Chapter 13 Two-pronged approach
But one thing is that everyone will only rush to grab it when there is an opportunity to make a contribution.
And no matter how they fight for it, the leader's contribution is indispensable. Wang Yuemin finally experienced the feeling of being a Virgo, which was both happy and troublesome.
But I have to say, it feels great.
After Watanabe Ichiro confessed, Wang Yuemin felt so relieved. It was true that Chu Lingyun was primarily responsible for the crime, but it was he who handed the case over to Chu Lingyun, and this was a fact that no one could erase.
After the case was closed, he still had made considerable contributions.
The most important thing right now is to strike while the iron is hot and strive to gain greater gains. Chu Lingyun did not disappoint his expectations. He did a really good job this time. He caught one and kept an eye on another.
If Asano Ono and Endo Yuki were recaptured, plus the one Chu Lingyun was targeting, there would be four Japanese spies in total.
He wanted to show off in front of the director by capturing four Japanese spies at once.
If he could follow the clues and capture more Japanese spies, or even radio stations and code books, then the credit would be enormous. I'm afraid the director would call him back to headquarters and reward him face to face.
The word "deputy" in front of his title of stationmaster can be removed smoothly, and his rank of lieutenant colonel may even be promoted to the next level.
This is also the reason why he did not agree to let Wang Jialiang join the case. In addition to the fact that Chu Lingyun was his confidant, it was also because he attached great importance to this case. Since Chu Lingyun did such a great job and there was such a big turning point in just one day, he let Chu Lingyun continue to investigate to avoid unnecessary complications.
The reason why he agreed to Wang Jialiang's request and let the intelligence team intervene was also because the case was too important.
With the assistance of the intelligence team, not only will Chu Lingyun have more helpers, but the case will also be more secure.
When it comes to investigating clues and tracking down spies, in Wang Yuemin's mind, the action team is indeed not as good as the intelligence team. After all, the people in the intelligence team are elites who have received professional training.
"Lingyun, come with me."
After Watanabe Ichiro confessed, there was nothing to worry about in the interrogation room. Zhong Hui had already taken people to investigate the address of the dead mailbox he provided, and would send people to keep an eye on that place for a long time.
The dead mailbox is a clue, and since it is a clue, Chu Lingyun will not let it go.
On Yang Jian's side, Shen Hanwen was keeping an eye on him, so there was no problem for the time being.
"Yes, Station Master."
Looking at Chu Lingyun's straight body, Wang Yuemin felt even more satisfied. Facts proved that he still had good vision and was a qualified talent scout.
He had chosen Chu Lingyun from among so many people in the army, and now it seemed he had made the right choice. Chu Lingyun had not let him down. He had grasped the suspicion based on a single point of irrationality, conducted an in-depth investigation, and ultimately achieved a huge breakthrough.
"Lingyun, come, sit down and talk."
He took Chu Lingyun back to his office. Even though he was Chu Lingyun's mentor and had taught Chu Lingyun, he didn't know how to start.
"Stationmaster, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Chu Lingyun saw that Wang Yuemin had something to say to him, and since he had chatted with Wang Jialiang alone before, he could probably guess what was going on.
Wang Yuemin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Look, I'd like the intelligence team to assist you in investigating this case. You're just a small team, and we're shorthanded. With the intelligence team's help, the investigation will go much more smoothly. Don't worry, now that the case has been handed over to you, it won't be given to anyone else."
Chu Lingyun's heart relaxed slightly.
Wang Jialiang is Wang Yuemin's most trusted confidant and also his cousin. Chu Lingyun had even wondered before whether Wang Yuemin would hand the case back to Wang Jialiang.
If that were the case, Chu Lingyun would definitely not agree. How could he let others pick the peaches he grew?
What's more, he had made great contributions in this case, and the members of Team 3 were waiting to be rewarded together with him. If he really handed the case over, he would not be able to explain to his teammates.
Now Wang Yuemin is asking for assistance from the intelligence team, so the initiative is still in his hands.
From this point, it can also be seen that Wang Yuemin was really good to him and had high hopes for him. He did not show favoritism to Wang Jialiang just because he was his cousin.
"Stationmaster, Ling Yun would love to have the assistance of the intelligence team. We are indeed short-handed. With the help of the intelligence team, I believe we will soon have greater gains."
Chu Lingyun's statement made Wang Yuemin even more satisfied. Chu Lingyun was sensible and did not cling to the credit. He was willing to share a share with Wang Jialiang.
This is the best outcome for Wang Yuemin.
"Don't worry, Lingyun. The case is yours now. You are the one in charge. Everyone must obey your orders, even Wang Jialiang. If you need manpower, you can mobilize the other two action teams at any time. The entire action team will be your backup."
For Wang Yuemin, the most important thing at the moment is to completely solve the case. For this matter, he can even listen to Chu Lingyun's arrangements.
"Thank you for your trust, Lingyun will definitely live up to your expectations."
Chu Lingyun stood up and saluted with a standard military salute. With Wang Yuemin's strong support, Chu Lingyun would have greater authority and more resources at his disposal.
This would definitely be beneficial to solving the case, and Chu Lingyun would only refuse if he was stupid.
"Tell me what you are going to do next?"
After discussing the intelligence team's matter, Wang Yuemin was completely relieved and took the initiative to talk about the case. He would also pay attention to every step that followed and keep abreast of the progress.
After gathering his thoughts, Chu Lingyun said, "We currently have four Japanese spies within our sight. Watanabe Ichiro has been apprehended and has confessed. Asano Ono and Endo Yuki are both exposed spies. We've handed them over to the intelligence team for investigation. They know Asano Ono very well and will recapture him when the time is right."
Wang Yuemin nodded involuntarily. The intelligence team had been tracking Qian Cang Xiaoye for a month, and it was indeed very appropriate for their people to continue the investigation.
"There's also the Yamada Trading Company. Endo Yuki is the general manager of this company. It's very likely that the entire Yamada Trading Company is connected to Japanese intelligence agencies. We can have the intelligence team conduct a detailed investigation of the Yamada Trading Company to see if there are any other findings."
Wang Yuemin slapped his thigh and said happily, "You are right. Yamada Trading Company is indeed suspicious and needs to be investigated. Let the intelligence team investigate them, and you continue to track down Yang Jian."
Chu Lingyun was very careful and noticed the new clue of Yamada Trading Company. With Asano Ono, Endo Yuki, and Yamada Trading Company, he gave instructions to Wang Jialiang and asked them to continue doing what they had not finished before.
In this way, Chu Lingyun only needs to target Yang Jian, which will be much easier.
With a two-pronged approach, no matter which side gains something, it will be the great achievement of their Wuhan station, and also his credit.
Seeing that Wang Yuemin agreed, Chu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the three Japanese spies currently exposed to their sight, Yang Jian is the most important one. He is Watanabe Ichiro's emergency contact and can also command Watanabe Ichiro. His status must be very high.
His importance is far greater than Asano Ono and Endo Yuki.
