Spy Shadow

Chapter 20 New Investigation

"Captain, I'm going to investigate now to see if they called a rickshaw again at Wanhui Mall."

Shen Hanwen immediately answered. He had only investigated the rickshaws that went to work near Jinsan Lane before. After finding the person, he took him directly back to the Military Intelligence Office without having time to conduct follow-up investigations.

"You don't have to go, Zhong Hui. You can take people to continue checking rickshaws. Hanwen has other tasks."

Chu Lingyun shook his head. Shen Hanwen had other purposes. He did not let him continue the investigation. After giving instructions for the meeting, he said to Wang Yuemin:

"Webmaster, if they haven't left the city, I have a new direction of investigation. I need to verify it now and report to you when I come back."

"Go ahead, leave early and come back early."

Wang Yuemin did not refuse, even though the mission went wrong and their actions were discovered by the enemy, causing all the spies to go offline.

But Wang Yuemin understood that this did not mean that Chu Lingyun did not do well. Chu Lingyun's performance in the past few days had made him very satisfied. It was just that the Japanese spies were more cunning than they thought.

…

"Captain, where are we going?"

Shen Hanwen drove the car and turned around to ask Chu Lingyun. Before Yang Jian's interrogation was over, the captain came out in a hurry, taking only himself with him. He understood that there must be a more important task.

"Go to all the places that sell high-end cosmetics." Chu Lingyun closed her eyes and rested, and said calmly.

"Ah, cosmetics?"

Shen Hanwen was startled. He was a standard bachelor. If you asked him about a pub or where a man's paradise is, he would be unambiguous. But he had never bought cosmetics before and had no idea where they were sold.

"I don't know where to buy high-end cosmetics."

Shen Hanwen said hurriedly, Chu Lingyun opened his eyes and scolded: "If you don't know, just ask, what does the long mouth do?"

Chu Lingyun didn't know where to buy high-end cosmetics. His predecessor was also a straight man. He had been in the army after graduating from the military academy. When he came to the Military Intelligence Office, he only obeyed Wang Yuemin's orders and never went out.

In this city, the predecessor did not know as many places as Shen Hanwen.

"yes."

Shen Hanwen did not dare to refute Chu Lingyun, so he drove to a store and asked several people, finally finding out where high-end cosmetics were sold.

In Hankou, there are three main places where you can buy high-end cosmetics.

Japanese Concession, French Concession and Wanhui Shopping Mall.

Chu Lingyun first chose the Japanese Concession. After all, those two people were Ichiro Watanabe's emergency contacts, and there was a high possibility that they were Japanese.

There are three foreign companies selling cosmetics in the Japanese Concession. Chu Lingyun goes to each house and smells them.

Shen Hanwen kept his head down the whole time. He didn't understand why the captain was interested in these women's things. Besides, he hadn't heard that the captain had a girlfriend.

"Let's go to the French Concession."

After the three foreigners finished their trip, Chu Lingyun directly told Shen Hanwen that there was nothing he was looking for here.

Of the four flavors he remembered, none of them were the same here. There was almost no chance that the female spy would come here to buy cosmetics.

Women actually have a habit of using cosmetics. They will use whatever they like often and generally won’t change it unless there is something better.

In this era, there are not many types of high-end cosmetics, and very few are replaceable.

There are four foreign companies selling cosmetics in the French Concession. Here, Chu Lingyun finally found a familiar taste.

The shampoo used by the female spy at home was a hair care product called Bacon Shampoo Balsamic Water, which was sold by two foreign companies in the French Concession.

In addition to shampoo, Chu Lingyun also discovered the smell of perfume. A small bottle of a high-end perfume from France costs sixty-five yuan, which is more than Chu Lingyun's current monthly salary.

There is only one foreign company that sells perfume, and it doesn't have much in stock.

Of the four flavors that he wrote down, Chu Lingyun could only find two in the French Concession, and the rest didn't match up. He still had the last place left, Wanhui Mall, which he had never been to.

"Captain, what do you do with these cosmetics?"

On the way to Wanhui Mall, Shen Hanwen finally couldn't help but ask. He was too curious. What Chu Lingyun did was completely inconsistent with his usual style.

"Investigating the case."

"Investigating the case?"

Shen Hanwen's eyes widened. It was unheard of to investigate a case by looking at cosmetics.

"Don't ask so many questions and drive with peace of mind."

Chu Lingyun did not explain the reason to Shen Hanwen. It was not necessary. The explanation would take a long time. He could just report it to Wang Yuemin later.

Shen Hanwen didn't dare to ask any more questions and drove all the way to Wanhui Mall.

Here, all four flavors of cosmetics that Chu Lingyun found in the spy's home are available.

The shampoos and perfumes found in the French Concession are all sold here, and the price of the perfume here is lower, only 60 yuan.

The other two flavors, namely Sunsilk Cream and Shuangmei Toilet Water, are also imported. Shuangmei Toilet Water is produced in Hong Kong. At this time, Hong Kong was still under the control of the United Kingdom.

The cosmetics that the female spy uses daily are most likely purchased here.

"Go back to the station."

After the confirmation, it gave Chu Lingyun a lot of confidence to track down the two escaped spies. The breakthrough point was the female spy.

Go back and keep an eye on the sales points of Wanhui Shopping Mall. As long as she comes to buy cosmetics, she will be discovered by them and find their new hiding place.

Shen Hanwen took Chu Lingyun back to the office. After returning, several members of the third team immediately grabbed him and asked him what he was doing out there. Even without Chu Lingyun's gag order, he said nothing.

What should I say, following the captain to look at a bunch of women's cosmetics?

Regardless of whether the captain would be angry or not, others had to believe that the two of them ran out to look at the cosmetics for a long time.

"Captain, you are back."

Only Loach greeted Chu Lingyun, helped Chu Lingyun dust himself off with a smile, and did not forget to report: "Captain, the interrogation team called just now. Yang Jian has been crying since he knew that he had become an accomplice of a Japanese spy. Then I clamored to see you."

"See me, what does he want to see me for?"

Chu Lingyun frowned. Yang Jian was not wrong, but he unintentionally acted as a substitute for the Japanese. This was a serious crime.

In this era, it can be said to be a capital crime.

"I don't know either. If you don't want to see him, I'll call the interrogation team right now."

"No, let's go and take a look."

Chu Lingyun had no sympathy for Yang Jian. He was unaware of it, but he enjoyed the benefits that the spy gave him. He earned a high salary, lived in a mansion, and had people to serve him.

Since you enjoy it, you must pay the price for what you have done.

You can go to Wang Yuemin's place later. There is still time to meet this Yang Jian.

In the torture room, Yang Jian was still hanging, with bloody whip marks all over his body. According to the interrogation team, Yang Jian kept crying out for injustice at first. After the interrogator told him the seriousness of the matter, he cried bitterly and regretted it. Incessantly.

"Yang Jian, this is Captain Chu. If you have any last words, you can tell Captain Chu."

The interrogation team pointed at Chu Lingyun and said to Yang Jian.

The lackeys of Japanese spies like him will not go through trial at all and will be shot directly, and it will not be delayed for too long. If the delay is too long, they will have to feed them with food.
