Tan Zhigang nodded, his face serious.

"Xiao Hui, let me introduce you. This is Qi Zheng, the deputy director of our Southern Xinjiang Provincial Public Security Department in charge of drug enforcement!"

A look of surprise appeared in Chen Hui's eyes as he looked at Qi Zheng, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Hello, Director Qi!"

"Comrade Xiaohui, you've worked hard!"

Serving the people is not hard work!

Tan Zhigang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to bother with such formalities.

"Xiao Hui, sit down. This place serves as a liaison point for Yangcheng. The owner of this massage parlor was secretly arrested by us for committing a crime and can withstand scrutiny."

Chen Hui nodded.

"Master, this contact point is good."

He was very curious as to why Director Qi would come to see him in person, and his gaze unconsciously fell on him.

Tan Zhigang quickly explained to him.

"Chief Qi is here because of Zuo Min's matter!"

Chen Hui suddenly understood and nodded.

Qi Zheng looked at him with a solemn expression.

"You really met Zuo Min?"

"Yes, Director Qi!"

Upon receiving confirmation, Qi Zheng became somewhat agitated.

"Our police don't even know what Zuo Min looks like. Could you describe Zuo Min's face?"

Chen Hui immediately perked up.

"Director Qi, I've had a talent for drawing since I was little. My teachers all say I'm a 'soulful artist,' because I can draw his face perfectly!"

"good!"

Qi Zheng was overjoyed to hear this.

Tan Zhigang coughed once.

"Xiao Hui, you describe it, and I'll draw it."

He knew Chen Hui's painting skills.

That's truly a master artist; they captured the very essence of the character. It's a miracle that Qi Zheng could understand it.

Chen Hui pursed his lips helplessly. He had wanted to show off his drawing skills, but now he had no chance. He then described all of Zuo Min's characteristics.

After finishing his description, Tan Zhigang had completed the drawing. He stared intently at the portrait and exclaimed in admiration.

"So this is what Zuo Min looks like. If I didn't know, I probably wouldn't recognize him if we bumped into each other on the street."

Qi Zheng took the portrait and examined it carefully, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Hui asked in surprise.

"Director Qi, have you met Zuo Min?"

Qi Ting withdrew his gaze, realizing his lapse in composure, and shook his head.

"No, but I have dealt with Zuo Min before!"

Hearing this, Chen Hui was even more surprised.

Tan Zhigang continued for him.

"Qi Ting used to work on the front line of border drug enforcement. He had a fight with Zuo Min and caused Zuo Min heavy losses. His pregnant wife was killed by Zuo Min's revenge, along with her unborn child. The person who did it was a man named Aung San, one of Zuo Min's subordinates."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hui looked at Qi Zheng with deep respect.

Those who are on the front lines of the fight against drugs pay a heavy price for their work.

Mentioning the past, Qi Zheng's eyes immediately reddened, but he restrained himself well, put down the portrait, and looked at Chen Hui.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Comrade Chen Hui, will Zuo Min show up again?"

All three eyes were fixed on him, clearly wanting to know the answer.

"The butcher has agreed to be Zuo Min's spokesperson in Yangcheng. Zuo Min will definitely deliver the goods. As for when she will come, it's not clear yet, but I believe it won't be long."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zheng's spirits lifted.

"Alright! If Zuo Min shows up again, we have to seize the opportunity!"

Chen Hui nodded, looking at Tan Zhigang with some worry in his heart.

"Master, Zuo Min is very cautious. He will definitely make full preparations before showing his face, especially since we have his people inside us. If even a little bit of information leaks out, and Zuo Min notices anything unusual, he probably won't show his face."

When the topic of the mole came up, Tan Zhigang sighed in distress.

"We've investigated everyone in the provincial department, but we haven't found a single clue."

Chen Hui stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Master, how could this be? Is there something we missed during the investigation?"

Tan Zhigang said with a solemn expression and utmost certainty.

"No, we have also reported this matter to Director Qi. We have secretly investigated everyone in the provincial department, and all those with the surname Zhou are within our investigation scope."

"There are twelve people in total. Four of them work at the grassroots level in the provincial department. They usually have no access to the submitted action reviews. The other three are clerical staff, and they also have no access to this information."

"The remaining five people also had a very small chance of accessing these secret documents. We also verified all their information. Three of them were only in their thirties and had children who were only a few years old, which did not meet the criteria of being overseas. We also investigated the spending habits of their families."

"There are also two people who are nearing retirement and have stepped down to the second line. Both of them have daughters and live in China. We have thoroughly investigated the situation of their families and daughters and found no problems. We have even investigated the workplaces of their daughters."

The look of surprise in Chen Hui's eyes intensified.

"Could this woman surnamed Zhou be their wife, and their child take their mother's surname?"

Wu Qiang shook his head.

"No, the wives of those who have access to these secret documents are not surnamed Zhou. We have also investigated them. The only one with the surname Zhou is a retired cadre who is almost seventy years old and has long since stopped getting involved in anything."

That means there are absolutely no clues left.

Could it be that Wang Kun lied to him?

But that doesn't make sense. Given his interrogation methods, Wang Kun couldn't possibly be lying, especially considering his demeanor at the time. He was absolutely certain that Wang Kun wasn't lying.

Qi Zheng suddenly frowned slightly.

"Xiao Hui, did you provide this lead about the mole?"

Chen Hui nodded. It seemed that Qi Zheng was unaware that he had provided the information.

Where did you get this clue?

"Sangji, it was Sangji who told me."

"What did he say?"

"He said that Zuo Min opened an account overseas for the son of this mole, and money would be transferred to this account every month. The account holder's surname was Zhou!"

Qi Zheng's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Could Sangji be lying to you?"

Chen Hui said firmly.

"No, I got the information out of him; he would never lie to me!"

Qi Zheng fell into deep thought again, his eyes darting around.

"You're so certain the clues are correct, but the provincial department has investigated thoroughly, including their wives, and found nothing wrong. This shouldn't be the case."

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Tan Zhigang and Wu Qiang with a serious expression.

"Old Tan, Old Wu, we might have been mistaken before. We only assumed the mole was a man, but what if the mole wasn't a man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hui and the other two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, as if they had suddenly understood something.

Yes, the mole could also be a woman.

Sangji only mentioned that his son's surname was Zhou, but the female traitor's son could also have the surname Zhou.

The provincial department had access to classified documents; the husband's surname was Zhou, so it was easy to find him.

Tan Zhigang suddenly stood up.

"I see!"
