Jiang Xinyu pushed the door open and walked in, saying: "Stationmaster, the car to pick up the deputy stationmaster is ready. When should we set off..."
Qiao Mu stood up and said with a smile: "There's no need to pick him up. Deputy Station Director Wu, like me, paid a private visit incognito and came to the door himself!"
"The deputy station chief arrived early?"
When Jiang Xinyu came in, he noticed a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.
Wearing an iron-gray suit, his long back hair was neatly combed, and he looked like a kind-hearted person, always with a light smile on his face.
Qiao Muchai: "Let me introduce to you, the new deputy station chief of Yanjin Station, Colonel Wu Jingrong! Deputy station chief Wu, this is our station's operations captain Jiang Xinyu!"
Jiang Xinyu hurriedly took a step forward, stretched out his hands and said: "Deputy Station Chief Wu, I have long admired you!"
"Oh, you are Jiang Xinyu. I heard about you at the headquarters. You are young and promising!" Wu Jingrong shook hands with Jiang Xinyu. He spoke with an obvious Cantonese accent.
Qiao Mucai smiled and said: "Old Wu, the house has been packed up for you, with all the daily necessities. You can move there today. Oh, by the way, you live very close to Captain Jiang. He lives at No. 7 Gongshi Road.
You are at No. 29, just across a small road!"
Wu Jingrong bowed and said, "Thank you, webmaster, for your trouble!"
"When will the family come to Yanjin?"
"It's expected to arrive next week."
Qiao Mucai glanced at his watch and said: "It's very late today. Early tomorrow morning, I will introduce you to other people in the station! Xinyu, please ask the driver to leave the bus and send Deputy Station Manager Wu home to rest."
Wu Jingrong: "Where will Captain Jiang go later?"
Jiang Xinyu: "Oh, I'm about to go back too."
"That's just right. Captain Jiang will take me back on the way. Is it convenient?"
"Of course it's convenient."
On the way to Gongshi Road, looking at the bustling scene on the street, Wu Jingrong said with emotion: "They say that Shanghai is in the south and Beiyanjin in the south. It seems that this statement is true. It feels no different than big cities in the United States."
Inferior!"
Jiang Xinyu drove the car and said, "The deputy station director has been to the United States?"
“When we were preparing to establish the China-U.S. Cooperation Institute, I was one of the Chinese representatives and accompanied the visiting group to the U.S. Bureau of War Information for on-the-spot inspections.”
"This is an extremely honorable thing. It shows that your status in the headquarters is extraordinary!"
Wu Jingrong smiled and shook his head, then changed the subject and said, "Captain Jiang, I heard that during the reception of Yanjin, some people took advantage of the opportunity and used various means to make money. Is this true?"
Jiang Xinyu looked forward and said with certainty: "Yes!"
Wu Jingrong's eyes flashed and he said: "As far as you know, who are they?"
"Councilor Sun Jiacheng of the City Hall, and Guo Yi, Director of the Anti-Smuggling Department of the General Administration of Customs." The two people Jiang Xinyu mentioned had been investigated and dealt with by the military commander some time ago.
"Besides them?"
"Except for them... oh, the rest are still under investigation. The military command is an intelligence department. I can't make any judgments without conclusive evidence!"
"The police system is very powerful. Are there no corrupt people among them?"
"We haven't found it yet. Why, deputy station chief, do you have any information about this?"
Jiang Xinyu kicked the ball back without leaving a trace. From Wu Jingrong's "guided" conversation, he vaguely guessed what the deputy webmaster wanted to ask. He seemed to be targeting Qiao Muchai!
Whether the higher-ups want to investigate Qiao Muchai or Wu Jingrong's personal intentions, both are possible. At this time, it is best not to express your attitude!
Wu Jingrong laughed dryly and said, "I'm new here. How come I have such information? I'm just asking."
"oh……"
Jiang Xinyu pointed to a white two-story building in front and said, "Deputy stationmaster, that is your new home."
Wu Jingrong stretched his neck and looked around, and said in surprise: "Such a big house..."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "You are the deputy webmaster, so you should live in a house like this based on your rank!"
…………
A week later, Jishantang.
Across the road, about 500 meters northbound, there is a public phone booth.
Jiang Xinyu checked at the telephone exchange and found that this was not only the address for calls to Qiao Muchai, but also the address for calls to Room 10 of the Eurasia Hotel. This result fully demonstrated that his judgment was correct!
In the alley opposite Jishan Hall is the liaison station of the underground party, and it is also the only liaison station that has direct contact with Pei Shaoshi!
There are three people who often come in and out of this contact station, Lao Shan, Fu Gui, and a man named Lu Maocai, whose public identity is the owner of a grocery store.
From Jishantang to here, there is a phone booth in the middle. Assuming that the caller is indeed the judge, he chose to stay far away, naturally to avoid being seen by acquaintances.
At this moment, Jiang Xinyu was sitting in the car, holding a newspaper in his hand to cover his face, his eyes never leaving the phone booth.
He wanted to bet whether the caller would appear again in the near future. In order to find out who the judge was, he could only try this stupid method.
Although it cannot be said that the underground party who comes here to make calls must be the judge, but at least there are clues to investigate, and the three people at the contact station are all suspects!
Jiang Xinyu can only stay here for at most one hour every day for investigating cases. He is the operations captain of Yanjin Station and cannot disappear from others' sight too often.
In that case, before he could find out who the judge was, he himself would be under suspicion.
Today is the third day. Jiang Xinyu is somewhat discouraged. It seems that the judge will not show any flaws in the short term. If he wants to find him, he must find other ways.
He started the car and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards him. It was Lao Shan, the person in charge of the liaison station!
Lao Shan bought a pack of cigarettes on the street, took out a match and lit one, looked around, and then stepped into the phone booth.
Jiang Xinyu thought for a moment, then turned the car and drove towards the telephone exchange.
When he arrived at the telephone office, he went directly to the computer room, found the operator No. 3 who had received him last time, and said: "Fifteen minutes ago, the second public phone booth on the northbound side of Jishantang, check where the call was!"
"Please wait a moment."
A few minutes later, the operator said: "Accounting Department of the Central Bank."
"Central bank?"
"That's the original Bank of Manchuria."
"Oh, I got it."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"No, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jiang Xinyu turned around and walked a few steps, thought for a while, then came back and said, "Remember, this is investigating a secret case, and you are not allowed to reveal a single word. Do you understand?"
The operator said respectfully: "Don't worry, the section chief already told me last time."
When Jiang Xinyu left the computer room, the operator next to him asked: "Xiao He, what does he do?"
The operator Xiao He said with contempt on his face: "Only the devil knows, the section chief didn't tell you, it's mysterious, he's either a spy or a police officer!"
