Returning to the Military Intelligence Office, Chu Lingyun first went to Wang Yuemin's office, straightened his clothes and hair at the door, and then knocked on the door.
"Come in." Wang Yuemin's voice came from inside, but it sounded weak.
"Stationmaster, the person has been sent to the patrol room. Gao Zhengliang, the Chinese detective in the patrol room, said that the Japanese may ransom him."
Chu Lingyun stood in front of Wang Yuemin's desk and gave a simple and clear report.
"It's up to them. You don't have to tell me this. You've been busy all day, so go and have a rest."
Wang Yuemin is rubbing his head. He is in a bad mood and is getting worse.
This time, the espionage operation, which he personally supervised and paid close attention to every step of the way, ended up making a big mistake. Now he is having a headache on how to report the results to the director in Nanjing.
Now he is extremely regretful. Why did he want to take credit for telling the headquarters about the news in advance when there was no result before? However, it got the attention of Virgo.
As a result, he couldn't get up or get down. If Virgo knew that he messed up, he would definitely not be able to run away after being scolded.
"Webmaster, I think this eucalyptus can be followed by another one. Think about it, why are the joints of commercial espionage so secretive? This is not in line with the norm."
Chu Lingyun said in a low voice that Wang Yuemin was really good to Chu Lingyun. If anyone else dared to say this in front of him at this time, they would definitely be yelled out by him.
Wang Yuemin waved his hand feebly: "You can follow if you want, but don't waste too much energy on this thing."
"Yes, stationmaster, I'll go out first."
Wang Yuemin was in a bad mood. Chu Lingyun didn't say anything to him, but gently closed the door for him and left quickly.
Returning to his office, as he came in, the originally lively chatter immediately turned into silence.
Chu Lingyun understood that this was because they had not truly accepted him. Before, Chu Lingyun was too arrogant and did not take these subordinates seriously. After time travel, he could only change everything slowly.
"Ring ring ring"
Not long after I came back, the phone on the desk rang. There was only one phone in the whole big office, and it was on Chu Lingyun's desk.
Chu Lingyun answered the phone and said in a deep voice: "I'm Chu Lingyun, who is this?"
"Captain, I am Ni Loach. I have found out what you told me. The patrol room only asked us for this person after receiving a complaint from Henry, the owner of Bei Xi Yang Company."
Henry, the boss of Bessie & Co., how did he know about the arrest of Asa Ono? And how did he know that he was a commercial spy?
Although the arrests in the morning were not small, this era is not the online world of later generations. Every little thing can spread all over the world in an instant. Moreover, the noodle shop where the arrest was located is not close to the French Concession.
"Work harder and continue to investigate how Henry knew about this."
Chu Lingyun told Ni Loach that although Ni Loach was tactful, he was very flexible and well-informed. Among the fourteen members of the third team, he had the strongest ability to gather information.
"Yes, captain, I'll go check it out right away."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Lingyun opened the file in front of him and looked through the contents carefully.
After he left Wang Yuemin's office, he specifically went to Wang Jialiang to ask for the dossier. He had already received Wang Yuemin's approval and could continue to work with him. There was no problem in getting the dossier.
Wang Jialiang was worried about this project. Chu Lingyun was willing to take over the job, so he directly gave the file to him.
Asano Ono is an employee of Bei Xi Mao Co., and the information he passed this time is also Bei Xi Mao Co.'s purchase information. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it. This is a very simple business leak.
But since Chu Lingyun has suspicions, he will not let go of any clues.
He quickly discovered the problem. Chu Lingyun pulled out the information paper they had met in the morning and stared at the content on it.
This business information is very simple, only the purchase quantity and price of Bei Xi Yang's cars, gasoline and cigars.
However, the people in the intelligence team did not verify whether these three products were actually available at Bei Xi Yang Company and whether the prices were as stated in the intelligence.
Since Yamada Hiroyuki stole this information, he must have the same products, otherwise what would he do with such information? The intelligence team also did not verify this.
This was definitely an oversight by the intelligence team, not only them, but also Wang Yuemin. After learning that what they had captured was a commercial spy, Wang Yuemin and Wang Jialiang got confused and carelessly ignored these doubts.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. There was still time in the afternoon, so he immediately shouted: "Hanwen, come here."
Shen Hanwen suddenly stood up from his seat and quickly came to Chu Lingyun's desk.
"Take a few brothers and go to the Beixi Company in the French Concession immediately to check what products they sell. The focus is on three commodities: cars, gasoline and cigars. Try to find out as much as possible their recent purchases.
and purchase price.”
Chu Lingyun ordered that the most suitable person to investigate these is Ni Loach, but Ni Loach has other tasks at this time, so he can only let other people investigate first.
"Yes, Captain." Shen Hanwen stood up straight, saluted directly and accepted the mission.
After thinking for a while, Chu Lingyun said again: "Don't reveal your identity during the investigation. Investigate secretly. If you can't find it, come back early. Don't delay the dinner party in the evening."
Chu Lingyun will continue to investigate this embarrassment, but cannot alert the enemy.
"I understand, captain, don't worry, I will never let them know that someone is investigating them."
Shen Hanwen's repeated assurances made Chu Lingyun feel relieved and asked him to take the two of them and return quickly.
Bei Xi Yangxing asked Shen Hanwen to verify it, and Chu Lingyun handed over the task of investigating Yamada Yangxing to two other team members.
Compared with Beixi & Co., the investigation of Yamada & Co. is much simpler. It is enough to find out what goods they sell.
Just verifying the authenticity of their business intelligence was not enough. Chu Lingyun continued to look through the files to see if he could find more flaws and clues.
According to the records in the file, Asakou Ono was targeted by the intelligence team because he had previously inquired about warships at the dock.
But he didn't get any useful information at that time. Asano Ono is a Japanese and works in a French company. Arresting him hastily without evidence will easily lead to diplomatic disputes. The intelligence team's talents are taking a long-term view to catch big fish and secretly investigate him.
.
But when I was following him, I was actually thrown away by him several times.
The hard work paid off. After a month of surveillance, the intelligence team finally made a big harvest. They obtained the information he wanted to meet this morning and got the time and place of the meeting.
