Chapter 233

"Team Leader Fang, have you found out what the brokerage company is doing with Ren Cheng?"

Chu Lingyun asked quickly, while Fang Hai shook his head: "It's too late, everyone in their company is off work, and my people didn't find anyone to call, so I came back to report first."

"Team Leader Fang, Team Leader Zhu, follow me."

Chu Lingyun got up immediately, Zhu Qing naturally followed behind him, and Fang Hai hurriedly followed.

The clues found in the investigation must be implemented as soon as possible. The time of intelligence work is very important. In many cases, a small amount of time may cause irreversible consequences.

For example, to arrest the traitor Liu Dazhuang, if Chu Lingyun hadn't been a few minutes earlier, Liu Dazhuang would definitely have run away.

Being escaped by him, a good thing will turn into a bad thing, and it will become more difficult to catch him again.

A group of people drove away, and it was already dark outside. Regardless of the time, Chu Lingyun asked Fang Hai's people to find out where everyone in the brokerage company lived.

Get the address and ask door to door.

"Boss Ren is my client, and he asked me to help him find several houses."

After finding a third broker, he finally asked the person who called Ren Cheng.

"Have you found him a house?"

"found it."

So many people came, the broker didn't dare to hide it, so he said quickly.

"Take us there right away."

Chu Lingyun didn't ask for the address. Since it was the house that the broker was looking for, he must know the location. It would not be too late to ask in the car, and he must be taken with him to investigate these places.

Ren Cheng found him 20 days ago and left him his home phone number. He called Ren Cheng after he found the house.

Ren Cheng rented three houses through him, all of which were small.

The first house was still vacant, and the door was forced to enter. The broker shook his head after seeing it clearly. The house was the same as it was before renting. It has not changed, and it can be seen that no one has lived here.

The same is true for the second place, but when it comes to the third place, there is finally a difference here.

This house is much cleaner than the previous two places. There is dust on the furniture, but not much. It is obvious that someone has lived there and has not been away for a long time.

"Leader Fang, go and find out who lived here before and where they went."

Chu Lingyun ordered directly, Fang Hai didn't dare to slack off, knocked on the door of the neighbor's house in the middle of the night, and found the security chief here.

According to what they said, an old man lived here half a month ago, and a couple lived here ten days ago, with two children.

Chu Lingyun asked Fang Hai to show Ren Cheng's photo, and after neighbors identified him, the person living here was indeed Ren Cheng.

But they left five days ago, because they lived here for a very short time and didn't know the neighbors well, so no one knew where they went.

"Didn't Station Master Cai send someone to keep an eye on him after he found out that Ren Cheng was a traitor?"

Chu Lingyun turned around and asked Fang Hai. Fang Hai lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "I'm watching, but I know the people in the station, so I don't dare to get too close, and I lost several times in the middle."

Chu Lingyun didn't know what to say about them even after being lost.

Send the neighbors away, restore the house to its original state, and leave the four people at Hangzhou Station to watch here. If Ren Cheng appears, immediately arrest them.

This hope is also not great, since Ren Cheng has left, he will basically never come back.

But today's investigation has made significant progress.

Ren Cheng was still in Hangzhou five days ago. He didn't leave the city immediately after escaping and went to other places. He and his family had been hiding here.

Chu Lingyun didn't know why Ren Cheng didn't leave Hangzhou, but this was good news for him. If Ren Cheng was still in Hangzhou, there was hope to find him.

If you leave Hangzhou, it is no longer easy to find him.

Back at Hangzhou Station, Fang Hai immediately went to report to the stationmaster. Chu Lingyun didn't leave, and Cai Zhengru didn't dare to leave either. How dare he leave the station at this time, he had to stay and cooperate with Chu Lingyun's investigation.

"Was he there five days ago?"

After hearing what Fang Hai said, Cai Zhengzheng's eyes widened, and his heart was full of annoyance.

If he knew that checking the phone could find such important information, he would have checked Ren Cheng's phone records to the bottom. He never thought that Ren Cheng would dare to stay in Hangzhou after he ran away.

If he didn't feel that Ren Cheng had run away, he wouldn't even take the initiative to report.

Virgo gave him three days, but he didn't expect too much, he could only try his best, and in the end he really couldn't find Ren Cheng in three days.

But only now did he know that Ren Cheng had been under his nose all along, and this result made him extremely regretful.

If I found out about this early and caught people, I wouldn't make Virgo so angry, or even put myself in danger.

"Station Master, Chu Lingyun from the headquarters is really good at solving cases. He has made so many breakthroughs since he came here. I think we can find Ren Cheng this time."

Fang Hai kept nodding, he spent the longest time by Chu Lingyun's side today.

Seeing Chu Lingyun's investigation is ordinary, but it has miraculous effects, and he can catch the key points every time.

This time, he investigated the phone records. With so many people who had called, he first focused on the broker, and then found the place where Ren Cheng used to hide.

"That's right. It seems that Limin has helped me a lot this time. If I can get through this, I must thank him well."

Cai Zhengzheng followed suit and nodded. It's good if he can solve the case. If he can't solve the case, he will be criticized at most when he goes back, and he will not be severely criticized.

After all, it was his fault. It was credit to Chu Lingyun to find out, but he was not responsible if he couldn't.

"Station Master, do you want to express something on Team Leader Chu's side?"

Fang Hai carefully reminded that in just one day, or half a day, Chu Lingyun brought so many breakthroughs to the case, he is definitely a capable person.

People are helping, if you don't give some thanks, you can't justify it.

"You're right. I'll call my family. You can go to my house and bring back twenty gold bars. We don't know what he likes, but there's nothing wrong with sending money."

Cai Zhengzheng kept nodding his head. Chu Lingyun had already shown his value. In order to help Chu Lingyun solve the case more attentively, Cai Zhengzheng was not afraid to spend money.

Fang Hai hesitated for a while, then said slowly: "Is twenty roots a bit small?"

Cai Zhengzheng thought about it, and then said: "Twenty is really not much, maybe thirty. In addition, I will also send some of the things copied last time to Team Leader Chu."

"Yes, station master."

Fang Hai took orders immediately. Last time, he copied some antique calligraphy and paintings. The stationmaster didn't like these things. He wanted to sell them for money, but was stopped by the stationmaster.

He doesn't like it, but many people in the headquarters like it, especially Virgos.

He wants to keep some as gifts and give them away, which is better than buying them when the time comes.

After Fang Hai left, Cai Zheng kept walking back and forth in the office.

After receiving the telegram today, he also didn't have much hope, but the clues Chu Lingyun found, especially the traces of Ren Cheng, let him see the possibility of catching the traitor.

Regardless of life or death, as long as he can catch the traitor, he can pass this level smoothly.

"Team Leader Chu, haven't you rested yet?"

Fang Hai brought a box, came to the door of Chu Lingyun's room, and knocked lightly on the door.

"No, wait a moment."

Chu Lingyun's voice came from inside. He was looking through the phone records, closed the file and opened the door for Fang Hai.

"Group Leader Chu, this is a wish from our station chief, please accept it."

After entering, Fang Hai immediately put the box on the table and said with a smile.

"Team Leader Fang, what are you doing?"

Chu Lingyun was a little different, he really didn't expect that Cai Zheng would give him something.

"It's nothing, thanks to Team Leader Chu for his tireless efforts to help us handle the case, it's just a little thought."

Fang Hai patted the box with a smile, clasped his fists and said, "We have seen your ability, Team Leader Chu. This time, please work hard to help me get through the difficulties at Hangzhou Station."

Fang Hai belongs to Cai Zhengzheng. If Cai Zhengzheng is dismissed, it is impossible for him to be promoted to the station master.

At that time, a station chief will definitely be airborne. No matter who comes, he will not be able to keep his position as the head of the intelligence team. In such an important department as the intelligence team, anyone who comes here will only use his own people.

Keeping the station master is equivalent to keeping himself, Fang Hai knows this very well.

"Team leader Fang is overthinking, this is also my task, and I will definitely handle it well."

Chu Lingyun smiled. Although he was polite, he did not intend to return the things to them.

Someone sends money, which is a good thing.

What's more, although this time it was a task assigned by the director, the first beneficiary after the case was solved was Cai Zhengzheng, and it was only natural that he would pay some money.

"That's great, I won't disturb your rest, I'll take my leave first."

Fang Hai clasped his fists in salute, and then left. After he left, Chu Lingyun opened the box and took a look.

The box is not small, but there is only a small box of gold bars, and there are two pieces of porcelain and four sets of calligraphy and paintings, all of which are old objects from the outside.

Chu Lingyun didn't know much about antiques, but he knew that these things were very valuable.

Perhaps the price is not that high at this time, but it is likely to be a sky-high price in future generations.

Putting the box away, Chu Lingyun continued to look through the documents. From the phone records, it can be seen that Ren Cheng discovered his exposure very early, but he was very patient and did not leave immediately after he found out.

After he was exposed, there were obviously a lot more phone records.

He has called car dealers and commercial companies.

These will be investigated tomorrow. The most critical question right now is whether Ren Cheng is still in Hangzhou. He was there five days ago, but there is no guarantee that he is still there at this time.

If not in Hangzhou, where would he go.

These need to be investigated in detail, and there are too few clues at the moment. Looking at the investigation results of Hangzhou station and Shen Hanwen tomorrow, more useful things can be analyzed by then.

Having nothing to say all night, Chu Lingyun got up early the next day, and came to his office in Hangzhou after breakfast.

"Team Leader Chu, the person we sent to Ren Cheng's hometown has returned. According to this detailed investigation, it was two strange men who picked up Mrs. Ren Cheng at night."

Fang Hai noticed that Chu Lingyun had come to the office and ran over immediately.

"The two men, aren't they Ren Cheng?" Chu Lingyun frowned.

"No, I asked this question all over the village. I got it from an old man. He got up to feed the cow at night and noticed someone passing by the door. Then he saw two strange men driving a carriage and taking Mrs. Ren Cheng away. But because it was dark, he couldn't see the appearance of the two of them clearly, so he could only confirm that it wasn't Ren Cheng."

Fang Hai shook his head, and Chu Lingyun immediately asked: "Go to all the car dealers right away, and check if any carriages have been rented out recently, especially those who went to Ren Cheng's hometown."

Fang Hai was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, I'll investigate right away."

At this moment, Fang Hai didn't realize that his answer was very similar to the attitude of his subordinates towards the chief.

Two people, and no Ren Cheng, then he must have found someone to take his mother over.

He found himself exposed, and dared to take his mother to Hangzhou. It must be said that he was a very courageous person.

These two people are very important, they must have a deep relationship with Ren Cheng, otherwise Ren Cheng would not let them do such a thing.

As for whether these two people are Japanese, Chu Lingyun has not yet made a conclusion.

According to the house rented by Ren Cheng, the two sent him to that place after they received Ren Cheng's mother, and Ren Cheng's mother lived there alone for a few days.

In this case, it is unlikely that the two are Japanese.

If it is Japanese, it is likely that Ren Cheng's mother will control him, and he will not send people there easily.

It is also a mystery why Ren Cheng hid himself instead of going to the Japanese Concession after being exposed and escaped.

Although he was exposed, he was the deputy head of the intelligence team after all, and he was very useful to the Japanese, even if he was on the Japanese side, he would be reused.

Chu Lingyun didn't think about the questions that he couldn't figure out for the time being. If he could capture Ren Cheng alive, all the mysteries would naturally be solved.

"Team leader, I found Ren Cheng."

At noon, Shen Hanwen hurried to the office and said excitedly to Chu Lingyun.

"Have you found him?"

Chu Lingyun got up abruptly, and Shen Hanwen immediately realized that he didn't speak clearly, and hurriedly said: "It's not that he was found, but his whereabouts were found."

"I investigated all Wenwan shops in Hangzhou that have ancient chess records. A shop owner recognized Ren Cheng. Ren Cheng came to his shop two days ago. He did not buy anything, but sold it."

Although there was almost an oolong, Shen Hanwen also brought good news.

Ren Cheng was still present in Hangzhou two days ago, and the possibility that he has not left the city has increased a lot.

"What did he sell?" Chu Lingyun asked immediately.

"This is the list of items he sold, and I brought it back."

Shen Hanwen took out a piece of paper with his own words on it. This is Hangzhou, not Nanjing. If he was in Nanjing, he would bring back all the things Ren Cheng sold.

There are not many things, only three items, two ancient inkstones and a jade bracelet.

The three items were sold for a total of 450 yuan, and they were settled on the spot.

The two inkstones are not expensive, only 150 yuan, and the jade bracelet is the most valuable, selling for [-] yuan.

"Go and invite Team Leader Fang."

After reading the contents of the note, Chu Lingyun gave instructions to Shen Hanwen, and Fang Hai followed Shen Hanwen to the office after a while.

"Group leader Fang, do you know that Ren Cheng has these three things?"

Chu Lingyun handed over the note written by Shen Hanwen. In fact, Shen Hanwen even took a photo and was rushing to develop the photo. He came here first to report the good news.

Fang Hai carefully read the content on the note, and then replied: "I know the inkstone, but I don't know about the jade bracelet. Once we copied someone, and his family had a lot of antiques. At that time, Ren Cheng said he liked the inkstone. Let's see It’s not worth much, so let him take two of them.”

　Congratulations to my friend Yixin Qiuyue for being promoted to head and more.
