Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 155 Traces

After leaving Zheng Yaoxian's office, Ye Shaohong didn't stop there; he turned around and went straight to the underground prison.

Ye Shaohong asked one of Li Yunlong's field agents and learned that Li Yunlong and his team had already gone on three missions in just one morning.

They killed or captured a total of five Japanese spies.

These people were all confessed to by Chizuru Kamio.

They were all his action team members.

Although the number of people was not large, Li Yunlong caused quite a commotion. He came and went in a flash, and he regarded his field agents as ruthless bandits.

They showed no restraint whatsoever. That's why they alerted those greedy thieves in Villa No. 1 of Honggong Temple.

Ye Shaohong did not criticize or complain about Li Yunlong in front of the field crew.

He simply informed Li Yunlong that he should come to his office immediately upon Li Yunlong's return from the mission.

After dealing with this minor matter, Ye Shaohong prepared to go back. Just as he reached the entrance of the office building, a soldier in military uniform ran over from a distance.

"Team Leader Ye, Team Leader Ye, someone is looking for you."

The security guard was very fast; he ran to the entrance of the office building in just a few steps. Upon seeing Ye Shaohong, he first stood at attention and saluted before explaining the purpose of his visit.

"Well, I see."

"Let's go, I'll go with you."

Without even thinking, Ye Shaohong knew who the person was—it was Zhou Fei, the police chief of the Nancheng Police Station. He had called that morning to deliver the information he had just gathered, and since Ye Shaohong was free now, he could take the time to meet him.

The No. 1 villa at Honggongci is very large.

It took Ye Shaohong a full four or five minutes to walk from the office building to the main gate.

Then, from afar, he saw Zhou Fei, dressed in black, at the gate. Just like when Ye Shaohong first met him, this guy was at the gate of the Second Division of the Survey and Statistics Bureau, and he was acting as if strangers should stay away.

But the more you get to know him, the more you realize that he's not as serious and dignified as he seems.

He also has his own little schemes, quite a few at that.

The only unique thing about him is that he doesn't flaunt his flattery like others do; instead, he puts it into practice.

Just like now. Seeing Ye Shaohong coming over with the gatekeeper, Zhou Fei immediately began to tidy his appearance.

When Ye Shaohong reached the gate, he immediately saluted.

"Team Leader Ye!"

"Hmm, you brought everything?"

“I brought it. It also contains the records of the re-examination of the crime scene this morning, which I personally led the team to do.”

As they were talking, Zhou Fei took out a thick brown paper bag from his briefcase and respectfully handed it to Ye Shaohong.

After Ye Shaohong took the brown paper bag, he weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy, so there must be a lot of things inside.

"Row!"

"I've received the files and documents. I'll arrange for someone to hand them over to you according to the necessary procedures." "As for what I promised you before, I'll take care of it for you after I've reviewed the documents and there are no problems."

After saying that, Ye Shaohong didn't look at Zhou Fei again and turned to walk towards the office building.

As for Zhou Fei, he didn't feel any displeasure at Ye Shaohong's cold and distant attitude.

Instead, he secretly clenched his fists.

"Team Leader Xie Ye!"

Hearing the loud shouts behind him, Ye Shaohong did not stop or turn around, but simply raised one hand and waved it in the air.

Holding the documents in his hand, Ye Shaohong returned to his office.

After closing the door, he carefully examined the file in his hand.

The first thing he looked at was Liu Long's information.

Liu Long, male, 27 years old, from Lincheng, Shandong Province...

These materials and information were actually not very useful because they were all fake and forged, so Ye Shaohong simply glanced at them and moved on.

His gaze then fell on the photo in the household registration file.

Looking at the man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, Ye Shaohong nodded. Then he pulled out a handwritten note from the file.

The note recorded the falsified and forged parts of the household registration file.

This information must have been compiled by the veteran police officers Zhou Fei had selected based on their own experience. Ye Shaohong carefully compared the contents of the note and indeed found some special features.

For example, the ink marks are not old enough, and there are slight differences in the placement of the photos, etc.

After reviewing Liu Long's household registration file, Ye Shaohong picked up another file. This time it was a woman's.

Qin Keqing.

Judging from the photos, she's quite pretty, with curved eyebrows and cherry lips; she looks like an intellectual woman who has received higher education.

Looking at the photos alone, it's hard to tell what's so special about her.

Ye Shaohong didn't pay much attention to it.

He just wanted to see what these two people looked like.

He then picked up the criminal records file of the South City Police Station and looked through the case information from more than three months ago.

In this survey report, Ye Shaohong found Liu Long and Qin Keqing's home address: No. 17, Sanshui Lane, Nancheng.

It was an ordinary street that Ye Shaohong had never heard of before. If there was anything special about it, it was that most of the residents in the area were transient people.

There were very few local residents. After keeping this discovery in mind, Ye Shaohong picked up the photos taken in the file again.

These photos must have been taken by Zhou Fei just today.

Through these photos, Ye Shaohong gained a general understanding of Liu Long and Qin Keqing's family background.

very common.

The furnishings and items in their home looked no different from those of ordinary people in that era; the only difference was that they were slightly more refined.

"Am I really overthinking it?"

"For now, there doesn't seem to be any problem."

If this information hadn't come from Liu Bo's confession, Ye Shaohong would have given up long ago after seeing this information.

He would feel that there was no hope for this case.

But the situation is different now.

Someone was willing to spend a high price of one thousand yen to specifically find Liu Bo, the deputy chief of the Nancheng Police Station, to process these two fake documents. Ye Shaohong would never believe that these two people had no problems.

Even if they weren't Japanese spies, they must have had other hidden identities.

But where is the vulnerability?

With doubts in his mind, Ye Shaohong once again looked through the documents, this time checking them almost word by word.

He looked very carefully.

Ye Shaohong even paid special attention to the punctuation and sentence breaks.

A dozen minutes later, Ye Shaohong finally discovered a clue that he had previously overlooked.

The criminal investigation report at the murder scene included several statements from neighbors. One of them, a middle-aged woman surnamed Chen, said that the deceased, Liu Long, was very short.

Unlike the rough men he knew, Liu Long looked to be no more than 150 centimeters tall, definitely not exceeding 1.6 meters.

This sentence immediately reminded Ye Shaohong of the Japanese spies who had been captured and brought to justice in the underground prison.

They were all short.

Very few people can exceed 1.6 meters tall.

According to the information Ye Shaohong learned, the Japanese people of this era were generally not tall. Compared with the Japanese people of the early 20th century, the Japanese people of this era were generally 20 centimeters shorter.

"Short stature, false identity, and the victim's face was disfigured after death."

"That's very interesting."

"Although this information is not enough to confirm that Liu Long and Qin Keqing are Japanese spies, it is enough for me to continue my investigation."
