In the business car of the National Bureau of Statistics, the front desk clerk of Ful Tea House recognized He Yan's photo and hurriedly shouted: "I remembered it, I have an impression of this person!"
Guo Zhengdao asked hurriedly: "What kind of impression? Tell me!"
The waiter touched the back of his head: "I remember this person has been here two or three times."
The boss reminded from the side: "Xiao Li, please remember carefully, don't remember wrongly, this is a very important case investigated by the head of the National Bureau of Statistics..."
The waiter thought again and said in a positive tone this time: "Yes, it's him. The main reason is that every time he comes, he will meet a person. That person always likes to wear a peaked cap and covers it very tightly.
, it’s quite mysterious. The quality of our teahouse is here, and the guests who come are all distinguished guests, and they are all well-dressed. There are very few such people, so I am very impressed.”
Guo Zhengdao's eyes lit up and he asked again: "What does that person look like? Can you still remember it?"
The waiter tried hard to remember, and finally shook his head: "I have never seen his specific appearance. This person covers his face tightly every time he comes, and we don't need to store water in the middle. Besides, our teahouse is full of people every day.
There are quite a lot of them, except for regular customers, I have no impression of the faces of ordinary customers."
After hearing this, Guo Zhengdao thought for a moment and said to the waiter: "You have to go back with us to cooperate with the investigation, but you don't have to be afraid. Even if you work normally, we won't embarrass you."
As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at the boss and said, "In addition, you need to retrieve all the surveillance videos in the teahouse within three or four months."
"Our teahouse has never engaged in any illegal or criminal activities, and the guests who come are relatively high-end, so the surveillance is generally not kept for too long." The boss said cooperatively: "But don't worry, I will go back and check the background for you.
Try to get you surveillance at the door, in the lobby, and in the parking lot!"
Guo Zhengdao nodded and reminded him: "Okay, then you all come with me first. Moreover, this matter must be kept strictly confidential. You cannot tell anyone, otherwise, you will be in great trouble."
"Don't worry, we promise to cooperate!"
"Yes, sir, look, I will turn off my phone now."
The owners of this store have obviously seen the world. They are very cooperative and respect the people of the Bureau "from the bottom of their hearts."
Guo Zhengdao turned his head and glanced at Brother Qiu who was sitting next to him: "I'm almost done here, do you have anything else to ask?"
"No, go back." Brother Qiu waved his hand.
"Okay, drive!"
Guo Zhengdao gave an order, the driver started the car, and the group quickly returned to the General Bureau.
…
Half an hour later, everyone returned to the bureau and found Gu Baishun and Liu Hongxu waiting in the conference room.
Guo Zhengdao stood in front of the two men and reported truthfully: "Gu Bureau, according to our investigation, this He Yan has been to the teahouse twice and met people there twice. It is suspected that he was in contact with his handler."
Hearing this, Gu Baishun didn't even think about it, he waved his hand and said: "Check it, we will work overtime tonight. Inform the brothers below that there will be an extra meal tonight. Order whatever you want, I'll treat you."
"Understood, thank you Gu Bureau!" Guo Zhengdao immediately left the office.
Gu Baishun glanced at Liu Hongxu: "Bureau Liu, do you want to go back and rest first, or wait here?"
Liu Hongxu smiled and said: "Finally we have a breakthrough, I will stay here for now."
"Okay, I'll go back to the office first. If you need anything, just come to me directly." Gu Baishun nodded, got up and left the conference room.
…
Soon, people from the Security Department and the General Bureau of Statistics arranged a work plan.
A large number of intelligence personnel from the security department entered the overall bureau and began to look through the surveillance videos and began to watch them frame by frame.
Several months of monitoring, although there is a specific date range, requires very careful checking, and the workload is huge.
Five or six hours later, Brother Qiu stared at a surveillance video, his eyes were bloodshot, and his head began to feel confused.
He took a big sip of coffee, but the intense sleepiness still didn't subside at all. His eyelids could hardly be opened, and his heart was beating fast.
He stood up and glanced at the other people in the office area. Many people also had their eyes fixed and appeared confused.
Brother Qiu thought for a moment, pushed away his chair, went to the office and found Guo Zhengdao, and said to him: "Director Guo, our people haven't slept these days and can't stand it any longer..."
Guo Zhengdao said to Brother Qiu very understandingly: "It's okay, you go back and have a rest. Let our people do the following work."
"Okay, we'll change shifts when you're tired."
The two sides quickly handed over the work, and the people from the security department went back to rest first, while the people from the Investigation Section of the General Statistics Bureau continued to check the surveillance.
…
Another two hours passed.
The entire office area was very quiet. Everyone was silent and staring at the screen. There was only the sound of clicking the mouse.
Guo Zhengdao took a sip of coffee to refresh himself and continued to watch the surveillance camera.
At this moment, a clerk next to him shouted: "Director, we have discovered something."
"Let me take a look!" Guo Zhengdao was shocked, stood up immediately, and walked to the clerk.
The clerk flipped through the video on the screen, and indeed He Yan's figure appeared on it.
"Where is the person he met?"
"At this."
The clerk continued to drag the timeline to freeze the picture on one of the frames. A man wearing a black windbreaker and a peaked cap appeared in the camera.
However, the figure of the other party was very blurry and the cover was really tight. It was difficult to identify his figure, but judging from his general appearance, he should be a man.
"Keep pulling forward." Guo Zhengdao frowned and ordered.
The clerk dragged the mouse, and in the picture, the man who contacted him came in from the side door of the tea house and went directly up the stairs without facing the camera the whole time.
An hour later, another section officer discovered the scene of the two having their first meeting, but the man also came in from the side door and flashed past the scene.
Guo Zhengdao frowned, and asked the people from the investigation department to check the reservation records of the tea house according to the monitoring date.
But when the records were sent, it was discovered that the bookers had used pseudonyms and there were no clues at all.
The chief of the Investigation Section was smoking a cigarette and said to Guo Zhengdao with a headache: "It's not easy to handle. This guy has very strong counter-reconnaissance capabilities."
Guo Zhengdao took a sip of coffee, thought for a moment, and relied on his own experience to say: "Check the car. Check out the surveillance videos of the parking lot in those two days. If you can't find any information in the parking lot, check the surveillance of nearby streets.
.”
"Okay!" The investigation section chief stamped out his cigarette butts and went to check the surveillance video for that day himself.
…
At the same time, people from the Information Section also went to the traffic unit near Ful Tea House and the Police Department. They did not inform the other party of the reason. They only retrieved a large number of surveillance files from the two joint days for the reason of cooperating with the work, and
He also asked everyone in the other unit to sign a confidentiality agreement.
In this way, I stayed up for half the night, until the early morning of the next day, and finally there was news.
Under surveillance at the intersection of two streets, a mysterious man wearing a black windbreaker and a peaked cap was discovered.
The National Bureau of Statistics immediately retrieved all nearby footage according to the timeline, and the man's movement trajectory began to be discovered in large numbers.
Some shots of him driving and walking were captured. However, he kept his face covered with a peaked cap and could not see his appearance clearly.
Guo Zhengdao sat in front of the computer and looked at the other person's figure. He didn't know why, but he always felt familiar.
He took a look at the car this man was driving and found that it was a very ordinary SUV.
I had someone check the license plate number and found that it was also fake.
Guo Zhengdao thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly fell on the lower left corner of the car window in the picture, and he was attracted by a small blue object.
"Zoom in here and take a look!"
"yes!"
After zooming in, you can vaguely see that this blue object seems to be a passport. However, the graininess is too strong and you can't clearly see what unit it is.
Guo Zhengdao thought for a moment, turned around and ordered: "Tell the Information Department to find a way to restore this pass for me! Go quickly!"
