Spy Shadow

Chapter 8 Find the trace

Shen Hanwen and Ni Loach both went back to rest, but Chu Lingyun did not leave.

He lived in a single dormitory, and it would be the same whether he went back or not. Sitting at the empty desk, Chu Lingyun reorganized what happened today.

It didn't last long, only one day, but a lot of things happened.

There was no problem with the arrest in the morning. The man in the felt hat was at the scene, more like monitoring their connection. When Asana Ono was caught, he quickly called and informed the Japanese of all this.

After that, he called Henry again. The Frenchman was very angry when he found out. The French Concession Patrol Room quickly intervened and asked for Asana Ono.

After learning that the call was made by the man in the felt hat, Chu Lingyun understood that this was their rescue method.

If the patrol house in the French Concession could find people, it would be much easier for the Japanese to rescue them from the French than it would be for the Military Intelligence Service.

So far, the Japanese strategy was very successful, but they would never have thought that the man in the felt hat had been exposed and that Chu Lingyun had learned all of this.

In addition to these three people who showed up, there is also a key figure, Yang Jian.

Yang Jian is the owner of the house that Chu Lingyun visited just now. This is the name registered at the telephone office. It is very likely that it is a pseudonym.

This is a more important person. It can be seen from the content of the phone call made by the man in the felt hat that he is reporting to Yang Jian and following the next instructions. This Yang Jian has a higher status than the man in the felt hat.

In addition to Asaou Ono and Endo Yuki on the bright side, there are also the felt hat man and Yang Jian hiding in the dark. If they are all caught, this will definitely be a huge achievement.

Since the establishment of the entire Military Intelligence Department, it has never caught so many spies at one time.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Loach received a new mission.

He wanted to mobilize people he knew to find a man with scars around his eyes, about forty years old and about 1.7 meters tall. Ni Loach was a local and knew many people from all three religions. Chu Lingyun offered a high reward of two hundred yuan for this.

But there is one thing, it needs to be kept secret. You must not go to find people in a big way, you can only investigate secretly.

The next morning, after arranging the work, Chu Lingyun came to Jinsan Alley.

Captain, you are here.

Shen Hanwen had already rented the attic of a house opposite, and also set up a dedicated phone line here, leading five team members to take turns monitoring Yang Jian's house.

There are three people at the front door and two people at the back door. There is a camera at the front and back.

How is it going?

Chu Lingyun stood in the attic and could clearly see the situation of Yang Jian's residence opposite through the window.

Shen Hanwen replied: I learned about it through my neighbor. Yang Jian is in his thirties and is a painter. He rarely goes out. There is only an old woman who cooks to take care of him. She went out to buy groceries in the morning, but she didn't go out after that. Pass the door.

Continue to monitor and call me immediately if anything happens.

Chu Lingyun followed for a while and saw that there was nothing unusual on the other side. After giving instructions, he returned to the Military Intelligence Office.

In intelligence work, you must be patient. Wang Yuemin spent a month monitoring Qian Cang Xiaoye. Chu Lingyun does not lack this patience. He will keep an eye on Yang Jian.

In the afternoon, Chu Lingyun did not go out in the team. Shortly after arriving at work, the phone on the desk rang.

I'm Chu Lingyun, who are you?

Boss Chu, I am Liu Qiang. The person you asked us to find just repaired the shoes in Datou. Datou asked someone to tell me, and I am here in Datou now.

Liu Qiang, the young man who repairs shoes at Changtang intersection?

Chu Lingyun did tell him yesterday that he should tell all the shoe shiners in the city that anyone who encounters a scar around the corner of his eye can call him, and he will be given a reward of twenty yuan if he finds the person.

At that time, Chu Lingyun was not sure that the man in the felt hat was related to the Japanese, so he offered a small reward. It was not until late in the evening that he found out that the man in the felt hat was the one who tipped off the news.

Where are you now? Chu Lingyun stood up suddenly.

I'm at Guanjia Doupi on Qiuhai Old Street, and the big-toe shoes are sold here.

Wait for me there and don't run around.

Chu Lingyun hung up the phone and called the three team members to go out with him. The man in the felt hat appeared, and Chu Lingyun's casual arrangement yesterday had a miraculous effect.

Qiuhai Street is located in the west of the city. It is a slum area with mostly low yurts and narrow streets.

Because the rent here is cheap and there are many outsiders living here, the population here is not large.

After Chu Lingyun arrived, he quickly saw the shoe stall Liu Qiang mentioned. In a conspicuous position, Liu Qiang was also there, wearing a big apron, talking to a big-headed man also wearing an apron.

Boss Chu. Liu Qiang stood up immediately when he saw Chu Lingyun.

follow me.

There were many people near the shoe stall. Chu Lingyun looked around, took Liu Qiang back to the car, and closed the curtains in the car.

Boss Chu, after you gave your order yesterday, I spread the news to everyone in the evening. This afternoon, Boss sent me a message saying that a man who looked very much like the person I mentioned came to his place to repair shoes. I ran away immediately. Come over here, confirm that it’s the person from yesterday, and then call you.”

After getting in the car, Liu Qiang seemed a little nervous and explained immediately.

Hearing what he said, Chu Lingyun's heart tightened: How did you confirm his identity?

Liu Qiang seemed to understand Chu Lingyun's worries and said: Don't worry, he won't be suspicious. I have customers here too, and I happened to be here to deliver shoes to an old customer. When I arrived, Da Tou had already repaired his shoes for him. I followed him along the way and glanced at him secretly. It was indeed the man who repaired shoes at my place the day before yesterday.

Are you sure he didn't find you? Chu Lingyun asked again.

No, absolutely not. I often come here to give away shoes, and many neighbors know me.

Liu Qiang shook his head, which made Chu Lingyun feel relieved. Among the four spies that Chu Lingyun had found so far, the man in the felt hat was the only one who was offline. If he could be found, the case would become much clearer.

Okay, after you find the person, you and Datou will each be rewarded with twenty yuan.

Chu Lingyun said with a smile, Chu Lingyun is not a stingy person, Liu Qiang helped him find the person, and he can still get this amount of reward.

Twenty each.

Liu Qiang's eyes widened. Yesterday, he was still talking about twenty, and it would be given to whoever found it. He didn't expect that he would also be rewarded.

Why, you don't want it? Chu Lingyun smiled.

Yes, yes, thank you boss, thank you boss.

Liu Qiang smiled from ear to ear, bowed and thanked him again.

He shines shoes and repairs them, and his income is only about ten yuan a month, or more than ten yuan at the best, which is already considered a high income among many shoe stalls.

Chu Lingyun directly gave him a reward of twenty yuan, which was equivalent to one month's net income.

This is an unexpected windfall. If you keep it until the Chinese New Year, you will definitely have a prosperous New Year, and now you can also pull some cloth for your wife and children and help them make two new clothes.

In addition, you can buy some meat and improve the food so that your wife and children can enjoy themselves.

Liu Qiang took Chu Lingyun to a small alley.

He just came to confirm whether the person Da Tou mentioned was the one Chu Lingyun was looking for. After all, he was the only one who had seen the man in the felt hat.

Even Chu Lingyun didn't see it clearly at first and only noticed the scar in the corner of his eye.
