"You guys stay in the car, I'm going to make a phone call!"
"yes!"
There is a public phone booth more than fifty meters away from here. Jiang Xinyu has already noticed that the cigarette seller is still nearby!
He picked up the phone, dialed the number of the webmaster's office, and said, "Webmaster, this is Jiang Xinyu."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Mucai asked.
"There was a murder just now in Wanghua Apartment. I have an idea..."
"Homicide? Who was killed?"
"Long Sihai from the Qing Gang was stabbed three times and died on the spot!"
"Where's the murderer?"
"Run away. I was worried about being noticed by the Communist Party, so I didn't arrest anyone."
"You're doing the right thing, don't lose the big for the small! Tell me what you think."
"Can we use this matter to investigate the case and go door to door to investigate, at least to have a good idea of the residents in this building? I don't dare to make the decision, so I can ask you for advice."
Qiao Mu pondered for a moment and said: "There is a situation I wanted to inform you. Half an hour ago, the enemy station started transmitting again. It lasted for more than ten seconds and then suddenly stopped. I now suspect that the radio station is hidden in Wanghua Apartment, because
There was a murder, so the operator stopped!"
"Then what do you mean..."
"On the pretext of finding the murderer, everyone in Wanghua Apartment was not allowed in or out. They searched house to house. There were more than twenty people in total. It shouldn't be difficult to find such a big radio station!"
"yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinyu returned to the car and said, "Mazi, go call the police in charge of this case. Don't be too showy!"
"clear."
When Ma Keming came to the door of Wanghua Apartment, a police cordon was set up around him. A policeman stopped him and said: "Back off, back off!"
Ma Keming covered himself with his clothes, showed his ID, and said, "I am from Yan Station of the Security Bureau. Who is responsible for this case?"
"Inspector Li and Inspector Zou from the Criminal Division."
"Inspector Zou? Gonghe Zou?"
"right."
"Call him out."
"yes!"
The police did not dare to neglect and hurriedly walked into the apartment.
After a while, Zou Gonghe stepped out. He and Ma Keming knew each other. He came closer and said, "Team Leader Ma, what's the matter?"
Ma Keming whispered: "Captain Jiang invites you!"
"Captain Jiang is here too?"
"Come with me, it's over there!"
After crossing the road, Zou Gonghe got into the car and said politely: "Captain Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Xinyu asked: "Are you responsible for this case?"
"Inspector Li Ang and I."
"You all know the rules of the Secret Bureau, so I won't explain them. In the name of the police station, the entire building will be searched. Everyone is allowed in and out. You are responsible for the security, and my people are responsible for the search. Do you understand?"
"Understand!"
Zou Gonghe knew that since the Secrecy Bureau was involved, it was most likely a case involving the Communist Party. He was just a detective, so naturally he was not qualified to ask more questions.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the walkie-talkie, turned on the call button, and said: "One group followed me into Wanghua Apartment, and the other groups continued to monitor!"
"Group 2 received it!"
"Three groups received!"
"4 groups received!"
Although the residents of Wanghua Apartment complained about the search, because of the murder case, they were relatively cooperative and the search went smoothly.
When they searched Room 3 on the second floor, they knocked on the door for a long time, but no one in the room answered. Ma Keming said to the policeman beside him: "Who lives in this house?"
The policeman flipped through the household registration book and said: "Li Lu, male, 33 years old, from Cangzhou, Hebei, clerk of Zhonghua Book Company."
"The rented house... does he live here alone?"
"Yes. We've only moved in for a week."
A tenant is still single, and this status is the most suspicious.
Without hesitation, Ma Keming asked someone to find a piece of wire, put it into the keyhole and poked it a few times. With a click, the door lock was opened.
This is the smallest room in the apartment. It doesn't even have a living room. It has one bedroom, a kitchen, and a toilet.
Jiang Xinyu did not go in. He stood in front of the corridor window, lit a cigarette, and looked aimlessly at the crowd of people outside the apartment.
Night had fallen, and even if he couldn't see clearly, he knew that the person monitoring him must be nearby!
"Captain, we've discovered something!" Ma Keming hurriedly walked out and whispered to Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu stepped into the room, looked around, and said, "What's wrong?"
Ma Keming pointed to the tea bowl on the table and said: "The tea is still hot, which means there is someone in the room!"
Jiang Xinyu touched the tea bowl and found that it was still warm. He took off the tea bowl cover and found that he had not drank a cup of tea at all. He thought for a moment and said, "Have you found the radio station?"
"not yet……"
Before Ma Keming finished speaking, a spy came in and said: "Captain, a hidden compartment was found in the kitchen!"
Without saying a word, Jiang Xinyu quickly came to the kitchen under the guidance of the secret agent.
On the wall on the east side of the kitchen, there is a statue of the Kitchen God. The statue has been taken down. Behind it is a hidden compartment big enough to put a transmitter. There is nothing in it.
"How did you find out?" Jiang Xinyu asked.
The agent replied: "The wall behind the portrait is very empty..."
The agents of the Secrecy Bureau are best at searching, so naturally this kind of agency cannot be hidden from their eyes.
Ma Keming slapped his thigh in annoyance and said: "I understand, there was a murder in the apartment, and a lot of police came. Li Lu felt unsafe, so he ran away with the radio before the blockade!"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said: "We searched the room, but the people outside didn't know. Li Lu is probably still nearby! Mazi, notify other groups and arrest anyone acting suspiciously immediately!"
"
"Understood!" Ma Keming turned around and walked out.
"Captain, look." The agent handed Jiang Xinyu a book and said, "I found it under the bed board."
The cover is Romance of the West Chamber, but it is actually a book that promotes Red ideology. The publication and distribution of such books is prohibited in Kuomintang-controlled areas, which further proves Li Lu’s identity!
Jiang Xinyu ordered: "Continue searching, don't miss any place!"
"yes!"
An hour later.
Ma Keming hurriedly walked in and said: "Captain, we found a suspicious person!"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Is it Li Lu?"
"The neighbors recognized it, no."
"Who are you arresting?"
"A shoe shiner with a gun!"
"Where are the people?"
Ma Keming walked to the door, waved to the outside, and said, "Bring him in!"
The agents pushed a man in. The man was wearing a ragged felt hat, his wrists were cuffed, his head was lowered and he said nothing.
Jiang Xinyu walked up to him and said, "Look up!"
The shoemaker reacted a little slowly, and the agent behind him kicked him and shouted: "Are you deaf? Look up!"
Jiang Xinyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the appearance of the shoemaker. It was the cigarette seller who was watching him near the Victory Restaurant!
"What is your name?"
The shoemaker said nothing.
"what is your job?"
The shoemaker still refused to answer.
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said: "If you don't talk here, there is a place where you can speak! Take it back!"
