Spy Shadow

Chapter 184 Developing Eyes

"There's only so much I can analyze."

Hayakawa's hands were open, his conditions were limited, and he knew too few clues to deduce anything more useful.

Even so, Chu Lingyun gained a lot from this trip.

If it were not for Hayakawa's analysis, there might have been major mistakes in the direction of the investigation, resulting in a waste of resources and time.

"You can tell me if you need anything. Although I can't let you go, there's no problem in improving your life."

Chu Lingyun stood up and said, Hayakawa Hei smiled: "Thank you, I don't lack anything now. If you can, don't punish the two of them. I'm just too bored, let them play cards with me."

Chu Lingyun took a deep look at Hayakawa Hei, turned around and left without saying anything.

This is an extremely shrewd businessman, and he is very insightful into people's hearts. Fortunately, he was caught, otherwise such a person would definitely cause great damage to them on the intelligence line.

"Wang Sheng, come to my place." Back in the office, Chu Lingyun called Wang Sheng.

"Sir Chu, I'm here."

It didn't take long for Wang Sheng to run over and stand in front of the desk happily. His promotion order had been issued the day before yesterday, and he was now the official police chief.

It only took two months to go from being a patrol officer in a local branch to being a police sergeant in the National Capital Bureau. Facts have proved that no matter how good you are, it is better to work with the right person.

Being able to become a disciple of Chu Lingyun is the greatest opportunity in his life.

"Sit down and talk."

Chu Lingyun came to the sofa and asked Wang Sheng to send someone to investigate the entrance of Jinling University to see who would often pass by there, especially those who would definitely pass by within three days.

There are indeed many such people. Jinling University is a prestigious university, and there are many high-end residential areas near the school. Residents of many residential areas pass by the school's entrance every day.

In addition to them, there are vendors who set up stalls in front of the school, and vendors who deliver food or other things to the school.

The number is very large and it is very difficult to investigate, but clues will not fall in vain. Only through detailed investigation can we proactively find more clues.

Whether it is the person to be contacted in the missing person notice or the notice in the recruitment advertisement, according to Hayakawa Hei, the target will not be a small person, but must be a very important person.

Finding such people requires enough patience.

Although Hei Hayakawa said that he was outside the school, Chu Lingyun would not completely believe his words. School members who often come in and out of the school would also conduct investigations, but they would not be the focus of the investigation.

In this way, the number of people who need to be investigated will increase, but before the real target is found, Chu Lingyun will investigate any suspects.

"Sir Chu, give me some time, and I will be able to find all the people who meet the requirements."

Wang Sheng listened carefully to Chu Lingyun's request and immediately replied.

Having just been promoted to sergeant, he understood better who was the one who could influence his destiny. He absolutely did not dare to delay Chu Lingyun's affairs at all.

"No problem. This investigation is not urgent. I will give you plenty of time."

Chu Lingyun nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked directly: "Last time you said that you have a relative in the rickshaw company, who is also a deputy manager?"

"Yes, it was my uncle, and it was his people who discovered Jiang Binghui first."

"Take me back to see him."

Chu Lingyun said that as early as when he was in Wuhan, he understood that these low-level people living on the streets were very important informants.

Since he has been busy since arriving at the headquarters, Chu Lingyun has no time to develop these informants. Now that he has time, he first wants to establish his own informant network.

"It's his blessing that you can see him, as long as you are free, you can."

Wang Sheng immediately replied that if his uncle could be favored by Chief Chu, his status would be stronger in the future.

"That's all for today. Let's go there now."

After Chu Lingyun finished speaking, he stood up. The case had just ended, and the investigation against Jinling University did not need to be so urgent. It was indeed his rare free time.

Wang Sheng was startled, and when he saw that Chu Lingyun had come out, he hurriedly said: "Sir Chu, can I use your phone number to inform him so that he can get ready."

"No need to prepare, I just went over to take a look and recognize the person." Chu Lingyun waved his hand, and Wang Sheng could only leave with him.

He already knew Wang Shengchu Lingyun very well, but he knew nothing about his uncle.

This time, I want to recruit people to become my important informants. It is essential to examine people. Loyalty is the first factor. Ability is not important. If the mouth is weak or has ulterior motives, it is better not to let go of such people.

There are many rickshaw companies in Nanjing. The company where Wang Sheng's uncle works is not big, with only more than 200 rickshaws.

The store they used for business was not big, but the location was good. Wang Sheng brought Chu Lingyun to his uncle's company, and happened to see his uncle talking to someone at the door.

"Second uncle."

Wang Sheng got out of the car and shouted hurriedly, but the others did not leave. He ran over to open the door for Chu Lingyun and respectfully welcomed Chu Lingyun out of the car.

Liu Chengzhu was stunned for a moment. Wang Sheng's attitude towards the people in the car made his eyes tighten, and he didn't care that the person in front of him ran over immediately.

"Xiao Sheng, who is this?"

Liu Chengzhu took the initiative to ask. Chu Lingyun was wearing plain clothes and looked very young. He was smaller than his nephew Wang Sheng, but he had an extraordinary bearing.

He had long heard his nephew say that only those who met a noble person would be promoted so quickly. That noble person worked in the mysterious department and had great power. It was just a matter of words to help his nephew get promoted.

The busiest things my nephew did before were all tasks arranged by this noble man.

"Second uncle, this is Commander Chu."

Wang Sheng made a quick introduction, and Liu Chengzhu immediately clasped his fists respectfully and bent slightly: "I have met Chief Chu."

The noble man is indeed his nephew, but I don't know why this mysterious big man came here suddenly. Is he passing by, or is he here specifically?

Liu Chengzhu was a little uneasy. He was not a big shot, or he was just an ordinary person.

Before, he was just the accountant of the rickshaw company. If his nephew hadn't suddenly flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, he would still be the accountant and there would be no way he would be the deputy manager.

"Don't be nervous, I'm fine today, I just came over to take a look."

Seeing that Liu Chengzhu was a little flustered, Chu Lingyun comforted him and walked towards them.

"Manager Yang, I'm sorry, I have a guest coming to visit. I will greet you another day."

Liu Chengzhu followed Chu Lingyun, not forgetting to say hello to the man who just spoke before sending him away.

The world is big and the earth is big, and Chief Chu has the biggest problem.

After the nephew becomes successful, the whole family is counting on him, and the nephew's nobles are more important.

The rickshaw company has a small front and not many people inside. There are three men sitting in shorts and sleeveless jackets. Their tops are white, but because they have been worn for too long, their clothes have turned a little black.

This kind of clothes is similar to a vest, but it has buttons made of coarse cloth. The three of them did not button their clothes, and they opened their arms and looked carefully at the people who came in.

The three of them have dark skin and deep wrinkles on their faces. They look like coolies of this era.

"Xiao Sheng, what are you doing here, Commander Chu?"

While Chu Lingyun was looking at their company, Liu Chengzhu hurriedly approached his nephew and asked in a low voice.

"Chief Chu asked about you today and came here to see you."

Wang Sheng told the truth. In fact, he did not expect that Chu Lingyun would suddenly come to see his uncle.

“How many rickshaws does your company have?”

Chu Lingyun asked suddenly, and Liu Chengzhu hurriedly stepped forward and quickly replied: "Our company has a total of 270 vehicles, but four of them have broken down recently, and there are only 266 vehicles running now."

"Where are your coachmen from? Do you know their details?"

Chu Lingyun asked again. The most important thing for an informant is to keep secrets. If there are too many people, not only will he not be able to get the clues he wants, but the secrets may even be leaked.

"It's clear. Almost all of our people here come from the surrounding areas. They are all powerful coolies. Their families are clean and they are easy to use."

Liu Chengzhu's company is a small company. They don't have many people, so management is relatively easy. They recruit mostly local and surrounding people.

"Tell me the details of your company." Chu Lingyun asked casually after briefly looking at the company's situation.

With more than 200 rickshaws, the company is indeed a bit small. Nanjing is a big city and the total number of rickshaws in the city exceeds 10,000. More than 200 rickshaws are very inconspicuous.

Liu Chengzhu glanced at Wang Sheng and carefully introduced his company.

Their company has 270 cars, but only 190 of them belong to them. The remaining 80 are self-purchased cars, which means that the car driver bought the car himself and put it under their company's name.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Not to mention today, many taxi companies in later generations still have this model.

After asking Liu Chengzhu, Chu Lingyun chatted with the three people sitting in the company.

The three of them were a little worried, but Chu Lingyun had a very good attitude and was very polite. Not only did he give them cigarettes, but he also took the initiative to sit next to them and chat. Gradually, the three of them relaxed and talked more.

The three of them are all rickshaw drivers employed by Liu Chengzhu's company. They are the kind of coolies who don't have their own cars and work purely as part-time workers.

Three of the company's four broken down vehicles were the ones they usually pulled.

There is no car to pull, and they have nothing to do at home, so they wait at the company to see who comes back to deliver the car temporarily, and they can go out to pull work for half a day and earn more money.

Chu Lingyun mainly asked about Liu Chengzhu. According to the three people, Manager Liu was usually pretty good. He never felt sorry for them when he was an accountant, and he was never delayed in paying money.

As for the people in the company, they are indeed mostly from the surrounding areas, and there are also some poor people in the city.

"Xiao Sheng, what's going on?" Liu Chengzhu asked worriedly while Chu Lingyun was chatting with the three coachmen.

"It's a good thing, second uncle. If Chief Chu takes a fancy to you, you will become famous in the future."

Wang Sheng whispered, Liu Chengzhu was stunned, and then his heart tumbled crazily.

Will the noble nephew take a fancy to him?

How is this possible? He is just the deputy manager of a car dealer. It doesn't matter. He has no connections and no outstanding abilities. Wang Sheng is the most powerful person in their family now, but Wang Sheng is just an inconspicuous subordinate of Guiren.

He really couldn't figure out what the noble man liked about him.

But if this is true, it is definitely a rare opportunity for him, even the greatest opportunity. If he can be under the disciple of such a noble person, not to mention he will be as brilliant as his nephew in the future, at least he will be much better than he is now.

After chatting for a while, Chu Lingyun got to know Liu Chengzhu somewhat. Judging from his personality, he was not bad. He could not be said to be very honest and loyal, but he was not a treacherous person.

This kind of person is available, and Chu Lingyun is willing to give him a chance.

It's a pity that this company is a bit small and the help to him is limited, but this is not a problem. With him, Chu Lingyun can let him directly start a larger company even without any framework.

"Wang Sheng, let's go back first."

Chu Lingyun ordered, and Liu Chengzhu hurriedly sent them to the car. He wanted to ask several times, but in the end he didn't dare to ask.

Wang Sheng was also very worried, but Chu Lingyun didn't say anything, and he also didn't dare to ask anything.

"Wang Sheng, I will give you money later, and you will come forward to buy your uncle's rickshaw company."

In the car, Chu Lingyun suddenly said, Wang Sheng was stunned, and immediately said in surprise: "Yes, Chief Chu, I will handle this matter today."

Because Wang Sheng kept it secret, he never told his family what his nobleman did specifically. He only said that it was a mysterious department, but he knew what kind of unit the Military Intelligence Department was.

His power is astonishing, and he mainly fights against foreign spies.

The first time he met Commander Chu was because he found a hidden spy.

So he understood very well Chu Lingyun's real intention in letting him buy the rickshaw company.

Buying the rickshaw company was not something Chu Lingyun did impulsively. He needed his own informants on the periphery, and they had to be loyal to him.

These informants had nothing to do with the Military Intelligence Service and belonged to him alone.

By buying the company, you can better control these drivers. From now on, you will be their food and clothing parents, and Liu Chengzhu will be responsible for managing them.

When they are needed, they are easier to direct.

Rickshaw companies are not cheap, but Chu Lingyun is not short of money now. Although Nanjing will fall soon, these people at the bottom will still stay in Nanjing after the fall.

At that time, they can also be brought to Chongqing, or they can stay and become the chess pieces they have arranged in advance.

Back at the Military Intelligence Department, Chu Lingyun called Ni Loach and gave him a piece of paper with simple information written on it.

"This man's name is Liu Chengzhu. Go and find out his details. Remember, you must not tell anyone about this matter."

To use Liu Chengzhu, his investigation is indispensable, and Ni Loach can do this.

"Yes, team leader, is he a spy?"

Ni Loach accepted the order and asked curiously. Chu Lingyun glared: "Don't think that everyone is a spy. To tell you the truth, this is the agent I am looking for. I need him to help me with my private business."

"Understood, I'll go right away and make sure I find out all his details."

Loach stood up straight. It turned out to be the team leader's private matter. It seemed that after the team leader had more money, he also wanted to use money to make money and was preparing to do some business.

This kind of thing is too common. Which high-ranking member of the Communist Party of China doesn’t do this kind of thing outside?

Although it was a private matter, Ni Loach did not dare to be careless in the slightest. He was more attentive than when he was on office errands. Moreover, he handled it alone without any subordinates, in order to help Chu Lingyun keep the secret.

The more people who know, the greater the possibility of leaking the secret. If the Inspection Section finds out, even if the team leader is fine, he will still be in trouble. Now the Inspection Section looks down upon their Operations Section, especially the Fourth Operations Group.

The most important point is that no officer’s private affairs are trivial. If you can handle them, it shows that you are truly one of your own.

Thanks to the group leader for the 500 starting coin reward.
