Chapter 156 Full of Passion
It’s too late to regret now. We must remember the lesson this time.
"But overall, you've done something. It doesn't matter if Zhang Bai is dead. We're still keeping an eye on his subordinates. As long as we can catch him, it's fine. At least we've dealt a heavy blow to a Japanese spy team."
Henian comforted Chu Lingyun and after a few simple words, the two came to Zhang Bai's body.
Zhang Bai was covered in blood. The grenade he was holding exploded, and he suffered the most damage and died on the spot.
All the fingers on his right hand were missing, and his arm was visibly broken in many places, hanging erratically. His face was unrecognizable, covered in blood and cuts.
The clothes on his body were tattered, and if the grenade exploded like that, there was almost no chance of survival.
"Where are the policemen?"
After seeing Zhang Bai's body, Henian was very angry. What a good opportunity to make a great contribution was ruined by a few policemen. These policemen deserve to die.
“They’re all locked up.”
Chu Lingyun wanted to kill these policemen, but he couldn't kill them rashly. Although they had the right to kill first and report later, killing them rashly without sufficient reason would have a great impact on him.
"Those who deserted the battlefield deserve to be killed. Go investigate them and find out everything about them. I'll punish them for all their crimes."
He Nian said coldly, and Chu Lingyun nodded. These policemen were doomed to die. He Nian wanted to vent his anger, or to vent his anger for his injured brothers, by killing these policemen.
They could be shot for the crime of deserting the battlefield, but Henian obviously still considered the impact of directly killing people, so he wanted to investigate their other crimes and leave others speechless.
The police captain at the checkpoint probably never knew until his death that his actions at that time had such serious consequences.
"Yes, Chief."
Chu Lingyun obeyed the order. He had no sympathy for these policemen, and the best way was to send them New Year's greetings.
Zhang Bai died and the operation failed, which was indeed terrible. Fortunately, Chu Lingyun was fine, and Henian felt relieved.
He had to report this matter to the director, but based on his understanding of the director, Chu Lingyun would not have any problem.
Zhang Bai was a Japanese spy found out by Chu Lingyun, and his subordinates were also found out. There were many unexpected events during the operation, but it was just that no one was caught alive. At least this Japanese spy was eliminated.
Unfortunately, the credit will be much less.
"Team leader, are you okay?"
As soon as Chu Lingyun arrived at the hospital, Niu Qiu ran over. He did not participate in today's operation. He was still leading the team to investigate the newspaper and Zhang Bai's old customers.
Ma Jingyuan's investigation of customers stopped at this moment. He was indeed a radio operator and there was no need to waste time on these customers.
"I'm fine."
Chu Lingyun didn't have time to ask Niu Qiu, so he immediately found his team members and asked about the condition of the injured.
The three team members who were scratched by shrapnel were fine. Except for one who had bone injuries, the other two were only scratched. This kind of skin injury can heal in a few days.
The two team members closest to the explosion were not very optimistic.
One person had multiple shrapnel in his body and was undergoing surgery. The other person was slightly better, but was also seriously injured. However, he is now awake and is no longer in danger of death.
Two were seriously injured, three were slightly injured, and the life or death of one person was unknown. This was the price of the failure of the operation.
This time, Chu Lingyun brought Shen Hanwen's team. Shen Hanwen only took twelve people with him to Shanghai. It didn't take so many people to find the Japanese spies who were monitoring Yan Kuifa, so Chu Lingyun took all the remaining people to carry out the mission.
He was leading the team himself, yet something like this happened.
Seeing that Chu Lingyun was in a bad mood, Loach didn't dare to say anything and just waited quietly by the side.
The operation was over after more than an hour. The doctor said it was a success. The team member was lucky because a shrapnel was very close to his heart and he almost died.
As long as the person is not dead, Chu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether in Wuhan or Nanjing, he treated his men well and led them on many missions. Injuries occurred, but no one was ever lost.
"Give this money to the hospital and pass on the instructions to ensure that the brothers get the best care in the hospital." Chu Lingyun took out a handful of money and handed it to the guarding team members.
The members of Action Group 4 are either enthusiastic trainees or elites selected from the military.
They have not yet been infected by the bad habits of this era, and many of them are truly serving the country and want to eliminate more Japanese spies.
They are heroes, Chu Lingyun will not let them bleed and shed tears.
"How's the investigation going over there?" Chu Lingyun finally had time to ask Niu Qiu after finishing his work at the hospital.
Loach said hurriedly, "Team Leader, that newspaper company publishes two newspapers. The missing person notice Zhang Bai registered is in the News Daily, which is their main newspaper. The circulation is quite large, at least 10,000 copies a day, and sometimes it can reach 15,000 copies. I've done some research, and except for a few companies and government departments that subscribe to their newspapers, the rest are sold at newsstands. I've already made arrangements with Zhang Bai's regular customers. As long as they buy a newspaper, I'll be able to track it down."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Find all of Zhang Bai's subordinates as soon as possible and avenge our brothers."
Chu Lingyun nodded. Zhang Bai had many old customers, but it was impossible for all of them to buy this newspaper. After screening, many suspects could be eliminated.
"Yes, don't worry, I will find out the Japanese spies as soon as possible and avenge my brothers."
Loach obeyed the order. Today the newspaper had not been distributed yet, so he could relax a little. But tomorrow he would have to keep an eye on Zhang Bai's customers for three days starting from tomorrow to see who bought the newspaper.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, good news came from the hospital: the most seriously injured team member woke up.
It's good that people can wake up. Once they wake up, they can survive. The rest is just recuperation. After they recover, they can still be heroes.
"News Daily" was distributed in batches. Loach was short of staff, so the method he used was very simple. He did not target any particular person, but focused on the newsstands.
Zhang Bai's old customers basically live not too far from him.
If it's too far away and you keep running here, it will arouse other people's suspicion.
The person who is watching will immediately note down which old customer has bought the newspaper. All those who have bought the newspaper will be suspected. After confirming all those who have bought the newspaper, they can be checked.
Those who haven't bought the newspaper after three days can basically be ruled out as suspects.
The signals sent out in this kind of newspaper are very time-sensitive, and general newsstands do not sell expired newspapers. They will return unsold newspapers to the newspaper office.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chu Lingyun received a call from Shen Hanwen.
"Boss, our business is very successful. We signed the contract last night, and they both got the contract. Mr. Wu from Shanghai asked me to convey his gratitude to you."
Shen Hanwen said excitedly that after sufficient preparation, they took decisive action last night and captured both of them.
300 monthly tickets plus more chapters, thanks to my friends in 2017 for the 1500 starting coins reward, thanks to Meng Chu, A Di Shen 11, and Dao Lan Jushi for the 100 starting coins reward each.
