Chapter 19 Analysis of the Case
A car is parked on the side of the street.

Wang Liansheng got out of the car and was talking to the driver.

"An acquaintance came."

Qi Yue said.

Qiu Weihan asked, "Who is he?"

Qi Yue said: "Wang Liansheng, the leader of the Second Team of the Investigation Unit of the Criminal Division, is my immediate boss."

Qiu Weihan said: "You go first, go through the back door!"

If the person who came was an ordinary person, it would be fine to meet him, but the person who came was a policeman, and he was also Qi Yue's boss.

In this case, try to avoid face to face.

There is a small road behind the teahouse, and customers often take a shortcut to go home, and the kitchen workers are not surprised.

Qi Yue walked quickly along the bluestone road.

Ten minutes later, they stopped in front of a door.

There is a wooden sign hanging on the door, with two words written on the sign: Chunmei.

This sign is not hung casually, it is turned to the front when there are guests, and the reverse when there are no guests. According to local customs, this signifies an open secret - prostitution.

"Chunmei" is the pet name of this prostitute.

Not all prostitutes use fake names, and those who are sincere will even use their real names.

Qi Yue reached out and pushed, and the door creaked open.

Chunmei was 25 and six years old, and her appearance was reasonable. She was wearing a blue floral short jacket, with a blanket on her legs, and she was half lying on the pillow.

Seeing a guest coming to the door, she sat up straight and greeted warmly: "My brother is here, don't stand still, the kang is warm, get on the kang quickly."

Qi Yue asked: "Are you Chunmei?"

Chunmei smiled charmingly: "Why are you asking, isn't it written on the door?"

Qi Yue took out his ID and shook it: "Police."

Chunmei hurriedly got down from the kang, begging, "The business is not good recently, there are no customers, can the security fee be collected a few days later?"

The police mostly turned a blind eye to these unlicensed prostitutes. The so-called security fees are actually protection fees in disguise.

Qi Yue said, "Do you know Er Donkey?"

Chunmei was taken aback: "You, aren't you here to collect security fees?"

"Do you know the second donkey?"

Qi Yue repeated it again.

Chunmei nodded hastily: "I know him. He is a regular customer and used to come to my place often."

Qi Yue asked, "Have you been here recently?"

Chunmei shook her head: "No. I haven't been here since the new year."

Qi Yue left his phone number: "The second donkey is coming again, you must call me immediately, my surname is Qi. Remember, don't disturb him, understand?"

Chunmei asked cautiously, "Officer Qi, what happened to the second donkey?"

"It has nothing to do with you, don't inquire about it. Oh, and, if you dare to cover up the second donkey without reporting what you know, I will find out, and you will have no good fruit to eat!"

After saying this, Qi Yue walked out.

The second donkey's surname is Zhang Mingwei, and he works as a second son in his family. He got such an nickname because of his violent personality.

A few days ago, the Japanese Gendarmerie seized a major case of tobacco trafficking, and the second donkey was also confessed. He acted as an intermediary in this case.

In Manchukuo, selling tobacco is a felony.

Therefore, people in the criminal department are looking for the second donkey.

With the excuse of investigating the case, it would be more reasonable for Qi Yue to appear in Huifang.

……

A week later.

Secret Service Section Chief's Office.

"A total of 7 people from various departments of the Police Department live in Xinmin Street, 1 from the Public Security Division, 1 from the Correctional Division, 1 from the Criminal Division, 1 from the Communication Division, and the police brigade has the most, 3 people. There are two most suspected, one It's Wang Liansheng from the criminal department, and the other is Liu Dacheng from the police brigade."

Liu Wenlong is reporting the results of the investigation.

Gao Kejian asked, "What is the basis?"

Liu Wenlong said: "Everyone else has an alibi, but Wang Liansheng and Liu Dacheng didn't."

Gao Kejian said, "Which of these two people is more suspicious?"

Liu Wenlong thought for a while: "I think it's Liu Dacheng."

"why?"

"Liu Dacheng speaks little, and the city is very deep."

"Where's Wang Liansheng?"

"That guy is flashy, he does things upside down, if you say he is a traitor..."

Liu Wenlong shook his head lightly.

Gao Kejian said, "What if he is pretending?"

"You think it's Wang Liansheng?"

"Before the evidence is found, everything is a hypothesis. I said he was pretending, which is also a hypothesis."

"Then, what should we do next?"

"Surveillance. Not just the two of them, but the other five."

Liu Wenlong hesitated: "But, the other five all have alibis..."

Gao Kejian interrupted him: "Proofs can be forged. For example, you are the traitor. As an accomplice, I can prove that you and I drank tea and chatted together that day. These things can only be used as references. See, it’s true to hear it with your own ears!”

Liu Wenlong stood up: "Thank you section chief for your enlightenment!"

Gao Kejian motioned for him to sit down.

Liu Wenlong said: "The case of Apartment No. 7 is now in the making."

"Tell me."

Gao Kejian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Liu Wenlong said: "According to the forensic doctor, the rebel who was killed had multiple frostbites on his body, which should have been caused by long-term exposure in the field, and he used a shell gun, which is bulky and inconvenient to carry around. Use it less, so I think he is more like a member of the Anti-League..."

Gao Kejian asked, "Does he have a lot of frostbite?"

Liu Wenlong said: "There are a lot of them, including ears, faces, hands and feet, and even legs."

Gao Kejian pondered for a while, then shook his head lightly: "Don't forget, those bandits who hid in other places also stayed in the wild for a long time, and they must have frostbite on their bodies."

Liu Wenlong said: "They are definitely not bandits!"

Gao Kejian's eyes flashed: "So, do you have other evidence?"

Liu Wenlong said: "In order to find out his identity, I asked the forensic doctor to dissect the corpse. You must not have imagined what I saw in the stomach of the corpse."

Gao Kejian also became interested: "What did you see?"

Liu Wenlong said: "Undigested bark and even a small amount of leather residue. The bandits will not eat this, only the people of the Anti-League will be hungry enough to eat whatever they see!"

Gao Kejian nodded: "Your analysis is quite right. They must be members of the Anti-Union! According to the information from the Kwantung Army, a rice cooker was found in the Anti-Union camp that was too late to take away. Inhaling the heat, I lifted the lid of the pot and saw that there were a few worn-out Soviet leather boots."

Liu Wenlong said: "Section Chief, if people from the Anti-Japanese Federation appear in Binjiang, there must be a major conspiracy!"

Gao Kejian stepped to the window, looked at the white snow in the distance, pondered for a while, and then said: "An army that eats shoes will not have any conspiracy. Their purpose is to survive! Inform the security guards Regiment, we must pay close attention to the situation of supplies going out of the city recently, if you find anything suspicious, report it to the Secret Service Section immediately!"
