Chapter 182 Don’t Guess
In the luxurious office, Henian stood in front of the desk with his head down.
The director read Senri Shiro's confession very carefully, then snorted coldly, "The Japanese really went to great lengths to arrange for early warning personnel. Fortunately, you acted quickly enough and didn't let the traitor escape."
"Yes, Chu Lingyun was only less than a minute faster than that phone call. If it had been a few minutes later, we might not have been able to catch Liu Dazhuang."
He Nian replied in a young voice that if Liu Dazhuang was not caught, Qianlishilang's value would drop a lot.
Although he was credited with capturing the Japanese spy, Senri Shiro's greatest role was to confirm Liu Dazhuang's identity.
Finding a traitor is much more difficult than finding a Japanese spy. If you are not careful, you will become the public enemy of everyone in the department. Fortunately, Chu Lingyun did not let him down and dug out this most hidden Japanese spy.
"What is Han Xianghui doing? Promoting a traitor. Is he serving the Party and the country, or the Emperor?"
The director became more and more angry as he thought about it. After the traitor was caught, he checked the information about Liu Dazhuang. Han Xianghui had a very good evaluation of him. This year, the department was promoting people, and Han Xianghui even wanted to promote him to team leader.
The higher the traitor's position in the department, the greater the harm he will cause in the future.
This time, He Nian didn't dare to respond and just stood there quietly.
Han Xianghui had been with the director longer than he had been, and had always been hardworking and willing to work hard, but it was a pity that he had fallen on hard times this time.
"Did Liu Dazhuang confess?"
The Director asked, and He Nian raised his head hurriedly: "To the Director, no, he hasn't. He is very stubborn. I have tortured him several times, but every time he said that he was wronged."
"Let's go and interrogate Liu Dazhuang. I'll do it myself."
Chu Zuo suddenly stood up. He Nian was startled and hurriedly followed him out.
The director hadn't personally interrogated anyone for several years, but he didn't expect that Liu Dazhuang would set a precedent. This was enough to show the director's hatred for traitors.
Chu Lingyun had just put Senrishiro in the cell, but upon receiving the news, he immediately ran back to the interrogation room.
When he came back, the director was just walking to the door with his men.
"Director, he is Chu Lingyun. He was the one who found out about the two traitors, and he also captured Senri Shiro."
He Nian called Chu Lingyun over. The director smiled and nodded slightly: "Well done, you are a talented person."
"Thank you, Director."
Chu Lingyun stood up straight. The director patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more. Then they went into the interrogation room together.
This celebrity in modern history was the first time Chu Lingyun saw the true face of this celebrity.
Although he seemed kind, Chu Lingyun knew in his heart that he was a truly ruthless person.
Liu Dazhuang was brought over and hung up.
The director was sitting at the interrogation table, and Chu Lingyun was standing behind him. There was no place for him at all.
Not to mention him, Henian was also standing obediently behind him, acting as a protector.
"Virgo, I am wronged."
Seeing the director, Liu Dazhuang immediately shouted. Henian glanced at the director and shouted, "You're still being stubborn. Qianli Shilang, who called you, has been arrested and has confessed. How do you explain yourself?"
"I don't know anything about Senri Shiro. This might be a frame-up by the Japanese."
"Frame you?" The director smiled and said slowly, "Who are you that's so important that they'd go to such great lengths to frame you? I've read your confession. A Japanese spy who had been lurking for several years was exposed just because he framed you. Do you think I'm stupid, or do you think the Japanese are stupider?"
As soon as the director opened his mouth, everyone understood that Liu Dazhuang was completely finished this time.
In the heart of the Virgo, he has already determined that he is the traitor.
"Torture him." The director said lightly, and soon Liu Dazhuang's screams were heard from the interrogation room.
"Virgo, he's too stubborn. He knows he'll die whether he tells or not, so he refuses to admit it."
Henian bent down and said to the director that he had interrogated Liu Dazhuang twice and was very clear about Liu Dazhuang's attitude.
"It doesn't matter. Just keep him patient. Even if he's made of iron, he'll melt here. Make sure he speaks."
As soon as Virgo finished speaking, a man hurried in from outside.
"Virgin."
The man bent down carefully and secretly glanced at Liu Dazhuang who was being tortured.
"Xiang Hui, you're very diligent, so I'm very confident in handing the Inspection Section to you. However, your judgment in employing people is truly poor. You're actually promoting a Japanese spy like this. Are you planning on having him take over my position and serve the Japanese in the future?"
The director's voice was not loud, but it frightened Han Xianghui so much that he almost fell to his knees.
"Director, I know I was wrong. I hired the wrong person, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
Han Xianghui is in trouble because he didn't visit him during the New Year's greetings. Virgos take care of the people around them, but it depends on what the matter is.
Promoting a traitor is something that can be tolerated.
"You are no longer suitable to stay in the Inspection Department. Go to Hangzhou first. Deputy Director Yu has been saying that there is a shortage of staff. Go and help him."
The director spoke slowly. Han Xianghui's forehead was already sweating. He hurriedly lowered his head again and said, "Yes, I will buy a train ticket today and report to Deputy Director Yu."
As the head of the inspection department, he was able to take down the person without any hesitation.
This also allows everyone to see the authority of Virgo.
"Continue to interrogate him and report to me when he speaks."
The director stood up and Henian hurriedly sent him out, giving Han Xianghui a helpless look.
He did not want to implicate Han Xianghui, as Han Xianghui's misfortune would not benefit him in any way. However, since there was a traitor among his men, Han Xianghui could not shirk his responsibility.
Being dismissed and transferred was a good outcome. The director still remembered their old friendship and spared him this time.
Liu Dazhuang didn't say a word in the end and was taken away covered in wounds.
Chu Lingyun returned to the office, took the copied confession and looked at it carefully.
This is Senri Shiro's confession, and the original was taken to the director by Henian.
According to Senri Shiro's instructions, he was lurking in Nanjing only to do these three things, and after completing them he could return to Shanghai.
But he hadn't done anything for all those years until a Sanshan advertisement appeared on the radio and he made the phone call he had memorized so well.
This call was to notify Liu Dazhuang of emergency evacuation. What was the significance of the other two things?
The missing person advertisement published in the newspaper must be a code word. Even Senrishiro himself doesn't know what it means. Only the person who set the code word or wants to use the code word can know it.
But this code word must be very important, otherwise there would be no need to set up special personnel to wait.
After looking for a while, Chu Lingyun still had no clue.
It was a very simple missing person notice, and I had no idea who they were referring to, and I had no idea where my uncle's house was.
Chu Lingyun stopped thinking about the thing that he had no clue about and focused on looking at the second job advertisement.
This is different from a missing person notice. First of all, it has a fixed location, which is Jinling University.
Jinling University is one of the best universities in the country. It has a large number of students and even more teachers. Chu Lingyun is not surprised at all to hear that there are hidden Japanese spies there.
It's easy for people to sneak into a place like this.
However, Senrishiro had been lurking for a long time, and had accepted the mission long ago, just waiting to receive the signal to carry it out.
Based on this calculation, it is most likely that the Japanese spy lurking in Jinling University is a teacher, after all, students do not stay in school for that long.
Jinling University can be investigated, but not openly. In addition, Chu Lingyun does not plan to let his action team investigate, so this matter should be handed over to other people.
"Section Chief, Wang Sheng played a significant role in the capture of Senri Shiro. I promised him that I would help him get promoted to police captain after the arrest."
Chu Lingyun came to Henian to help Wang Sheng show off his achievements.
"No problem, he's just a sheriff. Let him keep up the good work and I can promote him in the future."
Henian laughed. Chu Lingyun himself was excellent, and the people he brought from Wuhan were not bad either.
Loach, Shen Hanwen, and Chu Yuan all performed well. Their operations department captured so many Japanese spies in a row, and these people all made significant contributions.
Even Wang Sheng, who was outside, also made great contributions one after another.
He was the one who found Jiang Binghui and Qian Lishilang. If they hadn't been suppressed by Chu Lingyun, Wang Sheng would have been promoted during the last New Year's greeting.
In front of Chu Lingyun, Henian called the police department. He went to talk to them in person and since it was just a promotion to police captain, there was naturally no problem at all.
"His promotion and transfer order will be issued today."
"Thank you, Chief. I'll go back first."
After helping Wang Sheng get promoted, Chu Lingyun planned to let Wang Sheng conduct the next investigation into Jinling University.
He is not in a hurry to get the results of the investigation. He can investigate slowly, but he must be steady. What needs to be investigated must be investigated thoroughly, but things that should not be investigated must never be touched.
Wang Sheng is obedient and capable, and he is very suitable to do this job.
…
Shanghai Special High Section, Beichuan Ming’s face was gloomy.
So many days have passed, and Mount Fuji has not returned, which makes him realize that Mount Fuji will never come back.
He was still a step too slow and failed to rescue the ace agent.
Sakura was sure that something had happened, so he asked Sakura's liaison to return to Shanghai to report, but there was no response from their radio station afterwards. If something had happened to the liaison, Sakura naturally could not escape.
The successive losses made him feel a little breathless.
"Section Chief, you're looking for me?"
Jiang Tengkong came to Beichuan Ming's office and knelt respectfully opposite him.
He was originally a military attaché at the Wuhan Consulate, but his real job was to collect intelligence. A series of incidents occurred in Wuhan, and the Japanese intelligence agencies suffered heavy losses, so he was called back to the country for investigation.
Jiang Tengkong used a lot of connections and finally saved himself, but his rank of lieutenant colonel was demoted to major, and he was forced to make amends for his crime and work in the Shanghai Special High Section.
"Jiang Teng, I have a new mission for you. Go to Nanjing and investigate our rival's military intelligence department. Find out what major operations they've taken recently, and most importantly, why we've suffered such heavy losses."
Beichuan Ming said expressionlessly that he didn't like Jiang Tengkong very much, otherwise he wouldn't have given him such a dangerous mission.
Jiang Tengkong hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Section Chief, I have some theories about the situation in Nanjing. When I was in Wuhan, I encountered a very powerful opponent named Chu Lingyun. Several of my intelligence teams in Wuhan were destroyed by him. Later, I heard that he was transferred to the Nanjing headquarters. Our recent losses in Nanjing are likely related to him."
"Chu Lingyun? Do you have detailed information about him?" Beichuan Ming asked curiously.
"Yes, Chu Lingyun is 22 years old this year and just graduated..."
Before Jiang Tengkong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Beichuan Ming: "What are you talking about? A 22-year-old man. He captured my entire intelligence team, plus the ace agent who infiltrated the Military Intelligence Department?"
Is Jiang Tengkong's head filled with feces?
Intelligence work is not about fighting and killing. Not to mention a newly graduated student, even an experienced intelligence officer who has been working in the field for many years may not be able to do this.
"He's young, but he's really capable, so I guess..."
Beichuan Ming waved his hand and said, "I don't want speculation, I want facts. Get ready immediately and leave for Nanjing today. Be sure to find out the truth for me."
"Hai." After being interrupted twice, Jiang Tengkong lowered his head helplessly. Beichuan Ming didn't listen to his guesses, so he could only do what he was told.
Now that he is a criminal, there is no room for bargaining.
Two hours before Jiang Tengkong boarded the train, Shen Hanwen also boarded the train. He was called back to the headquarters by Chu Lingyun.
Chu Yuan also went back with him. Chu Yuan was attacked last time and his arm was injured. Several of his brothers were also injured. They had been recuperating in Shanghai for some time and were now called back by Chu Lingyun.
The previous case has been closed and they are going back to accept the reward.
The reward for Chu Yuan was announced first. As expected, Chu Yuan's rank was promoted to second lieutenant. After he returns to receive his rank, he will officially become the captain of a small team.
Shen Hanwen was convinced by Chu Yuan's reward.
Chu Yuan made a great contribution in this traitor case. Chu Lingyun only found the suspect for him, and he was the one who investigated and verified everything afterwards, and finally confirmed Liu Dazhuang's identity as a traitor.
The case of traitor will not be reported, but will be commended internally, so he will be rewarded the fastest.
Chu Yuan was promoted based on the fact that he captured four Japanese spies in Tianjin. It was his team that captured the Japanese spies in Tianjin, and then they captured three more. Although Chu Yuan did not go, it was his team that took action, so the credit can be given to him.
"Team leader."
The two of them came to Chu Lingyun's office together and saluted together.
Their military salute was much more standard than Loach's. Both of them were military men, unlike Loach, who was a gangster and didn't care about these things at all.
"Are you back?" Chu Lingyun stood up and took them to the sofa next to him to sit down.
"Chu Yuan, thank you for your hard work. You did a good job."
Chu Lingyun first patted Chu Yuan's arm. This time, Chu Yuan had traveled to many places to find the traitor. He had lost a lot of weight and his skin was darker than before.
"Team leader, this is what I should do." Chu Yuan grinned. He was a little shy and didn't know what to say.
"I'll take a good rest for a few days after returning this time and fully recover my body."
Hearing the team leader asking him to rest, Chu Yuan said anxiously: "Team leader, I am well now and can work at any time."
"Rest well when you are told to rest. This is an order."
Chu Lingyun glared at him, and Chu Yuan immediately lowered his head and dared not speak again.
His previous injury has not healed yet. His work attitude is good, but Chu Lingyun will not let him go into battle with an injury. It just so happens that there are no cases to investigate recently, so he has time to heal his injury completely.
Looking at Shen Hanwen, Chu Lingyun jokingly said, "Is the food in Shanghai so good? I've gained weight."
Shen Hanwen scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's mainly because I've been monitoring those two bastards every day. I haven't been exercising and I've been eating a lot, so I've gained some weight."
Thanks to Xia Zhihong and Zaidaguanren for the reward of 1500 starting coins each. This is the first update.
