Chapter 136 Ding Shaolan

"I really don't know each other. There are so many people coming and going in the nunnery, and there are many faces. We are here to do that kind of thing, so we won't ask too many questions." The nunnery master replied with snot and tears.

Zuo Zhong is not disappointed either. If the other party is a spy, he will definitely cover up his identity, but her relationship with Jin Renjiu deserves attention.

His tone was cold: "Tell me when they came for the first time, and the number and frequency of their usual dates. You always know these things."

"The person surnamed Jin and this woman came here last year, and they come here for private meetings every four or five days, and they haven't been here since the end of last year.

At the beginning of last month, the two came again, and they left after less than half an hour in a sneaky way. Who knew that they had a problem, it was too wronged. "

The nunnery master kept talking, and secretly glanced at Zuo Chong with a pair of small eyes, cursing secretly in his heart, not knowing which gods and gods surnamed Jin offended, and what major incident he committed to attract these murderers.

Zuo Zhong glared at her: "What is the date? Why do you say they are sneaky?"

The nunnery master racked his brains to recall for a long time: "It should be on the [-]rd. I remember that the weather was very cold that day. In the past, they would hang around for a long time when they came, and they had to be cleaned by the poor nuns, but this time they only stayed for half an hour. Drive away those who are waiting."

Zuo Zhong took out a bunch of photos from his pocket and picked out the women among them: "Look at these photos, is there any woman who is dating Jin Renjiu?"

The nunnery master quickly took it, looked at the sun, picked out one after a while, and hesitated: "It seems to be this person, but she wears a hat every time she comes, and the profile is somewhat similar."

Zuo Zhong took back the photo, looked at the gorgeous woman in the photo, the expression on his face became more serious, because the background of this woman was very complicated.

Ding Shaolan, female, 22 years old, a native of Jiaxing, her parents died early, and she studied in a school in the Shanghai Concession, so she met Jin Renjiu. The address is Xiaobailou, No. 16 Dongmen Street, Jiaxing.

After the incident, the police station approached her, and several celebrities testified that she did not go out that day. In addition, external investigations showed that the relationship between the two was not close, so her suspicion of involvement in the case was ruled out.

If the master's identification is correct, this overturns the previous investigation results. Jin Renjiu and Ding Shaolan are not only familiar with each other, but also secret lovers.

If they were meeting on the [-]rd, how did Ding Shaolan become a Japanese spy? Does Jin Renjiu's arrest and betrayal have anything to do with her?

Also, one of the celebrities who testified for her is Ding Shaolan's godfather, and he has a very familiar job - a gangster, and for some reason, he has to take the risk of perjury.

From Fan Xiong of the Jinling Cao Gang to the big bosses of the Jiaxing Cao Gang, there are always spies or suspected spies operating around these heroes. This is not a coincidence, and there is a certain inevitability in it.

The Cao Gang has a long history, is intertwined, has a wide distribution, and has great social potential. It has repeatedly fought against the Qing government and against foreign religions. It has great strength and influence. No intelligence agency will ignore this force. Therefore, the Japanese Keen to take advantage of these people is logical.

However, the Zhejiang Cao Gang is somewhat different from the Jinling Cao Gang, that is, they have stronger economic strength and have fixed business partners.

For example, in the Ningbo Merchant Gang in Zuo Zhong's hometown, those big businessmen supported a group of Jianghu people who danced with guns and clubs, and they also got in touch with the Cao Gang in Shanghai. Captive professional fighters.

In Zuo Zhong's memory, Zuo's family also had a few sturdy nursing homes. When they were young, they were responsible for the safety of the younger siblings when they went out to play. Whether it was local hooligans or the police station, they had to give some face.

These people are still in the Zuo family, and they have been protecting the safety of people and property for more than ten years. The relationship between Zhejiang Caobang and the employer is a long-term cooperative relationship.

If the Japanese break into the Zhejiang Cao Gang, they can slowly infiltrate into the Zhejiang merchant group through this relationship, and the harm will be even greater.

The nunnery was silent, the feet of the nuns and guests were numb, Zuo regained consciousness after a long time.

He beckoned Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang to his side: "Follow me to Dongmen Street to arrest Ding Shaolan, pay attention to this woman may have received professional military training, don't capsize in the gutter."

Regardless of whether Jin Renjiu's death has anything to do with Ding Shaolan, this woman has already been alarmed, but Zuo Zhong believes that she will not evacuate, and the relationship between the other party and the Cao Gang deserves further investigation.

Zuo Zhong called Gu Qi again: "Old Gu, take all the people who sent the son's nunnery back to the officer's club, and tell the guard brothers to serve snacks, and they are not allowed to touch anything, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law!"

Gu Qi stood at attention: "Yes, section chief, don't worry, I will be optimistic about them."

Yu Xingle watched eagerly from the side, and volunteered: "Chief Zuo, I will take someone with you. After all, you are not familiar with Jiaxing. I will send someone to the police station to identify the witnesses' bodies."

The East China District didn't gain anything after taking over the case. The intelligence department found out part of the case within a few days.

Zuo Zhong looked at him with a half-smile, "Since District Chief Yu is so enthusiastic, it's hard work."

Yu Xingle was overjoyed: "Thank you Section Chief Zuo, please rest assured, Section Chief Zuo, I will definitely obey the command."

"My brother, you're welcome. What is the background of that boss of the Cao Gang? Have you ever contacted East China? First go to Dongmen Street, and let's talk while walking." Zuo Zhong raised his foot and walked out.

Yu Xingle followed him: "The man's name is Lu Wenbao, he was born as a poor boy, and four of his family of five starved to death. After wandering in the north for a while, by chance, he met a noble man, and after returning to Jiaxing, he became a Cao Gang within a few years." Boss."

Zuo Chong opened the door and got into the car, and asked, "Why is the nobleman so powerful, and what aspect?"

Yu Xingle followed him into the car: "A senior member of the Cao Gang in the north, this person is dead, Lu Wenbao goes to his house every year to pay homage, many people think that he is loyal and repays his kindness."

Why is it involving the Cao Gang in the north again? Thinking about the complicated situation in the north, Zuo Zhong had a headache, and asked in detail: "Where is the big-character generation, the people here in Shanghai give him face like this, an out-of-town hall opens incense in Jiaxing?" Don is no small matter."

"Zhang Dake from the Cao Gang in Jinmen has a wide network of contacts. Several bigwigs in Shanghai have received his favors. Besides, Jiaxing is only a small place, so they agreed. In addition, Lu Wenbao, a kid, will come to the city. This kind of filial piety continues, but it's short-handed." Yu Xingle narrated the inside story.

Zhang Dake of the Cao Gang, the instigation of the Koryo Restoration Organization, and Lu Wenbao are all related to Jinmen. Is this a coincidence? Zuo Zhong believes that the key to solving all the mysteries lies in Ding Shaolan.

"Drive faster." Zuo Zhong urged.

The convoy speeded up and drove towards Dongmen Street. The spies checked their weapons. Yu Xingle saw that the equipment of the intelligence department was a little jealous. The people in the headquarters had all used PPK and Thomson. Well come.

Not to mention flashbangs, which are sharp arresting weapons, Dai Chunfeng took them very seriously, for fear of being learned by outsiders. After all, this thing is not a high-tech thing, but just a matter of thinking.

Even the use of left weights requires cumbersome procedures, and a specific report must be written on the use of each piece. As for the local stations, let's take a look, at least in the past few years, it cannot be distributed downwards.

The convoy slowed down as it drove, because there were more pedestrians and vehicles. Dongmen Street is a densely populated area in Jiaxing, with huge mansions and gardens rising and falling, and rows of shops.

There is also the Huojiaxing Station not far away, making the nearby streets even more congested. Seeing this, Zuo Zhong asked the driver to stop: "Get out of the car and walk there. It's too conspicuous for so many of us to pass by."

The spies got off the car and automatically divided into groups to blend into the crowd. Zuo Zhong led He Yijun and Yu Xingle to walk slowly along the street, scanning the house numbers on the roadside, looking for NO.16.

In fact, there was no need to look at the house number. After walking not far, an exquisite two-story white building appeared in front of the three of them. The luxurious French style made it particularly eye-catching among Chinese-style buildings.

Yu Xingle winked at Zuo Zhong, meaning whether he should act immediately, Zuo Zhong shook his head slightly to signal that he should be safe, and then he walked to a stall and greeted the boss.

"Boss, take three gorgon cakes."

"Okay, guest, please wait a moment."

The stall owner manipulated the tools deftly, wrapped the hot gorgon cake in kraft paper, and handed it to the three of Zuo Chong graciously: "Customers eat slowly, it will be hot."

Zuo Zhong took a bite carefully, and gave a thumbs up: "Thank you, boss, your gorgon cake is delicious, and the craftsmanship is good. You have been working for a long time, and you usually set up a stall here?"

The boss was a little satisfied: "I have been working for more than ten years, and it is also famous in Dongmen Street. Many foreign guests can't forget it after eating it once. I heard that the accent of the husband is not from a local, but from Ningbo."

Zuo Zhong laughed loudly: "The boss's ears are really good. I am indeed from Ningbo. This time I came to Jiaxing to discuss business. After reading it, I realized that your Jiaxing is very fashionable. There is no Western-style mansion like this in Ningbo."

The boss looked at the direction Zuo Zhong was pointing at, with a strange expression on his face, then shut his mouth and stopped talking, lowered his head and got busy with the stove.

Zuo Zhong pretended to be displeased: "Boss, what's the matter, half of what I said, did I say something wrong?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, and carefully revealed: "The goddaughter of our Jiaxing Cao Gang boss lives here. You outsiders don't want to cause trouble. If the gangsters inside hear about it, you will inevitably get beaten up."

Zuo Zhong was overjoyed, Ding Shaolan did not leave, there were gangsters inside, it seemed that Lu Wenbao sent to protect Ding Shaolan, he had to find a way to find out what was going on inside.

At this time, He Yijun cooperated very tacitly: "Thank you, boss. We are just passing by and won't cause you any trouble. Are there a lot of gangsters inside? Do they still dare to take guns?"

The boss said unhappily: "There are no guns, but there are always a dozen gangsters. When the Cao Gang comes here, there will be more people. They are so many that we little people can't afford to mess with them."

Zuo Zhong didn't speak any more, he finished eating the Gorgon fruit cake, threw the kraft paper aside, gestured to the opposite side of the road, and Wu Chunyang, who had been prepared a long time ago, came over.

Wu Chunyang walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "Do it now?"

Zuo Zhong turned around and looked at Xiaobailou: "The night is long and dreamy. The news about sending Zi'an came. This woman might run away. There are a few unarmed gangsters inside. Let the brothers keep an eye on the entrance and exit."

Wu Chunyang calmly walked into the crowd to deliver orders, and the hidden spies surrounded Xiaobailou faintly, and the passers-by on the street didn't notice it at all.

Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang walked up to Zuo Zhong with more than 20 elites, Zuo Zhong said to Yu Xingle: "Director Yu, let's go meet this mysterious Miss Ding."
