Chapter 12 Want a Case
In fact, even if Watanabe Ichiro changed his phone number, as long as he called Henry, Chu Lingyun would find out.
However, not changing the phone number exposed Yang Jian to Chu Lingyun's sight in advance, and he made arrangements in advance to keep an eye on him. This was Chu Lingyun's gain after Watanabe Ichiro's mistake.
"How do you know the time and place of their meeting?"
Chu Lingyun asked again, and Watanabe Ichiro raised his head slightly: "I have a dead mailbox, and they will pass the message to me through the dead mailbox."
Chu Lingyun frowned: "Don't you have a radio?"
If the radio and code book could be found from Watanabe Ichiro, the credit would be more than just doubled. Now Watanabe Ichiro only receives messages through the dead mailbox, which makes Chu Lingyun a little disappointed.
The so-called dead mailbox can be anywhere, such as a wall, under a chair, or even in a crack in the floor of a restaurant. As long as it is not easily noticed, only the intelligence officer knows the location of the dead mailbox and can take out and put new intelligence in.
"No, I'm an observer. Observers don't have radios, so they can only communicate through dead mail."
Ichiro Watanabe shook his head. The observer's identity is originally a secret one. He does not come into contact with intelligence or send or receive intelligence, so naturally he does not need a radio.
"Let's talk about Yang Jian."
Unable to find out the radio station's location, Chu Lingyun had no choice but to give up. Watanabe Ichiro shook his head again: "If you don't tell me, I don't even know his name. I only know his phone number. According to the requirements, I can only call him in an emergency and cannot have any contact with anyone else."
Watanabe Ichiro's understanding of Yang Jian is not as good as Chu Lingyun's, which makes Chu Lingyun very regretful.
Just then, Zhong Hui came back.
Zhong Hui had turned the place where Watanabe Ichiro rented upside down, but in the end he found nothing.
In fact, Chu Lingyun understood that since Watanabe Ichiro had confessed, he would not hide the fact that there was a radio station. His wish to seize the radio station from Watanabe Ichiro was completely ruined.
However, being able to catch him, catching this real Japanese spy, is a great achievement in itself. This is Chu Lingyun's achievement, and no one can take it away.
After having Watanabe Ichiro sign his confession, Chu Lingyun ended the interrogation.
"elder brother."
Behind him, Wang Jialiang looked like he was being scratched by a cat, his eyes full of impatience, and he couldn't help but yell at Wang Yuemin.
"Call the stationmaster."
Wang Yuemin said something unpleasantly, and Wang Jialiang immediately changed his address: "Stationmaster, can we talk alone?"
Wang Jialiang's voice was very low, but Wang Yuemin could guess what he was going to say with his toes. It was simply that he was jealous of Chu Lingyun's contribution.
"Come out and tell me."
After leaving the interrogation room, Wang Yuemin went directly to the interrogation team's office. It was quiet here and not as dark as the interrogation room.
"Stationmaster, this case originally belonged to me. Can Chu Lingyun return it to me?"
As soon as he entered the office, Wang Jialiang said anxiously.
Watanabe Ichiro confessed and his identity as a Japanese spy was confirmed. He could not take away the credit for arresting Watanabe Ichiro, but there was Yang Jian behind him, who was a bigger fish.
Catching him would be a huge achievement. With such an achievement right in front of him, it would be strange if Wang Jialiang could hold back.
He and Chu Lingyun have a good relationship, but it depends on what the matter is. When it comes to matters of mutual interest, or even matters concerning one's own future, anyone will fight for it and will never give up.
Wang Yuemin glared at him and scolded him, "What the hell are you thinking? This case was originally yours, so what did you do yesterday? How could you be fooled by such simple false information?"
Thinking of the twenty minutes when he was scolded by the director, Wang Yuemin became furious.
If his cousin had been more capable and had discovered that the business intelligence was fake yesterday, he wouldn't have been so passive and been scolded so badly.
"It was my mistake yesterday. I promise I won't do it again."
Wang Jialiang felt a little aggrieved. He wasn't the one who was deceived yesterday, but you were deceived too. It was you who ordered the release of the two Japanese spies, not me.
But he didn't dare to say these words directly to Wang Yuemin, so he could only make promises repeatedly.
"Don't even think about the case anymore. I noticed something was wrong yesterday and asked Ling Yun to take over. Fortunately, I had the foresight to not be as stupid as you and completely give up on the case."
Wang Yuemin shook his head. How could he not know what his cousin was thinking?
If this case was in the hands of someone else, perhaps he would really be shameless and help Wang Jialiang get the case back. After all, Wang Jialiang also had his reasons, as the case did belong to him before.
But the person in charge of the case now is Chu Lingyun, who is his confidant trained by himself and the subordinate he will use in the future. He is his right-hand man, not anyone else.
Everyone is a member of the same family, so it is difficult for him to favor anyone.
As for his so-called foresight, it was purely a fig leaf for himself. He really gave up on this case. If it were someone else, he would not even agree to continue investigating.
Only Chu Lingyun, whom he regarded as his confidant, could not be refused, so he reluctantly agreed and also advised Chu Lingyun not to spend too much energy on this case.
Unexpectedly, he found a way out.
Seeing Wang Yuemin's refusal, Wang Jialiang's eyes rolled as he came up with a new idea: "Brother, if the case can't be returned to me, can we get our intelligence team involved? Investigating cases is the intelligence team's forte. If the action team does it alone, there might be mistakes."
Judging from Wang Yuemin's attitude, the case was doomed to fail, but he was unwilling to watch Chu Lingyun make a contribution.
Even if they can't take back the initiative in the case, it's okay to join in. If they make a contribution, their intelligence team will also receive credit.
Sure enough, his words made Wang Yuemin hesitate.
The actions of the action team were naturally impeccable, and Wang Yuemin had great confidence in their abilities, but Wang Jialiang was also right, the intelligence team was more capable of gathering intelligence and tracking down spies.
Besides, Chu Lingyun is only the captain of the third team, with only fourteen people under him. Now there are three people who want to investigate at the same time. Chu Lingyun is short of manpower and may be unable to cope with it.
This is a very important case. It is the key to changing his image in Virgo's mind. There must not be any mistakes.
"I'll talk to Ling Yun first, but you have to be strong. This can only happen once, and it won't happen again."
Wang Yuemin glared at Wang Jialiang again, and Wang Jialiang grinned. It was good that he could participate, but it was a pity that he could not lead the case. The greatest credit would still belong to Chu Lingyun in the future.
He had no choice. It was because he gave up the case so easily yesterday that he was in such a passive position now.
"Thank you, Station Master. I promise there won't be any mistakes this time."
Wang Jialiang made the assurance again, Wang Yuemin shook his head, left the interrogation team's office, and went to discuss with Chu Lingyun.
In the Military Intelligence Department, whoever is in charge of the case is always responsible, and no one else can interfere, otherwise it would be a taboo. However, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. When encountering a major achievement, few people can remain calm and not have any thoughts.
There was nothing wrong with Wang Jialiang's approach. Not to mention him, at the headquarters, several of Director's trusted subordinates would sometimes compete for credit, which gave Director a headache.
