In fact, both Zhou Zheng and Zhang Jianghe encountered the same situation when they were in Nanjing. In order to conceal their identity as agents, many Japanese and puppet agents who lurked in Nanjing would use the method of seeking refuge with relatives to settle in Nanjing. . Then use other methods, either to transfer those fake relatives, or to create accidents to make the fake relatives die and disappear, and then achieve the purpose of protecting themselves and continuing to lurk.
After listening to Tang Cheng tell Zhou Shen's situation, Zhou Zheng and Zhang Jianghe immediately realized that something was wrong with Zhou Shen's situation. How could it be possible for a foreigner who came to visit relatives from afar to have all his relatives die unexpectedly in just one year? Zhang Jianghe never doubted Tang Cheng's ability, but Zhou Zheng did not understand Tang Cheng. After listening to Tang Cheng's narration, Zhou Zheng suddenly interrupted Tang Cheng. "Even if there is something wrong with this Zhou Shen, how can you be sure that he is related to the person we are tracing?"
Although Zhou Zheng suddenly interrupted Tang Cheng, his question did not seem abrupt, because Zhang Jianghe also had the same doubt in his heart. Tang Cheng, who was standing in front of the blackboard, didn't look ugly because Zhou Zheng interrupted him. Instead, he immediately gave an explanation. "Mr. Zhou's question is a very good one! As I said before, we conducted a large-scale investigation and re-investigation of the places where hummingbirds have appeared. This Zhou Shen was found in one of the places. .”
"According to the information provided by the military command headquarters, the Japanese spy code-named Hummingbird has not appeared in the city for a long time. So based on this, before I pursue the investigation, I first assume that the hummingbird has left Chongqing. In After the target loses trace, the place where the target once appeared will naturally become the focus of our tracing work." When Tang Cheng said this, the wooden stick in his hand also moved down slightly and clicked on another photo. .
"People who often go to the south of the city should recognize the content of this photo. This is the famous Sifang Pavilion of the Gold Selling Cave in the south of the city. People who come in and out of here are either rich people or powerful people. Among the confessions brought by Commander Zhou , I once mentioned a social butterfly named Ji Hong'er. It just so happened that this Ji Hong'er's name also appeared in a case handled by our search team last month, and this Ji Hong'er had already been arrested half a year ago. Recruited to work in Sifang Pavilion."
"A search like this is basically looking for a needle in a haystack. Whenever there is a chance, we should not let go of the investigation. So in order to confirm whether the Ji Hong'er in the Sifang Pavilion is actually the social butterfly Ji Hong'er mentioned in the confession, I Take people to the Sifang Pavilion." At this time, the wooden stick in Tang Cheng's hand had moved back to Zhou Shen's photo. "The results are surprising. The Ji Hong'er in the Sifang Pavilion is exactly the socialite Ji Hong'er mentioned in the confession, and this Zhou Shen happens to be one of the people who go to the Sifang Pavilion to look for Ji Hong'er the most."
Strictly speaking, Tang Cheng's answer did not satisfy Zhou Zheng, because Tang Cheng's answer did not directly explain why they would notice Zhou Shen. But Zhou Zheng had no way to prove that there was another reason why Tang Cheng locked Zhou Shen, because Tang Cheng had made it clear just now that they found and confirmed Zhou Shen through this woman named Ji Hong'er. And this Ji Hong'er happened to be the name that had appeared in the sealed confessions in the old archives of the headquarters.
The confusion faintly revealed in Zhou Zheng's expression did not escape Tang Cheng's eyes. After just grinning lightly, Tang Cheng continued. "We didn't immediately suspect Zhou Shen. The reason why we suspected him and targeted him was because after two rounds of investigations, Zhou Shen was the most suspicious. As I said just now, Sifang Pavilion is basically a gold sales cave. , Zhou Shen is just a bank employee who came to Chongqing to visit relatives, and his income cannot support his consumption in Sifangguan."
Tang Cheng would not tell others that he discovered and locked Zhou Shen through system skills. After studying Zhou Shen's entire situation, Tang Cheng chose Zhou Shen's income as a breakthrough point and used it as an excuse to prevaricate Zhang Jianghe and others. . Just like before, Zhou Zheng still vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he had no way to refute Tang Cheng's inference because he knew very well that as an employee of a commercial bank, Zhou Shen did not have the financial resources to frequently go to places like Sifang Pavilion.
"This is the case with Zhou Shen. Before further confirmation, I am not planning to arrest anyone. Instead, I have deployed personnel to secretly monitor and track Zhou Shen 24 hours a day, trying to find more new clues." As he spoke, Tang Cheng turned the blackboard hard. Under his push, the other side of the blackboard was also pasted with many photos and notes. Zhou Zheng, with his extraordinary eyes, recognized the person in one of the photos at a glance. .
"It seems that Commander Zhou is aware of the target we are targeting!" The surprise that suddenly appeared on Zhou Zheng's face was caught by Tang Cheng. Even if Zhang Jianghe was still here, Tang Cheng had no intention of giving Zhou Zheng any face. . "The man in the photo is named Zhou Changfu. He was expelled from the military headquarters six months ago for corruption and dereliction of duty. Now he is a section chief in the city government's logistics department. It is said that he has a very deep background!"
Zhang Jianghe also knew this man named Zhou Changfu, but Zhang Jianghe only looked at the photo and did not recognize Zhou Changfu. Zhou Zheng was different, because he had been staying at the Military Command Headquarters and was an acquaintance with Zhou Changfu, who was working as a logistics officer at the Military Command Headquarters at that time. Therefore, when he saw the photo, Zhou Zheng immediately recognized Zhou Changfu. "We noticed Zhou Changfu because of Ji Hong'er, and Zhou Changfu is also a frequent visitor to Sifang Pavilion."
Tang Cheng's reason for targeting Zhou Changfu made Zhou Zheng frown again, but this time, he did not interrupt Tang Cheng. "We don't care why Zhou Changfu was expelled from the military headquarters in the first place. What matters to us is that Zhou Changfu has become the powerful section chief of the city government's logistics department in less than half a year. This is very unusual. After Chongqing became the capital, Not only did a large number of people move south to Chongqing, but many factories also moved south, many of which settled in areas surrounding Chongqing."
"Zhou Changfu originally had no chance to come into contact with the factory's settlement in the south, but now he is the powerful logistics section chief of the city government. The city government sometimes mobilizes vehicle personnel to cooperate with the factory's settlement in accordance with military orders from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Zhou Changfu I happen to have the opportunity to be involved in specific work in this area. According to my inference, as long as the configuration of vehicles and personnel is mastered, it is completely possible to infer the location of the factory, such as the specific location of the factory and the specific production content of the factory. "
If the situations introduced by Tang Cheng before were still considered to be nonsense by Zhou Zheng, then now, a layer of cold sweat had broken out on Zhou Zheng's forehead. The situations Tang Cheng mentioned now made Zhou Zheng suddenly realize that he May be involved in a very unusual case. "To sum up, this Zhou Changfu is a key figure. If I were the person in power in the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies, I would definitely send someone to establish this Zhou Changfu. Because through Zhou Changfu, I can understand the settlement situation of almost all factories in Chongqing. This It can even include the placement of the arsenal.”
Unlike Zhou Zheng, who was shocked, Zhang Jianghe, who was also surprised, felt more proud in his heart, because Tang Cheng was his nephew. As a nephew, he was capable, and as an uncle, he would naturally have a bright face. Under Zhou Changfu's photo, there were also photos of other people. After Zhang Jianghe signaled, Tang Cheng introduced the people in these photos one by one. According to Tang Cheng's introduction, most of the people in these photos are people who are closely related to Zhou Changfu and have opportunities and channels to access confidential information.
"Chief Zhou is also engaged in intelligence work. Naturally, he knows that the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies send agents to lurk in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. Their best skills are instigating rebellion or buying some weak-willed people to act as their insiders. Zhou Changfu and these people are in a sensitive position , and have the opportunity to have access to secrets, so they are more likely than ordinary people to be regarded as targets for rebellion or bribery by Japanese spies. That Ji Hong'er from Sifang Pavilion is not simple. Among the people who have the most contact with this woman, Zhou Changfu, so we also locked in on him."
Like Zhou Shen before him, Zhou Zheng also felt that Tang Cheng's reason for targeting Zhou Changfu sounded a bit far-fetched, but he had no reason to refute it, because Tang Cheng's inference seemed to be full of loopholes, but there were clear clues pointing to it. The two targets of Tangcheng, Zhou Sheng and Zhou Changfu, were both frequent visitors to the Sifang Pavilion, and they both had close contact with the woman Ji Hong'er. More importantly, this Ji Hong'er had appeared in the archived confession of the military command headquarters. Pass.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but turn to look at Zhang Jianghe. The smug look on Zhang Jianghe's face made Zhou Zheng very envious. He also wanted to have a nephew as capable as Tang Cheng. Zhou Shen and Zhou Changfu had become the targets of the search team, but Tang Cheng's story did not mention anything about hummingbirds. Zhou Zheng was a little curious, but he was smart and did not take the initiative to ask.
Just as Zhou Zheng was filled with suspicion and waiting for Tang Cheng to continue his narrative, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and a member of the arrest team hurried in from the outside. Zhang Jianghe did not ask any questions, but just watched the team member whisper to Tang Cheng, and then saw a joyful expression on Tang Cheng's face. It seems something good is coming! According to Zhang Jianghe's understanding of Tang Cheng, everything he saw before him showed that what Tang Cheng heard should be good news.
Zhang Jianghe guessed well. What Tang Cheng heard at this moment was really good news. Just a few minutes ago, the team members Tang Cheng arranged to monitor Zhou Shen in the city found Zhou Shen coming out of the Sifang Pavilion in the south of the city. I secretly went to meet someone. The person Zhou Shen secretly met happened to be a suspicious target suspected by Tang Cheng. The emergence of the new target made what Tang Cheng was going to tell finally complete.
