Chapter 140 Personal Habits
After sending his parents to the boat, Chu Lingyun returned to the car only when the boat disappeared from view.
The parents attach great importance to other people's affairs. They think that the money belongs to Smith. Since Smith gave the money, they must help him fulfill his wish as soon as possible.
Based on Chu Lingyun's understanding of his parents, they would definitely spend all of the 20,000 US dollars on the school and he would not keep a single cent.
Chu Lingyun did not keep all of his father's $1,000 salary. After much persuasion, he finally let them take away $500.
Without money, it would be inconvenient for them to live there.
He gave them his own money, but they refused to take it, which really gave Chu Lingyun a headache.
Fortunately, Chu Lingyun had a perfect reason. They could endure a little hardship, but what about Xiaoya? His sister was so young and in the period of growth, so he absolutely had to satisfy her with food.
Five hundred dollars is enough to sponsor the dozen or so students in Ningcheng. If it is really not enough, he can contribute a little bit to ensure that these children will not suffer any injustice.
In the end, the parents accepted Chu Lingyun's suggestion and took away the $500. Their son was right. It was okay for the couple to suffer a little, but they couldn't let their daughter suffer.
"Team leader, you're back." When he returned to the department, Loach was standing outside his office door.
"Go inside and talk."
Chu Lingyun opened the door, and after he came in, Niu Qiu immediately reported: "The details of the 102 people have been fully investigated, and 85 of them have been cleared of suspicion."
It is not easy to investigate more than one hundred people. We have to investigate their past, their hometowns, etc. to confirm that it is them.
It is not easy for Loach to complete the investigation in seven days.
"There are still seventeen suspects?"
Chu Lingyun frowned. After a comprehensive investigation, there were still seventeen suspects left, which was a considerable number.
"These seventeen people either have unclear pasts or have no one in their families left, so there's no way to verify their identities."
Loach said hurriedly that he was depressed about the many suspects left, but he really tried his best and couldn't find out what happened to these people in the past.
"It's okay, you did a great job. Go find some people and have them come to the place where these seventeen people are, and tell them not to investigate anything while they're doing it. They can chat with the pedicure masters, but they must pretend to be ordinary people and never reveal their identities."
The first set of plans is complete, and now we can proceed to the second set of plans.
Compared with the previous 102 people, 17 people are already a lot fewer. Chu Lingyun believes that the person who is in contact with Jiang Binghui is getting closer and closer to them.
"yes."
Loach took the order and left. He could just let Loach do this kind of thing. There was no need for Chu Lingyun to follow him personally. With Loach's ability, there would be no problem at all.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Loach returned with seventeen people.
"Everyone, put your feet down and don't move. Hu Qi, what did I tell you? Don't pick your feet. If you do, I'll chop off your claws."
Loach kept scolding, and more than a dozen people in the large office took off their shoes and raised their feet. Fortunately, they had just had their pedicures done, so the smell was not strong, otherwise no one would be allowed to enter the office.
After Chu Lingyun came in, the noisy office suddenly became silent.
After finding out the traitor and arresting Jiang Binghui, Chu Lingyun completely established his authority in Action Group 4. Everyone admired their young team leader very much.
They have only heard about what happened in Wuhan, but have not seen it. These are things they have experienced firsthand.
Those cunning Japanese spies had previously fooled the Intelligence Department and the Operations Department, but as soon as their team leader arrived, their true colors were revealed.
"Team leader, Master Zhuang will be here soon."
Loach ran up to Chu Lingyun with a smile on his face. This pedicure case was purely a bargain he had picked up.
Jiang Binghui is the person under Shen Hanwen's responsibility. If his ability was not much stronger than Shen Hanwen, the team leader would not have transferred this task to him.
"Very good. Let Master Zhuang take a good look at it when he comes. Have you brought all the photos?" Chu Lingyun nodded and asked one last question.
"I got it, I got it, here it is."
Loach hurriedly pointed to the photos he had gotten from Shen Hanwen and showed them to Chu Lingyun. The photos were placed on the table. There were a total of sixteen photos, and every part of Jiang Binghui's feet was clearly captured.
When Niu Qiu thought about Shen Hanwen's jealousy when he went to ask for the photos, he felt particularly refreshed. All the hard work during this period was finally not in vain.
In fact, he and Shen Hanwen have a good relationship in private. They were in the same team when they were in Wuhan, and they came to Nanjing together with Chu Lingyun, so they naturally feel close.
But since both of them are team leaders, there must be competition between them. In this case, Niu Qiu completely defeated Shen Hanwen, proving that he is the most useful person around the team leader.
As he was speaking, two of Loach's men came in with Master Zhuang. This time, Master Zhuang was not so nervous, as he thought, "first time, new; second time, familiar."
He already understood that the commander here was a good man and he really wanted him here just because he valued his craftsmanship.
"Hello, sir."
When he saw Chu Lingyun, Master Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to greet him. Fortunately, the kneeling ceremony had been abolished long ago, otherwise he would not dare to kneel down and kowtow.
"Master Zhuang, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
Chu Lingyun smiled and spoke kindly. Master Zhuang quickly replied, "It's no trouble. This is all I have. It's my honor to serve you, sir."
"Master Zhuang, please take a look and see if any of the feet these people have repaired use the same technique as the pair of feet you saw before."
Chu Lingyun asked Master Zhuang to go over and look at the feet of the seventeen people.
Seventeen people were all sitting near the window, where the light was good and convenient for Master Zhuang to observe.
Master Zhuang bent over and looked carefully at everyone's feet, turning them over from time to time.
It took him a full half hour to look at the feet of all seventeen people.
"Master Zhuang, this is a photo of the previous pair of feet. You can compare them."
Loach took Master Zhuang to the photos again. Master Zhuang picked up the photos and looked through them carefully one by one. Then he walked up to one person and compared the photos with them.
Finally he shook his head and walked towards another person.
When it came to the third person, he lingered the longest, and finally nodded and said, "This is it. This was made by the same person, there's no doubt about it."
Found it, Chu Lingyun stood up from the chair and walked over quickly.
Looking at the photo and the retouched feet, Chu Lingyun couldn't tell the difference at all. They were both feet after all, just a little better looking after the retouching.
"Master Zhuang, please take a closer look. Are you sure it's him?"
Since it was a Japanese spy, Chu Lingyun couldn't be careless. He asked again. Master Zhuang squatted down and compared carefully again, then stood up and said, "It must be him, sir. Look here, this man used a pinching knife method to do his pedicure, and he likes to use a thin skin to smooth the edges. These marks are exactly the same as in the photo. The others are different, only this one is exactly the same."
Master Zhuang has been engaged in pedicure for more than 30 years. He cannot guarantee other things, but when it comes to pedicure, he is confident that he will never make a mistake.
These two pairs of feet were definitely repaired by the same person.
Everyone has their own habits, and I’m afraid that some of them are not even known to themselves. Their identities can be disguised, but these habits cannot deceive others.
