Chapter 230 Helping the Director (Part 2)
(I was in a hurry to update and made a mistake. I wrote two chapters separately and only updated the second one. You can see the new content by refreshing the previous chapter.)
"yes."
Several section chiefs received the order, and Cai Ruzhen continued, "Tell the people below to work hard these next few days. Whoever finds Ren Cheng first will be rewarded with ten gold bars, regardless of life or death."
Money doesn't motivate team leaders much, but it is very useful for those below them.
This time, in order to find the person, Cai Zheng was really willing to give it his all. There must be brave men when there is a big reward. Ten gold bars are a huge reward for many people below.
The department will definitely not reimburse this money, so he has to find a way to make up for it himself.
If it can't be smoothed over, he will have to pay for it himself.
Thinking of this, Cai Zhengru's heart was bleeding, and he hated Ren Cheng even more.
Everyone at the Hangzhou station was mobilized, all informants were mobilized, and they were frantically searching for Ren Cheng. Chu Lingyun was still in the school, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and working as an instructor peacefully.
These days' classes have made the students completely convinced of him. Every time he talks about a case, the students will think from his perspective and think about what they would do if they were Instructor Chu and encountered such a situation.
The final result made them very frustrated. They could not do as well as Instructor Chu.
There are many cases that they can't even solve.
Commander Chu did such a good job, no wonder he was so powerful, and he defeated the Japanese spies step by step.
Shanghai, Special High Section.
Kitagawa Mei called Iijima Nao to his office and asked him about his recent investigation.
"Section Chief, there's not much information on Chu Lingyun. I only found out about his grades and performance in the military academy. His performance wasn't the best in the academy, just above average. After joining the army, it was also average. I didn't expect him to perform so well after being transferred to the Military Intelligence Department."
"It is said that he was transferred back to headquarters because of his outstanding performance in Wuhan. Now I believe Jiang Teng's words. The losses of our teams are likely caused by him."
Iijima Nao spoke quickly, while Kitagawa Ming looked disappointed. "That's not what I want. His residence, his hobbies, who's around him, where he frequents, where his family is, have you found out about that?"
"We are investigating, but there is no result yet."
Iijima Nao didn't dare to look up. After several days, he hadn't found any useful information. He would definitely be punished by the section chief this time.
"Not yet, why?" Beichuan Ming was slightly stunned and asked angrily.
"We can't find any information about him in the Military Intelligence Department, but I did find his home address. It's in Ningcheng. His parents are local teachers, and he has a younger sister. But the people I sent to Ningcheng reported that his parents left two months ago. No one knows where they went. We only know they went to a very far place and won't be back for the next few years."
Iijima Nao said carefully, he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find information about Chu Lingyun.
The home address was found, but it was of no use.
"Forget it, I'm going back to China tomorrow. Please ask Kono and Jiang Teng to come over."
Beichuan Ming waved his hands, feeling very tired.
After so many days, he couldn't find any results after checking anyone, and Nao Iijima was very dissatisfied with his work efficiency.
But Iijima Nao was his trusted subordinate, and he was about to return to his country. He had no mood to curse at him at this time. He had to arrange everything before returning home.
"Section Chief."
Kono Kobayashi and Jiang Tengkong knelt together in front of Beichuan Ming.
"Tomorrow you will set off for Nanjing and look for an opportunity to kill Chu Lingyun. Jiang Teng knows Chu Lingyun quite well, so Kono, listen to his advice when you take action."
Since we can’t find out clearly, we can only arrange the action by force.
This time when he returned to China, he didn't know whether he could pass this hurdle. If not, he didn't want his successor to continue to face the threat of Chu Lingyun.
He wanted to completely eliminate this hidden danger while he was still the section chief.
"Hayi."
Kono Kobayashi and Jiang Tengkong nodded together, then Kono Kobayashi raised his head and looked at Beichuan Ming.
Beichuan Ming immediately understood what he meant when he looked at him like this: "Iijima is incompetent. He hasn't found any useful clues. We don't even know where he lives. When you get to Nanjing, be careful. Find him and then find a way to kill him."
"You haven't found out where I live?"
Kono Kobayashi widened his eyes. Iijima Naoko was the head of the intelligence team and the section chief's most trusted confidant.
Why is Nao Iijima so bad this time? He didn't find any useful clues.
"He has no other choice. Our intelligence network in Nanjing has suffered heavy losses, so there is only so much he can find out."
Kitagawa Mei is dissatisfied with Iijima Nao, but he still has to speak up for him.
Without those moles, especially the loss of the Military Intelligence Department's insider, it became extremely difficult for them to investigate this opponent.
"I understand. Don't worry, I will kill him as soon as possible and bring back his head."
Kono Kobayashi nodded. His action team could still achieve results even without any intelligence. This time he wanted to show the section chief that he was no worse than Iijima Naoki.
He can do whatever Nao Iijima can do.
"Kono, Jiang Teng, I'm leaving you two in charge."
Beichuan Ming said seriously, and then bowed to them.
"Section Chief, please wait for my good news."
Kono Kobayashi hurriedly returned the greeting, and Jiang Tengkong echoed him from the side, still sneering in his heart.
How could this operation succeed with him following us?
However, the Special High Police have already dispatched operatives, with the team leader leading the team personally. This news must be told to the Chinese as soon as possible so that they can take precautions.
…
The head of the Military Intelligence Department had an extremely gloomy expression on his face.
He gave Tsai Ing-wen an opportunity to eliminate the traitor and resolve the hidden danger within three days. However, three days passed and the Tsai government did not even find the shadow of the traitor.
This result made the anger in his heart erupt completely.
"Limin, call Henian and Yin Bowen to me."
The director gave the order in a cold voice, and Secretary Qi's heart tightened suddenly. He Nian was the head of the operations section, and Yin Bowen was the new head of the inspection section.
By calling these two people over together, it will be clear what the Director is going to do.
If we send people to capture Cai Zhengru, once Cai Zhengru is caught, his fate will definitely not be good.
"Director, Cai Zhengru certainly deserves death, but I think it's difficult to target the Hangzhou station right now. Isn't Chu Lingyun in Hangzhou? You can ask him to help the Hangzhou station eliminate the traitor first. After that, you can deal with Cai Zhengru later. Whether you capture him or execute him, he will deserve it."
Secretary Qi quickly said that it was not possible not to protect Cai Zhengru. If he didn't even protect Cai Zhengru, how would others look at him in the future?
The person in the entire Military Intelligence Department who had the closest relationship with him was Cai Zhengru, followed by Henian.
The director remained silent, while Secretary Qi felt a little relieved.
He is the person who knows Chu Zuo best. He knows very well what Chu Zuo values. Compared with dealing with Cai Zhengru, catching the traitor and eliminating the hidden dangers are more important.
Since the Director did not directly refuse, there was a chance to save the situation. If the Director did not even listen to this advice, then Cai Zhengru would really be finished this time and no one could save him.
"Send separate telegrams to Cai Zhengru and Chu Lingyun, asking Cai Zhengru to assist Chu Lingyun in investigating the Hangzhou traitor case. Also, give Chu Lingyun sufficient authority. Everyone at the Hangzhou station must obey his orders. If anyone disobeys his orders, Chu Lingyun can execute them first and report to him later."
Secretary Qi was startled and immediately took the order to go out and send the message.
Chu Zuo must be extremely disappointed with Cai Ruzhu, otherwise he would not ask him to assist Chu Lingyun, but would let Chu Lingyun assist him.
Chu Lingyun is just a team leader at the headquarters, at the same level as the branch team leader. Even if calculated according to the default half-level higher rank, he is only at the same level as the deputy station chief, or even lower than the deputy station chief.
Now asking a station chief to assist the team leader in handling the case proves that the director has great distrust in Cai Zhengru.
In order to prevent Cai Zheng from doing his job without putting in his effort, the director gave Chu Lingyun the power of life and death. He could execute him first and report to the emperor later. This meant that if Cai Zheng did not obey his orders, Chu Lingyun would bring him to justice on the spot.
This authority is very broad.
So far, such power has not been given to many people. It was only given once when Henian was out on a case. But Henian was a section chief after all, and his rank was there.
But at least Cai Zhengru was saved temporarily. Next, it depends on whether he can make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence. If he still can't do it, Secretary Qi will be powerless to do anything.
Chu Lingyun and Cai Zhengru received the secret telegram sent by Secretary Qi one after another.
Chu Lingyun didn't have a radio, but Zhu Qing brought one with him to facilitate communication with the headquarters. This time, there was no need for Deputy Director Yu to help pass the message, Chu Lingyun could receive the order himself.
"Let me lead the traitor case at Hangzhou Station?"
Chu Lingyun was stunned when he saw the content of the telegram. He knew nothing about the Hangzhou Station and didn't even know who the station chief was. Why would he suddenly be asked to handle such a case?
More importantly, it was clearly a case involving the Hangzhou station, but they were only assisting and gave him the right to act first and report later.
This must be the Virgo's order. What is the Virgo going to do?
The telegram was not clear, it only asked him to go to Hangzhou Station immediately and contact the stationmaster Cai Zhengru, who would cooperate with him at that time.
His course at the training school had just ended, and he had originally planned to take a day off before returning to Nanjing, but now he can't go back.
"Deputy Director Yu, I suddenly received an order and now I have to go to Hangzhou Station."
I didn’t have time to say goodbye to the students, but I had to say hello to Deputy Director Yu.
"When there's a mission, prioritize the mission first. Go ahead, Lingyun. Thank you so much for this."
Deputy Director Yu was very surprised as to why Chu Lingyun had a mission in Hangzhou, but he was smart and didn't ask questions that he shouldn't have asked.
"You're welcome, Deputy Director Yu. I'll visit you again when I have the chance."
Chu Lingyun said goodbye in a hurry and rushed to Hangzhou Station with Zhu Qing and Shen Hanwen. Zhu Qing had been in the police academy every day these days, and his men had nothing to do but patrol.
He himself attended classes every day and was very interested in them.
Inside Hangzhou Station, Cai Zhengru was even more shocked than Chu Lingyun after receiving the telegram.
Secretary Qi personally sent him a telegram and reminded him that the director was extremely furious this time. He had walked into the trap and must assist Chu Lingyun in handling the case.
At the same time, he made him believe in Chu Lingyun. If even Chu Lingyun couldn't handle this case well, no one in the Military Intelligence Department could do it.
This was the opportunity he had fought for Cai Zhengru. Only after the case was solved would he have the chance to continue maneuvering and help him keep his position as stationmaster.
Secretary Qi specifically told Cai Zhengru not to act on impulse, to maintain a positive attitude, and to assist Chu Lingyun in solving the case.
Before leaving, Chu Lingyun called Hangzhou Station and told them that he would be there soon.
Cai Zhengru did not dare to be negligent and personally brought people to wait at the gate. Chu Lingyun's rank was not as high as his, but the latter was an imperial envoy, and he was a criminal, so he did not dare to be negligent.
Cai Zhengru didn't know much about Chu Lingyun. He only knew that he was originally at Wuhan Station and was poached by He Nian from the Operations Department of the headquarters because of his outstanding performance.
He has made continuous achievements at the headquarters and has been promoted to major.
But that was all he knew. He had never paid attention to Chu Lingyun, and naturally had never read the case files. He had no idea how Chu Lingyun achieved his results.
Cai Zheng was stunned when he saw the cars coming one after another.
How could a team leader from headquarters, who had been in Hangzhou before, bring so many people with him? Could it be that solving the case was a facade, and the real purpose was to catch him?
Zhu Qing has a team, plus Shen Shanwen has ten people, and Chu Lingyun has about fifty people, which is indeed a large number.
"Who is Team Leader Chu?"
After waiting for everyone on the bus to get off, Cai Zhengru walked forward and asked nervously.
"I'm Chu Lingyun, but are you Station Master Cai?"
Chu Lingyun walked over immediately. The director had given him considerable authority, but the other party was, after all, a webmaster, and was higher than him in both seniority and rank.
He can't act arrogantly just because he has power, as that would easily offend people.
"My name is Cai Ruru, welcome Team Leader Chu."
Cai Zhengru hurriedly clasped his fists, and Chu Lingyun returned a military salute to show his respect.
"Team Leader Chu, please."
Seeing that Chu Lingyun did not take any action, Cai Zhengru felt a little relieved and hurriedly invited Chu Lingyun and his group into the station.
Zhu Qing followed Chu Lingyun. Cai Zheng then realized that there were not just one team leader but two. He hurriedly became polite to Zhu Qing again.
"This is what happened. Brother Limin said you're great at solving cases, so I'm the only one who can help me this time. I'm a few years older than you, so I'm asking Brother Chu to help me this time."
After Cai Ruru finished explaining the situation, he clasped his fists again, and this time his words sounded sincere.
If the traitor is not caught this time, he will really be taken back to headquarters for trial.
"Stationmaster Cai is so polite. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with all my strength this time."
Finally figuring out what was going on, Chu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. There was only him and Zhu Qing here, so Cai Zheng completely put aside his pride and asked him for help.
"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If I can pass this test, you will be my brother for life and death."
Cai Ruzheng quickly replied that Secretary Qi asked him to behave properly, and he was being a little too serious now.
"Stationmaster Cai, you're too polite. Could you please let me see the detailed case file?"
Chu Lingyun nodded and said that the director had asked him to catch the traitor. He now understood why he was so anxious and did not let him return to Nanjing, but instead let him stay in Hangzhou to handle the case.
The Party Affairs Investigation Office just released a massacre, which made the director happy for several days.
If what happened at Hangzhou Station were to be revealed, Virgo's good mood would instantly disappear.
Cai Zhengru really disappointed the Director, as he failed to seize the opportunity given to him, so he was asked to come here to handle the case even though he was in Hangzhou. This was actually not to help the Hangzhou station, but to help the Director eliminate hidden dangers.
This task is very important.
I was a little anxious today and ended up making a mistake. Today's third chapter will not be counted as an additional update for monthly tickets. As compensation, Xiaoyu apologizes to my friends again.
