Chapter 218 The old man
Chapter 218 The Old Man
"So what? Didn't someone come here to check it out?" Ma Changhe asked in confusion.
"I have checked it, and there is no one you are looking for. But I suddenly remembered something. Lao Wang had an abandoned warehouse a mile away, and there was a house there. When Lao Wang left, he seemed to have mentioned it to me that the broken house was rented. It seemed that the man had paid the rent for several years at one time. Lao Wang was overjoyed at the time. He didn't expect that someone would rent such a broken warehouse." The boss continued.
"I just remembered that there was such a thing, so I would like to remind you to see if it is useful." The boss paused slightly and said again.
"Oh, thank you, point us in a direction and let's go over and take a look." Ma Changhe didn't take it seriously, because there was a lot of this kind of information, mostly useless news, but he was still going to go over and check it out.
The boss then pointed out the specific location of the warehouse. After Ma Changhe thanked the boss, he led people all the way.
"Brothers, I've solved all these bits and pieces." Ma Changhe sent the peanuts he had just bought, took a small sip of old wine comfortably, and led people to the wilderness south of the private house.
After walking a dozen meters away, they saw the old warehouse, two hundred meters away from the old private residential area. There were no main roads, only country roads and weeds. The weather was clear and dry recently, and the road was relatively easy to walk. If it was raining, it would definitely be muddy and difficult to walk.
"It's too cheap to live in such a place." Ma Changhe looked into the distance and shook his head when he saw the dilapidated warehouse.
"I think we shouldn't have to work hard. Go to another place to check it out. Can people still hide in that broken warehouse? I think people rent it and at most they can put miscellaneous items. How could someone live in it?" A team member began to complain.
"Let's go and have a look. Everyone has come. There is an order from above. If you don't let a grasshopper go, you must find the person out. Since that's the case, it's not good if we don't go and see it." Ma Changhe still felt that he wanted to see what was going on.
"You go first, I'll go to the grass next to me and pee on the grass." Another team member shouted again.
"You guy is a kid who has a lot of shit and urine." Ma Changhe teased the short young man who was talking, and then led the people to continue walking forward.
The short young man walked a few steps into the wild grass, and reached a few meters away, and then began to pee into the weeds, with a low whistle whistle.
"It's so cool." The short young man raised his pants comfortably and began to walk back.
"Hey, what is this?" The young man turned his head and suddenly found a clear seal in the soil layer a few meters away, as if it was a pattern, and he muttered softly.
The young man took a few steps and looked down, and saw that it was a very regular texture, which seemed to be left behind when something was pressed out on the road.
"Chief Ma, come and take a look, I've discovered it." The young man shouted at Ma Changhe who had walked more than ten meters ahead.
When Ma Changhe and others heard this, they immediately turned around and walked a few steps, reached the young man, squatted down and started to look.
"This is the wheel mark." One of them quickly recognized it. This was the mark left by a tire passing by on the ground.
"How could there be a car driving here in such a wilderness?" Ma Changhe wrinkled his nose and murmured to himself.
"There is only one left on this wheel mark. The wheels are very narrow, which looks like a motorcycle mark. Could it be..." Ma Changhe looked at the mark carefully and continued to think and said slowly.
Ma Chang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head and asked suddenly: "Zeng Hao has a motorcycle."
"Yes, is it really Zeng Hao in the warehouse?" another person answered.
"Be careful, don't shoot the golden snake, let's stay here, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang, you two go to the warehouse, and then quietly look over to see if there are people inside. If there are people, carefully observe whether it is Zeng Hao." Ma Changhe began to feel a little excited. This wheel mark seemed to show a big problem. There were not many people with motorcycles in this era, and this wheel mark must have been left recently, otherwise it would be gone as soon as the rain came. "Be careful, don't catch the snake."
Everyone began to be alert. Several of them even took out their pistols, but they were immediately ordered to put them away by Ma Changhe. Several of them sat there as if nothing had happened and hid them, and they started to eat peanuts. The two young men touched the warehouse in one direction.
After about ten minutes, the two of them slowly came back. When Xiao Zhang saw Ma Changhe, he was immediately surprised and said, "There are really people living inside. We dare not get too close. We didn't see who was living inside, but there was a sound of someone moving inside. It seemed that there was only one person. We squatted for a while and didn't hear anyone talking."
"And outside the warehouse, we also found several motorcycle wheel marks. It seems that the people inside have indeed rode motorcycles here. I think it is really this kid Zeng Hao, so we can find him now." The little king's eyes shining brightly, as if he had already determined the identity of this person.
"Okay, continue to investigate and find out your identity." Ma Changhe was immediately excited, but he did not immediately order the search.
"Section Chief, we have a gun in our hands, what are we afraid of? Go and check the identity of that person directly to see if he is Zeng Hao?" said one person in confusion.
"You kid, you are not smart enough. Do you know that you can't alarm the snake in this way? The above order is to not only ask us to catch Zeng Hao, but also follow the clues and find out his behind-the-scenes instruction. Now we rush in and catch him, then we can't catch him from the line." Ma Changhe said with a smile and pointed at the man's nose.
"The section chief is wise." The man nodded quickly and flattered him.
Soon, Ma Changhe found out the appearance of the person inside. Although Zeng Hao made some disguises, his basic appearance did not change. A big black mole on his right face also exposed his identity, and his sneaky whereabouts were very abnormal.
Ma Changhe immediately reported the latest progress to He Yun. He Yun immediately increased his personnel and came here to monitor Zeng Hao. He wanted to wait for him to come out to contact the online person and catch the online person together.
The people from the Security Bureau then put on makeup and became local farmers and civilians, closely monitoring Zeng Hao's actions for 24 hours nearby. However, Zeng Hao had never been to other places except for buying some food every few days and went back. He seemed very cautious and did not dare to go to the far away outside at will.
Time flies two months later, and the surveillance personnel have changed several groups. Zeng Hao is still the same, his life is very regular, and he has never rode a motorcycle out.
After waiting anxiously for three months, the storm outside gradually subsided. The Security Bureau had previously deliberately announced that Zeng Hao might have fled Shanghai. Then there were no guard soldiers or investigation teams in Shanghai to patrol everywhere. Everything seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, and no one discussed Zeng Hao's affairs on the streets and alleys.
Perhaps the silence of the wind made Zeng Hao feel that the time had come. He knew that he could no longer stay in the country at this time, and arresting him would definitely be a dead end. The only way was to find Lu Xiaojun, because Lu Xiaojun had promised him that once the matter was exposed, he would send Zeng Hao to Japan to avoid the limelight.
Zeng Hao went out carefully for a few times, but he returned every time, and did not seem to have done anything to contact Lu Xiaojun. He did not encounter any trouble these days. Zeng Hao seemed to feel that the limelight had completely passed and he became much safer. So one day, he finally boldly found another residence in Lu Xiaojun in southern Shanghai, which was also in a mixed civilian area. This kind of place was very messy, which made it very difficult for people who investigated the case. It was a good hiding den.
But after Zeng Hao arrived there, he found that Lu Xiaojun was not there. He seemed to have not been here for a long time. He thought to himself if it was because of this incident that Lu Xiaojun did not dare to come here again, so Zeng Hao left a note in the room, hoping that Lu Xiaojun would see him later.
After Zeng Hao returned, the security bureau immediately entered the room and found the note that Zeng Hao left to contact Lu Xiaojun, which read: I have what you want in my hand.
People from the Security Bureau speculated that Zeng Hao must have brought radar technical information and several other technical documents on it, hoping that his online personnel would meet him in terms of the information, otherwise the online people would not take the risk to see him.
Then Zeng Hao went to this house to see if Lu Xiaojun had been here and left a note, but he left disappointed. After waiting patiently for more than a month, the mysterious online launch finally appeared. The person who came was Lu Xiaojun, who looked harmless and gentle, entered the house and immediately found the note. The handwriting on it was obviously left by Zeng Hao. He immediately understood that Zeng Hao had not been caught yet, and that he had other information.
Lu Xiaojun immediately reported the situation to Fujita and Inoue. Inoue ordered Lu Xiaojun to find an opportunity to contact Zeng Hao and obtain the information he had. Lu Xiaojun returned to his house and left a note that said: On May 3rd, No. 15, Huayuan Street, Nanshi, someone is waiting for you to play chess.
At this time, Lu Xiaojun was also stared at by the people from the Security Bureau. Then he followed the clues and Inoue's residence was also stared at. They could have arrested immediately, but the people from the Security Bureau saw that there was another person on the note and felt that there might be another person involved in the case, so they wanted to wait for Zeng Hao to contact this person and catch this person together. One more person and a clue, and the final big fish may not be among these people.
Inoue's identity was quickly investigated. His identity was actually a Chinese citizen. There was a Chinese name named Wang Dazhuang. For a while, investigators had not found out that he was a Japanese. It is estimated that this person had also put a lot of effort in obtaining this Chinese citizenship.
After Zeng Hao returned to the house again, he was surprised to receive a reply from Lu Xiaojun. He was overjoyed and immediately prepared to bring information to contact them according to the time and place above, and prepared to use the information to make a deal with Lu Xiaojun and let him help him escape to Japan. He still had a mind about Lu Xiaojun and did not dare to believe this person easily.
It was soon May 3, 1913. The weather was a bit stuffy and the sun was shining brightly. The scorching sun didn't set the horizon until six or seven o'clock in the afternoon. Ordinary people were roaming with palm-shaped fans and wandering around. On both sides of the street were residential areas, and people came and went very frequently. There was a low wall on the middle of the road. There was a group of people surrounded by people. Five or six chess pieces were placed on the ground. People were gathering together, playing chess in groups of three or three to help them.
In the middle, an old man was wearing a straw hat. He was not very good at looking and was thin. The old man was sitting on a short stool with a chess endgame on the ground. Several people squatted beside him and watched the chess game. Some people shook their heads and walked away. Then someone came to take a look.
"This game is too difficult to solve, it cannot be solved, it cannot be solved." A middle-aged man looked at it for a while, thinking about the solution to the chess game, thinking that his side could not win at all, so he left.
Ma Changhe and his men had arrived here long ago. Some people followed Zeng Hao, Lu Xiaojun and Inoue respectively, but they found that Lu Xiaojun and Inoue were both staying at home today. They didn't go out. Only Zeng Hao brought a package out. He dressed up as a down-and-out worker from another place, wearing ordinary and worn clothes, his beard was twitching, and deliberately made people unable to recognize him.
"Old Ma, there are five or six old men over there. Can you tell who is not there?" A team member stared at the place where he played chess and did not find any suspicious people. It seemed that everyone was just studying the chess game seriously.
"You don't understand this. The old man mentioned by the other party may be just a code name. Maybe he is just a young man. Just stare at him. These people seem to have been playing chess here for several days, and there is no new one." Ma Changhe immediately curled his lips.
"The section chief is wise."
"Section Chief, we just received the news that Zeng Hao has arrived and is walking towards this side. It seems that the person coming should have arrived." A team member ran over to report to Ma Changhe.
"Prepare to act as planned." Ma Changhe suddenly looked shaking and immediately gave an order.
Zeng Hao, wearing a dress of a ragged migrant worker, walked over with a package on his back and looked around, found the place to play chess, and then carefully looked at the group of people squatting on the ground, looking for the old man who was in contact with him. Soon he found that a chess board was a little different from other chess boards. There was a square stone pressing on one corner of the chess board. This was their commonly used joint mark, and it was the position in front of the old man wearing a straw hat...
