Chapter 133 Searching for Clues
When Liang Yu discovered this suspicion, Chu Lingyun praised him a few words, which made Liang Yu very excited.
As for the suspicious point discovered by Chu Lingyun, it was a person from the Telecommunications Department named Chen Xiu.
There was nothing wrong with his file. He had a resume since he was a child. He graduated from Jinling University. Although he was not a soldier, he had strong professional ability and was selected by Feng Lun, the head of the Telecommunications Department, to join the Military Intelligence Department.
Chen Xiu is 29 years old this year. After graduating from Jinling University, he worked in the Logistics Department. Four years ago, he was transferred to the Military Intelligence Department and is now a backbone of the Telecommunications Department.
Chu Lingyun singled out his file because there was some doubt in it.
Chen Xiu is an orphan who grew up with adoptive parents, who died in an accident ten years ago, the same year Chen Xiu started college.
The adoptive parents had no children, so they adopted Chen Xiu.
Of all the files I've read so far, he's the only one without parents or siblings.
If it were in other units, such a family situation would gain a lot of sympathy from people.
But they are an intelligence unit, and if they are Japanese spies disguised as such, this identity would be perfect.
It was because of this that Chu Lingyun picked out his file.
Bringing this up doesn't mean that he is a traitor. Now, except for those who were excluded by the director, Chu Lingyun will remain suspicious of everyone who joined three years ago.
This is the basic principle of intelligence work. How can you conduct an investigation if you don’t doubt anything?
The more suspicions and verifications you have, you will eventually find clues of Japanese spies and catch the real ones.
"Let's just stop here for today. You've worked hard. Go back and rest first."
Chu Lingyun's eyes were sore from watching, and it was late, so he didn't plan to continue watching.
"Team leader, please go back and have a rest. I want to watch for a while longer." Liang Yu shook his head. He was very motivated now and didn't want to go back so early.
Zhang Acheng hurriedly followed up, "Me too, Team Leader. You go back first."
"Okay, but don't stay up too late. Remember to balance work and rest, and don't be too impatient at work."
The two of them had a positive attitude and were willing to work overtime. Chu Lingyun couldn't blame them and could only agree.
The next day, Chu Lingyun arrived at the office and found the two men asleep on the coffee table. He noticed that all the files had been sorted, and that the two men had worked overtime the previous night to finish reading all the remaining files.
Chu Lingyun shook his head. Intelligence work cannot be done in a hurry. It is not enough to read these files once. You need to read them at least three times.
This is how it goes for the first time, how do we work next time?
Chu Lingyun didn't call them. He went out by himself and asked someone in the big office to give them two coats to put on. Then he quietly closed the office door and let them have a good rest inside.
"Team leader, I'm sorry, we watched it too late yesterday."
The two didn't wake up until 9:30 in the morning. They found Chu Lingyun reading documents on Loach's desk and said embarrassedly.
"Your work attitude is commendable, but your approach is wrong. I won't punish you this time, but please be careful next time."
Chu Lingyun spoke seriously, but with a smile, and the two understood that the team leader did not really blame them.
"Yes, Team Leader, we were too impatient this time. We will be more careful with our methods next time."
Liang Yu sincerely admitted his mistake, and Chu Lingyun then stood up and returned to his office.
"Team Leader, I'm back."
It was not until the afternoon that Loach dragged his tired body back to the office and went to report to Chu Lingyun first.
"Thank you for your hard work. What are the results of the investigation?"
Chu Lingyun raised his head. Loach was hardworking and smart. He was now the most useful person under his command. It was a pity that there was only one Loach.
Shen Hanwen is loyal, but he lacks ability. He is a thug and can only be used when taking action.
"I've checked. Including those who provide door-to-door services, there are a total of 107 pedicurists in that area, excluding apprentices. However, five of them quit and returned home, so they can be excluded. Now there are 102 left."
One hundred and two is still a large number. It is impossible to find the Japanese spy among so many people in a short period of time.
"Go back and rest first. Bring more people tomorrow to continue the investigation. We need to thoroughly investigate the names, addresses, hometowns, and past experiences of these 102 people. Can you do that?"
Loach stood up straight and replied loudly, "Don't worry, Team Leader. I will complete the task you assigned me, no matter how hard it takes."
"Sure enough, the nickname was correct. You're really cunning."
Chu Lingyun laughed and scolded, "Loach is deliberately showing loyalty, but no one likes to hear such words. No wonder people who are good at flattering usually climb up the ladder very quickly."
Loach chuckled and said, "Team Leader, I'm speaking from the heart. Honestly, when have I ever failed to complete the tasks you assigned to me?"
"Okay, remember your contribution, go and get some rest."
After sending Loach away, Chu Lingyun looked through the information of the 102 people that Loach brought back. In just one day, he had a complete understanding of more than 100 people. Apart from Loach, no one else could do it, not even Chu Lingyun himself.
Of course, the information only contained names and nicknames, so it was impossible to thoroughly investigate everyone in such a short period of time. Time was too tight, and since some people's names couldn't be investigated, they were just noted down by their nicknames.
As soon as Loach left, the phone on the table rang.
"Team Leader Chu, there's a police officer named Wang Sheng outside looking for you. Do you want to let him in?"
"This is the person I want, let him in."
The call was from the security guard. Wang Sheng also came. It seemed that he had completed his instructions.
Wang Sheng did complete the task assigned to him by Chu Lingyun, and came to Chu Lingyun's office with a stack of documents.
"Commander Chu, this is what you want." Wang Sheng walked into Chu Lingyun's office and bowed with a smile.
"Leave it there."
Chu Lingyun pointed to the coffee table, and Wang Sheng hurriedly put the documents away and even sorted them out neatly.
"Captain Chu, please go ahead and do your work. Feel free to call me if you have anything else."
Wang Sheng didn't dare stay with Chu Lingyun for too long. He knew that this was an intelligence unit, and if he stayed for even a second longer, he might get into trouble.
If he was suspected of deliberately gathering information, he would be in big trouble.
Chu Lingyun did not stand up. Wang Sheng did a good job. He would have benefits in the future. Now Wang Sheng was his peripheral subordinate and one of his own. He did not need to give him money as a reward every time like before.
Similarly, becoming one of his own would bring him many benefits, far greater than the few hundred dollars.
After Wang Sheng left, Chu Lingyun came to the coffee table and sat down.
The Japanese spy case can only be continued after the results of Loach's investigation are out. The traitor case is currently too busy to be worked on, so I can only slowly look for clues in the files and find the key suspects.
But his parents' affairs could not be delayed. Jiang Binghui had already arrived in Nanjing and specifically said that there was a mission to kill him. Whether it was true or not, it was certain that the Japanese spies were targeting him.
The most important thing for Chu Lingyun at the moment is to coax his parents to Chongqing as soon as possible.
