After coming out of Lihe Trading Company, Lin Feng stood at the door of the company and lit a cigarette.

A police officer beside him said, "Inspector, according to Huafu's account, the person he traded with was Zhang Yunhe, the comprador of Yihua Foreign Trade in the French Concession. As far as I know, there are many compradors like Zhang Yunhe in the Concession, but most of them are just middlemen!"

"However, these compradors not only receive salaries and commissions from the foreign companies, but also extract certain commissions from the buyers. You want to investigate the Citibank theft by investigating the recent large sums of money entering the accounts of major banks. I think this method is too time-consuming and labor-intensive!"

"The major banks receive a lot of large amounts of money every day. If we check them one by one, we will have too many targets to investigate!"

Lin Feng sighed, "This is the only solution. It's been over a week since the incident, and Citibank's security director, Walton, and the others still haven't explained anything. They've absolutely refused to admit any involvement in the bank vault theft. We can only look for another way out. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, but this is the only way we can do right now!"

"By the way, is there any news from the Qing Gang?"

The nearby patrolman replied, "We've already contacted several of the Qing Gang's leaders, and they've promised to pass on the message, asking the gang members to keep a close eye on those who are spending money lavishly lately, and to notify us if they spot anyone suspicious!"

Lin Feng nodded, took out a list and a pen, found Huafu's name on the list, and then added Zhang Yunhe's name after Huafu's name.

"Let's go, let's go to the Yihua Foreign Trade Company in the French Concession to meet this Zhang Yunhe!"

The police officers all felt that they would not gain anything this time. A comprador had made a pharmaceutical deal, and the transaction partner was likely a mainland pharmaceutical merchant or an official. If that was the case, there was no way to investigate.

In fact, Lin Feng did not really think that he could get to the bottom of the Citibank vault theft case by investigating the large sums of money deposited into the bank by some foreign companies and enterprises. His main investigation direction was whether some individuals had recently deposited large sums of money into their bank accounts or rented large private safes.

Investigating the source of funds for foreign companies' transactions was just a side job.

That morning, Zhang Yunhe drove past a new contact point, Ma Ji Silk Shop, on his way to Yihua Foreign Company, and saw a sign hanging at the door of the shop saying that new goods had arrived.

He drove the car to a distant street and stopped, then dialed the silk shop's phone number using the virtual phone on the Tiexue computer.

The call was quickly connected: "Hello, this is Ma Ji Silk Shop!"

"It's me. What's the matter?" Zhang Yunhe asked while sitting in the car.

Ma Dazhi's low voice came from the phone: "Is our call safe?"

"It's safe, just say whatever you want to say!"

"Well, have you received any news about the assassination of Su Wenruo at Songhu Station these days?" Ma Dazhi asked.

Zhang Yunhe said, "Of course we received the news. This stationmaster is such a pig! He knew Su Wenruo was already on guard, but he still rushed his men to their deaths like moths to a flame. He's lucky that Songhu Station wasn't completely wiped out by the Special High Technology Bureau!"

Zhang Yunhe was actually quite puzzled. Despite the massive operation the Special High Tech Division had been carrying out over the past few days, there was no relevant information in the surveillance data he had received. This could only mean that the Special High Tech Division had discovered the bug or something related to the operation, something Akao Hiroichi and the others hadn't mentioned in the office.

"Let's not talk about the heavy losses at Songhu Station for now. Last night, Xiao He received a telegram from headquarters ordering us to assassinate Su Wenruo and giving us a week!"

Zhang Yunhe cursed after hearing this: "Have those people above us lost our minds? Su Wenruo is already a frightened bird, fully prepared. Now they want us to assassinate him, isn't that asking us to die?"

"This... I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but orders are orders, and we can't disobey them. Otherwise, we'll be punished according to the family law and charged with treason!"

Zhang Yunhe took a deep breath and said, "I know about this. I'll first investigate Su Wenruo's work, living habits, and social situation before making a decision!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe continued driving to Yihua Foreign Company to go to work.

As soon as he arrived at Yihua Foreign Trade Company, a clerk called him and said, "Mr. Zhang, some police officers are looking for you!"

The police? Zhang Yunhe was puzzled. He turned his head and saw two policemen from the police station and four policemen from the International Settlement coming over.

"Are you Zhang Yunhe?" A sheriff wearing a police uniform looked at Zhang Yunhe and asked.

Zhang Yunhe glanced at the patrolmen and replied, "It's me. What do you want from me, sir?"

"We have something to ask you about. Please come with us to the police station!"

Zhang Yunhe's eyes flickered, and his heart suddenly became calm. He said, "Sir, I'm very sorry. I'm busy. If you have anything to say, please talk here!"

The chief of the police station glared at him and said, "Zhang Yunhe, I'm not asking for your opinion now, I'm formally summoning you!"

Zhang Yunhe stretched out his hand: "Really? Show me the subpoena!"

He is not an ignorant commoner, so it is impossible for these black dogs to scare him with this trick.

The sheriff of the police station was a little embarrassed and reached for his holster in anger.

Lin Feng quickly stopped him and said to Zhang Yunhe, "Zhang Yunhe, right? I'm Lin Feng from the International Settlement Police Station. I'd like to ask you about a case. According to Hua Fu, the manager of Lihe Foreign Trade, you did a 300 million yuan deal with him a few days ago."

Zhang Yunhe was shocked. He didn't expect that the police station would find Hua Fu. However, he carefully checked the 300 million yuan he traded with Hua Fu. There was no mark and no consecutive numbers. It should be impossible for the police station to trace Hua Fu through the banknotes. In all likelihood, they wanted to investigate the source of funds from the large sums of money deposited by depositors in the bank, trying to find clues to the stolen vault.

He nodded. "That's true! What? Are you police station going to investigate our business too? Do the concession authorities still want to collect taxes from us?"

"Don't get me wrong, that's not what I meant. I know Mr. Zhang is the comprador of Yihua Foreign Company, and I know that this profession is very lucrative, but it's impossible for him to have a huge sum of three million. So I want to know who the transaction partner behind this huge sum of three million is. Please tell me, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Yunhe shook his head: "Captain Lin, this is impossible, because this is our company's business secrets, I can't disclose my client's information to anyone!"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid this is not up to you. If you insist on not telling me, I believe that the Special High Technology Department and the Japanese Anti-Smuggling Team will soon know that Mr. Zhang bought 2000 boxes of sulfanilamide from Lihe Foreign Company. They will definitely be very interested in the whereabouts of this batch of sulfanilamide!"
