Chapter 102 Start casting the net (seeking a monthly ticket)
Ning Zhiheng and his three men got into the car and drove all the way to No. 2, Liushu Hutong. The tenant Dong Chengjie rented the house and was preparing to inspect the site.
Along the way, Ning Zhiheng's face was plain and he didn't say a word, but his heart was like a storm, and layers of waves came out, which lasted for a long time!
What he is thinking about now is not the two precious jade artifacts and Dong Chengjie's true identity.
What shocked him was exactly what he saw today was the professor of Jinling University, a famous expert in antique shops, and Professor Fang Boyi!
Because of Professor Fang Boyi, he had seen this early and had painted his portrait by himself.
As early as when he saw Fang Boyi, he found that Fang Boyi looked very familiar. Whether it was facial features or eyebrows, the distance was exactly the same as the third picture in Lu Ming's mind, the introducer who was standing under the party flag with him to swore an oath.
Although after many years, the introduction person who joined the party has changed from a young officer to a university professor with a gentle temperament. As time goes by, many traces have been left on his face. For example, the skin begins to loosen, the eye bags begin to deepen, etc., the facial features of his facial features have not changed much.
Ning Zhiheng has outstanding painting skills and emphasizes the details of human facial features. His observation ability is far beyond the recognition of other people's faces. In addition, he has personally depicted Fang Boyi's portrait, so Ning Zhiheng was soon able to confirm that the introducer of Lu Ming's memory and Professor Fang Boyi in front of him are the same person!
Now he can say with certainty that Fang Boyi must be a senior member of the underground party, and it may even be Lu Ming's superior and farmer Xia Deyan's superior!
Many years ago, he was already an officer, and Lu Ming was just a soldier at that time. Moreover, he was Lu Ming's introduction to the party. It is conceivable that his status and position within the party must be above Lu Ming.
This sudden discovery made Ning Zhiheng unable to calm down for a long time. This meeting made him clearly touch the core figure of the Nanjing underground party.
However, he still won’t have any active contact with the underground party. He feels that this is still the case. While ensuring his own safety, he should try his best not to expose his identity as much as possible, which will benefit both parties!
Fang Boyi never expected that by chance, the young man from the rank opposite him recognized him at a glance. At the same time, his guess about his identity was so accurate.
It can be said that God is willing to do things, the sky is high and the earth is great, and all living beings, but in the dark, mortals related to fate always cannot cut off some connection.
Ning Zhiheng and the other two quickly arrived at No. 2, Liu Datong went to find the landlord who lived nearby.
After a while, he hurried over with a man in his thirties.
"Captain Ning, this is the head of the house, named Jin De." Liu Datong pointed to the head of the house and introduced to Ning Zhiheng.
Then he stared at Jin De and said, "This is Chief Ning, who is here to ask you. Jin De, answer the questions honestly. I can tell you that Chief Ning has a fierce eye and does not rub any sand in his eyes. If there is a word that is not true, don't blame me for being polite!"
He was a little scared. Cui Er tried to break one leg and didn't tell the truth to him. However, as soon as Chief Ning went there, he could see that he had lie, which made him lose face in front of Chief Ning.
He also interrogated this landlord Jin De, for fear that he would hide something from him. If he was exposed by Chief Ning, he would be useless in Chief Ning’s mind!
Amid the landlord Jin De's timid agreement, Ning Zhiheng said: "Jin De, you open the yard gate first. I want to check the scene. I will ask some questions later!"
Jin De agreed repeatedly and quickly stepped forward and took out the key to open the yard door. Ning Zhiheng walked in first. This was a medium-sized courtyard. The yard was quite large and the housing was very spacious.
Jin De quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the house. Ning Zhiheng entered the house. There were four rooms. Ning Zhiheng nodded and asked, "This house is really good, the rent is probably not expensive, right?"
Jin De heard Ning Zhiheng’s question on the side, feeling nervous. He didn’t understand what this Chief Ning meant? He didn’t dare to answer for a moment!
Liu Datong, who was behind him, reached out and pushed him, "Captain Ning is asking you something! Why are you stunned!"
"Yes, it's not cheap. This is my family's ancestral property. If I weren't really short of money, I wouldn't have rented it out. It's ten yuan a month! But Dong Chengjie agreed on the spot, it was very refreshing!" Jin De didn't dare to delay any more and replied immediately.
Ning Zhiheng nodded and then asked, "I think this house is cleaned very clean and the furniture is also very neat. Did you clean it?"
"No, no, this is what Dong Chengjie looked like when he handed over the house. He is a very clean person. Every time I came to collect rent, the house was clean inside and out." Jin De replied.
Ning Zhiheng turned around and said to Liu Datong: "Datou, remember, when he interrogated Cui Er, did he move other furniture and items?"
Liu Datong recalled and replied: "Cui Er said it very clearly during the first interrogation and torture, saying that he had searched all the rooms and found all corners. The scene should be very messy!"
"That means that after Dong Chengjie found that his home was stolen, he cleaned up the scene and restored it to its original state. Then he handed over the house and returned to the lease the next day and left here!" Ning Zhiheng thought to himself.
"This shows that he is guilty. He is afraid that when the landlord takes over the house, he will find something strange and see that this room has been stolen." Chen Yanqing, you also spoke!
"Yes, Dong Chengjie has made two preparations. He doesn't want the situation to expand. He does this to try his best to cover up the fact that he was stolen!" Ning Zhiheng agreed with Chen Yanqing's judgment, "This just shows that the jade magma, especially the aristocratic seal, must be his own. It is very important to him to prove his Japanese identity!"
"Jinde, do this Dong Chengjie have any abnormalities in his daily life? How is his relationship with his neighbors?" Ning Zhiheng asked Jinde.
"There is nothing unusual. I live nearby, but he goes out early and comes to work late, and sometimes he has to work overtime but doesn't come back. I have my own affairs. In addition to meeting him when collecting rent, he doesn't have many opportunities to meet him.
He is gentle and kind, and has a good relationship with his neighbors. He never invites people into his yard. The main reason is that he loves cleanliness, and everyone knows that I only occasionally enter his room." Jin De recalled carefully and replied carefully.
"How long has he been renting a house? He has always been single?" Ning Zhiheng asked
"It's just been June, and I never arrears my rent and I've always been single!" Jin De replied.
"He said he was a teacher and went out to work every day?" Ning Zhiheng asked.
"I go out every day, go out early and come back late, and sometimes I don't even have a Sunday break, so I look very busy!" Jin De replied.
"Datou, now you take Jin De and find a few neighbors here. Yanqing, go to the car to bring the white paper and brush I brought. I want to paint a portrait of Dong Chengjie!" Ning Zhiheng ordered.
After understanding what he should know, Ning Zhiheng had a preliminary judgment in his mind. The most important thing now is to find Dong Chengjie, and he has a killer move.
That is the portrait painting of characters, which is a killer weapon in this era. It has become one of Ning Zhiheng's most important means to solve cases. Moreover, the more people witnessed and described in this kind of portrait painting, the more comprehensive the information, the more realistic the portraits drawn!
With the arrival of Chief Liu, the neighbors nearby did not dare to neglect, so they quickly summoned six neighbors to come. Ning Zhiheng listened to their description on the spot, revised and revised it, and finally completed the portrait of Dong Chengjie after two hours. Everyone agreed that it was almost the same as a real person, and they praised Ning Zhiheng's painting skills!
Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and asked Jin De to disperse with everyone. Looking at the portrait in his hand, he frowned and thought for a while.
Now that I have this portrait, I have a lot of information in my hand, and the rest is how to find him.
Dong Chengjie, of course, this name must be fake, and all his registered information should be fake. He is 1.68 to 1.70 meters tall, and is between 30 years old.
He must have a job, otherwise he would not be able to disguise himself for half a year. This job is very regular and sometimes he has to go to work on Sundays!
"Da Tou, I will send you the portrait photos tomorrow. Check in several car dealers to see if there are any rickshaw drivers who have seen him. He is not short of money and is very wealthy. He is too eye-catching to take a rickshaw. He should often take a rickshaw, as long as he can provide clues, he will be rewarded.
This person is very decisive in his work. He chooses to escape as soon as he encounters problems, without any luck! He is a very cautious opponent!
But he had a problem, that is, the two jade artifacts in our hands, especially the gold-inlaid jade-inlaid family emblem seal, must be extremely important to Dong Chengjie. He will definitely come back to look for it after he is safe. You must pay attention to collecting news on the street to see if anyone is looking for this jade magma and family emblem seal. This is a very important clue, and you must not take it lightly!"
Liu Datong nodded and agreed one by one.
"Also, do you know a lot of people on the street about arresting Cui Er?" Ning Zhiheng remembered some things and asked.
"It was arrested at his house in the middle of the night, but Cui Er has not shown up for so many days, so many people should know now!" Liu Datou replied, he didn't know why Ning Zhiheng asked this.
"Then let the wind sound on the street, give it this >>

The arrests are just a pretext, prostitution, robbery, etc., but people cannot suspect that he was arrested for stealing things! Don’t be shocked!" Ning Zhiheng ordered, "Say hello to Liu Yong and the rickshaw driver Cheng Guang, let them keep their mouths closed, and don’t mention any information about Dong Chengjie’s stolen rent! And the same goes for your subordinates, try to block the news about Cui Er!”
