The new store in Xinyi Garden opened on Saturday. Liu Gen was unable to attend the opening ceremony. He and Yan Yu had to go to Shenzhen to track down Zhou Jie's traces.
Liu Gen bought round-trip tickets for the two of them to arrive in Shenzhen on Saturday morning and return to Nanhai on Sunday afternoon.
Liu Gen didn't mention this trip to Shenzhen to anyone. Even Ouyang Xue and Xiangzi didn't know about it, and they thought he would attend the opening ceremony of the new store.
Liu Gen got up at dawn, took a backpack with him, took a taxi to pick up Yan Yu, and went straight to the airport.
This was Liu Gen's first time flying, but he didn't feel anything special at all. Instead, he felt very heavy and rarely spoke on the plane.
Yan Yu seemed very happy, as this trip was a vacation for her. She asked the detachment for two days' leave, using the excuse that she had something to do at home.
On the way to the airport, Yan Yu paid special attention to whether there were any following vehicles behind her. She did not see any suspicious vehicles following her.
However, just after Liu Gen and Yan Yu completed the registration procedures, a man, after knowing their destination, made a phone call and said in Cantonese: "Two guests, a man and a woman, are flying to Shenzhen today.
Don’t delay your airport pick-up.”
Neither Liu Gen nor Yan Yu knew about all this.
Yan Yu was not on a business trip. She was wearing casual clothes and did not bring any weapons. She did not feel that there was any danger in this trip to Shenzhen.
After arriving at Shenzhen Airport at around nine in the morning, Liu Gen and Yan Yu got into a taxi and went straight to a hotel near Luohu Port. They followed an inconspicuous taxi from a distance.
Almost at the same time that Liu Gen and Yan Yu checked into the hotel, Meng Xianwei also cleared customs from Hong Kong to Shenzhen. The taxi following Liu Gen and Yan Yu also followed to the hotel. The passengers in the car seemed to be staying in this four-star hotel.
It looked like a first-class hotel. He stood in front of the hotel's main service desk and checked in with Liu Gen and Yan Yu. He knew the room numbers Liu Gen and Yan Yu checked in, and then called.
When Meng Xianwei received the call, he happened to pass through Luohu Port. A black Mercedes-Benz came to pick him up at the port. After getting in the car, he said to the driver: "One man and one woman, you bring a few brothers and do it tonight. Remember, you have to live."
Yes, take them to our warehouse in the suburbs and do it nicely without alerting the hotel security."
Liu Gen and Yan Yu asked for two rooms. After putting down their luggage, they took a taxi and went straight to Luohu Port without bothering to eat something.
"When Captain Yang and I went to Hong Kong last time, we had a few words with a policewoman named Xu at the port. She should be able to help." Yan Yu said.
"With so many people coming in and out of the port every day, a few days of surveillance video is enough for us to watch," Liu Gen said.
"Yeah, I guess I can only watch it at their place. It's impossible to take it away."
Arriving at Luohu Port, Yan Yu successfully found the policewoman and briefly explained her purpose. The policewoman was a little embarrassed.
"Sister Xiaoting, please help me. This is related to the murder of our detachment leader Yang. Although I am not here to investigate as a public servant, this matter is indeed very important. Let's just take a look at the surveillance data at the import and export ports. No.
If you bring any trouble...please, Sister Xiaoting..." Yan Yu kept pleading with Sister Xiaoting.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the surveillance data is not under our control, it is another technical department." The female police officer explained.
"Sister Xiaoting, please help us and just take a look. We flew to Shenzhen all the way for this. We don't have much time..." Yan Yu was still pleading.
Liu Gen spoke: "Sister Xiaoting, please ask for us. If you need to spend money, I will be willing to pay it no matter how much it is."
When the policewoman heard this, she glanced at Liu Gen, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll call you first to ask, but it may not work." After that, she walked aside and took out her mobile phone to make a call.
After a while, the policewoman came over, pulled Yan Yu aside, and whispered a few words.
Yan Yu came back and said to Liu Gen: "Sister Xiaoting asked, and she asked for 10,000."
Liu Gen brought cash and immediately took out a wad of hundred-yuan bills from his bag and handed it to Yan Yu and said, "Go and give it to her."
"I didn't expect people here to be so snobbish and have to spend money to get things done." Yan Yu muttered and took the money.
"In the special zone, everything is special. I've already seen that the sister you called Xiaoting wants some benefits." Liu Gen smiled and whispered.
Since money can make people go around, of course it can also make people do things. The policewoman got the benefit and immediately changed her face. She personally took Liu Gen and Yan Yu to the surveillance technology department and gave them the time range of the surveillance videos that needed to be viewed.
As soon as a person in charge said this, he immediately led Liu Gen and Yan Yu into a room, sat in front of a computer, and called up the surveillance video at the time Yan Yu said: "You guys watch it slowly." Then.
Go out and close the door.
Liu Gen and Yan Yu were the only ones left in the room. They sat in front of the computer screen and began to stare at the screen seriously. This was just a video of exiting customs, and it showed the first customs clearance gate. There were so many gates.
How long would it take to finish reading? Liu Gen asked Yan Yu to bring up the pictures of other checkpoints, but the computer screen was too small, and no more than six windows could be opened at a time. If there were too many windows, the picture would be too small and difficult to recognize.
This is a job that requires patience. Liu Gen braced himself and stared at the picture.
"Brother Gen, I'm going to buy some food." Yan Yu said.
"Okay." Liu Gen replied without raising his head. It was already time for lunch.
After Yan Yu went out, Liu Gen felt that watching this way was too slow, so he started to use the fast play button. This way, watching was much faster, but it required concentration. After about twenty minutes, his eyes suddenly lit up and he saw one of the customs clearance windows.
Seeing Mei Yingchun's figure, he immediately pressed pause and carefully identified it, and it was indeed her.
Mei Yingchun had her hair permed, and her clothes were much more fashionable than when she was a college counselor, but she had also lost a lot of weight. The only thing that remained unchanged was her eyes.
"Teacher Mei..." Liu Gen stared at Mei Yingchun in the picture, his eyes were wet, and he stared blankly for a while, then he thought about cutting off her picture and asking people here for some information about her.
You can find her in Shenzhen.
Just after cutting off the picture of Mei Yingchun, Yan Yu came back with a plastic bag: "Brother Gen, let's eat first. I bought a Cantonese barbecued pork fast food box lunch and water."
The two of them stared at the TV screen while eating. It wasn't until about five o'clock in the afternoon that they still hadn't finished watching the surveillance video from the first day.
"Yan Yu, I think we should watch the surveillance video of you and Captain Yang on the day they arrived in Hong Kong. This is from the first day. Doesn't the scope go too wide? Maybe Zhou Jie and you crossed the port on the same day?"
Liu Gen's eyes were dazzled, and he felt that it was too slow to continue reading like this.
"Let me think about it, we passed the port just before dark that day, around seven or eight o'clock." Yan Yu recalled, "Look at what happened after five o'clock that afternoon."
Liu Gen was already proficient in using the computer. After entering the date and time, the screen switched over. This time he did not fast forward and read while eating.
Two hours later, he saw Yang Rucheng and Yan Yu: "Commander Yang, please come out." Liu Gen pointed at the screen and said.
"Well, it should be soon." Yan Yu felt sad when she saw Yang Rucheng in the picture, and tears fell down.
About half an hour later, the computer screen appeared at around eight o'clock. Liu Gen finally saw a man with a crew cut wearing sunglasses: "It's him! Zhou Jie!" He pointed at the screen and shouted: "Sure enough, follow Yang.
Detachment leader, you have arrived in Hong Kong!" Liu Gen freezes the scene.
"Are you sure he is Zhou Jie?" Yan Yu asked.
"You can't be wrong! I've seen him before. Although he's wearing sunglasses, I'm sure it's him!" Liu Gen nodded and said, "I'll let people here check his name at the port."
"Maybe he used a pseudonym?" Yan Yu said again.
"Yes, it is impossible for him to use his real name." Liu Gen said: "But we need to copy this scene, as well as Captain Yang and you crossing the port, to take it back as evidence in the future."
"Can you see when he came back from Hong Kong?" Yan Yu said again.
"No need to look, he will definitely scan the Hong Kong and Macau pass when he passes through the port. We can directly ask the people here when he came back from Hong Kong." Liu Gen said.
The surveillance equipment room was on duty 24 hours a day. Liu Gen and Yan Yu found the supervisor on duty, showed him the intercepted video of Zhou Jie crossing the port, and asked him to help check this person's information.
The supervisor immediately arranged for technicians to help, and soon found out that the man's name was Zhang Xiangdong, who was from Nanhai City. The reason for passing through the port was business, but he never came back.
"He didn't come back..." Liu Gen and Yan Yu both felt strange: "How long has he been staying in Hong Kong?"
The technician clicked on the keyboard again to check: "He applied for a long-term round-trip permit to Hong Kong and Macau."
"Is he still in Hong Kong?" Liu Gen said to himself.
"Brother Gen, where have you seen this Zhou Jie?" Yan Yu asked, "What do you do?"
Liu Gen winked, did not answer, and then showed the screenshot of Mei Yingchun to the technician: "Please help me check this person again. Can you find her address?"
The technician got the supervisor's permission to help Liu Gen and the others without asking any questions. He quickly found the address written on Mei Yingchun's Hong Kong and Macau Pass, which was near the Luohu Port. Liu Gen was very excited and wrote down the address with a pen.
Yan Yu asked the technician to make a copy of the surveillance video of Zhou Jie passing through the port and heading to Hong Kong, but the technician did not agree and said that this would only require the approval of the leader. So Yan Yu went to the supervisor again, but was refused and said that if the Nanhai police needed it,
, you can copy it here at any time. This kind of information is generally kept for one year, but it cannot be taken away by Yan Yu and the others.
When they walked out of the Port Surveillance Video Technology Department, it was completely dark outside. A special zone that never sleeps, with feasting and feasting, unfolded before Liu Gen and Yan Yu's eyes.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"Brother Gen, what does Zhou Jie do? Where have you seen him?" Yan Yu asked the question just now when she and Liu Gen walked to the port where the taxi stopped.
"He is Ren Xiaoyao's full-time driver. I met him at Ren Xiaoyao's house." Liu Gen answered simply.
"Then why do you suspect that he is the murderer of Captain Yang?" Yan Yu frowned and asked, "Is it just because his name has the character "Jie" in it?"
