For several days in a row, there has been no progress in the Zhang Bai case and the traitor case. Recently, fewer people have come to see Chu Lingyun. Everyone is quietly waiting for the results.
He Nian abided by the agreement and never took the initiative to inquire about the progress of the case. He only waited for Chu Lingyun to report to him.
"Ling Ling Ling"
Three days later in the afternoon, Chu Lingyun was in the office when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Team leader, I have gained a lot."
As soon as he picked up the phone, the excited cry of a loach came from over there. Chu Lingyun's heart was moved and he whispered: "Don't be so excited, speak slowly."
"Yes, team leader."
Loach calmed down and continued: "Just now, we monitored the people who were communicating with Zhang Bai. The people who came asked Zhang Bai, and Shanghai sent a message to ask if Crocodile had received a mission to go to Shanghai, and why it hadn't been completed yet.
Mission."
Crocodile?
Another codename came up. This crocodile was probably Jiang Binghui. Jiang Binghui was originally going to Shanghai, but they intercepted him and captured him at the train station. He hadn't appeared in Shanghai for a long time, so it was normal for people there to ask questions.
"Then what?"
Loach said quickly: "Zhang Bai said that Crocodile had received his instructions and should have gone to Shanghai long ago. He didn't know the specific situation."
"Keep an eye on the person who's talking to Zhang Bai, I'll be there right away."
Zhang Bai's gaze was not in vain. In just a few days, someone showed up. No matter who the person was or what his identity was, he was definitely a spy.
Moreover, this Japanese spy can contact Shanghai, indicating that he most likely owns a radio station.
As for Zhang Bai, he may not have a radio station. After all, Japanese people don’t trust outsiders, and his wife was married halfway, and they don’t even have children.
"Yes, team leader."
Chu Lingyun hung up the phone and took the people out. Now he attaches great importance to his own safety. Unless there is something special, he usually takes a few subordinates with him.
"Team leader."
Arriving at the monitoring point behind Deyuan Pond, Loach was waiting for him at the door.
"Play me the recording just now."
Entering the room, Chu Lingyun said immediately, and Loach hurriedly asked someone to make room for Chu Lingyun and played the previous monitoring recording.
The recording was indeed clear and lived up to his legal currency.
Chu Lingyun bought all the best monitoring equipment. Anyway, it was reimbursed by the department, so it didn’t cost him anything.
There was nothing unusual at first. It was Zhang Bai’s old customer who came and asked Zhang Bai for a pedicure.
After repairing for a while, the visitor suddenly lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Shanghai asked, why hasn't the crocodile taken action yet?"
Zhang Bai's voice was also very soft, and you couldn't hear it clearly even if you didn't pay close attention: "The crocodile took over the task more than ten days ago. Normally, it should have been completed long ago."
"I don't know. Shanghai said Yan Kui'an is still alive."
"Crocodiles rarely make mistakes. Did Shanghai say anything about Yan Kui'an's recent situation?"
"No, they think our mission failed."
"I will send out a signal to ask the crocodile to come to see me, but if he is not in Nanjing, I will not be able to contact him."
Zhang Bai said again, and Chu Lingyun noticed a new character appearing inside, Yan Kui'an.
Jiang Binghui was probably going to assassinate Yan Kui'an, but because he was caught by himself, the mission failed. However, Japan has not yet figured out the situation.
The customer whispered: "Okay, if he is not in Nanjing, he may still be in Shanghai, or the task is more troublesome, and he has not taken action yet."
"I suspect something may have happened to the crocodile. He is very smart and decisive. If he cannot solve the problem within seven days, he will not take action by force, but will come back to me."
Zhang Bai's voice was extremely low, and there was no emotion audible, but his judgment was correct. If the crocodile was Jiang Binghui, something had indeed happened.
Jiang Binghui is still being held in the prison of the Military Intelligence Department. Chu Lingyun uses his own people to guard him, not the people from the interrogation department. The interrogation department still doesn’t know who Jiang Binghui is.
After learning from Wuhan Gao Yi, there might be a traitor in the department. Before the case was closed, Chu Lingyun acted very carefully.
"What should we do next?" the customer asked again.
"Contact Shanghai first and ask them to inquire about Yan Kui'an's recent situation. Please wait for me to hear the rest."
"Yes."
The customer responded, and Chu Lingyun listened to this sentence several times. The tone of the customer's answer was that he was accepting an order, indicating that this customer is likely to be one of Zhang Bai's downlines.
It was confirmed that Zhang Bai was a spy. He kept an eye on Zhang Bai and discovered one of his subordinates. Now two spies were on Chu Lingyun's plate.
When to eat them depends on whether more Japanese spies will appear next.
"Has the customer's identity been verified?"
After Chu Lingyun listened to the recording twice, he took off his headphones and asked Loach.
"I found out that his name is Ma Jingyuan, and he is the owner of a bookstore nearby."
Bookstore?
Chu Lingyun immediately thought of Jiang Binghui pretending to be a writer and often buying books.
"Loach, go and find out what books are in his store and who often goes to buy books from him, especially people who stay for a long time when buying books."
"Yes, team leader."
Checking the customers of a bookstore is not an easy task. Nanjing is the capital of the country and there are many people who can read. This is not the era of the Internet explosion in later generations. Mobile phones can solve many things, so people rarely enter bookstores.
In this era, there is no TV, no Internet, only radios and books. People who can read basically like to read books and newspapers, and there are many customers entering bookstores.
Moreover, many people like to browse books in bookstores without buying them, and it takes a long time to read them. This way, Loach needs to investigate more people.
Chu Lingyun returned to the office with the surveillance records.
"Hanwen, you go and investigate a person right away. His name is Yan Kui'an. He is currently in Shanghai. Just find out his identity."
I called Shen Hanwen. Niyi wanted to investigate Ma Jingyuan, Chu Yuan was investigating the traitor case, and the task of investigating Yan Kui'an could only be left to Shen Hanwen.
Fortunately, I just wanted to inquire about this person, and I don’t need much detailed information.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Lingyun took out Jiang Binghui's previous surveillance records. During Shen Hanwen's surveillance period, Jiang Binghui went to the bookstore three times to buy books, but they were not from Ma Jingyuan's store.
This was monitored by Shen Hanwen, and Jiang Binghui had bought a lot of books before he was monitored. Shen Hanwen had lost him twice. Where did he go the other time?
Taking out the missing surveillance record, Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened slightly.
This record clearly states that after being embarrassed near Wanyuan Road at 4pm, Jiang Binghui returned to his residence at 6:30pm, carrying two new books with him.
There is also a photo in the record. The angle of the photo is good, and you can clearly see the book Jiang Binghui holds under his arm. However, most of it is blocked by Jiang Binghui, and only the word "cry" is exposed.
Chu Lingyun looked at the time. The first time she lost him was six days before he was arrested.
