Three days later......

Bell ...... The sound of the iron door opening sounded, and in the humble room, when Zhuang Wanning, who was sitting dry, turned her head sideways, she saw the policewoman who brought her in appear in front of the door.

After being locked up for a few days, no matter how irritable she was, Zhuang Wanning asked weakly: "Ah SIR, I want to listen to our story again, what details are not clear? It's almost the details of going to bed, and we haven't had time to get on it yet...... Kissing is there, you're interested in that?"

The details, she can't remember how many times she has said it, I don't know if the policemen with "Guoan" on the armbands are annoyed, anyway, she is annoyed, Dai Lanjun smiled and said: "No need, your matter has been investigated, you can go, please?"

"Can you go?" Zhuang Wanning stood up in surprise, hurriedly went out, looked at Dai Lanjun and another policewoman she didn't know suspiciously, and asked vigilantly, "Can you really go?"

"Of course, I'm here to let you go. Du Hanmei said with a smile.

"That's all there is to it? You say it's closed, just lock me up, and if you say let me go, let me go?" Zhuang Wanning took two steps, and came back angrily to question, the knife mouth slashed horizontally and vertically, and counted: "Only give me two meals a day, don't let me contact my family, don't let me watch TV and read books...... The most annoying thing is that they are not allowed to take a bath? This is said to be released, and there is no explanation at all?"

It's not easy to deal with, the one who was really wronged, I'm afraid that I have to accumulate a stomach, Zhuang Wanning, who questioned her, even had the urge to go back and be locked up in the demonstration, if it wasn't for the fear of being locked up, she looked at the two dumbfounded policewomen and said angrily: "I want to see your leader, I reserve the right to sue you." ”

"Let's go, the leader is waiting outside. Du Hanmei said politely.

"Sue it, it is suspected of national security, and no court dares to accept your prosecution. Dai Lanjun said excitedly.

"Who are you scaring about?" Zhuang Wanning said disdainfully, pointing directly at Dai Lanjun and saying, "I recognize you, you are the one who handcuffed me...... I don't believe that you still cover the sky with one hand, believe it or not, exposed to the Internet. ”

"Oh, no problem...... But you better wait, your boyfriend Marbo, who will soon be prosecuted by us for espionage. Don't be surprised, the evidence is overwhelming. Dai Lanjun said, following the news, Zhuang Wanning screamed, looked at Dai Lanjun in horror, and then looked at Du Hanmei, with an expression of disbelief, Du Hanmei reminded: "You have only been closed for a few days, this is not bad...... Let's go?"

"Hey, you're mistaken, right? How could he be a spy?" Zhuang Wanning asked in disbelief as she followed Dai Lanjun's footsteps.

"Then what do you think a spy should look like?" Dai Lanqun asked impatiently.

Zhuang Wanning unceremoniously stimulated: "It's good that you look like you, Ma Bo was an engineering nerd when he was in school, you say he is a spy, who believes it? You ask your friends around you, he can't even talk nonsense...... Doing business is more honest than anyone else...... Yes. ”

Zhuang Wanning couldn't go on, Dai Lanjun and Du Hanmei looked at her with complicated eyes, she was stunned for a while and asked, "...... Is he really?"

The two nodded, and Dai Lanjun said: "It is precisely because of the discovery of clues that the bureau will control you, on the one hand, to find out the details, and on the other hand, to protect ...... He has admitted that it was precisely in order to find a stand-in who stayed abroad and lived in Chang'an for a long time that he chose you, and he stole your identity information to facilitate money laundering...... As for that Li Congjun, who is also their accomplice, you should be glad that you were not ruined by them. ”

Zhuang Wanning listened, her expression was awe-inspiring, when she understood that everything she had been a lie before, she was inexplicably angry, and couldn't help but cover her nose and cry, that sadness made her so uncomfortable that she didn't even have the strength to walk in an instant, squatted against the wall, and cried.

Du Hanmei tried to squat down to persuade her, but was stopped by Dai Lanjun, it is better to cry out of sadness, or she will not be suffocated.

Zhuang Wanning cried very sadly, I don't know if it was because of the deceived feelings, or because of her own circumstances, Li Congjun went in and out of Baijiu, most of the time he was a glamorous character, and once invited Zhuang Wanning, but when Zhuang Wanning found out that Baijiu would probably have a dirty transaction, she wisely withdrew, but who would have thought that she was unfortunately selected by Ma Bo and pursued by Yan Dengke, in fact, these three bastards all admired Zhuang Wanning, and when she cried so sadly, Dai Lanjun understood a little, this stupid girl is defeated and simple, and success is simple, Ma Boxu really likes her, so he didn't tell her at all。

Misfortune is not a blessing in misfortune.

Dai Lanjun reminded: "Don't cry, let's go, their lives will end here, and you, you need a new beginning, forget about them." ”

Zhuang Wanning sobbed and wiped her tears, scolding this bastard who suffered a thousand knives inarticulately, Du Hanmei picked her up, even at this time, Zhuang Wanning did not give the two policewomen a good face, wiped her tears while walking, out of the basement of the detention room of the Secret Bureau, the comfort of seeing the sun again made her a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, when she saw the car parked outside the door, she ran to an old man standing next to the car, and the two hugged each other and cried.

"The work has been done enough, Chen Ju personally came to the door, and Director Chen and Director Dong made a special trip to pick up Professor Zhuang...... Hey, I don't know if there will be a psychological shadow. Du Hanmei watched, several members of the action team saluted Professor Zhuang's father and daughter, and sent the crying Zhuang Wanning to the car.

"Actually, there's no need for this, when did we arrest someone politely. Dai Lanjun said with a smile.

"Give the informant face......... I dare say that he is definitely one of Mr. Zhuang's admirers. Du Hanmei said.

Dai Lanjun was stabbed and asked, "How can you see it?"

"This is not simple, in fact, Qiu Di found out that Ma Bo had a problem, and kept hinting that Zhuang Wanning left, and after the incident, he sent a notice to Director Dong and issued a notice of arrest, and the notice was inexplicable, let's use the notice for arrest...... is also out of the psychology of protecting her, but if a man has a protective psychology against a woman, it means that he likes this woman. Du Hanmei's detailed analysis.

This analysis made Dai Lanjun's stomach sour, and she asked: "What if this man can make him protective, more than one woman?"

"Isn't this normal?man, are there any people who don't care?" said Du Hanmei with a smile.

Dai Lanjun uh, don't ask, the two of them greeted the returning action team and stepped forward.

sent away this pair, but Chen Ao was complaining to Dong Chunjie and said, "...... How busy are you, you pull me to do this, I said, Lao Dong, is it necessary to do this? More than a dozen cadres at the department and department levels have been summoned...... We don't need to come forward to summon them, just because he's Qiu Di's classmate?"

"Ah, courtesy to people, you can Fu people, you don't understand this, you just put on a straight face and pretend to be big-headed...... Look at everyone, let's talk about it, look at his face, as if someone owes him 800 hangings, can you be in a good mood?" Dong Chunjie dragged Chen Ao and pointed at it, deliberately letting Chen Ao go to the sea.

The peers were all eating and laughing, and Chen Ao said a little embarrassed: "Comrades, I take this opportunity to solemnly apologize to everyone, especially Comrade Xiao Dai, who has been wronged...... But this really can't be relied on me, my role here, Chen Ju strictly ordered me to try to obstruct the handling of cases in action, get as close to the bureaucracy as possible in terms of appearance, and get as close to mediocrity as possible in understanding...... I can't help it, I don't dare to be wise, I don't dare to violate discipline. ”

After the end of this play, the estrangement caused by suspicion has long disappeared, leaving more embarrassment, Wang Zhuo saluted Chen Ao and said: "I'm sorry, Chen...... I ......"

"Do you suspect that I am really an internal ghost?" Chen Ao smiled, took his hand and said: "You're welcome, you are a good supporting role, you can't do without you, I'm afraid I'll give you little shoes." ”

Wang Zhuo smiled embarrassedly, and Dai Lanjun followed closely behind, and also solemnly saluted Chen Ao and said, "I'm sorry, Chen, I've been looking for an opportunity to apologize to you, I shouldn't question the orders of my superiors." ”

"No, no, no...... You questioned very well, in our team, there is a lack of this kind of different voices, it should be me to salute you, you have paid too much for your career......" Chen Ao returned a salute, took Dai Lanjun's stump hand, and patted it wordlessly.

"Go, take someone's girl's hand in broad daylight, don't fix it...... Hey, Chen Ao, don't say that I don't give face, this time the face is big enough, the team leader has given it to you, if you can't do it, you will be criticized when you turn around, it's none of my business. Lao Dong said with a smile, this great favor made Chen Ao a little cramped, he was cramped, Dong Chunjie smiled and said: "Look at this old man, he will blush, haha...... In your eyes, I used to be a straw bale with a belly of fried noodles, right?"

"It's the same now. Chen Ao stimulated him, but then smiled and said, "It's a pity, if you think too highly of yourself, it's often better than a down-to-earth straw bale...... Lao Dong, you are willing to do it, and I am not greedy for this credit. ”

"Wrong, this little thing to deal with the aftermath, I'm going to be too big and useless, so I can only trouble you. Dong Chunjie smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, I see. As soon as Zhang Longcheng shouted, Wang Zhuo said, "How many people?"

"That's right, they haven't withdrawn yet, Lao Dong, this is ......" Chen Ao said in surprise.

"You don't believe it, I'm looking for the last den of Sukehei Tangami, I bet I can find it...... What you bet, I pay. Lao Dong said proudly, but he didn't win a response to this, no one gambled with him, Chen Ao said with a little dissatisfaction: "This should be done by our people, in fact, we can still put Ma Bo on trial, right? Although he is a spy, he is obviously still a second-generation official who has not experienced any major events." ”

"The older a person gets, the thicker his skin becomes, and when people have done everything, you say that you can do it? Dong Chunjie said excitedly.

Chen Ao, who is strict with himself in this kind of thing, naturally didn't take over, Lao Dong was too lazy to discuss with him, with his hands behind his back, he shouted to the driver with a figure-eight step, everyone knew Lao Dong's temper, and his mouth was broken, but when he was going to prison, you wanted to say something from his mouth, Chen Ao smiled and shook his head, and led everyone back to the action group, at this time, Dai Lanjun didn't know what he thought, and chased Chen Ao for instructions, Chen Ao waved his hand, Dai Lanjun caught up with Lao Dong in a hurry, and sat in the car where he was traveling.

"I know that your little girl can't stand loneliness. Lao Dong said with a smile, looked back at Dai Lanjun, and asked cautiously: "Is it ......?"

"Miss him, what's wrong? If you want to see him, you can't see him, Chen has approved it. Dai Lanjun said generously.

"There's good news, do you want to hear it?" Dong Chunjie asked with seductive eyes.

"It won't be, you want to make an exception, right?" Dai Lanjun knew Dong Chunjie's mind too well.

Lao Dong was happy, and said with a smile: "Guessed, I didn't even speak, Chen Ju asked, Guan Qianjiao's little girl is really powerful, decryption is faster than Wang Zhuo, he tracked Duan Xiaotang's illegal funds, and directly bypassed the firewall of UnionPay, I don't know how she did it...... However, Chen Ju said that it is better to recruit this kind of dangerous person. ”

"What about the enemy?" Dai Lanjun asked curiously.

"Qiu Di is no problem, the roots are red, Lao Chen wants to cultivate the second Fei Ming...... But Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei can't do it, San'er is a bastard, and there are a lot of cases. Geng Baolei can't do it, Macau has been a stacker, this is a black background in the archives, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the political trial. Dong Chunjie said, with his meaning, he wished to recruit a few people under his command, he said while driving: "Don't think about it now, maybe you can see you every day in the future, how about a husband and wife joint operation for the two of you?...... Oh, it doesn't work, did you confess to Shicheng?"

Dai Lanjun was upset, and reprimanded: "Are you annoyed? Aren't there just two men? One husband and the other as lovers, what's so difficult?"

Oh, this is not a solution, Lao Dong was awe-inspiringly taught, and he didn't dare to ask again.........

.......................................

.......................................

When the stuffy tanker drove into the war preparation road near Zaoyuan, the four people who had been bored for a few days were attracted by the scenery here.

The streets are straight, the trees are shady, there are many two- or three-storey houses along the way, and sometimes you can see the old elm tree that several people hug, the crown is towering into the clouds, and the branches stretch for more than ten meters, which adds a bit of simple and solemn charm here.

"This is it. Qiu Di slapped his face.

The remaining two field workers and three companions booed in unison, this sentence was repeated many times in three days, but in the end they were all in vain, and disappointment was more contagious than the flu, and one field worker said: "Qiu Di, there is no result anyway, or rest." ”

"Why didn't it work, at least we knew...... This is, for the first ...... The thirteenth region will definitely not be Li Congjun's hiding place. Qiu Di said, failure is success, and a lot of has been found.

But the others are about to scold him, damn it, Bao Xiaosan was dozing off, turned over and ignored him, Geng Baolei said: "I can't find it, what's the matter with us? ”

"What are you going back for? A little disappointment here, can it be more than the blow of unemployment?" Qiu Di rebuked.

Guan Qianjiao laughed, she reminded Qiu Di and said, "Hey, Qiu Di, you haven't told me how much money you have to give me......?" I knew that you had found such a home, so I wouldn't come, how will I work in the future, the slightest movement, maybe I will have to be called for questioning. ”

"What do you want so much money for a little girl's family......? Quick, delicate, give me the topography of the street view. Qiu Di said, Guan Qianjiao gave it to him unhappily, at this time she was worried in her heart, she knew very well the style of the relevant departments, and she had to make selfless dedication like this.

But Qiu Di's selfless dedication is also very hard, he looked for the street scene, compared, kicked the sleeping Bao Xiaosan twice, and talked about his grand speech: "I think this place is very consistent, and it should be checked." ”

Zaoyuan New Village? It was a duplex house, one of the high-end residential areas developed in Chang'an City in the early days, but Guan Qianjiao pouted, spread her hands and said: "Brother Hey, 1,500 households, you can check." ”

"Hey, don't be discouraged...... Zhanbei Road is less than 20 kilometers away from the Xilan Expressway, only 24 kilometers away from the urban area, and there is a mountain park on the bank of the Bahe River and on the slope of Zaoyuan New Village...... This is quite consistent with Li Congjun's taste, quiet, elegant environment, good air, few people, commercial community, no need to deal with each other, most of the rich people in the city live here...... It's so qualified, it's not far from here to Beilin District, it's faster to go outside than to go to the city, and at night from here to pick up girls near Chang'an University, and it takes 20 minutes to get there...... Hey, I think that's it...... Another biggest key is that, according to Jin Hong's confession, she and Li Congjun met twice at the intersection ......of Xilan Expressway," Qiu Di said.

"Just this judgment?" Geng Baolei said in disbelief.

"Yes, quite accurately. Qiu Di Yan said.

"You brag, you don't even know how to come here. "A field worker exposed Qiu Di's lies, and Qiu Di laughed.

The three of them asked, and the field staff of the team leader said, according to Jin Hong's confession, the mobile phone number that Li Congjun had used was found out of the access base station, and it was roughly located in the western suburbs, and the cellular mobile communication was accessed nearby, and the field staff pointed to the communication tower on the top of the mountain, that is, they were all accessed from that base station, then he should be within a radius of ten kilometers, at least outside the adjacent access base station.

And this area, in line with Qiu Di's positioning conditions, is also the high-end community of Zhanbei Road, the rest of the garbage piles, elimination, adjacent to the crematorium, elimination, adjacent to the chemical industry, electric power places, elimination, removal, this is left.

"Oh, it's a great place to live. At the beginning of getting off the bus, Guan Qianjiao looked at the community with green trees and green spaces, and sighed.

"Wow, the housing prices here are not low, and they have definitely appreciated a lot. Geng Baolei said.

"Silly X, as if you can afford it. Bao Xiaosan reprimanded.

The three of them are in different moods, accompanied by the two field workers, chasing Qiu Di and asking old questions, right, how to start?

If there is a pseudonym, it is not easy to do, the problem is that there must be a pseudonym. Qiu Di smiled and said: "After countless encounters, I have summed up the experience of digging out him, look at me." ”

"What's the matter?" Bao Xiaosan was curious.

"Try your luck, maybe his name is really Li Congjun. Qiu Di said with a smile, provoking several people to give him the middle finger.

The property that the group directly looked for was indeed bluffing, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the other party was confused, and the property sister-in-law asked strangely: "Look at you, I don't know what it's called, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, I'm a thousand households, so I will lead you to check it for a month, you have time, and we don't have that effort." ”

"Check the name Li Congjun. Qiu Di reminded.

"No ......" the sister-in-law checked and shook her head.

"Then, look for your property staff and see who has seen these two people...... Sister-in-law, you really have to help, these are two dangerous people, and it is also good for your management to clear them as soon as possible, don't you have to find our police if something happens?"

Seventeen or eighteen electricians, plumbers, and cleaners called in and identified them one by one in the house.

One by one comes in, and then one by one shakes the head, and as the more you shake your head, I'm afraid the disappointment is inevitable.

Qiu Di went out thoughtfully, he paced downstairs, raised his eyes to look at the duplex house with more than ten floors, and tried to recall what he saw in the home of Keiko Nakano and Sukehei Tangami, the quiet environment, yes, this is it; the elegant landscape, yes, there is a distant mountain and near the water, and there is a small garden in the community, rockery, fountains, yes...... However, I'm afraid there are many missed opportunities, they want to use a fake identity, who may know what name will be used? Moreover, if it is a hiding place, I'm afraid that even Duan Xiaotang will not know about this place, Nakano was killed and he didn't say it, Ma Bo and Xu Peihong have been looking for it, then it should be hidden very deeply.

That's right, this is in line with the hidden conditions, commercial community, neighbors do not get along, property in addition to fees or charges, no matter who you are, and they go in and out, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to the identity problem, because most of the people here are from the city, and many fresh faces who come on weekends and holidays are too common.

Grade...... Grade...... But you can't just watch them one by one.

When he saw the neat environment, he had a flash of inspiration, as if he had caught something, and at this time, the field staff upstairs shouted: "Qiu Di, I didn't recognize it...... Director Dong asked what we should do at noon? ”

"Wait......" Qiu Di thought of a chicken-like way at this time, and hurriedly ran into the property office and said: "You can help us check it like this, check that over the years, the electricity and water bills have been very small, almost the least......... Check the electricity, water, property fees, and other expenses to pay the most punctual ...... Check it out, never bothered with the ...... of the property"

"Is there anything else like this?" the property sister-in-law was displeased, but she still checked it.

"It's easy to understand how little you pay and how many times you must come...... What does it mean to be on time?" asked Guan Qianjiao.

"The devil's civilization is high, rules, trustworthiness, and punctuality, in this regard, I think that the local tyrants are eighty percent lower than him, and their faces can be ever-changing, and the habits brought by these bones will not change. Qiu Di said, the spotless room and exquisite decoration and furnishings gave the impression deep enough.

"What does it mean to never bother with property?" Geng Baolei asked.

"I definitely try to avoid contact with other people, I'm afraid they don't have time to bother the property. Qiu Di said.

"Hey, there's really ...... This ......" sister-in-law pointed to the explanation, generally at the beginning of each year, the notice posted at the door of the building, did not check and really did not find, for five years, among the few people who paid the fee on the day of the notice, there was a strange name "Xue Zihui", and the property fee was paid on time on the same day for several years.

"Zihui...... Keiko...... Haha, I'll keep it simple. Qiu Di smiled nervously.

Those few were stunned for a moment, and then they also smiled nervously, perhaps, this should be the truth, because the truth is often broken through the iron shoes and nowhere to be found, and it takes no effort to get it.

Soon, on a certain floor of Building 13, the field staff opened this door that had been sealed for a long time......... Tell you, you didn't even know you were here. "A field worker exposed Qiu Di's lies, and Qiu Di laughed.

The three of them asked, and the field staff of the team leader said, according to Jin Hong's confession, the mobile phone number that Li Congjun had used was found out of the access base station, and it was roughly located in the western suburbs, and the cellular mobile communication was accessed nearby, and the field staff pointed to the communication tower on the top of the mountain, that is, they were all accessed from that base station, then he should be within a radius of ten kilometers, at least outside the adjacent access base station.
