Siheyuan: Kill Han Qingkui, Tian Zao is entangled with me

Chapter 159: Jincheng Cafe employee information is suspicious, go to Red Star Steel Mill to arrest Yi Zhonghai
He was still playing with the bulletproof vest in his hand. "Tell me, is this clothing really that magical? Can it protect against bullets? How about we find some time to try it out?"

"Master, please let me try it on!"

"Fuck you, am I the kind of person who wants my brothers to die? Huh? Who do you think Old Li is? Let someone put on a whole dummy to see the effect. You will just act recklessly without thinking!"

Duan Peng kept admitting his mistakes.

Zheng Chaoyang and his team turned from Donggongan Street into Dongjiaomin Lane and began to check all the shops along the street, including cafes, bars, dance halls, theaters, and cinemas one by one.

Dongjiaominxiang
He took Zong Xiangfang and Dayong and went straight to the Jincheng Coffee House nearby.

"Sir, this is it."

"We are on official business. Call the person in charge here to come out!"

The doorman immediately turned around and trotted inside.

The customers who were sitting down were stopped by Zong Xiangfang and Dayong just as they were about to stand up. "Excuse me for taking up some time. Our Municipal Public Security Bureau is conducting a comprehensive investigation. Please register your personal information!"

When Qiao Shan heard the report from his subordinates, he secretly thought that he was in trouble.

I still went out anyway.

"I'm the manager of Jincheng Cafe, my name is Qiao Shan."

Of course he saw Zong Xiangfang, and Zong Xiangfang recognized him at a glance.

"We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We are here today to ask you to explain the situation of the employees in the store and also to give us a list of the regular customers."

"Doesn't this seem to be against the rules?"

"Rules, what rules do you have for a coffee shop? The city has been liberated, and everything is under the management of the Military Control Commission. What rules do you want?"

Zong Xiangfang directly retorted.

The veins on Qiao Shan's forehead bulged.

I knew that this person was a restless person. Such a person would retaliate more thoroughly than those people in the Public Security Bureau.

But he had to give the employee information and the list of regular customers to Zheng Chaoyang and the others.

[The current employee list consists of 15 people, eight of whom have suspicious information]

Oh my god, is the clairvoyance really that awesome?
"Give me the detailed information of the fifteen people in the store. Just their names and their hometowns won't tell me much."

"Officer, those are the private documents of our cafe."

"Private files? We don't care about what happened before, but now you have to follow our rules!"

"Most of the customers in our cafe are celebrities from all walks of life. There are about 30 or 40 regular customers, and they are all here. I just ask you not to harass our customers!"

"What you said is interesting. If they haven't broken the law, we won't bother them. But if they have broken the law, no matter who they are or who they are, we will arrest them."

[The current list of regular customers consists of 35 people, 30 of whom have suspicious information]

Oh my god, we’ve walked into the spy’s nest!
"Xiang Fang, you go and check this list, and I'll check the list of regular customers."

"The New Year is coming soon, and we can't afford it with just a few of us."

Zong Xiangfang deliberately looked at Qiao Shan behind the bar midway through his speech.

"There are dozens of stores on this street, and with so much personnel information, some of it might be repeated. Wouldn't this make it simpler?"

"That makes sense! Okay, our group will digest some of it before the New Year, and continue after the New Year."

"Manager Qiao, can I see the warehouse?"

“We are very particular about the ingredients used in our cafe. The ingredients and raw materials in the warehouse are all imported and very expensive.”

"What you said is interesting. Do you think we would steal your ingredients and raw materials? I asked you to open it!"

A drop of cold sweat flowed down Qiao Shan's temple. He really didn't know how to deal with it now.

There are no contraband items in the warehouse, but if Zheng Chaoyang suddenly wants to check every room, contraband items will definitely be found.

"If you want to search, please bring a search warrant, otherwise I won't accompany you!"

"Search warrant?"

"Chaoyang, you guys are walking too fast. I'm trying to catch you up. This is the search warrant Director Luo asked me to deliver!"

A man with a forehead full of sweat walked in.

"We have a search warrant, open it!"

Qiao Shan loosened his collar, feeling a little nervous.

He took out a key and opened the warehouse door, turning on the light inside.

Zheng Chaoyang just stood at the door and took a look. There was indeed nothing valuable there.

“Are these coffee beans expired?”

"is it?"

Qiao Shan picked up a package suspiciously, "Maybe the supplier made a mistake. This is our coffee shop's negligence."

"If those celebrities knew about this, it would probably affect business, right?"

"Yes, yes, our cafe will attract attention!"

"You've admitted your mistake pretty well. Be careful next time! Let's go to the next one!"

Zong Xiangfang glanced at Qiao Shan, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he left.

"Master Duo, the search warrant needs to be stamped with an official seal."

"Really? You just asked me to forge a copy, but you didn't ask for an official seal! Besides, I can't even get an official seal!"

"I'll make one for you out of carrots later!"

Zong Xiangfang, who was following behind, was also stunned. It turns out that you are so bold that you even dare to forge a search warrant.

"I think their cafe is trying to obstruct us in every way, with all the socialites and stuff, don't you think they are suspicious?"

"Otherwise, why would they ask you to check the information of the employees in their coffee shop? Have the public security bureaus in the places mentioned above send us a notice of cooperation as soon as possible."

"I understand, I'll be back soon!"

"Aren't we going to the next one?"

"Where is the next one coming from? I'm here for this one, kid!"

Dayong touched the back of his head and laughed foolishly.

"Brother Zheng, do we have to investigate each of the thirty-five people on this list?"

"We are all from the city, please keep a close eye on the city gates and stations. We can't escape. Let's go after the New Year!"

Qiao Shan watched several people leave. He was already panicking at the moment. He picked up the phone and was about to make a call, but then he thought something was wrong. What if the call was being monitored by the other party?
[Jincheng Cafe Line 5 has been successfully debugged]

[Jincheng Cafe Line 6 has been successfully debugged]

[Jincheng Cafe Line 7 has been successfully debugged]

[Jincheng Cafe Line 8 has been successfully debugged]

The reason why Zheng Chaoyang took so much pains to place eavesdropping devices was because this was the base of the Taoyuan Special Operations Group.

If you only set up one plan, it is inevitable that something will be missed, and you also have to consider the possibility of being discovered.

Today, the gold lips have been made into various shapes, such as an ashtray, a matchbox, or more likely a part of a candlestick. He even arranged them in the warehouse.

It was obvious that Qiao Shan was on the verge of breaking down. After waiting for a long time, there was no movement. Then he caught a glimpse of Qiao Shan leaving the cafe in disguise and getting on a tricycle that had been waiting for a long time.

Fortunately, this tricycle belongs to Geng San’s car dealership association, so we can find out more about it later.

At least we know where he went.

"Dayong, tell everyone to return to the bureau once they get the list and submit it to Team Leader Wu of the Intelligence Group."

"Yes, Brother Zheng!"

"Brother Zheng, what about me?"

"Go back and ask the little girl if she wants to find a job. Xian Yi's Ci'an Hall needs help. Let her go and give it a try!"

"But the little girl said that a sister she knew asked her if she wanted to go to the East Suburb Correctional Institution to help out. The people imprisoned there are all the people from the Eight Great Hutongs. They said they were going to help them reform. If they did a good job, the government would arrange follow-up work for them in the future."

"That's great, it's very meaningful. If you ask her to agree to it, you must do a good job. But the trip back and forth is not very safe, right? You will be responsible for the transportation?"

Qi Lala patted her chest hard, "I can do it!"

"Okay, but remember this: these women have tragic pasts, so you should be mindful of their feelings when you speak and act in the future."

"Can I still join the party in the future?"

"What does joining the party have to do with this? She is also a member of the working class. It's not like she took the wrong path and was sold into a brothel. You have to find out! Don't offend her with just one sentence, or you'll cry!"

"Okay, Brother Zheng, now that you put it that way, I understand. Then can you be my party introducer?"

"see your performance!"

After getting on the jeep, Zheng Chaoyang went straight back to the bureau. The purpose of coming to Dongjiaomin Lane to intimidate others was achieved.

In the past, the queue-wielding army and warlords were not allowed to enter this area because it was a gathering place for foreigners and was guarded by soldiers sent by foreigners.

As soon as I got out of the car, Hao Pingchuan ran over excitedly.

"Give up?"

"The one called Shangguan Xiaolong is dead, the one called Lao San is still being interrogated, and as for Zheng Qiang, he said he wants to see you."

"Shangguan Xiaolong has a sister named Shangguan Xiaolan. They asked Shangguan Xiaolan to go to the bank to collect their funds. There should be records on file."

"Bank? Except for the People's Bank of China, all other banks in Beijing are closed now. Besides, their funds must have been remitted from overseas. OK, I'll go back and find out where I can make overseas reports."

Before we finished, Zong Xiangfang came in in a hurry, "Chaoyang, this is the cooperation notice I just asked someone to send to the Jinan Public Security Bureau. I guess we won't get any news until after the New Year. What do you think, how about I go there myself?"

"You decide for yourself. When you come back, I'll have Lao Luo give you credit for your contribution and make up for it by making you a meal of dumplings."

"Okay, I'll go back to the dormitory now to pack my luggage and get on the road as soon as possible."

Zong Xiangfang seemed to be greatly upset by the incident with Zheng Chaoshan, and was ready to draw a line between them, or to say that he was ready to part ways with them and crush them to death. "Take good care of yourself on the way, and take the little guys in your group with you. The bureau won't reimburse the travel expenses, but I'll find a way to reimburse you."

"Don't try to use the same bribery tricks you used to use on me!"

"That's impossible. Master Duo's ancestors left behind many antiques. Can't my family have one or two antiques, calligraphy and paintings?"

Zong Xiangfang suddenly saluted Zheng Chaoyang, and Zheng Chaoyang immediately returned the salute, and the two hugged each other.

The news of Zheng Qiang and his gang being arrested cannot be hidden, and Qin Defu from the Fifth District Police Station will know it sooner or later.

Then I walked into the interrogation room and Zheng Qiang was already sitting there.

"I heard that you specifically asked me to answer before you could answer?"

"I want to know how you found my hiding place."

“Does this even make sense?”

"At least let me die knowingly."

"Do you remember Han Qingkui?"

When Zheng Qiang heard the name Han Qingkui, his eyes widened. "You were also in Han's house at that time? I don't have any impression of you."

"Then you have an impression of him, right?"

The lawyer walked in with his body bowed.

"You are now a glorious police officer. Adjust your attitude and stand up straight!"

"Yes, Team Leader Zheng!"

"Your last name is Zheng too? My last name is Zheng too. We have been one family for five hundred years."

"Don't try to get close to me now! Tell me what you know and the identity of your superior."

Zheng Qiang smacked his lips and raised two fingers. Hao Pingchuan understood and stepped forward to hand him a cigarette.

"I was originally the head of the Central Coordination Station in Sijiu City. After Xu Zongren defected, or what you call surrendering, the higher-ups asked us to go underground."

"Tell me about your upline? Who is he? Where is he now?"

"I really don't know his identity, otherwise I wouldn't have to meet him in the counter every time. But according to the agreement, we will meet at Wanghai Tower on New Year's Eve."

"That peddler is also someone your superior uses to give you warnings, right?"

"A peddler? You caught him too? He must know my online identity. We drove away all the peddlers in Xiwei Hutong."

Hao Pingchuan was taking notes quickly on the side.

"I have a list here. Circle all your subordinates and make amends for your crimes!"

Zheng Qiang smacked his lips as he took the list from Zheng Chaoyang, his eyes wide open in surprise, "Where did you get this list?"

"When we entered the city, quite a few people turned themselves in. Do you understand?"

Hao Pingchuan, who was standing by, dared to swear to the great man that he had never seen this list.

Zheng Qiang took the pencil and circled the names on the list for a long time before handing it to Zheng Chaoyang with a sense of relief.

He handed the list to Hao Pingchuan and asked him to arrest people according to the list.

Soon another police officer came in to continue taking the statement, and outside we heard the sound of trucks and jeeps driving away.

"Why did you feel relieved the moment you saw me? Logically, your superiors should have promised you a lot of preferential treatment, right?"

"These days, I have been under great mental pressure and have not slept well for a single day. Even if I fall asleep, I wake up easily. Every time I dream, I dream of myself being captured by you."

"Do you know Wan Linsheng?"

"Not only do I know them, I also saw them outside Han Qingkui's mansion before you took over Sijiu City."

"he died."

"I know. I heard that people outside said it was done by a mole, but I know that this was spread intentionally."

Zheng Chaoyang stood up and walked over, handed him a cigarette, and took out a lighter to light it for him.

"I'm somewhat familiar with your lighter, but it's probably not yours. We have some people who like a lot of weird gadgets. As far as I know, there's one person who's good at using a knife as thin as a cicada's wing, similar to the sickle used by Japanese ninjas, but even smaller than a sickle. It can cut a person's throat with one knife, leaving only a very small scar, but it can be fatal."

"Do you know the other party's identity?"

Seeing Zheng Chaoyang's anxious look, Zheng Qiang forced a smile and shook his head, "Those who know are probably dead! Do you know about the annihilation of the Henan Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics? That's right, how do you know about the infighting among us?"

"Tell me more specifically, tell me what you know."

"In mid-December of the 33rd year of the Republic of China, Wei Xiaojie, the station chief of the Henan Central Control Station, and his men were secretly executed by the Military Control Bureau."

[Zheng Chaoshan, a student at the German Litten Medical School on April 6, 1944]

Wei Xiaojie and others were executed in Henan eight months later?
"Henan Central Investigation Station? How many people died? Are there any survivors?"

"Six people including Colonel Wei Xiaojie, the head of the Henan Central Intelligence Station, were executed. Oh, Wei Xiaojie also had a wife. I don't know her name, but her code name is Aunt. She should also be in Sijiu City. I met her by chance at Hongfeng Restaurant last time."

"Is Hongfeng Restaurant also your base?"

Having said so much already, this one sentence wouldn't make any difference. Zheng Qiang could only nod vigorously.

"Then do you know who murdered dozens of people in Hongfeng Restaurant?"

"I can only guess that it was someone from the Military Intelligence Bureau, but I still don't know the specific reason."

Hao Pingchuan took the list and went directly to several street governments without being reckless.

The street government did a good job of meticulous work some time ago. It has comprehensive information on all registered people within its jurisdiction.

In a short while, a truck was full.

The neighbors on all sides were pointing and talking at those people.

Hao Pingchuan, who was sitting in a jeep, parked the car in front of the government building on Sixth Street and walked in with his men.

"I am Li Hongying, the director of the Sixth Street Government. Who are you?"

"I know you. Comrade Zheng Chaoyang and I came here to look for you. I am Hao Pingchuan, the leader of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's action team. The people on this list are all under the jurisdiction of your street government, right? Could you please provide me with their specific addresses?"

Why is it the Municipal Public Security Bureau again?

Why is he Zheng Chaoyang’s man again?
Li Hongying still remembers the scene of her social death in front of Zhao Gang that day.

In the end, if her old leader hadn't spoken to Zhao Gang, her job as street government director would have been over.

"Xiao Luo, Xiao Chen, take the comrades from the Municipal Public Security Bureau to the archives room."

Li Hongying still doesn't know how Zheng Chaoyang knows Zhao Gang, and the way Zhao Gang and Zheng Chaoyang talk to each other clearly shows that they have known each other for a long time and have a special relationship.

She actually offended such a person just to protect Ye Dapeng. Now Tian Zao's appointment has been handed down to her. Even if she wanted to do something, it was impossible.

If Tian Zao knew what happened that day, it is very likely that the relationship between her and Tian Zao would only be that of a superior and a subordinate.

"Officer Hao, I heard that Yi Zhonghai is a fourth-level fitter at the Red Star Steel Mill. He should not be at home right now. You can go to the Red Star Steel Mill in the eastern suburbs to have a look!"

"Where is the Red Star Steel Mill?"

"It was the former Lou's Steel Mill, which is now a public-private partnership and has been renamed the Red Star Steel Mill."

Hao Pingchuan suddenly realized what was going on. He shook hands with the two officials and drove to the Red Star Steel Mill with his men.

Zheng Chaoyang continued to inquire about the situation of the code-named aunt.

"I only know that she was Wei Xiaojie's wife. After Wei Xiaojie was executed, some photos were leaked. His injuries were obviously caused by the hand sickle, so some people said it was done by a mole."

"Who is this mole?"

"The mole is not one of ours. When Xu Zongren was in Suiyuan, he captured a female agent from the Toyo Special High Technology Department named Yamada Yoshiko. Xu Zongren was originally going to execute her, but later the woman was taken away by Mao Renfeng!"

[Codename Aunt (1/1) has been recorded]

"Do you still recognize her face?"

“I only know how to express it, but I can’t draw it.”

"Go find Team Leader Bai!"

Bai Ling came quickly, followed by Dayong, Daya and Erya and others, who were considered apprentices.

Three people helped Bai Ling set up the drawing board and spread white paper on it. Bai Ling looked at Zheng Chaoyang.

"You can start talking now."

Relying on his memory, Zheng Qiang began to describe his aunt's appearance in detail.

Soon, the face of a woman who couldn't be more ordinary appeared in the interrogation room.

"Such an ordinary face? If you put it outside, you would hardly take a second look at it, right?"

After showing the drawing Bai Ling had finished to Zheng Qiang for confirmation, he nodded vigorously and gave a thumbs up, affirming Bai Ling's painting skills. "It's almost exactly the same, it's this face. Now I finally understand why we were defeated so completely."

"No, you are wrong. The reason why you were completely defeated is not because we have so many talented people. It is because we lost the support of the people. During the Anti-Japanese War, many talented people did emerge in the National Army, and the battle was fought beautifully at that time. But how come after driving the Japanese out of the country, the situation changed? Because your leader is too greedy! A political party that has lost the support of the people, what else can it be but a complete defeat? It is right for soldiers to obey orders as their first duty, but we should also have a heart to distinguish right from wrong!"

Zheng Chaoyang predicted Zheng Qiang's prediction and said what he wanted to refute, leaving him speechless.

Zheng Qiang sighed heavily, lowered his head, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"You can only redeem yourself by cooperating with us and contacting your superiors on New Year's Eve to help us take him down. Of course, any subordinates you can capture will be a bonus."

"At least starting tonight, I can sleep peacefully."

The guard room of the Red Star Steel Mill had never seen such a scene before, so they called the factory director's office directly and then called the security department. Hao Pingchuan had already broken into the steel mill with his men.

"Comrade police officer, I am Yang Shengli, the public director of this steel mill. How can I help you?"

"Where is Yi Zhonghai?"

"Master Yi? The fitter's workshop, please follow me!"

Yang Shengli had already gotten to know the situation of the employees in the steel rolling mill. Yi Zhonghai, as the youngest fourth-level fitter, was originally a senior technician that the factory was planning to train. Now he was visited by the Municipal Public Security Bureau in such a situation. Could it be that he had made some fundamental mistake?

"You guys take control of the back door, and you guys go up and take control of the commanding heights!"

Yang Shengli was frightened by Hao Pingchuan's command. He also came from the army, so he was naturally familiar with the posture of arresting a wanted criminal!
