Xing Jizhong slapped the table hard, frightening Liu Kaiping's heart to tremble, and the other people beside him did not dare to say a word.
This place was Yang Shaogeng's home. As soon as Xing Jizhong came over, he immediately checked, and he did find a lot of things.
A pile of books in the study, multiple bags of rice and flour in the kitchen, multiple cartons of cigarettes stored at home, multiple unopened soaps, and a large pile of clothes in the closet all made Xing Jizhong aware of something strange.
After finding the recorded whereabouts of Yang Shaogeng, Xing Jizhong immediately targeted several places and hurriedly sent people to investigate. He thought he could get a big harvest, but to his surprise, the buildings were already empty.
"Alas..." Xing Jizhong sighed, sat down on the stool and said helplessly: "Kaiping, please tell me the specific situation..."
"Yes..." Liu Kaiping responded and introduced: "Team leader, when we arrived, everyone had already left, but it was obvious that they left very quickly and they left not long ago.
He must have received the news and escaped before us. In addition, in the early stages of our pursuit of Yang Shaogeng, he had obviously gotten rid of our people, but he was still caught up in the end.
Based on this, I infer that the news may have been delivered by Yang Shaogeng, and that being caught up may have been intentional, in order to slow down our pace and buy these people time to escape.
Fortunately, they ran quickly, and we found a lot of things in their residences and workplaces, including various supplies and some inventory lists."
Having said this, Liu Kaiping took out a pile of paper from his body and handed it to Xing Jizhong.
"Team leader, based on this, the person we are facing this time should be someone who is in Nanjing and is a person of the Red Party who buys transshipment materials for the Red Party's base area.
Now that we have these manifests and the batch of goods, we can continue to investigate and follow these clues to find other red parties."
Upon hearing this, Xing Jizhong glanced at the thing handed over for a few times, looked at the other person, and asked, "Old Chen, what do you think?"
This old Chen, named Chen Shikai, is the deputy team leader around Xing Jizhong.
After hearing this, Chen Shikai shook his head and said: "Kaiping's method won't work. The people of the Red Party must know about these clues left behind. It would be strange to follow the clues that can be traced to the people of the Red Party.
But! If you follow these clues to investigate, you will definitely gain something. If you can’t find the red party, you can’t find the people who are secretly liaising with the red party?"
"Well..." Xing Jizhong nodded and said, "Kaiping, are there any other situations?"
"There is also a rice and grain store, a department store, and a tailor shop. These three places were already deserted when we went there, so they can definitely be the hiding places of the Red Party.
But something unexpected happened at the bookstore. At the bookstore not far from here, people were still there when we went there. After an interrogation, we could rule out that they were red party members.
After that, I asked my subordinates to go to other bookstores and sent back the news that this person had visited almost all the bookstores in Nanjing.
Now I can't figure out whether this person really likes books or is using it as a cover."
After Liu Kaiping finished speaking, Chen Shikai took over the conversation and continued: "I paid special attention to the books in the study before, and most of the books inside have traces of reading.
It does seem to be a preference, but it cannot be ruled out that it is a cover-up, or I need to see if there is any bookstore. Today, the person suddenly disappeared.
This clue cannot be released. You see, the three stores found now are all collecting some supplies in the name of the store. They are obviously Yang Shaogeng's downlines.
But what can a bookstore collect? Obviously it is difficult to collect any useful materials. If such a bookstore really existed, it would obviously not be simple.
It is very likely that it is the contact point between Yang Shaogeng and his superiors, and it may even be the location of his superiors."
After listening to the two people's analysis, Xing Jizhong nodded and ordered: "Kaiping, please hand over the situation of those who escaped to Chun Xue, and let him investigate.
You then track down the guy who sold the goods to the Red Party, and continue to check the bookstores. Remember to check all the small and medium-sized bookstores."
After saying that, Xing Jizhong looked at Hao Chunxue, who had never spoken, and said: "Chunxue, Yang Shaogeng lost track of him. It's not your fault. You can continue to investigate for me.
You must also conduct an interrogation of the people in the three locations we have just launched, as well as the people in the trading houses. Remember to go to the city gate to check first to see who has escaped and who is still in the city."
"Yes..." Hao Chunxue and Liu Kaiping agreed together and then retreated.
As soon as the two left, Xing Jizhong and Chen Shikai sat down together and started talking secretly.
"Old Xing, there is news from the office that many people have started to make trouble for us. The situation is not optimistic.
So far, we haven’t caught a single person and have lost a lot of people, so this may not be a difficult time to pass.”
Chen Shikai and Xing Jizhong have been partners for many years, and they are one and the same. Neither of them can escape this crisis.
"Old Chen, relax, things haven't gotten out of hand yet. Although we haven't caught a single red party member yet, we can't say that we haven't lost any credit.
Judging from the current situation, the Red Party's material collection and transshipment in Nanjing has basically been destroyed by us. There is room for manipulation, and if it is done well, it can earn a lot of credit.
The investigation in Kaiping was able to find out who was colluding with the Red Party, and the Donghu Trading Company was obviously an accomplice of the Red Party.
If you catch these people, it won’t be a problem to pay them back. If they dare to collude with the Red Party, their homes must be ransacked. Do you understand what I mean?”
"Understood... I want to report this situation immediately. These people who undermine the great cause of the party and the country must not be allowed to go unpunished."
"Haha..." The two looked at each other and smiled, with a fierce light in their eyes.
"Old Chen, this matter will be handled immediately. Remember to find Wang Kui, reveal the situation to him, and let him solve the matter as planned in the afternoon..."
"Well, okay..." Chen Shikai nodded, and suddenly said: "By the way, speaking of Wang Kui, he just sent news that your subordinate Li Dabiao got involved with Shi Hu today, so he should...
"
"Don't worry about him..." Xing Jizhong interrupted Chen Shikai and explained: "They are just a bunch of losers. When the matter is over, there are many ways to deal with him."
Then, the two discussed the details, and after finalizing various situations, Chen Shikai left here immediately.
Chen Shikai first approached Wang Kui, who was still eating, drinking and having fun, revealed the situation and gave him some advice on what to do.
After doing this, Chen Shikai rushed back to the special agent headquarters and ran around. When he left, he was already happy, but his face was gloomy.
It wasn't until he found Xing Jizhong that Chen Shikai had a smile on his face.
"Old Xing, the director ordered us to find and arrest all the Red Party accomplices as quickly as possible and seize enemy assets."
"Haha..." After Chen Shikai finished speaking, the two of them burst out laughing.
"Old Xing, you asked me to go directly to Director Xu. Did you think of this earlier?"
"Humph... Need I say more? It's not like you don't know who Director Xu is? He takes a share of our salary, how can we let these people go?
Donghu Trading Company, as well as the guys who secretly sell supplies to the Red Party, must have yellow and white things on their bodies. Are you afraid that Director Xu won't be tempted?"
After hearing this, Chen Shikai nodded with a smile, but then frowned and asked: "Old Xing, this is what happened, but wouldn't it be bad to bypass the section chief and go directly to the division chief?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Compared with money, the section chief has more power. I don't have much credit this time. I'm just fooling around. If I go to the section chief first, I'm sure it won't be that easy.
This is indeed risky, but the first priority now is to get through this, and I can’t worry about so much. I’ll figure out how to remedy it later!”
"That's all we can do..." After Chen Shikai finished speaking, he asked: "Old Xing, will it be a problem to attack those people? If someone is offended by this..."
"I know in my heart who I can mess with and who I can't mess with. I have a notebook in my mind!
Once we find out, if there is no one behind, those whose homes should be ransacked, those who should be thrown into jail, you can rest assured, I know how to deal with them..."
The two chatted for a while and then started to prepare.
………………
In the evening, Wang Kui took his people back to the secret service headquarters.
"Squeak...ah..." Wang Kui opened the door of Xing Jizhong's office and was immediately startled.
"Section... Section Chief, you... why are you here?"
"I can't come here?" Hu Yawu said with a gloomy face in Xing Jizhong's office.
"No... no... section chief is welcome..."
"Okay, come in, don't hold me at the door, remember to close the door..."
"Yes, yes..." Wang Kui responded a few times, then closed the door and walked not far from Hu Yawu, lowering his head and looking honest.
"I heard that you were exposed today?"
Hu Yawu's angry words startled Wang Kui and quickly explained: "Section Chief, listen to me!
This matter... He can't blame me for this matter. He blames the young master of the Lin family in the military academy. We were following him well, but he bumped into us and pointed a gun at us, which exposed us.
Section Chief, I suspect that this person is from the Red Party. He must have hit us to remind the Red Party, no, no, no... he is holding us back so that the Red Party can escape. He must be..."
"Bang..." Hu Yawu slapped the table with an angry look and stood up, startling Wang Kui who was talking nonsense.
"Lin Mo Lin Mo...***, it's this person again. He dared to help the Intelligence Department last time, and now he comes to ruin our affairs again. He thinks he has some skills****####..."
Looking at Hu Yawu who was scolding Lin Mo, Wang Kui first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt comfortable, and finally was suddenly stunned.
"Section Chief, you said that guy helped the Intelligence Department, was he from that big trading firm..."
"Shut up..." Wang Kui's question made Hu Yawu realize that he had let something slip, and he quickly stopped Wang Kui from continuing.
"Just pretend you didn't hear what I just said. If you dare to speak out, you know what the consequences will be!"
"Yes, yes..." Wang Kui responded with panic on his face, but he was ecstatic in his heart.
