Chapter 373 Eyebrows
"Have you found out who Shen Wen is working for?"

Hearing this, Lao Xu asked.

"No, no one knows that person, and he doesn't come here often." Zhu Yongyang shook his head.

"Every time he comes to the ghost market, he is wrapped up tightly, even in summer, and..."

Zhu Yongyang paused and thought for a while, only three or five seconds, and then continued: "According to the brother I arranged over there, he has seen this person about five or six times, but his figure is different each time.

Sometimes he is fat, sometimes he is thin, sometimes he is tall, sometimes he is short, and the time he is short he even has a hunchback, so even though we have seen this person several times, no one knows whether he is tall, short, fat or thin.

"Then how did your brother know that this was the same person?" Lao Xu asked with some confusion.

"The voice. Although this guy's image keeps changing, the voice he speaks never changes. He has a very distinct southern accent. Because we don't hear it often, my brother remembers this voice very clearly."

"Southern accent?"

Li Yancheng and Lao Xu felt a sinking feeling in their hearts at the same time.

This was intentional. The voice of the person Zhu Yongyang mentioned must be fake. Coupled with the constantly changing body shape, it goes without saying that he was 100% professionally trained.

Unexpectedly, a suspected undercover person was found in this shooting case.

The appearance of this suspected lurker made the shooting case even more confusing.

The two looked at each other in some surprise and doubt.

"Yongyang, has your brother seen what that person looks like?"

After retracting his gaze, Lao Xu was just about to ask Zhu Yongyang something else when Li Yancheng spoke first.

"No, that person always wrapped himself up very tightly. Except for his eyes, no other part of his body was exposed."

???

"He...even wears gloves? He doesn't wear short sleeves in summer?" Li Yancheng asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Zhu Yongyang nodded: “I don’t know if you have ever been to the ghost market, but when you buy and sell things there, you can’t point the flashlight at people.

Yan Cheng thought, it was night, there was only a faint light, and he was wrapped so tightly, no one could see whether the man's skin was white or black. "

Of course Li Yancheng had been to the ghost market, but he had only been to two places, one was near his previous unit, and the other was not far from home.

He knew what the situation was there, but just because he knew it, he believed that the guy who was suspected to be a lurker would definitely arouse the curiosity of some people.

In the ghost market, what is most lacking is bold and daring people.

"Yongyang, has your brother never been curious about that person?"

"Of course I hadn't been curious before. Not only was I curious, I had also followed people before. But every time I was left behind within a kilometer. One time, my brother even arranged several people to wait at an intersection, but they were left behind every time.

Because I had told them to try not to cause trouble, so after seeing that he was indeed an expert, they never followed him again after that incident.

Last night I also asked another local boss named Xiao Kun in that ghost market. Xiao Kun's real name is Guo Kun. He is in his thirties and is very well-known in the area where Taifeng and Wen Chong meet.

He told me that he also hired someone to follow that guy, but the result was the same, he was dumped not long after, but..."

"But what?"

"But he said he heard from someone that there was a Buddhist master named Sun San who once followed that person. He didn't know whether there was any specific result. I have already sent someone to find this Buddhist master."

"Have you found out who this person has contacted in the ghost market?"

Lao Xu's question immediately made Zhu Yongyang's face look strange.

He looked at Li Yancheng and then at Lao Xu.

"Leader, this is actually the main point I want to talk about today. After my brothers' investigation last night, including Shen Wen who died the day before yesterday afternoon, the four people who had contact with that person... are all dead.

There were three other people named: Li Ru, who worked at the Wen Chong District Education Committee; Mi Guangzhi, who worked at the Taifeng Military Clothing Factory; and Zhao Dajiang, who was a staff member of the Yangchao Committee.

Leaders, you all know how Shen Wen died. There was also Mi Guangzhi, who was an employee of a military factory. He died at the end of November last year. I heard that the military is investigating his death, but I haven't heard of the final result.

As for Li Ru and Zhao Dajiang, they both seemed to have died of illness. At least that’s what the hospital said. Both died of heart disease.”

I'll wipe it! ! !
What Zhu Yongyang said made Li Yancheng and Lao Xu very certain that the man must be a lurker and there was no way he could escape.

The four people who died were probably seduced by him into doing something illegal and criminal.

As for why they should be killed, there are many reasons.

It is possible that they are worried that the information will be leaked, or it is possible that they are no longer of any use to them so they want to get rid of them once and for all.

It is also possible that these four people were lured into helping him at first and did not know what they were doing. Later, after they found out what they were doing, they wanted to turn themselves in and report it, so they were killed.

In short, there are many reasons.

As for the claim that the two people died of heart disease, no one would believe it. It is very likely that some means were used and the hospital did not discover it.

Ok!

After recording this passage, Li Yancheng, who was in charge of recording, used a pen to make two strokes on the previous record, and crossed out the two words "suspected" that he had just recorded.

It is now basically certain.

Sun San!

His eyes fell on the name.

"Old Zhu, you just said that the Buddhist master named Sun San also followed this mysterious man, right?"

"Yes, I have asked my brothers to find this person. If nothing unexpected happens..."

"dong dong dong"

"report"

Before Zhu Yongyang finished speaking, there were knocks on the door and the sound of reporting outside the meeting room.

"Come in"

Lao Xu turned his head and looked towards the door.

"Director, two people came to the gate. One is Zhang Jiufu and the other is Sun Shan. They said they were looking for Section Chief Li."

"Leader, Yan Cheng, Sun Shan is the Buddha named Sun San that I mentioned."

"Daming, register the two people and bring them over."

After hearing Zhu Yongyang's words, Lao Xu turned around and said to the officer on duty who came to report.

"Yes"

Soon, two people were brought in.

Unlike Xiaojiu who had been here many times and acted very calmly, the Buddhist monk named Sun Shan was almost carried in by Xiaojiu.

There's no way, my legs are so weak that I can hardly walk.

That's right. Even people with nothing to hide don't like dealing with people from the Social Affairs Bureau, let alone coming to this unit. For someone like him who often does illegal things, it would be terrifying to come here.

But I'm not interested in his sneaky activities.

Seeing that the person had arrived, he immediately started questioning.

"Sun San, do you know why I asked you to come here?"

The questioning started with Li Yancheng. Seeing that this guy was too nervous, he stood up and handed him a cigarette.

After lighting the cigarette with some trembling hands using the match in Li Yancheng's hand, Sun San nodded.

"I know...I know. Brother Nine...Brother Nine told me."

This guy is already over 30 years old, but he calls Xiaojiu, who is much younger than him, "brother" in a very crisp voice.

"Well, you don't have to be nervous. We don't care about the little things you do.

We just want to know about that person.”

"I understand. I understand the government. Don't worry. I will tell you everything I know."

When Sun San saw that the person who was asking him the questions was quite kind and not only gave him a cigarette but also poured him a cup of hot water, his nervousness and fear immediately dissipated a lot.

"That person... I did follow that person, and not just once, but twice in total." Sun San said as he raised his left hand and pointed two fingers at Li Yancheng.

"The first time I followed him I followed him out of the ghost market, but I lost him not long after. The second time was a complete coincidence. It was the night before New Year's Day. It was around nine o'clock in the evening..."

Just as he got to this point, Li Yancheng suddenly interrupted and asked, "Sun San, didn't you follow him in the ghost market the second time?"

"No, the government. The second time I saw him was in Chongwen."

After explaining, Sun San stopped and looked at Li Yancheng. Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, he continued talking.

"That night I was drinking at a friend's house. His house was on the upper third street of the flower market, and mine was on the middle fourth street of the flower market. After I left his house and went home, I happened to run into two people when I reached an intersection.

An old man was asking another person for directions. I had drunk a little too much at the time, so I didn't pay much attention and just walked past the two of them.

As soon as I walked over, I heard another person saying a few words, giving directions to the old man. Although he spoke with our local accent, not the southern accent he had at the ghost market, I couldn't forget that familiar voice. It was him."

"Why are you so familiar with his voice?"

It is not easy to remember a stranger's voice, especially when this person's accent has changed, Li Yancheng asked with some doubt.

"Uh...hey...hehe." Sun San smiled awkwardly.

"No... I won't hide it from the government. I... I did that to that person before in the ghost market..."

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, stretched out his index and middle fingers, and made the number two as before.

The difference is that this time the two fingers are movable and can be pinched.

Seeing Sun San's gestures, Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing, waiting for him to continue.

"That time, I just put my hand into his pocket and he grabbed it. He was very strong and squeezed it like that, almost breaking my finger."

Speaking of this, Sun San still felt a lingering fear. This was not the first or second time that the Buddha had been beaten, and he had been in and out of jail many times over the years.

But it can be seen that the person left a very deep impression on him, which is why his face still changes color when he thinks about it even though some time has passed.

"After that time when that man pinched my finger, he spoke a few words to me face to face. Although he still used the southern accent, he used our local accent for a few words, which was very authentic.

At that time, I knew that this person must have deliberately pretended to have a southern accent, and because of this, I have a very deep memory of his voice. "

"Let's continue with the previous story about the second time you followed him." Li Yancheng nodded.

"When I heard that familiar voice, I didn't think much of it at first. I was still quite scared of him, so I continued walking towards home, but I didn't expect that he was going the same way as me.

I was a little worried at the time. I was worried that he might have recognized me and wanted to do something to me. But when I turned into the alley near my home, I found that he didn't follow me, but continued walking forward. "

"Did you see clearly what he looks like along the way?"

“I see clearly”

"Can you describe it?"

"Uh... just... just very ordinary. I can't really describe it, but I will definitely recognize it if I see it again."

"Is that person tall?"

"Not tall, not tall." Sun San shook his head. "About the same height as me. When the old man asked him for directions, I walked past him from behind and took a quick glance at him." "Stand up so I can see."

"Oh." Sun San stood up obediently and stood there upright.

About 1.72 meters tall.

With just one glance, Li Yancheng immediately determined his height. In order to avoid any mistake, he stood up, walked over, opened the door, and asked someone to bring a ruler to measure it.

That’s right, I’m 1.72 cm tall with shoes on.

After taking a look at the cotton shoes on Sun San's feet, Li Yancheng wrote down the number in his notebook.

"Sit down, how fat or thin is that person?"

"She's thin. You can't tell because she's wearing a cotton coat, but from her face, she looks thinner than me."

"Is there anything special about your face?"

"No...no, just a very ordinary one."

"After reaching the entrance of the alley where your home is, you said he continued walking forward without stopping. Did you then turn around and follow him?"

"Hey, yes..."

"Go on with your story of stalking him."

"There's nothing special. He went to the enamel factory on Chongwenmen East Street. He should be working there. I saw him say hello to the guard when he went in."

I……

Li Yancheng and Lao Xu were both stunned. What did it mean to get something without any effort?

"You said you could recognize people when you saw them, right?"

At this time, Lao Xu suddenly asked.

"Yes, I can't tell it if you ask me, but I can definitely recognize the person if I see him." This guy was almost clapping his hands.

"Okay." Lao Xu nodded, stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

It's easy now that we know the location. It won't take long to transfer the information of all the cadres and employees of Wen Chong Enamel Factory.

At this time, Li Yancheng also thought of what Jin Zhihai had said to him on the phone before dinner about the coal slag, so he asked Zhu Yongyang and the other three to sit down first and went out.

……

Jin Zhihai and his team are facing some difficulties now.

It's easy to look up information and retrieve files, but the problem is that there are too many people who have access to that kind of coal, and they now feel like a tiger trying to eat the sky but has nowhere to start.

Using the clumsy method of collecting everyone's footprints and comparing them with those left at the scene, the work can continue. But even without comparing them, it will probably take an eternity to finish just collecting those footprints.

Just when Jin Zhihai was discussing with their team leader Lu whether there was any simpler method, Li Yancheng called.

"Zhi Hai, it's me."

"What's wrong, Dacheng?"

"Old Zhu brought us the news. To make it short, check if the Wenchong District Enamel Factory uses the industrial coal from Xishan Province."

"Okay, wait a moment." Jin Zhihai put the receiver under his ear, reached out and took the notebook on the table to look at it carefully.

Soon he saw the name of Wen Chong Enamel Factory.

"Yes, there is this factory, Dacheng. Is the gunman in this factory?"

Jin Zhihai's words made Lu Fangyang stand up immediately.

"It's still too early to confirm, but the possibility is very high. Lao Zhu found a person who had followed the guy who had contact with Shen Wen in the ghost market.

How should I put it? This person is very mysterious, a bit like a lurker. Our leader has now arranged for people to retrieve the files of all the cadres and employees of the enamel factory.

The person brought by Lao Zhu has seen the appearance of the mysterious man, so we plan to let him identify him through the photo first.

So, you report this to your leader, and seal off the enamel factory first, allowing only people in but not out for the time being. Also check out those who are on vacation today and are not in the factory, and find out their specific addresses.

As far as I remember, there aren't many people working in this factory. If nothing unexpected happens, the identification work won't take too long and it will definitely be done this afternoon.

A letter requesting your assistance will be sent later.”

A lot of the work of the Social Affairs Bureau requires the cooperation of the public security, but it must be in the form of formal documents. If the situation is urgent, it can even be a backup.

"Okay, I understand. Our team leader and I will report to the director now."

"Well, we'll let you know as soon as we finish identifying them. I'll hang up now."

"it is good"

……

"It's him, no doubt about it, it's definitely him. If you're mistaken, I'll keep these two eyes."

"Get lost. What do we need your eyes for? Are you sure it's him?"

"Definitely no problem with the government, it must be him."

"Then take a look at this again."

"Uh...this...this...they are twins, they look so alike.

Government, look, this man is called Hou Erqiang, and that one is called Hou Daqiang, they are definitely brothers.

The man I saw that night must have been one of these brothers."

At 3 p.m. on January 31, the information of all the cadres and employees on duty at the enamel factory was sent to the Operations Department 1.

He didn't care about anything else and just asked Sun San to identify the person by looking at the one-inch bare-head photo in the file.

There were not many employees in the enamel factory, only a little over a hundred, and Sun San quickly recognized the person he was looking for.

But what was a little surprising was that the people they were looking for were actually the relatively rare twins.

But it doesn’t matter how many children I have, I have to bring them back anyway.

……

"Erqiang, the director wants you to go out for a while."

"now?"

"right"

"it is good"

When Hou Erqiang took off his gloves and just walked out of the workshop, before he had time to greet the workshop director who was standing not far outside the workshop gate, he was choked from behind and knocked to the ground.

Then he felt his head being pressed firmly to the ground, as well as his back, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Uh...uh...who are you?"

He struggled to resist, but it was all in vain.

He didn't know how many people were pressing down on him, but he found it difficult to even move a finger.

Just then, he saw someone walking up to him.

Soon, the force that had been pressing on his head weakened a lot.

Just as he was about to raise his head, he suddenly felt his hair being grabbed. With a tearing sensation on his scalp, his head was pulled up by his hair.

Now he finally saw who the person was who had just walked in front of him.

But when he saw clearly who this person was, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and his originally red face turned pale in an instant.

"Very good. From the change in your facial expression, I know you recognized me. It seems we have caught the right person."

The person standing in front of Hou Erqiang, pulling his hair and lifting his head up was Li Yancheng.

When he saw this guy's expression slightly changed when he saw him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm glad I didn't catch the wrong person! He didn't think he was famous enough to recognize just anyone.

Before seeing the change in Hou Erqiang's expression, Li Yancheng was very nervous.

It would be a real bummer if something went wrong with such a big event.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Hou Erqiang's eyes were filled with despair.

Ruined!
At this time, this was the only voice left in his head.

"Look carefully, Hou Erqiang. We are from the Social Affairs Bureau. You should know clearly why we arrested you, so don't cry about injustice. Take this opportunity to think carefully about how to explain yourself.

Actively cooperate with us, and you can suffer less."

After making sure that he had not arrested the wrong person, Li Yancheng took out his work ID and showed it to Hou Erqiang.

Then he loosened his hand that was pulling the guy's hair and wiped it on Hou's clothes.

My hair is very oily and I don’t know how long it has been since I last washed it.

"take away"

After standing up, Li Yancheng waved his hand, signaling to take the person away.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Erqiang was pulled up from the ground.

At this time, his hands were handcuffed behind his back.

After being pulled up, Hou Erqiang discovered that there were many people standing in the factory yard.

There were leaders and colleagues in the factory, all of whom looked at him in surprise and talked about him in a whisper.

There were also many fully armed public security personnel holding guns.

Just then, he saw a policeman walking towards him with a black cloth bag in his hand. Before he could react, he saw the policeman raising his arm.

Soon, everything went dark before his eyes.

It turned out that this black cloth bag was prepared to cover his head.

At this time, Li Yancheng had already walked up to the director of the enamel factory and extended his right hand.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Director Du. We have taken the person away. We will give you a status report later."

"You're welcome, Chief Li. It's my duty, it's my duty."

If he was facing the police, or even the municipal police, this Factory Director Du would dare to say a few more words, but facing the social affairs bureau...

Forget it. He doesn't have the courage to offend these people.

Letting go of Director Du's hand, Li Yancheng walked over to greet the leaders from the Municipal Bureau and Wen Chong Branch, then walked towards the workshop gate.

There, several people in public security uniforms were squatting there, looking at the traces on the ground and discussing something.
