Chapter 399: The Body Is Found
What is the deputy leader of the counter-espionage liaison team, this is just that Sakurako Ikeuchi can find an excuse to easily approach herself and investigate herself.
It's just that even old foxes like Lin Shiqun have been hidden.
Of course, this Ikeuchi Sakurako is a very good excuse, and there are indeed so-called "undercover" spies in No. 76 and some institutions of the Japanese military.
The investigation will inevitably involve contacts and contests between Chinese and Japanese agents, so it is necessary for the special high school to join forces with No. 76 to facilitate the investigation.
Chen Miao knew that his troubles had just begun.
Came out of Lin Shiqun's office.
A good-looking back came straight towards Chen Miao, and almost hit him with a full-bogged, shy, blown-up face.
It was actually Ding Mohan's secretary Shen Xinmei.
"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I'm ......in a hurry" Shen Xinmei said shy and anxious, and rushed away from him, turning around, a little surprised, that direction is not a toilet?
"That, Xiao Shen ......" Just about to go downstairs, Ding Mohan came out of the office, and when he looked up, he saw Chen Miao, and his old face was slightly red, "Director Chen, it's just right, I'm going to look for you, can you come over for a while?" ”
"Director Ding, are you looking for me?"
"That's right, it's you, what's the matter, it's just the two of us here, could it be that there is a second Director Chen?" Ding Mohan asked rhetorically.
"Do you have anything to do, my inspectorate will issue benefits today, I have to rush back to get it, otherwise, those boys will pick up all the good ones, and there will be a bunch of leftovers."
This excuse is bad enough, who doesn't know that the benefits are issued, the leader must leave the best, how can he still let him go with his subordinates to receive it?
"Something, come in and talk about it." Ding Mohan was very embarrassed, his director was becoming more and more weightless when he spoke on No. 76, and he hadn't left yet.
"Okay, hurry up then." Chen Miao nodded and followed Ding Mohan into the office.
"Director Chen, the Inspectorate has been detaining Secretary Mao for three days, what are the results of your investigation?" Ding Mohan asked directly.
"At present, Secretary Mao has a great relationship with the disappearance of Han Xiaodong, a member of the inspector brigade who was dismissed from our inspection department, and Secretary Mao is suspected of creating and falsifying the personnel system of our inspection department, and there is reason to suspect that Secretary Mao accepted bribes and covered up ...... for others."
"Is there any hard evidence?"
"Of course, if there is no conclusive evidence, his subordinates will not detain him in the preferential treatment room of the inspectorate." Chen Miao nodded.
"What is the Inspectorate going to do with it?"
"Secretary Mao is a member of the Secret Service Committee and an alternate member of the Central Executive Committee, and his status is special, so the Supervision Department has no right to dispose of it without authorization, and after the case is investigated, how to deal with it has to listen to the instructions of the two directors and Shangfeng."
"Then I can guarantee that I can release him first, his health is not very good, he stays in that kind of place for a long time, I am afraid that his body will collapse." Ding Mo said.
"Director Ding, it's not that I refute your face, if it's just corruption and bribery, and perjury, you can vouch for it, naturally, but now it involves the Chongqing espionage case, and Secretary Mao is still suspected of murder, so he must be investigated clearly before he can be released."
"Director Chen, you just refuse to let go?" Ding Mohan instantly lowered his face and asked.
"It's not okay to release people at this stage."
"Chen Sanshui, what do you mean, do you need me to pull down my face and beg you?"
"No, the subordinates never have this meaning, they should release people, their subordinates will naturally release people, they should not release people, and their subordinates dare not release people." Chen Miao said.
"Okay, good Chen Sanshui, you are really a good subordinate of Deputy Director Lin." Ding Mohan pointed at Chen Miao and said through gritted teeth.
Chen Miao knew very well that his relationship with Ding Mohan was destined to be hostile, if he wasn't still in the position of director, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.
"If Director Ding has nothing else to do, his subordinates will retire first." Chen Miao bowed very politely, and then regardless of the other party's response, he directly opened the door and left.
Ding Mohan was not lightly angry, picked up the teacup on the table, and fell to the ground suddenly, with a "bang", the tea and water were scattered on the ground.
……
"Third brother, I found the place where Secretary Mao drove to the morning six days ago." When Chen Miao returned to the office, he received a call from Wu Tianlin from "Lin".
"Oh, wait, I'll be there in a moment." Chen Miao was surprised, although it was said that an area was demarcated, it was not easy to find such a place.
Riverside, hidden, and easy to throw corpses, the distance is not too far, because Mao Ziming has to rush back to No. 76 before going to work, Ding Mohan is not easy to serve, if the work time is not up, he will scold.
Wu Tianlin and Chen Miao went to the scene to investigate in a car.
"Third brother, this place is not far from Xiaoyedu, it used to be a small coal transshipment wharf, before the Japanese entered Shanghai, it continued to be used, after the Japanese entered Shanghai, the coal trade was controlled by the Japanese or pro-Japanese traitors, this transshipment wharf is increasingly abandoned, but occasionally there are smuggling boats ashore from here, fortunately, we found the rut prints, and compared with Secretary Mao's car tires, it was determined that it was his car."
"Have you found the corpse team?"
"I found it, on such a cold day, I have to add money, I agreed, and specially prepared wine and dry clothes for them, which can be replaced at any time."
The river is a reed, the wharf extends into the Huangpu River, and the opposite bank is Longhuazui.
The fog is up, there is a layer of mist on the river, but the visibility is okay, Jiang Zhiqiang has been conducting surveys along the river with people for a while.
"Was there any fog that morning?"
"I don't think so." Wu Tianlin recalled.
"Ask nearby to see if there are any eyewitnesses, if you can determine the location of the body thrown, then targeted salvage will be much easier." Chen Miao instructed as he walked along the river.
"Okay."
Mao Ziming drove so far in a car to a small coal wharf by the Huangpu River, and he really couldn't think of any more convincing reason than to throw the body.
And Mao Ziming's motive for killing, he can guess more or less three points, it must be that Han Xiaodong was forced to be cornered, so he went to Mao Ziming, supplied a sum of money, and flew away.
If there is not much money, people like Mao Ziming will definitely spend money to eliminate disasters, but once Han Xiaodong's mouth is beyond the scope of what he can bear in his heart, then he will kill him.
"This season, the speed of the river flow is relatively slow, and Mao Ziming's strength, he estimates that he can carry an object of no more than one hundred and fifty catties, how tall is Han Xiaodong and how much does he weigh?"
"Han Xiaodong is one meter six and five tall, and his weight is about one hundred and twenty pounds." Jiang Zhiqiang is the direct investigator of the case, and he knows this information very well.
"Is there a rock or something nearby?"
"Yes, there is an abandoned coal gangue pile nearby, and the largest one weighs hundreds of pounds." Jiang Zhiqiang pointed to a gray stone mill not far away.
"Let's go, go over and have a look." Chen Miao waved his hand.
"Team Leader Jiang, look here, there are footprints!" One of Jiang Zhiqiang's team members suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly, and Chen Miao and the others came when they heard the news.
"This shoe print doesn't look like Secretary Mao's, Secretary Mao's feet should be one size smaller than this."
"No, the focus of this shoe print is a little strange, normal people walk, that is the forefoot first lands on the ground, so, the footprints in the front half are relatively deep, and although this footprint is also like this, the edge of the first half of the footprint is a little blurred......" After observing all the footprints, Jiang Zhiqiang frowned.
"The man was wearing a pair of shoes that didn't fit." Chen Miao came over and took a look and said, "Han Xiaodong's shoes are one size bigger than Secretary Mao, right?" ”
"How do you know?"
"Needless to say, Secretary Mao is wearing Han Xiaodong's shoes, which explains why we didn't find anything at Secretary Mao's house." Chen Miao said.
"Third brother, Secretary Mao is smart enough." Wu Tianlin leaned over and said.
"In our line of work, even if you haven't done some things yourself, you can learn a trick or two." Chen Miao smiled, "It seems that we have come to the right place." ”
"Keep looking, I hope this Han Xiaodong can leave us some clues, so that we can help him collect a corpse, and at least receive some incense during the New Year's holidays." Wu Tianlin ordered loudly.
"Yes!"
"Found it, found ......"
"What did you find?"
"Look, I found this?" The inspector said excitedly, pinching a piece of twine.
"It's just a twine, what did I think it was?"
"It's not twine, it's the fishing line used by fishermen to weave nets, this secretary Mao is smart enough, he doesn't use sacks, it's fishing nets, ask nearby, see if there are abandoned fishing boats or which fishing nets have been lost inexplicably?" Chen Miao walked over, stretched out his hand to take the "twine", put it under his nose and sniffed it, and judged directly.
"Third brother, how do you know this is a fishing line?"
"Do you smell a fishy smell?" Chen Miao handed it to Wu Tianlin.
"Really, third brother, follow you, you can learn something every day." Wu Tianlin put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said in amazement.
"It's not a big deal, just pay more attention to the details, and the clues are often in the details you ignore." Chen Miao smiled.
"I inquired, and someone said that his family lost a fishing net a few days ago, and it was originally planned to be repaired and used again next year, but I don't know who stole it......
About half an hour later, the people who inquired about the neighborhood came back and reported.
"Now that we have found footprints and know that they are stones tied with fishing nets, we can go to the river to find them, as long as we determine the location where the body was dumped, it will be easier for us to salvage them." Chen Miao smiled, "You can spend a little less." ”
Two hours later!
At the place where they found footprints on the riverside, the corpse collection team fished out a swollen corpse that had been soaked in water less than 30 meters downstream in the direction of the current.
Because of the cold weather, the temperature of the river is also relatively low, and the decomposition rate of the corpse is slightly slower, and the swelling face can be faintly recognized.
The body that was salvaged was Han Xiaodong, a member of the inspector brigade who was dismissed from the inspection department.
"Take it back, do an autopsy, determine the time of death and the cause of death." Chen Miao commanded calmly.
"Third brother, do you still need an autopsy?"
"Of course, if the time of death is wrong, wouldn't it be wrong to Secretary Mao, maybe he can't think of committing suicide?" Chen Miao glanced at Wu Tianlin.
"Huh?"
