Chapter 22 Fish Appears
"Stationmaster, I plan to monitor it myself this time."
Chu Lingyun expressed his own thoughts. He really didn't expect that the other party would arrange a substitute, which allowed the real Japanese spy to escape, and also allowed Asano Ono and Endo Yuki to escape together.
Although Wang Yuemin did not criticize him and only said that the Japanese were too cunning, it was indeed a problem on his side. He wanted to recapture the two escaped Japanese spies and wash away this shame.
"Okay, do you need more help?"
Wang Yuemin agreed immediately. He would feel more at ease if Chu Lingyun went to keep an eye on it personally.
This incident was indeed an oversight on Chu Lingyun's part, but this kind of oversight would have happened to him or Wang Jialiang as well. Before knowing the truth, even he had never thought that Yang Jian was just a stand-in.
So he did not blame Chu Lingyun at all. On the contrary, through this incident, he appreciated and trusted Chu Lingyun even more. If it were Wang Jialiang, he probably wouldn't have even found the reason yet.
"Thank you, Station Master. I don't need anyone else. Just give me a few female team members. My third team is all men, and there are some things they can't do."
Chu Lingyun was not polite. Solving the case was the most important thing. He wanted the female team members to go directly to the counter of the cosmetics store, pretend to be salespersons, and keep a record of all people who bought the four kinds of cosmetics at any time.
In this way, even if the female Japanese spy did not show up in person, she would still be able to know the whereabouts of these cosmetics and assist in the investigation.
"No problem. I'll arrange as many people as you need."
Wang Yuemin agreed immediately. As soon as Chu Lingyun asked for someone, he understood his intention. The place where cosmetics were sold really needed their people to guard it, so that it would be safer.
After the report was completed and Chu Lingyun left, Wang Yuemin kept walking back and forth in the office.
Something unexpected happened, but fortunately it was not completely out of control. What surprised Wang Yuemin the most was that Chu Lingyun actually found the cosmetics used by the female Japanese spy.
By keeping an eye on these cosmetics sales outlets and waiting for the opportunity, it is not only feasible but also highly feasible. No matter how cunning the Japanese are, they would never expect that Chu Lingyun actually has such ability.
Finding the female Japanese spy is equivalent to finding Watanabe Ichiro's real superior. Catching them then will be a great achievement.
The only uncontrollable thing is whether these two Japanese spies will escape Wuhan directly. However, since these two people did not leave the city at the first time, the possibility of leaving the city is not high. After all, their work here is very important and they will not evacuate so easily.
With the help of Shen Hanwen, Yang Jian finally managed to draw the neighbor man to a 90% likeness.
With these three portraits, Chu Lingyun has another direction for investigation.
The next morning, Chu Lingyun personally took Shen Hanwen and others to Wanhui Shopping Mall. Wanhui Shopping Mall was the most important place, so Chu Lingyun personally went to guard it.
Chu Lingyun asked Niu Qiu to send a few photos to the shoe shiner Liu Qiang, including those of Asano Ono and Endo Yuki.
Chu Lingyun would not give up on these useful external spies, so he asked Liu Qiang to arrange all the shoe shiners to carefully remember the appearance of the people in the photos, and report at any time if they met someone who looked like the person in the photo.
If you find the right person, you will get a high reward of two hundred yuan.
If all five people can find it, they can directly receive a reward of one thousand yuan. Not to mention one thousand, even two hundred yuan is a huge sum of money for these shoe shiners.
With the precedent of Liu Qiang and Datou receiving rewards before, these shoe shiners were very motivated. Liu Qiang and Datou had received a reward of 100 yuan each before, which made them very envious. They all wondered if they could be as lucky as Liu Qiang and Datou and help find the person and receive such a huge reward.
In addition to shoe shiners like Liu Qiang, some photos were also sent to the rickshaw driver Gou Zi.
Those who can see the photos have a common request, which is that they must keep it strictly confidential. If the confidentiality is not done well, and these Japanese spies know that they are being searched for throughout the city, they will most likely stay at home and not go out, which will be counterproductive.
Once someone is found to have leaked the information, he will be subject to military law and may even be executed.
There were also some ruffians that Loach knew, and they had also made arrangements. Now Chu Lingyun had cast a huge net, just waiting for these fish to show up.
"Captain, it's time for dinner."
Wanhui Shopping Mall, Shen Hanwen brought back the food he bought. Chu Lingyun has personally brought them here to keep watch for five days. Their current identity is salesperson at another counter.
A lot of things were sold in five days, but the female Japanese spy never showed up.
"You guys eat first."
Chu Lingyun looked at the high-end cosmetics counter diagonally opposite. This counter contained three kinds of cosmetics used by the female Japanese spy, and it was the place where she was most likely to appear.
Apart from this place, wherever cosmetics depicting female Japanese spies are sold, there are people holding photos and watching.
Not knowing how the female Japanese spy used cosmetics, Chu Lingyun could only use this stupid method to keep an eye on her. This required sufficient patience. Fortunately, Chu Lingyun was not lacking in patience.
"Captain, eat first, it will get cold soon."
Shen Hanwen whispered some advice. Chu Lingyun had been watching them with them these past few days. Not only did he watch them for the longest time every day, but he also always let the other team members eat first and he would eat last.
After a few days, Shen Hanwen and several other team members had more respect for Chu Lingyun.
"It's okay, just eat quickly, and continue watching after you finish eating."
Chu Lingyun refused again. Shen Hanwen had no choice but to eat with another team member first. After they finished eating, Chu Lingyun picked up the bowl and chopsticks.
While we were eating, a woman who looked to be in her forties came to the counter diagonally opposite.
Shen Hanwen just glanced at it and then looked in another direction.
The woman looked very ordinary and dressed simply. She was completely different from the female spies he had seen before and did not attract Shen Hanwen's attention.
Chu Lingyun raised his head and put down the food in his hand temporarily.
There is something wrong with this woman.
She lowered her head and looked ordinary, but Chu Lingyun recognized her at a glance. She had put on makeup and her makeup skills were pretty good.
In Chu Lingyun's previous life, he could completely transform himself into a celebrity through makeup. No matter how good the other person's makeup skills were, they could not hide it from him, a professional.
"Hanwen, notify the brothers to be on guard."
Chu Lingyun said this and walked out directly. He did not walk fast, nor did he deliberately look at the made-up woman. Instead, he smiled and walked over to greet the salesperson at the counter on the other side.
"Yuan Li, how's business today?"
When Chu Lingyun spoke, he didn't even look at the woman, but his nose sniffed quickly.
This woman had a fragrance on her body, and it was exactly the mixed fragrance he had smelled in the bedroom of the Japanese spy in Jinsan Lane. The woman's makeup skills were indeed good, but she could not change the unique smell on her body.
By the smell, Chu Lingyun could confirm that this disguised woman was the person he had been keeping an eye on for several days.
"Brother Chu, you know that things are very expensive here, and we can't sell much in a day."
The salesperson named Yuan Li replied with a smile, and then took a bottle of perfume and vanishing cream to the woman. The woman paid directly and left quickly.
Chu Lingyun noticed that she bought the two cosmetics that she had found before.
The fish appeared.
