Chapter 2323 Go to Wuzhou ([-])
"Too thoughtful," Ji Xin looked at the room and praised, "Old Jie, you really have a taste for life."

This was originally a casual compliment, but Xie Erren, who had a dark heart in his heart, heard something wrong.He laughed a few times and said, "This courtyard was originally a place where I stayed and relaxed when I came here. I also receive veterans and comrades. Of course, it needs to be more comfortable. There are servants here—all transferred from the army. People are very reliable. Ask them to do whatever you need.”

He said hello, and four strong young men came, all wearing national army uniforms and equipped with pistols.

"This is the chief from the central government. From now on, you will listen to the command of the two chiefs. You must take care of your daily life. When you go out, you will be responsible for the security. Do you understand?"

The four stood at attention together, and a resounding "yes" came.

"You guys rest first, and I won't bother you any more. Let me know when the investigation will start, and I will fully cooperate."

Chen Baibin felt that Xie Erren spoke calmly and entertained thoughtfully.There is no sense of worry and haste in Zhao Yingong's response when the Hangzhou station was investigated at all.I don't feel like I have a little affection for him.

Ji Xin nodded and said, "Don't worry, let's officially start working tomorrow."

The words "don't worry" made Xie Erren's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help wondering what the word meant.He echoed perfunctorily, "Okay, then I'll go to work first."

Watching Xie Erren leave in a hurry, Chen Baibin whispered: "This elder Xie seems quite capable."

"To be the chief official of the Wuzhou area, one must have some skills." Ji Xin said.

The servant came in and brought in the luggage of the two of them. According to the rules, only his maid could open the life luggage of the Senate. The servant only sent the box in and then went out.The two packed their luggage by themselves.There are three main rooms, the middle one is the office, and the east and west two are their bedrooms.

The waiter brought tea in: "Report! The water in the bathroom is ready."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Ji Xin stopped him and took out a blank piece of paper.

"You write down the names and brief resumes of the personnel in your entire service team."

"Yes, chief!" The servant was a little puzzled, but the chief's order was too big, he immediately took the pen and began to write crookedly on the white paper.

Ji Xin took the paper and looked it over, put it in the briefcase, and asked, "Are you the squad leader Zhou Chuyi?"

"Report to the chief! Yes."

"When did you arrive in Wuzhou?"

"A week ago, Chief!"

"Why are you sent here?"

"The superior said that Wuzhou applied to transfer us to serve the chief."

"What was the specific situation in the yard when you came here? I mean, the furnishings and layout of the house."

"It's the same as today!" Zhou Chuyi replied crisply, "After we come, we will clean up every day and wait for the chief to arrive."

"Okay, you can go."

The servant retreated, and Ji Xin stood up and said, "I'll go wash it first."

"Okay, I just have to pack my luggage."

Chen Baibin lives in the east room, and it can be seen that the furniture in the room has been refurbished, because there are still marks on the walls left by the furniture in the past.Judging from the traces, it was not the simple single bed that was placed here in the past, but a medium-sized babu bed.

He opened the suitcase next to the bed, and a faint fragrance immediately emanated from it.Chen Baibin had received relevant training in Lingao, and he immediately recognized the scent of spices used by women to perfume their clothes.

Have women lived here?He was a little puzzled.

After finishing packing and returning to the central hall, Ji Xin had already changed into pajamas and slippers and came back, wiping his hair with a towel.

"Go quickly, the bathroom here is really nice." Ji Xin said, "Not only does it have a bathtub, but it also has a small Japanese-style courtyard! This old solution really enjoys life."

When Chen Baibin came back from the shower, he saw that Ji Xin had already started to look through a bunch of documents.

"what is this?"

"It's the documents related to the Wuzhou incident that Xie Youren sent over just now. There are also materials about several cases they are currently investigating."

"There are really a lot of documents." Chen Baibin flipped through a few copies, "But these documents are well done and detailed. I just don't know how reliable they are..." He lowered his voice.

"It's up to us to find out." Ji Xin said, "Before we find out the problem, let's think it's reliable."

"Where to start?"

"The first thing is to sort out the incident. How did the enemy come in, how did he rush into the office of Elder Xie, how did he kidnap him, and then he was rescued on the city wall? This process must be investigated and understood, and every detail must be reported. If we can match the number, we will make a record if we don’t. Let’s start with written materials first, so that when we talk to relevant personnel in the next step, we can be targeted and know whether they are lying or not.”

"clear."

"The Wuzhou incident also involved a riot in the Sanhezui labor camp. This matter is still being investigated by Wuzhou itself. We will not intervene in the specific investigation work for the time being. We will review what conclusions they come up with. .”

"Judging from the secret report, the matter at Sanhezui is not simple."

"There are many things involved in the Sanhezui case, but I personally don't think Xie Erren will be involved. The focus of the investigation is still in the city." Ji Xin looked around and asked, "What do you think of this yard?" Sample?"

“The layout is very comfortable.”

"anything else?"

"It's more refined."

"Don't you think there is a powdery smell here?"

Chen Baibin's eyes widened: "You also feel the same way?" He immediately talked about the smell of incense when he put the clothes away just now.

"If I'm not mistaken, a woman lived here, and this woman's status is not low." Ji Xin said, "Besides the exquisite furnishings, what do you think is this 'conference table' in front of us?"

Chen Baibin looked at the table, and he could see that it was high-end furniture made by this time and space, with simple decoration and large size.

"It's called a painting table. Most people don't have it at home. Only people with money and leisure will have it. It's used for writing calligraphy and painting."

Xie Erren doesn't know how to paint, so he specially prepared such a painting table, his status is self-evident.

There are no female elders in Wuzhou.Only Xie Erren's maidservant can live in such a vital place as the Sanzongfu, and her status is not low.

However, before Xie Erren left, it was said that he did not bring his maid to take up the post because Wuzhou was close to the front line.So who is this woman?
They all had the answer in their hearts, which was the "retained personnel" mentioned in Xie Erren's report, and Cai Lan, who was called the "mistress" in Luo Yangming's report.

"It should be that Cai Lan." Chen Baibin said in a low voice.

Ji Xin nodded: "However, this place is so big, it's impossible for her to live alone. Have you seen all the houses in this yard?"

"I haven't seen the east wing yet."

"I came out of the bathroom in the west wing just now and took a look. There are a few camp beds and simple furniture inside. It looks like the dormitory for our four servants. However, this room was obviously not originally used as a dormitory .Because there is soot accumulated from burning kerosene lamps on the ceiling for a long time."

Kerosene lamps were relatively rare under the rule of the Senate, and generally only the elders and senior naturalized cadres would use them.The four orderlies who arrived only a week ago had neither the qualifications nor the time to leave these marks on the ceiling.In this city of Wuzhou, the number of kerosene lamps can be counted on one hand, and there are at most three or four users.

"You mean that Xie Erren once worked in the East Wing."

"Yes. Such thick black soot traces cannot be naturalized civilian cadres. Only us veterans who like to work at night have this habit."

Chen Baibin understood what he meant, Xie Erren not only adopted "Cai Lan", but also lived with her here for a long time.

This point was not mentioned even in the top-secret report of the Political Security Bureau—naturally, it was impossible for Luo Yangming, who wrote the report, to know the details of the private lives of these veterans.

If this is the case, then Xie Erren's affairs will be serious.From the perspective of protecting the personal safety and confidentiality of the elders, cohabiting with an aborigine who has not been reviewed, has no rating, and is not even a naturalized citizen is a serious violation of discipline.Not to mention that such a person is within easy reach of the classified material of the Senate.

"It seems that Cai Lan, who was taken away in one stroke, is an important breakthrough." Chen Baibin said with some regret, "It's a pity that she committed suicide—what a coincidence!"

Ji Xin nodded and did not speak.He also did not believe that Cai Lan committed suicide.But right now the person is dead, so there is no need to dwell on it.He said: "How Cai Lan died is not important now. But this matter has pointed out the direction for us. We should investigate more from the naturalized people."

Naturalized people are just one aspect, he thought, such a large courtyard with such exquisite furnishings must require a lot of service personnel, most of these service personnel are not naturalized people, but aborigines.The testimonies of these people are actually more authentic.But where are they all?

He suddenly felt a chill in his back: These people may never be found again.

"Then let's talk to Luo Yangming first tomorrow. He is from the Political Security Bureau, and he wrote the report. It's easier to talk, and there won't be too much whitewashing." Chen Baibin suggested.

"Luo Yangming is Wang Zha now. It's too straightforward for us to talk to him immediately. It might cause an overreaction—not only bad for Luo Yangming, but also bad for himself." Ji Xin opened the notebook, "I see, let's start with The captured enemy prisoners began to talk. According to the report, there are two more important prisoners, one named Jiang Suo and the other named Yi Haoran. They are the enemy's commanders and organizers, and they have followed the rules."
