The secret war is silent

Now? Zhang Zizheng, who had just finished taking a shower, was stunned for a moment. After a while, he would go to bed directly.

His job is to cooperate with Luo Yao's investigation, and he doesn't need to make decisions. It's relatively easy, he can just do the work Luo Yao gives him well.

Now. Luo Yao nodded.

If he waited until tomorrow, the night would be wasted. He didn't have that much time to waste now.

Then I'll go get a coat?

Well, call Yang Zhaojie and Cai Xiaochun, and the four of us will go over quietly. Luo Yao ordered, Wear casual clothes, just plain clothes.

Do you want to inform Director Zhou?

There is no need to work so hard. We can just go there quietly. Anyway, we also know the boss of Hongbin Building. Luo Yao said.

Okay, I'll go get ready and fill up the car with gas.

Yang Zhaojie and Cai Xiaochun also quickly received the notice, and the four of them drove a car and came out of Huangshan Mansion.

Go all the way to the old streets of NA District.

People like Zhang Xiaozheng have very high-level passes, so no one can stop them along the way. Even if there is a curfew at night, it will not affect their actions.

When Luo Yao and the others arrived at the old street, the street had already been under full curfew, with only a few pedestrians walking around in a hurry.

At this time, if you don’t have some energy, you will definitely not walk on the road under curfew. Of course, if you are a Westerner, you may have some privileges. The NA area is the embassy area, and Japanese plane bombings will also be selectively avoided. .

There are no military targets here, and it is a gathering area for foreigners. Not only does the bombing have no deterrent effect, but it will cause diplomatic protests and trouble.

Therefore, the implementation of the curfew policy here is not so strict. Anyway, there is no fear of explosion. If it does explode, the Western powers will go to negotiate with the Japanese.

After parking the car, Cai Xiaochun knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a clerk from Hongbin Building. He might have recognized Cai Xiaochun, and he looked obviously surprised.

Sir, it's so late...

Cai Xiaochun pushed the door open gently and walked in. He was smoking a cigarette at the counter and wearing only a coat. The boss, who was sighing, looked up and was also startled.

The person who opened the business had a good eye. The boss also recognized Cai Xiaochun. Although Cai Xiaochun didn't say much yesterday, he remembered that this was Sui Cong who appeared next to the two big shots. In my own store, that would definitely be a big deal.

Sir, Mr. Yao is right. Do you have anything important to do when you come here at this time? Boss Yao stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists.

Boss Yao, if I have something to talk to you about, please find a quiet place to talk. Cai Xiaochun said according to Luo Yao's instructions.

ah……

Boss Yao, please cooperate. Cai Xiaochun said seriously.

Luo Yao, Zhang Xiaozheng and Yang Zhaojie also walked in later. When Boss Yao saw it, he felt his head twitch. I am afraid that this matter tonight will not be a big deal.

Boss Yao, don't be nervous. We just have something to ask you. Just find a quiet place and we'll talk in detail. Luo Yao said warmly.

Okay, okay, some officers are coming with me.

Xiaochun, stay outside. Luo Yao ordered Cai Xiaochun and went in with Boss Yao.

This room is where I live. It's a bit shabby. Sirs, please sit down and I can make tea for you? Boss Yao said tremblingly.

No, we're not thirsty. The reason why we came here at night is because there are many people in the daytime, and there are many things that are hard to say and smell bad, as you know.

I know, I know.

Sit down, sit down and say, do you know all the residents of Hongbin Building? Luo Yao said hurriedly, seeing that the other party was a little nervous and still standing.

Most of them are acquaintances... Boss Yao seemed afraid to speak too fully.

How long does it take for this Xiaorong to live here with you?

Most of the year.

Do you know when she came and when she left? Luo Yao asked.

She only comes to stay once or twice a month. Sometimes she leaves on the same day, and sometimes she stays for one night. Boss Yao said after a while.

Luo Yao's eyebrows twitched slightly. She knew that the servants of Yunxiu Tower were not allowed to stay outside when they took leave. They had to go out and return on the same day. Even if there was an emergency and they could not return in time, they had to explain the reason for exceeding the time. Only force majeure This would only be possible if, for example, they were bombed by Japanese planes, injured, or the road was blocked, etc.

If there are no such reasons, then only a permission is required. Without a permission, you are not allowed to stay out overnight. Once discovered, the penalty will be very serious.

But as far as he knew, Wang Youmei had no record of staying out overnight, so the Wang Youmei mentioned by Boss Yao could be two people, two people with exactly the same face.

Does this Xiaorong have any contact with the other residents of Hongbin Building?

I don't think she has any impression. She keeps to herself and rarely talks to others. She only nods when saying hello. Boss Yao thought for a while and said.

Didn't you come to see her?

No, I haven't heard of it.

You are lying. As far as we know, every time Xiao Rong comes, a man will come to see him. As the boss, you don't know who he is, right? Zhang Xiaozheng scolded.

Boss Yao was so frightened that beads of sweat formed on his forehead. It was obvious that he knew, but there was a reason why he didn't say anything.

It's Dr. Yan from the Rejuvenation Pavilion. He and Xiao Rong are good friends. I'm very grateful to Dr. Yan for curing my disease, so I have to keep this secret for him. Boss Yao explained.

How many times has Dr. Yan been here? When was the last time he came?

I don't know exactly how many times I've been here. Anyway, every time Xiao Rong comes, Dr. Yan comes soon. There must be about ten times. The last time was the day before yesterday...

Other than you, who else knows about Doctor Yan and Xiao Rong?

In addition to me, there is also a guy who is in charge of the front desk. Sometimes when I am not here, the guy helps to greet me, and he will naturally know.

Do you need to register your guests and guests here?

Yes, this is a rule, and it is also required by the government in case of inquiries. If bad people get involved, I won't be able to explain anything clearly.

Bring over the visitor's register and the guest's registration and take a look at it?

Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you three! Boss Yao stood up immediately and said.

Good work.

Luo Yao gave Zhang Xiaozheng a look and motioned to follow him.

After a while, the two came back together. Boss Yao held two thick blue leather-bound books in his hands.

One book is the guest register and the other is the visitor register.

Guests will definitely register, which involves interests, but visitors may not. If some acquaintances come, they probably won't register.

But as long as strangers come in, they still need to register. If they are acquaintances, it depends on the mood of the waiter.

In addition to long-term renters, there are also short-term residents. Short-term residents only account for a small proportion. See the records in the registration book.

The business of Hongbin Building is still very good. Long-term tenants account for more than half of the tenants. The longest tenants have lived here for a year and a half, and the shorter tenants have lived there for a month. Moreover, young women account for the majority, and there are quite a few of these women. Just work in nearby entertainment venues, such as dance halls, bars and the like. There are many foreigners here and their spending power is relatively strong. The income of these young women who are engaged in accompanying guests is relatively high. Of course, they are also engaged in service transactions secretly. of……

Commonly known as: secret door.

This kind of thing is not Luo Yao's business, nor can he. His purpose of coming today is to find the suspect.

Boss Yao, let me ask you, after Dr. Yan came to see Xiao Rong the day before yesterday, have any visitors stayed at Hongbin Building? Luo Yao asked.

this……

Don't say you don't know. Everyone has to eat. When they come, they go out to eat or ask you to prepare food and drinks. You know this best. And you won't forget what happened a few days ago. Luo Yao asked.

There are a few visitors staying overnight.

Boss Yao, please write down which ones. I will send someone to verify them one by one later, said Luo Yao.

Yes, I'll write it. Boss Yao knew very well that the two men and one woman in front of him were very powerful figures. If he didn't comply, I'm afraid his Hongbin Building would have to close down tomorrow.

The house numbers of each room were written out.

Are there any acquaintances staying here that you know?

I know three of them, and I haven't seen the others, but they are all registered. Boss Yao nodded.

You all have your dick with these people, right? Luo Yao asked.

Boss Yao's face instantly turned red.

Zhang Xiaozheng on the side didn't quite understand the twists and turns here, and was a little stunned. However, although Yang Zhaojie was a woman, she was very aware of these underground gray transactions and didn't find anything strange at all.

This is not our responsibility, Boss Yao. After the few people above stayed overnight in Hongbin Building, when did they leave the next day?

We will still pay attention to people who come in, but we won't ask too much about people who go out. They usually leave the next morning, and some will wait until noon. Usually, they will not stay for the second night.

Did you bring any guests back tonight?

Yes, but not many. Most of them will leave with the customers and come back the next day. Boss Yao thought for a moment and said.

Ask your guys to call the people on the list over one by one. We want to question them. Tell them that no matter whether they are sleeping or doing anything, they have to come over. Otherwise, we won't be questioning them here. Luo Yao ordered.

Yes. Boss Yao did not dare to refute and quickly agreed.

Now the real Wang Youmei has been staying in Hongbin Tower, while the fake Wang Youmei returned to Huangshan Mansion, took the opportunity to steal confidential documents, and then left safely, then returned to Hongbin Tower to kill the real Wang Youmei and silence her.

In this way, the entire incident was pinned on Wang Youmei, and the real suspect was at large under another identity.

This is based on current evidence.

The person who killed Wang Youmei most likely entered Hongbin Tower with another identity, and then left using the identity of Wang Youmei.

This person must have been in and out of Hongbin Building before, so as not to arouse the attention and suspicion of the clerk. Therefore, he is either a resident of Hongbin Building or a visitor, and among the visitors who stayed overnight the night before the crime yesterday There is suspicion.

Is there a guest next door to Miss Rong?

Yes, after Miss Rong's accident, the guest no longer dared to stay, so I arranged another room for her.

Where's the one who checked out?

Some guests heard that there was a murder and were too scared to stay. They shouted that they wanted to check out. In fact, they just wanted me to lower the rent.

Where are the guests who checked out? Especially who are the guests who checked out on which day you saw Xiao Rong? Luo Yao continued to ask.

Most of the people who check out are short-term tenants. I don't have many tenants checking out at the end of the day. I have records here. Boss Yao hurriedly looked through the records.
