spy shadow

Chapter 195
"Don't always think about arresting people. You don't even know their true identities. How can you arrest them?"

Chu Lingyun understands that Shen Hanwen is eager to make contributions, and he is a bit unconvinced to be surpassed by Nixie, but there is absolutely no rush in intelligence work, and a slight mistake may lead to a big mistake.

Chu Lingyun was already very careful, but there were also problems.

Du Juan taking poison and Zhang Bai detonating the grenade were all caused by a small problem. If they had been more careful in the first place, maybe these situations would not have happened.

"Leader, I'll just ask."

Shen Hanwen smiled mischievously, and Chu Lingyun stood up: "Take me to see where he works."

Kang Zhenghua was very suspicious, but before the investigation was clear, Chu Lingyun would not arbitrarily identify him as a spy.

The spy is going to be caught, but be cautious, if the wrong person is caught and the real spy is alarmed, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

Kang Zhenghua's firm is located in a good location, surrounded by many foreign firms.

The firm occupies a small three-story building exclusively, the first floor is the facade, and it mainly deals in stationery, mostly Japanese products.

"Team leader, captain, you are here."

There are eight team members guarding here, Kang Zhenghua has serious suspicions, and Shen Hanwen has already been watched by people.

"Is anyone inside?" Chu Lingyun asked.

"Yes, we watched him go in, but he hasn't come out yet."

"What are the second and third floors of this business?" Chu Lingyun asked Shen Hanwen.

Shen Hanwen was startled, and hurriedly said: "Aren't they all foreign firms? The above should be where they live."

Chu Lingyun stared: "Go, find out the situation on their second and third floors, and find out where Kang Zhenghua is now and what he's doing."

Shen Hanwen hurriedly asked his team members to inquire, while he lowered his head.

He was a scout and had only received training for a period of time after being selected into the Military Intelligence Department. He was already in the action team, and he was good at operations, let alone tracking people.

But when it comes to investigating cases, he is indeed inferior to Loach.

No one is perfect, but Shen Hanwen is now the captain, and he will investigate various cases with him in the future. It seems that it is necessary to send him to study, at least he understands the things to pay attention to during the investigation process, and how to investigate various details , otherwise errors are likely to occur.

"Team leader, I found out. They rented the second floor to other Japanese companies. It is the office of a newspaper in Nanjing. The third floor is a dormitory, shared by the two."

"Kang Zhenghua is on the second floor. I just asked about the situation from the Chinese salesperson on the first floor. Kang Zhenghua is his Chinese name. He is a real Japanese. His real name is Benshang Kanghua."

The team members quickly reported that this team member was selected from the Hangzhou Police Training School, and the investigation was good.

"Team leader, he is indeed Japanese."

Shen Hanwen said pleasantly that he really didn't think about going inside to investigate before, and after he identified Kang Zhenghua as a spy, he thought about arresting him and making meritorious service.

Chu Lingyun ignored Shen Hanwen and continued to ask, "What is the name of this newspaper and what exactly does it do?"

"I asked. Their names are a bit of a mouthful. The Chinese salesperson speaks only Japanese, so I don't know the exact name. I only know what it is called News Corp."

"Co., Ltd."

Chu Lingyun continued, this is a Japanese joint-stock company, and Kang Zhenghua is indeed Japanese, but he is not necessarily a spy.

Japanese spies are extremely careful, and they will not let people find out their identities so easily. If they can ask their real identities just by asking, it is probably not.

"Yes, that's the name." The team member said hastily.

"Look up the history of this newspaper, which newspapers they publish, what Kang Zhenghua does in it, and what things have been published."

Chu Lingyun gave another order to Shen Hanwen, and Shen Hanwen hurriedly responded: "Yes, I'll go and investigate right away, and I'll make sure the investigation is clear."

"Don't take any action until you find out."

Chu Lingyun warned again, although Shen Hanwen is obedient, but now he is eager to make meritorious deeds, if he wants to grab meritorious service, he will be very passive if he gets caught.

They are not spies. Randomly arresting such foreign journalists can easily lead to diplomatic disputes.

Their headmaster now attaches the most importance to diplomatic relations. He is very tough internally, but he is soft-footed externally. If something happens to them, they will be scolded everywhere, let alone them.

"Yes."

Shen Hanwen responded hastily, he sent Chu Lingyun away, but his heart was extremely depressed.

He was obviously Japanese, but the team leader didn't arrest him, and he didn't say when he would be arrested. He only asked him to check some peripheral things. I don't know what the team leader thought.

"Team leader, you are back."

As soon as he returned to the office, Chu Yuan knocked on the door from the outside. He also came to report.

"Is the injury healed?" Chu Lingyun asked him casually after asking him to sit down.

"It's been healed for a long time, that little skin injury is nothing." Chu Yuan smiled.

Chu Yuan contributed the most to finding out that Liu Dazhuang was a traitor this time. Taking this opportunity, he was finally mentioned as a second lieutenant and became the official captain of a small team.

Now the entire four teams of the operation can be said to be all under Chu Lingyun's team, and he is here to say the same thing.

"Leader, I checked the more than 100 people in the Neon Club, and I feel that there are two people who are wrong."

"Tell me about them."

Chu Lingyun asked, how come there are so many suspects in a Japanese club, it is impossible for Japan to pay more attention to such a place, at most it only selects traitors who are useful to them.

Members who have no status or role, the Japanese will ignore them.

"One is Fang Wanchao. He is registered as a native of Shanghai. He has been in Nanjing for many years, but he has only moved here for half a year. After asking neighbors, no one knows where he lived before. I went to the police station again. , did not find out his previous address."

It's a bit weird that he lived in Nanjing, but he couldn't find out where he lived before.

"What else is he suspecting?"

Chu Yuan immediately replied: "I found out that he joined the Neon Club five months ago. He went there very frequently in the first two months, but he didn't go there again three months ago."

"What is his job?"

"Fang Wanchao's registered job is a worker, but I went to the factory where he registered to investigate. The people there said that he resigned three months ago, but his neighbors didn't know. He left early and returned late every day. I thought I was still working in the original factory.”

Chu Lingyun got up, took all the membership information, and quickly found Fang Wanchao.

Fang Wanchao is 30 years old. His self-introduction is very ordinary. He didn’t brag too much. He didn’t say that he wanted to join Japan and become a Japanese. He didn’t even give himself a Japanese name. confidence.

"Who else is in his family?"

Fang Wanchao would not live alone. If he was single, Shen Hanwen would have listed him as a suspect before instead of being excluded.

"There is only a dumb and blind old lady in the family. The neighbors reported that he is a dutiful son who takes good care of his old lady and often buys her delicious food."

They lived together, and the other one was still unable to speak, so Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened.

"Keep an eye on him and find out what he does every day. In addition, who he had the most contact with in the Neon Club in the past two months, and what he said, all should be investigated."

"Yes, team leader, does he have serious suspicions?" Chu Yuan couldn't help asking.

"At present, there is a lot of suspicion, but it is not absolute. What's the situation with the other person?"

Chu Yuan reported that there were two suspects, so he only mentioned one.

"The other is Xu Wu. He lives with his family. His identity is not a problem. His family conditions are not bad. He followed his father to Nanjing in his early years. His father was a government employee. Xu Wu was originally a patrolman of the Fifth Branch. However, in the past three months, he has been continuously promoted to deputy sheriff and sheriff, I checked his relationship, and I don’t have a strong background to help him get promoted.”

Another three months.

In such a short period of time, he was promoted to two ranks and became a sheriff, which was impossible with ordinary relationships.

Wang Sheng was able to advance so many levels because of He Nian's help, and it was impossible for him to be promoted so quickly only by Chu Lingyun.

"Check to see if there was any contact between the two, especially three months ago, another person was sent to monitor Xu Wu."

Chu Lingyun quickly gave the order, and Chu Yuan understood that the team leader had doubts about both of them.

"Yes."

Chu Yuan took the order to leave, and after he left, Chu Lingyun dug out the membership information of the two of them.

Xu Wu's self-introduction is quite explicit. Not only does he particularly admire Japan, but he also gave himself a Japanese name, Yamagata Goro.

In his self-introduction, he most admired the Japanese war criminals of the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], who invaded China, Wupeng of Shan County, so he gave himself such a name.

Not only that, but in his self-introduction, he expressed his dislike for Chinese identity, and he really wanted to be a glorious Japanese citizen.

This is a quasi-traitor who is extremely obsequious to foreigners and does not regard himself as a Chinese.

In fact, he has already entered Chu Lingyun's must-kill list. With his attitude, no matter if he is a traitor or not, he will be dealt with before Nanjing falls.

"Wang Sheng, help me to investigate a person, Xu Wu, the police chief of the fifth branch, and find out what he has done in the past three months, and why he was promoted to the police chief so quickly."

Chu Lingyun made a phone call to Wang Sheng, this is the benefit of having someone of his own at the police station.

If you have something to do, you can order it directly, and you don't have to worry about the other party being dishonest and not being able to find what you want.

"Yes, Chief Chu, I'm in the fifth branch, and I'll check him right away."

Wang Sheng is still checking the photos. There are millions of people in Nanjing. Even if there is an age range, it is not easy to find a wild cat among so many people. He has been busy with this matter these days.

"Keep it secret, don't let him know."

Chu Lingyun hung up the phone after giving instructions, and picked up Fang Wanchao's information.

Fang Wanchao is a worker, and he writes about skilled workers, but even if he is a skilled worker, his income is not too high. The membership fee of the Neon Club is only five yuan, and ordinary people will not join such a club at will.

Chu Yuan found out that his daughter-in-law died of illness a few years ago, leaving no children behind, and now he has a blind old woman who can't speak, and he doesn't want to save money to marry a wife, so why join such a club?
His daily life has nothing to do with Japan at all.

Fang Wanchao's suspicion was much heavier than that of Kang Zhenghua who Shen Hanwen was eyeing.

It is still under investigation. It cannot be said who is a spy and who is not. Everything has to wait for the results of the investigation.

However, with a clear goal of investigation, they can quickly find out if there is any problem. All Chu Lingyun has to do is wait patiently.

Shen Hanwen was the first to come back. His investigation was not difficult, and he quickly found out the situation of the Japanese newspaper.

"Team leader, that newspaper is called Mainichi Shimbun. Its headquarters is in Japan, and it has quite a big influence. They have offices in Shanghai and Nanjing. They mainly collect our domestic news and publish it in their newspaper."

"I checked Kang Zhenghua. He had written several reports before. I found someone in their office and bought several newspapers with his articles."

Shen Hanwen brought a stack of newspapers, and he paid a high price for people to go to the office to buy them. He found someone who could understand Japanese, and said that he wanted to know about the domestic situation in Japan, but he couldn't buy newspapers, so he came to them specially.

There were not many newspapers to buy, only a dozen or so. Chu Lingyun quickly found Kang Hua's article in the signed book.

This is a report on the reaction of the Chinese people. There are many falsehoods in it, but it is specifically mentioned that there is an organization in Nanjing that likes Japan very much and worships Japanese young people. It is the Neon Club.

Among more than a dozen newspapers, he has four articles, three of which are about the Neon Club, and he has a deep understanding of the Neon Club.

The newspaper is true, and Kang Hua's identity as a reporter should also be true. What he wrote is the result of his own investigation into the Neon Club.

The content is exaggerated, but what is told about the Neon Club is basically the truth.

From this point of view, Kang Zhenghua is not a spy, he is a reporter. Kang Zhenghua is the Chinese name he gave himself, and he uses the two characters in his Japanese name.

It is normal for reporters to enter the club to investigate.

"You check again who he has been in contact with in the Neon Club, and what he has said."

Kang Zhenghua's doubts have been reduced a lot, but as long as there is a trace of doubt, the investigation of him will not stop until it is confirmed that he is not a spy.

This is the case with intelligence work. Once you are targeted by intelligence agencies and you do not completely eliminate the suspicion, then you will never have peace, and you will be investigated again and again.

"Yes, Captain."

Shen Hanwen responded, but did not leave, and asked in a low voice: "Team leader, did I guess wrong, Kang Zhenghua is not a Japanese spy?"

With a real reporter status and having written articles for the Neon Club, no matter how stupid Shen Hanwen was, he knew that Kang Zhenghua might be a reporter, not the secret agent he guessed.

"It's not confirmed yet. Continue to investigate him, and check other key suspects."

Chu Lingyun shook his head. It is common for Japanese intelligence organizations to arrange spies among the reporters. The identities of the reporters are easy to detect intelligence, but not all reporters are Japanese spies.

"Yes."

Shen Hanwen left in disappointment. Although Chu Lingyun didn't let him give up his investigation of Kang Zhenghua, he could tell from his attitude that the suspicion of Kang Zhenghua being a spy was already very small.

I thought I found a spy who would be able to make meritorious service and raise my military rank, but in the end I found the wrong person.

"Ring bell bell."

When he was about to get off work, the phone on Chu Lingyun's desk rang suddenly. He picked up the receiver, and Wang Sheng's voice came from there.
