"Brother Zuo, are you feeling uncomfortable?" He Yijun asked with concern as he watched Zuo Zhong suddenly stop moving while eating sweet potatoes.
Zuo Zhong stuffed the sweet potato into his mouth and waved his hand: "It's okay, I just thought about something clearly."
It turns out that your words showed that Jin Renjiu was surprised. Zuo Zhong had already thought of this, but what he didn't understand was why he was surprised. There were too many reasons for him to say this.
Maybe it was the caller's identity, maybe it was the caller's behavior, etc. These few words tortured Zuo Zhong for two days.
But Tongsuo's sentence just reminded him, combined with Jin Renjiu's second sentence - see you in the same place, it shows that the caller and he often met in Jiaxing before, but why didn't they meet again later?
Is it possible that the other party has left here, at least for a period of time, and was not in Jiaxing? When Jin Renjiu learned that the other party was back, he was very surprised and said that.
The other party may have returned to Jiaxing again to exchange information with him. Could it be that someone in Jin Renjiu's network was a Japanese spy? Or was he later recruited by the Japanese?
Zuo Zhong called the police chief, and asked him as soon as they met: "It's been so many days since the crime happened. Is there any result in the investigation of Jin Renjiu's network?"
The director wiped his sweat and said awkwardly: "We have investigated it, but this is the responsibility of Chief Yu and others. As far as I know, no problems have been found."
This is not surprising. Many of the Jin family's previous relationships were in Shanghai. The Jiaxing Police Station was unable to investigate and collect evidence, but the East China District was much more convenient. Even the concession patrol room could talk to them.
Zuo Zhong knocked on the table: "Don't ramble. I'm talking about the deceased's network in Jiaxing, such as his classmates, friends, and acquaintances."
The director thought for a while: "Jin Renjiu has several classmates in Jiaxing. These people either have no time to commit the crime or have gone to other places. Chief Zuo, do you think the murderer is among these people?"
Zuo Zhong did not answer his question: "Give me the information of these people, especially those who have been to other places. There must be photos in the information. Don't let others know. Do you understand?"
If the other party has been lurking in Jiaxing for a long time, she must have certain connections. It is unclear whether there are people from her in the police station. If the director had not had a clean background, Zuo Zhong would not have approached him to ask this question.
The director nodded and bowed: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go get the information immediately."
After saying that, he bent over and retreated, and the sound of running quickly sounded in the corridor.
"Did you discover anything?" Ling Sanping on the side actually took the initiative to ask about the case.
Zuo Zhong gave him a strange look: "Yes, but why are you asking? If I hadn't known that you hadn't left Jinling during that time, I would have suspected that you were the murderer of Jin Renjiu."
Ling Sanping rolled his eyes: "I am also a member of the Intelligence Department after all. Isn't it right to ask about the case?"
Zuo Zhong whistled and said mockingly: "That's why it's strange. In the past, you were always late for meetings or left early, and you were the quietest person when analyzing cases. Today, the sun comes out from the west, and you actually took the initiative to speak."
However, He Yijun knew that Zuo Zhong's willingness to joke meant that they were not far from the murderer.
Not long after, the sound of running sounded again in the corridor. The police chief came back angrily with a pile of information and handed it to Zuo Zhong with both hands raised.
Zuo Zhong opened it and looked at it casually, and asked: "You just said that there are two reasons for excluding them. One is that they did not commit the crime, and the other is that they went to other places. Have you checked with someone?"
The police chief straightened his back: "Of course, all suspicious persons must be proved by more than two witnesses. Chief Yu also knows, sir, don't worry."
"Okay, you can go back. I will call you again if necessary. Remember to keep it confidential." Zuo Zhong sent the director away and focused on the information.
He looked at the confessions and signatures inside. The situation seemed normal, but these could be faked. If the person who met Jin Renjiu was a Japanese spy, most of the information would be meaningless.
Why is Zuo Zhong angry at Jin Andong? Because criminal cases and intelligence cases face different opponents. Jin Andong's concealment made the previous work of the police station and East China District basically in vain.
Tongsuo on the side didn't care about anything else and concentrated on poking the sweet potatoes with the tongs. The biggest one was almost ripe. The smell made his mouth water, but when he blinked, the sweet potatoes were gone!
He rubbed his eyes to make sure that the sweet potatoes were really gone, and then looked at Zuo Zhong who left gracefully. Anger arose in his heart, and hatred grew in his guts. Tongsuo roared angrily: "Thief! Give me back my sweet potatoes!"
Zuo Zhong smiled when he heard Tongsuo's screams. Young people should receive more education and let them know the dangers of society. Good things are only yours when you eat them. Just looking at them is useless.
He Yijun said helplessly: "Brother Zuo, why do you act like a child?"
I don't know if these two people are incompatible with each other. Every time they meet, something will happen. From the first meeting at the dock to when Tongsuo starts to act with them, nothing bad happens.
Zuo Zhong covered his hands with sweet potatoes and suddenly asked: "Do you really think so? That boy put the sweet potatoes closest to me and kept rolling them with tongs to make the fragrance overflow.
He roasted it for me on purpose. If I don't take it away, believe it or not, he will give you the sweet potato and pretend to be cute. This little guy is not simple. Don't be fooled by him. "
He Yijun was stunned for a moment, recalling that the scene just now was really like that. He didn't expect that a child as young as Tongsuo would have so many scheming thoughts.
Seeing her like this, Zuo Zhong put the warm sweet potato into her hand: "Don't think too much. How could Tongsuo have been in the world for so long without such a little bit of scheming and cleverness? I just took a fancy to this, so I sent him Keeping it with you will come in handy.”
In fact, there was something Zuo Zhong didn't say. Tongsuo exchanged his own life for his elder brother's life. This sounded very righteous, but Zuo Zhong learned from his elder brother's confession that he was not very good to Tongsuo, and even He also often beats him because he doesn't steal enough.
Is there really a gentleman who ignores past grudges and repays evil with kindness? Even if there is, it shouldn't be Tongsuo, an old man in the world. There is only one truth. Tongsuo uses this kind of action to set off his loyalty and naivety, and by the way, escapes from the sea of misery with the help of the Secret Service.
One is a gangster gang and the other is a state agency. Any fool knows how to choose, so when he forced himself, he readily agreed to join.
But he forgot one thing, that is, going too far is not enough. Zuo Zhong would like to think about what kind of person this little guy can become. This is the path Zuo Zhong chose for him. It depends on himself.
He Yijun seemed to have figured something out and asked: "Then where are we going now? Are we looking for the murderer?"
Zuo Zhong laughed dumbly: "How can it be so fast? Let's go find Deputy Section Chief Gu and see how the investigation is going."
As a section chief, he can't always sit at the back, otherwise his subordinates would have objections. Especially when he is out in the field in such a cold weather, it is a leader's duty to go and cheer everyone occasionally.
Gu Qi was easy to find. After driving Zuo Zhong's car in the city for a while, he saw the police and spies. They were questioning each house. Gu Qi and Yu Xingle were standing on the roadside stamping their feet.
Seeing Zuo Zhong coming, Gu Qi hurriedly greeted him: "Section Chief, why are you here? You haven't gained much yet."
Zuo Zhong got out of the car and looked around: "It's okay, brothers, please be patient. If this case is solved, everyone will be rewarded."
He found that the inspection was carried out very carefully. At least they didn't just take a photo and ask questions. Everyone in the store was checked and identified. This is the attitude you need in business.
Zuo Zhong smiled with satisfaction: "Lao Gu did a good job. I can rest assured that you are doing the work. Come on, you two will go shopping with me. I haven't been out in the field for a long time and my hands are a little itchy."
He said it easily, but Gu Qi and Yu Xingle suspected that something was not done well. They followed Zuo Zhong worriedly and walked into a restaurant specializing in Huxian.
Zuo Zhong did not ask questions directly after coming in, but looked around the hotel. In addition to the lobby, this restaurant also has four or five small private rooms. This is a common layout for restaurants in the Republic of China.
The boss had been standing aside since they came in. Hei Gouzi didn't know why he was crazy today, and he was questioning them door to door. These three people were more powerful, so they had to be dealt with carefully.
Zuo Chong turned to the boss and sat down: "You are the boss, come on, sit down, you're welcome."
This seems to be my shop. The boss cursed a few times and sat down obediently, just like a student in a school.
Zuo Zhong smiled when he saw this: "No need to be restrained, I just want to ask you if you have seen these two people?" After saying that, he took a photo of Jin Renjiu from Gu Qi and handed it over.
The boss held it in his hands, looked at it, and shook his head: "Sir, this gentleman is not a regular customer of our store."
Zuo Zhong was not depressed. He took back the photo and asked, "If a man and a woman met in private, where do you think they would go? For example, it was the days when the weather suddenly turned cold last month."
They and East China District are both outsiders. If they want to know the details of the local area, they not only rely on the police station, but also these businessmen who are familiar with the people's conditions.
When the boss heard what he said, he smiled obscenely: "In addition to restaurants like ours, bookstores are also possible. Many young people like to go there, and men and women are very chaotic."
Zuo Zhong was a little disappointed, as this was similar to what he had expected, but he still comforted his boss with a few words and stood up to leave.
This was when the boss said something else: "There is also the nunnery on the edge of Nanhu Lake. There, hehe, it is a pure land of Buddhism."
Zuo Zhong turned around suddenly, a nunnery? By the South Lake?
Gu Qi and Yu Xingle next to them also looked solemn. They really didn't know about this situation. What did the nunnery have to do with young men and women dating? Isn't that a place where incense is burned and worshiped.
Zuo Zhong sat back again: "Please ask the boss to explain it to us in detail. Don't worry, it will be kept confidential for you."
The boss was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "You can see for yourself and you will know. Remember to bring enough money, otherwise we may not be able to get in. After all, you are strangers and the other party may be suspicious."
Zuo Zhong heard what he meant. It was not surprising that these nunneries were unclean. There was such a story in Feng Menglong's "Holograms in Ancient and Modern Times" about a young man named Ruan Sanlang and a young man. An official lady named Yulan exchanged tokens privately and wanted to meet again for a date, but she was unable to deliver the news.
So, his friend found a nun in the nunnery and gave her some money to take care of the matter. The nun not only stretched the hair of the infatuated couple, but also arranged a complete set of services such as beds in the Zen room. Very considerate.
Zuo Zhong walked out of the restaurant with a sullen face and said to Gu Qi and Yu Xingle: "Let's go and have a look. I never expected that it would become a place where filth and evil gather. I thought it was just nonsense."
These two were also experienced drivers. Of course they knew what Zuo Zhong and his boss meant. They regretted why they didn't ask more in-depth questions and asked Zuo Zhong to find out for himself.
As he was talking, a car drove up quickly and stopped suddenly. Gui Youguang jumped out of the car and ran over a few steps, shouting in a low voice: "Section Chief, we found a clue. Someone once saw Jin Renjiu in the northwest of Nanhu! "
Zuo Zhong flicked his windbreaker: "Let's go to the witness site and see what secrets are hidden there."
