Spy Shadow

Chapter 231 Oriental Chess Club

After understanding what Virgo really meant, Chu Lingyun could only go all out on this case.

No wonder he was given such great power. Virgo was completely disappointed with Hangzhou Station, otherwise he would not be allowed to be a team leader to command the station chief.

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

Cai Zheng responded hurriedly that Chu Lingyun wanted to see the files, which he had expected. If someone took the lead in solving the case, it was impossible to just listen to his description. Many things needed to be read in more detailed written records.

The file is not thick. Cai Zheng does not know the specific time when Ren Cheng was instigated by the Japanese to rebel, but he has a rough guess.

This time should not exceed half a year. Half a year ago, their investigation against the Japanese was normal. At that time, they also caught two traitors and a Japanese spy.

Everything went wrong when dealing with the Japanese in the past six months. Station Commander Cai had doubts before the order from the headquarters came down. After the order arrived, he used false information to finally find out Ren Cheng.

In his opinion, unknown enemies are the most terrifying. After the traitor was exposed, he wanted to use Ren Cheng to provide false information to the Japanese, trying to catch a few more spies at a time, and then catch Ren Cheng.

Use the captured spies to make up for the losses caused by leaked intelligence.

The ideal was very full, but reality gave him a heavy blow.

The spy was not caught, and Ren Cheng ran away again. The attempt was all in vain, making him very passive now. If Secretary Qi hadn't helped him deal with the situation, he might have been captured back to the headquarters.

"Stationmaster Cai, let me take a look at the specific circumstances of the case first."

Chu Lingyun took over the file. The case was important and Hangzhou Station had already wasted a lot of time. The next time was even more urgent and the traitor must be found as soon as possible.

Although Virgo did not allow him to solve the case within a time limit, he was very aware of the pressure Virgo was under at this time and must capture the escaped traitor as soon as possible.

"You look first."

Cai Zheng nodded quickly, while Zhu Qingze sat aside. His mission was to protect Chu Lingyun rather than solve the case.

The superiors did not give him new instructions this time, which meant that his mission had not changed. Chu Lingyun solved the case and he served as a bodyguard. If he was used in the process of solving the case, he could get some credit.

Who would have thought that there would be cases to handle even in Hangzhou? It was worth it to come here in person this time.

The content of the dossier is small and not complicated.

Cai Zheng, the webmaster, still has certain abilities. He used four different pieces of false information to successfully trick the traitor into revealing himself. Unfortunately, after discovering the traitor, he did not arrest him immediately. Instead, he was greedy and wanted to turn the traitor into his pawn and lure the Japanese to take the bait.

Cai Zheng wanted to be a chess player, but he was not strong enough. His chess piece ran away and overturned the chess board.

Ren Cheng is the deputy leader of the intelligence team. This deputy leader was personally promoted by Cai Zhengzheng. No matter which branch, the intelligence team is very important and is basically under the direct control of the station chief.

The leader and deputy leader of the Hangzhou station intelligence team are all Cai Zheng's confidants.

As the deputy leader of the intelligence team, Ren Cheng knew many secrets of the Hangzhou Station. Needless to say, these secrets must be known to the Japanese.

At present, Ren Cheng has not been brought to justice, and it is not yet clear what information he has disclosed.

Just looking at the files, the case is not complicated. Ren Cheng was instigated by the Japanese and became a spy at Hangzhou Station. Cai Zheng found him and then escaped.

However, many situations in the dossier are not detailed and written in a vague manner.

"Stationmaster Cai, you only searched Ren Cheng's home and also his hometown?"

After closing the file, Chu Lingyun asked softly. Cai Zheng was stunned, and immediately nodded: "Yes, it's a pity that he is not in his hometown, and nothing useful was found in his home."

Ren Cheng is from Jiaxing. His hometown is very close to Hangzhou. 80% of the people at Hangzhou Station are from Zhejiang Province.

When Ren Cheng ran away, he took away all the valuable things at home. He did not return to his hometown. There were not many people in his hometown, only an old lady was there, and now this old lady is missing.

Chu Lingyun secretly shook his head, Station Master Cai's investigation was too one-sided.

Now that it is confirmed that Ren Cheng is a traitor, we must find out everything about him. What is the use of just searching his residence and hometown? Ren Cheng understands the consequences of what he has done being discovered, how could he not take precautions?

"Stationmaster Cai, I want to go to all the places I have visited before. Can I do it?"

The case was important, and Chu Lingyun could not remain polite and said directly to Cai Zheng.

"All the places you've been?"

Cai Zheng's eyes widened. Ren Cheng was the deputy leader of the station's intelligence team, a high-level official. He had never been suspected before and no one had followed him. How could he know where he had been.

Just by looking at his expression, Chu Lingyun knew that he couldn't do it at all, so he could only sigh: "If you can't find out all the places he has been, just check where he has been. The more detailed the check, the better." Don't just check at the station, let out people, use eye spies, there will always be people you know who have seen him."

"I understand, I'll arrange for someone to check right away."

Cai Zhengzheng nodded immediately, picked up the phone on the table and called his subordinates, asking them to disperse and conduct investigations according to Chu Lingyun's requirements.

Checking the whereabouts is a necessary investigation. After Cai Zheng came back, Chu Lingyun asked again: "When was Ren Cheng's mother picked up and by whom? Was it Ren Cheng herself?"

Cai Zheng checked Ren Cheng's hometown. His hometown is not far away and he can go back and forth in one day.

But no matter how close it was, it was impossible for an old man to run out without any notification. The most likely possibility was that Ren Cheng himself or someone else found by Ren Cheng would pick up his mother.

Ren Cheng is not stupid. Once his affairs are exposed, Hangzhou Station will definitely find his hometown, and then his mother will be in danger.

"She was picked up half a month ago. I don't know who picked her up. I'll ask again."

Cai Zheng shook his head and replied that the people he sent to Ren Cheng's hometown reported that Ren Cheng's mother disappeared half a month ago.

Half a month ago, not long after he discovered that Ren Cheng was a traitor, Cai Zheng felt a little regretful at that time. Since he was sure that Ren Cheng was a traitor, why didn't he think of controlling his family in advance.

"You ask first."

Chu Lingyun frowned, how did Hangzhou Station investigate the case?

He doesn't even know who picked up the traitor. If his subordinates investigate and don't ask questions clearly, they will definitely be scolded.

But Cai Zheng was not his subordinate, and he was the webmaster, so he couldn't scold him directly.

Cai Zhengzheng called his action team leader. He personally took people to Ren Cheng's hometown. After asking a few questions, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Team Leader Chu, my subordinates were stupid. They only asked if Mrs. Ren Cheng was at home, and then asked about the time she left home. They asked if it was the person Ren Cheng picked up, but the neighbors didn't see Mrs. Ren Cheng leave. Not knowing the situation, I have ordered them to immediately go to Ren Cheng’s hometown to verify the situation again.”

As expected, no one was found. Chu Lingyun sighed slightly. With the handling style of Hangzhou Station, I am afraid that for this case, he would have to rely more on his own people.

Fortunately, Zhu Qing is here, so he won't be left without manpower.

Only the ten people brought by Shen Hanwen would not be enough to solve such a case.

"Let them find out as soon as possible. In addition, I want all the phone records of Ren Cheng's home and office, as well as his daily entry and exit records. You can ask the doorman about this."

These are things that are not in the file, so Chu Lingyun can only ask Cai Zheng for them.

"no problem."

Cai Zheng agreed, but he didn't care so much in his heart.

Ren Cheng was a traitor. Even if he contacted the Japanese, how could he use his own phone? Wouldn't that leave a loophole for himself? In his opinion, there was no need to check the phone.

But he is not the one leading the case now. He can only obey all Chu Lingyun's orders. He is armed with Shang Fang's sword. Including him, the station leader, everyone in the entire Hangzhou station can be killed first and then punished.

Even if you don't understand, you can only obey.

These things need to be checked immediately, and it will take time to find out. Chu Lingyun did not intend to waste time, so Cai Zhengzheng called a few people from the Intelligence Department to question them.

The place of inquiry was not in Cai Zhengzheng's office, but in an office.

The first person to enter was Fang Hai, the leader of the intelligence team of Hangzhou Station. Chu Lingyun did not let anyone else follow him. There were only two of them in the office, and they were sitting on the sofa talking.

This avoids giving them the feeling of being interrogated.

"Team Leader Fang, I'm sorry. The case is important and I need to ask you about some things. Please forgive me."

Chu Lingyun holds the paper himself, and he will record the content of the questions himself.

"Team Leader Chu, you're welcome. You can ask whatever you want to know."

Fang Hai hurriedly replied that he did not dare to trust Chu Lingyun. Although they were at the same level, he was the team leader of the headquarters, so he was naturally half a level above him.

What's more, Chu Lingyun has so much power this time that even the webmaster has to obey orders, let alone them.

"What are Ren Cheng's hobbies? Where does he often go? Has he ever taken the initiative to ask for confidential information?"

In order to save time, Chu Lingyun asked several questions at once.

"Ren Cheng is usually quite diligent. His hobby is playing chess. When he has nothing to do, he likes to find people to play chess with. Many people in the station have played with him, but they are not as good as him."

"I don't know where he often goes, but there is one place he definitely goes to frequently, the Oriental Chess Club on Wanhua Road."

"Ren Cheng usually keeps a low profile. I have never seen him take the initiative to inquire about confidential information. However, he is the deputy team leader and many things are not hidden from him, so he knows a lot."

Fang Hai answered quickly, while Chu Lingyun wrote down his hobbies and the Oriental Chess Club.

Ren Cheng likes to play Go, and he has a set of Go in his office. Many people know about his hobby.

"Has there been anything unusual about him in the past six months?"

Chu Lingyun continued to ask, Fang Hai thought for a moment, and then said: "I haven't seen anything wrong with him, but occasionally someone from the chess club calls him and asks him to play chess, and he even called him during a meeting."

The chess club often contacts Ren Cheng? This is a clue, Chu Lingyun writes it down first.

"Any more?"

Fang Hai shook his head and said: "No, he is usually very self-disciplined. He has never done anything else except playing chess."

"Where's his family?"

Ren Cheng has a wife and two children, a son and a daughter. His family members disappeared with him and are now missing.

"His wife has gone to school, is educated, and is quite beautiful. Many people in the station envy him for marrying such a good wife. However, his wife has never been to the station. I only see her occasionally when I go to his house. His wife and children.”

"Does his wife have a job?" Chu Lingyun asked immediately.

"No, the two children are small. Ren Cheng's mother is in her hometown and is physically inconvenient and cannot help them. His wife is taking care of the children at home alone."

Chu Lingyun asked a few more questions, all about Ren Cheng's daily life. After asking, he sent Fang Hai out.

The three captains of the intelligence team were also called over by Chu Lingyun and questioned one by one.

Their answers were similar to Fang Hai's. In their impression, Ren Cheng was usually quite low-key and had no other activities except playing chess.

He never goes to places like casinos and Li Chun Yuan.

No one has ever seen him smoke. In the eyes of many people, he is considered a good man, diligent and family-oriented. No one thought that he would be instigated by the Japanese and become a traitor.

After asking clearly, Chu Lingyun returned to Cai Zhengzheng's office.

"The phone records of Ren Cheng's office have been found, as well as those of his home, they are all here."

When Cai Zheng saw Chu Lingyun, he immediately took out a phone record.

Ren Cheng had a lot of phone calls. The records only lasted for half a year, but were densely packed with more than 20 pages.

"Webmaster Cai, please check off all the phone numbers in the station for me."

Ren Cheng is the deputy team leader of the Hangzhou station. There must be many internal phone calls to contact him. There is no need to check these. Even if they are to be checked, it is not now.

Cai Zheng called a few people to help, and more than half of the phone numbers in the record were immediately missing.

This shows that the main contact with Ren Cheng is the people in the station.

For the next phone number, Chu Lingyun asked Zhu Qing and Shen Hanwen to help them select the duplicate ones first, and then select the number with the most duplicates.

The phone records were soon sorted out, and apart from his home phone number, the number one on the list had called Ren Cheng 23 times.

The second place only has 7 times, which is three times the number of the second place.

"Webmaster Cai, could you please ask someone to find out where these three phone numbers belong immediately?"

This is Hangzhou, not Nanjing. People from Hangzhou Station need to check these things.

The results of the investigation of the three phone numbers came out quickly. The number one on the list belonged to the Oriental Chess Club. The Chess Club did call Ren Cheng frequently. Cai Zheng was not surprised by this result.

He also knew about Ren Cheng's hobbies. Ren Cheng spent half of every month in this chess club, and many people in the chess club were familiar with Ren Cheng.

In his opinion, hobbies like playing chess are nothing, and it is normal to go to chess clubs and communicate with people more often.

Playing chess is an elegant matter. Cai Zheng can also play, but his chess skills are average. He was even envious of Ren Cheng's chess playing skills.

In the Oriental Chess Club, Chu Lingyun narrowed his eyes.

It is normal for the chess club to keep in touch with old customers. People in the chess club often challenge experts. Ren Cheng’s level is very high. If you call him to ask for a match, there is nothing wrong with it from the outside.

Cai Zheng had never had any doubts about the chess club.

If Ren Cheng had not rebelled, all this would be normal, but if he did, it would be suspicious that the chess club had made so many phone calls to him within half a year. These calls required detailed investigation.

There is also a chess club that also needs to be investigated.
