Chapter 8: Finding the Trace
Shen Hanwen and Loach both went back to rest, but Chu Lingyun did not leave.
The place he lives in is a single dormitory, and it is the same whether he goes back or not, sitting at the empty desk, Chu Lingyun rearranged what happened today.
It wasn't long, only one day, but there was quite a bit of what happened.
There was no problem with the arrest in the morning, the man in the felt hat was at the scene, more like monitoring their joints, and when Asakura Ono was caught, he quickly called the Japanese to inform them of all this.
After that, he called Henry again, and the French were very angry when they found out, and the French Concession Patrol Office quickly intervened and asked for Asa Cang Ono.
After learning that it was the man in the felt hat who called, Chu Lingyun understood that this was their rescue method.
If the patrol house in the French Concession could get people, it would be much easier for the Japanese to rescue them from the French than for the military intelligence office.
At present, the Japanese strategy is very successful, but they would never have thought that the man in the felt hat has been exposed, and Chu Lingyun has learned all this.
In addition to these three outcropping people, there is also a key figure, Yang Jian.
Yang Jian is the owner of the house that Chu Lingyun visited just now, and the name registered in the telephone bureau is this, and it is very likely to be a pseudonym.
This is a more important person, and it can be seen from the content of the felt hat man's phone call that he is reporting to Yang Jian and obeying the next command, this Yang Jian's identity is higher than that of the felt hat man.
In addition to Asakō Ono and Endo Yuki on the bright side, there are now felt hat men and Yang Jian hidden in the shadows, if they are all caught, this will definitely be a great merit.
Since the establishment of the entire Military Intelligence Department, it has never caught so many Japanese spies at one time.
After a night of silence, the next morning, the loach received a new task.
He wants to mobilize the people he knows to find a man with a scar in the corner of his eye, about 40 years old, about 1.7 meters tall. Loach is a local, and he knows many people, and he has three sects and nine streams, so Chu Lingyun offered a high reward of 200 yuan for this.
But there is one that needs to be kept secret, and you must not go to find someone with great fanfare, you can only secretly investigate.
The next morning, after arranging the work, Chu Lingyun came to Jinsan Lane.
"Captain, you're here."
Shen Hanwen had already rented the attic of a family opposite, and he also pulled a special telephone line here, and took five team members to take turns to monitor Yang Jian's residence.
There are three people at the front door and two people at the back door, and a camera at the front and back.
"How's it going?"
Chu Lingyun stood in the attic, and through the window, he could clearly see the situation of Yang Jian's residence opposite.
Shen Hanwen replied: "I learned about it through my neighbors. Yang Jian is in his thirties, a painter, he rarely goes out, and there is only one old mother who cooks at home to take care of him. ”
"Keep watching, and call me immediately if anything happens."
Chu Lingyun followed and watched for a while, and there was nothing abnormal on the other side for the time being, and then returned to the Military Intelligence Department after giving the order.
Intelligence work, you must be patient, Wang Yuemin spent a month monitoring Qiancang Xiaoye, Chu Lingyun does not lack this patience, he will stare at this Yang Jian.
In the afternoon, Chu Lingyun didn't go out in the team, and soon after he arrived at work, the phone on the table rang.
"I'm Chu Lingyun, who is it?"
"Boss Chu, I'm Liu Qiang, you told the person we were looking for to repair their shoes here in Datou just now, and Datou found someone to tell me, and I'm here in Datou now."
Liu Qiang, the young man repairing shoes at the intersection of Changtang Road?
Yesterday, Chu Lingyun did give an explanation to him, and asked him to tell all the shoe-shiners in the city, no matter who meets someone with a scar in the corner of his eye, he can call him, and he will give a reward of twenty yuan if he finds someone.
At that time, Chu Lingyun was not sure that the man in the felt hat was related to the Japanese, and the reward given was not much, and it was found out when it was close to the evening that the man in the felt hat was the one who reported the news.
"Where are you now?" Chu Lingyun stood up violently.
"I'm here in the Guanjia bean skin in Qiuhai Old Street, and the big shoe stall is here."
"Wait for me there, don't run around."
Chu Lingyun hung up the phone and called the three team members to go out with him. The man in the felt hat appeared, and Chu Lingyun's casual arrangement yesterday had a miraculous effect.
Located in the west of the city, Qiu Hai Street is a slum area with mostly low-rise yurt houses and narrow streets.
Because the rent here is cheap and there are many people living in it, the population here is not large.
After Chu Lingyun arrived, he soon saw the shoe stall that Liu Qiang said, in a conspicuous position, Liu Qiang was also there, wearing a big apron, and was talking to the big-headed man who was also wearing an apron.
"Boss Chu." Liu Qiang saw Chu Lingyun and immediately stood up.
"Follow me."
There were a lot of people near the shoe stall, Chu Lingyun looked around, took Liu Qiang back to the car, and closed the curtain in the car.
"Boss Chu, after you ordered yesterday, I spread the news to everyone in the evening, and this afternoon, the big head asked someone to pass a message to me, saying that a person who was very similar to what I said came to repair his shoes, I immediately ran over, and after confirming that it was yesterday's person, I called you."
After getting into the car, Liu Qiang still looked a little nervous and immediately explained.
Hearing him say this, Chu Lingyun's heart tightened violently: "How did you confirm his identity?" ”
Liu Qiang seemed to understand Chu Lingyun's worries, and said: "Don't worry, he won't be suspicious, there are also my customers here, and I happened to come to deliver shoes to an old customer." When I arrived, the big man had already repaired his shoes, and I followed him and peeked at him, who was indeed the one who repaired his shoes the day before yesterday. ”
"Are you sure he didn't find you?" Chu Lingyun asked again.
"No, absolutely not, I often come here to deliver shoes, and many neighbors know me."
Liu Qiang shook his head, making Chu Lingyun's heart let go of a lot, the four Japanese spies that Chu Lingyun has found so far, the man in the felt hat is the only one who is off the line and hiding in the shadows, if he can be found, the case will be much clearer.
"Okay, when you find someone, you and Datou will each be rewarded with a hundred yuan."
Chu Lingyun said with a smile, Chu Lingyun is not a stingy person, since the reward offered by the loach is two hundred yuan, Liu Qiang helped him find someone, and he can also get this amount of reward.
"Each, one hundred per person."
Liu Qiang's eyes widened, what he said yesterday was still twenty, and whoever found it to whom, he didn't expect that the reward for the big head not only doubled several times, but he also had a reward of one hundred yuan.
"What, don't want to?" Chu Lingyun smiled.
"Yes, yes, thank you boss, thank you boss."
Liu Qiang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and he was a gesture and a thank you.
He shines and repairs shoes, and earns more than ten yuan a month, and at most a dozen yuan for good ones, which is already considered a high income in many shoe stalls.
Chu Lingyun directly gave him a reward of one hundred yuan, which was equivalent to more than half a year's net income.
This is a windfall, keep it for the Chinese New Year, you will definitely be able to have a fat year, and now you can also pull some cloth for your wife and children and help them make two new clothes.
In addition, you can buy some meat to improve your food, so that your wife and children can enjoy it.
Liu Qiang took Chu Lingyun and came to a small alley.
He just came to determine if the person the big head was talking about was the one Chu Lingyun was looking for, after all, he was the only one who had seen the appearance of a man in a felt hat.
It was Chu Lingyun who didn't see it clearly at the beginning, and only noticed the scar at the corner of his eye.
