"Yao Nan, female, 52 years old, from Chuncheng City, Yunshan Province..."

While Liu Linlin quickly moved the mouse to search for the information that Yao Nan could find on the Internet, she loudly reported the latest investigation to Xu Zheng and others.

In the Internet age, as long as the police have a person’s basic information, they can quickly find out a lot of information, such as Yao Nan’s mobile phone number, bank card, WeChat, Douyin, etc.

"This is Yao Nan's Douyin account. I have been using it. You can take a look at it first."

Xu Zheng curiously took out his mobile phone and opened Yao Nan's Douyin. She had indeed been using it all the time, including today, and she had posted two videos.

The content is food sharing and shopping with girlfriends.

Scrolling further down, Yao Nan’s Tik Tok videos are basically in line with her age, either beautiful scenery or delicious food, or they are all about her children.

There are also selfie videos of herself.

With the help of beautification and photo retouching, she looks like 52 at the age of 25. The years have enhanced her temperament, making her look like an elegant lady.

However, after looking through her more than 300 videos, there is not a single photo of her husband.

Liu Linlin, who was investigating Yao Nan's information, suddenly stopped and said, "Xu Zheng, come and take a look. I was just about to investigate Yao Nan's husband.

But... I don’t have permission!”

Liu Linlin is now also a section-level official. The fact that she does not have enough authority shows that the person being investigated is someone within the system.

He has to be at least two levels higher than her.

If it was someone in the system, Xu Zheng's level was not enough. Sure enough, after he tried, he still did not have the authority to access the other party's information.

"What job does Yao Nan do now?"

Liu Linlin glanced at the computer screen and said, "She is now retired. She was working as an employee of the Municipal Water Company, part of the corporate establishment.

Since we were able to find a case like hers, it should be that her husband is most likely a deputy department-level official.

And already retired.

Nor is he a person in an important confidential position..."

"Forget it, don't check who her husband is yet." Xu Zheng stopped her from continuing to check, "Find the frontal photos of her children, and let me take a look."

Yao Nan's children are somewhat similar to her, which means that she probably has not had any plastic surgery as shown online. Even if she did, it was only minor cosmetic surgery.

Xu Zheng looked at Yao Nan's other information again. It was very detailed, but not very helpful for the case. After all, whether she had close contact with Xiong Kaishan or not was a question that she herself had to answer.

When Xu Zheng walked back to the interrogation room, he showed the photo of Yao Nan to Xiong Kaishan, "Take a closer look. Is this the woman that Lu Mingzhou introduced to you?"

"That's her!" Xiong Kaishan pointed to the spot below Yao Nan's ear, on one side of her neck in the photo, "You can see she has a mole here, just like I remember.

Wow, more than 20 years have passed, and she is still so beautiful. It's true that women with a lot of fluids stay fresh longer.

Officer Xu, let me tell you, although this woman looks dignified, she is actually very good in bed."

“Ahem…” Zhang Kaiwen slapped the table to interrupt Xiong Kaishan, “I warn you again, don’t talk nonsense about things that are not related to this case.”

"Okay, I'll answer the questions you ask me, okay?" Xiong Kaishan had figured it out by now. As long as he cooperated, and considering that he had participated in child trafficking back then, the police might not be able to produce substantial evidence.

If he goes to court, his sentence probably won't be longer than last time, so there's still a chance he can get out.

At this time, Xu Zheng had no intention of paying attention to the conversation between Xiong Kaishan and Zhang Kaiwen. He made a decision in an instant after thinking for a moment.

Fly back to Spring City overnight.

And I have to go back secretly.

He did what he said. He suspended the interrogation, called Zhang Kaiwen and Zhu Qing outside, and gathered Tao Luna and Qiao Zhenjun together.

"I'm going to take the last flight back to Spring City at around 9pm. I'll leave the subsequent interrogation and investigation work here to you."

"Are you going back alone?" Qiao Zhenjun didn't expect Xu Zheng to suddenly make such a decision. Everyone had just made some progress in the Magic City, so they should press on and dig out Xiong Kaishan's memory.

Maybe we can find some useful clues.

Xu Zheng was worried that the organization behind Lu Mingzhou had someone undercover in the police system. That person might be in a high position now, or he might have already retired.

But no matter what, Xu Zheng felt that he should go back to Chuncheng first. Unfortunately, he is now the head of the task force and can no longer hide in the dark and conduct investigations secretly.

"I'm going back alone. Zhuqing, please start booking a ticket for me now." Xu Zheng thought that booking a plane ticket would expose his whereabouts, but he couldn't not book it either, as it would take too long to drive back by himself.

Is there any direct high-speed train at night?

Fortunately, I hope that those who are concerned about his whereabouts don't have anyone like him in the civil aviation system.

Qiao Zhenjun looked at Tao Luna and Zhu Qing and asked, "After you leave, shall the three of us continue to work according to the established plan?"

Xu Zheng understood his subtext, “The three of you, with you as the team leader, interrogate Xiong Kaishan, his cohabiting woman, and his son’s ex-wife in detail.

Let's corroborate each other to find out whether the mother and daughter knew Xiong Kaishan's identity and whether they were involved in criminal activities...

Regarding Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Anping, mother and son, comrades in Shanghai are requested to send someone to keep a close eye on them, especially their child, and ensure his or her safety.

... "

Xu Zheng made detailed arrangements, then turned to Zhang Kaiwen and told him something, and asked him to tell Director Xu and Team Yang on his behalf, "I will go directly from the detention center to the airport, and I will not return to your city bureau."

After arranging things in Shanghai, he left the detention center without further ado and headed for the airport alone.

On the way, he first contacted Li Hui and Liu Bin to ask whether the bait operation had any results, but unfortunately the answer he got was still no progress.

Xu Zheng had no way to deal with this.

After hanging up the phone with the two of them, he contacted Qian Yiwei again and reported the results of today's interrogation and investigation.

But he confessed to Qian Yiwei that he was rushing to the airport.

"You came back alone, is it safe?" When Qian Yiwei heard that Xu Zheng came back alone on the late flight, his first reaction was to ask him to pay attention to safety, "Haha, look at me, you are so good at fighting, you must be safe.

But Xiao Xu, you should pay more attention to safety at night in the future.

After all, it is easy to dodge an open attack, but it is hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."

Xu Zheng quickly thanked his leader for his concern, and then stated the purpose of his call, "Director Qian, you see we can't find out the identity of Yao Nan's husband.

I'm sorry to bother you."

"I'll take care of this," Qian Yiwei agreed immediately, "After you get off the plane, will you go back to the Yunshan Provincial Department, or go find Li Hui and others?"

"I'll go to the scene and see if there's any problem. I'll see if I can help." Xu Zheng calculated the time. The plane was at 9 o'clock and arrived in Chuncheng at around 1 o'clock in the morning. By the time he got to Li Hui and the others, it would probably be around 2 o'clock in the morning.

"Director Qian, if you come up with the results before I get off the plane, just send them to my phone. You can go to bed early."

"No need!" Qian Yiwei laughed on the other end of the phone. "I'm not an old comrade yet. It's just working overtime. It's a small matter."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zheng also arrived at the airport. After checking his ticket, he waited for takeoff.

He took the opportunity to rest for a while, and even after getting on the plane, he asked the flight attendant for a blanket to continue sleeping.

At 2:30 in the morning, Xu Zheng rushed to another building opposite Qiao Zhenjun's bedroom. Li Hui and Liu Bin, along with a team of task force members, were taking turns guarding an infrared monitor.

Seeing Xu Zheng coming back, several people quickly stood up to give him their seats and reported the current situation.

“Today, the entire Chuncheng underground organization should know that Qiao Lanqing is the Qinglan from Thailand.

There is also the place where Guo Yiming is detained.

But the news spread, and we didn't find anyone trying to take action against Qiao Lanqing and Guo Yiming.

Is the time too short? How about we hold on for a few more days?"

Using Qiao Lanqing as bait cannot be hidden from the human trafficking gangs. Anyone with a brain can figure it out.

Xu Zheng also knew that he couldn't hide it, but he was betting that those people would take the risk. However, he didn't expect that he overestimated them.

A day passed and there was no movement in the entire Spring City.

According to reports from Chuncheng police’s informants in the underground world, no suspicious persons were found entering Chuncheng.

Li Hui and others now believe that the news has been spread too quickly and they need to wait a few days to see the situation. However, Xu Zheng thinks that this is unnecessary because the longer the time is, the less likely the other party will take risky action.

However, Xu Zheng did not stop it, because he had other ideas in his mind, but the idea was still vague, and he planned to seize the time to do other things first.

At 3:30 in the morning, he drove alone to the community where Yao Nan lived. Qian Yiwei had just sent him the information he had investigated.

Yao Nan’s husband is indeed a member of the system, but he has already retired from the position of deputy director of the Xishan Provincial Department.

After retirement, he returned to Chuncheng, Yunshan Province, because he was originally from here. About ten years ago, he was transferred from here to Xishan Province.

Judging from his resume, around 2015, he was the captain of the Image Investigation Brigade of the Chuncheng Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The position of captain of the image detection detachment seems to be a management position for technical police, but it is actually a very important department in the police force.

Putting aside other things, the Image Reconnaissance Brigade is responsible for monitoring the entire city’s Sky Eye system!
If Chuncheng's every move is under the surveillance of the Sky Eye system, then it can also be said that the Image Reconnaissance Detachment can monitor any place in Chuncheng where there are cameras at any time and anywhere.

Today, cameras in Spring City cover almost the entire city, but more than 20 years ago, when the Sky Eye system was just starting out, there were probably no cameras in many places.

Moreover, at that time, the Sky Eye system did not play a large role in the police's investigation process.

Xu Zheng was a little curious. Could it be that this former captain of the Image Detective Division was the protector of Lu Mingzhou's gang back then?

It seems unlikely, because the captain of the image investigation detachment is a technical position, at the deputy division level, which is not enough to cover up the crimes of the human trafficking gang.

Then there are two possibilities. One is that they help the human trafficking gangs to pass information secretly, and the other is that they are not involved in any illegal activities at all.

Xu Zheng didn't know which possibility it was. He was sitting in the car, carefully studying two photos. One was a simulated portrait of Yao Nan that he made based on Xiong Kaishan's memories.

One is a photo of Yao Nan taken more than 20 years ago.

The more he compared, the more he felt that what Xiong Kaishan said might be true.

Before, he suspected that this Yao Nan was a woman Lu Mingzhou randomly found, disguised as Yao Nan to accompany Xiong Kaishan.

But now Xu Zheng was looking at the two photos and found that their eyes were so similar. Mainly because Xiong Kaishan recalled Yao Nan's features and said that her eyes were like watery spring water.

A person's appearance can be faked, but it is difficult to hide the look in his eyes from people who are familiar with him.

According to Xiong Kaishan, Yao Nan and he met basically twice a month for a year, and sometimes Yao Nan even stayed overnight at his house.

In this case, Xiong Kaishan must be very familiar with her. Unfortunately, they were just friends with benefits back then and were not serious about it at all, so the only memory of their time together was the scene of gunfire.

Yao Nan never told Xiong Kaishan her name and family.

Xu Zheng took out photos of Yao Nan’s children. Judging from the time, her eldest daughter is 22 years old this year, and was born exactly one year after she and Xiong Kaishan separated.

It is said that daughters look like their fathers. Yao Nan’s eldest daughter really looks a bit like Xiong Kaishan before he had plastic surgery.

Especially the nose and mouth, they are almost exactly the same.

In addition to their appearance, the reason that makes Xu Zheng think they are father and daughter is their height. The height of children mainly comes from genetics.

It is said that if the mother is short, her children will be short too. However, if the father is tall, there is a chance that his children will be tall too.

Legally, Yao Nan has only one husband, who is less than 1.7 meters tall. She herself is even shorter, about 1.6 meters tall, while Xiong Kaishan is over 1.8 meters tall.

Her eldest daughter is nearly 1.7 meters tall. Even though she took height-increasing drugs during her growth period, genes are the main factor that determines her height.

Unfortunately, due to the identity of Yao Nan’s husband, Xu Zheng and others could not secretly do a DNA comparison.

Xu Zheng thought secretly, it seems that if he wants to know the truth, he still has to start with Yao Nan.

However, Xu Zheng did not take any action the next day. He waited until the third day, when Qiao Zhenjun and others escorted Xiong Kaishan back to Chuncheng, before he prepared to go and invite Yao Nan in person.

In March, the flowers in Spring City are in full bloom. Every step you take brings a new scene, and the whole city seems to be filled with the fragrance of flowers.

In Taiping Lake Forest Park, tulips are in full bloom, and it seems that people from the entire Spring City have come out of their homes and come here.

Based on the positioning, Xu Zheng, with only Tao Luna, quickly spotted Yao Nan in the crowd like a tourist.

She wore a black long skirt, a beige short coat, and long wavy hair, which made this petite woman even more charming.

She didn't come alone. There were two women with her. They seemed to be her best friends. The three of them were chatting and laughing and taking pictures of each other. It was a really happy retirement life.

Unfortunately, Xu Zheng was not here to enjoy the flowers. When they walked to a less crowded place, Yao Nan came out of the toilet alone. He and Tao Luna immediately stopped her and explained their purpose.

Please ask her task force to cooperate with the police in the investigation.

"Can I call my husband?" After all, Yao Nan is a police officer's family member and is familiar with the police's case handling procedures.

Generally, if you are not a suspect identified by the police but are just cooperating with the police, you can contact your family or a lawyer.

Xu Zheng did not stop her and let her make the call. Yao Nan walked aside and finished the call with her husband calmly, then walked back, calm and composed, "I don't have any other questions. Please go ahead. I will go back to the special case team with you and cooperate with you in your work." (End of this chapter)
