Chapter 666 The biggest shame since the Secret Service was established
six hours later.

The Secret Service was brightly lit.

Zuo Zhong walked out of the interrogation room with a solemn expression, and pulled down his blood-stained cuffs. After interrogating for so long, Ren Guanglin kept biting his teeth and refused to admit the accusation of spying.

I don't know anything about my relationship with Pang Chong, the boss called the boss, and the truth about the deaths of Su Zifu and those 15 officials.

Gu Qi, who came out with him, held the statement and said in amazement: "Deputy Director, we have come into contact with many spies, but this is the first time we have seen a guy with such a tough attitude."

"The Japanese are not vegetarians. We have warriors who are not afraid of life and death. There must be no shortage of them. That's enough. Let's stop talking nonsense. I'll go back to Ren Guanglin's house to have a look." Zuo Chong stretched his waist.

"Deputy Director, do you want an interrogation here?"

"Go on, don't give the other party a chance to rest."

"Yes, I understand."

After the two discussed it properly, Gu Qi ordered a team of guards to go back to start work, while Zuo Zhong and Jian Cong went to the vicinity of Baixia Road, hoping to find clues related to the case from the target's residence.

When he arrived at the destination, he asked the driver to wait in the car. He walked to the second floor and greeted the police guarding the scene. He put on shoe covers and gloves, pushed the door on his toes and walked in.

The place remained as it was when they left. The police never dared to enter the scene of the espionage case without an order from the Secret Service. These old fritters knew the seriousness of this matter better than anyone else.

"Deng deng deng"

Zuo Zhong casually turned on the light, took out a pen from his pocket, and knocked on all the walls carefully. The inspection time by the special agents of the Operation Section was relatively short before, and there might be omissions.

He re-examined every corner of the wall, behind every piece of furniture, and all corners that were difficult to touch under normal circumstances, but the result was the same, and he still didn't find any hidden spaces.

This is a bit strange. Japanese spies are different from intelligence personnel in European and American countries. Most of them serve military purposes, and they basically carry guns to kill or commit suicide.

Then where are Ren Guanglin's weapons, including the fake documents and camouflage items used in operations and retreats? It seems that he is either an exception, or he has another safe house.

Some guesses flashed through Zuo Zhong's mind, he stepped on the floor according to the search procedure, but found nothing in the end, he stood in the middle of the living room and frowned, and after a long time, he turned his eyes to the shoe cabinet.

He walked over slowly, squatted down and opened the cabinet door, and eight or nine pairs of shoes of various kinds appeared in front of him, which is a bit too much for a man, especially in this era.

It is different from the fashion attribute of shoes in the later generations. At this time, the function of shoes is a tool. An ordinary man has four or five pairs, which is considered as many. What is Ren Guanglin doing with so many shoes at home?

Do you appreciate it?
Or a hobby?

Considering that Ren Guanglin is a Japanese spy, a more reasonable explanation is that the other party's disguise needs to be dressed to represent different identities, and these shoes are part of the disguise tools.

Zuo Zhong picked up a pair of thousand-ply sole cloth shoes and weighed them. These shoes are very comfortable, light and non-slip, keep warm in winter and absorb sweat in summer. They are common shoes for many people in Jinling. He also has two pairs.

And because of its low walking sound and no sole pattern, it is very popular with grassroots intelligence personnel. Of course, it may also be because the price of cloth shoes is cheap, and small spies have no money to buy leather shoes.

He turned the cloth shoes over in his hands, and focused on observing the soles. Sometimes the soil or other residues carried by the soles could explain many things, but the soles of these shoes were very clean.

Also, the spy would not be so careless.

Zuo Zhong put the cloth shoes aside, and took out the rest of the shoes one by one for inspection. Also, nothing was found. The soles of the shoes had all been carefully cleaned. Ren Guanglin acted very cautiously.

He touched his chin, glanced at the direction of the door, got up and locked the door, took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to shine into the depths of the shoe cabinet, focusing on the dark places where the dirt was hidden.

The best flashlight brightness for this meeting is about 5 to 10 lumens, and the flashlight of the mobile phone has at least 30 lumens. The difference in lighting brightness will make it easier for him to spot the details that Ren Guanglin overlooked.

The light illuminated the shoe cabinet, the horizontal boards were spotless, obviously wiped, but Zuo Chong lay on the ground and saw a half-dead leaf stuck in the gap between the bottom horizontal board and the rear board.

This location is very hidden, and it is difficult to find unless one observes like him. Could this be an effective clue? He calmly pulled it out slowly so as not to destroy the evidence.

Holding the leaf in the palm of his hand, Zuo Zhong carefully looked at it for a while, and found that the leaf was broadly oval in shape, with sharp serrations on the edge, nearly hairless on both sides, and darker in color on the front, which seemed to be a rose leaf.

Chinese rose, this kind of plant is not only liked by the Chinese, but also by the Japanese. It was introduced to Japan during the Song Dynasty. The Japanese named it Gengshen rose, which means the rose that blooms every other month.

So has Ren Guanglin been to a place where rose flowers are planted recently? This clue is too broad and has no practical significance. There are not a thousand places with roses in Jinling City, but there are also eight hundred.

Such as Xuanwu Lake and Tangshan.

There are a large number of rose flowers in these two places, and many citizens go to enjoy the flowers every year. The Secret Service can't check all these places, and it will have to go back to the 38th year of the Republic of China.

The only value is judging from the freshness of the leaf. It is estimated that this leaf has only fallen for two to three days. If you can trace Ren Guanglin's recent whereabouts, you may gain something.

While thinking, Zuo Zhong put the leaves under the light and looked at them repeatedly. A few grains of black soil at the bottom of the leaves caught his attention. When did Jinling have soil of this color?

The Secret Service has collected a soil survey report of Jinling by Central University, which clearly states that most of Jinling is yellow-brown soil, and there is a small piece of red soil at the border with Hui Province in the south.

The reason goes back to millions of years ago, when Jinling was an ancient tropical area. After long-term rain washing, many compounds in the soil were washed away, but some were not easy to dissolve.

These insoluble compounds will naturally crystallize into granules one by one, which is the prototype of yellow brown soil and red soil. There has never been black soil in Jinling and its surrounding areas.

So, where did the black soil come from?

Where did Ren Guanglin get it?
Zuo Zhong took out the notebook, put the leaves and soil between them, and put it back in his pocket. Then he stood up and showed doubts. The black soil of the Republic of China was all in the Northeast, which is now occupied by the Japanese.

Could it be that Ren Guanglin met his accomplice from the Northeast in the past few days, and accidentally stepped on the black soil brought by this person's feet. He thought about it and quickly ruled out this possibility, which is unrealistic.

Not to mention how difficult it is for the soles of shoes to bring soil thousands of miles away to Jinling, just because of the close surveillance of the Northeast personnel by the Secret Service, it is impossible for the cautious Ren Guanglin to take the risk of going to the joint.

Impossible due to natural causes,
Could that be an unnatural factor?

Zuo Zhong thought of humus soil. This kind of artificial soil is not imported from Europe and America, but a derivative of ancient Chinese literati planting flowers and plants. It is now used in many places.

For example, flower beds for cultivating seedlings, gardens of wealthy people, flower beds in public places, and even small potted plants will be covered with a layer of nutrient-rich soil to allow plants to grow smoothly.

In this way, two standards can be summed up. One is that humus soil is used in a certain place, and the other is that roses are planted there. Although the scope is still a bit large, it is better than finding a needle in a haystack.

After recovering the scene, he turned off the lights and left Ren Guanglin's residence. He got in the car and returned to the Secret Service. After consideration, he decided to let Song Minghao and Wu Jingzhong, who were monitoring Yang Changqing, split up some people to search.

Compared with Wu Chunyang, who monitored many suspicious officials, their work intensity was a little lower. They didn't need to put all their hands together, and they could check the humus soil clues along the way.

But what he didn't expect was that shortly after the order was delivered, Song Minghao rushed back to Honggong Temple alone, and reported something with his head shrunk. After listening to it, Zuo Zhong flew into a rage.

"What, there is a flower garden outside the wall of Yang Changqing's house. There is a large area of ​​roses and humus in it. Song Minghao, Song Minghao, what are you doing for food? Can't you even look after one person?"

Based on the current situation, Ren Guanglin probably met Yang Changqing in the flower garden, and he was surrounded by the Secret Service. This is a shame. This is the biggest shame since the establishment of the Secret Service.

When did their Secret Service become the same as the Secret Service Headquarters, the enemy came and left whenever they wanted, if that bastard Xu Enzeng knew about it, I'm afraid even Da Ya would laugh it off.

Facing Zuo Zhong's thunderous fury, Song Minghao wept and explained: "Deputy Director, Lao Wu and I really didn't care about this time, and the neighbors around the target have done the most stringent background checks.

The garden is under the name of a native of Jinling, and the situation of himself and his family members is normal, and he has not lost contact with his relatives and friends like the Pang family you reported, so we don't care. "

He felt that he and Wu Jingzhong were really wronged for his mother to open the door for wronged - wronged went home, since they took over the spy case, they haven't been home for many days, and they are all focused on work.

Who would have thought that the target was so cunning, and unexpectedly set up a secret joint ground next door, which was completely inconsistent with the behavioral logic of intelligence work, and directly caught the two of them by surprise.

"Strictly ass!"

Hearing his words, Zuo Zhong couldn't get rid of his anger, and he slapped the desk hard: "Is it because Yang Changqing ran away that you would discover the problems inside, and hurry up and gather people to prepare for action.

Immediately arrest Yang Changqing's family. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If the other party knows that Ren Guanglin was arrested last night, they will probably evacuate. If they escape, Lao Song, you are in big trouble. "

"Yes, I'll go now."

Song Minghao ran out as soon as he got up, and was stopped when he reached the door. Zuo Zhong asked him to go to Renxin Hospital to see if Gui Youguang had recovered. He was really worried that there was no expert in action to take charge of the action.
