Spy Shadow

Chapter 195 Something gained

"Don't always think about arresting people. How can you arrest someone if you don't even know their true identity?"

Chu Lingyun understood that Shen Hanwen was eager to make meritorious deeds and was a little dissatisfied with being surpassed by a loach. However, intelligence work must not be rushed. The slightest mistake could lead to a big mistake.

Chu Lingyun has been very careful, but problems have also occurred.

Du Juan took poison and Zhang Bai detonated the grenade, which were all caused by a little problem. If he had been more careful, these situations might not have happened.

"Team leader, let me ask."

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

Kang Zhenghua is highly suspicious, but Chu Lingyun will not arbitrarily identify him as a spy until the investigation is clear.

The spy must be caught, but he must be cautious. If he catches the wrong person and alerts the real spy, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.

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

The commercial bank occupies a three-story building, with the first floor being the front. It sells mainly cultural supplies, 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 people keeping an eye on him.

"Is anyone inside?" Chu Lingyun asked.

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

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

Shen Hanwen was stunned and said hurriedly: "Aren't they all foreign companies? It should be where they live up there."

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

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

He was a scout, and he only received training for a period of time after being selected into the Military Intelligence Department. He was already in the action team and was an expert at operations, not to mention 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. He will investigate various cases with him in the future. It seems necessary to send him to further training, so that he can at least understand what to pay attention to during the investigation process and how to investigate various details. , otherwise an error is likely to occur.

"Team leader, we found out that the second floor is rented to other Japanese companies. It is the Nanjing office of a newspaper. The third floor is a dormitory, shared by both companies."

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

The team member quickly reported that this team member was selected from the Hangzhou Police Training School and did a good job in the investigation.

"Team leader, he is indeed Japanese."

Shen Hanwen was pleasantly surprised and said that he really didn't think about going inside to investigate before. After he determined that Kang Zhenghua was a Japanese spy, he thought about arresting people as soon as possible and meritorious service.

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

"I asked, and their name is a bit hard to pronounce. The Chinese salesperson's Japanese is average and she doesn't know the specific name. She only knows that it's called News Co., Ltd."

"Co., Ltd."

Chu Lingyun answered that this was a Japanese joint-stock company. Kang Zhenghua was indeed Japanese, but he was not necessarily a spy.

Japanese spies are extremely careful and will not let anyone find out their identity so easily. If you can find out your true identity by just asking, it is probably not the case.

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

"Check the origin of this newspaper, what newspapers they publish, what exactly Kang Zhenghua does in it, and what he has published."

Chu Lingyun gave Shen Hanwen another order, and Shen Hanwen responded hurriedly: "Yes, I will check it out right away, and I will make sure it is clear."

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

Chu Lingyun warned again that although Shen Hanwen was obedient, he was now eager to make meritorious deeds. If he wanted to grab credit and catch someone, he would be very passive.

They are not spies. Arresting foreign journalists like this at will can easily cause diplomatic disputes.

Their principal now attaches great importance to foreign relations. He is very tough internally, but he is soft-footed externally. If anything goes wrong, everyone will be scolded, let alone them.

"yes."

Shen Hanwen responded hurriedly. He sent Chu Lingyun away, but his heart was extremely depressed.

He was obviously Japanese, but the team leader didn't arrest him, nor did he say when he would be arrested. He only asked him to check some peripheral things. I don't know what the team leader was thinking.

"Team leader, you are back."

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

"Are your injuries healed?" Chu Lingyun asked him casually as he sat down.

"It's healed a long time ago. That little skin injury is nothing." Chu Yuan smiled.

Chu Yuan had the greatest credit for being able to find out that Liu Dazhuang was a traitor this time. Taking this opportunity, he was finally promoted to second lieutenant and became the official captain of a small team.

Now the entire four operations teams can be said to be Chu Lingyun's team, and he is right here.

"Team 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 their situation."

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

Members who have no status or role will be ignored by the Japanese.

"One is named Fang Wancao. He is registered as a Shanghainese and has been in Nanjing for many years. However, he has only moved to his current place for half a year. After asking neighbors, no one knew where he lived before. I went to the police station again. , his previous address was not found.”

I lived in Nanjing, but I couldn't find his previous residence, which is a bit strange.

"What other suspicions does he have?"

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's his job?"

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

Chu Lingyun stood up, took all the membership information, and quickly found Fang Wancao.

Fang Wancao was thirty years old. His self-introduction was 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 give himself a Japanese name, but there was a sense that Japan was very strong between the lines. sense of confidence.

"Who else is in his family?"

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

"There is only one old woman in the family who is mute and blind. Neighbors reported that he was a filial son who took good care of his mother and often bought her delicious food."

Two people lived together, and the other one couldn't speak yet. Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened.

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

"Yes, team leader, is he highly suspicious?" Chu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

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

Chu Yuan reported that there were two suspects, but only one was mentioned.

"The other one is named Xu Wu. He lives with his family. There is no problem with his identity. His family conditions are pretty good. He came to Nanjing with his father at an early age. His father is a government employee. Xu Wu was originally a patrol officer in the Fifth Precinct. However, he has been promoted to deputy chief of police and chief of police in the past three months. I checked his connections and found that he did not have a strong background to help him get promoted."

Another three months.

To be promoted to two levels in such a short period of time and become a police sergeant is something that cannot be accomplished with ordinary relationships.

Wang Sheng was able to advance to so many levels because He Nian helped him. Chu Lingyun alone would not have been able to advance him so quickly.

"Check if there is any contact between these two people, 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 was suspicious of both of them.

"yes."

Chu Yuan took the order and left. After he left, Chu Lingyun dug out the membership information of the two people.

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

In his self-introduction, he admired most the Japanese Sino-Japanese War criminal of Sino-Japanese War and the Shanxian Wupeng who invaded China, so he gave himself such a name.

Not only that, in his self-introduction, he expressed his disgust for Chinese identity and his great desire to become a glorious Japanese national.

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

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

"Wang Sheng, please help me investigate a person, Sheriff Xu Wu of the Fifth Precinct. Find out what he has done in the past three months and why he was promoted to sergeant so quickly."

Chu Lingyun called Wang Sheng. This was the benefit of having his own people in the police station.

If you have something to do, you can directly give instructions without having to worry about the other party being dishonest and not being able to find what you want.

"Yes, Chief Chu. I'm at the Fifth Precinct. I'll go check on 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 wild cats among so many people. He has been busy with this matter these days.

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

After Chu Lingyun warned, she hung up the phone and picked up Fang Wanchao's information.

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

Chu Yuan found out that his wife had died of illness a few years ago, leaving no children, and now he was raising a blind and mute woman. If he didn't want to save money to marry a wife, why would he join such a society?

His daily life has nothing to do with Japan.

Fang Wancao's suspicion was much heavier than Kang Zhenghua, who was targeted by Shen Hanwen.

The investigation is still ongoing. We cannot say who is a spy and who is not. Everything has to wait for the results of the investigation.

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

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

"Team leader, that newspaper is called the Daily News. It is headquartered in Japan and is quite influential. They have offices in Shanghai and Nanjing. They mainly collect domestic news and publish it in their newspapers."

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

Shen Hanwen brought a stack of newspapers. He paid a high price to have someone come to the office to buy them. He asked someone who knew Japanese to come over and said that he wanted to know about the situation in Japan and couldn't buy newspapers, so he came to them specially.

He didn't buy many newspapers, only a dozen or so, and Chu Lingyun quickly found Kang Hua's article in the signature book.

This is a report about 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 had four articles in total, three of which were about Neon Club. He had a deep understanding of Neon Club.

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

The content is exaggerated, but what is said about the Neon Club is basically true.

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

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

"Let's check again who he had contact with in Neon Club and what comments he made."

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

Intelligence work is like this. Once you are targeted by an intelligence agency and the suspicion is not completely eliminated, you will never have peace and will be investigated again and again.

"Yes, team leader."

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

With a real journalist status and having written articles about Neon Club, Shen Hanwen, no matter how stupid he was, knew that Kang Zhenghua might be a reporter and not an agent as he had guessed.

"It has not been determined yet. We will continue to investigate him, and other key suspects must also be verified."

Chu Lingyun shook his head. It was common for Japanese intelligence organizations to deploy agents among reporters. It was easy to detect the identities of reporters, but not all reporters were Japanese agents.

"yes."

Shen Hanwen left disappointed. Although Chu Lingyun did not let him give up the investigation of Kang Zhenghua, he could see his attitude. The suspicion that Kang Zhenghua was a Japanese spy was already very small.

I thought I had found a spy who would be able to perform meritorious service and increase my military rank, but it turned out that I had found the wrong person.

"Ring ring ring."

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