Chapter 67 Finding out the reasons
There was nothing interesting to read in Old Li's confession. Li Zheng had cared about him before and treated him very well. Old Li had no relatives or friends and had never been cared for like this, so it was easy for him to regard Li Zheng as his confidant.
He remembered everything Li Zheng told him.
Li Zheng was actually helping the Japanese, but he didn't know that the other party was Japanese. He didn't even know what the other party looked like. According to his confession, a man who covered himself tightly came to him three years ago and asked him if he was willing to make money.
At that time, their family was not having a good time, so they were naturally willing to make money.
Afterwards, the man instructed him to find a way to read all the letters every day and gave him three addresses. Once a letter with these three addresses appeared, he should immediately go to Taiping Lane and draw a secret mark in front of the same house number.
This secret sign is very simple, it is just a cherry blossom.
Li Zheng didn't know that it was cherry blossoms, but Chu Lingyun understood that this secret mark was to ensure that no children would draw on the wall and cause misleading.
The three addresses are No. 109 Huayuan Road, No. 68 Changjiang Road and No. 77 Jiang'an Street.
As long as Li Zheng strictly does this, the other party will give him fifteen yuan every month, which was previously in dollars and now in legal tender.
And every time he responded in time, he would be given an extra fifty dollars. In order to make this money, Li Zheng deliberately made friends with Old Li, gave him some small favors, and successfully bribed him.
During the three years, only letters from No. 68 Changjiang Road and No. 109 Huayuan Road appeared, and he had never seen the letter from Jiang'an Street.
In fact, Li Zheng really wanted to see these letters appear. Once they appeared, it meant he could earn an extra fifty yuan.
Given his family situation, fifty dollars is very important to him.
This is also the reason why Li Zheng’s income is not enough but he is not short of money. The Japanese give him a monthly subsidy of 15 yuan, which provides him with sufficient security for his life.
The letter from Changjiang Road appeared a year ago. It was so long ago that there was no way to investigate. As for the letter from Huayuan Road, it was a blank letter they sent to lure out Dujuan this time.
The plan was successful and Dujuan did come out. Unfortunately, Abe Hanako had an accident, which made Dujuan aware of it, and eventually both of them died.
Chu Lingyun didn't know what mistake Abe Hanako had made that aroused Du Juan's suspicion.
But he believed that Abe Hanako did not tip off Dujuan, otherwise Dujuan would not have shot Abe Hanako, but would have taken her away with her.
They didn't even have to escape from the French Concession. As long as they fled to the police station, Chu Lingyun would not be able to attack them.
"Hanwen, send two people to the post office and assign them to the sorting team to take over the full responsibility of sorting the mail. If you find any mail addressed to No. 77 Jiang'an Street or No. 68 Changjiang Road, report immediately."
Chu Lingyun instructed Shen Hanwen that Niu Qiu was still out gathering information and had not returned yet, while Zhong Hui was searching for Dujuan's nest. At this time, only Shen Hanwen was by the three team leaders' side.
"yes."
Shen Hanwen took the order and ran out to take over the sorting team. It was Chu Lingyun's sudden idea.
Through Li Zheng's confession, it can be judged that Du Juan has three intelligence agents under his command. Now that Abe Hanako is dead, there are two left.
They usually communicate through dead mail and do not meet in person except in emergencies.
Now that Dujuan is dead, no one will pick up the mail from the dead mailboxes of the other two intelligence agents. If no one picks up the mail for a long time, the intelligence agents may become suspicious and may use emergency contact information to request a meeting.
But it's only a possibility.
And even if the other party sent such a letter, Chu Lingyun had no idea when and where they would meet.
Abe Hanako was at the De Ming Hotel, but the other two intelligence officers might not be there, and the time might not be the same.
It can be said that the possibility of achieving results by doing this is extremely low, but no matter how low it is, it is still a direction, and Chu Lingyun will not miss any clues now.
It was not until the evening that Loach returned to the station.
"Team Leader, I've checked. Xia Boyuan lives a very regular life. He has a very good reputation in school. He's dedicated to his students and takes good care of his colleagues. He's a well-paid teacher, and he lives alone. He never refuses other teachers when they come to him with problems."
"Xia Boyuan doesn't have many hobbies. Besides working, he drinks tea. He often goes to Xinyuan Teahouse for tea and occasionally strolls around the park. He doesn't go to brothels or casinos, and he doesn't have any other bad habits."
The results of Loach's investigation were very detailed. As the leader of the Cuckoo Team, Xia Boyuan had to go to the locations of these dead mailboxes in order to receive intelligence from his intelligence officers.
The places he often goes to are most likely the addresses of the dead mailboxes.
There is a dead mailbox for Abe Hanako in the park, another one at Xinyuan Teahouse, and Chu Lingyun hasn't figured out where the third one is yet.
"Have you checked the people at Xinyuan Teahouse?" Chu Lingyun thought for a moment and then asked.
"I checked. The owner of Xinyuan Teahouse is a local. He has a family and is very normal. There's nothing unusual about the employees either."
Loach nodded immediately. This was a very good advantage of Loach. It asked him to do the investigation. As long as he thought there was something that might be useful, he would check it out first, regardless of whether it could be used or not.
"It's too late today. Let's go to Xinyuan Teahouse tomorrow."
Chu Lingyun looked at the time. They had been busy since yesterday and many people hadn't slept a wink. Even the strongest man couldn't keep going on forever. Everyone had to be given enough rest time.
Others could rest, but he couldn't. Wang Yuemin hadn't left, obviously waiting for his report.
After sorting out the information, Chu Lingyun hurried to Wang Yuemin's office and knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
Wang Yuemin's voice came from inside. Chu Lingyun opened the door and walked in quickly.
"Stationmaster, this was my mistake. Du Juan discovered something was wrong and killed Abe Hanako on the spot. He also committed suicide. Ling Yun was incompetent. Please punish him."
Chu Lingyun stood in front of Wang Yuemin's desk and admitted his mistake.
He did make a mistake this time, and he can't blame anyone.
"Come, sit down and talk."
Wang Yuemin didn't blame him. He pulled Chu Lingyun to sit on the sofa nearby. Then he sighed and said slowly, "No one is perfect. I've made mistakes too. Making mistakes isn't scary. The important thing is to correct them and avoid making the same mistakes in the future. Tell me the details of what happened today. I still don't understand what happened."
"Yes, Station Master."
Chu Lingyun organized his thoughts and reported to Wang Yuemin in detail the series of actions since the letter was delivered.
Everything went smoothly before, even when Abe Hanako and Dujuan met, nothing happened at first. Later, for some reason, Dujuan suddenly checked on Abe Hanako, which exposed her.
After listening to Chu Lingyun's words, Wang Yuemin nodded and said, "You've done a great job. This time it's Abe Hanako's fault. She failed to conceal herself well, allowing the cunning Japanese spy to see through her flaws."
