Wu Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I entered the alley pretending I wanted to rent a house, so I asked some streetwalkers there. There was a person in the fourth house at the entrance of their alley who wanted to rent a house. There was no one there at the time.
I met the landlord, but I took a look at the house outside. It was bigger than the one Jiang Cheng rented as Xiao Chu said, and it had two rooms.
He took his sister and niece to live together, so logically this house is the most suitable, but he didn't ask for this house at that time, but instead asked for the small house inside, which is unreasonable."
"Brother Six, do you mean that when Jiang Cheng rented a house, the house you were looking at was also for rent?" Li Chu asked.
Wu Xiaoliu nodded: "Yes, the person who took me to see the house said that these two rooms have been empty for a year and have not been rented out.
Jiang Cheng wanted to rent a house at that time, so he must have asked someone in this way, so he would definitely know that there are two vacant rooms here."
"What if when he inquired about it at the time, no one told him that the houses in that area were also available for rent?"
"What you said makes sense, but I also asked several people, and they all know that there are vacant rooms for rent there. It's impossible that the person Jiang Cheng asked about just doesn't know about it."
Zhang Meng also nodded and said, "Well, I also tend to think that Xiao Liu said that he did it on purpose."
Wu Xiaoliu continued: "It was around seven o'clock in the evening when I was there, and I was planning to leave. Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng came out again, so I followed him again.
He was looking for someone this time. They should have contacted each other in advance and met on the roadside. If I read correctly, the person he met was the person who followed you, Xiaochu, last night."
As he spoke, Wu Xiaoliu pointed to his wrist: "When the man raised his left hand, I saw there was gauze wrapped inside.
There is another thing that you least expect."
"What's going on?" Li Chu and Zhang Meng asked in unison.
"When I was following Jiang Cheng, I found that someone else was following him."
"Is there anyone else following him?" Li Chu cried out.
Zhang Meng looked at Wu Xiaoliu with interest, waiting for him to continue. He felt that this matter was getting more and more interesting now.
"Yes, when Jiang Cheng came home from get off work, no one else was following him anymore. This person followed him when he went out at night.
Fortunately, I followed him relatively far away, otherwise I would have been discovered by him."
"Brother Six, have you seen clearly what that person looks like?"
"Jiang Cheng went out to meet that person at night and seemed to have given him money again. The two of them separated not long after meeting.
Then Jiang Cheng went home directly. The reason why I came back so late was because I followed the person who followed Jiang Cheng. That guy lived in the Family Courtyard of the Chengxi Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but I felt like he had been trained."
"Training? Xiao Liu, what kind of training are you referring to?"
"I can't tell clearly, but based on his walking and the deliberate detours he took when he went home, I always felt that he had received training in this area, but he didn't learn it well."
After listening to what Wu Xiaoliu said, Li Chu and Zhang Meng looked at each other. What kind of situation is this? Why is there a person who appears to have been trained?
"Brother Six, could this person be from Jiang Cheng's company?"
Wu Xiaoliu thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I can't say for sure, but I think it's not the case. Why do the people in their unit take such actions to prevent being followed on the way home?
"
"By the way, Xiao Liu, where did the person who followed Xiao Chu last night go?"
"That guy is easy to find. I can tell at a glance that he has three hands."
"Then just ignore him, as long as he has a heel, it's easy to find. The key now is, Jiang Cheng finds a thief to follow Xiao Chu. What does he want to do?
Also, who is the person who followed Jiang Cheng later?"
Li Chu seemed to have thought of something: "Could the person following Jiang Cheng be a spy?"
Zhang Meng interrupted Li Chu's speculation: "Okay, Xiao Chu, let's stop guessing. Now that it's been found out, the person following you was ordered by Jiang Cheng, and the person who threw it into the courtyard today may be poisonous."
Baozi, it can be said with certainty that he has ill intentions towards you. You should report it to the chief tomorrow and see how to deal with it in the future.
As for the guy who followed Jiang Cheng, you should also report it."
Li Chu nodded slowly. He was still a little confused as to why Jiang Cheng did this to him. The answer might only be known after the truth comes out.
"Brother Six, you have worked hard these past two days, what else do you want to eat? Can I get you a bowl of noodles?" It's not the time to think about that now, let's talk about it tomorrow.
Wu Xiaoliu leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "We are all brothers. You're welcome. I ate out in the afternoon."
"In this case, let's all go to bed early. I guess nothing will happen tonight. Xiao Chu, please arrange a room for me as well."
"No problem, there are plenty of rooms. I will let my two brothers work on my affairs for a long time today. During the break this week, they will all come to my house and I will prepare some good food for us."
Wu Xiaoliu glanced at Li Chu with disgust: "Come on, you don't drink. It's too boring to eat with you."
"Just call my brother-in-law and ask him to drink with you. The good wine will take care of you."
"If there's good wine, I won't refuse. Brother Meng will come with you when the time comes."
Zhang Meng smiled helplessly, he was just a drunkard after all.
After Zhang Meng had made the bed in the east wing, it was already past twelve o'clock, so the three of them didn't waste any more time and went to rest in a room each.
Li Chu was not in a hurry to go to bed. He sat in the study, took out a pen and paper and wrote down everything Wu Xiaoliu just said.
He always felt that this place was full of weirdness. Why did another person follow Jiang Cheng appear?
Although he has not received any special training, after all, his parents have done this before and have heard a lot about it, so he can still make a preliminary analysis.
What man doesn't want to be a hero? If he can really follow the clues and catch a spy organization, then he can live the addiction of an unknown hero.
Then I thought about my lovely wife and a pair of children. Forget it, let's leave professional matters to professionals, so as not to cause trouble to others.
If something went wrong, I would be in tears.
But why did Jiang Cheng, a childhood friend he hadn't seen for more than ten years, do such a thing after seeing him? Li Chu's heart was really filled with mixed feelings.
He thought about Jiang Li again. What role did she play in this? Did she know about Jiang Cheng's actions?
Li Chu's head was pounding with thought. He raised his hands and rubbed his face fiercely a few times. He stood up and walked to the bedroom. He spent another night without his wife's arms and missed her.
