With the departure of Deputy Director Fu Yuan, Lin Jia could obviously feel that the pressure on his shoulders had decreased a lot. In particular, Fu Yuan has been working in the serious crime team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau before, and after coming to the National Security Bureau, he was in charge of the action team, so he can get started directly without adapting. This gave Lin Jia more time to sit down and carefully sort out the facts of this intricate case around Lu Xidong.

First of all, through the investigation of Zhang Chunhe and Cui Luyi, combined with the confessions of Shi Xiaoyu and junior high school, it can be determined that the fourth person who appeared at the scene of Zhou Wei's car accident was Lu Xidong, who is now Niu Tao, a security guard at the Siwei Research Institute. Moreover, all kinds of indications show that, especially from Shi Xiaoyu's relevant confession about the person who commanded Zhou Wei on the phone at the scene of the car accident, Lu Xidong is very likely to be the suspect who single-handedly designed and created the murder of Zhou Wei's car accident.

But there are two things that need to be explained around this. The first is what Lu Xidong's motive was for murdering Zhou Wei.

If, as has been analyzed before, it was because Zhou Wei accidentally discovered Lu Xidong's ulterior spy identity that he was killed, then it is still necessary to explain what the relationship between Lu Xidong and Zhou Wei is, and how Zhou Wei discovered Lu Xidong's true identity.

If Zhou Wei's death has nothing to do with Lu Xidong's identity secret, then why did Lu Xidong murder Zhou Wei. Was it his own idea, or was it instigated?

The second is that in the village south of the scene of Zhou Wei's car accident, the fingerprints left on the gate of the farmer who stole the electric car and the fingerprints left by the person who sneaked into Du Xiaowei's dormitory in the spring to steal clothes were not Lu Xidong's.

If so, what was the purpose of Lu Xidong's theft of the electric car at that time?

Also, Lu Xidong, who stole Du Xiaowei's clothes, was not the person who put on makeup and entered the bank to deposit money in the safe rented in Zeng Cheng's name.

According to the previous confessions of Wang Jianxun and Zeng Cheng, especially Wang Jianxun once said that "she dresses like a woman, but she feels like a man". And Lu Xidong's body shape is indeed on the thin side, and his height also conforms to the description of Wang Jianxun and Zeng Cheng in their confessions. This can't help but make Lin Jia suspect the possibility that Lu Xidong is the person who pretended to enter the bank to deposit money.

If the fingerprints on the comparison were not Lu Xidong's, then why did the suspect who had sneaked into Du Xiaowei's dormitory in the spring to steal clothes sneak into the village south of the crime scene on the night before Zhou Wei's car accident and steal an electric car? If it is purely coincidental and has nothing to do with the car accident that Lu Xidong designed to murder Zhou Wei, it is difficult to be convincing in any case.

What also made Lin Jia unbelievable was that there was a fifth person at the scene of Zhou Wei's car accident?

Of course, this question will soon be answered. Because the work of finding a way to obtain Niu Tao, the security guard of the Four-Dimensional Research Institute, that is, Lu Xidong, and returning to compare them has been arranged.

Secondly, Lu Xidong's behavior of impersonating the demobilized soldier Niu Tao to infiltrate the Four-Dimensional Research Institute is enough to show that he has an ulterior spy identity. The purpose, of course, is to target the country's advanced technology in stealth materials.

In view of this, the top priority in front of the National Security Bureau and Lin Jia is to find the whereabouts of Niu Tao, a demobilized soldier who was impersonated by Lu Xidong, as soon as possible. Although Lin Jia was reluctant to think about the worst, the professional intuition she had cultivated over the years told her that the situation of the real Niu Tao was definitely not good.

In addition, another urgent task is to determine whether Lu Xidong is the person behind Nguyen Phuc Chun and Mu Qixiong, the so-called "TPG" organization. In other words, the ownership and nature of the overseas organization to which Lu Xidong belongs should be determined as soon as possible.

Lin Jia, who was confused by the so-called "TPG" organization that Ruan Phuc Chun suddenly confessed, was of course very anxious to find out what kind of "TPG" organization it was. Whether it is an organization of a certain country, an independent international organization, or even a "second master" fabricated at will.

Since he didn't find out what Lu Xidong did after he infiltrated the Four-Dimensional Research Institute, the most important thing was to find out whether Lu Xidong had rebelled against other staff members for the time being, so Lin Jia had to focus on Ruan Fuchun again. So, he brought Song Jin and immediately interrogated Ruan Fuchun.

"When did you meet Zhou Wei?"

"Not long, not long after his antique shop opened. ”

"Who introduced you to each other?"

"Mu Qixiong. ”

"What do you know about Zhou Wei's car accident?"

"I only knew that someone was deliberately trying to kill him, and I didn't know anything else. ”

"Who is it, or how do you know that someone is going to kill Zhou Wei?"

"I guessed it afterwards. Ruan Phuc Chun said: "Just a few days after receiving the order of the 'second master' and preparing 230,000 US dollars, I heard the news of Zhou Wei's death, and I can't help but suspect that the 'second master' hired the murderer killed Zhou Wei." ”

"Who prepared that $230,000?"

"I don't know. Nguyen further explained: "The 'second master' just told me to prepare 230,000 US dollars, which will be put in my room at the Little Swan Hotel after lunch before I go to the jewelry store, and I will not take care of the rest." By the time I returned to the hotel from the jewelry store at around 5 p.m., the $230,000 box was gone. ”

"On what basis do you believe that Zhou Wei's death is related to the $230,000?"

"Because once when I went to Zhou Wei's antique shop, I found that he had a very bad, even fatal habit. ”

"What habits?"

He secretly kept a detailed record of all the transactions in the store, including the origin, whereabouts, transaction prices of each antique, and especially the identity information of the person who sold and bought it. ”

"Do you suspect that Zhou Wei lost his life because of this?"

"You know, a lot of antiques don't come from the right place. Although everyone says that it is an ancestral thing, there are several real ancestral things, and people with a little common sense know this very well. Therefore, establishing an antique archive is equivalent to keeping secrets that some people don't want outsiders to know, isn't that tantamount to creating a time bomb for yourself?"

"In other words, you suspect that Zhou Wei's death is related to the antique archives he established?"

"Nine times out of ten. It should be that he recorded the identities of people who should not be recorded. ”

"Since it was the 'second master' who ordered you to prepare funds, does that mean that it has something to do with the so-called 'TPG'?"

"It is also possible that it is related to the 'Lafayette'. ”

Ruan Phuc Chun's speculation is not unreasonable, perhaps Zhou Wei met the key person in the "Laverette Society", and it is possible that the identity of the other party was also recorded in the antique file without knowing it. Reasoning along this line of thought, that is to say, the heavyweight of the "Lafayette" that the serious crime team is looking for is still in the list of more than 400 people in the antique archives. Taking a step back, even if you are not on that list, you must have a very close connection to someone on the list. Moreover, Zhou Wei once met them at the same time.

After ending the interrogation of Ruan Phuc Chun, Lin Jia knew that there was one more thing that had to be done immediately. That is to bring the security guard of the Four-Dimensional Research Institute, Niu Tao, that is, the photo of Lu Xidong, to Wang Jiangong for identification. In order to verify Song Jin's speculation about whether Lu Xidong appeared when Wang Jiangong and Zhou Wei traded copper incense burners, the so-called "knowledgeable" person.

If it is really as Song Jin speculated, that person is Lu Xidong, the truth of Zhou Wei's death may be solved. At the same time, Lu Xidong's identity has another layer - he is also a member of the "Old Buddha Association", and he should be relatively advanced, even more than the existence of the "Dharma Protector Bodhisattva".

The two soon came to the unit where Wang Jiangong worked, and after finding him, as soon as they handed over Lu Xidong's photo, Wang Jiangong said: "Hey, I seem to have seen this person somewhere." Why does it look so familiar?"

"Think about it. Seeing that Wang Jiangong couldn't think of it for a while, Song Jin prompted a little: "Zhou Wei's antique shop." ”

"Oh, yes, it's him. Originally, before I sent the copper incense burner to Zhou Wei's antique shop, Zhou Wei had already come up and negotiated with me that the price was 50,000 yuan. However, that day, in the antique store, I suddenly met a knowledgeable person, that is, this person, who was about to buy it for 70,000 yuan. In the end, Zhou Wei had to accept the copper incense burner at a price of 80,000 yuan. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. This man has made me a lot of money, so I've always been grateful to him. ”

"Do you know what his last name is?"

"I don't know. ”

"According to what you felt at the time, what kind of relationship should there be between this person and Zhou Wei?"

"It should be more familiar, the two of us were sitting in the shop drinking tea when I went. ”

"You didn't hear Zhou Wei call each other by name from beginning to end?"

"Nope. That's why I said that the two should be more familiar. ”
