The car drove all the way into the French Concession and came to the door of the patrol room.

There were several patrols waiting for Chu Lingyun outside the gate, and the leader was a man in his thirties, wearing a black patrol uniform, who greeted Chu Lingyun with a smile when he saw Chu Lingyun get out of the car.

"But Captain Chu is here, and he is under Gao Zhengliang."

The man saluted Chu Lingyun with a fist, and Chu Lingyun returned a military salute.

"I'm Chu Lingyun, hello Inspector Gao."

Chu Lingyun had never met Gao Zhengliang before, but he had heard of him, the Chinese detective in the French Concession, who was very powerful in the French Concession and won the trust of the French.

"Captain Chu is polite, we will handle the handover now."

Chu Lingyun came to give it away, and Gao Zhengliang didn't be too polite to him, and when Gao Zhengliang signed, Qiancang Xiaoye was officially handed over to their patrol room.

"What are you going to do with Asaka Ono?"

Putting away the documents, Chu Lingyun asked casually, Gao Zhengliang looked around, and sighed slightly: "What else can I do, it depends on the meaning of the top, but Mr. Henry, the owner of Pei Xi Foreign Bank, is very dissatisfied, if the Japanese have a better attitude, they can still redeem people, if it is not good, it is estimated that it will be suspended." ”

"Can the Japanese still redeem people?" Chu Lingyun asked.

Gao Zhengliang nodded and said: "It's not a big case, it's just a commercial espionage, of course it can be ransomed." ”

"I see, thank you Inspector Gao."

Chu Lingyun watched as Qiancang Xiaoye was put into the patrol room by them, and then left, after the car drove out of the French Concession, Chu Lingyun immediately asked the driver to stop, went to a nearby restaurant, and called the team from a public phone.

"I'm Chu Lingyun, let the loach answer the phone."

"Captain, I'm a loach, what do you command?" On the other side of the phone, the voice of a loach soon came.

"You go to the French Concession immediately now, and ask me how the patrol room knew about the arrest of Asakō Ono and where they got the news."

"Don't worry, captain, I'll go now, I'll be able to give you news soon."

The loach got the order and agreed very happily, Chu Lingyun put down the phone and did not return to the team, but asked the driver to take him to the noodle restaurant where he was arrested in the morning.

He came to the place of the man in the felt hat in the morning and looked around.

After a while, he arrived at a shoeshine stand at the crossroads, this shoe-shine stand is not far from the noodle shop, the location is very good, you can see everything in the noodle shop.

If he wants to observe the noodle shop, this location is definitely his first choice.

"Boss, do you shine your shoes?"

The stall owner of the shoeshine stall was a young man, and when he saw Chu Lingyun, he immediately greeted him with a smile, Chu Lingyun looked at the leather shoes on his feet, where he was sitting, and took the initiative to raise his legs to let him shine his shoes.

When you shine your shoes here, you can see everything in the noodle shop just by turning your head.

"Let me tell you, between 8:50 and 9:10 this morning, did you see a man in a black hat around here?"

"Look at what you asked, there are so many people coming and going here, and there are many people with hats, how can I notice them, and I don't have a watch, I don't know the time."

The stall owner quickly wiped his shoes and answered Chu Lingyun's question with a grin.

Chu Lingyun took out a piece of fiat currency from his body, at this time, the fiat currency had just been launched, and it was still very strong, a piece of fiat currency was close to the purchasing power of a silver dollar.

"It's when the noodle restaurant over there arrested people in the morning, you carefully recall the memories and tell me the truth, this dollar is all yours."

"Thank you, boss, I'll think about it." The stall owner took the money and smiled even more: "I remember, a boss with a hat came to me in the morning, he was not shoe polishing, but shoe repair, there was a scar next to his left eye, I asked him what was wrong, he said it was a fall, but I could see that it was not a fall, it was a knife wound." ”

"How can you be sure it's a knife wound?" Chu Lingyun asked with interest.

"Don't hide it from the boss, my family used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, and I can still see what's going on with simple skin trauma, but it's a pity that in my generation, I didn't study hard with my dad when I was a child, and my dad died early, so I can only come out to shine my shoes, otherwise I can become a man and be respected."

While shining his shoes, the stall owner said: "That person saw the noodle restaurant arresting people, and the shoes were not repaired and left, but fortunately he gave the money in advance." ”

After a while, Chu Lingyun polished his leather shoes, his craftsmanship was good, and the leather shoes became shiny after being polished, making Chu Lingyun's whole person look a little more energetic.

Chu Lingyun's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Are you fixed here to shine shoes, or are you here occasionally?" ”

Looking at the 'huge' shoe-shine fee given by Chu Lingyun, the stall owner has to answer all questions: "I have a fixed stall and I also have a mobile one, but this location is good, I don't have to run around to shine people's shoes." ”

"Do you have a lot of shoeshine people?" Chu Lingyun asked again.

"Many, of course many, there are more than 300 shoe-shiners in the whole Hankou, and there are so many people in Hankou who need our shoe-shiners."

"In this way, I'll give you a chance to make money, do you want it?"

Chu Lingyun stood up and stared straight at the stall owner, the stall owner smiled even more, and immediately nodded: "Boss, you are magnificent, you can give me a chance to make money, that is to give me face, of course I want it." ”

Chu Lingyun took out a fountain pen from his pocket, found another piece of paper, and said as he wrote: "You tell all the shoe-shiners that if you see this man with a scar on his left eye again, call this number immediately, and as long as you can find this person, you can get a reward of twenty yuan." ”

After speaking, Chu Lingyun took out another five yuan and handed it to the shoe-shiner.

"These five dollars are given to you as your hard work, but you have to tell them well, just find someone to call, don't say anything else, let alone ask."

"Okay, boss, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it for you, there are twenty yuan to earn, these people are not crazy to find it."

The shoe-shiner wiped his hands first, and happily accepted the five yuan handed over by Chu Lingyun.

He is here to shine shoes, he can only earn a few dollars a day, and now he is just passing a message to his brothers, and this money is too easy to earn.

If he could meet that scarred man, the twenty yuan would be able to earn himself, which was equivalent to making an extra amount of extra money

"You don't have to deliberately look for it, just call when you encounter it, remember, this matter must be kept secret, if something goes wrong, I will only ask you."

When Chu Lingyun spoke, he deliberately exposed the Browning pistol pinned to his waist, and when he saw the gun, the smile on the shoe-shiner's face disappeared instantly.

"Don't worry, boss, I know what to do."

The reason why all the shoe-shiners were mobilized was not a whim.

In what the shoe-shiner said just now, Chu Lingyun noticed a detail, in the morning, the shoes of the man in the felt hat were not completely repaired, so he left in a hurry.

In this case, he may continue to repair shoes at the shoe repair stall.

Even if it can't be found, it won't be a loss for Chu Lingyun, but it's a matter of spending a few more dollars.

After instructing the shoe-shiner, Chu Lingyun got up and returned to the car to return to the military intelligence office.

As for the man in the felt hat who appeared in the morning, in fact, Chu Lingyun was not completely sure that he was an accomplice of Asakō Ono and Yuki Endo, he could only be sure that there must be something wrong with him.

Of course, it is also possible that this person has something behind his back, so he leaves immediately when he sees someone paying attention, but doing intelligence is different from doing other things, and any suspicious point must be paid attention to, even if there is even the slightest suspicion, it must be pursued.

Chu Lingyun didn't think that this person might be a Red Party, so he didn't arrange someone from the Military Intelligence Department to investigate, and it was most appropriate to find peripheral personnel, it was really a Red Party, and he could make proper arrangements so that he would not be injured by mistake.
