Spy Shadow

Chapter 82 Screening of All Members

The previously bustling action team office building suddenly turned deserted.

Soon the whole station knew that the action team had a big operation. All the members were dispatched, but no one was in the station. Finally, Wang Yuemin was alarmed and wanted to ask Chu Lingyun, but no one was found.

Chu Lingyun personally led the team to the Southwest Branch.

Wang Sheng from the Southwest Branch was an old acquaintance of his. He immediately ran back to the bureau when he knew Chu Lingyun was coming, and became the liaison between Chu Lingyun and the Southwest Branch.

This time the entire action team took action, and Chu Lingyun’s No. 3 Squadron couldn’t be slower than them.

According to Chu Lingyun's request, the Third Squadron must complete these tasks in advance.

"Sir Chu, with these conditions, it's actually easy to find people. Don't worry, it won't take three days, at most two days, I will find all the people who meet the conditions for you."

After Wang Sheng heard Chu Lingyun's request, he immediately patted his chest and confirmed.

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. This mission is completed, and your rewards are indispensable." Chu Lingyun was very satisfied with Wang Sheng's answer.

Wang Sheng grinned, no nonsense, and immediately called others to act together.

It's just a screening. It might be difficult for others, but for patrol officers like them, it's easy.

At most, it’s just a bit of overtime work and a bit tiring.

But Wang Sheng believed that everyone in the Southwest Branch was willing to work overtime and work for Chief Chu.

Chief Chu was generous and cheerful. Last time, he was just helping to find a woman, and only a dozen patrol policemen were dispatched. Chu Lingyun actually gave them a bonus of one thousand French coins in the end.

And he himself even got two hundred.

After two missions, he made a net profit of 400 yuan, which was almost equal to his income in two years. What else could Wang Sheng be dissatisfied with.

The other patrol officers didn't make as much as him, but each of them got sixty or seventy yuan. Everyone was happy to get so much extra money at once.

Those patrol officers who failed to get the assignment could only secretly envy them.

This time Chu Lingyun asked them to do something again. Wang Sheng believed that as long as he sent out a message, people from the entire police station would swarm over and take the initiative to help Chu Lingyun screen, without the need for people from their military intelligence department to do anything.

Chu Lingyun was in charge of the Southwest Branch, and the director was frightened, waiting carefully on the side, for fear of making any mistakes.

The Southwest Branch moved really quickly. Knowing that they were helping Chief Chu, everyone was extremely active.

Within two days, all eligible people in their area had been screened out.

There are a total of twenty-seven people on the list. The area under the jurisdiction of the entire Southwest Branch actually has a large population, but there are not many people who really meet the four conditions. A northern accent filters out most of the people.

After getting the list, Chu Lingyun immediately asked people to start the second round of screening.

This time the screening is simpler. If you check their hometown, you can directly cross them out after verifying that they are correct.

Spies lurking must have disguised identities, and their identities cannot be true.

On the third day, the other two squadrons completed their tasks almost at the same time, and finally screened everything within the time required by Chu Lingyun.

"Captain Yao, Captain Huang, if you work harder, continue to screen in the other two areas. I will have someone verify the list of people who have been initially screened."

Of the five districts in Hankou, only three were screened, which is definitely not possible. All people in Hankou must be screened to ensure that no fish slip through the net.

"Yes, team leader, don't worry, we will get the results within three days at most."

The two squadron leaders hurriedly took the order. Having done the previous screening, they had experience and there was no problem in continuing the screening.

The first squadron screened the most people, with thirty-one people, the second squadron had fewer people, only nineteen people, and together with the twenty-seven people from Chu Lingyun's third squadron, there were seventy-seven people in total.

The second round of screening is actually more difficult because most of their hometowns are in the north and are far away.

Fortunately, there are not many people. If they are sent out to investigate secretly, it is easy to verify whether their situation is true or false.

The action team was busy, and almost all the team members left early and came back late, which further stimulated Wang Jialiang.

Wang Jialiang has been rushing outside with his entire intelligence team these days, desperately looking for clues.

Wang Yuemin already knew what Chu Lingyun was doing, and had no objections, only support. He was a little surprised that Chu Lingyun could think of such a way to proactively find Japanese spies.

Although this method is stupid, I have to say that it is indeed a good method.

If you're looking for a needle in a haystack, you'll gain experience if you can't catch it. If you catch a fish at random, you'll make a profit. This is a sure-fire business.

Three days later, the screening list for the last two areas was also in Chu Lingyun's hands. There were 23 people in total. This large-scale screening in Hankou got exactly the number of 100 people.

The team members sent out for the second round of screening were in teams of two. They went to their hometowns to investigate secretly. As long as there were no problems, they would be fine.

After investigating a hundred people, the action team did not have enough people, so another hundred people were transferred from five police stations. One policeman and one team member formed a two-person team, so that Chu Lingyun could still have 60 people left for emergency response.

Seven days later, the team members who went out for verification gradually returned, and fifteen days later, all returned to the station.

Some people on this mission encountered danger on the way, but luckily, everyone came back safely.

It is not so easy to travel far away during times of war and chaos.

Wang Yuemin was a rare act of generosity this time. Each team member who went out to perform a mission would be rewarded 20 yuan when he came back. For 100 team members, the expenditure would be 2,000 yuan.

When it comes to the police, Wang Yuemin is not so generous, and there is no hard work fee at all.

In the end, it was Chu Lingyun who made up for the hole, paying out of his own pocket. Each policeman was given fifteen yuan as hard work fee. Fifteen yuan was not much, but it made the policemen who followed him on the hard trip very happy.

Moreover, Chu Lingyun did not give more than Wang Yuemin's reward, thus saving Wang Yuemin's face.

The verification results surprised Chu Lingyun a little.

Most of them passed the verification, but there were still twenty-four people who failed.

This means that all twenty-four people lied and did not register their true information.

"Team leader, these twenty-four are not all spies, are they? Then shouldn't we have sent them?"

Ni Loach accompanied Chu Lingyun to check the final results and said excitedly, "Who can compare with them in catching twenty-four spies at one time?"

This time, their action team is destined to make a lot of money.

"How is it possible? How can there be so many spies in Hankou?"

Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Ni Loach thought so well. It was completely impossible to catch twenty-four spies at once.

There were quite a few spies, but not that many. Chu Lingyun now understood why there were so many people with false information.

Among these twenty-four people, there must be some who have committed crimes and are wanted. They dare not write real information and can only register false ones.

But the possibility that there are Japanese spies among them is definitely not small. If there are indeed Japanese spies still lurking in Hankou, Chu Lingyun believes that this net will definitely be able to catch them.

He didn't ask for much, and if he could get one, this high-profile operation would be a great value.
