After Liu Xuhua and Hu Limin left the stall, they continued to walk for a long distance before taking a detour to the meeting place. They met Liao Tinghui in a private room of a hotel and explained the situation of their inquiries.
After the two of them finished talking, Wang Xiyuan and Liao Tinghui looked at each other and smiled, saying with a smile: "You are really an old fox. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into this man's trap."
Liu Xuhua saw this and interrupted: "Brother Wang, although Xu Chengde did help these people, they don't seem to be that alert?"
After hearing this, before Wang Xiyuan could speak, Liao Tinghui explained: "This is not surprising, they are just ordinary people, how can they be so vigilant?
What's more, Xu Chengde has lived there for about two years, and no one has disturbed him in the past two years. The little vigilance these people had before has long been worn away.
As long as we don't inquire directly and make some detours, they won't be able to sense it. After all, I don't know how many people have asked about your words."
After listening, Liu Xuhua nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any more questions.
Wang Xiyuan saw it and asked: "Brother Liao, now that this matter is confirmed, can we go to those ruffians to inquire?"
After hearing this, Liao Tinghui thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "This matter cannot be rushed. Let's inquire first tonight to see who has had conflicts with Xu Chengde.
Who else is familiar with the situation on this street and the situation from here to here? We will go find these people tomorrow.
Night is usually when these people are active. I won’t tell you if I can find them. If I find them, there should be others around them. It’s better to go directly to their house to look for them tomorrow morning to avoid leaking the news.”
Wang Xiyuan nodded and made arrangements, asking Hu Limin to convey the order to the others, while Liu Xuhua followed the two of them and left.
Wang Xiyuan had just had a chat with Liao Tinghui and knew what Liao Tinghui was going to do in person.
The three of them went all the way to the police station in this area, showed their IDs, and directly called all the police officers who were in charge of the area around Xu Chengde's house.
Including the police who patrol daily, the police who manage household registration files, and even the police who handle cases in this area and the police who were in charge of this area in the past came here.
Xu Chengde's family and the Military Intelligence Department belong to the same district police station. The police station and the Military Intelligence Department have had many interactions, and they can even be said to be a group of people. Liao Tinghui gave the order, and within a short time, everyone arrived.
Liao Tinghui did not delay and directly began to ask about various situations he wanted to know, including the flow of people in the areas designated by Liao Tinghui.
The area designated by Liao Tinghui is one kilometer around Xu's home and one kilometer around the Military Intelligence Office to investigate the flow of people in this area, especially around the time Xu Chengde moved in.
The reason why Liao Tinghui arranged this was because he and Lin Wenhua had discussed it, and both of them felt that Xu Chengde should have an accomplice who would be responsible for warning other Japanese spy teams on Xu Chengde's behalf.
After all, the Japanese spy team got the warning very cleverly, basically not long before Lin Wenhua and others took action.
And Xu Chengde was in the Military Intelligence Office basically every day. If he wanted to contact the Japanese spy team from there, the only option was to call him.
If Xu Chengde dared to call the Japanese spy team from the Military Intelligence Department, he would have been caught by the Military Intelligence Department. After all, the people who investigated before were not just freeloaders. How could they not have missed the clue of the phone call?
Not only did they think of it, they also conducted a thorough investigation. As long as the calls were made during the leak period, any suspicious calls were investigated. Many people were suspected because of this.
It wasn't a phone call, and it was impossible for Xu Chengde to hide a radio station in the military intelligence office. Naturally, it could only be that he had another accomplice who was taking the time to inform the exposed Japanese spy team.
As for Lin Wenhua and his team's arrest operations, although many of them were planned in advance at certain times, many of them were temporary missions, which meant that Xu Chengde did not always have access to accurate information.
During Lin Wenhua's sabotaged capture operation, a temporary mission was disrupted, and this mission was three days ahead of the planned operation. It was obviously not a coincidence.
This means that when Xu Chengde gets the latest actions of Lin Wenhua and others, he can notify his accomplices as quickly as possible.
This obviously would not be through a dead mailbox or the like, but would be delivered in person or through a phone call outside the Military Intelligence Office.
However, the latter was ruled out because Lin Wenhua's temporary operation took place after the Military Intelligence Office had begun an internal investigation. After Lin Wenhua went to arrest, all the people who had left the Military Intelligence Office were recorded, and arrangements were made
Have people tracked.
Among those who went out that day, there was Xu Chengde, but Xu Chengde was just walking home. Although he stopped on the way, he did not make any phone calls.
Afterwards, the investigators found that the last call received by the exposed Japanese spy team came from a public phone. Fortunately, the call was in the area where Lin Wenhua and the others were operating.
This made the investigators focus again on the fact that the action team members and intelligence team members responsible for the arrest at that time did not follow this line of investigation.
After Liao Tinghui set his sights on Xu Chengde, he rediscovered the files of this operation based on the speculation of his associates, and came to the conclusion that Xu Chengde passed on the news through personal contacts.
It was a pity that Xu Chengde did not write down where he had been and who he had been in contact with at that time. When he found the person responsible for tracking, he did not remember it very clearly. He only remembered that Xu Chengde had contacted many people that day, either to say hello or to buy something.
I didn’t write down the people I contacted.
But this was enough, enough for Liao Tinghui to know that Xu Chengde's accomplices should be around the road he went back to, or around his home.
After all, in the description of the stalker, the people Xu Chengde came into contact with were either street vendors who were doing business or people who were familiar with Xu Chengde. The place where they lived was obviously not far from this road.
Moreover, that temporary action was an unexpected incident. Xu Chengde could not have asked the contact person to wait for him in advance. He could only find it himself.
This is also the reason why Liao Tinghui came to the police station. He needed to understand the flow of people in the area and find the suspects.
Not to mention, these police officers are very familiar with this area, not to mention that Xu Chengde has only lived here for about two years. It didn't take long for Liao Tinghui to get a list of migrant workers.
After getting the list, Liao Tinghui gave some conditions, excluded a group of people, and did not stay any longer.
Before leaving, Liao Tinghui first asked the police to shut up and not reveal anything to anyone, and the police quickly agreed.
However, Liao Tinghui was still not at ease, so he arranged for Liu Xuhua to watch the police who came today and not let them leave until the operation was over.
Although the policeman was not happy, he still agreed. After all, his arm could not twist the thigh, so he had to admit it.
Liao Tinghui and Wang Xiyuan came outside. The car was already waiting, and they got in the car directly.
"Brother Liao, these police can still be trusted. They are one of our own, so there is no need to do this, right?"
Hearing this, Liao Tinghui shook his head and explained: "Xiyuan, it's better to be careful. This Xu Chengde is an insider of ours. We can't tell these police the truth. There's no guarantee they won't have other ideas."
Wang Xiyuan naturally understood the meaning of Liao Tinghui's words. Liao Tinghui was afraid that the police would mistakenly think that this was a power struggle of the Military Intelligence Department, and someone would be tempted to inform Xu Chengde of the matter.
Liao Tinghui's worry is not unreasonable. In this era, there are a lot of people who do this kind of speculation for the sake of power and money.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiyuan nodded and said: "We really need to be on guard, but brother Liao, can I go back and find someone to replace Liu Xuhua? He is quite capable."
Hearing this, Liao Tinghui shook his head and explained: "Xiyuan, just keep Liu Xuhua here! He is no longer suitable to participate in the investigation against Xu Chengde.
Not only him, but also people who have appeared around the Xu family, people who have appeared around Xu Chengde or are familiar with Xu Chengde, should try their best to avoid investigating in this area or around Chengde.
Even though Xu Chengde doesn't seem to have experienced much harm in front of us, this is a clue that we found out by picking at the bones of an egg.
If Xu Chengde wasn't powerful, he wouldn't have been hiding for so long without being found. We must be careful and cautious in dealing with him."
Liao Tinghui learned this trick from Lin Mo's tracking. Lin Mo used to track people like Chen Maoqing, and basically a wave of people would be replaced within a few days to take charge of the tracking, and the Japanese spies never noticed it.
Although Wang Xiyuan felt that Liao Tinghui was too cautious, he thought about how a group of people in his group could not find Xu Chengde after searching for so long, so he nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Liao Tinghui handed the list to Wang Xiyuan and said: "Xiyuan, tomorrow you arrange for someone to check these people and see what their situation is.
After checking, we will go to Xufu Alley to check again. I think Xu Chengde also used this method to pass on information in Xufu Alley two years ago. By comparing the two, we may be able to directly find the person we are looking for.
"
When Wang Xiyuan heard this, he nodded, took the list, looked at it for a few times, and then put it away.
Xufu Lane was the old headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department, and the Hong Gong Temple headquarters where it is now was moved there just two years ago.
Xu Chengde's previous residence was not far from Xufu Alley. If anyone on the list had stayed around Xufu Alley for a period of time, there was a high probability that he had not escaped.
After all, a very important condition in Liao Tinghui's selection list is whether the person came here during the time when Xu Chengde moved here.
Returning to the command point, Liao Tinghui picked up the previous investigation materials again and started looking up them, because Liao Tinghui discovered that the previous investigators did not find nothing, but there was no target, and the direction of the investigation was misled by Xu Chengde.
