In order not to appear too deliberate, Chen Lizhi went to the bathroom first. When he came back, he could easily see where Shen Zhifeng was sitting.
Shen Zhifeng does not know Chen Lizhi, but Chen Lizhi knows Shen Zhifeng.
Chen Lizhi came to Violet Cafe today to meet with his contact person and deliver a very important piece of information. He didn't expect to meet Shen Zhifeng.
Chen Lizhi thought to himself, why did Shen Zhifeng appear here? If it was an accidental encounter, it would be fine, but he was afraid that he had heard the news and came to the cafe to inquire about the situation.
This kind of thing cannot be done carelessly. Chen Lizhi made a decisive decision and must cancel this meeting!
He had just sat down for a few minutes and ordered two cups of coffee. It was obvious that his companions had not come. If he left immediately at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Chen Lizhi picked up the military cap and placed it on his right side.
The hour hand of the clock on the wall pointed to two o'clock, and a fat middle-aged man walked in from the outside. He was wearing a light gray suit, a gray top hat on his head, and holding a copy of Yanjin in his hand.
daily.
The waiter came forward and said, "Welcome to Violet, sir, please come this way."
The middle-aged man nodded and followed the waiter as he walked inside. He could only see Xu Wenxiu but not Shen Zhifeng sitting inside.
When he approached Chen Lizhi, the middle-aged man was about to say hello when he saw the position of his military cap on the table and immediately walked past the table calmly.
Under the guidance of the waiter, he sat at a table by the window and said, "A cup of coffee, thank you."
"Please wait a moment." The waiter bowed and retreated.
Xu Wenxiu said: "Zhifeng, I'm a little tired, let's go back."
Shen Zhifeng stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom, and we'll leave when I get back."
"The bathroom is over there."
"Know."
After a while, Shen Zhifeng came out of the bathroom, walked to the bar, turned around, pointed to his table, and said, "Check out."
He took out his wallet and was about to pay the bill, but suddenly his heart moved. He looked back in the direction behind him again, looked around, and finally landed on Chen Lizhi.
What attracted him was not Chen Lizhi himself, but the position of the military hat on the table.
In Shen Zhifeng's opinion, it is more reasonable to place items such as hats on the inside of the table, that is, on the left hand side. Few people put hats on the outside, unless they are leaving soon or there are some special circumstances.
In fact, his analysis was correct at all - putting the military cap on the left hand side means that everything is normal and can be connected. If it is placed on the right hand side, it means that the connection can be canceled if the situation changes.
Shen Zhifeng thought for a moment and said to the waiter: "Let me use the phone."
"If you please." The waiter pushed the phone over.
Shen Zhifeng picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers, and whispered: "Hey, it's me, come to the Violet Cafe right away..."
After settling the bill, Shen Zhifeng returned to the table, looked at the coffee in front of Xu Wenxiu, and said, "Wenxiu, aren't you going to drink your coffee?"
Xu Wenxiu said: "I don't want to drink it anymore, I feel a little nauseous."
"Then don't waste it..." Shen Zhifeng picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Do you know why you feel nauseated?"
"Why?"
"Too much sugar."
"Yeah?"
"It must be so. It's so sweet that it's so sweet. If it's too sweet, it's boring."
"It seems to make sense..."
"Let's change places."
"what?"
"There is sunshine over there. Exposure to more sunshine is good for your health, especially for pregnant women."
"I'm less than two months old, so I can't be considered pregnant." Although Xu Wenxiu said this, she still stood up and sat across from her.
Shen Zhifeng smiled and said: "Don't say two months, you are still pregnant if you are pregnant for one day."
Ten minutes later, Wang Xinrui and a special agent walked in. They seemed not to have seen Shen Zhifeng and sat at the table diagonally opposite Chen Lizhi.
After a while, Chen Lizhi raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, then reached out and called the waiter: "Check out."
Then he pretended to be angry and said: "This stinky woman always lets me go. Let's see how I deal with her when I get back!"
After settling the bill, Chen Lizhi put on his hat and walked out of the cafe.
Wang Xinrui winked, and the spy who came with him got up and followed him out.
…………
the next day.
Security Bureau Yanjin Station.
Office of the Deputy Director of the Intelligence Division.
Shen Zhifeng took off his coat, casually put it on the chair, and said to Wang Xinrui who was standing in front of him: "Have you checked it out?"
Wang Xinrui said: "We have basically found out that the officer's name is Chen Lizhi, a captain of the military police brigade. In the 33rd year of the Republic of China, he was admitted to the Army Officer School. He was a graduate of the 17th batch. He first served in the military and political affairs
The 20th Officer Corps of the Ministry served as the combat staff, and since then, I have been following Commander Chen..."
"Which Chief Chen?"
"Sir Chen Jieshan."
"Go on."
"After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Chief Chen was transferred to the Yanjin Garrison Commander and brought Chen Lizhi with him. He was first in the 151st Brigade. At that time, he often dealt with Americans. Chen Lizhi could speak English, so he was transferred to the Military Police Brigade.
,until now."
Shen Zhifeng was hesitant and didn't know how to deal with this matter. Although the placement of the hat made people suspicious, it could not be concluded that there was something wrong with Chen Lizhi.
After all, everyone's living habits are different, so maybe he just let it go. Moreover, judging from what Wang Xinrui collected, Chief Chen seems to think highly of Chen Lizhi...
Wang Xinrui said: "Deputy Director Shen, I think Chen Lizhi should be investigated carefully."
Shen Zhifeng frowned: "We have no evidence, so we went to investigate Chief Chen's cronies. If we don't do it right, we could easily stir up a hornet's nest..."
Wang Xinrui said: "Normally, you shouldn't be too rash, but there is another doubtful point that you may have overlooked at the time."
Shen Zhifeng's spirit was lifted: "What's the doubt?"
"Yesterday, there was another customer in the cafe. I felt very suspicious. After you and Mrs. Shen left, he also paid and left after a while."
"What kind of guest?"
"A fat middle-aged man."
Shen Zhifeng's heart moved. The fat middle-aged man...
In Zhao Guisheng's case, the clue finally ended with the person who went to the bank to withdraw money. According to the description of the bank clerk, the person who withdrawn the money was also a chubby middle-aged man.
"Why do you think he is suspicious?"
"First of all, he is alone. A middle-aged man goes to drink coffee alone. I don't think there are many people who have this kind of leisurely atmosphere."
"You mean, he was originally going to have an appointment..."
"That's right. And I noticed that he didn't drink much coffee from beginning to end. He kept holding a newspaper to cover his face, as if he didn't want people to see him."
"Go on."
"Secondly, with Chen Lizhi's status, who can easily break an appointment without even making a phone call? My conclusion is, is that fat man here to see Chen Lizhi?"
