Chapter 382 The Secret Passage
At the monitoring point near Tangzi Alley, Zuo Zhong looked at the street in the night, feeling a little uneasy. Tianfu likes to play tricks and is suspicious, so he can't give up the opportunity to ask directly.

But after he and Wu Chunyang came, Min Ping's residence has been very quiet, no pedestrians pass by or stay near Tangzi Lane, Tianfu can't be invisible, maybe he thinks too much.

It's a pity that in order to prevent surprises, the monitoring points can't be too close, and monitoring equipment can't be installed, otherwise the matter will be simple, and now I can't ask Min Ping, so I can only wait.

But after a long time, Tangzi Lane is still calm and quiet, a little scary, except for a few scattered lights, most of the residents have fallen asleep, and the target residence is also lit.

Zuo Zhong thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's ten o'clock, section chief." Wu Chunyang looked at his watch.

Zuo Zhong frowned: "What time did the target turn off the lights yesterday?"

"A quarter past nine." Wu Chunyang also realized something was wrong.

Zuo Zhong squinted his eyes and sat on the stool. Could it be that something happened to Min Ping? This is unlikely. The purpose of Tianfu seeing Min Ping is to screen, not to silence, so he will not directly kill the killer.

Besides, facing Tianfu who came to her door, Min Ping would definitely be more vigilant. Both sides are professional agents, excluding sneak attacks, it would not be so easy for Tianfu to kill her quietly.

Is this Min Ping reporting the letter?
Zuo Zhong raised his head suddenly and looked towards Tangzi Lane. Tianfu had already come, and it was right under their noses. How did the other party come and leave calmly, and why was it not discovered.

Wu Chunyang's political intelligence unit is all old people, and he has rich experience in fighting spy. He is the first to not believe that the other party can hide from the eyes of these old intelligence through disguise.

It doesn't seem right either.

There are no suspicious people on the street, so what if the other party didn't pass through the street? This is an old neighborhood with relatively low walls, and trained intelligence personnel can easily climb over it.

Just like Jiang Jincai in the Butterfly case, this person once jumped over the fence and jumped out of the normal walking track when he was conducting anti-stalking, so Tianfu can also use this method to enter and exit secretly.

"Chunyang, the surrounding map."

"Yes, Chief."

Zuo Zhong asked Wu Chunyang to find the map, took it, spread it out on the table, picked up a weak oil lamp, and carefully checked the surrounding terrain, although he was already very familiar with these situations.

But things on paper are more intuitive than memories, and there will always be omissions in memories. The map can overlook the scene from a global perspective, and it is convenient to search for the secret passages in and out of Tianfu.

Holding the oil lamp in one hand, he slid his finger on the map. First of all, to the south of Tangzi Lane is Huiwen Women's School, with patrolling guards inside, and a long row of electric lights beside the wall. This road is blocked.

On the Zhongshan Road in the west, pedestrians and vehicles pass by from time to time, and it is easy to be found when crossing from here. The monitoring point there did not find any abnormalities, so this direction can also be ruled out.

As for Tangzi Alley to the east, there is a dead end called Langhou Street. Going south is a residential area, and going north through Beimen Bridge is Zhujiang Road. The monitoring point of Beimen Bridge also found nothing.

So where will the other party go from here.

Zuo Zhong put down the oil lamp, straightened up and began to think. Now there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Tianfu is hiding in Huiwen Women's School, and the second possibility is that the passage of Tianfu is very secret.

He turned his head and asked Wu Chunyang: "How is the situation of Huiwen Women's School, especially those handymen who move freely. Is there any problem with their background, or their usual behavior is relatively secretive."

"No, the handyman's background is normal. They are all middle-aged people with a family and a family. The relationship network and action track are very clear. There is no such thing as a long-term loss of track. This is for sure."

Wu Chunyang replied affirmatively: "As for the teachers and students of the school, they either live in the dormitory, or go home to rest after school, and now there are only a few guards in the school responsible for patrolling.

These guards have been in our sight all the time, none of them have approached Tangzi Lane, and these people are very conscientious, patrolling several times after dark, and no one has sneaked in. "

Huiwen Girls' School can temporarily put it down.

In this way, it was basically concluded that the other party used a secret passage to enter and exit, excluding the three directions of east, south and west, this passage could only be in the north, Zuo Zhong turned his attention to the map.

To the north of Tangzi Lane is Zhujiang Road, but there is an unnamed river in the middle. This river is part of the moat of the former dynasty and connects the large and small rivers, ponds and ditches in Jinling City.

From the map, the small river crosses half of Jinling to the east, and can reach many places, such as the Nationalist Government and Kunlu Temple, and crosses the not far Zhongshan Road to the west, and then flows outside the city.

Beimen Bridge crosses it to connect Langhou Street and Zhujiang Road. Could it be that Tianfu is the Tangzi Lane that enters and exits through the river?

"Chunyang."

Zuo Zhong patted the map vigorously: "Tomorrow, we will start monitoring the small river in the north, hunting geese all day long, and finally being pecked by geese. The bastard of Tianfu is playing hide-and-seek with us, shit."

Wu Chunyang immediately understood, and smashed his palms: "I was so focused on the road in front of me that I forgot about the waterway. If I had thought of this earlier, I might have caught the other party by now."

This cannot be blamed on him. Although Jinling City is densely covered with water networks, after years of construction and landfilling, many rivers have become dead-end rivers or lakes, losing their original transportation functions.

In addition, the population has increased rapidly in recent years, which has caused a large amount of domestic and industrial wastewater to be discharged. It is better to say that it is a stinky ditch than a river. In this case, few people pay attention to this channel.

He said dejectedly: "It is said that when a prisoner was robbed, the underground party jumped out of the blockade through the river. I will definitely learn a lesson and never make such a mistake."

Zuo Zhong waved his hand after listening: "This is not entirely your responsibility. I also just realized that Tianfu will really kill the carbine. It's not too late to make up for it. Just pay more attention when deploying control in the future."

In fact, he was quite annoyed in his heart. After all, it was his idea that the underground party retreated through the river. Now that it was changed to him, he had forgotten it. This is still not comprehensive enough to think about the problem.

They only thought that Tianfu might secretly observe Min Ping, but they didn't expect that the other party would dare to show up, but it's useless to regret it, they can only see if they can find the clues left by the other party.

And it has to be done as soon as possible, because the nearby residents will go to the river to empty the toilet after dawn, which will inevitably destroy the traces of the scene. This is the first time they have seen the shadow of Tianfu, and they must seize the opportunity.

"Chunyang, immediately find an empty wine bottle, fill it with water, and bring some medical alcohol over here. I'll go to the river to have a look. Pay attention to the movement around you, the other party may not have left yet."

While unbuttoning his coat, Zuo Zhong warned: "Don't do anything if you are not absolutely sure. Tianfu is a frightened bird. Once it finds us, it will be troublesome to go into hibernation."

"Good section chief." Wu Chunyang nodded.

The supplies at the monitoring point are complete, and there is no shortage of alcohol for washing the wound, but the wine bottle is not easy to find. Finally, I found a vinegar bottle, which can be used at will. The little spy quickly prepared the things.

Zuo Zhong picked up the alcohol and took a sip, rinsed his mouth and spat it out, then poured some on his collar and cuffs, making sure that he could smell it from a long distance, and then walked out with the bottle.

At this point, only drunkards and beggars are still wandering outside, except for the workers who come back from work. There is a night market not far from here, and the drunkards who pretend to be late come back are more harmonious with the surrounding environment.

This is the point of camouflage reconnaissance.

Zuo Zhong walked out of the monitoring point, first put water in the nearby alley, then grabbed the belt with his left hand and the wine bottle with his right hand, and walked unsteadily along the back street of the corridor, towards the small river.

He stumbled along the way, sometimes leaning on the wall and groping forward, sometimes lowering his head and making a sound of vomiting, and occasionally raised the wine bottle and took a few sips to his mouth, humming a little tune indiscriminately.

Wu Chunyang in the distance didn't pay attention to what Zuo Zhong was doing, but focused on checking the surroundings, monitoring under the unsatisfactory lighting conditions, which really tested the eyesight of the surveillance personnel.

A fleeting reflection, a looming black shadow, if you don't pay attention, you will miss it, but in the era without night vision equipment, intelligence personnel can only monitor in this way.

After carefully checking the surroundings, Wu Chunyang did not find any trace of Tianfu. This may be because the other party hid it well, or it may be that the other party has left and needs to continue to observe.

He then focused on the buildings by the river. If Tianfu was still in Tangzi Lane and saw the section chief go to the river, he would definitely make a move. As long as the other party moved, the matter would be simple.

Zuo Zhong's walking speed is neither fast nor slow, if it is too slow, it looks deliberate, while a really drunk person walks not slowly, but his reaction is relatively slow, too fast and it looks too fake, this is difficult to grasp.

From the monitoring point to the river, it takes a normal person five or six minutes to complete the journey. He walked for seven or eight minutes, which is considered a normal range. Zuo Chong scanned his surroundings, and there was no one near the river bank.

Like all rivers in Jinling City, this river has the functions of washing rice and vegetables, dumping garbage, disposing of human excrement, and washing clothes.

In order to realize these functions, a wooden trestle bridge extends to the middle of the river, which is convenient for residents to get water, and it is also a good landing place.

This is because the river has not been dredged and cleared all year round, and a thick layer of silt has accumulated on the bank. Unless Tianfu doesn't mind seeing Min Ping smelly, he must go ashore through the trestle bridge.

So what will be the opponent's means of transportation, swimming?Considering that the other party may be a doctor, with such an educational background, he should not be able to swim in a river full of human excrement.

ferry?There is only this possibility.

Zuo Zhong sat on the wooden pile of the trestle bridge, pouring cold water into his stomach one mouthful at a time, thinking about a question in his mind, if Tianfu used a boat, then the boat was borrowed, or it was his own.

　Don't forget!Don't forget!Remember the history and pay homage to the compatriots who died together!
