Chapter 218 It's a natural progression
Shen Hanwen bent down and examined the table carefully.
The table had obviously been wiped. Yang Guang had spent so much time in this two-story building, was he kind enough to help clean up?
This is impossible. Besides, only this room is abnormal, and the other rooms are normal.
He must have done something here.
What did you do that required you to wipe the table clean?
Shen Hanwen's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Come here, search this place thoroughly inside and out, especially any places where there are traces of human intervention. We must thoroughly investigate."
Yang Guang, a Japanese spy, would not come here to wipe the table for no reason.
He wiped the table clean, he must be doing something, or covering something up.
Regardless of his purpose, he must have done something at this table. He just got the information yesterday and suddenly came here today. Shen Hanwen had a bold guess in his mind.
"Captain, we found a wire, it was hidden very deep."
Soon the team members made a discovery: there was a hidden electric wire on the roof with a socket. Shen Hanwen asked someone to test it and found that there was electricity.
There was electricity, and he instantly understood why Yang Guang came here.
"This kid actually hid the radio in the police station. He's really brave."
Shen Hanwen was very excited and shouted, "Quick, keep searching. There must be his radio here. If you find it, I'll give him the first credit."
Is the radio station here?
The team members under Shen Hanwen suddenly became excited. Finding the radio and getting the code book was no small achievement. They followed the captain and had a great chance of getting the credit.
All team members, separate and search.
All team members searched carefully on the roof, behind broken furniture, in the cracks of the walls, and even every corner of the yard.
Shen Hanwen was no longer in a hurry. As long as his radio was there, he would find it even if he had to dig three feet underground.
Others were afraid of the police station, but he wasn't.
Not to mention an abandoned patrol station, even if it was inside a police station, Shen Hanwen would still dare to search it.
Moreover, the police station failed to supervise its own area properly, allowing Japanese spies to take advantage of the loophole and send messages here. With this reason, he could directly scold the director of the police station.
"Captain, I found it, I found it."
More than 20 minutes later, a team member came over excitedly carrying a box. They finally found the hidden radio under the stove.
Seeing the radio inside, Shen Hanwen punched the air: "Great."
The radio station has been found, and the credit has been taken. Now it just depends on when to close the net and arrest the culprits.
Once all the people are caught, he will have to make great contributions this time.
After watching the radio for a while, he suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately looked up and asked, "Where's the code book?"
There was only a radio in the box, no code book.
The role of the code book is no less than that of the radio. Although the headquarters does not attach as much importance to the code book as before, after all, there are too many of them, and once there are too many of them, they will become less valuable.
But without the code book, the credit for finding the radio station would be half as much.
"There's no code book, only a radio."
The team member who found the radio station said hurriedly that he ran over after finding the thing, and indeed he did not see the code book.
"Keep looking. We must find the code book."
Shen Hanwen frowned and gave the order again. Without the code book, it was like having a big dinner with friends. The good wine was served, but there were no dishes.
What's the point of just drinking? It's more comfortable to have wine and food.
"yes."
The team members responded hurriedly and everyone searched again. They turned the entire patrol station upside down but still couldn't find the code book.
"Captain, could it be that he didn't leave the code book here?"
A team member asked carefully. This possibility is not impossible. After all, this is not Yang Guang's home. It is beyond everyone's expectation that the radio can be hidden here. If the code book is placed here, once the radio and the code book are discovered together, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"You guys keep looking, I'll report to the team leader."
Shen Hanwen was very unwilling to not find the code book, but he had to admit that what the team member said made sense. The Japanese spy did not keep the radio at home, so it was very likely that the code book and the radio were kept separately.
And finding the radio station was already very good progress, and he needed to report to the team leader.
"He's only been to these two places recently?"
After listening to his report, Chu Lingyun did not ask about the code book, but instead asked about Yang Guang's whereabouts.
"Yes, there are only these two places." Shen Hanwen replied quickly.
Shen Hanwen watched Yang Guang for five days, and if you include the time he spent observing the grove, it would be eight days.
Based on the analysis of the captured wild cats and carp, mole teams like them would go to the intelligence officer's dead mailbox two to three times a month to collect intelligence.
This is just one informant. If there are more informants, the number of charges will be greater.
On average, it happens once every three or four days.
It's a bit abnormal that Yang Guang only touched two dead mailboxes in such a long time.
"Don't worry, Codebook. Keep an eye on him for a few days and see how he develops. Be ready to close the net at any time."
Chu Lingyun instructed Shen Hanwen that Yang Guang could observe one dead mailbox for three days, so it was very likely that he did not have that many dead mailboxes.
Like the wildcats, they don't have a full staff of intelligence agents because they don't have enough moles.
In this case, the two dead mailboxes are all he has, and the subversion specialist rarely contacts the team leader. As long as they can find another Japanese spy, it will be time for them to close the net.
"Yes, Team Leader."
Shen Hanwen responded happily. He finally received the order to close the net. Only after catching the person could these achievements be truly realized.
There is always risk before someone is caught.
As for the code book, Chu Lingyun also tends to believe that the radio is not together with the code book. It is actually quite risky for Yang Guang to put the radio outside. He would not put the code book outside as well. That would not be risky, but stupid.
"No need to look for it. You two stay and restore this place to its original state. The rest of you follow me."
Shen Hanwen ran back excitedly and gave orders. It didn't matter if the code book couldn't be found, the most important thing was Yang Guang.
You can get the code book by catching him, searching his residence, or prying open his mouth.
The two team members who were instructed by Shen Hanwen to stay were dumbfounded, because the place was in a mess due to the search for the radio and the code book, and it was impossible to restore it to its original state.
Not to mention that they don't remember what it looked like originally, it's impossible to restore it with so much dust.
Unfortunately, Shen Hanwen had already gone far away, so they could only try to restore this place according to their own memories.
After get off work in the evening, Chu Lingyun went home as usual and saw Loach standing at the door from a distance.
There is a big box next to the loach.
"Team leader, you're back."
Loach ran over to greet him and said with a smile.
"Come in and talk." Chu Lingyun took a look at the box and knew that the box must contain the spoils of this house raid.
"Team Leader, we've seized over 600 gold bars this time. I've exchanged 500 of them for US dollars. The remaining 100 gold bars are all here."
They copied out more than 600 pieces, divided the leftovers among the loaches, and sent the bulk to Chu Lingyun.
"Thank you for your hard work. How's the investigation going with Nakamura Risana?"
Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded, and another 600 gold bars came into his account, but he couldn't take all of them.
One hundred will be sent as New Year greetings, and one hundred will also be given to Chu Yuan. Since they have been exchanged for US dollars, the same will be done when I give them US dollars later.
Chu Yuan is in charge of this case. He will not take all the gold bars. He will at least give half of them to his team members.
People follow you just to get promoted and make money. If you keep it all for yourself, it will look ugly and your subordinates will become alienated in the future.
Even so, the bulk of the responsibility still lies with Chu Lingyun.
The income he earned after coming to the headquarters was already more than what his parents had earned in their entire lives. However, all this money came from those traitors and lackeys, and Chu Lingyun felt at ease taking it.
If he doesn't take it, even if it is copied into the office, it will be divided among everyone and will never be sent to the national treasury.
Chu Lingyun couldn't reach the director yet, so he saved a lot of money. Otherwise, the director would have to give him a portion as well, and a big one at that.
"We're investigating. Nakamura Risa's social circle is vast, and she's come into contact with at least a hundred men. Team Leader He and I are carefully analyzing each one. Also, we haven't found her half of the poster yet, so we haven't rashly inquired about her relationship with the Japanese spy."
When it comes to work, Loach becomes much more serious.
He now hopes that something goes wrong with Risa Nakamura, so that he can pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and rob a large number of rich people's homes. The gains then will be much greater than this time.
"Take your time to investigate. Don't be impatient. Send me the investigation report from these days tomorrow. I'll take a look first."
Chu Lingyun nodded. There must be something wrong with Risa Nakamura, but it was not easy to find out the specific problem with someone like her, and it was easy to be obstructed.
There are many powerful young men around her. Without evidence, she can't even question them, otherwise it will easily lead to accusations from these people.
Chu Lingyun is not afraid of one or two people, but too many people will also be troublesome.
"Don't worry, I know my limits and I guarantee nothing will go wrong."
Loach nodded quickly. He was good at handling cases like this, and Chu Lingyun felt relieved to leave it to him.
Chu Lingyun temporarily put away a box of gold bars and US dollars.
There is no rush to send the New Year greetings. Shen Hanwen hasn't arrested anyone yet. Once he is arrested, we can copy out some more and send them together.
As soon as he arrived at the office the next day, Chu Yuan ran over to report: "Team Leader, there's something wrong with Zhang Huihao."
After catching the entire Carp Group, Chu Yuan did not rest. Among the eight moles in the Carp Group, only two were the same as theirs. Zhang Huihao, whom Chu Yuan was staring at, was not on the Carp's confession list.
He personally led people to keep an eye on Zhang Huihao and soon discovered the problem.
"Tell me about the situation."
Chu Lingyun asked Chu Yuan to sit down and report slowly.
"Zhang Huihao is an unemployed vagrant, unlike all the moles we've tracked down. My people have been following him for a few days and have discovered that he's been idle all day, not doing any proper work. He usually makes a living by cheating and deceiving people, and we haven't seen him spend money lavishly."
Is Zhang Huihao an unemployed vagrant?
Chu Lingyun frowned. Almost all of the people recruited by the Japanese spies had formal jobs, and without jobs, they could not provide useful intelligence.
What did the Japanese want with an unemployed vagrant, and why was he put into the mole group?
As for thugs like this, as long as you have money, you can bribe as many as you want.
"Have you checked Zhang Huihao's background and connections?" Chu Lingyun asked.
"Not yet. I'll check right away."
"Go ahead. Also, check if he has any other money saved. You can find a chance to search his house. Someone like him wouldn't keep his money in a bank. But the main thing is to check his connections."
Chu Lingyun nodded. Through the remittance records they investigated, someone in Guangzhou had remitted money to Zhang Huihao, and more than once.
However, his remittance slip was not found in Nanjing. The only people whose remittance slips were lost were those whose remittance slips were taken away by Japanese spies.
This shows that he is very likely related to Japanese spies.
But he was an unemployed vagrant and had no value to the Japanese, but he received at least 300 yuan in remittances every month. He didn't spend so much money himself, so where did it go?
Chu Lingyun guessed that if Zhang Huihao did not have a special identity, he was most likely helping others collect money, and the person who actually collected the money must have a close relationship with him.
"Yes, Team Leader, I'll check it out right away."
Chu Yuan left after receiving the order. After catching the Carp Team, he now only had Zhang Huihao in his hands.
The others are now helping to compare the remittance lists. The people from Chongqing have returned and will soon be able to complete the comparison of all the remittance records received this time.
Before noon, Chu Yuan hurried back: "Team Leader, we found out that Zhang Huihao has a cousin who works in the Party Affairs Investigation Office. He's a team leader named Tu Fang."
Tu Fang is Zhang Huihao's backer, and he wishes everyone knew about their relationship, so Chu Yuan found out easily.
With such a cousin, not many people dare to mess with him. Even the police will not offend him easily. If he is targeted by the Party Affairs Investigation Department, although it is not as harsh as the Military Intelligence Department, it will still cause trouble.
No public official wants to be targeted by intelligence agencies.
Relying on his cousin's relationship, Zhang Huihao often violated the law, but he was not very courageous and did not dare to commit murder or arson. He mostly engaged in corruption and extortion.
"Party Affairs Investigation Office."
Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened slightly. His guess was right. There really was an important person among Zhang Huihao's relatives.
Tu Fang is the captain of the Party Affairs Investigation Office. Even if he had more courage, he would not dare to accept the remittance so blatantly. After all, the Party Affairs Investigation Office is an intelligence agency.
If Tu Fangcai was the mole instigated by the Japanese, then everything would be logical.
The money that the Japanese spy transferred to Zhang Huihao actually belonged to Tu Fang, but he asked Zhang Huihao to collect it on his behalf. Tu Fang himself did not accept the money, so the Party Affairs Investigation Office would not specifically investigate the situation of his relatives.
That way, he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.
Although Zhang Huihao received a lot of money every month, the money did not belong to him. It only passed through his hands for a short time, and he had to give it to his cousin.
So he could only continue to rely on those unreputable means to make money and support his life.
Tu Fang is a major suspect.
"Keep an eye on Tu Fang, but be careful. Treat him with the same caution you would treat a Japanese spy."
Chu Lingyun said slowly that Tu Fang was not an ordinary person, he was an intelligence officer, and dealing with him could not be done like dealing with other moles, and one must be cautious.
Moreover, they currently have no evidence to prove that Tu Fang is the mole of the Japanese spy. If they are discovered by the Party Affairs Investigation Office, it will be troublesome if he bites them back.
