He Zhichu frowned, and his voice was cold. "What's with this photo?!"
"… It was secretly taken by someone. That's the address of the person who took the photos. "Gu Nianzhi hesitated. She didn't know if she should tell them about Wen Shouyi.
However, if he mentioned Wen Shouyi, it would implicate Xie Qingying.
It was better not to alert the enemy.
As long as they caught the person who took the photos, Wen Shouyi would not be able to escape.
However, He Zhichu still asked suspiciously, "… How did you get a photo?"
"Someone sent it to me." Gu Nianzhi sighed. "It's a long story. Young Master He, let's capture him first."
He Zhichu immediately said, "I'll get the police to arrest them."
Gu Nianzhi advised again, "We don't need to call the police for this, right? You're a major general. Being secretly photographed may involve national security issues. Can't you handle it yourself? "
With just one sentence, Gu Nianzhi had turned this incident from an ordinary case of a jealous man and woman secretly filming a romantic scene into a political incident.
It was only when it became a political matter related to national security that He Zhichu could properly intervene.
That was because his current position was similar to Huo Shaoheng's position over there. However, he did not have a special operations forces like the one over there. Instead, he had a special force under the command of the Supreme Staff Officer Department.
He Zhichu understood and said with a smile, "Nianzhi, you're so smart. Alright, I'll take some people and go catch them myself."
He got up and changed into his military uniform. He called for his most capable team and took a special car to the apartment complex across from Gu Nianzhi's.
In order to prevent the other party from noticing, they entered the district through the back door and guarded all the exits.
When they arrived at the lobby of the building, He Zhichu sent a few people to guard the elevator entrance on the first floor while he led them into the elevator.
The security measures in this building weren't as strict as those in Gu Nianzhi's apartment. She didn't need a special card to enter the elevator.
He Zhichu followed the address Gu Nianzhi gave him and quickly arrived at the floor.
They crept noiselessly round the room in which the man resided.
When everyone was in position, He Zhichu made a gesture.
The youngest member of their team came and knocked on the door.
The man behind the door was fiddling with his camera equipment.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, he felt that something was wrong.
He was a very watchful man, and had been rigorously trained.
As soon as he heard the knock on the door, he immediately turned on his phone and looked at the situation at the door.
He modified the peephole on the door into a surveillance device and connected it to his phone so that he could keep track of the surrounding situation at all times.
As soon as he saw those people standing at the door with a murderous aura, his heart thumped. He knew that there was indeed a problem.
He hurriedly stood up and rushed into his darkroom. He threw all the photos and films that had been developed or had not yet been developed into a stainless steel trash can and lit a fire.
Tongues of flame sprang up, swallowing the negatives and photos in an instant.
Feeling relieved, he came out of the dark room and heard a loud bang from the door. Someone had kicked the door open.
Several people wearing bulletproof vests and carrying rifles rushed in.
The man reflexively raised his hands and retreated step by step.
He walked backward across the length of the living room and out onto the terrace through the open glass door.
The balconies here were all enclosed, but they were protected by pieces of glass windows.
He stood in front of the glass window and looked at them nervously with his hands raised.
He Zhichu walked up from behind the soldiers with guns and looked at him coldly. He raised his hand and waved. "This man is suspected of secretly photographing a major general in the army and endangering national security. Take him away. "
The man's heart sank. He didn't understand how he had been exposed so quickly …
Could it be that Wen Shouyi had betrayed him?
The man's mind raced as he thought of several ideas in an instant, but none of them worked.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly lowered his raised hands. He put one hand into his trouser pocket as if he was going to take something out.
The guards standing next to He Zhichu in charge of his safety didn't hesitate to shoot first.
This was an important part of their training.
Like the American police, when faced with a criminal suspect who was likely to fight back with a gun, the first element was to strike first.
They had a saying, "It's better to be accused standing than to be carried out lying down."
Guns were banned in the Huaxia Empire, so the police here didn't need to be as frightened as the American police during their missions.
However, the enemies He Zhichu and the others faced weren't ordinary bandits, but spies or traitors with close ties to foreign countries.
Most of these people had guns hidden on them.
Therefore, when the man lowered his hands and took something out of his trouser pocket, the guards next to He Zhichu immediately opened fire.
His marksmanship was very accurate. Bang! Bang! The two shots hit the man's arms on both sides.
The man's entire body shook and he almost fainted from the pain.
His arms hung limply by his side, and he didn't have the strength to do anything else.
He glared at He Zhichu, then bit off the poison hidden in his teeth and swallowed it.
"I advise you not to resist pointlessly," He Zhichu said coldly as he ordered his soldiers, "Search!"
The guards who had followed him in immediately split into groups of three and went to the other rooms in the apartment.
The man standing in front of the French windows on the balcony in the living room didn't even wait for He Zhichu's subordinates to walk over before a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He revealed a pitiful and strange smile. His legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
"He actually committed suicide by poison? As expected, he wasn't an ordinary photographer. " He Zhichu sneered and raised his hand. "Call the police, then search his body. Also, take a sample of the poison in his mouth and bring it back for analysis."
He Zhichu walked around the man's apartment.
His subordinates found the dark room, but there was nothing else except for the washing equipment and medicine.
There were still ashes in the stainless steel trash can, showing that the man had destroyed all the evidence.
Not long after, the police in the police car arrived.
They arrived at the man's apartment and were shocked to see the scene.
However, after examining the man, they found that although he had been shot in the arm, it wasn't a fatal wound. The real fatal factor was the poison in his mouth.
He Zhichu tilted his head, and his guards threw a recorder to the police. "This is everything that happened after we came in. He committed suicide to escape punishment. As for the specific reason, the police will have to investigate. "
The police officer who led the team recognized He Zhichu's face. He quickly took it with both hands and asked in confusion, "Young Master He, did someone report him? What did he do? "
He Zhichu nodded. "Someone found out that he was secretly filming my whereabouts and suspected that he might be a spy. We came to investigate, but not only did he attempt to resist, but he also committed suicide to escape punishment. "
The detail of having poison hidden in the teeth in his mouth was a standard for spies. Nowadays, some vicious suspects also did the same because they didn't want to be arrested.
The police officer immediately saluted and said, "Don't worry, Chief! We'll investigate immediately! "
The apartment had already been searched by He Zhichu's men, but they found nothing.
He Zhichu didn't stay any longer. He left the place to the police and left with his men.
He came out of the building and saw the apartment complex where Gu Nianzhi lived not far away. He felt that something was wrong.
Who was the one who sent those photos to her?
Why had it been sent to her? Why hadn't it been sent to him?
He Zhichu waved his hand and asked his personal secretary to bring the soldiers back to the base. However, he called Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi quickly picked up. "Young Master He? How is it? "
The street lights in the neighborhood were very bright, illuminating the surroundings as if it was daytime.
On the night of the 15th, the moon was as round as a piece of fine white jade. It emitted a soft light and illuminated the entire night sky.
He Zhichu wore a Bluetooth headset and spoke to Gu Nianzhi as he walked towards her apartment complex. He said aloofly, "Who sent you the photo? The person who took the photo is not ordinary. "
"Huh? I knew it! "Gu Nianzhi was surprised and delighted." Did you catch him? "
"… No, he committed suicide by taking poison."
Gu Nianzhi's heart sank.
The crime of taking a photo secretly wasn't punishable by death. Why did this person commit suicide?
She knew that the importance of this matter had increased, so she didn't hide it anymore. She said, "Wen Shouyi sent these two photos to Cousin Xie, and Cousin Xie forwarded them to me."
