Bourne's Nemesis

Chapter 24 What do you want?
Zhou Qian put the letter paper and the cause of laughter and laughter back to their original positions. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he never stopped and exited the room. He first locked the door and was careful not to step on the scattered soil on the ground. Then he opened the courtyard door and stretched out his arms The small cloth strip on the lintel of the courtyard gate is held up to close the gate, so that the small cloth strip is still in the yard.

After the courtyard door was locked, Zhou Qian checked that there were no traces left on the ground, and then left with Liu Changdong. The people he arranged made a fuss for a while and left, because such incidents happen from time to time, and the common people have long been accustomed to it.

"Zhou Qian, have you found the password book?"

"It's the cause of laughter."

"To buy books?"

"No, I have already translated it. The content is: August [-]nd, at ten o'clock in the morning, in the auditorium of Joe's Shipping Company."

"I'll go immediately to find out what activities Qiao's Shipping Company has on the morning of August [-]." Liu Changdong said,

"I'll go find Ping Lu, and you'll come to the courtyard when you find out the results."

Zhou Qian found Ping Lu and went to have something to eat first. An Xinmei didn't have to stare any longer. Not long after returning to the small courtyard, Liu Changdong rushed over. When he saw the two of them, he immediately said, "August [-]nd, ten o'clock in the morning , all the important people of the Qiao family will go to the auditorium to participate in a business meeting, and Qiao Weiliang and two Nanjing dignitaries will also be there."

"What is the spy trying to do?" Ping Lu felt that something was wrong and asked,

"Could it be that they want to engage in assassination!" Zhou Qian said,
"It's very possible, so should we arrest An Xinmei?" Liu Changdong asked,
Zhou Qian shook his head and said: "I can't catch her, I can only watch her secretly, because once she is caught, the devil will probably stop or change his action plan, and then it will be difficult for us to catch her again."

"You're right! Brother Zhou, you really deserve to be the person that Virgo likes. You're so clever. You found out that there was something wrong with the coffee shop so quickly, but we didn't find it after monitoring for more than a month."

"Has Qiao Weiliang been to Qiao's Shipping Company for more than a month?" Zhou Qian asked because he is the most important person in Qiao's Shipping Company.

"No, this Mr. Qiao Wei Liang Qiao is very busy. He spends most of his time in Nanjing and Shanghai, and he has a job in the Nanjing government."

"I suspect that the spies are targeting all the important people in the Qiao family." Pinglu said,
"All the important people, do you mean the spies want to bring down the Qiao family?" Liu Changdong asked,
"According to your information and my information, some of the Qiao family's business competes with Chengheng Foreign Firm. The most important thing is that the Qiao family is very patriotic. Qiao Weiliang is Dong Xuebin's friend. He is now offering a huge reward for the murder of Dong Xuebin. .”

"Yes, that's right. Qiao Weiliang used all his connections for this. The gangs in Hangzhou will basically give him face. They are also looking for the murderer. Could it have something to do with this?" Liu Changdong said,

"Do you know who the two Nanjing dignitaries you mentioned are?" Ping Lu asked.

"I don't know yet."

Ping Lu thought for a while and said, "I need to report this matter to Shangfeng. I'll make a phone call. You guys are waiting for me."

Ping Lu came back after going there for more than 40 minutes, and said to Zhou Qian and Liu Changdong: "That's right, Qiao Weiliang will return to Hangzhou tomorrow, accompanied by two important officials from the Nanjing government from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The two of them went to Qiao's Shipping Company to discuss the expansion of the inland waterway shipping business together, and some important figures from the Qiao family will be present at that time, and they probably want to hold a welcome ceremony for the two important officials in the auditorium."

"Two important officials from the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Economic Affairs are here. It seems that they want to discuss some cooperation with the Qiao family."

"Because the Qiao family is expanding its inland waterway shipping business, the Nanjing government, which is in the midst of the financial crisis, attaches great importance to it, and also has the intention to increase investment in waterway transportation of goods from various places, because over the years, foreign shipping companies including Japan have occupied a lot of A large share of the inland waterway transport business is something that the Nanjing government is very reluctant to see."

Not only Qiao Weiliang, but also two important officials. If something happens this time, his life will be in danger. Liu Changdong can be said to be terrified now, because the matter is too big, so he hurriedly asked: "What does the Virgo say?"

"I have reported the situation here to Virgo in detail, and Virgo asked us to discuss the countermeasures before reporting to him." Ping Lu finished speaking and asked Zhou Qian: "Since you don't want to arrest these spies now, are you Have a plan?"

"I need to see Qiao Weiliang to know if my current plan can be implemented."

"It's okay, Qiao Weiliang will be back tomorrow, and I'll take you to see him." Liu Changdong said,

"Go and meet in secret, don't alarm anyone." Zhou Qian said,
"Okay, I'll contact you tomorrow after I've made contact."

Liu Changdong is very excited now, the spies must have taken action, if they can catch them all and stop their actions, that would be a great achievement, now Zhou Qian and Ping Lu are both real action masters.

Seeing Zhou Qian thinking, Ping Lu asked, "Zhou Qian, what are you thinking?"

"Sister Pinglu, I'll tell you when I see Qiao Weiliang tomorrow, because this plan definitely needs his cooperation, otherwise we can't do anything."

"Okay." Ping Lu still believed in Zhou Qian's ability, anyway, he would tell himself in advance of any action, and usually make plans by himself, but this time it was easier.

"By the way, I also want to tell you an important situation. The woman you are staring at is called An Xinmei, and her man is Zhao Shuyou, one of the principals of Chengheng Shipping Company."

"Zhao Shuyou! I checked this person. He is a Chinese who studied in Japan. I don't have any information about An Xinmei. I didn't expect that they are husband and wife."

"Is it true that the couple doesn't know yet? It seems that you only check the person and not their relatives?" Zhou Qian asked,
"If even my relatives are checking on me, how can I be busy?"

"How many people are in your group?"

"The four were all put together temporarily by the intelligence department, and now they have returned to their original posts."

"You are also very capable here. It was found out so quickly that Xie Yousen is Kenjiro Hashimoto, a teacher at Tongwen Academy."

"It is not because of the help of the secret service that we can find him so quickly. The chief has already sent people to investigate him and the few people he recruited. I believe there will be results soon."

"Then let's start with An Xinmei and Ishimura Hideki first."

"Well, it's a pity that there is not enough evidence to arrest Ishimura Hideki directly."

He didn't catch the current situation, and he didn't have any evidence in his hand. He couldn't catch it even though he knew that Hideki Ishimura was a spy. This made Zhou Qian very regretful.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on August [-]st, Liu Changdong drove Zhou Qian and Ping Lu to a place called Jingyuan, where someone was already waiting, and took them to a remote room through a small door.

After entering the door, Zhou Qian saw a handsome middle-aged man sitting in front of the table of eight immortals. He seemed to be in his early forties. He was Qiao Weiliang, the business genius of the Qiao family.
