Chapter 110 Don't Believe in Coincidences
The Director had never objected to the Operations Department finding intelligence clues on its own, but the Operations Department did have inherent deficiencies in intelligence gathering.
Henian has always wanted to change this situation and deployed some people outside, but unfortunately he started too late and the support was not strong enough, so he basically achieved nothing.
"Who at the police station did you ask to investigate? Is that person reliable?"
He Nian calmed down and asked immediately. This Japanese spy was very important. He had read all the information about Chu Lingyun. As soon as Chu Lingyun mentioned the substitute, he knew who it was.
An agent who can hire others to cover for other Japanese spies must have a high status.
"Do you remember when I first arrived, I asked you to help me transfer someone from the Wuhan Police Department? It was him. He's now the Deputy Chief of Police at the Police Headquarters. He's absolutely reliable."
Henian felt relieved when he heard Chu Lingyun say that he was transferred from Wuhan Station.
Someone who had been following Chu Lingyun in Wuhan must be very trustworthy, but He Nian soon frowned again: "He just arrived and is only a deputy police chief. Can he do a good job?"
It’s not that Henian doesn’t trust Wang Sheng, but the matter is of great importance and must be handled with caution.
The Operations Department hasn't had good results recently. If they can catch a Japanese spy this time, without relying on the Intelligence Department, they will have a good chance to show off in front of the Director.
"Wang Shengren is very smart. If he's just asking around, it won't be a big deal."
Chu Lingyun spoke for Wang Sheng, saying that Wang Sheng was capable and had helped with work in Wuhan several times, with very good results.
With his assistance, Chu Lingyun captured several Japanese spies.
"Okay, tell him that as long as he finds the person, I will help him get credit and make him the sheriff."
Henian doesn't care about Wang Sheng, but he is generous in rewarding those who can help him achieve merit.
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, "If he can be promoted, he will be more motivated. There is another thing. I found a suspicious point in the files of the previous case. I suspect that there is an enemy spy among us."
Henian's eyes widened again. He had already received a bomb just now, but he didn't expect Chu Lingyun to throw another cannonball at him.
Still a heavy bomb.
What the intelligence department fears most is a traitor. Once there is a traitor, their actions will be exposed to the enemy and nothing they do will be successful.
"Tell me in detail." Henian sat down and asked anxiously.
"Yes, Chief..."
Chu Lingyun slowly expressed his doubts after reading the file. Henian listened very carefully and nodded from time to time.
After Chu Lingyun finished speaking, he sighed, "Lingyun, you're so meticulous. No wonder you were able to catch Japanese spies so many times in Wuhan. Regarding the traitor you mentioned, Section Chief Xu and I had our suspicions too, but we only conducted a secret internal investigation and dropped the matter when we found nothing."
"But we didn't consider investigating other departments. We believed the operation was completely confidential and outsiders couldn't possibly know. But after listening to your analysis, I realized that we actually still have loopholes."
The previous missions had failed repeatedly, and both Henian, Xu Yi, and even Chu Zuo had considered the possibility of a traitor.
However, neither of them was willing to believe that the traitor was among them, so they asked the director to conduct a self-examination, and the final result of the self-examination was definitely that there was no traitor.
After that, they never thought about the traitor again until Chu Lingyun reminded them today.
"Who do you think is more likely to be the traitor between these two people in the Equipment Department?"
Henian asked Chu Lingyun again. Secretary Qi had said that Chu Lingyun could sort out clues that were not clues and find the Japanese spy. Now it seems that what Secretary Qi said was absolutely correct.
It was just the time to collect equipment, something that no one cared about, but Chu Lingyun was able to find something strange in it. His keenness was unmatched.
It was really a good idea to ask Chu Lingyun to come over. He is a treasure.
If the traitor is really found, the achievement will be no less than arresting a Japanese spy, or even greater. After all, the traitor is more harmful.
Chu Lingyun shook his head: "I don't know much about these two people, and I haven't started the investigation yet. I can't say who is more suspicious at the moment. It's also possible that neither of them is the suspect, and I guessed wrong."
He didn't dare to say anything for sure. After all, it was just a suspicion and he didn't have any evidence at all.
"No matter what the result is, we must investigate thoroughly. I'll give you the authority to conduct any investigation into these two people. If you need my assistance, just let me know."
He Nian is not as cautious as Chu Lingyun. As long as he has a suspicion that someone is a traitor, he must investigate it thoroughly.
After thinking for a moment, He Nian suddenly said, "No, everyone in the Equipment Department and the General Affairs Department must be investigated. We must investigate these two departments first, and then investigate other departments. We must not have any enemy spies within our ranks."
"Yes, Chief, I will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. I will not let any bad guy go, but I will not wrongly accuse any good person either."
Chu Lingyun was stunned. He only wanted to investigate two people, but he didn't expect He Nian to ask him to investigate two departments.
The Equipment Department is okay, it's a small department, but the General Affairs Department is a big department, and the section chief is at the same level as Henian.
"You don't have to feel any pressure or burden. I will report this matter confidentially to the Director, and I believe the Director will fully support you."
He Nian saw Chu Lingyun's worry and comforted him, saying that with the director's personality, he would never allow a traitor to exist in the department. Compared with Japanese spies, the task of investigating the traitor was more important.
"Thank you, Chief. I'll be out first. I'll conduct a thorough investigation next."
Chu Lingyun stood up and said goodbye. With Henian's support, the investigation of the traitor would be much easier. If there really was a traitor, Chu Lingyun was confident that he could find him out.
"Go, keep this a secret and don't tell anyone."
Henian gave another reminder, and as soon as Chu Lingyun left, he went to the director's office and relayed Chu Lingyun's report in detail to the director.
"Did Chu Lingyun find out all this?"
After listening to this, the Director asked curiously. He Nian nodded and said, "That's right. He just came back the day before yesterday. I asked him to go to Hangzhou to select people and let him go home. I didn't expect that he would discover so many things in such a short time."
I was very emotional when I spoke during the New Year's greetings. No wonder Wuhan has always been able to achieve great things.
With such a powerful person around, how could he not make achievements?
If Chu Lingyun could really find the traitor and catch the Japanese spy, their entire operations department would benefit from Chu Lingyun.
He himself is the biggest beneficiary. He no longer has to worry about Virgo replacing him, and his position in the future will only be more stable.
"He is indeed a great talent. Wang Yuemin has good taste."
The director nodded slowly, then said in a serious tone, "This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Let Chu Lingyun investigate secretly and make sure to find the real traitor. If he fails, all members of the Equipment Department will be executed. I don't believe in coincidences."
"Yes, Director, don't worry. I will definitely urge Chu Lingyun to find the traitor as soon as possible."
He Nian's heart tightened, realizing that the director believed Chu Lingyun's inference and thought that there must be a traitor in the Equipment Department.
If no evidence is found, all the people will be disposed of to prevent future troubles.
Their Virgo has never been soft-hearted and will show no mercy when it comes to taking action.
I didn’t type out the name just now. Thanks to Yi Xin Qiuyue for the reward of 500 Qidian coins, and thanks to Feng Yun Danmo for the reward of 500 Qidian coins.
