Twenty-four hours later.
With a clear investigation target, the Secret Service fully mobilized all Jinling's informants and intelligence channels, and intelligence about Yang Changqing was continuously sent to Zuo Zhong in detail.
Every detail of a successful businessman's life and work was put under a magnifying glass, and more than a dozen intelligence analysts used their professional knowledge to look for suspicious clues from different angles.
Zuo Zhong stood behind his subordinates and stared at the documents on the table. In all intelligence organizations, there are staff engaged in intelligence quality control to screen the collected intelligence.
See whether the information is useful, whether more detailed materials are needed, whether it is valid, whether it is reliable, etc. In particular, it is difficult to determine the validity and reliability, and it is basically in a Schrödinger state.
He thought of something from this. If Yang Changqing really did intelligence support work, would he have such subordinates? Otherwise, the other party would have to send all the intelligence collected to his superiors.
It is not a wise choice to use the radio for a long time in Jinling. The Secret Service, Secret Service Headquarters, and the military will all detect and track abnormal radio signals. If you are not careful, the door will be blocked by agents.
Of course, this is still speculation.
Zuo Zhong put this matter to the back of his mind in the blink of an eye and picked up several pieces of information that had been processed and read them. Based on the investigation of Yang Changqing's surroundings, the agents discovered several strange places.
First, the origin of the other party's driver and bodyguard is unknown. He has not registered with the Jinling Police Station. No one knows his last name. He only knows the nickname Ada and rarely talks to others.
Second, compared to his hotel income, this person's bank deposits amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and he owned more than a dozen high-end properties. This did not take into account the anonymity and agency holding situation, and the income and expenditure did not match.
Third, the Xianle Western Restaurant is entirely supported by the gatherings of various agencies in Jinling. There may be interest transfers, or there may be people in these agencies who have the same interests as Yang Changqing.
Fourth, Yang Changqing has a wide circle of friends. In addition to having dinner at home, he meets with a group of various friends at noon every day. The place is his hotel, and the content of the conversation is varied.
His subordinates deliberately concealed their identity, opened a restaurant suspected of being a money grab, and colluded with officials and businessmen. These three suspicions alone can prove that the other party is not as harmless and friendly as he appears, and is hiding very deep.
After reading the information, Zuo Zhong felt that he had touched the tip of the iceberg of a mysterious organization. This organization would not be smaller in size than the East Asia Club, but it would be different in its operation methods.
From the fourth point, it can be seen that Yang Changqing's social network is not limited to the reorganization faction. As long as they are useful people, whether they are businessmen, officials, or ordinary people, he will make friends with everyone who comes.
A big shot above the temple.
Down to the three religions and nine streams in the world.
There is no one the other party does not know, such as the well-informed telegraph office employees, the postman who travels the streets all year round to deliver mail, the fish market owner who has been fishing for decades, and the technical workers of the electric power bureau.
As well as senior journalists, teachers with great talents all over the world, college students with flexible minds, craftsmen with ingenuity, fortune tellers who know Feng Shui and fortune telling, senior clerks in foreign companies, etc.
They are all in this person's circle of friends, and he treats everyone differently. Those who are willing to drink will be given wine, and those who like to dance and write will be given calligraphy and paintings.
It's easier for those who like to play with guns. He can get weapons produced by all countries in the world. Even if you don't accept anything and need help with certain things, Yang Changqing can handle it properly.
How many people can resist such a successful and prosperous person making friends with you, even becoming a corporal? It can be said that the other person's network has penetrated into every industry in Jinling.
The scope of public intelligence that Yang Changqing has access to is definitely comparable to that of a professional intelligence agency, covering all aspects of Jinling and even the Republic of China. Even the Secret Service cannot do this.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for such a person with such great hands and eyes to be famous, but a contradiction arises. These people seemed to have discussed it and did not mention a word about knowing Yang Changqing.
Had it not been for the notorious Secret Service coming forward this time and secretly contacting several people to inquire about the situation, I am afraid that this person would still be hidden among the millions of people in Jinling City and continue to keep a low profile.
According to their confession, the other party often said that people are afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong. They repeatedly told them not to tell anyone about themselves, so as not to provoke big shots and take advantage of others. Naturally, these people followed the good example.
Zuo Zhong's expression was a little serious. The more complicated the target's social relationships, the more troublesome the later investigation would be. Not to mention the people who asked for mercy, they would have to spend a lot of effort just to thoroughly investigate the relationship network.
It seems that we need to concentrate our forces.
After finding the Xianle Western Restaurant, Song Minghao can stop investigating the overlap of the deceased officials' networks. Just leave a few people in the archives of the Central Hospital to guard it, and the remaining people will support here.
There was also a few digitalis potions found which were enough as evidence. There was no need to find them all. Gui Youguang could also bring them back, so the manpower was almost there. Zuo Zhong made a decision quickly.
He walked aside and picked up the phone and asked someone to call these two guys back. As for Shen Dongxin, he went to cooperate with Wu Chunyang. The anomalous personnel in various agencies in Jinling were worthy of investigation.
If you want your crops to grow well,
Weeds must be removed regularly.
Anyway, there are many idle people in the government.
After hanging up the phone, Zuo Zhong continued to analyze the second difference between Yang Changqing and Liang Yuandong, the head of the East Asia Club, that is, he knew the rules and never asked for information about the National Government.
Sometimes when someone inadvertently mentions sensitive information, the other person will interrupt the interaction. This makes those who work in military and political agencies very satisfied and feel that this is a trustworthy friend.
Zuo Zhong scoffed at this. These people were experts when it came to eating, drinking, gambling, cheating, and abduction. When it came to how to tell whether a message had intelligence value, they were even worse than the cooks of the Secret Service.
But I have to admit that Yang Changqing's behavior is very confusing. If it hadn't been found that the 15 officials had visited the Xianle Western Restaurant before their deaths, who would have suspected that an uncurious person was a spy.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Jingzhong quickly walked in and reported: "Deputy Director, the Hebei Provincial Guild Hall you asked me to check has yielded results. The person who issued the guarantee letter for the target in the 14th year of the Republic of China has returned to North China.
This person had the experience of studying in Japan in his early years. After graduation, he sold Japanese goods in Tianjin. Then he came to the Hebei Provincial Hall in Jinling through unknown routes and was responsible for liaising with people from Hebei Province who came to Nanjing from other places.
After asking the Peking Station, I learned that the other party has been very close to the Japanese in the past two years, and has also held a position in that bullshit autonomous government. He usually talks about Japan. "
"Humph, another traitor."
Zuo Zhong snorted and cursed, if he guessed correctly, the purpose of this person coming to Jinling was to testify to Japanese intelligence personnel or eliminate other interference, so that Japanese spies could lurk smoothly.
After speaking, he asked again: "Can you find out who he has issued guarantee letters for, and whether any suspicious points have been found in Yang Changqing's hotels and employees, excluding the driver named Ada.
"Not yet, Deputy Director. Because we can't have direct contact, there is not much progress in investigating the hotel and its employees. I will notify you immediately as soon as there is news over there, but can you send me more people?"
Wu Jingzhong made the request and said sternly: "The Ji Provincial Guild Hall is a semi-official organization, and the recording of written materials is not very strict. I asked someone to go in and look at it, and the records from that year were already incomplete.
It cannot be ruled out that the other party destroyed or took away the list when they left. If you want to know the specific situation, you must ask the other party. I suggest that Chief Chen of Peking Station send someone to arrest this traitor directly. "
Zuo Zhong shook his head: "Manpower is easy to deal with. I'll ask Song Minghao to help you. The basic investigation must be completed as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, we will make large-scale arrests and control all Yang Changqing's employees.
The death of Lu Yongqi is like a stone breaking the calm surface of a lake. The longer the time, the bigger the ripples will be. We cannot wait for the leader to get angry before going to the battlefield to sharpen his guns.
It's just the opposite in North China. It is now a dangerous goods warehouse that can be detonated by a small flame. The traitor who issued the guarantee cannot be arrested, at least until the case is investigated. "
Wu Jingzhong was a man who understood politics and immediately stopped mentioning the matter. After reporting some details clearly, he left. Zuo Zhong looked at the door of his room and smiled. Talking to smart people is easy.
Lao Wu is a good person.
sensible.
A few hours later, Song Minghao and Gui Youguang came back in a hurry after receiving the call. The old fritter Old Song was sent away, leaving only the bald man to accompany him to check the analyzed intelligence.
In the next two or three days, good news from all aspects continued. Wu Chunyang used the intelligence reported by Wu Jingzhong to identify many suspicious persons among the people who had dinner with the deceased official.
It's just that these people don't work in important agencies or key departments. Even if their official positions are a little higher than those of the deceased officials, they are still marginalized figures and have little chance of accessing secrets.
At the same time, they have all had abnormal behaviors recently, but the degree is mild or severe, which proves Wu Chunyang's conjecture that the murderer killed so many officials to intimidate these people.
In addition, Gu Qi confirmed by asking Lu Yongxuan's friends that he had been uneasy for a period of time and often invited his old military friends to go out to relax, especially after he was responsible for the assassination of Shi Jiaxiu.
But suddenly one day, the other person seemed to have been reborn. The negative emotions in the past were wiped away, and the smile returned to his face. He also made an appointment to go to the mountains of Hui Province to escape the heat this summer.
In this way, as countless investigative intelligence slowly gathered, the images of Yang Changqing, Su Zifu, Lu Yongqi and others were outlined more and more clearly in Zuo Zhong's mind, and gradually became fuller.
Then two questions arose.
Yang Changqing went against the principle of keeping a low profile and not exposing himself and threatened a group of useless officials. What was his purpose?
Why was Lu Yong Ai worried and why was he relieved? Did this have anything to do with Su Zifu's death?
Just as Zuo Zhong was frowning and thinking, Ling Sanping received a call, vaguely saying that some suspicious things had been discovered during Su Zifu's physical reexamination today and that he needed to come over and take a look.
