Half an hour later, Ning Zhiheng's car stopped next to a street, Yu Cheng quickly greeted him, took a few steps, opened the door, and Ning Zhiheng lifted his legs and got out of the car.

He looked at Yu Cheng and asked coldly as he walked, "Tell me about the matter in detail."

Yu Cheng's forehead kept oozing with cold sweat, and when he heard Ning Zhiheng's inquiry, he hurriedly followed behind and briefly introduced the situation.

It turned out that since Ning Zhiheng left Gu's house, at 6:30 in the evening, Gu Zhengqing also went out of the gate of Gu's house, he called a rickshaw all the way to the west, came to the Huaqing Hotel in Daping District, and directly entered the 202 room on the north side of the second floor, and then stayed in the house without moving, Yu Cheng immediately arranged a monitoring point under the 402 room, and he also rented room 208 diagonally opposite the 202 room, and monitored Cheng nearby.

But until it was late, no one was found to have contact with Gu Zhengqing, Yu Cheng found that something was wrong, so he hurriedly checked, only to find that Gu Zhengqing had been killed in the house, so Yu Cheng hurriedly called Huang Xianzheng's house and reported to Ning Zhiheng.

After the brief report, Ning Zhiheng's footsteps had already entered the lobby of the Huaqing Hotel, and all around him were members of the action team of the Military Control Bureau, and there were six men squatting in the middle of the lobby, all of them holding their heads in their hands and trembling with fright, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.

Ning Zhiheng asked, "Who are these people?" ”

"These are the managers and service staff of Huaqing Hotel, and after the incident, I controlled everyone in the hotel, and the other guests were locked in their rooms waiting for your questioning." Yu Cheng hurriedly replied.

"Where is the scene?"

"Second floor, I'll show you the way!"

Yu Cheng walked briskly in front, went up the stairs, came to the second floor, pointed to the door of a room on the westernmost side, and said, "This is it, room 202." ”

When the guards on the second floor saw Ning Zhiheng appear, their faces were also tense, and they stood up on the side of the corridor, not daring to make a sound.

Ning Zhiheng came to the door of room 202, the door of the room was wide open, looking in from the outside, this room is not small, it is very spacious, about thirty square meters, the furniture and beds in the room are complete, and the cleaning is also very clean, but on the ground near the bed, there is a man's corpse, which is Gu Zhengqing himself.

Ning Zhiheng didn't rush into the house, but asked Cheng, "Is the scene protected?" ”

Yu Cheng hurriedly nodded and said: "Protected, only me and one of my team members entered, checked Gu Zhengqing's strength, and found that he was dead, so he didn't touch anything else, so I quickly reported to you." ”

Ning Zhiheng nodded, he looked around at the door, carefully remembered all the arrangements and furnishings in the room, and then gently stepped into the room to carefully check Gu Zhengqing's situation.

Gu Zhengqing was facing the sky on his back, there was an obvious knife cut directly below the ribs on his chest, his clothes had been soaked with blood, and there was also a large area of blood on the ground.

Ning Zhiheng frowned, he was a great expert in fighting, and he made a good short blade, he couldn't be clearer about this kind of injury, just from the position of the knife edge and the large amount of blood on the ground, it could be judged that this was a short blade, pierced diagonally from the bottom of the ribs, just to avoid the protection of the ribs, accurately stabbed Gu Zhengqing's heart, and killed Gu Zhengqing in a very short time.

"This is a trained player!" Ning Zhiheng said in a deep voice, he stepped forward and tore apart Gu Zhengqing's chest clothes, and carefully examined the wound, "An extremely sharp dagger, the blade width is only three or four centimeters, the wound has traces of widening and dragging, the other party is experienced, after hitting Gu Zhengqing hard, he stirred the dagger, causing him to bleed profusely and die in a very short time." ”

Ning Zhiheng looked carefully at the bloodstains on the ground again, turned his head and asked, "Have you moved the corpse?" What does the corpse look like when it comes in? ”

When Yu Cheng heard this, he quickly replied: "I just turned over." ”

With that, he crept into the room and turned the body over in the direction of the bed, leaving it lying face down on the ground.

"That's what it looked like when we came in, and then I turned Gu Zhengqing over when I was checking on his injuries."

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, Yu Cheng didn't dare to say more, and quickly retreated to the side.

Ning Zhiheng looked up and looked at all the arrangements in the room, and finally came to the window, the curtains were closed, he stretched out his hand to open the curtains left and right, and looked out.

At this time, it was pitch black outside, room 202 was a room facing the street, and when you looked out, you could see the street scenery clearly by the street lamp, and there was also a large area of housing across the street, and the lights were on inside the house, through which you could see the figures of the opposite household's houses shaking.

All the houses are of different heights and are staggered, and many of the dwellings are much taller than this one.

The geographical characteristics of Chongqing City are different from other cities, it is a typical mountain city, the city is built according to Zhongliang Mountain and Tongluo Mountain, the roads are uneven, and the buildings are scattered.

Ning Zhiheng couldn't help frowning when he looked at the large building opposite, the view here is too good, many people living opposite can see Ning Zhiheng's current location, if the other party's perspective is good, take a telescope, and you can see everything in this room.

He turned around and saw the table on the right hand side, the thermos and a set of teacups on the table, Ning Zhiheng came up and lifted the thermos bottle, it was very heavy, and after opening it, he found that the water inside was full, and the temperature was also very high, it should be new boiling water.

Only then did he ask Yu Cheng, who was guarding the side, "Let's talk about it, why did you decide to come and check on Gu Zhengqing because you judged that something was wrong?" ”

Yu Cheng is also a veteran of intelligence, and he strictly ordered him not to act rashly, so he didn't find a problem, he wouldn't break into the room directly to check on Gu Zhengqing's situation, because this would be tantamount to exposing his identity, and directly confronting Gu Zhengqing, there would be no room for investigation in the future, and he could only use torture, which was the last step of last resort.

Yu Cheng nodded and said: "After Gu Zhengqing entered the hotel, we set up surveillance in all directions, and I took people to guard in room 208 and monitor Gu Zhengqing nearby.

After the waiter knocked on the door and entered room 202, he left after a while, and then I calculated, I found that the waiter stayed in room 202 for as long as three minutes, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I ordered my subordinates to arrest the waiter, I wanted to confirm, but my subordinates checked all the waiters, and did not find the waiter, I knew that it was not good, so I simply decided to go to room 202 to check first, and it turned out that Gu Zhengqing had died. ”

"How long was it between the time the waiter left room 202 and the time you sent someone to find him?"

"For about five to six minutes, I was only a little suspicious at the time, for fear that the movement would be too big and alarm Gu Zhengqing and his upline, so I was a little hesitant."

"Stupid, how do you know that the other party must be a waiter?"

Yu Cheng smiled bitterly: "He was wearing waiter clothes and holding two hot water bottles, besides, I really didn't expect that the other party was not a joint at all, but directly killed Gu Zhengqing, which was completely unexpected by me." ”

"So this waiter easily killed Gu Zhengqing from under your nose, and then left calmly." Ning Zhiheng's face was gloomy, and his tone was cold, "Didn't you set up a monitoring point outside?" What did they find? ”

Yu Cheng hurriedly explained: "Set up two monitoring points, but they didn't find that there was a person in waiter clothes leaving, during that time, only saw a middle-aged man in a long shirt and a young man in student clothes left, we investigated, the middle-aged man is a resident here, I have sent someone to arrest it, but that young student, there is no such person in the guest, and now there is no trace of him, it should be the murderer of Yu Cheng." ”

Yu Cheng's adaptability is still very strong, after discovering that Gu Zhengqing was killed, he protected the scene, reported the case to Ning Zhiheng, and controlled everyone in the hotel to conduct a preliminary investigation, but unfortunately the real murderer was still missed.

Yu Cheng's eyes were anxious, his face was bitter, and he said in a low voice: "Everywhere, they are all humble and incompetent, I have nothing to say, everything is up to you." ”

Originally, the investigation work went very smoothly, and Ning Zhiheng had already determined the real goal, and then it was time to follow the vine and get the fruits of victory, but in the end, it was this result, and of course Ning Zhiheng was not happy.

He looked at Yu Cheng coldly, and was naturally annoyed in his heart, but Yu Cheng was not his subordinate after all, and if he really wanted to punish him, it was really difficult for him to start.

It's not that Ning Zhiheng's authority is not enough, now with Ning Zhiheng's status, even if Yu Cheng is Gu Zhengqi's cronies, Ning Zhiheng can still dispose of him for dereliction of duty, and he will not be wronged at all.

Such an important target has risen to heaven in his hands, and there is such a big mistake, if Ning Zhiheng really tears his face and is heavy on Cheng, no one dares to say a word from top to bottom.

But Ning Zhiheng finally endured himself, and said indifferently to Cheng: "You don't need to ask for punishment first, the matter has not yet reached that point, when the case is over, I will depend on the situation, if the consequences are serious, you can't run away even if you want to." ”

"Yes!"

"You go and call all the people at the surveillance point first, and I'll ask you about the details one by one."

"Yes!" Yu Cheng hurriedly turned around and left.

Ning Zhiheng waved his hand, Zhao Jiang stepped forward in a few steps, and ordered: "Go and prepare white paper and pen, I will use them in a while." ”

Zhao Jiang knew that Ning Zhiheng was going to depict the portrait of others, and he had also seen this stunt of the director, which could be described as his best weapon, which was quite effective in tracking down Japanese spies, so he quickly nodded and went to prepare.

After a short time, Yu Cheng led four intelligence officers back and stayed quietly aside, waiting for Ning Zhiheng's questioning.
