Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 328 The Rendezvous! Stealing Technology! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time?"

Zhang Tian, ​​the coach of Beijing Guoan, paused, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Xu Liang looked at him calmly and said seriously, "No, you've come at just the right time!"

Zhang Tian:?
Something just doesn't feel right, what's wrong with me?
Zhang Tian fell into deep thought, but didn't dwell on such a trivial matter. Instead, he spoke up.

"Si Hong went to the vegetable market again."

Si Hong's wife, Fang Tianhai, the traitor, is that stupid elephant-headed woman who could be in a museum!

To be honest, even though Xu Liang personally found out the opponent's flaws...

But I still don't understand why the other party would spend US dollars at the market!

What is the other party really thinking?
"When did you go?" Xu Liang asked, regaining his composure.

Zhang Tian didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu, who were both looking very curious.

Seeing this, Su Yu paused for a moment, then smiled and pulled Yang Ruoxi into the inner room.

"Crack!"

The gate was closed, and only Xu Liang and Zhang Tian were in the courtyard.

"just now."

Zhang Tian said slowly.

Just now, just now
So, the evening rush hour at the farmers' market?

The first trial just ended today! Zhu Haoyi couldn't hold back any longer.
"Sure enough, he never intended to lose money."

Xu Liang sneered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The faster the other party acquires the technology, the sooner they can leave Dongguo and lose less money.

In other words, Zhang Shan didn't believe Zhu Haoyi back then. Otherwise, no matter how sincere Zhu Haoyi seemed before, he would have immediately turned his back on the agreement the moment it was signed and maximized his own interests!

"Has the third person been identified?"

Xu Liang took a deep breath and slowly asked a question.

Fang Tianhai, Zhu Haoyi, and Li Yang have an online friend who is hiding in China, and even in Shangcheng!

But this guy handled the situation very well, not even revealing the details of such an important technical connection.

"I have some guesses."

As Zhang Tian spoke, his expression instantly turned grim.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang frowned. "What's wrong? This person is of a very high rank."

Hearing this, Zhang Tian's face grew even uglier. Finally, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

“Very high!”

"Although we cannot confirm the other party's true identity, we started investigating years ago, and we now have some clues."

"The only thing that can be said for sure is that the other party is superior to Fang Tianhai."

After a pause, Zhang Tian continued:
"Worse than that!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang's face showed surprise.

Although he didn't know which research area Fang Tianhai was in charge of, he did know Fang Tianhai's rank.

He's only half a grade lower than Lin Fuqiang!

In other words, they lack real power; otherwise, such people would be extremely difficult to deal with, and Zhang Tian's arrest would be very complicated and troublesome.

However, the other party is now claiming that the third person is even more capable than Fang Tianhai.
"So, what you mean is..." Xu Liang hesitated.

Zhang Tiandao said, "The case can be moved up to the court's schedule."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang immediately understood what he meant.

In other words, Beijing Guoan never intended to suppress this matter in the first place!
Do you want him to guide public opinion in a direction that benefits himself, so as to achieve certain benefits?

that's the truth.

Cases of this nature cannot be suppressed; once an arrest is made, the matter will inevitably become known.

Furthermore...
There are generally two reasons why the authorities suppress information: First, the victims are special, such as primary school students, and their illegal acts will be kept secret.

Second, the case is special and cannot be disclosed.

However, people like Zhu Haoyi and Fang Tianhai do not belong to any of these categories!
"okay, I get it."

Xu Liang took a deep breath and nodded.

Zhu Haoyi still owes 47 million in compensation, and he won't let him go!

But there needs to be a reason to control him.

"What about Fang Tianhai? Any new information?" Xu Liang suddenly asked.

"For example, does he know any clues about Zhu Haoyi?"

Zhang Tian paused, then his gaze sharpened, and his face turned ashen as he said:
"know."

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow. "What is Zhu Haoyi's purpose?!"

Zhang Tian said in a deep voice: "Rare earth elements."

"National rare earth extraction technology!"

Extraction technology. It really is that stuff!

Xu Liang's body trembled. Even though he had guessed it before, he was still somewhat shocked to hear it from the other party's own mouth.

There's no way around it, Zhu Haoyi is just too audacious!
No wonder the deal fell through when the other party dared to touch this thing. When Zhang Shan wanted to entrust Xu Liang with the task, the other party acted decisively and killed Zhang Shan!
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that even after Zhang Shan died, Xu Liang would still take on the case.
"One country's rare earth extraction technology, the other's missile development technology."

"Tsk, what a big appetite."

Rare earth extraction technology may not be difficult in later generations, and some technologies have even been made public, but this was in 05!
Therefore, Xu Liang had no doubt that the other party was indeed stealing the extraction technology!
On the contrary, he became more curious about the identity of the third person.

Trying to eat two things that could determine the world situation in one go would be too much for even the biggest stomach!

Moreover, Zhu Haoyi.
Tsk, using the project manager as a scapegoat to take the blame for the theft of rare earth extraction technology.
How much did Zhu Haoyi offer that project manager to get him to agree?

However, this tactic was somewhat effective. These days, it wasn't like later generations where it was common for interns and managers to take the blame, so after the first trial's explanation, while public opinion was intense, there wasn't much attack on Zhengyang Mining Company.

I doubt many people would have imagined that Zhu Haoyi's identity would undergo such a dramatic reversal.

Xu Liang sighed, then took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
I will appeal as soon as possible!

Hearing this, Zhang Tian nodded, "That's enough."

Immediately afterward, he and Xu Liang took their leave and began to have people hide in the shadows to monitor Si Hong.

at the same time.

Inside a restaurant near the Dongyang vegetable market.

"Just as I thought, Xu Liang's men who were in charge of surveillance have left. This afternoon is our perfect opportunity!"

In a corner of the restaurant, Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang looked up through the floor-to-ceiling window at the noisy and bustling vegetable market outside.

After the first trial, Zhu Haoyi decisively began a counter-surveillance investigation.

The result is
Nobody was watching him!
This made Zhu Haoyi overjoyed, after all, it meant 'merit' and also meant that he could lose less money!
only.
Who possesses the technology?

Looking at the large crowd outside, Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang frowned, a hint of confusion flashing in their eyes.

"Number One was not given specific information about her identity. She was only told that she was a 35-year-old woman who would go to the Dongyang vegetable market three times a day, usually around 6:10 pm."

"The secret code for the rendezvous involves zero contact and zero communication; it's all done through gestures."

Zhu Haoyi recalled the instructions given by the No. 1 Police Station.

"Is it that one!?"

Li Yang suddenly spoke, gesturing for Zhu Haoyi to turn his head and look outside.

Then I saw a young woman walking slowly, carrying a shopping basket.

The woman had long hair and while her looks weren't particularly stunning, she was prettier than the average woman and had a decent figure.

Both the timing and the description of the appearance given by Number One match up with the other party!

only.
'He gives me a really stupid feeling.'

Zhu Haoyi frowned and suddenly murmured something.

Indeed, even though the two had not yet made contact, Zhu Haoyi immediately realized from the other person's appearance that the other person's intelligence might not be very high.

Can.
"Number One shouldn't be wrong. He's been undercover for decades and even climbed up the ranks. He shouldn't send a stupid person to make contact."

Zhu Haoyi pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to him.

"Disguise?"

"Hehe, you're quite the actor. You almost fooled me too!"

He felt as if he had seen through the other party's disguise, so he stopped talking to Li Yang and got up, quickly left the restaurant, and headed to the market.

Northern vegetable markets are not as crowded as those in the south, although there are still quite a few people during the evening rush hour.

But it was so crowded that people were packed together, otherwise Li Yang wouldn't have been able to spot Si Hong in the crowd at a glance.

"Da da da"

Footsteps sounded.

Zhu Haoyi tightened his grip and slowly approached Si Hong.

At this moment, Si Hong was still buying scallions at the scallion stall, picking and choosing. If Zhu Haoyi hadn't known what he was there for, he would have been fooled by her!

"Cough cough!"

Zhu Haoyi suddenly coughed.

The commotion of those around them drew their attention.

Si Hong also subconsciously looked at Zhu Haoyi. The next second, she saw Zhu Haoyi push up his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his little finger, and then cover his mouth while making a "one" gesture.

This is the secret code.

There were no riddles, nothing more. If Si Hong was the contact, then all she had to do was complain to the stall owner about the bacteria on the vegetables.

Just as Zhu Haoyi was thinking this...

Then Si Hong suddenly looked away and continued to haggle with the shopkeeper.

Zhu Haoyi was slightly stunned. He subconsciously exchanged a glance with Li Yang, who was not far away. The other man's eyes also showed a look of confusion.

Did you get the wrong person?

That doesn't make sense either. The information matches perfectly, even the location of the mole is the same!

Zhu Haoyi pondered for a moment, then put his hand to his lips again and coughed forcefully.

The next second, Si Hong turned to look at him.

Before Zhu Haoyi could even show a hint of joy, Si Hong revealed an impatient expression and said:
"Coughing up phlegm in the market, isn't that disgusting?!"

Zhu Haoyi: ?

Zhu Haoyi froze, looking at the other person who got up and left, a bewildered expression on his face.

Something's not right here!
Or did they really contact the wrong person?

Could it be that the contact forgot the code? But that doesn't make sense either; there's no reason for Number One to send such an incompetent person to make contact.
If that's the case, then could it be that the other party really isn't the contact person?
It was quite unusual for Zhu Haoyi to start doubting himself.

until
Si Hong, who was originally about to leave, seemed to recall something, a look of realization appearing on her face. She quickly took small steps to Zhu Haoyi's side and said:

"You must be Mr. Zhu, right!?"

"Oh, I'm Si Hong. My man told me to give you the things if I saw you at the market."

As he spoke, he took a USB drive out of his pocket and slowly handed it to Zhu Haoyi, who was completely bewildered.

Zhu Haoyi: ?

Zhu Haoyi was stunned. He stared at the woman in front of him with wide eyes as she pulled out a USB drive. He froze on the spot, his mind blank and his thoughts frozen.

P.S.: Chapter 3 will be released shortly; I'm experiencing some writer's block today.
