Chapter 206 Seeking Help from Ling Yun
Noticing Xu Yi's expression, all the team leaders and deputy team leaders became cautious.
Needless to say, the section chief must have been scolded again. He was in a bad mood, and no one dared to provoke him.
"I have already issued a military order to the Director, demanding that we completely crack down on the Japanese spy group. If we fail to do so, I will resign immediately."
Xu Yi said lightly, and everyone's heart tightened. They didn't expect the section chief to issue such a military order.
"If I leave, Ziqi won't be qualified enough. A new section chief will come. You're all my promoted people. You should know exactly how the new section chief will treat you."
Xu Yi spoke slowly and several people lowered their heads, especially Deputy Section Chief Xie Ziqi.
When Xu Yi said he wanted to resign, he did think about whether he could take over as section chief.
Unfortunately, even without Xu Yi reminding him, he knew that he couldn't answer it.
He was promoted to deputy section chief after Xu Yi had been trying to persuade the director for a long time. Xu Yi just didn't want to have a disobedient deputy who would delay his work.
If Xu Yi resigned, he, the deputy section chief, would also be in danger.
"Section Chief, tell me, what should we do?"
A team leader said cautiously, and Xu Yi laughed in anger. He scolded directly: "I asked you to come here to ask you what to do next, not to ask me."
Xu Yi's idea was to pool wisdom and find a way to solve the case.
As a result, before he even opened his mouth, his subordinates asked him directly.
If he had a good idea, why would he just give the order? Why would he need to call them all here?
The team leader who asked the question immediately lowered his head, and the other team leaders and deputy team leaders all frowned.
Recently, their intelligence department's performance has been really poor, but the operations department next door has been catching Japanese spies one after another, and has also arrested a lot of traitors.
Especially in the past few days, the Operations Department kept arresting people from morning to night, which made them almost drool.
"Section Chief, why don't we just arrest the person I'm targeting? Maybe we can find the Japanese spy through him and catch their entire intelligence team."
The leader of Group 2 gritted his teeth and said that he had the closest relationship with Xu Yi.
Now that Xu Yi is no longer in the Intelligence Department, one can imagine what will happen to him in the future. No matter who becomes the section chief, he will not keep his predecessor, who is the most loyal of the loyalists.
"No, we can't arrest people rashly."
Xu Yi immediately shook his head. This person was special and could not be arrested casually, otherwise he would not have waited until today.
"Chief, I have an idea." Xie Ziqi suddenly said.
"What a good idea! Stop hiding it now?" Xu Yi glared at him.
The situation was urgent, but Xu Yi felt secretly resentful that Xie Ziqi hadn't said anything earlier when he had such a good idea. Could it be that Xie Ziqi was really waiting for him to step down so that he could take over his position as section chief?
"Chief, my idea isn't very good, and it requires you to sacrifice your pride."
Xie Ziqi was shocked. If the section chief held a grudge against him, he would be in big trouble in the future.
"Say it first." Xu Yi glared again.
"Yes, Chief, this is what I think. Chu Lingyun is very good at solving cases. The reason why the Operations Department is what it is today is all due to Chu Lingyun's efforts. He Nian acted early and poached people early..."
Before Xie Ziqi could finish his words, Xu Yi interrupted him: "Don't even think about it. The Director will not agree to Chu Lingyun leaving the Operations Department."
How could he not know the situation of the Operations Department? Chu Lingyun has completely revitalized the entire Operations Department. Now, every time He Nian goes to the Director, the Director will greet him with a smile.
He has nothing to say about the achievements of the Operations Department.
But these achievements were not Henian's credit, they were all brought by Chu Lingyun. It was just that he acted too late and didn't think of poaching people, so Henian got there first.
Thinking of Chu Lingyun's performance, Xu Yi felt a dull pain in his heart.
For such a formidable intelligence expert, the Intelligence Department is his true home, where he can play his greatest role. Unfortunately, he ended up in the Operations Department, where he is surrounded by a bunch of reckless men.
"Section Chief, I'm not asking you to poach someone. Could you please talk to Section Chief He? He's still in his operations department. Could he help us temporarily?"
Xie Ziqi said in a low voice, he knew that the director did not agree to release the person.
His goal was to overcome the current difficulties, not to take Chu Lingyun for himself.
"Borrow someone?" Xu Yi's eyes lit up, he held his chin with his right hand and thought carefully.
The subordinates all understood their section chief's habits. At this time, the section chief must be thinking about something, and no one spoke to disturb him.
"Zi Qi, your idea is good. I'll go talk to He Nian about it."
Xu Yi was really anxious. Feeling that the method was feasible, he immediately went to find someone.
"Chief, wait a minute." Xie Ziqi shouted hurriedly.
"You can't just go there. Section Chief He has been on guard against you, fearing that you, Liu Bei, would borrow Jingzhou. How could he possibly agree?"
What He Nian fears most now is not Chu Zuo, but Xu Yi.
Xu Yi kept an eye on his baby every day. Whenever he saw Xu Yi, he would murmur, fearing that Xu Yi would snatch the baby away.
It would be strange if Henian agreed to borrow someone from him at this time.
"Zi Qi, if you have something to say, just say it all at once. Don't drag it out. Let me tell you, if I resign, others might be able to stay in the Intelligence Department for a while, and you will go to Hangzhou with me."
Xu Yi said dissatisfiedly. When Xie Ziqi heard about going to Hangzhou, his heart immediately skipped a beat. He hurriedly said, "What I'm thinking is that we take out the few clues we have now and ask Chu Lingyun for advice. Then you can prepare a generous gift and ask Section Chief He for mercy. We don't need anyone, we just want Chu Lingyun to help us solve the case. Let Chu Lingyun stay in the Operations Department."
And let Chu Lingyun stay in the Operations Department? If so, even if the case is solved, they won't be able to take all the credit. The Operations Department will definitely take a portion.
And the points were quite a lot, but thinking about the current situation and Henian's personality, Xu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Ziqi, you go to Chu Lingyun for advice in person, and I'll go to Henian."
The most important thing right now is to solve the case and regain the trust of the director. Face is not important.
He went to find Henian and asked Xie Ziqi to consult Chu Lingyun. This time, the Intelligence Department completely lost face. No wonder Xie Ziqi said he wanted to give up his face.
But face is nothing. As long as he can keep his position, he would even have to go and ask Chu Lingyun in person.
"Yes, Chief, I will go find Chu Lingyun tomorrow."
"Don't go tomorrow, go now."
Xu Yi shook his head and Xie Ziqi widened his eyes. It was already time to get off work, and if Chu Lingyun hadn't worked overtime, he would have visited his home.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Unfortunately, he didn't dare to disobey the section chief's order. Now he finally understood how great the pressure on the section chief was. He didn't dare to delay for even a moment.
"The meeting is adjourned."
Having made the decision, Xu Yi stopped talking and directly announced the end of the meeting.
He still had to go find Henian in the evening, and he felt uncomfortable at the thought of bowing to Henian. There was no other way. They had to rely on themselves. Xu Yi really had no confidence that they could completely crack the Japanese spy intelligence team.
Only Chu Lingyun has made great achievements in this regard, and only he can do it.
In Wuhan and Nanjing, Chu Lingyun destroyed more than one intelligence team. This achievement was indeed outstanding, which made Xu Yi understand that if he really wanted to get through this difficult time safely, he had to bow his head.
Chu Lingyun did not work overtime today and returned to his residence early.
A case has just been concluded, so there is no rush for the new case. Let Chu Yuan investigate it slowly. As long as there are some results in the end, it will be fine.
“Knock, knock.”
Not long after arriving home, there was a knock on the door. Chu Lingyun was a little surprised. He knew that there were not many people living there and no one usually came to his house. Who could be coming at this time?
"Thank you, Chief."
When Chu Lingyun opened the door, he was very surprised. He thought of his subordinates and Wang Sheng, and never expected that the deputy chief of the intelligence department would come.
Xie Ziqi was not alone, he was followed by three team leaders from the intelligence department.
All three team leaders lowered their heads.
They were at the same level as Chu Lingyun and usually greeted each other when they met, but this time they were sent by the section chief to visit with Xie Ziqi.
They said they were visiting, but in fact they were asking for advice. Invisibly, they were inferior to Chu Lingyun, and they felt mixed emotions.
Unfortunately, there is no way out. It’s their own fault that they are so useless that they have to ask others for help.
"Lingyun, haven't you had a rest?" Xie Ziqi said with a smile.
"No, please come in, Section Chief Xie." Chu Lingyun responded hurriedly.
The deputy director of the intelligence department and the three team leaders were all here? Chu Lingyun was worried. Could it be that the intelligence department wanted to poach him?
"Ling Yun, we're here for a reason. We're here to ask for your help. The Intelligence Department has a few leads, but we haven't made much progress. You're a genius in intelligence, so please help us analyze them."
After Xie Ziqi explained his purpose, Chu Lingyun felt relieved. He was not here to poach people. The Intelligence Department was always trying to poach him, which gave him a headache.
"Thank you, Chief. You are so polite. If you trust me, let's discuss this together."
Chu Lingyun made tea for them and said with a smile.
There are many taboos in the intelligence department, especially the intelligence section. Most people are most afraid of dealing with them.
But this time it was Xie Ziqi who came to him on his own initiative and used the excuse of helping others, so he couldn't refuse.
"How could we come if we didn't trust you?"
Xie Ziqi smiled and shook his head. He was a very versatile person who could say one thing to one person and another thing to another person. He was usually the one who handled the Intelligence Department's external dealings.
In front of Chu Lingyun, he did not have any airs of a deputy section chief. The three team leaders quickly told him their clues. As long as they told him, He Nian could not refuse.
Chu Lingyun already knew about it, so he had no choice but to get involved, and this time the Operations Department was also involved. He Nian couldn't stop his men from having the opportunity to make meritorious service.
But you still have to greet him.
It was getting dark. Xu Yi silently calculated the time for Xie Ziqi. Feeling it was about time, he drove to Henian's house.
He and Henian were old acquaintances. They had been with the Director of Military Intelligence since before the department was established. Back then, he was the think tank, while Henian was the fighter. Later, when the department was established, he became the head of the Intelligence Section, while Henian became the head of the Operations Section.
The two have a good private relationship.
The relationship is good, but there has never been a lack of competition. This situation is too common in the Guo Party, including Chu Lingyun's subordinates. Loach and Shen Hanwen have a good relationship in private, but the competition has always been fierce.
Even Chu Yuan, who was promoted later, might have thought about competing with the two seniors.
"Lao Xu, you just came, why did you bring anything with you?"
Xu Yi had called before coming, and Henian came out to greet him in person. When he saw Xu Yi carrying something, he said something unhappily.
Xu Yi came to the house in the evening and brought gifts, which immediately raised Henian's vigilance to the highest level.
"When you need help, you shouldn't come empty-handed."
Xu Yi smiled and picked up the gift box in his hand: "It's just a small item, not worth much."
"Come in, come in and talk."
Henian greeted Xu Yi and invited him into the house, but instead of taking him to the study, he sat him down directly in the living room.
"Brother He, we have been friends for many years. I am in trouble this time and need your help."
After sitting down, Xu Yi didn't hesitate any longer and stated his purpose directly. He was ready to let go of his pride and there was no need to be shy.
"Lao Xu, if it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't help you. I really can't do what you asked."
Without thinking, Henian shook his head and refused, but why did he feel familiar with Xu Yi's words?
Xu Yi's eyes widened. When did Henian become so unkind that he was unwilling to even help?
But he immediately realized that Henian had misunderstood him and that he was still thinking of poaching people, and he was not clear about his real intention.
"Brother He, you don't have to be on guard against me. I'm not trying to poach anyone this time. The Director is very dissatisfied with the work of our Intelligence Department today. To be honest, this is my last chance. If I don't do well, I'll have to go to Hangzhou to accompany Han Xianghui."
Xu Yi smiled bitterly and directly stated his purpose.
It's not poaching, it's purely borrowing people, or in other words, cooperation. The Intelligence Department and the Operations Department will jointly solve the case, and when the time comes, all we have to do is give the credit to the Intelligence Department.
He Nian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were not targeting Chu Lingyun, he was still willing to help.
"Old Xu, no problem. I'll have Ling Yun go help you tomorrow. But is it really that serious? The Director trusts you and me the most. How could he be willing to send you away?"
Henian agreed immediately, but at the same time he had some doubts about Xu Yi's words.
Could it be that Xu Yi said this because he wanted Chu Lingyun and was deliberately trying to save the country in a roundabout way?
"It's true. You know my personality well. I've already issued a military order today. If you still can't do it, the only way is to go to Hangzhou."
Xu Yi gave a bitter smile, He Nian was stunned, and his heart tightened slightly.
Even the military order has been signed. Xu Yi would not lie to him about such a thing, but it also shows that Xu Yi was really forced into a desperate situation, otherwise he would not come to him, let alone cooperate with their operations department.
If he had not listened to Secretary Qi's advice and recruited Chu Lingyun, his situation would not be much better than Xu Yi's.
"Don't worry, we have been brothers for many years, and I will definitely help you through this difficult time."
Henian agreed again, but never asked Chu Lingyun to go to the Intelligence Department to help. Cooperation was fine, but lending people out was not.
How could Xu Yi not understand Henian's idea, but Xie Ziqi saw it more clearly. If it weren't for the cooperation, it would be impossible to borrow people.
"Then it's settled. There's no need for tomorrow. Xie Ziqi has already gone to Chu Lingyun and asked him to help analyze the case. All we have to do is cooperate fully from now on."
Xu Yi spoke quickly, and He Nian was stunned. Xu Yi acted without authorization. When he came to him, he also asked someone to find Chu Lingyun. This time, Chu Lingyun's help was necessary.
This means that the Intelligence Department as a whole has surrendered to the Operations Department. Xu Yi would never do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
After persuading Henian, Xu Yi felt a lot more relaxed.
After leaving Henian's house, Xu Yi did not go back to rest, but came to the office and waited for Xie Ziqi and others.
When he went out, he made an appointment with Xie Ziqi to meet again for a meeting in the evening.
An hour later, Xie Ziqi came to the office with three team leaders.
"Section Chief, Chu Lingyun is indeed a great talent."
This was the first thing Xie Ziqi said when he saw Xu Yi. The team leader following behind him also sighed: "Section Chief, no wonder the Operations Department has always been so successful. This time I am convinced, wholeheartedly convinced."
"Explain it to me in detail."
Xu Yi hurriedly asked them to sit down and give a detailed report. Judging from their expressions, they had gained a lot from going to see Chu Lingyun this time.
"Yes, Chief."
Xie Ziqi sat up straight and told the story slowly, "After Chu Lingyun met us, he didn't refuse. I asked Xiangyang to tell us the clues about their group first, and Chu Lingyun responded quickly."
The leader of the intelligence team is He Xiangyang. He has a clue that he has been following for more than three months, but he has not found any more clues.
The clue is not a person, but an object.
The clue came from the Japanese spy who was killed last time, and half a movie poster was found on him.
This poster was from half a year ago. The fact that it was carried by a Japanese spy must have important significance. However, it was only half a piece. At that time, Xu Yi and his team thought that this might be a contact prop for the Japanese spy, so they took it back to the Intelligence Department.
But having things, even if they are really connection items, is of no use to them if they cannot find their other half.
Half of the poster remained in the intelligence department, becoming a clue that could not be further investigated.
This time when Xie Ziqi went to find Chu Lingyun, he brought all the clues with him regardless of whether they were useful or not, so he called the three team leaders to tell Chu Lingyun in detail all the clues they had.
Any one that is useful will do. Having already issued a military order, they have no way out and can only fight to the death.
"Section Chief, we've thought about the person who owns the other half of the poster and have checked for movie theaters that have it, but we've never thought about where it was printed. When Chu Lingyun saw the poster, he didn't ask where it appeared before, but directly asked how many copies were printed."
"Printing house?"
Xu Yi's eyes widened. Since they got the poster, they had been investigating for a long time. They had checked several cinemas in Nanjing. This kind of poster was not small and was mainly posted outside by cinemas for promotion.
They did find the same poster in the cinema, but because the cinema did not lose the poster, they gave up investigating the cinema.
I never thought to check the number of posters printed.
"Yes, it's the printing factory. These posters have the names of cities on them, and they're printed by local governments themselves for promotional purposes. The print run is definitely small. If we start from the source and find out where each poster has gone, we might be able to find its origin."
Xie Ziqi nodded quickly. The movie poster was a fixed-point promotion with the screening date and location written on it.
After using posters to promote a movie, the cinema does not discard the posters. If the movie is shown again in the future, they can take out the posters, modify the screening date on them, and continue to use them.
The main reason is that the current poster printing cost is very high and the price is not low, unlike the advanced printing technology of later generations.
Cinemas will save as much as they can.
This makes it easier for them to investigate the whereabouts of each poster.
"Chu Lingyun also said that most people wouldn't use something this large as a signal for a meeting. The fact that the Japanese spy carried this half of the poster with him must have been very important to him. We can use it as a direction for investigation, but don't dwell on finding the other half. First, find out how the poster fell into the hands of the Japanese spy, and then conduct further investigations."
"Chu Lingyun is right. It's such a simple truth, why didn't you think of it before?"
Xu Yi looked at He Xiangyang, and He Xiangyang immediately lowered his head.
At that time, they only thought it was a tool for connection and didn't think about so much. He didn't think of it, but didn't you, Section Chief, not think of it either?
Unfortunately, he didn't dare say these words.
Including Xu Yi, everyone had fallen into a misconception before. They treated the posters as a contact tool and focused on investigating the cinema and the people the Japanese spy came into contact with on a daily basis, trying to find out where the other half of the posters were, and neglected to investigate the whereabouts of all the posters.
"He Xiangyang." Xu Yi suddenly shouted.
"I'm here." He Xiangyang stood up quickly.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll immediately launch an investigation into the posters. We must find out who got every printed poster. Can we do that?"
Xu Yi ordered. He Xiangyang gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Yes, I will definitely do it."
The posters have been printed for half a year. This task is not easy. After all, so much time has passed and it is difficult to check.
But the current situation is difficult and I cannot shirk my responsibilities. I must do my best to meet the section chief's requirements.
"Very good. If there is any progress in the case, please consult Chu Lingyun or report to me immediately. Don't make decisions on your own."
Xu Yi nodded. He didn't expect that he would get such a result from looking for Chu Lingyun. If he had known earlier, he would have asked him for advice, so that he would not be in such a passive position now.
Although the suggestions given by Chu Lingyun may not necessarily lead to the discovery of Japanese spies, it is an investigative direction after all, which allows them to continue investigating the case.
Unlike before, the posters have become purely decorative.
"What about the other cases?"
Xu Yi looked at Xie Ziqi, who said hurriedly, "Then I asked Rundong to tell us about his case, and Chu Lingyun pointed out the problem directly."
Xu Rundong is the leader of Group 2. As you can tell from his name, he has a close relationship with Xu Yi.
He and Xu Yi have no direct blood relationship, but they are from the same hometown and village. If Xu Yi falls, the future section chief will not be able to use him.
The case in Xu Rundong's hands is the most important one among the three intelligence teams.
There was an immediate suspect in his case, but because of this person's special identity, they did not dare to arrest him rashly. They had been keeping an eye on him for more than two months without any results.
Xu Rundong was targeting a Korean named Li Zaiping, who was a branch of the old royal family of Korea. Now Korea is a colony of Japan, and many Koreans serve Japan.
There is not enough evidence to arrest him. If his identity as an agent cannot be confirmed, the entire military intelligence department will be in a passive position.
So even at the most critical moment, Xu Yi did not dare to arrest anyone.
If he fails to solve the case, he will at most be exiled to Hangzhou. If he fails to solve the case and causes a serious diplomatic incident, he will not even be able to go to Hangzhou and will be thrown into prison.
In 1910, after Korea, renamed the Korean Empire, was annexed by Japan, Koreans established a government in exile in China, which was recognized by China.
Without any evidence, Xu Yi could not afford to be charged with the crime of persecuting the royal family of the old Joseon Dynasty, even if it was a branch.
If this gets out, it will greatly affect China's international image.
"Chu Lingyun carefully reviewed the surveillance records twice and concluded that Li Zaiping was indeed working for the Japanese, but our people had already been exposed."
"Why do you say that?" Xu Yi immediately sat up straight.
Xie Ziqi quickly said, "Chu Lingyun said that two months ago, Li Zaiping would go out once every three days on average. But in the past two months, the number of times he goes out has dropped sharply to only a few times a month. And every time, he just casually walks around outside before returning home. He must have noticed our surveillance."
"Since he discovered us, why didn't he retreat?" Xu Yi asked immediately.
"I asked this question, and Chu Lingyun said that if Li Zaiping was serving the Japanese, he wouldn't have the final say on whether to retreat. Perhaps the Japanese felt he wasn't very useful, so they deliberately let him lure us, or even wanted us to arrest him, so they could use Li Zaiping's identity to smear us."
"That's possible. Li Zaiping's activities have indeed decreased a lot recently."
Xu Yi nodded slowly, carefully recalling Li Zaiping's surveillance records, and admitted that Chu Lingyun's analysis made sense.
Li Zaiping is the case that he attaches the most importance to. He hopes to find a Japanese spy from Li Zaiping. He has read the routine surveillance records.
I never thought that Li Zaiping had discovered them.
In their opinion, their surveillance was very covert. Moreover, if they were really discovered, the other party should have evacuated long ago and should not have stayed to allow them to monitor them.
"Chu Lingyun suggested that we give up surveillance. If Li Zaiping is really the bait deliberately given to us by the Japanese, he will definitely be exposed to us again."
"This is a good suggestion." Xu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
It sounds like a pity to give up surveillance, but they have been monitoring for so long without any results, and it is unlikely that they will gain anything if they continue to monitor.
Li Jae-pyeong is not Japanese. If he were Japanese, he might have stayed dormant for so long for the sake of future work. But how could a North Korean who has no job and no income support him for so long?
So Xu Yi agreed with Chu Lingyun's guess, maybe Li Zaiping was really the Japanese bait.
Fortunately, he did not arrest anyone rashly for the sake of safety.
Once the person is captured, the Japanese will most likely use Lee Jae-pyeong's identity to make a fuss, and then have the Korean royal family publicly accuse them internationally of persecuting members of the Korean royal family.
This possibility is very high, after all, the Korean royal family is now in the hands of the Japanese.
Li Zaiping is not important, but if the Japanese make a fuss about such a thing, not only will they be in a passive position, but the entire government will also be in a passive position.
As for Li Zaiping's own admission that he served the Japanese, it is of no use at all.
Without sufficient evidence, Japan can easily turn the tables and say that they were forced to confess, but because there is no evidence, they have no way to explain themselves internationally.
"Rundong, immediately evacuate everyone from the surveillance point and abandon surveillance of Li Zaiping."
Xu Yi was very decisive. Since he believed in Chu Lingyun's judgment, he made a decision immediately.
"Section Chief, you've been watching me for so long, are you really giving up?"
Xu Rundong was a little unwilling to give up. He had been monitoring for two and a half months. It would be a pity to give up directly. He had been running to the monitoring point many times in the past two months.
"Give up and see how Li Zaiping reacts next."
After Xu Yi said this, everyone understood that he completely believed Chu Lingyun's words and was doing what Chu Lingyun suggested.
Even Xie Ziqi didn't expect that the section chief would trust Chu Lingyun so much.
If Chu Lingyun really went to the Intelligence Department, he would probably become the second-in-command of the department. Even though he is the deputy section chief, his higher position is only in the title, and his status will still be lower than Chu Lingyun.
"Yes, Chief." Xu Rundong agreed hurriedly. He had to give up because the chief had already given the order.
"Chu Lingyun, the clue of Group 3, said that the investigation direction was wrong. It's too late now. There's no need to investigate further."
Xie Ziqi brought three team leaders to find Chu Lingyun. They had all the clues in their hands, and Chu Lingyun helped them analyze them all.
The first two are okay, at least they can be investigated or verified.
The last intelligence department made a complete mistake and missed the opportunity to investigate. Not to mention Japanese spies, they couldn't even find a single traitor. There was no need to waste time.
"In that case, focus on investigating the posters. From now on, the entire department's focus will be on the posters. We must find out where all the posters are and who has the half poster."
Xu Yi made a final summary, this was a last-ditch effort.
I'm afraid Chu Lingyun would never have thought that Xu Yi would actually place all his hopes on him.
The next morning, Chu Lingyun came to the office and soon received a New Year's greeting call.
Henian told him to help the Intelligence Department solve the case and help the Intelligence Department get out of this difficulty.
The death of a rabbit makes the fox mourn. He Nian did not want to see Xu Yi being exiled. What he wanted was that his performance was better than Xu Yi's. They were not enemies and there was no need to defeat each other completely.
Xu Yizhen's departure would not benefit him at all, nor would it benefit the entire operations department. The new intelligence chief would inevitably have to compete with them.
Now that Xu Yi has surrendered, the Operations Department has become the undisputed first department in the department. If He Nian wants to maintain the status quo, he needs to keep Xu Yi in the Intelligence Department.
"Yes, Chief, don't worry, I will do my best."
Chu Lingyun promised Henian that he had his own case to investigate, and now he had to work with the Intelligence Department on a case, so he would be very busy next.
"The prerequisite for helping them solve cases is to protect yourself, take care of your body, and not get too tired."
Henian walked over and said earnestly that Chu Lingyun was his most important subordinate and he couldn't exhaust himself just to help the intelligence department.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."
Chu Lingyun nodded and left Henian's office.
Yesterday, the Intelligence Department only asked questions, and Chu Lingyun did not ask for anything after helping them analyze the situation. But now it is different. He Nian has already issued an order, and the Intelligence Department's Case Operations Department will assist in investigating the case together.
This means that if he wants to intervene in the case, he must have a deeper understanding.
"Team Leader Chu, why are you here?"
Chu Lingyun came to He Xiangyang's office in the Intelligence Department. When he saw Chu Lingyun, He Xiangyang did not dare to be careless and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
At the meeting last night, he understood the section chief's attitude towards Chu Lingyun. Even though Chu Lingyun is not a member of the Intelligence Department now, he can still have a great influence on Xu Yi.
Especially at this time, he must not offend Chu Lingyun, otherwise their section chief will not forgive him.
"Team Leader He, our section chief has instructed that the cases of our two sections should be investigated together. I will fully assist your Intelligence Section and strive to solve the case as soon as possible."
Chu Lingyun explained his purpose, and He Xiangyang pulled him to sit on the sofa, thanking him. "Thank you for your help, Team Leader Chu. I've also received orders from the section chief. The case files are ready and I'll give them to you now."
There are 8,000 words updated today, and the monthly votes have not yet reached 2,800 votes, but whether or not, there will be more updates tomorrow with monthly votes.
