Chapter 141 Warehouse Fire
"loach."
Chu Lingyun called out, and Niu Qiu immediately ran over without taking anything. He said directly, "Team leader, the man who is doing Peng Hao's pedicure is Zhang Bai. He is 38 years old and from Yangzhou. He has been doing pedicure for more than ten years. He works at Deyuanchi and is the best pedicure master there."
All the pedicure masters were investigated by Loach himself. He remembered each one clearly and could describe each one's situation without looking at the information.
Chu Lingyun nodded slightly, finally finding him.
"Keep an eye on Zhang Bai and intensify the investigation into him. Not only his past, but also who has had their pedicures done by him, especially those who frequently have them done by him."
"Yes, Team Leader, do you want to continue investigating the other sixteen people? Their identities are questionable after all."
Chu Lingyun suddenly glared at him: "You are very idle, right? If you have more time, I don't mind arranging more work for you."
"Team Leader, I understand. From now on, I will keep a close eye on Zhang Bai."
Loach was startled and said with his head down that he didn't have the time. Zhang Bai was a big fish, definitely not inferior to Jiang Binghui. If the team leader handed the case to someone else because of his talkativeness, he would be at a great loss.
He was the one who identified the person, but the fruit was picked by others, and he had no place to cry.
"Give me all the information about those seventeen people."
Chu Lingyun suddenly said that Niu Qi dared not disobey his orders. Niu Qi in front of Chu Lingyun was like Wang Yuemin in front of the director.
Everything he has today is given by Chu Lingyun, and he must obey Chu Lingyun's orders.
He gave Master Zhuang a ten-dollar reward and asked someone to send him home, while Chu Lingyun took the information back to the office.
Chu Lingyun looked at the situations of all seventeen people, and finally focused on Zhang Bai.
Zhang Bai had been in Nanjing for a full ten years. If he was a Japanese spy, he had been lurking for such a long time and in such a deep place, so his identity must be very important.
Jiang Binghui has just arrived in Nanjing, and Zhang Bai is very likely to be Jiang Binghui's superior.
Jiang Binghui's is so valuable, not to mention Zhang Bai's.
As for the remaining sixteen people, it was not that Chu Lingyun had no doubts about them, but that he did not dare to investigate and could not investigate.
That's why he asked for the information. Once he got the information, Loach would understand what he meant and would not take the initiative to investigate these people without his permission.
After locking up the documents, Chu Lingyun went to Henian's office.
"I found it, great."
After listening to Chu Lingyun's report, He Nian said excitedly that Chu Lingyun was indeed amazing. Not only did he catch Jiang Binghui, but he also pulled out his superiors.
An agent who has been lurking for ten years, he is of extraordinary significance.
"Section Chief, I plan to keep an eye on Zhang Bai for a while. If he is Jiang Binghui's superior, he must have more than just Jiang Binghui as his subordinates. If we can find all of his subordinates, our gains will be even greater."
"You're right. Keep a close eye on him. This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Don't let anyone know except the operatives."
Henian agreed and said that if they could catch all of Zhang Bai offline, their operations department would definitely make a big splash this time.
As for whether Zhang Bai had other subordinates, he knew it without Chu Lingyun telling him.
Jiang Binghui had just arrived in Nanjing. Could it be that an agent who had been lurking for so many years was just waiting for him?
This is absolutely impossible. Zhang Bai must have other subordinates, and there are quite a few of them.
"Yes, Chief, I have already made arrangements. The surveillance personnel are not allowed to act alone. They are not allowed to contact the outside world until the mission is completed."
"Well done, that's it." Henian smiled and nodded.
In fact, all members of Action Group 4 are new, but new members cannot guarantee absolute safety. What Chu Lingyun did is equivalent to adding another layer of insurance.
Chu Lingyun is so steady despite being young, which He Nian admires very much.
After catching the traitor, He Nian no longer worried about his position. Without any worries, he now wanted to perform better in front of the director and suppress Xu Yi.
Xu Yi is the head of the Intelligence Department. In the director's mind, the Intelligence Department has always been the most important, followed by the Operations Department.
My New Year’s wish is that the Operations Department will be first and the Intelligence Department will be second.
There was no possibility before, but after Chu Lingyun came, he saw hope, and the hope was not small. He would fully support all of Chu Lingyun's actions.
…
Deyuanchi is an old bathhouse that has been established for more than 20 years. Although it is not very big, it is quite famous.
It took Niuqiu some effort to monitor Zhang Bai.
In addition to the large pool and the hall, Deyuanchi also has ten private rooms. Zhang Bai has worked in Deyuanchi for ten years. His skills are very good and he is the designated pedicurist in the private rooms.
Such a single room is indeed convenient for him to make connections.
But at the same time, it also brought great trouble to Niuqiu's surveillance. If he could not monitor the situation inside the single room, he would not know who were the Japanese spies who were actually in contact with him.
It would be too much work to just investigate his customers.
What's more, Zhang Bai has had countless customers in the past ten years. Even Loach cannot find out all of his customers. He can only try his best to investigate his patrons.
Such an investigation is passive, and knowing everything inside the room is active.
Loach is a flexible and versatile person. He got to know the son of the owner of Deyuanchi in half a day. At his suggestion, Deyuanchi decided to do a simple redecoration.
They have remained the same for more than 20 years. The walls of Deyuanchi are a bit dilapidated, especially the walls in the single rooms have fallen off a lot, affecting their grade.
Simple renovations don’t cost much and don’t waste time. They can be completed by adding more people when the store is closed.
Chu Lingyun did not agree with Niuqiu's suggestion to install eavesdropping devices directly during the renovation. He took the opportunity to find out the conditions of all the single rooms and reserved hidden locations for the eavesdropping devices.
Monitoring equipment during this period had to be connected to wires in order to be used.
An old agent like Zhang Bai would definitely secretly inspect the single room after renovation. If a bug was installed during renovation, it would be very likely to be discovered by him.
Chu Lingyun really wanted to know everything about Zhang Bai, but he knew that he couldn't be impatient. Once the other party found out, all his efforts would be wasted.
"Team Leader, this is the latest list I compiled. They're all Zhang Bai's regular customers. However, I've only investigated the past three years. I'll continue investigating the situation before that."
Without installing a bug, Niu Qiu focused his main energy on investigating Zhang Bai's customers. Deyuanchi kept a register of its customers, and he and the young master of Deyuanchi became friends, so it was not difficult for him to find out these things.
Unfortunately, there was a fire in the Deyuanchi warehouse three years ago, and all the previously registered information was burned, otherwise Niuqiu would have been able to find out more information.
"Deyuan Pond caught fire more than once?"
Chu Lingyun looked at the information submitted by Niu Qiu and quickly noticed this information. Deyuan Pond had caught fire twice in the past ten years. The first one was six years ago and the second one was three years ago.
What’s interesting is that both fires occurred in warehouses.
Fire prevention is very important for places like bathhouses. After all, they need to boil water and have a lot of coal stored.
There had been no fires in the business for more than ten years. But after Zhang Bai came, there were two fires in the warehouse. Is there any connection between them?
