Chapter 72 Two-way Investigation
In the office, Xu Qingyun is analyzing various summarized clues in detail.
Tao Tianqi doesn't smoke or gamble, but he is greedy for money and lustful. These two are his weaknesses, and they are also the easiest places for the Japanese to attack.
The first is sex. Tao Tianqi has three concubines. According to the investigation, he has not been found to have another woman in Tianjin. He has a strong temperament. If he is seduced by beauty, he will most likely be taken to his side.
Xu Qingyun carefully checked the number and time of Tao Tianqi's visits to Tianjin.
There are quite a few times. I came once this year and five times last year.
He is not based here, so he travels to Tianjin five times a year, which is indeed a bit much, but Tianjin is prosperous, so if he comes to Tianjin to relax, he can say so in a cool way.
The point is time.
Each time I come, it only lasts four or five days at most, and sometimes I leave in one or two days.
The longest stay was five days.
In the past five days, he has been in and out of the homes of some important people many times and visited friends. His whereabouts can be traced openly. As for where he went secretly, it has not yet been traced.
Judging from the time he stayed in Tianjin, it was not like hiding in a golden house.
If lustful people are really seduced by beauty, it will be difficult to satisfy them in a day or two. Among the five times Tao Tianqi came last year, he only stayed for one day twice.
He seems to be here for something special.
Except for last year, we were still investigating his whereabouts the year before.
The year before last, his station was not here, it was far away from Tianjin, and he was on the front line. He came to Tianjin only three times.
It doesn't take long.
After comprehensive analysis, Xu Qingyun temporarily came to the preliminary conclusion that the Japanese did not get him to take the bait through a honey trap.
If it’s not women, it’s money.
Opening the drawer, Xu Qingyun took out photos of all Tao Tianqi's bank deposit receipts.
These were purchased from major banks at great prices, and these days as long as you have money, you can buy almost anything you want.
Tao Tianqi's deposits in various banks, converted into oceans, totaled as much as two hundred thousand.
Totally greedy.
What Xu Qingyun looks at is not the quantity, but the time when each amount of money is received, and then based on Yan Ming's investigation, he finds out the source of the money.
If the source cannot be found, it is likely that the Japanese gave him a benefit.
The investigation is not easy. It is just greedy money. Who would go around talking about it? Fortunately, Yan Ming is smart and he knows where to start, such as when Tao Tianqi pays military pay or purchases military supplies, when someone is promoted, and Did anything happen to the wealthy squires or officials where he was stationed?
If so, Tao Tianqi may gain certain benefits during this time period.
Investigating cases is boring and boring, and often results in nothing. Important evidence or clues may even be right in front of you, but it is as if you are ignoring them and not seeing them.
Xu Qingyun had experience in handling cases in his previous life. He understood this and was not impatient. He slowly read through the analysis and eliminated it bit by bit.
The Japanese are most likely to use money to bribe them. As long as the investigation is in the right direction, useful clues will eventually be found.
When Xu Qingyun investigates a case, he never just focuses on one place.
What if the Japanese gave him cash, such as gold bars, and he didn't deposit it in the bank?
Every possibility must be thought of.
This is Xu Qingyun's second investigation route, working backwards from Hetian.
No matter how much benefit he is given, Kawada will definitely give it to him in the end. The Japanese intelligence department is very strict, and the important mole will not send several people to contact him at the same time.
This mole is in Kawada's own hands. None of his subordinates know it, and there are no more than one person above him who knows about it.
Through the movement of Hetian's funds, we can infer whether the money is in Tao Tianqi's hands.
Kawada is cautious by nature, and it is impossible to have such a flaw on the surface. The most important thing is to investigate the funds he secretly controls.
Those things behind the scenes are the hardest to investigate. Black markets, pawn shops, gold shops, antique shops, private banks, etc. Xu Qingyun sent people to all of them to secretly inquire with Hetian photos to see if he had been to these places.
And this is only a small direction of the investigation, and a lot of manpower has been invested.
The biggest taboo in handling a case is to be impatient. As long as the direction is correct, no matter how big or small, a comprehensive investigation must be carried out.
Investigations in both directions are continuing, with Tao Tianqi being the focus, and half of Xu Qingyun's efforts are currently investigating him.
Including the Intelligence Team 1, the Action Team, and his subordinates in the police station.
Xu Qingyun at the police station has not yet fully digested it. Currently, two classes, Zuo Jinfang and Yi Sheng, are the main force, and other classes will be asked to assist when needed.
Coupled with the fact that Yan Ming, the most outstanding person, went to the front line to investigate Tao Tianqi's past and present, Xu Qingyun believed that Tao Tianqi would not be able to hide for long.
After receiving Cao Yunfeng's order, Shi Guangrong investigated quickly.
He is the captain of the intelligence team, and many things Xu Qingyun has done in the station cannot be concealed.
For example, he interrogated Kawada.
Knowing that Xu Qingyun had interrogated the confessed spy team leader twice in the past few days, Shi Guangrong immediately ran to report to Cao Yunfeng.
"What did he ask both times?"
Cao Yunfeng frowned. Why did Xu Qingyun interrogate a person who had already confessed? Could it be that this person had made a false confession before and was found out by Xu Qingyun?
“I really don’t know about this. Xu Qingyun was interrogated secretly, and no one from the interrogation team was present.”
Shi Guangrong immediately shook his head. He asked the interrogation team, and they all answered unanimously. No one knew what Captain Xu asked.
"Let's go to the interrogation team."
Cao Yunfeng stood up and Xu Qingyun interrogated secretly. It was normal for Shi Guangrong not to ask.
The people on the interrogation team don't know, but someone must know.
"yes."
Shi Guangrong happily followed Cao Yunfeng, and the two went to the interrogation team.
"Team Leader Cao, what brought you here?"
When Fang Laibao, the leader of the interrogation team, saw Cao Yunfeng entering his office, he immediately stood up and took out a cigarette to disperse for them.
"Why, can't I come to your place?"
Cao Yunfeng was already angry in his heart, but when he heard what he said, his face suddenly darkened.
"You misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I meant that you can come and make my little place shine."
Fang came to BMW and explained that Cao Yunfeng had a strong temper. When the previous webmaster was in office, he was the webmaster's most trusted confidant. At that time, the webmaster wanted to promote Cao Yunfeng to deputy webmaster, but because he did not have enough merit, the headquarters did not make the decision.
After the death of the former stationmaster, Peiping took charge of Tianjin.
But Cao Yunfeng actually has the final say here in Tianjin. If his military rank was not only a major, he would have great hope of taking over as the station commander.
Tianjin has been in the hands of Cao Yunfeng for almost half a year, and it has always been true.
"Bring Kawada out to me."
Cao Yunfeng ordered softly. He was the leader of the intelligence team. No matter how disliked he was by the station manager, it would not be difficult to find out some things, not to mention that after Kawada's confession, it was almost semi-public.
Fang Laibao was stunned for a moment and immediately replied: "Captain Cao, Captain Xu has given instructions that no one is allowed to interrogate Hetian except him."
Cao Yunfeng's expression suddenly dropped.
Thank you to the host of Laomeng, Xin Qiuyue, for once again rewarding me with 2,000 starting coins.
