Chapter 592 Don’t be simple
At midnight that day, Qiao Chuntao appeared alone in a telephone booth on Notre Dame Road.
He took out a payphone dime from his body, put it in, and dialed a number.
The call was connected, and Qiao Chuntao only said one sentence before hanging up.
The night was as dark as ink, and it was raining.
The winding stone road stretches forward, with a faint light at the end.
There was the sound of footsteps, and Qiao Chuntao immediately became alert. His right hand reached into his arms, ready to draw a gun at any time.
"Sir, do you have any dimes with you? I'll exchange them with you." A young voice came, slightly urgently, "Grandma Ala is suffering from an emergency."
“Only two dimes.” Qiao Chuntao said.
Then he saw clearly who was coming. He was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in shorts and soaked by the rain. He smiled at Qiao Chuntao.
"Hello, you can call me A Yuan." The young man said with a smile. He stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face and added, "Yuan of silver dollars."
A Yuan glanced at the other person. He was wearing a peaked cap to cover his face. It was dark in the night and he could not see his face clearly. He only saw that the other person had a beard.
"Yang Yu." Qiao Chuntao said calmly. He took out a robe from his pocket and gently threw it over, "Count it."
A Yuan took the robe, weighed it, and put it directly in his pocket.
“Don’t count?” Qiao Chuntao asked.
"A life-threatening business." A Yuan looked at Qiao Chuntao and grinned, "I love money, but I cherish life even more."
Qiao Chuntao immediately thought highly of this person. This person was greedy for money, but could restrain his desire for money and was extremely cautious.
…
“Has the person you arrested today spoken?” Qiao Chuntao asked.
“After interrogating for a long time, I finally spoke.” A Yuan nodded.
“What did that person say?” Qiao Chuntao asked again.
“I told him everything, even his affair with the landlady,” A Yuan said.
“No problem?” Qiao Chuntao frowned.
"There are so many explanations, but there is no big doubt." A Yuan shook his head, and then showed a smile, "However, the officer is even more suspicious of him."
“What’s going on with the gun?” Qiao Chuntao asked.
“This man confessed that he bought the gun for self-defense, and he thought his enemies were coming to arrest him.”
“What did he say he did?”
“Cheating food and drink, cheating little girls and expensive wives to make a living.”
“Does your commander believe it?”
"Of course I don't believe it. The officer said he's not pretty enough on top, not majestic enough on the bottom, and doesn't have the capital." A Yuan took a cigarette handed over by Qiao Chuntao, put it behind his ear, but it immediately moistened it, and smiled awkwardly. .
…
"This man..." Qiao Chuntao originally wanted to ask this man if he had told him about his visit to the hospital, but he was cautious and rejected the question in time. "There is nothing suspicious about him? Except for the shooting. thing."
“I don’t know if it’s suspicious, but there’s something interesting.” A Yuan said.
“What’s the matter?” Qiao Chuntao asked.
“He thought we were robbers at first, and even encouraged us to rob the landlady’s house.”
“Didn’t he hook up with the landlady’s girl?” Qiao Chuntao asked.
"This man said that he spent all the money he had saved to perform eye surgery on the landlady. After the lady had double eyelids, she climbed up a high branch and refused to get along with him." A Yuan laughed and scolded He said, "Three pig heads."
Qiao Chuntao thought for a while and asked the last question, "Who does your commander think he is?"
“The chief may give him a Japanese name.” A Yuan said with a smile, “This answer is considered a gift, and the price will be increased next time.”
…
the next day.
morning.
General Manager Xiao Cheng visited Chunfeng Deyi Building in his jurisdiction to inspect the work, and received a warm welcome from the unit.
The owner of Chunfeng Deyilou specially invited Zhao Jiaban to perform a garden party.
Mr. Xiao Cheng praised the dining environment of Chunfeng Deyilou and affirmed the performance of the drama workers. After the meal, he cordially met with a drama worker from Zhaojiaban.
After listening to Qiao Chuntao's report on yesterday's meeting with the agent at Shanghai Station, Cheng Qianfan fell into deep thought.
“This Ayuan.” Cheng Qianfan asked, “Is it reliable?”
“There is no suspicion at the moment.” Qiao Chuntao said, “According to what Pan Laojiu said, this person has a tight mouth and is very particular about his work.”
Cheng Qianfan nodded.
“Sooner or later something will happen to Shanghai Station,” he said.
Qiao Chuntao also expressed his approval in his heart. Before and after the Songhu Battle last year, Shanghai Station had recruited a large number of new people. It can be said that the good and the bad were mixed. Some people did not have a firm will to resist the war and joined with a speculative mentality.
This A Yuan should be this kind of person.
…
“What do you think of Sun Zhijie’s confession?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
Sun Zhijie was the person arrested by Lu Xingge and his men, and he was also the person A Yuan said was being interrogated.
"It sounds messy and not credible." Qiao Chuntao said, "However, I feel that this is the most likely possibility."
Cheng Qianfan said nothing, he was thinking.
What Qiao Chuntao said was exactly what he analyzed and guessed in his mind.
This Sun Zhijie is one of the patients who once went to the police hospital for consultation with Dr. Mao.
The investigations of the rest of the people have made progress, including Chang Shenyi, who was heavily suspected by Cheng Qianfan.
This person himself has no connection with Japan, but his father, Chang Keren, once studied in Tokyo, Japan.
In addition, there is a rather strange point. According to insiders familiar with the Chang family, Chang Shenyi was Chang Keren's illegitimate son outside the home, and he was recognized home only when he was old.
Cheng Qianfan highly doubted Chang Shenyi’s true identity as a Japanese, pretending to be Chang Keren’s son.
This method is very similar to the Tongri treason case of the Wang brothers in Lu'an that he solved previously.
Six patients were under investigation, and three of them were initially ruled out as suspects.
Two people, including Chang Shenyi, are basically certain that there is something wrong.
There is another person, but the special situation team has never found any relevant information about this person.
This person is Sun Zhijie.
After analysis by Cheng Qianfan, Qiao Chuntao, Hao Zai and others, it is generally believed that this person is most likely the one who hides the deepest, and his identity may be unusual.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan called the temporary headquarters of the Secret Service in Wuhan for help and asked Dai Chunfeng to make overall arrangements and assist in investigating this person.
After all, the Shanghai Special Situation Group's manpower and capabilities are limited, and there is a far cry from the power Dai Virtuo can mobilize and control.
To be precise, it is to investigate the person’s background information from the side, and does not require direct contact or tracking of the person.
However, Qiao Chuntao's intelligence team soon discovered that another group of people was secretly following Sun Zhijie.
The answer is obvious-
After the Shanghai Station of the Secret Service received an order from the headquarters to assist in the investigation of Sun Zhijie, they did not follow the order from the headquarters to investigate the person from the side, but started directly.
This is to grab credit.
…
Qiao Chuntao reported the matter to Cheng Qianfan and suggested that the team leader immediately call Wuhan to stop Shanghai Station from taking rash actions.
Cheng Qianfan chose to wait and see.
Then there was the incident yesterday where the Lu Xingge Operation Group of the Shanghai Station Operation Brigade attacked Sun Zhijie, while Cheng Qianfan and Qiao Chuntao watched the battle secretly.
"Yesterday you asked me why I didn't stop it." Cheng Qianfan said to Qiao Chuntao, "I didn't think well about this matter. I didn't expect that Shanghai Station would be so unruly."
He sneered and said, "Sun Zhijie has entered the sight of Shanghai Station. Even if I ask the Virtue to stop him, with the behavior of Shanghai Station, even if he obeys the order openly, he will not stop in private. The consequences are irreversible. .”
“The most important thing is that this will bring great safety risks to our brothers who are also watching Sun Zhijie.” Cheng Qianfan said with a heavy expression.
Qiao Chuntao immediately understood what the team leader meant. He thought about it for a moment. If his men were discovered by the people at Shanghai Station, it would definitely be a major safety hazard.
“My subordinates just can’t understand why they are so anxious to attack Sun Zhijie,” Qiao Chuntao said.
“We’ve been checking for so long, but we can’t find anything. Naturally, they can’t find anything either. What are they going to do if they don’t do anything?” Cheng Qianfan said sarcastically.
Qiao Chuntao glanced at the team leader. Although Cheng Qianfan's tone was sarcastic, he was keenly aware of the abnormality in the team leader's tone.
It seems that the team leader is not as angry about Shanghai Station’s unauthorized actions and credit-stealing actions as he showed.
“Team leader, have you already judged that the Shanghai station will take the credit, so...” Qiao Chuntao asked directly.
“Absurd.” Cheng Qianfan glared at Qiao Chuntao and angrily said, “Don’t say anything like this again that affects unity.”
"Yes." Qiao Chuntao nodded, "I understand."
…
"We have been unable to find any relevant information about Sun Zhijie." Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, glared at Qiao Chuntao, and said, "So, the seemingly ridiculous confession obtained by the Shanghai Station during the interrogation of Sun Zhijie is actually On the contrary, it can explain all this.”
A liar who defrauds money and **** has no other background and is just a small person. There are too many such people in Shanghai. Who knows where they come from, or they come to Shanghai quietly from other places to make a living.
If it is a local gangster from Shanghai, it will be easier to investigate, but if it is someone from outside Shanghai, it will be impossible to investigate at all.
Because of this, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Team investigated Sun Zhijie, but this guy seemed to have jumped out of a rock and found nothing.
The senior management of the Special Intelligence Unit judged that this person was most likely an extremely covert and high-ranking member of the Japanese special forces, which was consistent with the characteristics of being unable to find much information.
However, there is another possibility, that is, he is just a little person with no background, trying to make ends meet.
"A Yuan said that his superiors didn't believe it." Qiao Chuntao said, "They said that Sun Zhijie is not beautiful above, not majestic below, and has insufficient capital."
“Mom, what a fool.” Cheng Qianfan smiled. There was a new northeastern girl in the patrol room’s clerk’s office. She was very aggressive. Mr. Cheng had been in contact with girls a lot, so it was inevitable that he would be affected.
“Taozi, please comment on that Ayuan.” He asked Qiao Chuntao.
“Put aside the evaluation of the goodness and evil of his behavior.” Qiao Chuntao thought, “This person is quite capable and very cautious.”
After thinking about it, he added, "This kind of person can live a long life."
"Don't be simple." Cheng Qianfan flicked the cigarette ashes and said with a smile. The sunlight came in through the cracks in the window and enveloped him. He exhaled a stream of smoke through his nose. Under the dual effects of sunlight and smoke, he The figure is also somewhat blurry.
…
Taojia Lane.
The landlady and her daughter Tao Cuifang stayed in the room with sad faces.
The two of them just sat there, neither eating nor drinking.
Tao Cuifang looked weak, as if she had lost her soul.
She finally cried again, Mom, you know, I like Ajie, we are getting engaged, I can't live without him.
Poor Ajie, who was so cruel as to kidnap him.
Then there was a burst of sobbing and crying.
The landlady sighed and said, "I know it's not that simple."
…
Back at the patrol room, Cheng Qianfan called Hao Zai and Lu Hu over.
“The shooting and kidnapping case in Taojia Lane.” He looked at Da Toulu and asked, “What is the situation of this case?”.
"Report, Vice President Cheng, the tenants of Tao Xu's house at No. 16 Taojia Lane were kidnapped by gangsters near the Karen Ballroom." Datou Lu saluted before answering respectfully.
"How did I hear that there was a gun battle?" Cheng Qianfan frowned, "The impact of this incident was so bad that Director Ferguson slammed the table."
“According to eyewitness testimony, the kidnapped person had a gun, and there was indeed a gunfight,” Datoulu said.
“What is the background of this tenant?” Cheng Qianfan leaned back on the chair and played with the repaired gold lighter in his hand.
"It's not clear yet. So far we have only found out that this person's name is Sun Zhijie." Datou Lu shook his head, "However, it is said that this Sun Zhijie has an ambiguous relationship with Tao Xu's daughter."
"Oh?" Cheng Qianfan immediately became interested, "Well, the impact of this case is bad. Liang Yuchun's side may not have enough manpower. You arrange for someone to go over and assist in the investigation. The focus is to question the Tao Xu family's daughter. I'm wondering if this matter has any Very deep inside story.”
Datou Lu glanced at Deputy Inspector Cheng. He felt that he had reason to suspect that his boss was interested in this case because he had heard related rosy rumors.
“Vice President Cheng, Hao Tsai just finished handling the case at hand, what do you think of arranging for Hao Tsai to go there?” Datou Lu said with a smile.
"While I'm not on the third patrol, you, the deputy inspector, will be in charge of this family. How you arrange your work is your business." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
"Yes, my subordinates must be very dedicated to their work. As the inspector, you will take good care of the third patrol!" Datou Lu said solemnly.
“What nonsense are you talking about, my third patrol?” Cheng Qianfan glared at Da Toulu, threw a box of cigarettes at him, and said, “Get out of here.”
Da Toulu took the cigarette case and left with a smile.
“You lazy boy.” Cheng Qianfan pointed in the direction of the office door and cursed.
…
After Datou Lu left, Cheng Qianfan threw a cigarette to Hao Zai.
“This Tao Cuifang is the only one among the patients who have consulted the doctor so far who can be basically confirmed to have nothing to do with spy activities.” Cheng Qianfan warned Haozi.
"So, you have to try your best to get some information about the doctor from this woman's mouth." Cheng Qianfan paused for a moment and continued.
“After our preliminary investigation, this girl is very obsessed with Sun Zhijie.”
“Let’s just say that Sun Zhijie was targeted by the kidnappers because the kidnappers saw that she had double eyelids and thought that Sun Zhijie was rich.” Cheng Qianfan said coldly.
“I understand.” Hao Zai nodded.
Cheng Qianfan looked serious and continued to warn, "The doctor uses an ophthalmologist as a cover. This should be a profession that he is quite proud of."
"When a doctor who is an agent comes into contact with a patient who is basically convinced that he is safe and has no other intentions, this is the time when he enjoys it the most. He may be able to let down some of his wariness." Cheng Qianfan stood up, walked around, and said while thinking .
“This is an excellent opportunity for us to get to know the doctor without alerting him.” He looked at Hao Zai with a serious expression.
“Understood!” Hao Zai nodded seriously.
