Chapter 82 Full Staff Screening
The previously bustling action team office building suddenly became deserted.
Soon the whole station knew that the action group was going to do a big operation. All members were mobilized and no one was left in the station. Finally, Wang Yuemin was alarmed and wanted to find Chu Lingyun to ask, but he couldn't find anyone.
Chu Lingyun personally led the team to the Southwest Branch.
Wang Sheng from the Southwest Branch was an old acquaintance of his. When he knew Chu Lingyun was coming, he immediately ran back to the bureau and became the liaison between Chu Lingyun and the Southwest Branch.
The entire action team is moving forward this time, and Chu Lingyun's Third Squadron cannot be slower than them.
According to Chu Lingyun's requirements, the Third Squadron must complete these tasks ahead of schedule.
"Captain Chu, with these conditions, it's actually very easy to find people. Don't worry, I'll find all the people who meet the requirements for you in less than three days, or at most two days."
After hearing Chu Lingyun's request, Wang Sheng immediately patted his chest and promised to do it.
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Once this mission is completed, you will definitely get a reward." Chu Lingyun was very satisfied with Wang Sheng's answer.
Wang Sheng grinned, without any further ado, and immediately called on others to take action together.
It's just a screening. It might be difficult for others, but it's easy for these patrolmen.
At most, you will have to work overtime and be a little tired.
But Wang Sheng believed that everyone in the Southwest Branch was willing to work overtime and work for Commander Chu.
Commander Chu was a generous and straightforward person. Last time, he just helped find a woman and only dispatched a dozen patrolmen. In the end, Chu Lingyun actually gave them a bonus of one thousand French francs.
He himself received two hundred.
After two missions, he made a net profit of four hundred, which was almost his income for two years. What else could Wang Sheng be dissatisfied with?
The other patrolmen didn't earn as much as him, but each of them still got sixty or seventy yuan. Everyone was very happy to get so much extra money at once.
Those patrolmen who failed to get the task could only secretly envy them.
This time Chu Lingyun asked them to do something again. Wang Sheng believed that as long as he gave the word, people from the entire police station would flock to help Chu Lingyun with the screening, and there would be no need for their military intelligence department to do anything.
Chu Lingyun was in charge of the Southwest Branch, which made the director frightened. He served carefully at the side, fearing that there would be any mistakes.
The Southwest Branch acted indeed quickly. Knowing that they were helping Commander Chu, everyone was extremely enthusiastic.
In less than two days, all the eligible people in their area were screened out.
There are a total of twenty-seven people on the list. The area under the jurisdiction of the entire Southwest Branch actually has a large population, but there are not many people who really meet the four conditions. The northern accent screens out most of the people.
After getting the list, Chu Lingyun immediately ordered people to start a second round of screening.
This time the screening is simpler. We just investigate their hometowns and cross out any that can be found after verification.
Japanese spies who were lurking must have disguised their identities; their identities could not have been real.
On the third day, the other two squadrons completed their tasks almost at the same time, and finally finished screening everything within the time required by Chu Lingyun.
"Captain Yao, Captain Huang, please continue your efforts and screen the other two areas. I will have someone verify the initial list."
It is definitely not enough to screen only three out of the five areas in Hankou. All the people in Hankou must be screened to ensure that no one slips through the net.
"Yes, don't worry, Team Leader. We will get the results in three days at most."
The two squadron leaders hurriedly took the order. Having had previous screening, they had some experience and there was no problem in continuing the screening.
The first squadron screened out the most people, thirty-one people, while the second squadron screened out fewer people, only nineteen people. Together with the twenty-seven people from Chu Lingyun's third squadron, there were a total of seventy-seven people.
The second round of screening is actually more difficult because most of their hometowns are in the north, which is far away.
Fortunately, there are not many people, and if we send people out to investigate secretly, we can easily verify whether their situation is true or false.
The action team was busy, and almost all the team members went out early and came back late, which further stimulated Wang Jialiang.
Wang Jialiang has been leading the entire intelligence team outside these days, desperately searching for clues.
Wang Yuemin already knew what Chu Lingyun was doing. He had no objection but only support. He was a little surprised that Chu Lingyun could think of such a method to actively search for Japanese spies.
Although this method is stupid, it has to be said that it is indeed a good idea.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. If you don't find anything, you can use it as experience. If you catch any fish, you will make a huge profit. This is a business that is sure to make money.
Three days later, the screening lists for the last two areas also reached Chu Lingyun's hands. There were a total of twenty-three people. This large-scale screening conducted in Hankou resulted in exactly one hundred people.
The team members sent out for the second round of screening were divided into groups of two, who went to their hometowns for secret investigations. As long as there were no problems themselves, there would be no problem.
The action team did not have enough people to investigate one hundred people, so another one hundred people were transferred from five police stations, with a two-person team consisting of one police officer and one team member. In this way, Chu Lingyun could still keep sixty people for emergency response.
After seven days, the team members who went out to verify returned one after another, and after fifteen days they all returned to the station.
Some people encountered danger on the way of this mission, but fortunately, they were lucky and all of them returned safely.
It is not easy to travel far away during times of war and chaos.
Wang Yuemin was unusually generous this time. He gave each team member who went out to perform a mission a reward of 20 yuan when they returned. For 100 team members, the total expenditure was 2,000 yuan.
Wang Yuemin was not so generous to the police and did not give them any hard work pay.
In the end, it was Chu Lingyun who filled the hole. He paid 15 yuan out of his own pocket as a reward for each policeman. 15 yuan was not a lot, but it made the policemen who had gone out for the hard work very happy.
Moreover, the amount Chu Lingyun gave did not exceed the reward Wang Yuemin gave him, which saved Wang Yuemin's face.
The verification result surprised Chu Lingyun a little.
More than half of the people passed the verification, but there were still as many as twenty-four who failed.
This means that all 24 people lied and did not register their real information.
"Team Leader, these twenty-four people can't all be Japanese spies, right? Then wouldn't we be sent away?"
Loach accompanied Chu Lingyun to check the final results and said excitedly, "Catching twenty-four Japanese spies at one time, who can compare with them in this achievement?"
This time, their action team is destined to make a fortune.
"How is that possible? How could there be so many Japanese spies in Hankou?"
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Loach had a good idea. Catching twenty-four Japanese spies at once was totally impossible.
There were quite a few Japanese spies, but not that many. Chu Lingyun now understood why there were so many people with false information.
Among these twenty-four people, there must be some who have committed crimes and are wanted. They dare not provide real information and can only register false information.
But the possibility that there are Japanese spies among them is definitely not small. If there are really Japanese spies still lurking in Hankou, Chu Lingyun believes that this net will definitely catch them.
He doesn't ask for much, as long as he can get one, this high-profile action will be worth it.
