Cicada Moving

  Chapter 371 What’s wrong?

The disheveled Zhuang Meiyun shivered when she heard this: "I, I just went to the toilet. When I came out, I went to decorate the venue. My colleagues and superiors saw it. I don't know those assassins."

Among the three suspects, she had the biggest reaction, which may be due to timidity or disguise. Her wet hair stuck to her face randomly, and her pale face looked very embarrassed.

"Mr. Yue, is what Miss Zhuang said true? I have to remind you that if there is no problem with the three of them, then everything I said before will be invalid, such as the reward."

Zuo Zhong tilted his head and motioned to Yue Dawu to talk about the situation at that time. Now that things have happened, he is not afraid that the other party will know that he is going to burn bridges, because now it has changed from a seller's market to a buyer's market.

 It’s not him who should be anxious.

Yue Dawu grimaced and thought for a while before saying: "Miss Zhuang took a long time to go in, almost five or six minutes. There were many people coming in at that time, so I didn't pay attention to her movements."

When he said this, Zuo Zhong suddenly noticed that Zhuang Meiyun's head tilted slightly in the direction of Yue Dawu, which showed that she was very interested in or valued what Yue Dawu said.

This was different from the reactions of the other two people. When Luo Ailing and Min Ping heard Yue Dawu's story, they directly turned their heads and focused on each other, and even looked directly into Yue Dawu's eyes.

This shows that they are very angry about being peeped, and at the same time want to know whether they have been seen. They are at the moral high ground, so not hiding their emotions is a very normal behavior.

 As for this Zhuang Meiyun.

Zuo Zhong chuckled: "This is too bad, Mr. Yue, what you said has no value. We can't give you a bonus just because you peeped in the women's restroom."

He didn't believe that Yue Dawu didn't see anything. Maybe the other person's focus was not on this at the time, but as long as he put some appropriate pressure, he felt that this guy could think about it.

“Sir, don’t be impatient, don’t be impatient, let me think about it again.”

Yue Dawu's face flushed anxiously, and he rubbed his hands nervously. Under everyone's gaze, he recalled the scene over and over again, trying to find some forgotten details from the depths of his memory.

Zuo Zhong crossed his legs leisurely and observed Luo Ailing and the others calmly. Interrogation is like fighting a beast. You lure and force the beast into a corner, and then it will be at your mercy or killed.

Luo Ailing gritted her teeth and looked at Yue Dawu with fierce eyes. She clenched her hands and felt that she would rush up and punch him in the next second. After all, she was a hero among women who had experienced a period of great separation.

 Zhuang Meiyun and Min Ping's reaction was relatively small. Maybe they didn't dare to be too presumptuous in the Secret Service. After all, only a few people knew the former president's wife, but their faces were not good-looking either.

 Among them, Min Ping had tears in her eyes, and she was holding on to her clothes and feeling restless. Judging from her family background, she was a pampered young lady who had never experienced any suffering in the world.

 All the things that happened today made her feel a little at a loss. Fear, fear, anger, and shyness were all affecting her thinking, and now her performance was completely consistent with this.

The only emotion Zhuang Meiyun showed was fear. She didn't seem to care about being peeped at. At least peeping was ranked second to fear. Why was she afraid because her face was splattered with blood?

Zuo Zhong touched his chin and listed Zhuang Meiyun as a key suspect. He didn't feel very good about him. Not only that, there were also some things about him that were very interesting and worthy of investigation.

"I remembered."

Yue Dawu hesitated and said: "The only thing that's a little strange is that Miss Luo and Miss Zhuang brought Kun bags. Their offices and rest rooms are nearby. In the past, they rarely brought bags with them when going to the toilet."

Hearing these words, Luo Ailing gasped with anger: "You know nothing about women's affairs. I have been exposed to geranium in the past two days. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I will tear you off."

 Cough.

The atmosphere at this time was still very conservative. I didn't expect this woman to be so fierce and talk about this kind of thing directly in public. This made the other two women a little shy and lowered their heads.

"Hey, why are you two so embarrassed? I don't believe that Yue Dawu's mother doesn't have Tiankui." Luo Ailing stretched out her hand, pointed at Yue Dawu and cursed: "Shameless bitch."

"alright."

Zuo Zhong, with a dark face, stopped Luo Ailing who was about to act up. This woman was just a silly elder sister. With her strong background, she was not afraid of the Secret Service at all. She only wanted to cause trouble for Yue Dawu.

Then could she be an inside agent? This possibility is unlikely. First, her identity background is very clear, at least clearer than the other two. Second, her position makes it difficult to access top-secret intelligence.

If the insider is a member of the Nandou team, how did Luo Ailing obtain the information about Minister He? She lacks an effective way to obtain information, so she cannot ask around about it.

In this way, it seems that among the three, only Zhuang Meiyun meets the requirements. She is responsible for the supplies at the venue. Is it possible that she overheard the news inadvertently.

He sat up straight and looked at Zhuang Meiyun: "Miss Zhuang, Miss Luo brought the bag because she was feeling unwell. What about you? Is it the same reason? It seems that you two are going to undergo a physical examination. Don't worry, we have women in the Secret Service. Staff member, Chunyang, call and ask He Yijun to bring someone to the detention center. Let’s avoid it first and continue questioning after the inspection is over. Let’s go.”

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he stood up and made a gesture of walking out. This made Zhuang Meiyun, who was wiping tears at the side, a little confused. He hadn't answered the question yet, why was this smiling agent so anxious.

She quickly shouted: "No, I brought my bag because I smoke. Smoking is prohibited in the auditorium. I go to the toilet to take two puffs every day. You took my bag away, and the cigarettes and matches were inside."

I am just an ordinary clerk. Anyone can order me. I didn’t say anything just now because I was afraid that the superiors would find out and lose my job. I swear to God that everything I said is true. "

Hearing this, Zuo Zhong turned around and sat back on the chair. He smiled and shook his head: "Miss Zhuang, please continue. I know your secret is not limited to this one thing. There is no point in hiding it like this."

"there is none left."

Zhuang Meiyun lowered her head and hid her face from everyone's sight. Now even a fool knew that there was something wrong with her. This was a standard thief with a guilty conscience. He didn't know what she was hiding.

Luo Ailing and Min Ping looked at her in surprise, saying they really didn't realize it. Although the three of them had different jobs and divisions of labor, they all worked in the auditorium. They usually looked down without looking up, so they were familiar with each other.

 In their impression, Zhuang Meiyun is a very honest girl, beautiful and stylishly dressed. Many young talents are pursuing her, and she can do any bad things.

"hehe."

Zuo Zhong’s eyebrows moved: “Please explain to Miss Zhuang how you got this custom-made high-end dress. Such a dress costs at least ten dollars including fabric and labor.

 But as far as I know, the salary of low-level staff in the National Government should not be high. Ten yuan is not a fraction. Where did you get the money? Of course, you can say it was given by others or bought by yourself.

But once what you say is inconsistent with our investigation, your family in Jin Province will suffer. You are still very young, so don’t be afraid of taking the wrong path, as long as you can correct it in time. "

Zuo Zhong seemed to be kind-hearted and said that he felt something was not right when the three of them came in. It was not until the three of them sat together that he discovered the reason, which was their clothes.

Among the three of them, Luo Ailing and Min Ping are in a good financial situation. Their clothes are all high-end goods, which is not surprising, but it is very strange for a clerk to wear such high-end clothes.

 “Oh, it’s true.”

Luo Ailing's eyes widened and she looked at Zhuang Meiyun's clothes carefully: "This is made by He Changhao, a time-honored brand in Shanghai. The stitching is so dense that it costs only ten yuan to buy, so it costs at least fifteen yuan."

Zuo Chong smiled. The clothes were indeed made in Shanghai. As for why he knew, it was because Western-style clothing stores were a traditional business that had been run by Ningbo business gangs for a long time, and the Zuo family also had several shops.

As for such high-end suits, except for the time-honored brands in the Shanghai Concession, there is no other place where you can make such high-end suits. Even if Jinling is the capital of the Republic of China, it is far behind Shanghai in this regard.

 Isn’t it strange that a small clerk, according to Zhuang Meiyun, a small clerk who can be ordered by anyone, made a special trip to the Shanghai Concession to order a set of clothes?

"Why don't you say anything, Miss Zhuang? Apart from the clothes, the shoes you are wearing are not cheap. They sound like they have genuine leather soles. Please satisfy everyone's curiosity and tell us about their origins."

Silence can't solve any problem. If we find out and you explain it yourself, the result will be different. Let me say it again, think more about yourself and your parents and relatives. "

Zuo Zhong looked at the trembling Zhuang Meiyun with an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. She continued to put pressure on the other person and did not give Zhuang Meiyun time to think. She had to explain these two issues clearly.

"me."

Zhuang Meiyun was frightened by Zuo Zhong's aggressiveness, and finally covered her face and cried bitterly: "I sold some of the porcelain and office supplies in the auditorium, and I used the money to buy clothes."

Now that the words have been spoken, she no longer hides them: "I stole three times in total and exchanged it for more than one hundred oceans in total. I really don't dare anymore. Please forgive me, sir. I am willing to compensate."

 Speaking of this, she fell to her knees on the ground.

Zuo Zhong squinted his eyes. No wonder she was so scared. It turned out that she was afraid that the theft would be discovered. If Luo Ailing and Zhuang Meiyun were excluded, the only suspect left would be Min Ping, a good girl.

He raised his head and met the other person's eyes. Min Ping was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head and leaned her feet together nervously. Could such a person be a member of the Japanese spy Nandou team?

Zuo Zhong carefully recalled Yue Dawu's observations of Min Ping. He summarized it at four points. He went in for a short while and didn't see clearly what he did. It was no different from usual, and the time was about the same.

kindness? Something seems wrong.
