Spy Shadow.

Chapter 283 Sneak into the investigation
Without information, how to arrange it?

I don't know where Deputy Chief Tang is going, and I have no way to start. I can't plant bombs everywhere, and then try my luck to see if I can kill him.

I don't know if Vice Chief Tang He Nian can be killed, but they will definitely be blown up in prison. There are so many explosions for no reason, it's no wonder the higher ups can spare them.

Liu Wannian didn't speak any more, but Zhu Qing suggested, "Send out snipers?"

Snipers are most suitable for assassination. They can kill the target in one blow from a long distance, and they don't need to dispatch too many people, which is safer.

"Deputy Chief Tang is very careful. I thought about this method before, but I didn't have a chance. Don't even think about it now."

He Nian still shook his head, He Nian had tried the method they said a long time ago, if it worked, he wouldn't be scolded when he came back.

"Lingyun, do you have any good ideas?" Seeing that Chu Lingyun hadn't spoken, He Nian asked proactively.

"I analyzed the reason for your failure this time. It's because you didn't really grasp the travel rules of Deputy Chief Tang. Can we find a patriotic and influential person to help and find a way to lure Deputy Chief Tang out?"

Chu Lingyun said softly. He Nian was somewhat satisfied with his answer, but it wasn't good either.

"We have looked for it, but the people Vice Minister Tang is visiting are either Japanese or senior consular officials from the United Kingdom, the United States and France. He knew these people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before, and he would not go at invitations from others."

The New Year's words are very clear. If you want to attract Deputy Chief Tang, only the Japanese and important officials from Britain, the United States and France can do it.

These people practice shitty liberalism, so it's no wonder that their request is granted.

I'm afraid that as soon as they came to the door, Deputy Chief Tang would hear the news.

"Deputy Section Chief Yuan, how about you?"

He Nian looked at Yuan Shouwang again. He just came back and didn't know about the celebration banquet. Even if he knew about it, he didn't have the heart to think about it.

The most important thing right now is the task of sanctions.

"What I wanted to say, they said."

Yuan Shouwang shook his head helplessly. If he had a good idea, he would have taken the initiative to speak just now, not to mention that he is not good at action. He was able to be the deputy section chief because of his balance.

He is not from New Year's greetings, but from the same hometown as Virgo.

"Forget it, let's go to Shanghai first. Time is running out. Think of ways as you go. Zhu Qing, Ling Yun, this time you will go to Shanghai with me."

He Nian shook his head, Yuan Shouwang was left to watch the house, last time he led a group of people, this time he brought more people, let the third group and the fourth group each lead a small team.

There are 80 people in the two teams, plus the team leader, which is larger than before.

"Yes."

Zhu Qing and Chu Lingyun responded together, and brought Zhu Qing because Zhu Qing had been blessed recently, and he was very clear about capturing Sima Lin last time, it was pure luck.

And Zhu Qing's luck was also good before, let's see if he can still have such good luck in sanctioning Deputy Chief Tang this time.

As for Chu Lingyun, he purely valued his ability.

He Nian knew that the information was limited, making it difficult for Chu Lingyun's clever wife to cook without rice, but if the information could keep up, then Chu Lingyun might be able to help him a lot.

This time when going to Shanghai, Chu Lingyun brought Shen Hanwen's team, while Ni Qian stayed to watch the house.

One is that Ni Qiang is already the deputy team leader, he is the most suitable housekeeper, and the other is that Shen Hanwen is a fierce general, so it is most suitable to entrust him with fighting and killing.

The last time he chased down Sima Lin's loach, he showed bravery. At the critical moment, he blocked the gate with a car, which prevented Sima Lin from escaping in time. Unfortunately, after getting out of the car, he hid in a corner and trembled, which was really unsatisfactory.

It is a bit difficult for him to do the job of assassination.

Shen Hanwen's team lost three members last time, and they haven't been replenished yet. Chu Lingyun recruited several members from Liang Yu. Liang Yu is very clever, and he is the best performer in all aspects among this group of students, and he is also the first to be promoted to military rank player.

In the future, when Nixiu is no longer serving as the captain, Liang Yu can be promoted to take over Nixiu's position.

He Nian brought Chu Lingyun and Zhu Qing to Shanghai. He Nian, Chu Lingyun and Zhu Qing were naturally in the first class compartment, accompanied by Shen Hanwen and Zhu Qing's team leader Fang Jingtang.

With so many people, it is unrealistic to arrange all of them to take the first-class car, and the general affairs side will have opinions.

In the last operation of the fourth group of operations, so many people were arranged to eat at the Jinling Hotel, and two cars were destroyed, which made the general affairs have great opinions.

The chief of the general affairs section once complained to the director that the fourth operation team spent too much money.

What Chu Lingyun seized was quite a lot, which was worth a lot more than He Yuanhua's factories and villas, but from the perspective of the general affairs department, if you hand it over, it belongs to the public, and everyone has a share.

The more you spend, the less we can earn.

In this case, it's no wonder they have no opinion.

At the Shanghai Railway Station, Chen Shu came to the platform again to greet him. He was also criticized by the boss for failing the last mission, and asked him to seize the time to find out the whereabouts of Deputy Chief Tang and assist He Nian to complete the mission.

"Station Master Chen, you're welcome, and arrange a few places for us immediately."

He Nian didn't ask Chen Shu to host another banquet this time. Time was running out, and they had to formulate an action plan as soon as possible and complete the task as soon as possible.

If he fails again this time, he doesn't know how to go back to meet Virgo.

"Okay, no problem." Chen Shu understood He Nian's mood and nodded in agreement.

He was notified before New Year's Eve, and he had already prepared the place.

He Nian and the two team leaders lived in a luxury hotel, while the rest of the team lived in small hotels nearby.

Nanjing, Military Intelligence Office.

When Loach came to the cell, many spies caught before had been executed in batches, and only a few useful or surrendered ones remained temporarily.

Jiang Binghui, most of the lizard team and the mole team captured later have been shot, and the traitors who were instigated to rebel, including Tu Fang, were all shot.

If these people are not dealt with, their cells may not be enough. Chu Lingyun has caught too many people.

"Grandpa Zhao, my dear grandfather, just let me go."

In a separate cell inside, seeing the loach coming over, Huo Xiao who was locked inside immediately knelt down and kowtowed continuously.

Huo Xiao was the one who was arrested because of Huazi Abe when Chu Lingyun was in Wuhan.

This person did a lot of evil, in Yurou Township, he forced good people into prostitution, Chu Lingyun didn't intend to let him go, it was Nixie who wanted to wipe all the money from him, so he took his life.

After Loach was transferred to Nanjing with Chu Lingyun, he forgot about him for a while because he was busy, but after thinking about it, he was brought back to Nanjing, where he continued to extract marrow and fry oil, preparing to extract the last copper from him.

"You are very dishonest. If you were asked to take the money, you didn't take it, and you went to bribe the deputy mayor of Guangzhou. You are so capable. Why didn't the deputy mayor rescue you?"

Niach sneered and said that the deputy mayor of Guangzhou was a new relationship that Huo Xiao's family helped him to dredge in Wuhan, and it did cost a lot of money for this.

But the money was spent, a deputy mayor, not the deputy mayor of Nanjing, how could he take someone away from the headquarters of the military intelligence department?

They were cheated out of a lot of money, and Huo Xiao is still locked up in the prison.

After Niqiu knew about this, he was very annoyed. It was all the money he was looking for, but someone cheated him out of part of it.

"You, how do you know?" Huo Xiao was a little surprised. He was in Nanjing, and his family couldn't see him at all.

If his family hadn't spent a lot of money, he wouldn't even know the news from the outside world.

"Call me."

Niach was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he dared to give his money to others, and he didn't know what his grandpa Zhao's surname was without being taught a lesson.

The team members next to him entered the cell with a whip, and Huo Xiao yelled in horror and begged for mercy.

But no matter how much he shouted, it was useless. He was beaten to death with a whip, and finally agreed to Nixie, and asked his family to send him another [-] gold bars.

Only then did the loach give up and walk away.

Wicked people still need to be grinded by wicked people, twenty gold bars and loaches are not too little, tap bit by bit, drop by drop, and one day they will be squeezed completely clean.

After the beating, Niach asked the doctor to come and treat him.

Huo Xiao is his money box, but he can't be allowed to die, he still needs to be taken care of when it's time to take care of him.

As soon as the loach left, Sima Lin, who was locked alone in the next cell, straightened up immediately.

He was locked next to Huo Xiao, and he heard all the conversation between Niqiu and Huo Xiao. The prison next to him was not Japanese, and could the news be passed on to the outside?
This is good news for him, as long as there is a chance to spread the information, he will be able to expose the true identity of Bei Chuanming, the traitor.

Sima Lin has been recovering from his injuries for the past few days, and at the same time he was thinking about how to spread the news, but unfortunately he was held incommunicado, and he couldn't see anyone except the prisoner who delivered the food.

He was a repeat offender, and he didn't even have a chance to let him know. Huo Xiao next to him gave him the hope of sending out information.

Back in the office, Niqiu picked up a document and followed Chu Lingyun's example to read it.

After being promoted to the deputy team leader, Niqiu has a separate office, which is not big, but he likes it very much. Finally, he has an independent space and a telephone, and he doesn't have to work with his team members like before.

Although the deputy team leader has an adverb, he is a cadre at the level of the team leader after all.

The deputy team leader of the headquarters is fully qualified to be a team leader when he arrives at the sub-station. It is normal to have an independent office.

It's a pity that he couldn't stand it after watching it for a while.

He wasn't Chu Lingyun, and he didn't have the ability to find flaws in the normal content. Even if he saw the flowers in these documents, he couldn't see any clues.

On the other side of the ocean, Liu Chengzhu felt a lot more at ease watching the loads of goods being loaded.

He will return to China with the first batch of sulfonamide worth [-] US dollars. Smith and Chu Yuan will stay in the United States to wait for the second shipment. The pharmaceutical factory is working overtime to meet their needs.

Because they have the right to supply priority, the sulfonamides on the market have been out of stock during this period.

Out of stock directly caused the price to skyrocket. In just the past few days, the price of sulfonamide has increased by another [-]%, and there is only a small amount of supply. Most of them are people who bought sulfa as futures and sold it out when they saw the profit.

"If we can sell it directly in the United States, we can make a net profit of [-] U.S. dollars without going back to China."

Liu Chengzhu said to Smith, who delivered the ship, that he would investigate the price of sulfonamide in the market every day, so that he could set the price after returning to China.

If the price of sulfa in foreign countries rises, the price of sulfa will definitely increase after returning home.

"impossible."

Smith smiled and shook his head, while Liu Chengzhu looked at him suspiciously.

Smith explained: "The reason for such a rapid price increase is that we have taken away all the goods, resulting in a market shortage. If it’s less than a penny, the capital will be lost.”

After all, Smith is a businessman, so he sees things very clearly.

Sulfonamide is rising, but it is not normal to rise so fast, it is entirely because of the short-term shortage caused by their big customer.

Now that the pharmaceutical factory has an additional big customer like them, the production volume will definitely increase in the future.

When there are more supplies, the price will naturally fall back, unless there is a major event that promotes the sales of sulfa, such as a war.

All countries in the world have wars, but there are not many wars in the United States, so sulfa will not rise too high in a short period of time, and their main source of profit is still in China.

The entire country's market has been taken down by himself in this way, and Smith feels a sense of accomplishment.

This is much better than him borrowing [-] dollars and making small troubles.

"You're right, we really can't sell it in the United States, it's a pity."

Liu Chengzhu nodded. He asked Yu Hanlin to read the contract carefully after translating it. There was a clause that they were agents in East Asia and could only sell in East Asia.

Japan was excluded by pharmaceutical companies again, leaving only China where they could sell.

If they were secretly sold in the United States, after being discovered, the high liquidated damages and penalties would really make them bankrupt. They had no intention of selling in the United States, and would not take risks because of this.

One hundred thousand dollars and hundreds of thousands of French currency of sulfonamide were all loaded on the ship. After the shipment arrived in China, Liu Chengzhu believed that it would be able to sell for a good price.

This is a business worth hundreds of thousands, which is many times better than when he was a small manager in a rickshaw company.

"After you go back, ask Chu to help me buy a villa in the Shanghai International Settlement."

Smith told Liu Chengzhu that after the goods were delivered to China, the dividends would make him a lot of money, and it would be no problem to buy a better house.

Although he wants to stay in the United States to clear up relations, one day he will return to China. At that time, he will go back in a good manner, so that all those who looked down on him before can take a good look at him. He Smith is back.

"No problem, I will convey it to you."

Liu Chengzhu nodded with a smile. Smith, who has been reduced to a beggar, does have some ability.

But his arrogance, arrogance and extravagance are not liked by Liu Chengzhu and Chu Yuan.

After receiving the four thousand dollars rewarded by Chu Lingyun, Smith immediately moved out of the small hotel where they lived, and moved into a luxury hotel worth fifty dollars a day.

Liu Chengzhu couldn't even imagine fifty dollars a day.

Converted into legal currency, that is more than 100, which is enough for ordinary people to live for several months in China, but it is only a day's accommodation fee here.

In their eyes, Smith was completely a prodigal. No wonder he had fallen to that point before. Without Chu Lingyun's help, Smith might still be living a life of wandering.

Liu Chengzhu, who has always been thrifty, can't understand Smith's behavior at all.

Chu Yuan and Smith sent Liu Chengzhu to the ship. There were a lot of goods on the ship. For safety, Chu Yuan sent two team members to escort him.

Before going back, they sent a telegram to Chu Lingyun, telling him that the first shipment had already set off and asked him to wait for them in Shanghai, and that this batch of sulfonamide would soon arrive in China.

Shanghai, in a hotel room.

According to the latest information obtained by Chen Shu, although Deputy Chief Tang moved to the Japanese Concession, he still often went to the French Concession, and his house in the French Concession was still there.

Occasionally live there, but mostly in the Japanese Concession.

After the last New Year's greetings operation, Deputy Chief Tang strengthened his own security protection. Not only did he have more bodyguards, but he also had special Japanese soldiers for protection when he was in the Japanese Concession.

Even in the French Concession and the International Settlement, he would not stay in one place for a long time.

Shanghai station has no way to grasp the pattern of his whereabouts. Every time he finds out the news after he leaves, it is not very helpful for their actions.

"Currently, Deputy Chief Tang has been in the Japanese Concession for the longest time."

Zhu Qing whispered, there were only him, He Nian and Chu Lingyun in the living room.

"It's an iron barrel in the Japanese Concession, it's too difficult to assassinate inside."

He Nian shook his head lightly. Strictly speaking, there is no Japanese Concession. The Chinese government does not recognize the existence of the Japanese Concession. The Japanese Concession is just a part of the public concession.

Japan established its own sphere of influence in Hongkou. At first, there were not many people, but as their ambitions to invade China increased, they deployed more and more personnel and institutions in Hongkou. Up to now, the entire Japanese Concession, including Japanese soldiers and expatriates , already tens of thousands of people.

Although the Japanese Concession does not have the name of a concession, it has the reality of a concession.

And there are only Japanese there, unlike the public concession and the French Concession, where there are a large number of Chinese people, and it becomes more difficult for them to sneak into the Japanese Concession to investigate. Without Japanese identity, they must have a suitable reason to enter.

"Can you bribe one or two Japanese to help us investigate?"

Zhu Qing also said that if he could not enter the Japanese Concession, he would buy the Japanese.

Among the Japanese, there are people who are open to money and give enough money, and some Japanese are willing to do things for them.

Besides, the Japanese Concession is not full of rich people, and there are quite a few low-level wanderers whose lives are not satisfactory.

Many people who are unsatisfactory in their lives in Japan want to come to China to try their luck, but after arriving here, they don't have many opportunities and are still poor.

"You can try it, but it is probably difficult for ordinary Japanese to get close to Deputy Chief Tang."

He Nian nodded, and did not reject the suggestion. If there is no other way, it is a feasible method to bribe the Japanese to scout for them.

No matter how successful or not, give it a try.

"I'll go out to find someone tomorrow." Zhu Qing replied, it was too late now, and he had to wait until tomorrow if he wanted to take action.

"Lingyun, what do you think is the best way for us to attack?" He Nian asked Chu Lingyun again.

"It would be best if we could use a bomb. It would be easier for us to evacuate. If not, let the gunman assassinate him. The hardest thing is to poison him, but no matter which way, as long as it can kill him."

Chu Lingyun slowly said that there are many ways to assassinate, such as shooting, bombing, poisoning, even beauty tricks, car accidents, etc., but time is tight, and they have no way to arrange them.

Only whichever is effective can be used.

"You're right, wait and see tomorrow."

He Nian sighed, without accurate information, everything has to wait, but what he lacks most is time.

Sanctions within a time limit, if the task is not completed by the time, the action is a failure.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qing took people out to look for the down-and-out Japanese, but he couldn't give him money immediately after he found it, so that he could go find information.

Find a way to get hold of him so that he doesn't dare to resist, that's more sure.

Just find any Japanese and give them money. It is estimated that the money will be beaten by meat buns, and they may even be reported to increase the vigilance of the Japanese.

He Nian also left the hotel. Although Deputy Chief Tang would not accept invitations from Chinese casually, he could not give up. He found some energetic people who had known Deputy Chief Tang before, and saw if he could be attracted.

Chu Lingyun was in the room by himself, carefully looking at the map.

There are several maps in front of him, including those in SH city, the public concession, the French concession, and the Japanese concession.

But the map of the Japanese Concession is very vague. This is the map provided by the Shanghai Railway Station. They have visited the Japanese Concession many times to investigate, but the Japanese in the Japanese Concession are very strict, and they cannot approach some places.

The map obtained in this way is not so detailed.

After looking at the map for a while, Chu Lingyun walked to the window. There were still six days left in the time given by the chief, which sounds like a lot, but it is not easy to assassinate a strictly protected person within six days .

Zhu Qing's method was effective, but those ordinary Japanese ronin, even if they were really bought by them, it would be difficult to detect Deputy Chief Tang's whereabouts.

It needs a person who has a real identity and is not suspected by the Japanese to go in.

A large number of memories flooded into Chu Lingyun's mind.

Among them are some places in the Japanese Concession. At the beginning, he absorbed the memories of two people, Chu Lingyun's memory was digested by him, but the memory of the dead Japanese was temporarily sealed up by him.

Sealing is not throwing away, as long as you recall when needed, these memories will reappear.

It's a pity that this is a guy who likes to play and write books all day long. He has not been in the Shanghai Japanese Concession for a long time, and there are only a few places he has been to in his memory.

But there are some places that are not on the map.

It is true that Hosokawa Tomotaka is an illegitimate son, but after all, he has aristocratic status, and his father is a dignified marquis. After coming to China, there are many people who want to curry favor with him.

Using Hosokawa Tomotaka's identity to sneak into the Japanese Concession to investigate?
A bold idea appeared in Chu Lingyun's mind. Tomotaka Hosokawa and Chu Lingyun were about the same size, but slightly different in weight. Those who were not particularly familiar with him would definitely not be able to tell.

What's more, Hosokawa Tomotaka hasn't appeared in a few months, and it's completely normal for weight to change.

Hosokawa Tomotaka and Chu Lingyun are about the same age and have similar faces. It is not difficult to make up to look like him. The biggest loopholes are the eyes and voice.

Weight can be changed, but eyesight is hard to change.

Fortunately, there are not many people who are really familiar with Tomotaka Hosokawa in the Japanese Concession, and they will not see the problem from their eyes.

But the sound is the biggest trouble, even people who are not particularly familiar with it can hear the difference.

Carefully recalling the memories of Tomotaka Hosokawa, Chu Lingyun found that he only had a few young friends in the Japanese Concession. These young people were not of high status, but they had a certain status.

Hosokawa Tomotaka is an aristocrat, if he is not an illegitimate child, he will never look at these people in the right eyes.

Although there are contacts, Hosokawa Tomotaka has a sense of aloofness in his heart, just like their relationship.

But after all, they had communicated with Hosokawa Tomotaka several times, and Chu Lingyun's voice might still become a flaw.
