Chapter 9 Four Clues
No wonder the photo doesn’t look like it was taken directly. If it was taken after it was published in a newspaper, this clue would be completely broken.
"Thank you very much, Director." Xu Qingyun did not feel discouraged at all, and had no intention of shrinking. He recalled the analysis and inferences he made on the way, and continued: "Although there was an accident in the connection this time, the spy did not give up the connection, but used a flower girl to pass it on. The mission information shows that they do not know about Hu Qi’s arrest, and there are currently four clues that can continue to trace the whereabouts of the Japanese spy. "
"Shijo?"
Wang Jiansheng couldn't hide his surprise. He only had three investigation paths in his mind, but Xu Qingyun casually came up with "four", which was more than he thought.
"Director, it's Shijo."
Xu Qingyun nodded lightly and said in an orderly manner: "First, the Japanese spies had published a newspaper notice to inform Hu Qi of the joint. They probably went to the newspaper in person and could investigate them through the newspaper. Second, the flower girl could tell the joint The secret code, there must be someone behind it.”
"Third, the spy is most likely to know about your itinerary the day after tomorrow through Chairman Gao. Regardless of whether Chairman Gao knows about it or not, the possibility of the spy being around him is very high."
"Go on."
Wang Jiansheng couldn't help but nod. The three things Xu Qingyun mentioned coincided with what he had thought before. Being able to accurately point out these three directions was extremely good. He was looking forward to Xu Qingyun more and more.
"The fourth clue is the teahouse. The Japanese spies are very cunning. It is very likely that they will visit the place in advance, or they know it well. We should divide our troops into four groups and launch investigations at the same time. If there is an overlapping person, then this person must be a serious suspect. "
Xu Qingyun's words made Wang Jiansheng's eyes sparkle again. This young man's insight and thoughtfulness far exceeded his expectations. Wang Jiansheng secretly praised that Xu Qingyun had indeed thought more than him.
Yes, the spy is so cautious and is likely to be familiar with the teahouse beforehand.
"Qingyun, you are very thoughtful." Wang Jiansheng asked with approval: "How do you plan to investigate further next?"
Xu Qingyun replied immediately without thinking: "Among the four clues, the flower girl is undoubtedly the key. A spy would not do this to others, so he must have had contact with her. Even if there is no photo evidence, she can at least describe the general outline of the spy." Regarding appearance, I plan to start with the flower girl and the newspaper company. The teahouse can be handed over to my brother. As for President Gao, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble the director to take care of it himself.”
As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, President Gao has a prominent position, strong financial resources, and deep friendships with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is most suitable for Wang Jiansheng to investigate in person.
What's more, Xu Qingyun has limited manpower and cannot investigate all the clues. He can only investigate the most important flower girls and the difficult-to-find newspaper offices.
Xu Qingshi was able to thoroughly investigate the remaining teahouses. Although Nan City is not Xu Qingyun’s territory, it is under the jurisdiction of the First Team, making Xu Qingshi’s investigation more convenient. "I will do as you say and investigate the flower girl and the newspaper office immediately. , I will find someone to come and take a portrait after getting the facial features of the instigator. This matter will be kept strictly confidential and do not let other people know the truth of the case. "
Wang Jiansheng understood that the flower girl and the newspaper were key clues, but the leadership of the case was in the hands of Xu Qingyun, and it was natural for him to conduct a thorough investigation.
For Wang Jiansheng, what matters to him is the final result. The hateful Japanese spies killed the commander-in-chief and now want to use such despicable means to murder him. This is unbearable and they must be found out.
"Yes, Director."
Xu Qingyun stood at attention with a firm look in his eyes. Xu Qingshi happily took him away. Although he did not catch the spy, it was obvious that the case had become more important.
Just knowing in advance that someone was going to assassinate the director was a great achievement. If he could really find out the spy behind the scenes, it would be an even greater achievement.
Enough for Xu Qingyun to be promoted to deputy squadron leader.
As soon as Xu Qingshi left the office, he warned: "Qingyun, the Japanese spies don't know yet. This is our advantage, but we only have two days to find someone. After the deadline, I'm afraid there will be a big drama of 'assassination of the director', 豼Do you understand?"
"I understand, don't worry."
Xu Qingyun responded that no one could be found within two days, and he did not want the spies to know the true situation, so Wang Jiansheng had to cooperate and be "assassinated" once to confuse the spies or attract the spies to show up. "Very good, do it seriously, I'll wait for your good news."
Xu Qingshi nodded with satisfaction. His younger brother was lucky. Although he failed to catch the contact person, he found out the enemy's true intention.
The assassination of the director is naturally different from other cases. Once solved, the achievements will be remarkable enough and will be remembered by the director.
If the case is solved, my younger brother's future career will be smooth and prosperous.
Xu Qingshi has no jealousy, but is full of pride and expectations. The more capable and outstanding the Xu family is, the more brilliant the future of the Xu family will be.
Xu Qingyun returned to the police station. Yi Sheng, Zuo Jinfang and others had already returned and were waiting for him.
"Yi Sheng, Jin Fang, take people to Nanshi and find the flower girl you met with today and her family. Don't let others discover your whereabouts."
Time was running out, Xu Qingyun immediately assigned the task, paused here, and continued: "After finding the person, find a safe and secluded house near us, take their family over, and explain to them clearly that if there is anything, they need to assist in the investigation , I can’t go out these days, let them cooperate well, and then I will give them a piece of ocean every day as a subsidy.”
This is not an ordinary case. After the interview, the little girl cannot be allowed to go back to avoid being discovered by Japanese spies. First, find a reason to visit relatives and arrange for them to stay nearby for a few days.
Once the case is solved, they will be allowed to go home.
"Don't worry, squad leader, we will never scare them."
Yi Sheng immediately assured that the child was very cute and he could not bear to hurt him. Not all police officers were bad during this period, especially after the Tianjin police were rectified, most people had good intentions.
"The rest of you, follow me to the newspaper office."
After explaining Yi Sheng, Xu Qingyun took the four people out. The flower girl and the newspaper office were two clues, and they had to be carried out at the same time.
"Tianfeng Daily" was founded five years ago. Its founder, Sha Liefeng, was once a leader in the journalistic circle. Not many people may know his name. When it comes to "the four most famous actors in Peking Opera", it can be said that he is well known.
This title was originated by Salle Feng.
Not just the title, the novel "The Legend of Shushan Strange Heroes" serialized by Tianfeng Bao is still known to many people in later generations.
The newspaper office is located in Blacksmith Alley in the north of the city, very close to the printing office and several famous bookstores.
Most of the local newspapers in Tianjin are gathered here.
Tianfeng News does not print itself, and the newspaper office is not big, just a two-story building. It was already early five o'clock in the afternoon when Xu Qingyun arrived.
In Tianjin in February, the chill is still strong, and the temperature hovers below zero. Every time you take a breath, the breath you exhale instantly turns into pieces of white mist, like winter elves dancing in the air.
Thanks to Ji Xingchen for the reward of 1500 starting coins, and thanks to Shuhuang886 for the reward of 100 starting coins.
