Chapter 259 Clarify
Zuo Zhong asked with a smile: "Alright, Ding Long, don't be afraid. Why are there rumors that you are backed by military forces? Is this true?"

Ding Long quickly explained: "Brother spread the news for the sake of fame, but the boss may be a soldier, and the goods he brings occasionally have steel stamps."

Stamp?

It can only be used on military and police weapons. Once stamped, the weapon will be recorded in the military committee. There are strict rules for using and scrapping the weapon. That boss is so bold.

Song Minghao's gang, with all the connections behind them, only dared to float away the weapons before they were put into storage. If the weapons were stamped in the storage, once the weapons were seized, the process of losing them could be easily traced.

Zuo Zhong asked curiously: "What is the model of the gun with the steel seal, and how did you deal with the steel seal? This thing can't be worn off, and it will be exposed after pickling."

Ding Long said with a bitter face: "There are all kinds of models. Short guns include Browning, new and old styles of Zilaide, three-piece iron, and long guns are made in Hanyang and Shui Lianzhu.

Sir, you are an expert. Unless the barrel of the gun is worn off, the steel seal will not be cleaned at all. We only polish the surface and sell it to the red goods business. "

Looking at the trembling Ding Long, Zuo Zhong felt that the boss was either courageous or poor, or insanely poor, but where did he get these junk things.

There is also Hei Liu, who is really the same as the other party, poor and arrogant, and sells standard weapons to robbers who specialize in robbery. This group of people throws away their weapons after finishing a lot of work. No wonder they are not afraid of being traced.

Then Zuo Zhong asked the most crucial thing: "You said that your boss wants to use a gun. Did Hei Liu tell you about this? What did he say at the time?"

"Yes, yes, the boss came back in a hurry and asked me to find two Brownings from the inventory. He asked that they should not be stamped, and the color should not be too new or too old.

I searched for a long time, and the only suitable one is the Browning that has been processed. The boss said that this is what the boss wants to use, let me clean it up, and it must not get stuck. "

Zuo Zhong's heart skipped a beat, was Hei Liu's own idea of ​​using the processed pistol?Then the possibility of his survival is even lower, and Japanese spies are not good at it.

He glanced at Ding Long: "You know that there was an explosion in a pharmacy in Jinling. Did the incident of taking the gun happen before or after this incident? Is there anything unusual about Hei Liu and the boss?"

Ding Long nodded desperately: "Yes, on the second day after the explosion, our boss disappeared for a whole day, took the gun six or seven days later, and took people away the next day.

Except for me, he took away three people. Those people are his real confidantes. I'm just a scrutiny, and I've never done anything outrageous.

Sir, what I said is true, I am willing to take you to catch the boss, no, Hei Liu, I know where he usually goes, and I will definitely catch him. "

Zuo Zhong became a little interested: "Where does Hei Liu usually go?"

"Technical colleges, casinos, black six love pushing Pai Gow and rolling dice."

These are of no value. If he hadn't been silenced, Hei Liu must have left Jinling. It is impossible to stay and seek death. The interrogation can come to an end.

Song Minghao secretly asked: "Section Chief, do you want to give this guy an electric chair to confirm the confession just now, these gangsters are very cunning and cannot be trusted."

Zuo nodded heavily. This kind of person is indeed telling lies. It’s good to confirm it. If you can survive, you will go to Tiger Bridge. If you can’t survive, this is life.

When he walked out of the interrogation room, he pictured in his mind the image of the boss that Ding Long confessed to. He was suspected of being a soldier, with a low status, great courage, and lack of money.

Is Zhu Jisheng poor?
This was Zuo Zhong's first reaction. Apart from the unknown economic situation, Zhu Jisheng perfectly matched the characteristics of this boss, so he had to figure it out.

The second lieutenant's military salary of 40 yuan is logically enough. After all, food and lodging are all in the barracks, and the 88th Division is a unit in the Jinling Garrison, so there is no arrears of military salary.

He was thinking about it when he heard cheers from the conference room, and hurried over. It seemed that Zhu Jisheng's camp record statistics had been completed.

Zuo Zhong pushed open the door of the meeting room, and the secret agents were packing up the original records. There were records written on the blackboard densely, and Wu Chunyang and Gu Qi were proofreading each other with the records.

Seeing Zuo Zhong coming, Gu Qi pointed to the blackboard: "Section Chief, let me compare with Chunyang, in case of transcribing and memorizing mistakes. There is really something wrong with Zhu Jisheng, you can see it after you have a look."

Zuo nodded emphatically, without disturbing their work, walked to the blackboard and looked at it. The blackboard took time as the axis, starting from the end of the 19th year of the Republic of China, and on the left was written the eighth month of Zhu's enlistment.

Simple and clear, this was Zhu Jisheng's first time out of the camp after he joined the army and completed the recruit training. There was a note on the blackboard, which read: Leaving the camp at [-]:[-] pm and returning at [-]:[-] pm, all empty-handed.

Young people from the Northwest naturally wanted to go out to see the colorful world of Jinling. It only took four hours. Maybe they were too shy, or maybe they were too timid to go far. It seemed normal.

Next, Zhu Jisheng would leave the camp every two or three months, go out empty-handed, and bring some daily necessities, as well as fresh melon and fruit snacks when he came back, no different from other soldiers who went out.

But what happened next was a bit strange. In May of the Republic of China, the first month he became the squad leader, he almost missed the time to return to camp, and he didn't bring anything back and forth. This was only the first time.

In June, Zhu Jisheng even went out of the camp every week, and the time for going out of the camp became longer as his military rank was promoted. Then, at the end of the 22nd year of the Republic of China, his record of going out of the camp disappeared.

It needs to be verified whether he has left the battalion or left the camp without keeping records. Zuo Zhong thinks the latter possibility is more likely. After working in the army for so many years and being the deputy company commander, there are always some privileges.

But this kind of privilege is accompanied by favors. Commanders at all levels of the battalion and company must be filial, the guards at the gate must always be well organized, the leading officers must be well negotiated, and the inspectors of the Military Law Department who check the post and roll call must not be forgotten.

With the frequency of his going out to the camp, that bit of military pay was not enough for him, and it was understandable for him to slip out once in a while, but why did he never go out of the camp through normal channels after 22 years.

A blank record of leaving the camp, is it hiding the track of action?
But abnormal behavior is easier to expose, wouldn't he know it?

This is what Gu Qi said was wrong, but this kind of wrong made Zuo Zhong feel that Zhu Jisheng's suspicion was relieved, because the spy could not be so stupid, let alone show so many flaws.

Going out of camp, recording, returning to camp, recording, a complete set of procedures.

Zuo Zhong stood in front of the blackboard, wrote the four steps, then folded his arms and fell into deep thought. There must be a reason for Zhu Jisheng not going out of the camp through regular channels, and the answer lies in these eight words.

After the secret agents packed up the materials, they quietly waited for orders. No one could go out without an order. Only Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang were discussing quietly in the conference room, and the clock was ticking.

Zuo Zhong was thinking about it, and suddenly picked up a chalk and drew a big circle, encircling all the steps. He seemed to know why the target didn't go out at the normal time.

Here, Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang just finished comparing the records. Seeing that Zuo Zhong made a move, the two walked over together. Gu Qi asked: "The section chief saw it, Zhu Jisheng's record is very strange."

Wu Chunyang glanced at the four steps written by Zuo Zhong on the blackboard: "Deputy Section Chief Gu and I couldn't figure out why he didn't go out of the camp through formal channels since last year, not even once."

Zuo nodded without answering, raised his hand and wrote two words on the blackboard: time.

Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang looked very puzzled, what does time have to do with the camp records.

"You've overlooked one point."

Zuo Zhong threw the chalk aside, and said with a smile: "Zhu Jisheng has his purpose in going out of the camp. To accomplish this purpose, he must leave the camp at an abnormal time, such as at night or on non-weekends."

This is easy to understand. The time for the military camp to go out is on weekends and during the day. Zhu Jisheng did not leave the camp through formal channels because even if he left the camp on weekends, he would not be able to accomplish a certain purpose.

But Gucci quickly raised a question: "Then why didn't he pretend to leave the camp on the weekend and return to the camp once, so as to cover up his abnormal track, and the record is too suspicious."

Zuo laughed sharply: "Who said he didn't want to cover up his whereabouts, it's just that he couldn't do it. Don't be so rigid. Sometimes the problem is very simple, but you think it's complicated."

Wu Chunyang was the first to react, and he clapped his hands: "Zhu Jisheng is not only out of the camp, but also stays out at night, and even stays outside for several days. He is not in the barracks when he is out of camp on weekends."

Gu Qi slapped his thigh and regretted: "I never thought that this guy is so courageous. The soldier left his post without authorization and was found by the Military Law Department. He will be shot. What the hell is he doing when he goes out?"

That's right, what is Zhu Jisheng's important business? It's not enough to go to camp on weekends. If he has to spend money and energy to go out for so long, could it be related to the spies?
Zuo Chong turned around abruptly and asked, "How did you make sure that Zhu Jisheng didn't run away?"

Wu Chunyang quickly replied: "I still called in the name of military inspection. The officers and soldiers of the 523 regiment were all in the camp that day. I was afraid that this would not be safe, so I found a relationship to confirm."

Zuo Zhong was a little surprised: "What relationship do you have in the army, will you be discovered?"

Wu Chunyang explained: "Section Chief, you still remember the case of the hot spring sanatorium, the second lieutenant who was on duty at the gate, I had dinner with him a few times after the case was over, and he served as the lieutenant company commander in the 88th Division."

Oh, that's right, it seems that everyone is building their own network, since it has been confirmed through internal relations, Wu Chunyang is very reliable in his work.

For Zhu Jisheng to stay outside for so long, he must have already fed some people. It is not safe to ask only by phone. Now that we can start the next step.

"Go out and keep it secret."

Zuo Zhong drove the little spies out, and whispered to Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang: "Old Gu, Chunyang, let the outside world know that Xu Enzeng has a good relationship with Mrs. Yuan's wife."
