Spy Shadow

Chapter 145 Patriotic Scholars

Chu Lingyun looked at the map again. Wanyuan Road was only about one kilometer away from Ma Jingyuan's bookstore.

Taking the records and people, Chu Lingyun rushed to Jiang Binghui's residence in Lijia Lane.

Jiang Binghui's home had been carefully searched, and nothing of value was found. Afterwards, his home was restored to its original state. Jiang Binghui was secretly arrested. This was done to minimize the leakage of his arrest.

There is a bookcase in his home with many books in it.

Chu Lingyun browsed for a while and quickly found a book called "The Cause of Crying and Laughing". After comparing it with the photos in his hand, he confirmed that it was the book he brought back that day.

This is a novel that was published six years ago and has considerable influence in this era.

Chu Lingyun had no interest in the content of the book. What he wanted to know was whether the book was bought from Ma Jingyuan. If so, then Jiang Binghui and Ma Jingyuan must know each other.

After taking a photo of the cover and publication information, Chu Lingyun returned to the Military Intelligence Office.

"Team leader, I found out."

Not long after he came back, Shen Hanwen ran over happily, holding several newspapers in his hand.

"Yan Kui'an is a famous literati in Shanghai. He often publishes articles in major newspapers. He has also published two novels and a collection of poems. Here is his introduction. There are articles he has published in these newspapers. I specially Found it."

Shen Hanwen handed over three newspapers. Yan Kui'an was also a scholar. Thinking of Jiang Binghui's disguised identity, Chu Lingyun had a rough guess.

He had wondered before, why Shanghai wanted to kill people, but asked Nanjing to send people there. Didn't Shanghai Extra High School have no operatives?

Looking at it now, they probably value Jiang Binghui's disguised identity.

"You did a good job, you can go back first."

Chu Lingyun praised, but Shen Hanwen didn't move. He looked at him eagerly and asked cautiously: "Team leader, how is the investigation going at Loach? Is there anything you need my help with?"

Seeing that both Loach and Chu Yuan were busy, and he was the only one with nothing to do, Shen Hanwen felt very anxious.

When Ni Loach asked him for a photo before, he guessed that Ni Loach must have found something, otherwise he would not go to him to get the photo. Ni Loach had a big harvest, but he could only guard Jiang Binghui.

Jiang Binghui has been arrested. How much credit can he have?

He didn't want to just be a guard, so when he met Chu Lingyun, he took the opportunity to bring it up.

Chu Lingyun raised his head, and Shen Hanwen became even more nervous.

"Well, I'll give you a task. You go to Shanghai to keep an eye on Yan Kui'an. The purpose of keeping an eye on him is not to monitor him, but to see if there are any suspicious people around him. Don't take any action after discovering it. Take photos and find out. The identity of the suspicious person is enough.”

"Yes, team leader."

Shen Hanwen was very happy to finally have something to do. Although he went to Shanghai to keep an eye on people, it was still better than watching Jiang Binghui in a cell.

"Go ahead."

Chu Lingyun waved his hand and then lowered his head to read the newspaper in front of him.

Regardless of Yan Kui'an's identity, since the Japanese want to kill him, they are likely to monitor him.

Let Shen Hanwen go investigate and see if he can find the person spying on Yan Kui'an.

Shanghai does not fall under his jurisdiction, but as long as they are Japanese, it is always right to keep an eye on them first. If there is a chance, they can report them to the Shanghai Station and let them arrest them.

"It seems that Yan Kui'an offended the Japanese quite a lot."

After reading the articles in these three newspapers, Chu Lingyun finally understood why the Japanese wanted to kill Yan Kui'an.

Yan Kui'an is a radical person who hates the Japanese very much. All the articles he publishes expose the scandalous behavior of the Japanese. In the first newspaper, he wrote in detail the reasons for the Husong Battle, and pointed out that it was a Japanese conspiracy, deliberately taking advantage of the time when the Kuomintang could not get away, to attack Shanghai and cover their military operations in the Northeast. .

The second newspaper even accused Japan of being ambitious and coveting China.

Yan Kui'an didn't just complain. He also conducted an investigation, stating that Japan's domestic resources were insufficient and that if it wanted to develop, it must have more colonies. He also analyzed that China was the most suitable target for them, and called on the Chinese people to unite to resist Japan. An invasion may come.

This was a very far-sighted man, and all the things he proposed actually appeared in the future.

The third newspaper also talked about Japan, but also scolded other powers.

Yan Kui'an was a patriotic, sensible and insightful intellectual. After understanding the reason why the Japanese killed him, Chu Lingyun immediately picked up the phone and called Shen Hanwen.

Fortunately, Shen Hanwen did not leave in a hurry.

Chu Lingyun made new instructions to Shen Hanwen, asking him to take more people with him. If he found someone who was unfavorable to Yan Kui'an, he would try to rescue him.

He didn't know the reason why the Japanese wanted to kill Yan Kui'an before, so he didn't make such arrangements.

Now that he knows that Yan Kui'an is a true patriotic scholar, it is impossible to watch him being killed by the Japanese. After the case here is solved, Chu Lingyun plans to inform Yan Kui'an to be careful in the future.

Jiang Binghui failed to go to Shanghai, but the Japanese would not give up and would definitely attack him in the future.

If someone was bragging about the captain of the transportation team or someone who was good at flattering, Chu Lingyun really wouldn't do that.

"Team leader, this is the book list from Ma Jingyuan Bookstore."

When he was about to get off work in the evening, Ni Loach returned to his office and gave Chu Lingyun a list of books from Ma Jingyuan Bookstore.

"If you have to come back in person for such a small matter, why don't you just ask someone to send it back?"

Ni Loach now has a very heavy task. On the one hand, he has to investigate Zhang Bai's regular customers, and he also has to find out the customers of the bookstore. No matter which task is easy, it is a waste of energy.

"I don't worry if others give me a gift, so I'll do it myself. Don't worry, team leader, it won't delay the business."

Loach grinned with cracked teeth. Chu Lingyun stood up and walked over to help him tidy up his clothes. He said softly: "The case needs to be investigated, but the body must also be taken care of. If you fall down from exhaustion, others will not do as well as you."

"Yes, team leader, don't worry, I will never be exhausted."

Chu Lingyun's words made Loach very happy, and he left happily, his motivation increased a bit.

Chu Lingyun, who originally planned to go home from get off work, sat down again and carefully checked the books in the bookstore.

It didn't take long for him to find "The Cause of Crying and Laughing", and it turned out that Ma Jingyuan's bookstore actually had this book for sale.

Ni Loach conducted a very detailed investigation. He found someone to pretend to be a big customer to negotiate business, and wanted to know the book storage status of the bookstore. This was much better than going into the bookstore himself to check every book.

If Ma Jingyuan is not captured quickly, Loach will really ask someone to buy a batch of books to avoid arousing suspicion.

Buying books is nothing. Once the money is in Ma Jingyuan's hands, he will be able to get the money back after he is caught.

There are still three copies of the book "The Cause of Laughter" in Ma Jingyuan's bookstore. Chu Lingyun noticed that two of the books bought by Jiang Binghui were on sale at Ma Jingyuan's.
