Chapter 663
"Yo, Lao Bai, I'm lecturing you."

Just as the Jinling police officers were greeting Bai Wenzhi's mother, a frivolous voice sounded, and the violent police officer just wanted to say something, but his mouth was tightly covered by the person next to him.

The speaker wore a wide-brimmed top hat and black clothes, and acted furtively. There was no one who met these three conditions except the secret service agents, and they just watched the important people's affairs.

"Damn. Oh, Deputy Director Zuo."

Bai Wenzhi even performed a face-changing performance in public. When he heard someone calling him Lao Bai, he just wanted to turn around and scold them, but when he saw Zuo Zhong, who was smiling, his heart went bald, and he immediately turned into a playful smile.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, half of the people will be separated later to set up checkpoints to block traffic on Baixia Road, Fudong Street, Niupi Street, Ganyu Lane, Heilang Street, Fangkou Lane, and Xingkou Street. "

Zuo Zhong was too lazy to talk nonsense with this skinless and shameless guy, he took out a map from his pocket and put it on the hood of the car beside him, and arranged specific tasks with him by the illumination of the street lamps.

"The rest of the police are in a group of five, and cooperate with my people to search the house. You'd better pick one and send as many experienced criminal policemen and detectives as possible. I will give you credit for catching the spies."

If you want the horse to run fast, you need to feed the horse more grass. Zuo Zhong understands this truth very well, and the police can indeed act by orders alone, but this is completely for errands and the efficiency is too low.

It's better to throw out some practical benefits. Such a big case is enough for the Secret Service and the Police Department to share the credit. Anyway, even if he makes great contributions, it is impossible for him to be promoted again during the suspension period.

Sure enough, when Bai Wenzhi heard the word credit, his eyes glowed faintly green in the dark, as if he saw a wild dog with fleshy bones, and the other police officers also cheered up.

"Hey, I'm so sorry. It's our police station's duty to cooperate with you. I don't care if I get credit or not. The main reason is that my brothers haven't moved up for a long time."

Bai Wenzhi was the one who got cheap and acted like a good boy. He grinned and said something beautiful, and by the way, he gave his confidant a wink, telling him to immediately follow Zuo Zhong's order to choose people.

"Okay, start to act, send a signal!"

Zuo Zhong resisted the urge to slap this bastard in the face. The Guodang was completely hopeless. It was absurd to let such a shameless person be the head of the Metropolitan Police Department.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch, the hour hand jumped to nine o'clock, and he gave an order to Gucci with a black face. Gucci took out a flare gun from the car and aimed at the dark night sky and pulled the trigger.

With a bang, a red signal bounced into the air. The nearby residents didn't know what happened, and all raised their heads curiously. Only the children thought it was fireworks bouncing and jumping there.

In a two-story old-fashioned residential building not far from Baixia Road, a young man in a suite on the second floor heard the sound and leaned against the window, staring at the slowly falling signal bomb, his face changed.

Too bad, Pang Chong spat.

He knew that the other party was not trustworthy at all. This kind of guy who has been in the Republic of China for so many years may have regarded himself as a Chinese, so he should use it and silence everything.

Without hesitation, the young man rushed to the study and grabbed a few blueprints in his hands. He quickly ran to the kitchen to pick up the kettle, rolled up the blueprints and threw them into the hearth of the coal stove.

With the aid of combustion, the flames became more vigorous, and the blueprint was turned into ashes in the anxious eyes of this person. The young man was still worried and used the tongs to exchange the top honeycomb briquette with the second piece①.

In this way, Ashes would not be easily found. After doing this, he cleaned up the traces on his body and the kitchen, and calmly sat on the sofa in the living room, waiting for his opponent to arrive.

When the young man was destroying the evidence, Zuo Zhong took an old man from the Operations Department, two new recruits, and five veteran police officers who had worked as criminal police officers for more than ten years to conduct a search according to the household register.

"Beep, beep."

"who?"

"Check the police station and open the door."

"Okay, okay, wait a minute."

When they came to the door of the first search target, the special agent of the Operations Division stood on the side of the door and knocked on the door, explaining the purpose of coming to the residents inside, and touched the gun on the waist with his right hand calmly.

Zuo Zhong nodded in satisfaction, and then saw the newcomers standing stupidly at the door, and the old policeman hiding by the side laughing, so angry that he really wanted to kick the two guys aside.

Stretching out his hand to pull the two fools aside, he scolded in a low voice: "How is the training class taught? Do you want to be shot? If the person inside is a spy, you are already dead!

In the future, even if you are in the office, if you knock on the door, stand outside the possible shooting range. If I see you doing such stupid things, go back to the police academy for retraining, and go to the back. "

"Ah? It's the deputy director."

"The information says that the household is a family."

One of the newcomers was still a little unconvinced, or wanted to show in front of the chief, to prove that he had done the preparation work first, and there were such smart people everywhere.

He thinks that the target is a family, so it is impossible to be a spy. After all, in the logic of most people, those who do intelligence are lone rangers. The more concerns, the greater the danger, but the enemy is not a fool.

For people like Pang Chong, who would have thought that the other party was a spy, such situations will inevitably occur in future work, and holding such a preconceived work attitude is harming others and oneself.

Zuo Zhong glanced at the open door, ordered two police officers to stand guard in the corridor, and asked the remaining three police officers to enter the door to cooperate with the search, and asked the newcomer who spoke, "What's your name?"

"My name is."

"Okay, go back and bring your luggage and go home. Don't think that I am targeting you. I am saving your life and the lives of others. You will know in the future." Zuo Zhong waved his hands and walked into the room.

What he said was the truth, whoever was not raised by his parents, it is better to change jobs early than to stay reluctantly, it is worse than being killed by spies, the Secret Service only needs elite soldiers and strong generals, not trash.

Leaving the two pale-faced newcomers behind, Zuo Zhong stepped into the door, his eyes quickly scanned the interior layout and furnishings. This house is only more than ten square meters, and a family of three lives there.

According to the household registration, the male householder is 35 years old and earns a good income as a manager of the company. The female householder is 30 years old and is a full-time housewife. She has an 11-year-old daughter who studies in an elementary school not far away.

The reason for setting this house as the first target is that it is a bit strange why a decent middle-class family lives in such a narrow house, which requires in-depth investigation and verification.

At this time, the target family of three stood together, the male resident stood in front of his wife and daughter, looked panicked at the spies and policemen walking around, and mumbled twice but did not dare to speak.

"Hehe, don't be afraid."

Zuo Zhong winked at the little girl who was secretly looking at him, and explained with a smile: "We are here this time to track down a murderer, as long as it has nothing to do with the case, we will not harm you.

Excuse me for asking too much, sir, your salary should be quite a lot, why don't you change to a better house, it's really a bit crowded for three people to live here, is there any embarrassment? "

As he spoke, he put the handset of the phone in the room on the table, and silently gestured to the three policemen. The first thing to pay attention to when searching is to send people to guard and monitor the suspect's every word and deed.

Prevent the other party from destroying and discarding the evidence and criminal evidence on their body, or even attack the operatives, and through the suspect's expression, behavior, actions, words and deeds, it is also possible to discover his abnormal movements.

The male resident on the side saw that the communication between the house and the outside world was cut off, and saw the policemen standing by the door and the window. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak, so he coughed twice and said.

"Sir, my wife and I are both foreigners. Although my salary is not low, I am still far from buying a house, so I want to save some savings for a few years and buy my own house in Jinling."

Good reason, and reasonable.

The capital is big, and it's not easy to live in.

Zuo Zhong still remembered that when he first came to Jinling two years ago, after paying the rent of the house in Chaotian Palace and the monthly telephone fee, only 30 oceans were left of the 4 yuan monthly military salary.

This is true for a military officer with a high income, let alone a manager of a small company, not to mention that the female residents do not have jobs, so if you want to buy a house in Jinling, you really have to save money.

However, he didn't believe the other party's explanation, but went to the dining table and lifted the bamboo rice cover. When he found that there were only two simple meals inside, he nodded slightly. It seemed that there was no problem.

Other things can be faked. There is no way to fake the daily diet. The target family of three is really economical. No one can predict that the search will make such preparations. If that is the case, he will admit it.

"Thank you sir for your cooperation."

Zuo Zhong responded with a light smile, and glanced at the special agent of the Operations Division who kept stomping on the floor. The other party was checking whether there were holes or interlayers on the ground, which was a common method of search.

After asking the target why he lived here, he was not interested in saying anything more, and simply bent down to check whether there was any friction at the seams on the edge of the floor and whether there were any signs of movement of the furniture.

The results were very normal. The dust deposition between the boards, the floor rivets, and the old and new glues were consistent. There were no signs of prying or sliding, at least there were no hidden spaces on the ground.

Zuo Zhong straightened up and clapped his hands, folded his arms and looked around, then took out the pen on his chest and tapped a circle on the wall to make sure that the surface of the wall was smooth and smooth, and the joints between the bricks were perfectly tight.

In addition, papering and painting were done many years ago. After long-term use, it becomes the same color and looks gray. If there are places that are often opened, some traces will inevitably be left.

After checking that the ground and walls were fine, during this period, he paid attention to the expressions of the target family of three, especially the little girl. Apart from being a little curious, the expression on the other side was quite calm.

Usually large-scale searches can be withdrawn at this point. With so many rooms to inspect, it is impossible for search personnel to dig three feet to find problems as they do with specific targets.

But the special agent of the Operations Section who accompanied him was very careful. After checking everything, he squeezed the quilt carefully, and poked the soft furniture with the steel probe that he carried with him, and that was the end.

Zuo Zhong admired his cautiousness. After writing down the name of the other party, he politely said goodbye to the male head of the household, and led the people to the next door. There were still dozens of households to check, so he had to hurry up.

　As mentioned earlier, there are many opinions on the origin of honeycomb coal on the Internet. Some say it was invented in Wangyueshan, Dezhou, Shandong Province in the 1920s, and some say it was invented by Guo Wende, a retired employee of DZ City Fuel Company, in the 50s.

　　However, according to the book "Fuel" (published by the Commercial Press in 1940) co-authored by Japanese scholars Oshima Yoshiki and Kasaka Yosaburo, the Japanese use of "holed briquettes" is mentioned.

　　In addition, the second edition of "Central Daily" published on January 1932, 1 had an advertisement for cultural fuel. Judging from the pictures of fuel and stoves printed on it, this product called cultural fuel was honeycomb coal.In the advertisement, there are the words "Chinese people invent cultural fuel".

　　To sum up, I think this thing was invented very early and has been improved by many people.
