Spy Shadow

Chapter 7 Determining Goals

Chu Lingyun drove alone and soon arrived at Yuan Yuan Trading Company.

This is a small business, and it is about to close. There is not a single customer inside, and there is only an old shopkeeper sitting boredly at the counter.

The public phone is placed on the edge of the counter, and you can make calls as soon as you enter the door.

After Chu Lingyun came in, he threw out two dollars, took out his pistol from under his clothes, and pointed it at the old shopkeeper.

The pistol was hidden by clothes, and only the old shopkeeper could see it. People outside thought they were having a normal conversation.

I'm asking you something. If you answer honestly, the money is yours. If you don't, you'll get a bullet.

Chu Lingyun said coldly. In fact, the gun's safety was not turned on at all. It was just a bluff.

The old shopkeeper didn't understand this. He trembled with fright, stood up straight immediately, and said in a trembling voice: You ask, I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know.

At ten ten in the morning, someone called you. Do you have any impression?

Yes, I have an impression. The old shopkeeper nodded hurriedly.

As long as you have an impression, Chu Lingyun immediately asked: What does the person who called me this morning look like? Do you still remember what he said?

The old shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: Remember, remember, that man wore a hat and had a scar at the corner of his eye. He made two phone calls. The first one he said was: Two of the chickens from the third uncle's house were taken away by an eagle. Ask What should I do? The second call was in foreign language and I couldn’t understand it.”

What color hat and what color style of clothes are you wearing? Chu Lingyun asked immediately.

The black hat looks like a yellow gown. The old shopkeeper said again.

Chu Lingyun asked again: How come you remember what he said so clearly?

Chu Lingyun is not surprised that the shopkeeper can remember people's faces. These business people have very bad eyes, so there is no problem in remembering people.

But I didn't expect him to remember the content of the phone call so clearly, which is questionable.

The shopkeeper gave a wry smile: My store is not big, and there are not many people usually. When people call, I will often eavesdrop on what they say to pass the boring time.

Bored enough to eavesdrop on your guests’ phone calls? This shopkeeper was a bit strange, but it dispelled Chu Lingyun's doubts.

Don't tell anyone about today.

Chu Lingyun gave instructions to the old shopkeeper and hurried back without taking the money on the counter.

The number was matched, and the caller turned out to be the man in the felt hat. Chu Lingyun had felt that the man in the felt hat was weird before, but this time he finally confirmed that he was the one who was working with Qian Cang Ono.

Others at the scene must have known that something happened to Asakou Ono.

After that, he came to this place which was relatively far away from the scene and made two phone calls. The first call was easy to guess. It was from Asakou Ono and his friends after something happened and he asked what to do.

As for the second call, it was to Henry. Henry was French, so it was not surprising that he spoke in foreign languages.

In the car, he looked at the time and saw that it was already half past five. After thinking about it, he went to the telephone office in person to find out where the man in the felt hat had made his first call.

The person who answered the phone was also key. It was most likely that he would guide the man in the felt hat on his next move, including calling Henry to report it.

The number found was a private phone number. After writing down the installation address, Chu Lingyun left the telephone office.

The members of the third team of Romance of the West Chamber all arrived and sat down at the table in the largest box, chatting and waiting for Chu Lingyun to come back.

Chu Lingyun has been with their third team for a long time, and this is the first time he invites all the team members to drink.

Captain, you are here.

As soon as Chu Lingyun came in, the excited Loach was the first to greet him and pulled him to sit in the main seat. This was the seat specially reserved for Chu Lingyun.

Have you ordered? Chu Lingyun sat down and asked with a smile.

Not yet, I'm waiting for you to come, captain. Loach immediately replied.

Why don't you order food? It's your fault. Go and order food for Loach and ask them to bring all the best hard dishes and a few bottles of fine wine.

Chu Lingyun smiled and cursed at Ni Loach, who rushed to order food. He had been running outside this afternoon and was already hungry. He wished that the food would be served early.

Hanwen, drink less for a while and go out with me in the evening.

Chu Lingyun gave Shen Hanwen another instruction. Shen Hanwen was a scout and had strong tracking ability.

Shen Hanwen responded. In the Military Intelligence Office, it does not mean that nothing will happen after get off work. It is common to work overtime. When there is a mission, it is normal to stay up all night.

Chu Lingyun was still thinking about the case. The first call made by the man in the felt hat was very crucial. He was going to investigate at night to see who the man in the felt hat called first.

After a long meal, Chu Lingyun spent almost ten yuan on the meal.

In this era, ten yuan is not a small amount. In Hankou, an ordinary family of four can live on three or four yuan a month. If you live in rural areas and live more tightly, you can live on one yuan a month.

The money is spent, and the results are obvious.

The members of the third team were no longer so resistant to him, and Chu Lingyun clearly felt that the distance between him and them had become closer.

After dinner, Chu Lingyun took Shen Hanwen and Ni Loach to Jinsan Alley.

It’s right that Jinsan Lane has the word “gold” in it. This is a gathering point in the wealthy area, where many wealthy businessmen live. There are many people who install telephones here, basically every house has one.

When I came to the address I checked at the telephone office, there were no lights in the yard.

After investigating the area, Chu Lingyun led the team away.

Han Wen, remember where you were. Tomorrow before dawn you take people over there and guard the front and back doors. Bring two cameras to take pictures of everyone who goes in and out of there, and find out their identities. The most important thing is the identity of the owner.”

On the way back, Chu Lingyun assigned Shen Hanwen a new task.

The man-marking intelligence team is good at it, but their action team is not bad either, especially Shen Hanwen. When it comes to man-marking, he is definitely not inferior to those in the intelligence team.

Shen Hanwen immediately responded: Yes, captain, but the camera cannot be picked up until the general affairs person goes to work, and it may take a party.

We can't wait, I'll call the general affairs department, and we'll go get it later.

Chu Lingyun shook his head. This newly discovered place was very important. Chu Lingyun had a hunch that there was definitely a big fish here. Anyone who had contact with this big fish should not miss it.

Although the leader of the general affairs team is not Wang Yuemin, Wang Yuemin now has a very high status in Wuhan Station, and the people in the general affairs team dare not hinder them.

With the captain coordinating with you, it will be no problem.

Shen Hanwen grinned. He was not a loach. He was a straightforward soldier. He would only be happy when given a task and would never refuse.

Back at the Military Intelligence Office, Chu Lingyun immediately contacted the General Affairs Department. Sure enough, the General Affairs Department did not refuse Chu Lingyun's request. They were equipped with two cameras and ten rolls of film overnight. If the film was not enough, they would ask them to get it.
