Yu Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. We just found out about her and reported it to you. It is said that this Miss Zhang rarely interacts with her neighbors, but that's normal. Most of the people living here are refugees who fled to Chongqing from other places, but they are relatively wealthy and have some assets. Many people don't interact with each other and are busy with their own lives. But you are right, this Miss Zhang is very beautiful and many people know her, so we found her quickly. Chief, it should be her!"
"Let's sneak in first and see if she's still there. If she's cautious enough, she's probably already gone. We can't just sit here doing nothing," Ning Zhiheng thought for a moment and then decisively ordered.
"Arrest them!"
"yes!"
Yu Cheng waved his hand, and soon several figures appeared behind him, sneaking towards a room on the second floor of the building. They moved nimbly and quickly reached the window. A team member gently pried open the window latch, and soon the window opened, and several people quietly slipped inside.
A short while later, the door opened, and a team member rushed over to report, "Chief, section chief, there's no one inside, but everything is neatly packed, and there are signs of items being disposed of. The person must have run away!"
Despite having anticipated this possibility, Ning Zhiheng was still quite disappointed. This opponent was too shrewd and didn't give them a chance.
"Let's go take a look."
Ning Zhiheng strode forward, arrived at the door of the room, and stepped inside.
This was a spacious room with nice decorations, complete with a bedroom and bathroom. However, in the middle of the room was an iron basin containing a lot of ashes from a fire. Ning Zhiheng went over and touched it; both the iron basin and the ashes were ice-cold.
Looking around, I saw that all the drawers of the table were open and empty.
"Section Chief, look here..."
Ning Zhiheng and Yu Cheng walked towards the bedroom upon hearing the sound. The team member pointed to a corner where there was a safe.
Yu Cheng quickly instructed, "Find the tools to open it."
Ning Zhiheng, however, held little hope. All signs indicated that Miss Zhang had made a prepared retreat, and all valuables had been burned. The safe was probably empty as well.
He didn't say anything and began searching the room for clues, but the room was spotless and the other party hadn't left anything of value.
The wardrobe contained many high-end clothes, but the dressing box next to it was empty. The shoe cabinet also contained a number of exquisite women's shoes, indicating that Ms. Zhang was quite well-off.
Yu Cheng walked up to Ning Zhiheng in disappointment and said, "Chief, we found nothing. This woman is so quick. She killed someone and then left. She threw away the identity she had cultivated for half a year without any hesitation. She's a really troublesome character."
Ning Zhiheng sneered: "The fact that this woman could kill such an important intelligence agent as Gu Zhengqing without hesitation shows her ruthlessness. She is indeed a good opponent."
He went to the window and looked down. The location and angle were excellent; even an ordinary person could clearly see the situation at the Huaqing Hotel across the street. If he had binoculars, it would be even better.
It seems his previous judgment was correct; things weren't as complicated as he thought. Gu Zhengqing went to room 202, opened the window, and Miss Zhang could see him from her home through the window and then meet him—it was both safe and convenient.
Just then, his gaze inadvertently drifted to his right and he suddenly noticed a solitary, upturned pavilion less than thirty meters from the window, its height slightly lower than the window itself.
Ning Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to call out to Yu Cheng: "Old Yu, come and take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Cheng rushed over. Ning Zhiheng pointed to the pavilion and asked, "I remember that one of the surveillance points you chose yesterday was this pavilion in the residential area. Is this the pavilion?"
Yu Cheng followed Ning Zhiheng's finger and looked in the direction he was pointing. When he saw the pavilion, his expression changed immediately. He finally realized where the problem lay!
