Chapter 357 Found it

Yu Zecheng walked to the door and showed his Bashengyuan Information Group ID to the security guard.

This thing is much more impressive than the Secret Service.

"Commander Yu, please take off your belt and shoes. We need to conduct a routine inspection." The guard in charge of security checks at the door was a bit dogmatic.

"Take off your shoes?
"It's a bit too harsh." Yu Zecheng said with a amiable smile.

"I'm sorry, this is the rule set by the higher-ups and Minister Yan Xishan.

"All intelligence agencies must be strict in maintaining confidentiality, and the Ministry of National Defense is no exception."

The guard saluted him.

"All right!
"Xiao Zhang, let him go."

Just as Yu Zecheng was secretly grumbling, Wu Zhiqing's adjutant Nie Xi came over and waved his hand.

"Adjutant Nie, this..."

Xiao Zhang was a little embarrassed, so he simply searched Yu Zecheng's pockets, registered him, and then let him go.

"Thanks."

Yu Zecheng smiled and walked out calmly.

"Sir, if Minister Yan finds out about this, we'll be in trouble." Xiao Zhang frowned in confusion.

“Then you have to score points too.

“Can’t you see that this is Bashengyuan and that they are from Jianfeng?

"Don't be fooled by his smiling face. He is an old spy of the Military Control Commission who once assassinated Li Haifeng. If he wants to make things difficult for you, you might end up being killed in Machang Town tomorrow."

Nie Xi pretended to be serious and concerned to scare him.

When Baba Town was mentioned, the guard's expression changed immediately: "Yes, yes, I understand."

"Okay, I won't make this public and no one will know about it, just pretend it never happened.

“Remember, don’t talk nonsense to others.

"Otherwise, if you lose your head someday, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Nie Xi patted his shoulder and said.

"Yes, yes!

"Thank you for your guidance, sir." The guard bowed and nodded quickly.

Right now, people are killing each other every day in Bachang Town.

Not only Hong Piao was terrified, but all departments of the National Government were also wary of Jianfeng's data group, for fear that they would be harassed.

Fortunately, Adjutant Nie reminded me, otherwise I would have been in big trouble today.

……

Yu Zecheng returned to the car, his entire back soaked with cold sweat.

He was not in a hurry to find Zuo Lan.

This timing is not appropriate.

When he got back to the office, he quickly took off his leather shoes. The shoes were a little too small and his toes were almost cramping from wearing them.

Rest for a while.

Hong Zhiyou walked in: "Old Yu, where have you been?"

"Oh, didn't Jianfeng say last time that he would audit the military expenditure accounts of the Ministry of National Defense? I went to check the accounts and plan to transfer two people over to check the accounts tomorrow." Yu Zecheng said.

"is it?
"You have to go see Zuo Lan tonight, right?" Hong Zhiyou whispered.

"You know... could it be!" Yu Zecheng subconsciously thought that Deputy Director Wu had been exposed, so Hong Zhiyou guessed that he was going to make the contact.

"No, Lao Zheng has not been caught yet.

“However, it’s not appropriate for you to see Zuo Lan when you’re old.

"We need to have a plan."

Hong Zhiyou reminded.

"I'm from Jibei. I've loved eating steamed buns since I was a kid. I can't get used to the food here in Wanbei, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to eat steamed buns, right?"

As a person with a delicate and deep mind, Yu Zecheng has seriously considered this issue.

Moreover, he didn't specifically order the buns from Zuo Lan's family.

He often hangs out on that street and has been to almost every bun shop.

There are two or three restaurants in particular that taste really good and I go there very often.

In this way, even if Mao Renfeng finds out that he is the one behind the investigation, the risk of Zuo Lan being suspected can be reduced.

“In theory, there’s no problem.

“But the more people you come into contact with, once the people you have come into contact with are exposed, all your actions will be magnified.

“Then Zuo Lan will be very obvious.

"Even if you have tried to cover up something, given Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng's style of preferring to kill three thousand people by mistake rather than let one person go, he is very likely to arrest all the bun sellers on that street."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Yes.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Yu Zecheng knew that since Hong Zhiyou said this, he must have a plan.

“You have to ask someone to contact Zuo Lan from time to time.

"It would be best if it is someone that both Jianfeng and Mao Renfeng trust very much." Hong Zhiyou said.

"Are you referring to Gu Zhengwen from the Detection and Prevention Team, and Director Ye Xiang?" Yu Zecheng understood immediately.

“Ye Xiangzhi can’t do that.

“He’s from the south and doesn’t like eating buns.

"Gu Zhengwen is from Shanxi, he can do it."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"I heard that Team Leader Gu was nearly poisoned by his wife a few years ago. He refused to drink the food or water in the canteen of the Bureau of Secrets and brought his own food to work every time.

“It is said that he would not even drink the tea from Mao Renfeng and Jianfeng.

"Why would such a person go to a strange bun shop?
"It's unreasonable."

Yu Zecheng frowned and looked at Hong Zhiyou, very puzzled.

“It is precisely because it is unreasonable that he was chosen.

“Why would you go to a bun shop when you don’t even drink water outside?
"Isn't that just to pass on information?
"That's suspicious."

Hong Zhiyou laughed.

"If anyone wants to make a fuss about this, you can openly defend yourself by saying that if Gu Zhengwen can go, why can't you?" he continued.

Yu Zecheng laughed, pointed at him and said, "You are so cunning! It seems that you have a way to lead him to Zuo Lan?"

"Gu Zhengwen likes antiques, so it's not difficult to trick him.

"There are cowboys on the streets of Jinan...

Hong Zhiyou lowered his voice and explained the plan in detail.

“That’s a good idea.

"Okay, I'll remember it." Yu Zecheng nodded happily.

"By the way, is there any news about Lao Zheng?"

On second thought, he asked nervously.

"What news do you have?" Hong Zhiyou asked back.

"Comrade Lao Zheng was very determined. He vowed to fight to the end and was determined to stay on the island. The people from the East China Bureau tried to persuade him, but it was useless.

“After all, he is a loyal and reliable old comrade.

“Don’t fear life or death!
“It’s really admirable.”

Yu Zecheng sighed sincerely.

"puff!"

Hong Zhi spat out a mouthful of tea.

Chai Qian swore his loyalty until death?

He couldn't bear to leave his little lover, so he raised a lot of funds and the Bolero Western Steak Bar.

Now everyone in mainland China, from top to bottom, is working hard to produce.

Even if Chai Qian sneaked back, not only would he be out of work for a short period of time, but he would also have to work every day.

Staying in the Bay Island is risky.

But he is the person in charge, and no one can supervise or restrict him.

If he is not caught, he can enjoy a good life. If he is caught, he can transform himself into an important member of the Kuomintang and continue to enjoy a good life.

It's a win-win situation anyway.

For someone like Chai Qian, whose faith has long been corrupted by material things, it would be impossible for him to go back.

"Zhiyou, you haven't been feeling well lately." Yu Zecheng asked uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" Hong Zhiyou raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"You seem to have something against our person in charge, just... just like you did with Liu Wensheng." Yu Zecheng frowned.

"Liu Wensheng?"

Hong Zhiyou remembered that important member of the Jinhai Prefectural Committee.

However, comparing Liu Wensheng to Chai Qian is really an insult to Liu Wensheng.

At least Liu Wensheng didn't attack his sister-in-law.

Nor do they covet steaks, red wine, or enjoy a luxurious life.

He was simply afraid of death.

Moreover, because Liu Wensheng was not familiar with the district committee staff, the destructive power he could cause was limited.

Chai Qian has been working in the industry for many years, and many experienced old comrades have been deceived, and their lives and property are in his hands.

His betrayal was almost a devastating blow to the underground organization on Wandao Island.

"You can understand it this way." Hong Zhiyou said.

“He’s still on the run!

"How do you know he will rebel?

"Indifference and contempt, this is idealistic criticism."

Yu Zecheng corrected Hong Zhiyou seriously.

"Ha ha!"

Hong Zhi ignored him, covered his face and walked out with a smile.

"This kid..." Yu Zecheng was speechless.

……

Six pm.

Yu Zecheng walked into Zuo Lan's bun shop carrying a briefcase.

I ordered a bowl of spicy soup and a tray of buns.

Yu Zecheng eats very slowly.

This is his dining style in every restaurant. He starts with slow steps to prevent someone from following him and arousing suspicion by staying alone in Zuo Lan for too long.

"Zecheng, is there any news?" Zuo Lan asked after there were no outsiders in the store.

Yu Zecheng took out the information and handed it to Zuo Lan.

Zuo Lan took it and said happily: "Great, with these military maps, the Third Field Army will be more confident in conquering Zhoushan and Kinmen."

“Give it to Ms. Zhu Yan as soon as possible.

“In two days, several ships carrying food to Tokyo will depart from Wandao. Two of the cargo ships belong to Zhiyou. He has already made arrangements for Ms. Zhu to leave on the ship.

"No one dares to check this ship. When she arrives in Tokyo, the Rong family will arrange for her to return to Hong Kong Island."

Yu Zecheng said as he drank the soup.

"I understand." Zuo Lan nodded.

"I have to go."

Yu Zecheng finished the last bun, stood up and said goodbye.

……

The night is getting darker.

Gu Youniu, with his hair combed back, a floral shirt, and a shining gold necklace around his neck, staggered out of the nightclub with his arms around the dancer's waist and the shoulders of Luo Youzhang and others.

"Aniu, Mr. Zhang, let's stop here for today.

"We'll continue drinking tomorrow.

"Good...good brothers, let's get rich together!"

With the help of his younger brother, Luo Youzhang got into the car drunk.

"Okay, Lord Luo.

"See you tomorrow."

Gu Youniu waved and saw him off to the car.

"Mr. Zhang, I'll take you home." Gu Youniu asked with a smile to the bald man beside him, with cigar smoke rising from his mouth.

The bald man's name is Zhang Zheng.

He was the former head of the Japanese Songdao Hydropower Company.

After Peng Mengji and Chen Cheng took over the enterprises left behind by the Japanese, they used a group of old people to ensure the operation of electricity and water power on the island. Zhang Zheng was one of them.

"Mr. Zhang, are you satisfied with today's hospitality?" Gu Youniu asked with a smile.

"well.

"Brother, I am an old Wan citizen. I dare not say anything else, but there is no one in the municipal army who will not...will not give me face.

"If you have any problems in the future, just report my name."

Zhang Zheng patted his chest and said with a breath of alcohol.

"Sure, sure." "Brother Zhang, let me take you back." Gu Youniu said hurriedly.

"Ali, why are you still standing there? Help Mr. Zhang get in the car." Gu Youniu pushed the dancer next to him who had half of her chest exposed.

"Boss Zhang, get in the car."

The dancer named Ali gave Zhang Zheng a seductive look and delicately helped him into the car.

"Good, good, good."

As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Zheng hugged the dancer with a wolfish smile.

Gu Youniu drove the car, slowly circling around several streets in the north of the bay.

When passing by a small villa on Beijing Normal University Road.

Gu Youniu opened the door and said, "Boss Zhang, I'm thirsty. Let me ask for a cup of tea."

"Go, go ahead."

Zhang Zheng and the dancer were flirting in the back row and waved his hand and gave instructions.

Gu Youniu got out of the car and rang the doorbell.

soon.

The door opened.

A pot-bellied man opened the door impatiently:

"What are you pressing? Where did this drunkard come from? It's so late, are you looking for trouble?"

When he saw that it was Gu Youniu, he was even more furious: "Why are you here again? I've already told you that I'm not interested in working with you. Get out of here right now."

"Mr. Jia, are you sure you are not interested?" Gu Youniu smiled.

He shouted at the car: "Brother, this guy doesn't care about me, what should I do?"

Zhang Zheng leaned his head out of the car in a daze, cursing, "Damn it, I wonder who in Wanbei dares not to give me face!"

When the fat man named Mr. Jia saw this, his face changed drastically. He quickly ran out in his pajamas like a pug: "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"

"Jabosong?

"Aniu is my brother, you, you should listen to him." Zhang Zheng said in confusion.

"Yes, yes." Jabot nodded like a grouse pecking at rice.

He is the manager of the Bay North District Water and Power Branch.

A few days ago, Gu Youniu came to the office and said that he wanted to take a look at the water and electricity consumption in several major blocks in the northern district and enter the water and electricity industry.

Of course Jia Bosong ignored him and sent him away on the spot.

I didn’t expect that Gu Youniu was actually related to Zhang Zheng.

He turned back, changed his face and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, I don't have the list. How about we go to my office tomorrow to discuss it?"

"it is good.

"It's getting late. I'm just thirsty and want a glass of water." Gu Youniu handed him a cigarette.

"What are you asking for?

"It's my honor to have Brother Gu visit me. Please ask Mr. Zhang to come in and have a couple of drinks." Jia Bosong said.

“No, no.

"I'm really thirsty. Manager Jia, just pour me a glass of warm water. I'm in a hurry to send Mr. Zhang home." Gu Youniu said.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Jia Bosong quickly poured some water, and after Gu Youniu finished drinking it, he bowed and nodded as he sent the two men away.

Gu Youniu drove Zhang Zheng back to the mansion.

The next day.

He came to the district's water and electricity company and met Jia Bosong.

"Brother, these are the water and electricity payment records of residents living in Tai'an Road, Xinsheng South Road and other areas. Please take a look." Jia Bosong crossed his legs and handed him a stack of information.

Gu Youniu carefully looked at the streets that Hong Zhiyou had instructed.

"Business isn't very good. Most of the people aren't using much water or electricity." Gu Youniu said as he turned the pages.

“It used to be profitable.

“However, after the government moved here, the major political and military institutions consumed a huge amount of electricity, and all of them were supplied with water and electricity for free. The little financial subsidy they received was only enough to repair the water and electricity and install a few electric poles.

“Not to mention the political and military levels, most of the big electricity users who can afford air conditioning, phonographs, and colorful dance floors are important figures in the government, except for some wealthy people.

"Let's not talk about anything else. In the private residences of Zheng Jieming and Mao Renfeng, their wives are big electricity users, and they can break two or three air conditioners a year.

“But who dares to collect it?

"Am I right."

Jia Bosong held a cigarette in his mouth and started to complain.

“It seems that this business is indeed not easy to do.

“What’s going on with this house?

"I noticed that the water and electricity consumption of the houses around here is not high, but her house is almost as high as the small shopping mall outside."

Gu Youniu pointed to a private residence on Quanzhou Road.

“This one.

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that this area is full of old houses.

"Someone from our company came to repair it, and it was a small but complete machine.

“This house has two air conditioners installed.

"There's also a dance floor with colorful lights, a phonograph, and all those high-end foreign gadgets, her house has them all.

“According to our people, the hostess is not very old.

“About twenty years old.

“She’s pretty and fresh, and she dresses fashionably.

"Hehe, there's no doubt that this is a canary raised by some rich person."

Jia Bosong laughed dryly.

Gu Youniu silently wrote down the house number, looked it up carefully, asked a few people, and then stood up and said:

“Hey, it seems that the water and electricity business is not easy to work in.

"Boss Jia, this bill of exchange from you is like a slap in the face. It has completely woken me up.

“It’s just a small gift, not a token of respect.

"I'll treat you and Mr. Zhang to a drink some other day."

As he spoke, he handed over a stack of Cuban imported cigars.

“Don’t dare, don’t dare.

“Brother, we are all brothers, so we should visit each other often.

"By the way, give me your rice and grain shop, and your water and electricity bills will be 70% off... No, forget it.

"We are brothers, so I can make the final decision on this matter."

As soon as Zhang Zheng was mentioned, Jia Bosong quickly put down his legs and smiled flatteringly.

"Brother Jia, thank you very much. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Let's meet later."

Gu Youniu shook hands with him and drove away.

Arrived at the roadside.

He stepped on the brakes, and Sun Xing, who was reading a newspaper, lowered his hat and got into the passenger seat of the car.

The car started, and Sun Xing asked, "Any clues?"

"Yes.

“There are several suspects here.

"Among them, at No. 26 Quanzhou Road, there is a woman named Xu Li, whose age matches the information given by Brother Hong. She lives in a small house in a deep alley, but she lives a luxurious life. There are two Carrier air conditioners and a phonograph in the house.

“It is most likely Chai Qian’s secretary.

"Look, let's try to find the person tonight."

There is a cattle path in the valley.

"Open your mouth." Sun Xing opened the box, broke off a piece of chocolate and handed it over.

Gu Youniu opened his mouth to take it and smiled: "It's OK, it's actually the authentic stuff, not the stuff in the grocery store that says "chocolate" but fills your mouth with crumbs when you chew it.

"Where did you get it?"

"Inspector Hong gave it to me because he was afraid that I would have hypoglycemia." Sun Xing boasted with a bit of pride.

"I guess so. Apart from Boss Hong, who else would be so generous?" Gu Youniu was quite envious.

"This box is for you." Sun Xing said.

"Put me down at the next intersection," he said.

"I understand." Gu Youniu nodded.

"There is a cow, and there is a saying... Never mind, I won't say it anymore." Sun Xing seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Mad, I hate people like you the most, so boring.

"You're just keeping me in suspense."

Gu Youniu cursed.

“Well, Inspector Hong asked me today, what do you think about arresting Chai Qian?
"You know that I used to be at Jinhai Station, and I came into contact with a lot of intelligence with Inspector Ma Kui and Inspector Hong. I know a little about your affairs." Sun Xing treated him as a brother and spoke frankly.

Gu Youniu was silent for a moment and said, "Brother Xing, there is no need for me to lie to you about our relationship.

“I was definitely a red ticket in the past.

“It is now.

“In the future too.

“Faith never dies!
“But I know what I’m doing, and I know what Hong is doing.

“So I work with him, and it never conflicts with my identity.

“I believe in him as much as I believe in my faith.

"It's that simple.

"He must have his reasons for wanting to arrest Chai Qian, and you've also seen what Chai Qian did!
“Doesn’t this prove that Brother Hong is right?

"It's just that I'm not a member of the anti-traitor team, and Brother Hong didn't give the order to get rid of him. Otherwise, if I find him, I will get rid of him without hesitation at the first opportunity."

"Well, then I feel relieved. Inspector Hong did not choose the wrong person. He told me to discuss everything with you and listen to you." Sun Xing felt relieved, touched the scar on his face and smiled.

"Don't talk about me, what about you?
"You used to be a ruthless executioner of the old Military Control Commission and a loyal lackey of Mao Renfeng. How come you are united with Brother Hong?" Gu Youniu asked back.

"I?

“You’re right, I used to be a dog.

"but now……"

Sun Xing opened the box and broke off a large piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth. He opened the car door and jumped out. He waved to Gu Youniu:

“Now I’m a human being!

"As long as Inspector Hong still believes in me, my life belongs to him."

"Hey, don't forget the physical check-up." Gu Youniu shouted at him.

"Fuck.

"Everyone will die sooner or later!
“My blood, if it has to be shed, can only be shed with knives and guns, not even dogs will go to the hospital!

"Go find a doctor to give me a medical report later, and that'll be enough."

Sun Xing cursed.

"Fuck you, get out!"

Gu Youniu had just had a physical examination in the morning. He said "Pooh" to him and stepped on the accelerator to go and investigate.

……

No. 26 Quanzhou Road.

Xu Li, a beautiful lady in a corseted long skirt, put on a mask and a sun hat, and quietly walked out from the back door in high heels.

Turning out of the alley, she hailed a rickshaw:

"Master, let's go to Polly Lucy's restaurant."

"Okay, please sit down."

The rickshaw driver took her to the western restaurant.

Xu Li packed a Western meal and called a rickshaw to go back.

Sitting in the rickshaw, she took out a handful of New Taiwan dollars from her wallet, quietly put them in the lunch box, and then sealed the bag.

When we were almost to Quanzhou Road.

Xu Li threw the lunch box into the trash can nearby.

"Madam, why did you throw away the food?" the driver asked curiously.

"I suddenly lost my appetite." Xu Li said.

Across the street, she got out of the car and went back into the alley.

The driver quickly returned, took off his hat, and revealed a stern face. It was Xiao Guohua.

Xiao Guohua brought eight old subordinates from the mainland.

These people are Wu Jingzhong and Hong Zhiyou's absolute confidants.

In terms of execution and professional quality, it is in no way inferior to Ye Xiangzhi's Second Department.

"Keep an eye on that trash can.

"Remember, no matter who it is.

"Once you take that Western food, arrest them immediately on the spot."

Xiao Guohua said coldly.

"Yes, Chief." The subordinates gladly accepted the order and scattered and hid in various places.
