Volume 2 Chapter 44 Ponder and see the clues through the clouds and fog of doubt
At this time, the man in black who slipped out of the church, he trotted against the wall all the way, and from time to time he stopped to look back vigilantly, and he turned around in the alley to the door of a tailor's shop, and after confirming that there was no one around, the man in black gently and rhythmically knocked on the window of the tailor's shop. After a while, the tailor's shop opened a door, and the man in black slipped into it like a loach, and then the public security officers who followed behind also came to the tailor's shop, and they squatted under the window of the tailor's shop to eavesdrop on the movement in the house.
The man in black entered the house for less than two or three minutes, and only heard someone in the room "Ah! Then the door of the tailor's shop was opened, and the man in black ran out of it. The police officers who were lying in ambush outside rushed up and grabbed him, and then they rushed into the tailor's shop, where they smelled blood as soon as they entered the house. They turned on the electric light and saw a bald man in his forties lying in a pool of blood, with two bloody wounds on his chest and stomach, and a bloody knife thrown beside him.
Section Chief Yuan, who personally participated in this operation, saw that the man who fell to the ground still had a trace of breath, so he squatted down and shook his body vigorously and shouted repeatedly: "Old K of spades, wake up!" Wake up! β
When the bald man heard someone shouting at him, he reluctantly opened his eyes, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and then he shook his head at Section Chief Yuan and died. When Section Chief Yuan saw that the bald man was dead, he left a few people to guard the scene, and he took the other people back to the public security bureau to conduct a surprise interrogation of the man in black.
At dawn the next day, the public security officers who had been busy all night returned to the bureau, and their harvest was to crack the secret radio station of the enemy, capture Xu Liping's brother and the man in black, and at the same time, the ace spy Spade Lao K was killed by their own people. Although the female spy Xu Liping was not caught, the investigators knew that she had entered the Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church had been monitored, and they would enter the Catholic Church during the day to search for her. Xu Liping and the spies inside couldn't escape. The scouts were so pleased with their results that they shouted for a celebration party. At this time, Huang Boyang and Section Chief Yuan, who were full of exhaustion, walked out of the interrogation room, and when he saw the elated appearance of his subordinates, he poured cold water on them, "The old K of spades hasn't been caught yet, what are you happy about?" β
One of the scouts said, "Director Huang, we saw with our own eyes that the old K of spades was killed!" β
Another scout continued, "Yes! The old K of spades is the bald tailor who was killed by his own people! β
Huang Boyang pointed his finger at the two investigators and counted: "You are too naΓ―ve!" An illusion blindfolds you, and the Kuomintang spies are far more cunning than you think! β
Huang Boyang's words cooled down the warm atmosphere just now, "What's going on?" I don't understand! Someone muttered, and everyone stared at each other.
Huang Boyang said to everyone very seriously: "Now is the time to celebrate the victory. You all take a break, there's more important work for today! He walked briskly into his office. Huang Boyang's eyes were bloodshot, and his mind was full of unclear thoughts. He wanted to refresh himself, so he sat down at his desk and lit a cigarette and took a big sip, because of the exertion of several days, his throat was so dry and painful, he threw the cigarette in the ashtray when he was halfway through the cigarette, but he did not feel himself that he continued to smoke another cigarette. While smoking, he thought back to the scene when he interrogated the man in black just now, and he felt that although the man in black insisted that he had killed the old K of spades. and confessed that he was assigned by the old fox to carry out the assassination, but Huang Boyang thought that there were still many things worth scrutinizing about the assassination of the tailor by the man in black, and he put himself in an objective perspective and reasoned about this matter from several aspects.
The first possibility: the man in black killed the old king of spades. But why did the old fox ask him to kill the old king of spades? Huang Boyang did not find a reason. The old K of spades is a Wang Pai spy of Taiwan's secret service hidden in Beiping. Under the direct leadership of Mao Renfeng, the director of the secret bureau, it is unreasonable for an ace spy not to be easily killed by his own people.
The second possibility: The old fox is the upline of the old K of spades, and he is a higher-level spy, and he feels that the old K of spades has been exposed. was afraid that the old K of spades would confess after being caught, so he had no choice but to send the man in black to kill the old K of spades. But this judgment does not make logical sense. Because the old fox feels that the old K of spades has been exposed, and the old K of spades will confess his worries after being caught, which is just a judgment and not necessarily a fact. In the case of unclear facts, it is impossible for the old fox to exterminate the old king of spades.
The third possibility: The tailor killed by the man in black is not the old K of spades, and Huang Boyang thinks this is the most likely. The old fox sent someone to kill the tailor in order to create the illusion that the old K of spades was killed, so as to divert the investigator's direction to solve the case. But what is the identity of the tailor who was killed by the man in black?
Huang Boyang felt the need to exchange ideas with Section Chief Yuan, and he asked someone to find Section Chief Yuan. When Section Chief Yuan came in, Huang Boyang asked him to sit opposite him, and after handing Section Chief Yuan a cigarette, he asked, "Xiao Yuan, do you think the person who was interrogated just now told the truth?" β
Section Chief Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Director Huang, I think that person is telling the truth. He said that he was instructed by the old fox to kill the old king of spades. I think the old fox's approach is to kill people. β
Huang Boyang said: "You judged right, the man in black did tell the truth, but we can't believe his words!" β
"Because of what?"
Because he was also deceived by the old fox, he didn't know the old king of spades, and the old fox said that the tailor was the old king of spades, and he thought that he had killed the old king of spades. I don't think the tailor he killed was the Old K of Spades! β
Section Chief Yuan was very surprised after listening to Huang Boyang's words, "Director Huang, what you said is like a tongue twister, and you confuse me!" Excuse me, what evidence do you have that he didn't kill the old King of Spades? β
"And what proof do you have that he killed the old King of Spades?" Huang Boyang then asked rhetorically.
Section Chief Yuan was full of confidence in his judgment, and he patted his chest and said: "My reason is that the secret service is afraid that we will catch the old K of spades, and I am even more afraid that their Beiping spy network will be seriously damaged after the old K of spades is arrested, so they will kill him." β
"It's not as simple as you think, is it?" Huang Boyang smiled, and then he told Section Chief Yuan what he had just inferred, and Section Chief Yuan nodded while listening, this time he had no reason to refute. After Huang Boyang finished speaking, Section Chief Yuan changed his opinion. He said: "Director Huang, according to your analysis, it is really possible that the man in black killed the old K of spades. β
Huang Boyang said again: "Do you still remember the scene when we tried Lao Pei? At that time, the old Pei kept saying that he didn't know the old K of spades, and then said that he was the old K of spades. He said that he was the old king of spades purely to confuse our thinking, and he said that he didn't know the old king of spades, but he was honest. Because he really hasn't met the King of Spades, there may be an intermediary between him and the King of Spades. β
Section Chief Yuan was interested in Huang Boyang's inference, "Oh, that makes sense, I still want to hear it." β
"Since the old K of spades is a spy of the king's faction, then he must be a scheming person. He won't just use an intermediary between him and Xu Liping to pass on information! If something goes wrong with one of these links, he will be directly exposed to our eyes. For an experienced Wang Pai agent, this is too pediatric! So I think there might be another intermediate contact between Big Lao Pei and Old K of Spades, and that person is the tailor who was killed. β
At this time, Section Chief Sun suddenly realized, and he slapped the table excitedly, "No wonder!" At the scene of the crime, I called the tailor the old K of spades, and the tailor shook his head at me and died, I didn't understand what he meant by shaking his head at me, but now I understand that he was telling me that he was not the old K of spades before he died! β
Section Chief Yuan continued: "I think the old fox heard that the old man Pei was arrested by us. He was afraid that the old Pei would confess to the tailor, and the tailor would confess to him, so the old fox sent someone to kill the tailor, thinking that doing so would cut off the clues to our case. And let's get the illusion that the old king of spades is dead, and the reason why the old fox does this is to protect the old king of spades! β
Huang Boyang smiled and said, "Xiao Yuan, your analysis is very reasonable, and you are close to the truth of the matter." But there are still mistakes in the analysis. β
Section Chief Yuan asked a little unconvinced: "Director Huang, what do you say I did wrong?" β
"Well, you can analyze for me what is the relationship between the old K of spades and the old fox."
"Director Huang. You ask me what is the relationship between the old fox and the old king of spades? I think the old fox is the contact between the old king of spades and the tailor? However, the old fox is much higher in rank than the tailor, and the old king of spades is the direct leader of the old fox. β
Huang Boyang pointed at Section Chief Yuan and smiled, "The Kuomintang spies also talk about work efficiency, you have placed three intermediaries between the Taiwan Secret Bureau and the old K of spades, Xu Liping, Da Lao Pei and Lao Fox, you are not tired, they are still tired!" β
"And what is the relationship between the old king of spades and the old fox?" Section Chief Yuan held his chin and thought.
"Xiao Yuan, do you have two names?"
"I have two names, before I participated in the revolution, my name was Yuan Erbao, and after I participated in the revolution, I took another name called Yuan Weimin."
"Those who are familiar with you know that these two names are you, and those who are not familiar with you think that these two names are two different people, right?"
Section Chief Yuan got through at one point, he patted his head and said, "I completely understand this time!" You mean that the old king of spades is the old fox, and the old fox is the old king of spades, and they are the same person! "Since this Section Chief Yuan became the head of the reconnaissance section at a young age, it shows that he is not eating for nothing. Section Chief Yuan then analyzed: "Taiwan's secret service gave Xu Liping a secret message to Huang Liping, Xu Liping didn't know that the old fox was the old K of spades, and the old K of spades received the secret telegram from Taiwan sent by Xu Liping, and his identity of the old K of spades was not exposed. These agents are so cunning! β
"This is just my logical reasoning, and whether it is right or not has yet to be verified in practice. Even if the old fox is really not the old K of spades, we can also find the clues of the old K of spades through him after we catch the old fox! Huang Boyang was modest on his lips, but he was very proud in his heart.
Section Chief Yuan said seriously: "Director Huang, I'm not complimenting you, I think you have enlightened me!" β
Huang Boyang likes young people like Section Chief Yuan very much, and he earnestly taught: "Xiao Yuan, we must ask a few more whys when we encounter problems in this work, learn to see the essence through appearances, and carefully consider things that are not accurate. As the saying goes, 'details determine success or failure,' and there is no reason to ignore any small doubt in our work! Young man, you are young, brave, and energetic, and you are a good material for being a scout, but you still lack rationality and business knowledge, and you will need to strengthen your study in the future! β
"Yes! When I become a great detective, I will take over your class! β
"I'm not old yet, you want to occupy my position, it's really a wolf's ambition!"
Because of the thorough analysis of the case, the two people were in a good mood and joked with each other. At this time, Huang Boyang swept away his exhaustion, and he patted Section Chief Yuan on the shoulder and ordered: "Without further ado, it's time to close the net!" Gather your people together now, and let's go to church! (To be continued......)
