Cicada Moving

Chapter 136 Ding Shaolan

“I really don’t know him. There are so many people coming and going in the nunnery, and there are so many unfamiliar faces. They are here to do that kind of thing, so we won’t ask any more questions.” The nunnery owner replied with runny noses and tears.

Zuo Zhong is not disappointed. If the other party is a Japanese spy, he will definitely hide his identity, but her relationship with Jin Injiu deserves attention.

He said in a cold tone: "Tell me when they first came here, and the number and frequency of their usual dates. You always know these things."

“The man surnamed Jin and this woman came here last year, and they come here for private meetings every four or five days. They have not been here since the end of last year.

At the beginning of last month, the two of them came again. They stayed sneakily for less than half an hour and then left. Who knew there was something wrong with them? It was so unfair. "

The master of the nunnery kept talking, and secretly glanced at Zuo Zhong with his small eyes, cursing secretly in his heart. He didn't know which **** the surnamed Jin had offended, or what big thing he had done to attract these murderous stars.

Zuo Zhong glared at her: "What is the date? Why do you say they are sneaky?"

The master of the nunnery racked his brains to recall for a long time: "It must have been on the 3rd. I remember that the weather was very cold that day. In the past, they would have to stay for a long time when they came, and they had to have the nuns to clean up. But this time they only stayed for half an hour and left the door outside. Drive away those who are waiting."

Zuo Zhong took out a pile of photos from his arms and picked out the women among them: "Look at these photos. Are there any women who are dating Jin Renjiu?"

The nunnery owner quickly took it and looked at the sun. After a while, he picked out one and hesitated: "It seems to be this person, but she wears a hat every time she comes here. The profile is somewhat similar."

Zuo Zhong took the photo back and looked at the gorgeous woman in the photo. The expression on his face became more serious because this woman had a complicated background.

Ding Shaolan, female, 22 years old, is a native of Jiaxing. Her parents died young. She studied at a school in the Shanghai Concession, so she met Jin Renjiu. Her address is Xiaobailou, No. 16 Dongmen Street, Jiaxing.

After the incident, the police station approached her. Several celebrities testified that she did not go out that day. In addition, peripheral investigations showed that the relationship between the two was not close, so she was ruled out as a suspect in the case.

If the identification result of the nunnery owner is correct, this will overturn the previous investigation results. Jin Renjiu and Ding Shaolan are not only familiar with each other, but also secret lovers.

If they were in contact on the 3rd, how did Ding Shaolan become a Japanese spy? Does Jin Renjiu's arrest and rebellion have anything to do with her?

Furthermore, one of the celebrities who testified for her was Ding Shaolan’s godfather, and he had a very familiar occupation—a Cao Gang boss. For what reason did he risk perjury?

From Fan Xiong of the Jinling Cao Gang to the big bosses of the Jiaxing Cao Gang, there are always spies or suspected spies operating around these gangsters. This is not a coincidence, there is a certain inevitability in it.

The Cao Gang has a long history, is deeply intertwined, has a wide distribution area, and has great social potential. It has carried out many struggles against the Qing government and against foreign religions. It has great strength and influence. No intelligence agency will ignore this force, so the Japanese It is logical to be keen to take advantage of these people.

But there are some differences between Zhejiang Caobang and Jinling Caobang, that is, they have stronger economic strength and have fixed business partners.

For example, in the Ningbo Business Gang in Zuo Zhong's hometown, those big businessmen supported a group of gangsters who danced with guns and sticks, and also had a relationship with the Caogang in Shanghai. These people were not so much Caogang as they were recruited by the business group. A captive professional thug.

 In Zuo Zhong's memory, the Zuo family also had a few tough guards. When they were young, they were responsible for the safety of the younger brothers and sisters when they went out to play. Whether they were ruffians or the police station, they had to give them some face.

These people are still in the Zuo family and have been protecting people and property for more than ten years. There is a long-term cooperative relationship between Zhejiang Caobang and the employer.

If the Japanese break into the Zhejiang Caogang, they can slowly infiltrate into the Zhejiang businessmen group through this relationship, which will cause even greater harm.

There was silence in the Songzi Temple. The feet of the nuns and guests were numb. After a long time, Zuo regained consciousness.

He waved Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang to him: "Follow me to Dongmen Street to arrest Ding Shaolan. Be careful that this woman may have received professional military training. Don't capsize the boat in the gutter."

 Regardless of whether Jin Renjiu's death has anything to do with Ding Shaolan, this woman has been alarmed, but Zuo Zhong believes that she will not evacuate. The relationship between the other party and the Cao Gang deserves in-depth investigation.

Zuo Zhong called Gu Qi over again: "Lao Gu, take all the people who sent Zi'an back to the officers' club and tell the brothers on guard to serve snacks. No touching is allowed, otherwise military law will be dealt with!"

Gu Qi stood at attention: "Yes, section chief, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of them."

Yu Xingle watched with hot eyes and volunteered: "Chief Zuo, I will take someone to go with you. After all, you are not familiar with Jiaxing. I will just send someone to the police station to identify the body as a witness."

East China District did not gain anything after taking over the case. The Intelligence Division found out part of the case within a few days. It was really difficult for Yu Xingle to explain to Dai Chunfeng, so he could only take some credit for the arrest.

Zuo Zhong looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Since District Chief Yu is so enthusiastic, then it's been hard work."

Yu Xingle was overjoyed: "Thank you, Chief Zuo. Please rest assured, Chief Zuo, I will definitely obey the command."

"You're welcome, brother, who is that Caogang boss? Have you ever come into contact with him in East China? Let's go to Dongmen Street first, and let's talk while walking." Zuo Zhong walked out.

Yu Xingle followed up: "The man's name is Lu Wenbao. He was born into a poor boy. Four of his family of five starved to death. After wandering in the north for a while, he met a nobleman by chance. After returning to Jiaxing, he became a member of the Cao Gang within a few years. Boss." Zuo Zhong opened the door and got into the car and asked, "Why is this noble person so powerful?"

Yu Xingle followed him into the car: "A big-name person from the Northern Cao Gang is dead. Lu Wenbao goes to his house to pay homage every year. Many people think he is loyal and repays his kindness."

Why was the Northern Cao Gang involved again? Thinking about the complicated situation in the North, Zuo Zhong had a headache and asked in detail: "Where is the big guy, people here in Shanghai give him such face, a foreign gangster is opening incense in Jiaxing It’s no small thing.”

"Zhang Dake from the Jinmen Cao Gang has a wide network of contacts. Several big guys in Shanghai have received favors from him. Besides, Jiaxing is only a small place, so they agreed. In addition, Lu Wenbao, this guy, will come to do something. Such filial piety is constant, but the hands that hold others are short." Yu Xingle explained the inside story.

Zhang Dake of the Cao Gang, the rebellion of the Koryo Restoration Organization, and Lu Wenbao are all related to Jinmen. Is this a coincidence? Zuo Zhong believes that the key to solving all the mysteries lies in Ding Shaolan.

 “Drive faster.” Zuo Zhong urged.

The convoy speeded up and drove towards Dongmen Street. The agents checked their weapons. Yu Xingle was a little jealous when he saw the equipment of the Intelligence Section. The people in the headquarters were all using PPK and Thomson, and their local district station was still using bulky automatic weapons. Come on.

Not to mention flash bombs, a sharp weapon for arresting people. Dai Chunfeng took this thing very seriously, for fear of being copied by outsiders. After all, this thing was not a high-tech thing, it was just a matter of thinking.

Even the use of Zuozhong requires cumbersome procedures. A detailed report must be written on the use of each coin. As for the local district stations, let’s take a look. At least in the past few years, it cannot be distributed downwards.

The motorcade slowed down as it drove on, because there were more pedestrians and vehicles. Dongmen Street is a densely populated area in Jiaxing, with huge houses and gardens, and row upon row of shops.

There is also the Huojiaxing Station not far away, which makes the nearby streets even more crowded. Seeing this situation, Zuo Zhong asked the driver to stop: "Get off the car and walk there. With so many cars passing by, we are too conspicuous."

The agents got off the car and automatically divided into groups to blend into the crowd. Zuo Zhong led He Yijun and Yu Xingle to walk slowly along the street, scanning the house numbers on the roadside, looking for No. 16.

There was actually no need to look at the house number. Not far after walking, an exquisite two-story white building appeared in front of the three of them. Its luxurious French style made it particularly eye-catching among Chinese-style buildings.

Yu Xingle winked at Zuo Zhong, indicating whether he wanted to take action immediately. Zuo Zhong shook his head slightly to signal for peace of mind, then walked to a stall and greeted the boss.

 “Boss, get three gordon cakes.”

 “Okay, guest, please wait a moment.”

The stall owner manipulated the tools quickly, wrapped the hot Gorgon Rice Cake in kraft paper, and handed it to Zuo Zhong and the others diligently: "Guests, please eat slowly, it will be hot now."

Zuo Zhong took a bite carefully and gave a thumbs up: "Thank you boss, your Gorgon Rice Cake is delicious and your craftsmanship is good. You have been working for a long time, you usually set up a stall here?"

The boss looked slightly satisfied: "I have been working here for more than ten years, and it is quite famous in Dongmen Street. Many foreign guests will never forget it after eating it once. I heard that your husband's accent is not from Ningbo, but from Ningbo."

Zuo Zhong laughed loudly: "The boss has really good ears. I am indeed from Ningbo. I came to Jiaxing to discuss business this time. After reading it, I realized that Jiaxing is very fashionable. There are no Western-style buildings like this in Ningbo."

The boss looked at the direction Zuo Zhong pointed with a strange look on his face, then closed his mouth and stopped talking, lowered his head and started working on the stove.

Zuo Zhong pretended to be unhappy: "Boss, what's going on? I'm half-sentence. Did we say something wrong?"

The boss hesitated for a moment and carefully revealed: "The goddaughter of our Jiaxing Cao Gang boss lives here. You outsiders should not cause trouble. If the gangsters inside hear it, they will inevitably get beaten."

Zuo Zhong was overjoyed. Ding Shaolan had indeed not left. There were still gangsters inside. It seemed that they were people sent by Lu Wenbao to protect Ding Shaolan. He wanted to find a way to figure out what was going on inside.

At this time, He Yijun cooperated very tacitly: "Thank you boss, we are just passing by and won't cause you any trouble. There are a lot of gangsters inside. Do they still dare to take guns?"

The boss said angrily: "We don't have guns, but there are always a dozen gangsters. When the Cao Gang guy comes, there will be more people. They are so numerous that we little guys can't afford to offend them."

Zuo Zhong didn't speak anymore. He finished the Gorgon Rice Cake in several bites, threw the brown paper aside, and gestured to the other side of the road. Wu Chunyang, who had been prepared for a long time, came over.

Wu Chunyang walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "Do it now?"

Zuo Zhong turned around and looked at Xiaobailou: "The night is long and there are many dreams. The news about sending Zi'an to the nunnery has been reported. This woman may run away. There are a few unarmed gangsters inside. Let brothers watch the entrance and exit."

Wu Chunyang quietly walked into the crowd to deliver the order, and the hidden agents faintly surrounded the small white building. The pedestrians walking on the street did not notice it at all.

Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang walked up to Zuo Zhong with more than 20 elites. Zuo Zhong said to Yu Xingle: "District Chief Yu, let's go meet this mysterious Miss Ding."
