Chapter 153 Notice Hide
Chu Lingyun was a little surprised that Gu Cheng had developed so many relationships in six years.
Especially since he has such a close relationship with the water police, it means that he has a clear understanding of the defense forces on the river in Nanjing.
And this information must have been sent to the Japanese headquarters long ago.
"I understand. Write down these lists. They will be useful later."
"Yes, team leader." Loach nodded excitedly and wrote down the list. He would most likely catch these people in the future and then he could search their homes. This was his favorite thing.
"Team leader, how did you find out there was something wrong with Gu Cheng? I listened to the recording several times after I went back and couldn't hear it. You are truly amazing."
Loach gave Chu Lingyun a thumbs up. The flattery was sincere and he really didn't hear anything wrong.
The two of them were chatting about simple family matters, but how come the team leader could tell they were having a meeting?
Loach was puzzled.
"Pay more attention to the details and you'll naturally find out. Go back and listen to it a few more times. If you can't hear the problem, listen to it fifty times every day until you find it."
"Oh, fifty times."
Loach was stunned for a moment and immediately turned into a bitter face. He finally realized what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
If I can't hear the suspicious points here, won't I have to listen to the boring conversations between Zhang Bai and Gu Cheng every day in the future?
…
In the attic of the back hall of Jingyuan Bookstore, Ma Jingyuan was receiving a telegram.
He quickly translated the telegram. When he saw its content, his face suddenly changed. He burned the telegram, hid the radio, and immediately took his things and went outside.
"Xiao Li, keep an eye on it. I'm going out for a while."
Xiao Li is an employee of his bookstore, not Japanese, and does not know Ma Jingyuan's true identity.
"Boss, go take a bath again."
When Xiao Li saw Ma Jingyuan carrying a towel and clothes, he asked with a smile. There were two employees in the store, and they both knew that Ma Jingyuan liked to take a bath.
In order to conceal his connection with Zhang Bai, Ma Jingyuan did not ask Zhang Bai to do a pedicure every time he went there. Sometimes he just took a bath. As a bookstore owner, he was a scholar and no one would suspect anything if he liked to be clean.
And he not only went to Deyuan Pool, he would occasionally go to other bathhouses as well. It was just that Deyuan Pool was closest to him, so he went there more often.
"It's getting hotter and hotter, I've been sweating a lot, I'm going to take a bath."
Ma Jingyuan did not deny it, slowly walked out of the store and headed towards Deyuan Pond.
After leaving the bookstore, his face became much gloomier.
Shanghai sent them the latest information, confirming that Taro Kawamoto had never appeared next to Yan Kuian, and might not even have been to Shanghai.
Otherwise, with my brother's personality, he would go to visit Yan Kuian first, which was equivalent to scouting the place first.
My brother didn’t go to Shanghai, so where did he go?
He knew his brother's character very well. He was never vague about orders and always put the mission first. After receiving the mission, he would definitely go to Shanghai, but now he was not there.
Zhang Bai posted an appointment in the newspaper, but his brother did not show up.
This gave Ma Jingyuan a bad feeling.
In addition to confirming that his brother was not in Shanghai, the Shanghai side also specifically ordered them that something might have happened to the crocodile and asked Zhang Bai to hide for a while.
It's just a temporary hiding, there's no mention of evacuation. After all, Zhang Bai has been lurking for ten years, and it's not easy to have such an identity. He won't be allowed to give up this identity easily before it's confirmed that he has been exposed.
"Captain, Ma Jingyuan went to Deyuan Pond again."
Loach was listening to a news report on camping when his men came in to give a quick report. Loach immediately took off his headphones and frowned, "Here he comes again. How many times has he been here this month?"
"This is the fifth time. I met Zhang Bai twice. I don't know what happened this time."
"Continue to monitor and monitor to see if he and Zhang Bai will meet. I'll call the team leader."
Loach gave the order. Ma Jingyuan's behavior was a bit abnormal. He had just come to take a bath two days ago, and he didn't see Zhang Bai that time, but he had been to Deyuan Pool too frequently recently.
According to Deyuanchi's records, Ma Jingyuan usually came four times a month at most, and this month, just after twenty days, it was already the fifth time.
This is not a good sign to happen so frequently.
"I understand. Keep an eye on them, I'll be right there."
After receiving the call from Loach, Chu Lingyun also had doubts and immediately led the team out.
"What's going on now?"
Arriving at the monitoring room, Chu Lingyun immediately asked. Niu Qiu's face was not so good. He raised his head and said, "They just finished the conversation. Ma Jingyuan told Zhang Bai that Crocodile has not appeared in Shanghai. The Shanghai authorities ordered him to hide temporarily."
The disappearance of Kawamoto Xiangta was eventually discovered by the Japanese.
However, it was only after such a long time that they realized that Kawamoto Xiangta's value had been demonstrated. Zhang Bai, Ma Jingyuan, and Gu Cheng were all the gains of this time.
"Team leader, do you want to arrest someone?" Loach asked in a low voice.
"Play the recording for me first."
Chu Lingyun took the monitoring record and listened and watched it. He noticed that Niu Qiu mentioned hiding when he reported just now.
In the recording, Ma Jingyuan did talk about hiding, but he did not mention himself, only Zhang Bai.
Zhang Bai agreed to the hidden request and said that he would ask for leave from his employer today because his mother-in-law was sick and he wanted to take his wife and children back to her parents' home.
His wife hasn't been back to her parents' home for two years, and someone in the family is sick. This is a very sufficient reason.
The owner of Deyuanchi would definitely not have any doubts about such a false excuse.
After listening to the recording, Chu Lingyun closed his eyes and thought.
In the recording, only Zhang Bai wanted to hide, which means that both they and the Shanghai side thought that something might have happened to Kawamoto Xiangta, and they did this to ensure safety.
And it's only suspicion, not confirmation, otherwise it would not be hiding but emergency evacuation.
During their conversation, Chu Lingyun also discovered a piece of information.
Zhang Bai and the Shanghai side did not know that Kawamoto Xiangtai and Ma Jingyuan had met secretly, so they did not let Ma Jingyuan hide with them.
If he knew, it would be impossible for Ma Jingyuan to continue to carry out normal activities.
But these are just speculations. The most important thing is, what should he do next?
Although Zhang Bai's wife's parents' home is not far away, in AH, it is in the countryside. If Zhang Bai really went to hide in his wife's parents' home, their people would not be able to track and monitor him.
The best we can do is watch from the outskirts of the village to prevent him from escaping.
Most of the people in the countryside are from the same village. If an outsider goes there at this time, the villagers will definitely know. It is not safe to just watch the exit from the village. Zhang Bai may escape at any time without being noticed in other places.
Even if he disguised himself as a peddler, it wouldn't work. A peddler could at most inquire about the situation, but he couldn't keep an eye on Zhang Bai all the time.
Now Chu Lingyun is faced with a difficult problem: should he arrest Zhang Bai or let him hide in the countryside?
The third update. Yesterday the monthly votes increased by 212 votes, and two more chapters were added. I was very happy. We currently have 1,500 paid readers, and I thought there would be more than a hundred votes today, and two more chapters. I didn’t expect that there are only 33 votes so far. I am a little disappointed.
