Chapter 1378 'Unexpected Gains'
"Captain, Team Leader Cao has checked into Cangzhou Hotel." The subordinate reported to Hu Sishui.
"Which room did you book?" Hu Sishui asked.
"Room 204."
Hu Sishui glanced at Dong Zhengguo and asked, "Brother Dong, do you have anything to ask?"
"Brother Zhai, does Team Leader Cao have any message to send?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
"Team Leader Cao said, don't worry about him, just do our job here," said Zhai Maoxiang.
"Okay." Hu Sishui nodded.
Hu Sishui waved his hand and said, "Bring Ji Pei here."
Soon, a man with tape on his nose was brought in.
"Captain Hu." Ji Pei nodded and bowed, "Team Leader Dong."
"You said that Director Chen asked you to keep an eye on the Cangzhou Hotel. Think about it carefully. Do you have any more specific instructions?" Dong Zhengguo asked.
Chen Mingchu, He Xingjian and others were assassinated at the gate of Zhaofeng General Association. Li Cuiqun firmly believed that Wang Tiemu was suspected of treason and assassination, and sent Ma Tianxun to investigate the case.
In private, Li Cuiqun arranged for Hu Sishui and Dong Zhengguo to secretly investigate the case together.
It was at this time that Chen Mingchu's subordinate Ji Pei came into the sight of the two.
Ji Pei reported one thing: Chen Mingchu asked him to secretly monitor the Cangzhou Hotel before his death, and report to him immediately if there were any abnormal behaviors.
At the beginning, Hu Sishui took this situation seriously and at the same time didn't take it seriously.
The reason for his attention was that he speculated that Chen Mingchu had discovered that anti-Japanese elements were active in the Cangzhou Hotel, so he arranged for his men to conduct secret surveillance.
In this way, Chen Mingchu is dead, and this fruit that seems to be about to mature belongs to him, Hu.
The reason for not taking it seriously was that he did not think this incident had any connection with the assassination of Chen Mingchu.
However, after questioning Ji Pei, Dong Zhengguo got a detail:
Chen Mingchu repeatedly reminded Ji Pei that even if he found anything unusual in Cangzhou Hotel, he could only report it to him and must not reveal it to anyone else.
It is not uncommon within the secret service to want to keep a clue to oneself and hide it from others.
However, after Dong Zhengguo thought about it carefully, he felt that there was something fishy about it.
When one reaches Chen Mingchu’s level, there are not many people who can take away his credit.
Chen Mingchu doesn't have to worry too much about this matter. He just needs to say hello to Deputy Director Li or even Director Ding in advance, and no one else will touch this case.
In other words, there is no need for Chen Mingchu to be so mysterious.
And most importantly, after Dong Zhengguo's extensive questioning, it was found that no other brothers were ordered to secretly monitor the Cangzhou Hotel.
So, this is problematic.
If it was an important target or important intelligence, Chen Mingchu's most correct choice would be to send more people to monitor the Cangzhou Hotel from all directions. Judging from Chen Mingchu's mysterious attitude, it was obvious that he attached great importance to this matter.
But in fact, Chen Mingchu only arranged Ji Pei to secretly monitor Cangzhou Hotel.
This is inconsistent and irrational.
Dong Zhengguo told Hu Sishui about his suspicions, and Hu Sishui agreed with them.
Hu Sishui reported the matter to Li Cuiqun, who personally made the decision and arranged for Hu Sishui, Dong Zhengguo and Cao Yu to jointly investigate the matter.
Hu Sishui believes in Feng Shui, and especially attaches great importance to the theory of incompatibility between people's fortunes.
Therefore, Hu Sishui could not say that he believed it completely about Cao Yu's claim that he was harming his master, but at least he believed it 99%. Therefore, he was unwilling to work with Cao Yu on the case.
So, Hu Sishui had an idea and arranged for Cao Yu to act independently and separately from them.
……
Ji Pei didn't know more.
Even though this person had been monitoring the Cangzhou Hotel for some time, he said that he did not find anything unusual.
Hu Sishui stared at the man for a few seconds, and finally he confirmed that the man was not deliberately doing something wrong, but was just stupid.
"Brother Dong, tell me what you think." Hu Sishui said.
"I still hold on to my previous opinion." Dong Zhengguo said thoughtfully, "Director Chen is so cautious, there must be something fishy here."
He glanced at Hu Sishui and explained, "I don't doubt that Director Chen has any problems, but Director Chen's behavior is indeed a bit strange."
"Okay, no need to be so cautious. Chen Mingchu is already dead. What can't you say?" Hu Sishui glared at Dong Zhengguo and said, "Just say it. Don't worry about it."
Dong Zhengguo smiled bitterly and said, "My intuition is--"
He considered the choice of words and finally used the word "to cover up and to show off" to describe it.
"What does it mean that fish prices will rise?" Hu Sishui asked.
"That is to say, Director Chen seems to be hiding something." Dong Zhengguo looked at Hu Sishui again and finally said, "Hiding something that is not to be seen in public."
"Cheating?" Hu Sishui's eyes lit up. If this was the topic, he would know a lot. "You mean Chen Mingchu was having an affair with a woman in Cangzhou Hotel?"
Then, Hu Sishui really understood. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, now Chen Mingchu has sent people to secretly monitor Cangzhou Hotel, so it should be——"
"Caught an adulterer!" Hu Sishui slapped his thigh. "It must be caught an adulterer. Chen Mingchu's woman must have cheated on him outside, and he arranged for his men to catch the adulterer."
Dong Zhengguo glanced at Hu Sishui. He couldn't understand his normal explanation. According to the agent's logical analysis, was it so difficult to understand?
How did it get involved in relationships between men and women? Adultery, cuckoldry, and adultery all came up.
Apart from other things, if he just suspected that Chen Mingchu was arranging his men to help him catch an adulterer, there was no need to report this matter. How idle and disloyal must Dong Zhengguo be to dig up this shady matter when Chen Mingchu had already "died for his country"? !
Therefore, what he doubts must be something valuable.
Seeing Dong Zhengguo's stunned look, Hu Sishui burst into laughter.
He patted Dong Zhengguo on the shoulder and said, "Okay, brother Dong, I won't joke with you anymore."
He asked Dong Zhengguo, "So, Brother Dong, you also suspect that Chen Mingchu is secretly monitoring Wang Tiemu?"
Dong Zhengguo looked at Hu Sishui with a shocked expression.
"Why? You didn't expect me to be so smart?" Hu Sishui laughed. "Although I haven't read much, I like to listen to operas."
Dong Zhengguo was indeed extremely shocked.
He was indeed shocked by Hu Sishui's words, but the reason for his shock was that he had never considered the possibility that Hu Sishui mentioned.
He had previously suspected and speculated that Chen Mingchu had discovered an important target in Chongqing, but Chen Mingchu chose to conceal it and did not even consider arresting him. Was he waiting for a good price? Or was he trying to sell it to Chongqing and play both sides?
However, Hu Sishui's speculation now gave Dong Zhengguo a new direction for thinking.
Is Chen Mingchu secretly monitoring Wang Tiemu?
Is this reasonable?
This doesn't seem reasonable.
But, on reflection, this seems to make sense:
Wang Tiemu's surrender was forced; he was betrayed by Chen Mingchu.
To say that Wang Tiemu never hated Chen Mingchu at all? Dong Zhengguo thought that was impossible.
Well, Chen Mingchu obviously understood this as well.
Therefore, Chen Mingchu would arrange people to secretly monitor Wang Tiemu. Regardless of whether Chen Mingchu wanted to deal with Wang Tiemu, at least this was a preventive surveillance.
Then, looking at Hu Sishui's happy expression and thinking about the fact that Hu Sishui was an absolute confidant of Deputy Director Li, Dong Zhengguo understood more:
Deputy Director Li insisted that Wang Tiemu had rebelled and believed that Wang Tiemu was the mastermind behind the assassination of the Zhaofeng General Association.
Ma Tianxun's investigation is to collect evidence to support it.
So, is Hu Sishui's secret investigation really a search for the truth?
Or, to find the truth that Deputy Director Li is looking forward to?
Chen Mingchu monitors the Cangzhou Hotel.
Chen Mingchu was secretly monitoring Wang Tiemu.
Chen Mingchu discovered a secret—there was something wrong with Wang Tiemu!
Wang Tiemu discovered that Chen Mingchu had discovered himself.
Wang Tiemu took action.
Wang Tiemu's trusted adjutant Mengketu and Wang Tiemu's bodyguard Ding Lingjin took action.
There is only one target, and that is Chen Mingchu.
As for why He Xingjian was also killed, there are two possibilities.
First, its purpose is to muddy the waters.
Secondly, He Xingjian's status and level are worthy of being eliminated together with the others.
Dong Zhengguo clicked his tongue. He was surprised to find that although he could not rule out the possibility (almost certainly) that Deputy Director Li deliberately arranged for Hu Sishui to use the Cangzhou Hotel incident to get close to Wang Tiemu.
However, from a logical point of view, this actually makes sense, and can even be said to be very reasonable.
Then, Dong Zhengguo smiled bitterly in his heart. He was arranged by Li Cuiqun to investigate the case with Hu Sishui. He actually naively thought that Deputy Director Li was going to find the truth secretly.
I am so silly.
"Go, secretly interrogate the people in Cangzhou Hotel and ask them to identify the person." Hu Sishui ignored Dong Zhengguo who fell into silence. He took out photos of Wang Tiemu and Chen Mingchu and asked his men to interrogate them secretly.
Then, Hu Sishui glanced at Dong Zhengguo again. What did this guy mean?
Do you really think he is a fool and can't see clearly?
So you were shocked?
Or are you just unable to accept Mr. Hu's intelligence?
……
"Open your eyes wide and look carefully. Have you seen these two people?"
"If you know about this but don't report it, then you better pray that I don't find out."
"At that time, it was easy to enter the door of No. 76, but it was difficult to leave."
Cao Yu stood at the door, with the door behind him ajar. He was waiting for the agents from the secret service headquarters to come up and question him.
rough.
He glanced at Shi Yonglun who was leading the team.
This man was Hu Sishui's subordinate. He used to work in the Shanghai Public Security Bureau and was from the Green Gang. After the fall of Shanghai, he was absorbed into the Central Bureau of Investigation and then naturally joined No. 76.
"never seen it."
"never seen it."
"never seen it."
"I've seen you, ngu." said a young man dressed as a waiter at Cangzhou Hotel.
"Which one have you seen?" Shi Yonglun was overjoyed and walked over to ask.
"That's it, last name..." the waiter said, but was stopped by Shi Yonglun's gaze. He even 'successfully' said it back, "I don't know the last name, but I know it's this person."
'It's so fake.'
Cao Yu shook his head in his heart.
Is this the level of the capable players that Captain Hu carefully selected?
……
Cao Yu didn't say anything. He was very cautious, with an expression like a tenant who was involved in something serious and was trembling with fear for getting into trouble.
Today he was pretending to be a tenant to conduct an 'undercover' investigation, and his actual job was to be a witness.
His testimony, as a person who had managed to survive the assassination attempt at the Zhaofeng Association, was still quite credible.
"When did you see this person?" Shi Yonglun asked immediately.
The waiter gave a time according to the instructions given in advance.
Shi Yonglun was overjoyed and continued asking.
The waiter continued to answer.
Cao Yu saw it all clearly from the sidelines. Based on the waiter's testimony alone, Wang Tiemu was doomed to be cleared of suspicion.
This is not over yet.
Another guest staying at Cangzhou Hotel testified that he had seen Wang Tiemu.
An agent from the 76th came over to take a statement 'surprisingly'.
"Too much is as bad as too little." Cao Yu shook his head in his heart.
Even if one wants to "prove" that Wang Tiemu has a problem, one eyewitness is enough. Too many would be bad.
A veteran agent like Wang Tiemu was secretly meeting with someone in Cangzhou Hotel and was seen by two people, one of whom was a tenant. The tenant even vaguely heard the word "anyway".
This is just too much of a joke.
"Sir, have you seen these two people?" An Agent No. 76 walked over and asked Cao Yu.
"Boss, I haven't seen him." Cao Yu said, "I just moved in today."
At this time, Cao Yu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He lowered his voice and said, almost gritting his teeth, "Stupid, you are too polite."
This person is his subordinate.
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Cao Yu would have been so angry that he wanted to slap him in the face.
"Okay, you have nothing to do now." The subordinate immediately understood, and he waved to his team leader and said.
……
"What did you find out?" Zhai Maoxiang came over to inquire about the situation.
"A waiter and a tenant have met Director Wang," said Shi Yonglun.
"Is it sure?" Zhai Maoxiang frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, this is the transcript." Shi Yonglun handed the transcript to Zhai Maoxiang.
"Hiss——" Zhai Maoxiang flipped through the transcript and suddenly took a breath of cold air, "Is this really true?"
As he spoke, he closed the blue folder with a click, "I'll take the transcript and the witness with me."
"Okay." Shi Yonglun nodded and said.
Just at this time, a voice was heard from the place where other people were being interrogated as if going through the motions.
"I have seen this person before."
Shi Yonglun and Zhai Maoxiang both turned their heads subconsciously to look over there.
The person who spoke was a waiter.
Zhai Maoxiang was delighted that someone actually saw Wang Tiemu here. It was really a coincidence that Qiao'er's mother opened the door for Qiao'er.
Shi Yonglun also looked happy.
He walked over directly and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
He pointed at Wang Tiemu in the photo and asked.
"It's Director Chen." The interrogating agent whispered a reminder.
"No, it's this." The waiter also said.
Shi Yonglun was stunned.
Seeing this, Zhai Maoxiang also took two steps over and asked, "What's going on?"
"This man identified Director Chen." Shi Yonglun pulled Zhai Maoxiang aside and spoke in a low voice.
