Early the next morning, Liao Tinghui took his men and personally "visited" more than a dozen ruffians and gang members around the Xu family.
As expected, Liao Tinghui learned a lot from these people's mouths that he had not found out at the police station. After all, these people were the ones who suffered the most after Xu Chengde's words. They usually paid attention to Xu Chengde intentionally or unintentionally. As time went by, they naturally got to know Xu Chengde better.
These local ruffians were easy to deal with. Liao Tinghui did not arrange for anyone to watch them. Instead, he gave their families a few pieces of gold and said they needed to do something for a few days, so he took them out.
There was nothing Liao Tinghui needed for them to do. After he was brought out, he asked his subordinates to take him to the police station in another area and lock him up.
This avoids the possibility of these people disappearing and alerting others, and also eliminates the need to worry about these people being unable to keep their mouths shut and leaking information, killing two birds with one stone.
Anyway, Liao Tinghui didn't want to do anything to these people, he just wanted them to be honest for a few days, and he would release them when the matter was over. Besides, he returned the money, which was considered as fulfilling his duty.
Wang Xiyuan also led his men to get a general understanding of the conditions of the people on Liao Tinghui's list, and secretly photographed them.
After doing this, Wang Xiyuan took his men and found a photo studio far away from here to develop the photos.
Wang Xiyuan was also influenced by Liao Tinghui and suddenly became cautious. He did not even develop photos at the Military Intelligence Office.
At the same time, Wang Xiyuan also felt the trouble of investigating insiders. He had to consider every detail carefully, otherwise he would probably fall short. He also understood why Liao Tinghui left the tracking task to outsiders.
After all, we work under the same roof, and even if we are not familiar with each other, we are already familiar with each other. It is indeed quite troublesome to investigate.
Wang Xiyuan waited for more than an hour. Wang Xiyuan finally got the photos. He complained a few words that it was too slow, and then made sure that the photo studio was not doing any tricks, and then he led the people to Xufu Lane.
When they arrived at Xu Chengde's former address, Wang Xiyuan did not take action immediately, but still asked someone to check first whether Xu Chengde had spread any favors here.
Not to mention, Xu Chengde did the same thing here, spreading a lot of favors to the neighbors, using the same method as at Hong Gong Temple.
Wang Xiyuan secretly said it was a good idea and did not choose to go to Xu Chengde's old neighbors to inquire. Instead, he went directly to the local gangsters and got a lot of information from them.
Wang Xiyuan's treatment of these local gangsters was similar to that of Liao Tinghui. They were thrown into prison, but they were not given any money and were not very polite. They asked the police to take them away directly on the street.
After doing this, Wang Xiyuan got into the car given to him by Liao Tinghui and sat in the back seat. Looking at the two remaining documents in his hand, Wang Xiyuan frowned.
Hong Jifu, a middle-aged man in his thirties, is the owner of Longxing Grocery Store. He mainly sells tobacco, alcohol, tea, sugar, and other general merchandise.
Fan Wenliang, about twenty-five years old, was a clerk at Longxing Grocery. It was said that he was a relative of Hong Jifu and lived with Hong Jifu. Both of their families were alone in Nanjing.
Liang Yuanbing, about 40 years old, is the owner of Jufu Liquor Store. He only sells wines with a wide range of wines. Xu Chengde often visits the wine shop and has a wine tasting with Liang Yuanbing in the wine store.
Wang Qingshu, 27 or 28 years old, is an employee of Jufu Liquor Store. His home is in Nanjing and he has a family. Liang Yuanbing also has a family in Nanjing.
These four people, the people recorded in Wang Xiyuan's two documents, are all key suspects at this time. Both stores were moved to after Xu Chengde moved to his current address, and they both moved before and after Xu Chengde left.
of.
This is a bit unusual. Originally, Wang Xiyuan had planned how to investigate if one of them was inconsistent with the other. Unexpectedly, there were two at the same time, which gave Wang Xiyuan a headache.
But Wang Xiyuan doesn't think this is a coincidence. At least one of the two has problems, and even both have problems, but he doesn't know the connection yet.
Returning to the temporary command point, Wang Xiyuan immediately found Liao Tinghui, reported the situation, and asked what to do next.
Liao Tinghui frowned while looking at the information. After thinking about it, he still had no clue, so he had to ask Wang Xiyuan to find a few strangers and put both families under surveillance.
To be honest, Liao Tinghui did not expect that there would be two companies that fit the bill, and both of them felt very questionable.
Liao Tinghui carefully studied the situation collected today, but the more he looked at it, the more headache he got. Although Liang Yuanbing of Jufu Liquor Store had a family in Nanjing, his connection with Xu Chengde was so close that people had to suspect that something was wrong with him.
As for Hong Jifu of Longxing Grocery Store, although Xu Chengde usually only goes to buy some things, neither he nor the clerk has a family in Nanjing, which is another important doubt.
"Ding ding ding... ding ding ding..." A rapid ringing of the phone interrupted Liao Tinghui's thinking. While Liao Tinghui answered the phone, he quickly wrote down the situation in his notebook.
After hanging up the phone, Liao Tinghui had no time to think anymore and immediately took his notebook out of the study and found Shao Zhiyun and Wang Xiyuan who had arranged to come back.
"Uncle Liao, did something happen?"
Hearing Shao Zhiyun's inquiry, Liao Tinghui nodded solemnly and said: "There was a case of massacre of a family of a former team member of Lin Wenhua."
After saying that, Liao Tinghui turned to Wang Xiyuan and said: "Xiyuan, please quickly find someone to send the photos of Xu Chengde, Xu Dafa, Gu Baohe, Hong Jifu, Fan Wenliang, Liang Yuanbing and Wang Qingshu over there."
While talking, Liao Tinghui wrote on his notebook. After writing, he immediately tore it off and handed it to Wang Xiyuan, saying: "This is the address. The person I sent is waiting there. I will send it there as quickly as possible in my car. I will
You need to know who did it!"
Seeing Liao Tinghui holding back his anger, Wang Xiyuan immediately called Hu Limin, handed him a stack, and after giving him a few instructions, Hu Limin immediately ran out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After doing this, Liao Tinghui calmed down and then slowly explained the beginning and end of the matter to Wang Xiyuan and Shao Zhiyun.
It turned out that Liao Tinghui's people who were dispatched to investigate family members around Nanjing City accidentally learned from the residents of the town that there were family members of another military intelligence agency in the town.
But this was not in their information. After questioning, they found out that the military intelligence officer had died in battle. Just a few days after the pension was delivered, a fire broke out in his home late at night, and no one in his family survived.
The investigators felt that something was fishy, so they immediately visited the neighbors around the house, and as expected they found out the general situation of the family.
It was discovered that someone in the family was sick, and the medicine bottles described were almost the same as those thrown away by Gu Baohe, which immediately made the investigators aware of the problem.
After more in-depth interrogation, it was found that on the night of the fire, two strangers came by, and they happened to be seen by the watchman. This made the investigators know that the matter was not simple, and they hurriedly reported it to Liao Tinghui, which led to the scene just now.
After Wang Xiyuan heard this, he was also very angry. This attack on his family had already violated his bottom line. No matter who he was, his family was a traitor. The Japanese were so unscrupulous, and he did not want to tolerate it anymore.
Wang Xiyuan directly asked Liao Tinghui for orders to arrest Xu Chengde, torture him, and pry Xu Chengde's mouth open.
Liao Tinghui did not dare to agree and directly rejected Wang Xiyuan. Although he also wanted to do this, he knew that if Xu Chengde's mouth was not opened in time, his accomplices would probably be let go.
Seeing that Liao Tinghui disagreed, Wang Xiyuan said angrily: "Brother Liao, why not? Haven't we already locked up his accomplices? At worst, we will arrest these two families as well."
Upon seeing this, Liao Tinghui quickly comforted Wang Xiyuan and then explained: "Xiyuan, even if these two families are Xu Chengde's accomplices, we haven't found them all.
We also missed a group of people who are responsible for delivering morphine. There was news from the town just now that someone will go to deliver medicine every half month. We need to find these people."
After hearing this, Wang Xiyuan finally calmed down and asked: "Brother Liao, could the person delivering the medicine be one of those two families?"
Hearing this, Liao Tinghui shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, Xiyuan, the Japanese spy team is very well-organized.
Those responsible for obtaining intelligence, those responsible for liaison, those responsible for combat, and those responsible for transportation all perform their own duties. It is unlikely that they hold multiple positions.
What's more, Xu Chengde's contacts need to be ready to receive information at all times, and they cannot go outside the city to deliver medicine to people."
After hearing this, Wang Xiyuan had an idea and said quickly: "Brother Liao, could it be that one family is responsible for contacting the other for delivering medicine? This can explain why there are two."
Hearing this, Liao Tinghui smiled bitterly and said: "It's not as simple as you think. Although I don't know what happened to these two families, only one of them must be a Japanese spy.
In Xiyuan, the Japanese spy team, contact between people responsible for different tasks is strictly limited unless necessary.
Delivering medicine should be a field service or transportation task, and there is obviously no need to contact the person who contacted him, not even Xu Chengde.
What’s more, the people who deliver the medicine are bound to have to deal with Gu Baohe. If they are usually around the military intelligence office, they will be exposed, which is inconsistent with the behavior of Japanese spies."
After hearing this, Wang Xiyuan nodded and asked again: "Brother Liao, what's going on with these two families? Now I really don't understand what's going on."
Hearing this, Liao Tinghui waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Xiyuan, don't worry too much about these two families. The affairs between these two families are either coincidences or there are other hidden reasons.
But it doesn’t have any impact on us, as long as we know that the Japanese spies are among them, at worst, the two families will be in the same boat, and if they are caught, they will know who the Japanese spies are."
Wang Xiyuan listened and asked: "Brother Liao, how can we be sure that the Japanese spies are among them? Everything we know now is just inference. We still need more conclusive evidence."
