The four people were riding in a first-class cabin, which was very spacious and comfortable. The people sitting in it were either rich or noble, and even if they spoke, their voices were not loud.
Such an environment allows Chu Lingyun to read the files with peace of mind.
The first thing Chu Lingyun saw was that he went to catch the Japanese spy, but he didn't even know that the Japanese spy had escaped.
This embarrassment makes Virgo furious, but the process is not complicated.
The intelligence department at the headquarters is much stronger than the Wuhan station and has certain capabilities. They found two suspicious persons in the net they cast outside.
These two people have serious identities, but they have been in and out of a Japanese-run newspaper many times.
The Intelligence Section conducted multiple inquiries, followed and monitored, and finally determined that the two men's true identities were Japanese and that they were real Japanese spies.
At this point, you can continue to stalk, or you can close the net and catch people.
Xu Yi, the chief of the Intelligence Section, was a bit greedy and followed him for a while. After finally confirming that there was nothing else to gain, he decided to take action. The person who carried out the operation was a team from the Action Section. The entire team was dispatched, but in the end they failed.
Afterwards, Xu Yi shied away the responsibility, accusing the Operations Department of leaking the information. He Nian naturally refused. On the contrary, he said that it was their Intelligence Department that had made a loophole. Both sides blamed each other, which made Virgo very angry.
It is unclear from the file whether the mistake was made by the Intelligence Department or the Operations Department, but the two spies did escape, and they ran away under layers of surveillance. Afterwards, the Operations Department carefully searched the residences of the two spies.
, and no tunnel was found.
It was very strange that two big living people just disappeared.
Chu Lingyun read this file carefully three times before opening another file.
This file contains the time when a Japanese spy was killed. At that time, Xu Yi issued a military order to the director that the Japanese spy would be caught. After that, the entire intelligence department was mobilized and finally locked in another suspected Japanese spy.
But during the operation, the other side was well prepared. Liu Wannian, the leader of the second operation team who took action, had no choice but to order a storm and eventually killed the Japanese spy. Two of his brothers were also killed.
This news made Virgo even more angry. It was after this news that he had no choice but to invite Secretary Qi to drink, and then the matter of poaching Chu Lingyun to the headquarters came about.
Chu Lingyun didn't know what happened next, but after reading the file of this case twice, Chu Lingyun immediately opened the spy case and quickly turned to one of the pages.
"At 6 p.m. on April 29, the second operation team received three smoke grenades, ten grenades, and six spears."
In "The Missing Japanese Spy", the time for the operation was set when the two went out the next morning, and the people in the operations department had withdrawn some weapons and equipment in advance.
Everyone usually carries a pistol, and what needs to be taken is something that can be used temporarily during operations.
In Kill the Japanese Spy, there is a similar description, but the time is different.
"At 12 noon on May 12th, the action group received two smoke bombs, six grenades, and four spears."
Looking at these two descriptions alone, there is no problem. What Chu Lingyun cares about is time. The operation time to kill the Japanese spy is three o'clock in the afternoon. It is a temporary withdrawal of equipment. The missing Japanese spy was moved one day in advance.
After receiving the equipment one day in advance, the spy disappeared. After receiving the equipment temporarily, the spy discovered their intention. Is there some connection between them?
Chu Lingyun never believed in coincidences. The more coincidence there was, the more detailed investigation was needed.
Continuing to read, in the story about capturing a traitor, the equipment was also collected in advance, but this time there was no surprise. The traitor was successfully captured, but only one traitor was captured, which obviously did not satisfy Virgo.
The spies confessed by the traitors have long since disappeared without a trace.
Chu Lingyun put down the file, lay on the chair with his head raised, closed his eyes and thought.
The Equipment Department is a department within the headquarters. Unlike the Wuhan Station, the Equipment Department and the General Affairs Department are merged together.
Chu Lingyun could understand this. After all, the headquarters was very big and the equipment department was very well-oiled. After being separated from the general affairs department, it could arrange more and better manpower.
But what if someone in the equipment department collaborates with the enemy?
When the Operations Department receives equipment, the people in the Equipment Department must know that there is an operation. If there is an enemy traitor in the Equipment Department and the target of the operation is detected, the spies can be notified in advance and allowed to move quickly.
In this case, there will be reasonable explanations for the missing Japanese spy and the killing of the Japanese spy.
The missing Japanese spy received the equipment one day in advance, so the traitor had enough time to notify people. However, due to the tight time limit for the killed Japanese spy, the spy was unable to evacuate safely, and in the end had to choose to resist tenaciously.
As for the third one, he is a traitor in his own right, so he may be caught without any risk notification.
After all, once notified, the risk increases by one level.
This possibility is not impossible. Chu Lingyun knows as much about Japanese spies as the people at the headquarters. He is deeply aware of the cunning of Japanese spies.
The Wuhan station was established only a short time ago, and Gao Yi appeared there. The headquarters had been established for a while, and this was Nanjing. Chu Lingyun would never believe that Japanese spies did not place lurkers here at the headquarters.
Perhaps these two agents, the Intelligence Division and the Operations Division, did not make any mistakes, but failed because of the traitor's tip-off.
This is just Chu Lingyun's own idea, and there is no evidence at all, it is pure speculation. Moreover, if a traitor is involved, you must be cautious. You cannot point to anyone without any evidence, otherwise it will cause endless trouble.
But this is indeed a small doubt that Chu Lingyun found after looking through the files.
However, there is one thing that Chu Lingyun has not thought clearly about. If there is really a traitor in the equipment department, how does he know the specific target of the operation?
The intelligence department is different from others in that matters related to intelligence and operations need to be kept strictly confidential.
If he doesn't know the target of the operation, no matter how he informs it, it will be of no use. Chu Lingyun believes that there must be many Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing. After all, this is the capital of the country, different from Wuhan.
The Japanese spies in Wuhan have relatively short lurking time, but Nanjing is different. If there are Japanese spies lurking here for more than ten years, Chu Lingyun will not feel any surprise.
It is impossible for Japanese spies to ask everyone to evacuate because of the slightest disturbance. In that case, they would not have to do anything. Everyone would run away, and what would they do?
Closing his eyes to rest his mind, Chu Lingyun continued to think from his perspective.
If he is the traitor in the equipment department, what method can he use to detect the specific target of the operation?
First of all, Chu Lingyun excluded the members who participated in the operation. If there was a traitor or internal agent among them, the spy would know the news in advance and make appropriate arrangements without waiting until the end.
In this way, there will be no casualties in the end. To the Japanese spies, these latent agents are precious, and they are not willing to lose any of them.
Apart from them, who else can know the specific target of the action?
The higher-ups at the headquarters must know, such as Virgo, Xu Yi and New Year greetings, but they cannot leak any secrets. If even they cannot be trusted, no one in the headquarters can be trusted.
According to his guess, he must find someone who is not high-level but has access to these confidential information.
Chu Lingyun suddenly opened his eyes, and he thought of a department, the Confidentiality Department.
