Chapter 69 Finding the Mailbox
Drinking tea requires going to the toilet. If the dead mailbox is placed in the toilet, it is not only safe but also highly concealed.
This was Chu Lingyun's idea after putting himself in Du Juan's shoes. If he were Du Juan, the most appropriate place to place a dead mailbox in the teahouse would be the toilet, where no one would suspect anything.
"Yes, Team Leader."
Loach walked out immediately. The toilet was a smelly and dirty place, but Loach had no complaints. If he could really find the dead mailbox of Dujuan's intelligence agent, it would be a great achievement.
If a Japanese spy is caught through this dead mailbox, it would be a huge achievement.
"Boss Zhang, do you know Teacher Xia?"
After Loach left, Chu Lingyun continued to question Zhang Hua. Dujuan often came to this teahouse. Apart from school teachers and neighbors, the people who had the most contact with Dujuan were the people in the teahouse.
"I don't know him. I just know he's a teacher and a very nice person."
Zhang Hua immediately shook his head. His teahouse had so many customers that it was true that he knew many of them, but when it came to understanding them, how many of them could he really know?
"Have you heard anything about Teacher Xia?" Chu Lingyun did not give up and kept asking.
This time, Zhang Hua hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "No."
Chu Lingyun had been paying attention to his expression. His hesitation and flickering eyes all showed that he was lying.
Picking up the Browning pistol on the table, Chu Lingyun loaded the bullet with a click, and slowly turned the muzzle, pointing it directly at Zhang Hua's head.
"Think it over carefully. If you lie to me, the bullet inside will pierce your head."
When dealing with these ordinary people, Chu Lingyun usually speaks kindly and is unwilling to threaten them. After all, he is the soul leader of the future generation, and there is still the most basic respect between people.
But it was different if Zhang Hua lied. Lying was equivalent to helping the Japanese, which was beyond Chu Lingyun's bottom line.
"Uncle, uncle, please be careful, don't fire it accidentally."
Looking at the pitch-black muzzle of the gun, Zhang Hua immediately panicked and waved his hands repeatedly. He had no idea that the safety of the gun in Chu Lingyun's hand was not on.
"I said, I did hear about a thing about Teacher Xia. It was told by a clerk in my shop. About a year ago, I heard the clerk say that one night he came home very late and saw Teacher Xia coming out of Widow Niu's house. He sighed and said, 'How could such a nice person like Teacher Xia fall for Widow Niu?'
Chu Lingyun was delighted. Anyone who had contact with Du Juan would be a suspect, not to mention going to someone else's home late at night.
"Who is the cow widow?"
"There was a widow who used to live nearby. She was not very good-looking, but she moved away a year ago." Zhang Hua did not dare to hide anything this time and spoke honestly.
"Is your fellow here?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go call him right away."
With Chu Lingyun pointing a gun at him, Zhang Hua no longer dared to hide anything and took the initiative to help call for help.
After a while, Chu Lingyun found out what had happened.
Widow Niu moved here five years ago. She was about forty years old, tall and strong, and not very good-looking. Although she was a widow, no one had any intention of taking advantage of her.
This time point is the same as the time when Dujuan came here. There is a high possibility that there is a deep connection between these two people, and it is even possible that this widow Niu is a Japanese spy.
Teacher Xia is not ugly, has a decent job and good conditions. Many people wanted to introduce him to girls, but he refused. It was not until this guy ran into Teacher Xia coming out of Widow Niu's house that he found out that Teacher Xia already had a lover.
He said Widow Niu was not worthy of Teacher Xia.
The reason why Zhang Hua didn't say anything just now was because he didn't know Chu Lingyun's identity, nor did he know that Teacher Xia was a Japanese agent. He didn't want to talk about others behind their backs.
What surprised them was that after the shop assistant ran into Teacher Xia at Widow Niu's place, Widow Niu moved away. No one knew where she moved to, and no one had ever seen her since.
After asking about the situation, Chu Lingyun concluded that there must be something wrong with Widow Niu, otherwise why would she move away as soon as she was caught? This was a way for Du Juan to protect her.
"Team leader, we found it. There really is a dead letter box in the restroom. This was found inside the dead letter box."
Just as I was thinking about it, Loach hurried back with a face full of joy.
He was holding a piece of paper in his hand with words written on it, but they were all numbers. These Japanese spies were very careful and even the information in the dead mailbox was coded.
"Great, you've done something great again, Loach. Take me to see it."
Chu Lingyun stood up suddenly and said happily that when the case was at a dead end, he received two pieces of good news in succession, one was a dead mailbox, and the other was the cow widow.
With these two new clues, if we continue the investigation, the possibility of catching the Japanese spy will be greatly increased.
The toilet in the teahouse is not that dirty, but it definitely doesn't smell good. The location of this dead mailbox is very hidden. It is inside the beam above. There is a hole dug on it and there is a lid covering it.
If it weren't for Loach's carefulness, it would be difficult to discover the existence of this dead mailbox.
"Loach, put the note back as it was. You open a secret hole next to it to keep watch. Now bring someone to monitor this dead mailbox 24 hours a day. Make sure you keep a close eye on it."
"Don't worry, Team Leader. I'll be watching over it myself. No matter who touches this dead mailbox, they won't escape my sight."
Loach stood up and saluted. He was the one who found the dead mailbox. If he could catch someone else, together with Abe Hanako, his contribution would be the greatest.
Promotion and wealth are just around the corner.
Leaving Loach and his men behind, Chu Lingyun took the rest of the people and headed straight to the Southwest Branch of the Police Station.
When they arrived at the police station, Chu Lingyun immediately called Wang Sheng over. Wang Sheng was a patrolman from the Southwest Police Station. Qian Cang Xiaoye's hiding place was the loach he reported to them.
It was he who helped trick Masao Aihara, a Japanese spy undercover in the police station, back into the bureau, where he was captured by Chu Lingyun.
Wang Sheng is very smart and a good person. When Chu Lingyun wanted to find Widow Niu this time, he thought of him first.
Chu Lingyun has a lot of subordinates, but when it comes to finding people, they are definitely not as professional as these police officers who hang out on the streets all day. Widow Niu is single and a strong woman. Finding someone like her is much better than finding a single man.
"Wang Sheng, I have a task for you. Help me find someone. There will be a big reward if you find him."
Chu Lingyun looked at Wang Sheng and said with a smile.
"Look at what you said. It's my blessing to be able to help the commander. Tell me, who should I look for? As long as he is here, I will definitely find him for you."
Wang Sheng made the promise happily, and Chu Lingyun didn't waste any words and told him all the characteristics of the widow Niu.
"She might have changed her name now, so don't just look for people with the last name Niu. Find everyone who fits the description. I'll send someone over to verify their identities."
Chu Lingyun gave another instruction: if Widow Niu was really a Japanese spy, she would definitely not use her original name after moving.
But her age and appearance cannot be changed. Many neighbors have seen her where she lived before. After screening all those who meet the requirements, they can just find someone to identify her.
