Ning Zhiheng looked at the four team members and asked, "Where are the locations of your monitoring points?" ”

The team members replied one after another, it turned out that the four team members were divided into two groups, two people, respectively in a gazebo in the residential area across the street, and a corner on the side of the street, both of which were relatively hidden monitoring points.

Ning Zhiheng pointed to the window, and then asked, "Can you see this window from your monitoring point?" ”

A member of the team replied: "The gazebo we chose is higher than this room, and the distance is not too far, I can see this window very clearly with a telescope, and I can even see some of the situation in the house, but Gu Zhengqing has always closed the curtains, and we can't observe the movement inside." ”

Another team member reported: "Our surveillance point is at the corner of the street, mainly to monitor the gate of the hotel, as well as the people entering and exiting, and the observation of this window is not clear, and the angle is not good enough." ”

Ning Zhiheng pointed to the first group of team members and asked, "Tell me, the specific situation of your surveillance?" ”

The team member thought about it for a while, shook his head and said: "As soon as Gu Zhengqing entered the room, we confirmed the location of the window in the room, and then the section chief arranged for us to set up a monitoring point across the street, we just found that Gu Zhengqing first turned on the lights in the house, and then opened the windows, but the curtains were not opened, and then until the crime, we did not see anything abnormal." ”

Ning Zhiheng thought for a while, turned around and asked Yu Cheng and asked, "Do you remember when Gu Zhengqing came to the hotel?" ”

Yu Cheng hurriedly replied: "At about seven o'clock in the evening, it was already dark. ”

Ning Zhiheng asked: "Call the manager and a few waiters, I want to know if room 202 is open, or has it been booked?" ”

Yu Cheng hurriedly replied: "I've checked, Room 202 is Gu Zhengqing's long-term reservation, probably every once in a while, Gu Zhengqing will come to stay for one night, and the manager and waiter know him." ”

Ning Zhiheng was stunned for a moment, and asked confirmatively, "When did you check it?" Before or after the crime? ”

"After the incident, Gu Zhengqing's motive for choosing Huaqing Hotel is unknown, I am not sure if there are any of them in Huaqing Hotel, so after coming to the hotel, I did not ask the service staff about any news about Gu Zhengqing and room 202, and I did not control these people, for fear of startling the snake, but I opened room 208 next to him for surveillance, I didn't expect that there was still a mistake, after the incident, I controlled all the personnel and inquired."

Ning Zhiheng nodded, and said lightly: "I finally have some brains, go and bring everyone over." ”

"Yes!"

Soon Yu Cheng brought the manager of the hotel and the five waiters up, and Ning Zhiheng looked at them all with a gloomy face, and then asked the manager in a suit: "Do you know the guest who was killed?" ”

The manager trembled and said: "I know, his name is Wan Yingguang, he is our guest here, he rented room 202 half a year ago, said that he is a businessman, every time he comes to Chongqing to do business, he stays here for one night, and leaves early the next morning, who knows that this time something like this will happen..."

Ning Zhiheng continued: "How often does he come to stay?" Does he live alone every time? Has anyone ever come to him? ”

This series of questions made the hotel manager even more nervous, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, thought about it and then replied: "There is no fixed time for this, at the beginning it came more frequently, about once a week, and then more than ten days, this time it was more than a month and did not come, every time I came to live alone, but sometimes there are friends to talk about things." ”

"Friend, is it the same person every time? What does it look like? ”

The manager smiled bitterly: "I really can't remember clearly, I have a lot of guests here, Mr. Wan has come less often, and people pay money to rent a room, this room is used by him, as for how he uses it, whether it will be a guest, I don't care, I didn't pay much attention, but I have the impression that I have seen it twice, it is a young man in his twenties." ”

Ning Zhiheng turned his head to the other waiters again, his tone became more stern, and he asked: "The manager is too busy, you always have some impressions, answer me honestly, if you dare to hide it, I will bring you back to the Military Control Bureau, and don't think about it in this life." ”

These five waiters were already frightened and at a loss, they had already known the identities of these people before, and they turned out to be the Military Command Bureau where the common people had heard of the change, so they had been waiting for inquiries uneasily, and now as soon as Ning Zhiheng opened his mouth, where did he dare to hide it.

An older waiter replied, "I met him once, and he was also a young man in his twenties, but he was wearing a long shirt and a top hat, and I couldn't see it clearly." ”

The other two waiters also said they had met once, and described their physical features.

Ning Zhiheng inquired for a long time, and finally determined that this person was in his twenties, not tall, but he was dressed differently, and he couldn't tell the appearance, he only remembered that he was quite handsome, but it was difficult to describe it specifically, after all, the time interval was relatively long, and everyone was in a hurry, and he couldn't remember it clearly, which made Ning Zhiheng, who was going to paint the portrait of the suspect according to the description, have no idea where to start.

And there were contradictions in their descriptions, as if they didn't look like the same person, and in the end Ning Zhiheng simply gave up.

He finally understood that the person who met Gu Zhengqing must be a person, after all, Gu Zhengqing's intelligence value is huge, and it is impossible for the upline responsible for contacting him to change back and forth.

But every time this person meets Gu Zhengqing, he must have undergone a certain disguise and some disguise, and each disguise has changed a little, so these managers and waiters describe differently, but in their descriptions, this person's height is certain.

This is a master of disguise and disguise!

Ning Zhiheng secretly made a judgment, the other party was also very cautious, and he always met Gu Zhengqing after disguise, so as not to leave a clear impression on others.

In the end, Ning Zhiheng finally gave up the plan to paint a portrait, put down the pen and paper helplessly, and then asked: "How long do the two people talk about each time they meet?" ”

This time, the answer was also different, only two waiters were somewhat impressed, one said it was about two hours, and the other said it was about three hours.

Hearing their answers, Ning Zhiheng couldn't help but move his eyes, the time for the members of the intelligence team to connect should be as short as possible, and they should generally separate as soon as possible after passing on the information, so that it would be safer, even if it was to talk about things, it would be enough for ten or twenty minutes at most, but these two people stayed in the same room for several hours, which was not normal.

It's not like a joint, it's like a lover's date!

Ning Zhiheng's mind kept thinking, according to the description of the hotel manager and waiter, Gu Zhengqing has been in contact with the upline for half a year, sometimes for seven or eight days, sometimes for more than ten days, and the longest time is only more than a month.

Gu Zhengqing is even a core member of the decipherment room, but what he has access to is only some unknown passwords, how can there be so much confidential information transmitted, there is no need for him and the upline to contact so frequently.

Thinking of the previous judgment, this connector is good at disguise, and each meeting lasts two to three hours.

Ning Zhiheng suddenly reacted, this upline should be a woman, she and Gu Zhengqing are not connecting, but dating, or rather, at the same time as connecting, dating between lovers.

However, this is just a guess, everything needs to be further verified, thinking of this, Ning Zhiheng quickly walked to Gu Zhengqing's body and began to examine it carefully.

Gu Zhengqing was stabbed in the chest, but when he died, he was lying face down, in this case, it is very likely that the murderer attacked Gu Zhengqing in the back, and then fell forward, forming the current posture.

The advantage of this is that the murderer can attack suddenly, catch Gu Zhengqing off guard, and at the same time avoid frontal assassination, you must know that frontal assassination is easy to be sprayed on the murderer's body by Gu Zhengqing's blood, and it will be seen when he evacues, so that there is a flaw and it is easy to be discovered.

Ning Zhiheng turned to Cheng and asked, "When the murderer did it, didn't you hear any movement in the room next to you?" ”

Yu Cheng shook his head awkwardly and replied, "No, I didn't hear any movement at all." ”

"The waiter you met, how long did his hair go?"

"Hair? He was wrapped around his head, and he couldn't tell how long. ”

Sichuan people have the habit and custom of wrapping their heads, and the streets are full of men and women who wrap their heads, which is difficult to distinguish.

Ning Zhiheng was a little disappointed, and then he asked, "Then what is his height?" ”

Yu Cheng recalled for a moment and said, "The figure is not high, probably..."

He looked left and right, then pointed to a waiter and said, "It's about the same as him." ”

This waiter is not tall, that is, about 1.62 meters or 1.63 meters, which is relatively short among men, which matches the description of the hotel manager and waiter before.

Ning Zhiheng turned his head to look at Gu Zhengqing's body again, he looked at Gu Zhengqing's approximate height, then squatted down and carefully checked the collar and shoulders of Gu Zhengqing's coat.

Gu Zhengqing's height is about 1.73 to 1.74 meters, and the murderer's height is about 1.62 meters, if the other party attacks and kills him from behind, and wants to ensure that Gu Zhengqing doesn't make a sound, then it must be one hand covering Gu Zhengqing's mouth from behind, and at the same time holding the short-bladed dagger with the other hand, bypassing the body, the assassination angle is upward, diagonally close to the ribs and piercing into the heart, and at the same time agitating the dagger to expand the wound, which can make Gu Zhengqing lose the ability to resist in a very short time.

If it is this posture, with the height of the murderer, then his head must be close to the back of Gu Zhengqing's neck or shoulders, assuming that the murderer is a woman, her face is likely to have the smell of fat powder or perfume, which may be contaminated with Gu Zhengqing's body.

Ning Zhiheng carefully inspected these two parts, and sniffed carefully, although Gu Zhengqing's body was stained with a lot of blood and blood, but the position of the back collar and shoulders was not contaminated, Ning Zhiheng's eyesight and sense of smell were far beyond ordinary people, and soon, he still smelled a trace of fat powder from it.

Especially at the back collar of Gu Zhengqing, he actually found an extremely faint red trace, which was not the same color as blood when looked at carefully, and it looked very much like the shape of a lip.

That's right, the murderer should be a woman, although some modifications have been made in the appearance, but some of the characteristics of the woman have not been completely removed, the lipstick on her lips has not been wiped clean, while strangling Gu Zhengqing's neck, her lips and Gu Zhengqing's back collar are tightly pasted together, leaving a very faint trace.

Ning Zhiheng had this judgment, and his heart was relieved, and everything was right.

Gu Zhengqing's upline is a woman, and the two of them are still lovers, when Gu Zhengqing was in contact with this upline before, it was even more of a dating nature.

But later, the number of times they met gradually decreased, especially after Yi Dong's death, they were completely cut off from each other, thinking that the Japanese should have let Yi Dong enter a dormant state in order to avoid the internal investigation of the Military Control Bureau, after all, they could not guarantee whether the Military Control Bureau would be suspicious of Yi Dong's death.

But this time they met, why did this upline suddenly kill Gu Zhengqing? Such an important intelligence agent gave up so easily? What the hell is going on here? Ning Zhiheng thought hard, but he couldn't get the right answer.
