Spy Shadow

Chapter 185 Immediate results

In addition to Wang Sheng, Chu Lingyun has one more informant on the outside.

The more informants there are, the better it will be to solve the case in the future, but just the two of them are not enough.

However, developing informants is not something that happens overnight. Chu Lingyun is not in a hurry. He will take down the rickshaw company first. At least there will be more available manpower in the periphery.

"Team leader, there is nothing wrong with Liu Chengzhu."

Loach investigated quickly and gave Chu Lingyun feedback the next day.

Through Liu Chengzhu's neighbors, classmates, and people around him, Ni Lu inquired about his past. Liu Chengzhu had studied, but not in the current education method, but in a private school.

His educational level is not too high, and he has no problem writing and calculating, otherwise he would not be able to be an accountant.

He usually doesn't have any bad habits and doesn't come into contact with too many people. He is just a normal ordinary person.

"Okay, I get it."

Chu Lingyun asked Ni Loach to go back, as long as there was no problem. After Wang Sheng bought the rickshaw company, he directly asked Liu Chengzhu to be the company manager.

After his rank rose and he was given a little salary increase, Liu Chengzhu became his person.

Outside Xuanwu Lake, there is an antique street.

Jiang Tengkong was wearing a white suit and wandered slowly in various stores, carefully admiring the antiques in the store.

He has a strong interest in ancient Chinese culture and collected many good things when he was in Wuhan.

It's a pity that in order to raise money and build relationships, he sold many of them, but in the end he managed to save his life.

Being only demoted one rank was the best result for him.

After arriving in Nanjing, he was not in a hurry to contact him. He waited for two days before making an appointment with the intelligence agent. He went shopping today to see if anyone was following him.

After wandering around all morning, he walked several uninhabited paths to make sure there were no tails before he arrived at a hotel not far away.

"Where have you been running for so long? You said you wanted me to go to Shanghai, and then suddenly you asked me to come to Nanjing. Where do you want me to go?"

There is a young man sitting in a certain room.

"There are a lot of things going on recently. We will go to Shanghai together in a few days. We have already found a house there."

Jiang Tengkong said softly that he was sent to Nanjing as soon as the house was rented, and the two had no choice but to meet in Nanjing first.

"Jiang Lang, I have no money." The young man pouted angrily.

"You don't, I do."

Jiang Tengkong smiled and took out fifty yuan of French currency from his body. The skinny camel was bigger than a horse. After all, he had been a military attache and the head of the Japanese intelligence department in Wuhan, so he had saved some money.

Jiang Tengkong didn't tell him his true identity and gave him a false name, Jiang Lang.

"Don't be anxious. We'll go to Shanghai after I finish my work. It will probably take about ten days."

Jiang Tengkong's mission is to investigate the recent operations of the Nanjing Military Intelligence Office and find out the reasons for their heavy losses in Nanjing.

He was not Beichuan Ming, and Beichuan Ming didn't believe what he said, but he always believed that the huge losses suffered by the special high school in Nanjing must be because of Chu Lingyun.

Therefore, the target of his investigation was directly set on Chu Lingyun.

He has assigned tasks to the intelligence agents he contacted, focusing on investigating Chu Lingyun from the Military Intelligence Department.

Jiang Tengkong told the intelligence agent about Chu Lingyun and learned that Chu Lingyun was very young. The intelligence agent was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Tengkong's investigation request, but he still accepted the task.

With a direct target of investigation, his task can be much easier. It is much easier than having nothing and letting him find out the truth.

It was the special commissioner who proposed the target of the investigation. Even if no results were obtained in the end, it was not his responsibility. The higher-ups would not be able to pin the responsibility on him at that time.

…

In the rickshaw company, Wang Sheng sat at the manager's desk and watched the man opposite him sign the transfer letter.

Opposite is the original owner of the company, who is also the manager.

He never expected that his nephew, the deputy manager he promoted, would actually like his company.

It's not that he doesn't have a backstage, but at this time Wang Sheng is already the sergeant of the Police Headquarters. His backstage status is inferior to Wang Sheng's. Wang Sheng can take care of everything without Chu Lingyun's intervention.

Fortunately, Chu Lingyun had previously told him not to treat his boss badly.

The rickshaw company has 270 vehicles, but only has 190 of its own vehicles, and they are old vehicles. If the company's license plate was not worth something, Wang Sheng would not have given him the high price of 25,000.

This price is indeed not low.

A new rickshaw probably costs more than 100 French currency each, and used rickshaws are much cheaper, ranging from 50 to 100 French currency.

The total value of the car will not exceed 15,000, plus the license plate of each car, 25,000 is the normal market value of the company.

After getting the money, the original boss reluctantly looked at his office, finally sighed and left.

Although the company was bought by someone, at least the normal market price was given to him. He knew very well that if some people took advantage of it, they might not even give him half of this price.

This kind of thing has happened before. A long-term car dealer he knew had 400 rickshaws. After the backend collapsed, they were forcibly bought for 10,000 French currency. He lost money and could not find his pants.

The person he met this time was quite particular and didn't let him lose money. The price was a small profit.

In this era of cannibalism, those who are inferior to others have no choice but to accept their fate, otherwise he will not even be able to get the money in the end, and may even be imprisoned.

After the manager left, Liu Chengzhu entered the office.

After all, it was his nephew who bought the company. It was inconvenient for him to appear in front of the original boss, so as not to embarrass the original boss.

"Second uncle, this will be your office from now on."

Wang Sheng smiled, while Liu Chengzhu was a little excited. He became the manager so soon? Although the company does not belong to him, he is the nominal leader.

Asking Liu Chengzhu to sit down, Wang Sheng's smile disappeared and his expression turned serious.

"Second uncle, Chief Chu has accepted you. From now on, we uncle and nephew will do good things for Chief Chu. Chief Chu is a very good person, but there is one thing, that is, we must be obedient and complete the tasks given to us. In addition, about him Don't inquire about your identity casually, otherwise you may be shot at any time."

"I see."

Liu Chengzhu nodded hurriedly. He was indeed a big shot. If you inquire about his identity, you might get shot. This is too serious.

Wang Sheng hasn't told him Chu Lingyun's true identity yet. Liu Chengzhu has just taken refuge and will let him know after a while.

"I have a task now. In the future, uncle, your coachmen will be arranged in the area of ​​Jinling University. Let the coachmen pay attention to who often passes by Jinling University and will read the advertisements posted on the door. Especially those who often go to see it must Pay attention."

Wang Sheng has assigned the latest task. He has already ordered his police officers to start investigating, but the police manpower is limited. Now that the rickshaw company has purchased it, they can be involved in the investigation.

These people are real coachmen, and they don't need to ask around for anything. They can notice anyone who passes by or goes out of their way to see the advertisement.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately and ask them to pay close attention to these people."

Liu Chengzhu agreed that this was the first task given to him and he could not be careless in the slightest.

"In addition, Chief Chu has given instructions that the company has too few cars, so he wants you to collect another batch of cars. No new cars are needed, just second-hand cars will do."

With less than 300 vehicles, the scale is indeed a bit small. Chu Lingyun does not need the size of the company to be large, just double it.

There are five to six hundred vehicles, and when they are needed, they can be deployed throughout Nanjing.

"Okay, I'll go buy it. It just so happens that Daihatsu Automobile Dealership has a car they want to sell. It's no problem to buy their used car."

"In addition, if you encounter anyone suspicious while pulling the cart, please report it to me in time." Wang Sheng continued to give instructions.

"What kind of person is considered suspicious?"

"For example, people who speak foreign languages, especially Japanese, and people who seem mysterious and mysterious, who don't like people who do good things, have to report it in time. Second uncle, you are right to report more. Even if the information reported is useless, Chief Chu will not They will blame us."

"I understand, I will explain all these."

Liu Chengzhu nodded. Knowing who was a suspicious person, he knew what he needed to pay attention to.

"Second uncle, I'm leaving first. Don't tell anyone that Chief Chu is the boss. If anyone asks, blame it on me."

Wang Sheng is still very concerned about his uncle, and he is very aware of the current situation of this era.

The rickshaw company is still a good business at the moment. If you don’t have something to rely on, you won’t be able to keep the company.

And his status as police chief is enough to deter those young people from taking any chances with the company.

After Wang Sheng left, Liu Chengzhu immediately recalled some of the drivers and told them that the dealership had a new boss. From now on, he would be the manager of the dealership, and at the same time assigned the previous tasks.

These car dealers have their own territory. Previously, their territory was not at Jinling University, but Wang Sheng is here. They have no problem recruiting people there. Wang Sheng can coordinate everything.

Jinling University is in a good location. People there are rich and expensive, and there are many college students and teachers who often use cars.

Some people there are very generous and will tip them extra on top of the fare.

By moving the carts to another place, the drivers can earn more money and work more energetically.

The four teams of the Military Intelligence Department and the Operations Section have all received orders to release half of their manpower to look for clues about Japanese spies.

The support given to Chu Lingyun by He Nian has begun to be implemented. The operations department is not an intelligence department, but it has more people, and they are all experienced people. If so many people are spread out, they might find useful clues.

"Ring ring ring."

Chu Lingyun was in the office when the phone on the table rang. Chu Lingyun picked up the phone and said softly: "I'm Chu Lingyun, who am I?"

"Sir Chu, it's me, Wang Sheng. My uncle told me a few things. If you have time, I can report them to you."

Wang Sheng called, did Liu Chengzhu report anything?

It had only been three days since the rickshaw company bought it. Chu Lingyun gave Wang Sheng the money and handed over the task and then didn't ask any more questions. Is there something new in just three days?

"What is it specifically?" Chu Lingyun thought quickly, but his tone did not change and he asked calmly.

"His coachman reported several suspects. I felt that there was something wrong with these people, so I called you."

Wang Sheng said quickly and conveyed all the information to Chu Lingyun.

The first suspicious person took a bus to Jinling University from outside. He asked the driver to wait and came out soon after entering the school. There was no problem with this, but after he left, he went directly to a place far away. Newspaper agency.

The entrance to the university and the newspaper office were both places that Chu Lingyun had told him to focus on. Liu Chengzhu was now full of energy and immediately reported the situation to Wang Sheng.

The second thing that was wrong was two people, two men.

One was older and the other was very young. The two obviously had an improper relationship. They did not call rickshaws individually, but chartered a rickshaw. They not only went to Jinling University, but also to places such as Qinhuai River and Confucius Temple.

That alone means nothing.

But when they were chatting, they kept mentioning Wuhan, Shanghai and Nanjing. They talked a lot, but they didn't mention what they were doing or what business they were doing. They were so mysterious that the coachman paid more attention to them.

Liu Chengzhu ordered that if useful information is provided, there will be rewards, but it must be kept confidential.

They don't know what information is useful, so as long as they feel it is useful, they will report it to see if they can get rewards.

This information was reported after Liu Chengzhu screened it. He would screen out some trivial matters that were not problematic first.

The last one was the man who took the initiative to chat with the coachman and talked about Japan. Not only did he not have any hostility towards Japan's occupation of Northeast China, but he kept bragging about Japan's power, which was noticed by Liu Chengzhu.

People who speak Japanese should pay attention, and those who brag about Japanese people should pay even more attention.

After analyzing the news reported by Liu Chengzhu, Wang Sheng felt that it was of some use, so he directly passed it on to Chu Lingyun.

"You go to the company and wait for me, I'll be there right away."

After listening to what Wang Sheng said, Chu Lingyun hung up the phone and frowned in thought.

In just three days, the rickshaw company has collected so much doubtful information. It seems that buying the company is very correct.

Of the three messages, the one boasting about Japan's power is the most suspicious.

Because of the war between Northeast China and Shanghai, people here in Nanjing did not have a good impression of the Japanese. His attitude meant that he was not a traitor but also a person who admired Japan.

But the possibility of a spy is unlikely. A spy would not be so stupid as to talk about this with a coachman.

Chu Lingyun was focused on the second piece of information.

A pair of men mentioned Wuhan and Nanjing many times while chatting, which immediately reminded him of one person.

The martial arts center of the Japanese Consulate in Wuhan was what Hayakawa Hei had told him at the time, and Jiang Tengkong was there.

It couldn't be such a coincidence that Jiang Tengkong came to Nanjing, right?

After thinking about it, Chu Lingyun shook his head. There were not many good people in Long Yang in this era, but after all, there were some. The whole of China was so big, how could he meet him by such a chance.

As for the first one, after going to Jinling University and then going to a newspaper office, and even going to a newspaper office so far away, there is indeed suspicion.

"Sir Chu."

Wang Sheng and Liu Chengzhu had been waiting at the door for a long time, and they greeted Chu Lingyun as soon as he arrived.

"Sir Chu, that's what happened."

Liu Chengzhu recounted the matter in detail in front of Chu Lingyun.

"Call back the driver who pulled them, and I'll ask them."

There is no difference between what Liu Chengzhu said and what Wang Sheng said. Chu Lingyun will have to ask himself whether there is a problem with these people.

If they really have a problem, let alone a Japanese spy, even if they catch a traitor who was bribed by Japan to instigate rebellion, the deal will not be a loss.

"I've already asked someone to call them, and they'll probably be back soon."

The rickshaw drivers were all working outside. If Wang Sheng hadn't heard Chu Lingyun say he was coming and asked Liu Chengzhu to call them back in advance, the wait would have been even longer.
