Chapter 75 Check another one
After sending Zuo Jinfang away, Xu Qingyun returned to the Military Intelligence Department.
Yi Xingguang of Xingshun Trading Company is an important clue. Yan Ming is not here, so Xu Qingyun is going to check it in person, but before that he has to check, mainly the time when the pound in Tao Tianqi's hand was deposited in the bank, and whether it matches the time when Hetian purchased the consignment items. superior.
The main thing is whether Yi Xingguang made a deposit in the bank within seven days after receiving the money. If it is correct, this is one of the evidences that Tao Tianqi accepted the bribe from the Japanese.
"That much difference?"
After careful checking, Xu Qingyun frowned. Bank records showed that Tao Tianqi's pounds were deposited into the bank in six installments, with a maximum of one thousand pounds and a minimum of six hundred and fifty pounds. The amount did not match the amount sold by the consignment shop.
The amounts don't match. It's possible that he left some behind but not that much, but the time was very different.
And not just once, but every time.
If there is a delay, it is indeed reasonable to wait for a while before depositing the money after receiving it, but it does not match up every time, and the maximum difference is half a year, which is very abnormal.
Unless you have a temperament like Kawada, he is very cautious.
According to the investigation, Tao Tianqi does not have this kind of personality.
Xu Qingyun immediately realized that his previous guess was wrong. The money Hetian paid to buy calligraphy and paintings at the consignment shop was not for Tao Tianqi.
In addition to Tao Tianqi, he also had other important traitors who instigated rebellion.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to give so much. Three consignments would cost more than 30,000 yuan, which is absolutely generous.
A smile appeared on Xu Qingyun's face.
He had already suspected that Hetian had instigated more than one person to rebel, but Tao Tianqi was probed by him, and the others had not found any useful clues.
Unexpectedly, the clues Zheng Jiming found this time might lead to another traitor in Hetian who instigated rebellion.
Facts have proved that the direction of the investigation is indeed correct. Through large-scale investigations, clues can always be found.
Kawada put on a disguise when he went to buy consignment items, but his face shape was roughly the same, and he went there so many times that anyone who really cared could recognize him.
Don't underestimate the store clerks, they have dealt with too many people, and most people can't hide it from them.
Xu Qingyun drove out alone and soon found Xingshun Trading Company.
The commercial bank is not large in scale and mainly deals in bulk cargo.
Yi Xingguang is the shopkeeper and the boss of the business.
The business volume of such a business house is only a few hundred yuan a month, and the profit is just over a hundred yuan.
After a brief inquiry, Yi Xingguang is in his thirties, fairly honest, and does business as he should.
My parents are away, but I have a younger sister who has already married.
People like him can't provide much help to Kawada, and he won't be the one who instigates rebellion by Kawada.
In a nearby teahouse, Xu Qingyun pretended to be a businessman, invited a few people hanging around to drink tea, and kept chatting with them.
I didn’t ask deliberately, I just inserted a few words from time to time, and soon I heard a lot of useful information.
Yi Xingguang has a good reputation and has never done anything bad. He is a local and grew up here. He has three children and his family lives a happy life.
My sister got married very early and now has two children.
His brother-in-law is employed in the Excise and Taxation Bureau and is the captain of the law enforcement team.
The Goods and Taxation Bureau is equivalent to the taxation bureau. It mainly collects taxes and is very profitable. Yi Xingguang enjoys the glory of his brother-in-law. On weekdays, no one comes to ask him for more taxes. He can earn more than others, and his life is prosperous. .
Apart from his brother-in-law, Yi Xingguang has no other powerful relatives.
After paying the money, Xu Qingyun came to the Goods and Taxation Bureau.
The Excise and Taxation Bureau is a serious government agency with its own tax collection force.
Of course, the combat effectiveness is not very good. There were about fifty or sixty people, and the weapons were mixed, many of them still had old-fashioned guns.
They don't need to fight, they can just scare businesses and raise taxes.
Yi Xingguang's brother-in-law is named Zhu Yihua. He is 26 years old. He has two elder sisters and one younger sister. He is the only child in the family.
Both sisters are married, but the younger sister is not, but she does not live at home.
There are rumors that Zhu Yihua's sister worked as a high-ranking official, so he could join the Goods and Taxation Bureau and soon became the captain of the law enforcement team.
After becoming the captain of the law enforcement team, Zhu Yihua's life became much more luxurious.
If the party prohibits concubinage, many warlords don't care about it, but many warlords don't care about it, and even those who had concubines in the past ignored this prohibition.
Some other people keep concubines instead of concubines.
Buy a house and raise a woman, it's almost like your own home.
After asking about Zhu Yihua's situation, Xu Qingyun immediately thought of a very cute character in a later TV series.
That one had an outside wife and promoted his brother-in-law to his side. The brother-in-law relied on his power to show off his power.
When his subordinates offended a certain big shot, he immediately understood the consequences and closed his eyes.
Sister Zhu Yihua is the key.
In the afternoon, Xu Qingyun returned to the office and sat at his desk. He pulled out a piece of information with a smile on his face.
It is not difficult to find Zhu Yihua's sister. Xu Qingyun has found out the truth and she has become Luo Zuquan's concubine.
Luo Zuquan serves as the deputy secretary-general of the government and is one of the three big figures that Xu Qingyun investigated before. No useful clues have been found yet, but he did not expect to make trouble on Zheng Jiming's side.
It seems that Hetian also instigated his rebellion and paid Luo Zuquan benefits through consignment.
What information did Luo Zuquan provide that was so valuable?
Luo Zuquan had deposits in the bank, but not much. They were basically in US dollars and not in pounds. It seems that he did not deposit the pounds directly into the bank or convert them into US dollars.
Luo Zuquan is not in the army, but he has a high rank and a wide network of contacts. He cannot be taken lightly when dealing with him.
"Luo Zuquan?"
After Wu Shaoshu listened to Xu Qingyun's report, he asked in astonishment, how long has it been since Xu Qingyun found another one?
"Yes, my old police department has photos of Kawada..."
Xu Qingyun reported the investigation process in detail. Luo Zuquan was their unexpected gain. The original focus of the investigation was Tao Tianqi, but Luo Zuquan was brought into the net.
"Your old police department is very good. I will report it immediately and you can find a way to keep an eye on Luo Zuquan."
After listening to the report, Wu Shaoshu immediately replied that Luo Zuquan's level was indeed not low, and those who touched people like him needed to be reported.
"Yes, stationmaster."
The matter to be reported was handed over to Wu Shaoshu. He was only the deputy team leader. Even if he was found out, he would not have the power to arrest people like Luo Zuquan.
It all depends on what is said above.
Xu Qingyun did not return to the office, but came to the interrogation team and brought Hetian out again.
After a few days of recovery, Kawada is feeling better.
Seeing Hetian, Xu Qingyun smiled. This person was indeed very capable. He had at least instigated the rebellion of two high-ranking officials, one in the government and one in the military.
Let’s not talk about the role they can play in wartime. It’s just confidential information, so I don’t know how much they have harvested.
Luo Zuquan is the deputy secretary-general. He knows almost everything in the government, big and small, and can even influence some policies. With Luo Zuquan inside and Tao Tianqi outside, if these two people cooperated during the war, they could almost give away a city.
