Spy Shadow

Chapter 101 Small doubts

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 a case where he went to catch a Japanese spy, but he didn't even know the spy had escaped.

This case made Virgo furious, but the process was 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 little 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 group from the operations section. The whole group went out, but in the end they came up empty.

Afterwards, Xu Yi shied away the responsibility, accusing the Operations Department of leaking the news. He Nian naturally refused. On the contrary, he said that it was their Intelligence Department that had made a loophole. The two 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 the case 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 when they took action, the other party was well prepared. Liu Wannian, the leader of the second action 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 case made Virtuoso even more angry. It was after this case that he had no choice but to invite Secretary Qi to drink, and then he lured Chu Lingyun to the headquarters.

Chu Lingyun didn't know what happened next, but after reading the case file twice, Chu Lingyun immediately opened the Japanese espionage 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 case of 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 withdrawn is something that can be used temporarily during operations.

In the case of killing a 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 for the case of killing the Japanese spy was three o'clock in the afternoon. It was a temporary withdrawal of equipment, while the case of the missing Japanese spy was moved one day earlier.

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 browse, in the case of arresting a traitor, the equipment was also received 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 Section receives equipment, the people in the Equipment Section must know that there is an operation. If there is an enemy traitor in the Equipment Section 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 cases of missing Japanese spies and cases of killing Japanese spies.

In the case of the missing Japanese spy, the equipment was collected one day in advance, so that the traitor had enough time to notify people. In the case of the missing Japanese spy, due to time constraints, the spy was not able 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 lurking personnel at the headquarters.

Perhaps in these two cases, neither the Intelligence Section nor the Operations Section made any mistakes, but they ultimately failed because of the mole's whistleblower.

This is just Chu Lingyun's own idea, and there is no evidence at all, just pure speculation. Moreover, when a traitor is involved, one must be cautious and cannot point the finger at 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.

But there was one thing Chu Lingyun hadn't thought clearly about. If there really was a traitor in the equipment department, how did 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 spies in Wuhan did not lurk for long, but Nanjing was different. Chu Lingyun would not be surprised if there were spies who had lurked here for more than ten years.

It is impossible for Japanese spies to ask everyone to evacuate just 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 was the traitor in the equipment department, what method could 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 operation?

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.
