Chapter 391 Blurred Clues
It is very likely that there are still lurkers in Beijing, and they are hiding very deeply!
Listening to the banging sound coming from outside the window and looking at the vague clues recorded in the notebook, Li Yancheng narrowed his eyes.

This clue was sent back to Beijing as soon as it was obtained. I think they have already started an investigation, but...

Li Yancheng raised his hand and pinched his nose bridge with a headache. This clue was too vague.

The clues provided by the undercover agent who was caught in Yangcheng only indicate that during the Spring Festival, a secret order from Hong Kong Island seemed to be directly passed to Beijing.

As for who in Beijing the order was sent to, no one knows, and the content of the order is certainly not clear.

The most important thing is that this person is not actually sure whether there is this secret order or not.

He just happened to see a person that day. In his memory, that person was from the headquarters and was responsible for delivering expedited secret orders.

Ordinary secret orders are usually sent from headquarters to their Yangcheng group, and then they are conveyed to other groups by letter or other relatively safe means.

But expedited orders are different. They are delivered personally by people from the headquarters from Hong Kong Island and will not pass through them.

The reason why he thought that the secret order was sent to Beijing City was because the person at the headquarters he accidentally saw was the one in charge of that area.

After getting this clue, the people in Yangcheng investigated at the post office and were able to prove that during the time period specified by the person, there were indeed two long-distance calls from Yangcheng to Beijing.

Unfortunately, the person answering the call also used the post office's shared phone. It was almost impossible for Beijing to find out who answered the call during that time period in this era without cameras.

In addition, a month has passed. Even if we can find the person who used the phone after the two calls, this person may not remember who was in front of him at the time.

Closing the notebook in his hand, Li Yancheng turned his head to look out the car window, watching the scenery outside receding backwards, then reached out to pick up the cigarette on the small table and lit one for himself.

It is not surprising that there are still lurkers in Beijing. Such people are always present.

What they have to do is to catch those people who hide in the sewers and cannot see the sunlight one by one.

After receiving the vague clues reported by Yangcheng, Su Xiaotong and his team began to search for the person who made and received calls using the two phones in different post offices that day.

But too much time had passed. Even with the help of the post office staff, three people were found who had called more than an hour after that time period. However, these three people had no memory of the person who called before them.

"Director Su, I think if it really doesn't work, we have to wait for Yan Cheng to come back and help these three people recall their past."

After the third person from the unit provided by the post office came out and got into the car, Zhou Jianwen, the deputy captain of the team that came out with Su Xiaotong, spoke.

"Alas... this is the only way. I don't know when Yan Cheng will be able to come back."

Su Xiaotong seemed a little annoyed. Ever since receiving the report from Yangcheng the day before yesterday, the first department had started investigating without stopping.

The staff of the two post offices verified the phone numbers found through the communication records one by one, and finally found three people who had used the phone calls not far from the time period reported.

But all three people have been questioned now. How to say it, too much time has passed, more than a month, more than forty days. When they found these three people, one of them even forgot that he had gone to the post office to make a phone call during the Chinese New Year.

If he even forgot that he had made the phone call, how can you expect him to remember who else had made a phone call there at that time of day?

Currently, only these three people can be traced back through the calls made on that day. The other calls made on that day were all public phones.

Now, in addition to continuing to trace those phone calls, as Zhou Jianwen said, we can only wait for Li Yancheng to come back and help these three people recall what happened that day.

"Okay, Jianwen, let's drive back first..."

Before Su Xiaotong could finish his words, he saw the third person they had just found, Yin Guotao, running out of the unit gate in a hurry.

When Yin Guotao ran out and saw that their car had not left yet, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and he ran towards the car while waving.

"Director Su, this... could it be that he has remembered something?"

"It should be. Get off."

As he spoke, Su Xiaotong had already opened the car door and walked out. Zhou Jianwen, who was in the driver's seat, also hurriedly opened the door and got out.

"Public Security...comrades, huh...it's a good thing you haven't left yet." Yin Guotao ran breathlessly to Su Xiaotong who had just got off the car.

You can tell how fast he ran by looking at his heavy breathing.

"Comrade Yin Guotao, have you remembered anything?" Su Xiaotong asked anxiously.

"Huh...don't...let me...let me catch my breath."

After running over, Yin Guotao held onto a tree trunk on the roadside with one hand, waved his other hand, and then took four or five deep breaths in succession, which made his breathing a little more even.

"Oh, I haven't run for a long time. I was worried... worried that you would leave. I ran very fast for the past 100 meters. I felt... I felt like I couldn't catch my breath."

The person has already come over. It doesn't make any difference whether he says it two minutes earlier or later. Seeing that he was breathing so heavily, Su Xiaotong and Zhou Jianwen didn't rush him. They just waited quietly.

"Huh...I feel much better now that I've had a rest."

"Don't worry, Comrade Yin Guotao. Rest for a while and catch your breath first."

Su Xiaotong smiled and patted his arm, then reached out and took out a cigarette and gave one to each of the three people.

After lighting a cigarette, Yin Guotao's breathing had completely returned to normal.

"Comrade Gong'an, this is what happened. After you left, I recalled the situation carefully. I remembered a person. He is Zheng Guangrong, the Gong'an from our local police station. I remember seeing him once when I went to make a phone call.

But he and I were not in the same queue. However, I went to the post office and made two phone calls last month, one was the one you asked about, and the other was at the end of the month.

I can't remember exactly when I met Zheng Gongan at the post office, but I'm sure I met him. Why don't you go ask him? "

"Is this the police officer Zheng Guangrong from the police station in your factory area?"

"right"

"Please point me to where the local police station is."

"It's easy to find. Follow this road and turn right at the second intersection. Then turn left at the first alley and you'll see it."

"Thank you, Comrade Yin Guotao." Su Xiaotong extended his right hand to the other party with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome. It's my duty to assist you. I don't even know if this is the right thing to do."

Yin Guotao hurriedly shook it.

"Isn't it right? Thank you for the help you provided us, Comrade Yin Guotao. Now that it's all right, please try to recall the scene in the post office when I called you on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

If you can think of anything else, just call the number I left for you. That number is open 24 hours a day. " "Don't worry, my two police comrades. I will try my best to recall it. "

After letting go of Su Xiaotong's hand, Zhou Jianwen also shook hands with him, then said goodbye and drove away, heading towards the local police station.

This place is not far from the local police station and only takes a few minutes to drive there. After explaining the purpose of the visit, the chief of the police station asked someone to call Zheng Guangrong to the conference room.

"Director Su, Captain Zhou, I wonder if you two are looking for me..."

When he was visited by people from the Social Affairs Bureau, a deputy director and a deputy captain, not to mention the ordinary policeman Zheng Guangrong, even several leaders in the station were panicked.

It is best not to ask about the affairs of the Social Affairs Bureau casually. After Zheng Guangrong came over, several leaders of the institute left the meeting room and left the space to them.

Looking at the somewhat nervous Zheng Guangrong, Su Xiaotong said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Comrade Guangrong, sit down, we are here to ask you something."

Seeing that the two people from the Social Affairs Bureau had smiles on their faces, Zheng Guangrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pulled out a chair to sit opposite them.

"That's the glorious comrade. Did you make a long-distance call at the ** Street Post Office last month?"

"Call...call?" Zheng Guangrong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the people from the Social Affairs Bureau would ask him about this matter.

But he was calling his relatives who were out of town that day. Is there anything wrong with that?

"Yes, Director Su. My uncle is in Sichuan Province supporting the Third Front construction. We agreed to call each other on that day. This..."

"What day did you call?" Before Zheng Guangrong could finish his words, Su Xiaotong asked the next question.

"What number? Uh..."

Zheng Guangrong felt a little puzzled. He couldn't understand why the people from the Social Affairs Bureau came to him to ask this.

"Director Su, before I answer this question, can I ask you two what you want to ask me about?"

"Yes, there is something. We are investigating a case." Su Xiaotong hesitated for a moment, but decided to give a brief account.

"On February 8, the third day of the Chinese New Year, at around 3 p.m., the criminal answered a long-distance call at the ** Street Post Office. We want to find all the people who made or received calls there during that time and verify them one by one."

That's it!

When he heard that it had nothing to do with him and that the people from the Social Affairs Bureau just wanted to find witnesses, Zheng Guangrong's originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed completely.

Otherwise, he would have thought that he was inexplicably involved in some case.

Being investigated by the Social Affairs Bureau is not a good thing.

"Yes, I called on February 8, the third day of the Chinese New Year. I can't remember the exact time, but it was definitely in the afternoon.

If Director Su wants a specific time, I have a letter at home that my uncle sent me, which contains the time we agreed to call."

call……

Hearing this, Su Xiaotong and Zhou Jianwen also breathed a sigh of relief. They finally found the person who called that day, and he was a police officer.

"Comrade Guangrong, can you remember who was in the post office before and after you called?"

"Hey... Director Su, can you let me think about it slowly? After all, such a long time has passed."

"No problem, don't worry, think about it carefully."

"Okay." Zheng Guangrong nodded, sat in the chair, rolled his eyes and began to recall carefully.

The conference room fell silent for a moment. Seeing him reminiscing, Su Xiaotong turned around and winked at Zhou Jianwen, then stood up and tiptoed out of the conference room.

He had to explain to the leaders of the police station to avoid any misunderstanding that would have a negative impact on Zheng Guangrong.

It should be said that after all, they are working in public security, so no matter where they are, they will pay more attention and observation than ordinary people.

Although it has been a long time, Zheng Guangrong still remembered a few people after careful recollection.

Among the two post offices investigated by Su Xiaotong and his team, one of them, the one that Yin Guotao and Zheng Guangrong called, did not have many people making calls due to its geographical location.

According to the communication records, there were more than 120 records of calls made and received throughout the afternoon of February 8th.

The dumbest way is to find out all the people corresponding to these more than 120 records, and then the person who answered the call in Yangcheng will naturally be found.

But the other post office was more troublesome.

It was a large law firm with a good geographical location. On the afternoon of the day the incident occurred, the phone they were investigating alone had more than 200 records of calls and receipts.

There are seven telephones in the entire post office and thousands of communication records. It is not easy to find all the people.

But there was no other way. In the absence of other clues, they could only focus on this clue and use the most stupid method to slowly grind it out.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, after hearing the announcement of the end of get off work, Luo Min tidied up his desk and walked towards the door while talking with his colleagues.

Not far behind her, Liu Qingchuan looked at her back with a complicated and incomprehensible look.

Although he and Luo Min worked in the same unit, they were not in the same department. There was also a big age gap between them. They had no personal relationship at all and did not interact at work.

In the six months since Luo Min came to work here, the two of them have spoken so many words that they can't even count them on their hands. The total number of words probably doesn't exceed fifty.

Now he was suddenly asked to care about where someone's lover had gone, but he had no way of asking.

Just before leaving get off work, as he had nothing to do, he went to several offices to chat with people. He intentionally or unintentionally brought the topic to Luo Min several times, but he didn't dare to talk in depth, because he didn't get the answer he wanted anyway.

He was a little anxious, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only chat with his colleagues beside him and walked out of the office gate.

The jeep had already stopped by the roadside, and it was still Luo Min's brother who came to pick her up.

Liu Qingchuan greeted his colleague next to him, said that he had other things to do across the street, and then walked towards the jeep.

He wanted to take advantage of the passing car to listen to what Luo Min and her brother were saying about her lover.

To his disappointment, the brother and sister just said hello and got in the car and left.
