Shanghai from overseas in the past month. This clue has gone through preliminary screening and verification."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "The person who provided the clues was a manager of a foreign bank in Nanshi. When he was drinking with his friends, he mentioned that he shouldn't become a nerd by studying, and casually mentioned that he was in the same cabin.
"
"Which ship?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Taikoo Ship." Hao Zai said.
"In the name of the patrol room investigating the case, go and meet the manager of the foreign bank in person." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, "Find out which cabin and berth he is in, and it is best to get his ticket at that time."
"Then, you go to see the people from Taikoo Shipbuilding in my name." Cheng Qianfan said, "See if you can find out anything about that person."
"Yes." Hao Zai nodded. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fan, I suspect someone is watching us. If we really want to find out..."
"Listen to my orders." Cheng Qianfan gave Hao Zai a deep look.
"Understood."
After Hao Zai left, Cheng Qianfan picked up the tea cup on the table, drank half a cup of hot tea in one breath, and sighed happily:
The other party finally let out the news, so of course he had to cooperate well.
Cheng Qianfan had a rather strange feeling about his opponent this time.
First of all, he had a feeling that this person had a big appetite.
And such people usually have one characteristic, that is, they are quite conceited and think that everything will be under their control.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan has an intuition that is difficult to describe in words. This person is not only conceited, but also enjoys playing tricks. He is an opponent who is good at using tricks.
This can be seen from the fact that the other party may have already controlled Ren Anning, but has been holding back.
Then, Cheng Qianfan became very curious.
This person is not Sanbonjiro, but he can get the support and cooperation of Sanbonjiro.
Who could this person be?
…
On this day, Cao Yu, who had just been discharged from the hospital, went to a church on Jupolai Road.
This is a relatively remote church.
The church is not big, and there is also a small public collection room where priests, nuns and believers who once worked in the church are buried.
It's a rainy day.
Cao Yu held a black umbrella. He came to the cemetery and stopped in front of a tombstone. The photo on the tombstone was of an old man.
He put down the flowers in his hand and muttered to himself for a while before leaving.
A few minutes later, two men appeared in front of the tombstone.
One of them picked up the bouquet of flowers that had been wet by the rain, checked it carefully, and put it back after confirming that there was nothing abnormal.
Another person hung a camera around his neck and took several photos of the tombstone.
Then, the two figures disappeared into the fine mist and rain.
Cao Yu was sitting on a rickshaw. The rain fell on the shed of the rickshaw and on the thin clothes of the driver who was running hard.
Cao Yu lit a cigarette with an expressionless expression and took a puff.
He knew that he was being emotional and that he shouldn't be in this place.
However, he still couldn't hold it back.
Today is the tenth anniversary of the death of his fiancée. In the past ten years, he has never visited her because of his secret work.
Just because this year is the tenth anniversary, he really couldn't hold it back.
However, while pretending to pray in the church, he alertly noticed the stranger.
There is a circle of water stains on the ground at the entrance of the church, which was caused when the umbrellas were shaken off.
However, there were no watery footprints in the church.
This means that you don’t come to church to pray.
So, how likely is it that a traveler holding an umbrella will appear in this secluded church?
He didn't know if he was being followed.
Maybe he's just too worried.
However, Cao Yu did not dare to gamble.
He did not go to the tombstone where the believer's hidden identity was buried, but went directly to the burial place of an old priest.
This is an old believer in this church. Cao Yu has never met this person. However, he has made a special investigation and learned about the situation of all the burials in this small cemetery, including the cemetery of his fiancée with a false identity.
And he was even more familiar with the old pastor's life story.
This is a kind-hearted old man who is charitable and helpful. He has helped many people and knows many people.
As a young man who once studied in Shanghai, I was fortunate to have been favored by this old gentleman. This is reasonable.
…
"Zhan Zongyi." Su Chende looked at the newly developed photo in his hand, thoughtfully.
In the photo, you can clearly see the name, life story, and epitaph of the owner of the tombstone.
"Mr. Su, we have sent people to investigate clearly." Dong Zhengguo said, "Mr. Zhan Zongyi is also a well-known person on Jupolai Road."
"This man is a religious man, and his family has quite a lot of assets. He usually helps the village and donates money for education. He is respected by the local people." He also has a similar photo in his hand. "As for why Team Leader Cao went to pay homage to Zhan Zongyi
, I don’t know about this for now.”
"Is this Zhan Zongyi okay?" Su Chende asked with a frown.
"There should be no problem." Dong Zhengguo thought for a while and added, "Judging from the preliminary investigation we have now, there should be no problem with this old gentleman."
He rubbed his chin and continued, "This old gentleman has never been out of Shanghai in his life, and has never participated in Zheng Zhi. He is an old man who has always done good deeds at home. I have never heard of any extraordinary behavior by this person.
.”
Dong Zhengguo looked at Su Chende, curious in his heart.
He didn't understand why Su Chende suddenly sent someone to follow Cao Yu.
In the hospital that day, Su Chende talked with Cao Yu and arranged for Cao Yu to continue to stay in the Shanghai headquarters. Cao Yu was hesitant at first. He expressed his willingness to accompany Chief Su to Nanjing. However, in the end, Cao Yu was accepted by Su.
Chen De persuaded him and expressed his willingness to obey the order and stay in Shanghai.
Then two days after returning from the hospital, Su Chende suddenly found him and asked him to send someone to follow Cao Yu.
Dong Zhengguo naturally obeyed the orders of his superiors, but the doubts in his heart always lingered.
However, if Su Chende didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.
"Aren't you curious?" Su Chende suddenly asked.
"Mr. Su, does he suspect that there is something wrong with Team Leader Cao?" Su Chende took the initiative to mention it, and Dong Zhengguo asked.
"I don't know." Su Chende said.
Dong Zhengguo looked surprised, and the answer "I don't know" showed that Chief Su was suspicious of Cao Yu.
If Su Chende thinks there is nothing wrong with Cao Yu, then it means 'no problem'. 'I don't know' means there may be a problem or there may be no problem. This needs to be investigated for screening.
"Keep staring." Su Chende said calmly.
"clear."
…
After Dong Zhengguo left, Su Chende opened a bottle of red wine, poured himself a glass of wine, and fell into thought.
He really didn't know if there was something wrong with Cao Yu.
Maybe there is a problem, maybe there is no problem.
It takes investigation to know whether this person is innocent.
However, there is one person who has a problem, and he is basically certain now.
That was the garbage man he noticed at the hospital.
The garbage man himself did not arouse his suspicion. The man's behavior at that time was indeed what a garbage man should be. Even the way the man picked up the crumbs from the ground and ate them, he looked like a man who cherished his food.
The look of a poor garbage man.
Suspicion about the garbage man only arose the day after he returned from the hospital.
After Cao Yu was discharged from the hospital, the General Affairs Department of the Secret Service Headquarters had to reimburse Cao Yu's medical expenses and hospitalization expenses.
Su Chende had tea and chatted with Yan Qicheng, deputy section chief of the General Affairs Department, when a staff member brought the reimbursement form and asked Yan Qicheng to sign it. After taking a look at it, Yan Qicheng clicked his tongue and joked, "This Qimin Hospital is really affordable."
'.
From Yan Qicheng's mouth, Su Chende learned that the medical and hospitalization fees at Qimin Hospital are generally lower than those at other hospitals. This is why the Secret Service headquarters now chooses to send injured subordinates and prisoners in need of treatment to Qimin Hospital.
s reason.
And Yan Qicheng said something casually:
Qimin Hospital is always good at showing off, and the hospital even provides free egg drop soup to Lingong.
Of course, Yan Qicheng said disdainfully that the egg drop soup was just fake. A large bucket of soup might only contain two eggs, so it was almost a clear soup with little water.
Su Chende didn't want to care whether Qimin Hospital was just trying to gain fame, but what Yan Qicheng said aroused Su Chende's interest.
Even if there is no egg drop in the soup, it is watery. However, even if it is such a watery egg drop soup, it still contains salt and may even be steaming.
In this cold winter, for those hard-working workers, it would be a blessing to have a few mouthfuls of hot soup while eating pancakes.
Su Chende was born in the Red Party, organized the labor movement, and had contact with the poor. It was difficult for him to understand the difficulties of the poor.
The temptation of this warm egg drop soup is simply irresistible to a garbage temporary worker.
That garbage man just sat in a corner by the roadside, gnawing dryly on pancakes, and didn't even grab a few sips of the hot egg drop soup. This is unreasonable!
And considering that the garbage man even picked up the cake scraps that fell on the ground and mixed them with dust and ate them, would such a person not grab the free hot soup?
This is simply impossible!
Subsequently, Su Chende sent people to Qimin Hospital to investigate the "egg drop soup" incident.
The feedback from the survey results came back. It is true that Qimin Hospital provides free egg drop soup, and it is true that the soup is clear and watery. However, it does one thing well:
I don't mind adding a few more grains of salt, and the soup is still quite warm.
It tastes salty and warm.
Su Chende immediately concluded that there was probably something wrong with the garbage man.
He then sent agents to Qimin Hospital to investigate secretly, and learned that the garbage man had not gone to work for two days since then.
In this way, Su Chende determined that there was something wrong with this garbage worker!
Then, following Su Chende's order, the secret service headquarters launched a secret investigation into the garbage worker's situation.
The investigation results showed that this garbage worker had not been working at Qimin Hospital for a long time.
This survey result is exciting for Su Chende.
This garbage man's appearance at Qimin Hospital in a short period of time must be for a certain purpose.
There is a lot going on here.
Then, the start and end times of the garbage man's appearance at Qimin Hospital attracted Su Chende's attention.
This garbage worker first appeared at Qimin Hospital. This was Cao Yu's third day in the hospital due to his injury.
The last time this person took a job at Qimin Hospital was the day he last went to Qimin Hospital to visit Cao Yu, and this was also the day before Cao Yu was discharged.
Although this does not seem to prove that Cao Yu, the action team leader of the special agent headquarters, has any involvement with this suspicious person, Su Chende's professional habits still make him dare not be careless:
The first thing he noticed at that time was that the garbage man was not eating cakes.
At that time, he noticed Cao Yu's gaze, and then followed Cao Yu's gaze. Among the many patients and family members, he also saw the back of the garbage worker.
Although this does not seem to mean that Cao Yu was looking at the garbage worker at that time.
There seems to be no evidence for these two symptoms, and Su Chende will not simply let them go:
Under the precondition that there is a problem with the garbage man, anyone and anything that may be involved with this person must be secretly investigated.
Everything is subject to the results of the investigation.
However, judging from the follow-up investigation of Cao Yu in the past few days, this team leader Cao did not behave abnormally.
The only abnormal behavior was that Cao Yu went to the church and cemetery on Juppolai Road today. However, there seemed to be nothing suspicious about the old Mr. Zhan Zongyi whom Cao Yu went to pay homage to.
So, does this old subordinate of mine, Team Leader Cao, have any problems?
Su Chende fell into deep thought.
Suddenly his heart skipped a beat:
Strictly speaking, the 'little Taoist priest' was lost in Cao Yu's hands!
…
Julaida Road.
Lei Zhiming put down the pencil in his hand. In his hand was the telegram he had just translated.
A telegram from the Eighth Office of Guilin, personally signed by Comrade ‘Farmer’.
Comrade "Farmer" did not give any reply to Comrade "Second Cousin"'s request to sanction the traitor Cheng Qianfan.
In the telegram, Comrade ‘Farmer’ asked Comrade ‘Red-crowned Crane’ to forward a secret message to Comrade ‘Second Cousin’.
Lei Zhiming stared at this secret message, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he could see through it like this, wouldn't Comrade 'Farmer' be in vain?
