Chapter 125: The Secret of the Clubhouse
Since Geng Chaozhong returned to the Party Investigation Section, he has not taken a step out of the Party Investigation Section building for a whole week.
Zhou Ning's first surrender of the intelligence unit made all those who looked at the direction of the wind clearly understand the situation, and they came to Geng Chaozhong's office one after another to express their allegiance.
Especially Director Lang of the interrogation room, this person has been in charge of the interrogation room for more than four years, and his qualifications are relatively old, and when he is the last to enter the office, Geng Chaozhong understands that the party investigation department's one-acre and three-point land is finally up to him.
During this period, Gao Yaozu also asked to see him, but Geng Chaozhong left him outside under the pretext of intelligence dredging. This person, first hang out, and when he is completely in control of the overall situation, it is not too late to call him back.
It's not that he's afraid of him, it's just that Geng Chaozhong was upset when he saw Gao Yaozu's face.
Immediately afterwards, Geng Chaozhong transferred Xiao Yi back to firmly control the telecommunications room, and also replaced the director of the logistics unit, and transferred Jin Huajin to the logistics unit as the acting chief. This logistics unit has always been the forbidden domain of the section chief, and no one dares to object to this.
That afternoon, after Geng Chaozhong finished handling affairs, Mao Liang came in to report the situation.
"Section chief, it's been nearly a week since we laid the net, but there hasn't been any movement on the club's side, is there a problem with the intelligence? Otherwise, we will simply arrest them and interrogate them directly, Director Lang got a few new equipment from the United States, and I can't believe that I can't review them! β
Mao Liangcai stood in front of Geng Chaozhong, his eyes were a little anxious - in fact, he couldn't blame him, the action team did things, what he was most afraid of was that he had a lot of dreams at night, and now he had two clear goals, but he didn't grasp it, and he couldn't eat the credit that he could get at his lips, Mao Liangcai was really itchy and uncomfortable.
"It's only been a week, and the Japanese are very patient when they do this kind of thing. If it were me, I wouldn't be absolutely sure, and I wouldn't do it. β
Geng Chaozhong kept flipping through the documents in his hand, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart.
"So we're just waiting?" Mao Liangcai asked.
"Waiting and patience are the most scarce qualities of human beings." Geng Chaozhong replied without raising his head.
Mao Liangcai was speechless, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said his analysis:
"Section Chief, I know you want to determine their target, and you also want to follow the vine, I have also investigated recently, people from the government, people from the military, businessmen, Nisezu, whether they are close to the Japanese, or those who have had holidays with the Japanese, many people have been to the clubhouse, but those two killers don't seem to have any movement. Could it be that the people they were waiting for never went to the clubhouse? β
"It's possible, for example, I've been busy lately and don't have time to go over." Geng Chaozhong yawned and said.
Mao Liangcai said "um", and after a while, his eyes suddenly widened, stared at Geng Chaozhong in surprise, and asked:
"You mean, they're targeting you?!"
"Of course it could be me! I am the head of the Party Investigation Section, and I have offended them before, so it is not surprising that the Japanese want to kill me. The huge island city, the people the Japanese really want to kill at all costs, Mayor Shen, I, Zhang Haogu, should be in the top three! β
Geng Chaozhong nodded, looked at Mao Liangcai and smiled.
"So you haven't been out all this time?" Mao Liangcai asked.
Geng Chaozhong laughed, shook his head and said:
"It's not all, I'm really busy during this time, of course, I won't swagger in the past and let them kill, in short, let the Japanese consume their patience, and they will cherish the opportunity more. You go down and get ready! We'll go to Shinmori in a while, and I want to see if the goal of the Japanese is me! β
"Okay." Mao Liangcai barely suppressed the shock in his heart and hurriedly walked out.
Waiting for Mao Liang to go down, Geng Chaozhong also stood up and began to pack up.
Who has been to the Xinsheng bathing club during this time, no one knows better than Geng Chaozhong, Zhang Haogu has been there, the people from the city hall have also been there, and even Mao Liangcai has been there in order to familiarize himself with the venue, but the Japanese have not done it, so ruled it out, and he has become one of the few people who has not gone to the bath.
Therefore, the probability that you are the target of the Japanese assassination is getting bigger and bigger!
Geng Chaozhong guessed the thoughts of the Japanese, when he first returned to the island city, he had been living in the party investigation department, and they had no way to do it, and by monitoring themselves, they found that they often went to the Xinsheng bathing club to take a bath, so they decided to send killers to infiltrate the club in advance and wait for an opportunity to assassinate.
Whether it's time or behavior, it can be aligned.
However, they could not imagine that they went to Xinsheng Bathing Club not only to take a bath, but also because it was their own industry, and they needed to inspect the business there.
They didn't know that they knew everything about the Xinsheng Bathing Club, and they could gradually control every move in the club through Zhou Hong.
In short, this incident is not a coincidence. In some cases, it can even be said to be inevitable.
Even if he is not Japanese, as long as someone wants to kill him, he will invariably choose Xinsheng to take a bath, because he only has such a chance left - since he returned to the familiar island city in the northeast, Geng Chaozhong also needs to test whether there are still people staring at him.
The Japanese don't want to think about how a person like himself, whose hands are stained with Japanese blood, can easily go to a strange place? This opportunity was not found by them, but provided to them by themselves. Even if you don't hear that conversation with the Japanese, it's not easy for them to kill themselves.
Because, that's your home turf!
Geng Chaozhong packed his bags and came downstairs, Mao Liangcai had already prepared the car, and when Geng Chaozhong came over, he immediately opened the car door to escort Geng Chaozhong in, and then drove to Xinsheng to take a bath.
arrived at the destination, came relatively early today, only more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at this time, there were not too many people in the clubhouse, Mao Liang stopped the car, went to see it first, and then notified Geng Chaozhong to go in.
"You drive back to prepare, the speed must be fast, within half an hour, take care of the entire Xinsheng bath, as for my safety, you don't have to worry." Geng Chaozhong instructed Mao Liangcai, turned around and walked into the clubhouse.
Geng Chaozhong walked into the lobby, a guy greeted him, and the rest of the guys slapped their towels on their backs, shouting in unison: "Welcome guests!" β
Geng Chaozhong smiled, glanced at a few guys, nodded, and walked in. When he arrived at the outer hall, Geng Chaozhong took off his clothes, changed into a bathrobe, and began to walk insideβwith this step, no one could bring weapons into the field, which basically eliminated too many safety hazards.
Walking into the bathhouse, another guy greeted him and asked with a smile on his face:
"Hello guests, would you like a hot spring or a barrel bath? The barrel bath can be selected fragrant soup bath, which is added with a variety of precious Chinese medicines, which has the effect of relieving heat and dampness, awakening and refreshing the brain. β
"Okay, then let's have a bucket bath, remember, put a taste of Chinese medicine angelica in the soup, and my stomach has not been very comfortable recently." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"Okay!" The guy's eyes lit up, his gaze paused slightly on Geng Chaozhong's face, and he immediately turned around to prepare.
Geng Chaozhong walked into a six-square-meter single room and sat there waiting.
After a while, two men came in carrying a wooden bucket, began to add water to it, and then added wolfberry, safflower, honeysuckle, forsythia and other things to it, and finally, the guy just walked in with an oilskin paper bag and said:
"Boss, this is the angelica you wanted."
