As night fell, several cars turned on their sirens and roared through the streets of Jiangcheng, finally stopping slowly in front of a crowd.
The driver tried his best to use the horn to disperse the spectators, and the vehicles forced their way through a small road to the vehicle frame that was smoking.
The car door opened, and Zuo Zhong jumped out of the car, accompanied by Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang. Gu Qi took out a certificate and showed it to the police officer in charge of the scene.
"From the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what's the situation? How many people died?"
Hearing that the person coming was the superior of the Jiangcheng Police Department, the police officer immediately ran over and stood still, raising his hand to salute in a standard military salute.
"Sir, I have seen that a car suddenly exploded while driving, killing a total of 3 people. Their identities are currently unknown.
However, we detained a suspicious person nearby, who had weapons and two gold bars on him. According to him, he was a member of the Secret Service Headquarters.
In addition, Director Xu from the Secret Service Headquarters also came to the scene after the incident and is now waiting for the investigation results with the suspicious person in the car. "
The police officer glanced at a black car on the corner of the street and quickly introduced the situation, with a nervous expression on his face.
This is the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the secret service headquarters. They are all high-ranking gods. His small body cannot stand it.
While he was narrating, Wu Chunyang put on gloves and a mask and carefully looked inside and outside the frame, especially the most severely deformed areas.
After the police officer finished speaking, Wu Chunyang also finished the preliminary inspection, took off his gloves, walked quickly towards Zuo Zhong, and spoke in a neither high nor low voice.
"The report shows that the three deceased were burned alive by the fire caused by the explosion. There were many fracture marks on the skull, ribs and leg bones, but the overall shape was basically intact.
The murderer should have used some kind of low-speed explosive. The amount was not too large but very precise. It could ensure the death of the people in the car without affecting the surrounding pedestrians and vehicles. He was a good hand.
(See if it will be blocked)
Preliminary judgment based on the traces shows that the other party placed the explosive device in the fuel tank under the car and used timing or delayed ignition equipment, which requires extremely professional technology.
I suspect that the source of the explosive is pyrotechnic filler. The specific type will have to wait for the test results of technicians to come out. The difficulty is that this type of explosive is easy to make and difficult to trace. "
As the best agent in the Secret Service, it only took him a few minutes to figure out the basic situation, and the police officers on the side opened their mouths.
The so-called low-speed explosives refer to explosives that undergo rapid chemical reactions below the speed of sound, such as old-fashioned fire (separation) explosives, fireworks, etc.
The disadvantage is that it has low power, but the advantage is that it is relatively safe to use and operate, and it is easy to extract and make from daily life items. (Fake it, don’t imitate it.)
After listening to the report, Zuo Zhong held a handkerchief in front of his nose, covering half of his face. He scanned the dense crowd with his eyes and gave two serious orders.
"Lao Gu, expand the scope of the lockdown and tell the onlookers that there may be bombs at the scene, so they should stay away while conducting interrogation and identity registration.
Chunyang, it's really strange that you called Xu and the suspicious person here. This guy is always there every time something happens. You might as well just join the fire brigade. "
"yes."
Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang responded and prepared to execute the order.
Unexpectedly, Xu Enzeng and a young man came over on their own initiative. After seeing Zuo Zhong, Xu Enzeng raised his hand with a shy smile.
"Which gust of wind brought you here? I'm glad to meet you. My brother was on business not far away. He heard the noise and came to take a look at the situation.
Since you are here, let's leave first. Major events are within your jurisdiction. We will see you later. Say goodbye. "
After saying that, he raised his hand and asked a few strong men in Chinese tunic suits to leave, for fear that others would not know that they were spies, hoping to escape.
】
I finally grabbed this guy by the pigtails and wanted to leave without explaining the matter clearly. How could it be so cheap?
Zuo Zhong winked, and Wu Chunyang nimbly avoided the strong man's obstruction and put his hand on the shoulder of Xu Enzeng, who was about to run away.
Before anyone from the secret service headquarters could react, he strangled the other person's neck with his left hand, took out a gun with his right hand and pressed it against Fei Dudu's stomach, issuing a low-pitched warning.
"Director Xu, please ask the brothers from the first department to stay away. The safety on the low-level gun has been turned on. If they scare me out, guns don't have eyes.
If you shoot at such a close distance, the bullet will shoot directly through your liver, and you will die from excessive bleeding in less than five minutes. You must believe in my expertise. "
As he spoke, he ignored the agent from the Secret Service Headquarters who had already drawn his gun, and forcefully pulled the pale-faced Xu Enzeng to the left.
"Believe, believe, I have a hundred brothers who believe in Wu. We are all buddies who have been to the Northeast together. Don't shoot, don't shoot."
Thinking silently that a good man will not suffer the immediate consequences, Xu Enzeng explained while waving his short arms desperately to tell his men to get away, and he was brought to Zuo Zhong obediently.
Seeing the fat man being kidnapped, Zuo Zhong glanced at the gorgeous woman next to the car and snorted in his heart, "You're just on business, you're almost on business! You're on the bed."
Too lazy to care about the other party's affairs, he stood next to the wreckage of the car frame and asked nonchalantly: "Tell me, who is in the car? Don't say you don't know. If it had nothing to do with you, you wouldn't be here.
Don't say I didn't remind you, Lao Xu, Jiangcheng is the temporary capital of the country. Any major events that happen here will eventually be reported to Captain Wei. Don't even try to lie to me. "
"this……"
Xu Enzeng's eyes almost flew away, and he quickly realized that Zuo was right. He couldn't hide Zhen Xiu's visit to him tonight from others, so he might as well take the initiative to tell him.
After thinking about this, he coughed lightly: "To be honest, I suspect that one of the deceased in the car was the new intelligence section chief of our special agent headquarters, named Zhen Xiu.
This person is from Jiangsu Province. He once worked in the Jinmen Party Headquarters. After the fall of Jinmen, he came to Jiangcheng and was recommended by his superiors to work in a department. We just met an hour ago.
I'm not familiar with him, so I know nothing about why he was killed by a bomb. Oh, by the way, this is Zhen Xiu's subordinate Xiao Xie. You can ask him if you have anything.
He was the first to arrive at the scene, and he still had weapons and gold bars on him. This guy might have done this because he took advantage of it. No wonder he knew the person but not the heart, so he had to be interrogated carefully. "
Xu Enzeng was a professional when it came to dumping the blame, and he sold the frightened Xiao Xie without hesitation. Let alone a stranger whom he had only met once, even if he was a close relative or friend, he had to sell it.
Zuo Zhong turned his head and glanced at the dazed young man. He thought to himself that you are in bad luck, and immediately signaled to the little spy to control Xiao Xie.
"It's unfair... it's unfair. I... I just came to see what happened. The gold... the gold bars were given to me by Section Chief Zhen to prevent me from talking nonsense."
The inexplicable Xiao Xie screamed for help, even his intestines turned green. He was pressed to the ground twice in just one day. If he had known this, even if he was beaten to death, he would not come to join in the fun.
Listening to this stammering explanation, thinking of this person's surname Xie, and thinking of gold bars, Zuo Zhong, who was originally casual, looked at the other person seriously, and then lost interest.
Since coming to this era, he has seen too many famous figures in history. There is no need to pay more attention to a small spy and intelligence dealer.
But after thinking about it, he still asked the little spy to stop temporarily, then dismissed the police officer casually, walked slowly to Xiao Xie, and asked a question related to Zhen Xiu.
"I am Zuo Zhong, deputy director of the Secret Service. I have something to ask you now. You'd better answer truthfully. Has Zhen Xiu had any grudges with others? Who is most likely to do so."
Secret Service.
Of course, Xiao Xie knew what these three words represented. He was a little confused despite being nervous, and didn't understand how an ordinary explosion could attract these murderous gods.
Realizing that the matter was serious, he honestly said that Zhen Xiu was a good person and had a harmonious relationship with her superiors and subordinates. He had never heard of Zhen Xiu having any enmity with others.
Even if you have conflicts with certain people at work, you won't let someone use explosives to blow up a car. As long as such a big thing is found out, the murderer will have his head thrown off.
Zuo Zhong did not respond to his explanation and speculation, and ordered Xiao Xie to be sent to the office. There were many people at the scene, and it was not convenient to ask about some things here.
Xu Enzeng, who was standing next to him with his ears pricked up, sensed something fishy. Although the government's heavy and large buildings were under the control of the Secret Service, the people named Zuo came too quickly.
Moreover, the other party did not know that among the dead was the Intelligence Section Chief of the Secret Service Headquarters. There must be other reasons for moving so quickly. He hesitated and leaned over.
"Deputy Director Zuo, Brother Zuo, please excuse my words. Is there something wrong with Zhen Xiu? No wonder I feel something is wrong when I see this guy. Don't get me wrong. He is really not mine."
Xu Enzeng seemed to have forgotten about the century-old wild ginseng, and cried out in a serious tone: "The order from the top asked him to take charge of the intelligence department. I, a small director, couldn't refuse.
We all work for the party and the country, and we should support each other. If there is anything that needs cooperation between the two offices, just say it without being polite. The top and bottom of the first office will never refuse or delay. "
Having been tricked so many times by his subordinates, Director Xu has gained experience. He can ignore anything else and stay out of it first to protect himself.
And Zhen Xiu really has nothing to do with him. The worst he can do is burn the ginseng and return it to Zhen Xiu. If the underworld can receive it...
Zuo Zhong was not surprised at all that Xu Enzeng would shirk his responsibility. If he didn't do this, he would not be Xu Enzeng. He thought that the incident would be reported sooner or later anyway, so he pondered for a moment and said slowly.
"We are investigating a case. Someone paid a newspaper to publish an article that instigated relations between the government and Red Russia. According to the investigation, that person was Zhen Xiu, but he just wanted to arrest him."
Pointing to the several charred corpses with hideous faces in the car wreckage, his expression was a little helpless. Any intelligence officer would have this reaction when encountering a similar situation.
Xu Enzeng almost laughed out loud after hearing this. He thought to himself, Zuo Zhong, Zuo Zhong, you also have today. An important witness was killed and silenced. Now let's see how you explain to the boss.
In the past, there were always problems in one place, but now there are problems in two places. What does this mean? It means that the person named Zuo is nothing more than a lucky person.
But on the surface Xu Enzeng still pretended to comfort him: "Oh, why is it like this? I think there might be a thief in the second place, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. Brother Zuo, you have to be careful."
If I had to use an idiom to describe what he said, it would be yin-yang and scolding. Even a fool could hear the gloating in his words.
Zuo Zhong snorted, looked at Wu Chunyang and raised his chin to the woman beside the car: "Make a "detailed" record for that lady, and ask Director Xu what official business he discussed with her.
As for Director Xu, please, please, it’s a dark and windy night, so be careful of being slapped. If the government needs your confession, the Secret Service will formally notify your secret service headquarters. "
"yes."
Wu Chunyang took back his gun, let go of Xu Enzeng and left. His eyes were full of coldness, and he didn't know where a loser who had repeatedly failed in battles could find the courage to challenge the deputy director.
Xu Enzeng, who had been captured by an army, turned red and wanted to plead for mercy, but when he looked at the two agents with guns and ammunition around him, he immediately decided to follow his heart, curled up his neck and rubbed oil on the soles of his feet.
More than ten minutes later, after finishing the notes, Wu Chunyang returned to Zuo Zhong and quietly handed over a note with the scent of powder.
Zuo Zhong glanced at the woman in the distance with his peripheral vision, nodded imperceptibly, held the note in his hand, turned around and got into the car and looked down.
Through the dim moonlight and lights, I could see two lines of vague text written on the note. The font was very thick, and it must have been written with an eyebrow pencil.
The first line says that Zhen Xiu (separated) bribed Xu En to buy a wild ginseng, and the second line says that Zhen Xiu was recommended for a job with a complicated background.
Silently lighting the lighter and burning the note, Zuo Zhong touched his chin and narrowed his eyes. He turned around and stopped at the wreckage of the car, with a smile on his lips.
