Wu Jingrong frowned and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
He sent people to Peiping to investigate openly and secretly, but could not find Wang Xuelin's whereabouts, which made him very anxious.
Everyone in the Wang family agreed, saying only that Wang Xuelin went to Peking to handle business matters. As for where he lived, they all said they didn't know.
We can't ask too urgently about this kind of thing. We can only inquire from the side through Wang Xinrui. Five days have passed and there is still no progress.
“Tuk-tuk!”
There was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in!" Wu Jingrong sat back on the chair.
Shen Zhifeng pushed open the door and walked in, holding Yamaguchi Sayuri's file in his hand, and said, "Deputy station director, regarding the Yamaguchi Sayuri case, I suggest extending the investigation period."
"Why? The interrogation yielded new evidence?"
"That's not true. I think intelligence work is about rigor, and the case shouldn't be closed so hastily!"
Wu Jingrong said, "You mean that the decision to close the case was not rigorous and lacked sufficient evidence to support it, is that true?"
Shen Zhifeng said cautiously, "Don't worry too much. I don't mean to offend because of my humble position. I'm just discussing the matter."
Wu Jingrong waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to blame you. In fact, I also feel that there are many doubts about this case. However, as Captain Jiang said, there is no need to continue the investigation and focus on
Wherever it should be used, whether it is for you or the reputation of Yanjin Station, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!"
"Deputy station chief, I think Captain Jiang doesn't want to continue the investigation, maybe there is another reason!"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"Zhao Zhuo and Sayuri Yamaguchi have followed and monitored Jiang Xinyu many times!"
"You mean, Jiang Xinyu has a motive for killing?"
"That's right! Killing Zhao Zhuo and framing Sayuri Yamaguchi are obviously to eliminate the root cause!"
Wu Jingrong frowned, looked at Shen Zhifeng for a while, and said, "You were so disgraced last time, and you want to continue fighting with Jiang Xinyu?"
Shen Zhifeng said patiently, "Deputy station chief, I am not fighting anyone. Everything I do is for the benefit of the party and the country! Through the recent events, don't you feel that there are Communist spies lurking in the station?
?”
"The Communist Party spy... I'm afraid there is someone else!" Wu Jingrong sighed involuntarily.
Shen Zhifeng was confused and didn't understand what Wu Jingrong meant.
Wang Xuelin's matter was related to his future. Wu Jingrong did not intend to leak a word. Even his close confidant Zhou Junchen was kept in the dark, let alone Shen Zhifeng.
"Deputy webmaster, please see about extending the investigation period..."
"There is no evidence. The captain of the investigation operation over and over again is just like what you said. This is too lax!"
"Deputy chief……"
"Don't forget, Jiang Xinyu is highly regarded by Director Mao. He is now a colonel and is only one step away from being awarded the title of general! Do you think it is necessary to offend such a person with an unlimited future?"
This time Shen Zhifeng completely understood that it was probably unrealistic to get Wu Jingrong's support again in the investigation of Jiang Xinyu.
It seems that I can only conduct secret investigations in secret!
…………
Xijiao Salt Factory.
There was a car parked on the roadside. Jiang Xinyu was sitting in the car, flipping through the newspaper in his hand, looking over the top edge of the newspaper in the direction of the salt factory gate.
One advantage of being in the suburbs is that if you try to track someone, your identity will also be exposed. With Jiang Xinyu's anti-tracking ability, you can easily escape the spy's surveillance.
Ten minutes later, Liu Deli walked over quickly, opened the back door of the car and got in. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No wonder the salary in salt factories is generally higher. After spending a day in the salt flats, I feel like
Like a dried fish."
Jiang Xinyu put down the newspaper, turned around and handed Liu Deli a bottle of soda, and said, "When July comes, you can try again. It won't take more than a day, but half a day in the sun will make people peel off a layer of skin."
Liu Deli stretched out his hand to close the car curtains, tilted his head back and drank half a bottle of soda. He took a breath and said, "You are right. The construction site is indeed in the salt factory yard. There are soldiers with guns in the southeast corner."
Be careful, even the workers in the salt factory are not allowed to approach casually."
"What kind of building is it?"
"The frame of the two-story building has just been built. It will probably be completed in a month."
"How big is the area?"
"Um... I visually estimate that it's about seven or eight hundred square meters. Oh, by the way, cement foundations have also been poured around it. It looks like we're going to prepare a courtyard wall."
Jiang Xinyu pondered for a long time and said to himself, "We built a building in the suburbs and hid it in the yard of the salt factory. The purpose of doing this is obviously to deceive others..."
Liu Deli said, "The most important thing is that there is a warning of being a soldier. This is so unusual."
"If it can be linked to the Lend-Lease Act, there must be some unknown secret...Old Liu, I can't come here often. You should pay more attention to the situation of this building recently."
"I know." "I'll try to come once a week..."
"No! That would easily arouse suspicion! I heard that the salt factory is recruiting workers recently, so it's best to send someone in as an undercover agent!"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. You can sneak in with this, and the security guard at the door will not recognize you."
Liu Deli took out the forged factory entry certificate and waved it. There are people in the black market who specialize in making fake certificates. Whether it is industrial and commercial license plates or personal documents, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can find a way to make it.
The certificate itself is genuine, but it was bought at a high price and replaced with a photo, making it a fake certificate. It can handle ordinary inspections with no problem.
"If you do it once or twice, if you do it too often, flaws will inevitably be exposed. If you are suspected, it will be too late to escape."
"No way? I went in and walked around for more than two hours, and no one asked me about my identity."
“Don’t leave things like this to chance!”
"Okay, I'll make arrangements in two days."
Jiang Xinyu turned the car around and the car sped towards the city.
On the way, Liu Deli said with emotion, "It would be great if I could see the minutes of the meeting. It would save a lot of trouble."
"It's impossible. The document validity period has expired and the meeting minutes have been destroyed today." Jiang Xinyu drove the car and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time to prevent anyone from following him.
"Why did the Secrecy Bureau suddenly issue such an order?" Liu Deli has always been curious about this matter.
Jiang Xinyu said calmly, "The officers in the Second Office of the Guofang Department had a sudden idea and took it into consideration as soon as they slapped their foreheads. This made it appear that they were very busy and did not sit in the office drinking tea, chatting and reading newspapers all day."
"Are you telling a joke?"
"It's really not a joke. Wu Jingrong told me this personally..."
Mentioning Wu Jingrong, Jiang Xinyu said, "By the way, I almost forgot one thing. Wu Jingrong publicly claimed that he didn't know Wang Xuelin's whereabouts. Why do I feel that something is wrong here..."
Liu Deli was also puzzled and said doubtfully, "Yes, supposedly, Wang Xuelin asked for leave from him... What does Wu Jingrong mean by saying that?"
Jiang Xinyu thought for a long time and said slowly, "Could it be Wang Xinrui who reported Wang Xuelin?"
"If Wang Xinrui reported on Wang Xuelin, why didn't Wu Jingrong send someone to arrest him?"
"There are two possibilities. One is to wait for Wang Xuelin to throw himself into a trap, and the other is to... carry out an assassination operation. If it is the latter, I estimate that the killer is looking for Wang Xuelin everywhere in Peiping!"
