Spy Shadow

Chapter 163 Start investigation

When the results of Bai Yuan's interrogation came out, Shen Hanwen was not at Shanghai Station.

After capturing the two Japanese spies, the other two teams returned to Nanjing. He stayed in Shanghai and continued to monitor Yan Kui'an to see if he could find new spies around him.

Now Shen Hanwen is full of energy, and Yan Kui'an is surrounded by his spies. He doesn't keep an eye on Yan Kui'an, but only on the surrounding areas, preparing to stage a good show of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind.

The next morning, Loach hurried back to the office to report on his work.

"Team leader, after a whole day of investigation yesterday, we found that 13 of Zhang Bai's customers purchased newspapers. In addition, there are also two regular customers of Zhang Bai among the companies and units that ordered newspapers, for a total of fifteen people."

"I arranged for people to verify whether other customers who did not see it had purchased newspapers. Yesterday, it was determined that 47 of Zhang Bai's regular customers did not have the habit of buying newspapers. These people can basically be eliminated."

"Okay, let's investigate these fifteen people first. Don't rule out any of these fifteen people for the time being."

Chu Lingyun nodded and said, there is a Chinese person among Zhang Bai's subordinates. The investigation method of Japanese spies is of no use to him. Everything about his past and present can be true.

In this case, it is indeed impossible to rule out all suspects.

"Yes, team leader."

Loach was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just did whatever he asked him to do. He did a good job of being obedient.

For two consecutive days, the whole team of Loach was busy. Chu Lingyun also transferred ten people from Shen Hanwen's team to him to help him verify it as soon as possible.

It wasn't until the evening that Loach dragged his tired body to Chu Lingyun to report: "Team leader, I have verified that the actual number of people who bought the newspaper is seventeen, and two of them did not buy it at the newsstand we were watching."

"Where did these two people buy newspapers?" Chu Lingyun asked immediately.

Most people buy newspapers nearby. They go far away to buy newspapers, which is suspicious in itself.

"One was bought at work, and the other was bought when going to the park. I had people secretly search their homes and found that only one of them had more newspapers in their home."

There are many newspapers, which means frequent purchases, and the suspicion is greater, but there are few newspapers and the suspicion cannot be ruled out.

Maybe he sold it or threw it away.

In short, until Zhang Bai's four offline players are confirmed, no one will be ruled out.

"This is the detailed information of seventeen people. I have arranged for people to investigate them, including their past, hometown, and everything they have now."

Loach knows how to check for Japanese spies. After getting the list, he immediately started investigating. Now he has checked the current situation of several people.

"Well done. Go back and rest early. Leave the list here with me."

Chu Lingyun nodded, seventeen suspects, not a lot, but not a lot.

And those four people are most likely hidden among the seventeen people. If you calculate it this way, the proportion is actually very high. It will not be difficult for them to find the spies.

The difficulty is how to find all the spies.

Early on the third day, Chu Lingyun arrived at Ni Loach's temporary office, which was behind Deyuan Pond. The monitoring had stopped, but the investigation of Zhang Bai's customers would continue. This was the center of Zhang Bai's customers, so Ni Loach simply The office location is placed here.

"Team leader."

As soon as Chu Lingyun came in, the people inside quickly stood up.

There were only four people left in the house that was originally full. They had to watch the phone, record and organize the information from the outside investigation.

None of them, including Loach, are here now.

"Show me the information you have already investigated."

The information quickly arrived in Chu Lingyun's hands. Although it didn't take long, there was already a thick volume. All the investigated information was summarized here first. Loach will finally organize and archive it and then hand it over to Chu Lingyun.

The first information is the customer at Zhang Bai Cinema.

His name is Zhao Pinsong. He mainly sings Hongshan opera and is the mainstay of Hongshan opera in their theater.

Hongshan Opera originated in the east of AH, very close to Nanjing.

Hongshan opera is very popular in Nanjing. Zhao Pinsong is forty years old and has been singing opera for more than thirty years. Just looking at his information, he is clean and does not look like a spy at all.

Zhao Pinsong comes from a poor family and was sold to a theater when he was three years old. He has been living in the theater ever since. It was not until he learned the skills and became the leading actor that his life improved.

It is difficult for Japanese people with such a background to disguise themselves. If Jiro Kawamoto hadn't suddenly revealed that there were Chinese people in Zhang Bai's offline, Zhao Pinsong could have eliminated them directly.

There is a Chinese among the Japanese spies, which really gives Chu Lingyun a headache.

The status of actors in this era was not high, but many dignitaries liked to listen to operas and would sometimes invite opera troupes to their homes to sing, which gave the actors the opportunity to explore information.

As long as there is a little suspicion, Chu Lingyun will not give up the investigation.

Zhao Pinsong's information is very simple. He has been in the theater. His past can be easily checked to confirm that it is him.

Not seeing any problems, Chu Lingyun continued to look at the next information.

These two pieces of information belong to a teacher who works at Sanjiang Normal University.

In this era, university teachers have high incomes and good conditions. In this era of widespread illiteracy, being a university teacher is highly respected.

His name is Si Lihua, he is thirty-two years old, his hometown is in Peking, and he is from the city.

Si Lihua has been in Nanjing for six years, and in addition to teaching, he also took on some private tutoring jobs, giving tutoring lessons to children from privileged families.

Japanese agents have a history of lurking as teachers. Du Juan was a middle school teacher in Wuhan.

The third one is Du Fang, a local, thirty years old.

Usually local people are the least suspicious, but he went out to buy newspapers yesterday and had a lot of newspapers at home.

Du Fang works in a bank. Among the more than 100 pieces of information, there are nearly 20 pieces of information about Nanjing's financial system. Du Fang's suspicion is equally high.

After reading one by one and reading all the information that had been found, Chu Lingyun immediately dug out Si Lihua's information.

Among the seventeen people currently, Chu Lingyun is the most suspicious of him.

Jiro Kawamoto confessed that he came to Nanjing five years ago. There was only one intelligence agent later than him, and two of them arrived in Nanjing six years ago.

Gu Cheng is one of them. His identity has been confirmed. Among these seventeen people, only Si Lihua came to Nanjing six years ago.

"Team leader, you are here."

Ni Loach got the news of Chu Lingyun's arrival from his subordinates and hurried back.

"How far along is Slihua's investigation?"

Loach immediately replied: "I have sent two people to monitor Si Lihua, because his hometown is Beiping. I sent people to investigate yesterday. They haven't arrived yet. I estimate that the news will come back tomorrow at the latest."

When investigating suspects, especially those who are not local, Loach will send people to their local area to verify. This is the basic direction of investigation.
