Chapter 25 Great Contribution
Shen Hanwen stepped forward and searched the box containing the radio carefully, even using a knife to pick open any places where there might be interlayers, but in the end he did not find the code book.
"Where is the code book?"
The female spy was brought over. In response to Chu Lingyun's question, she snorted coldly, turned her head away, and said nothing.
"Search everything carefully. The code book must be there."
Chu Lingyun did not continue the interrogation and directly ordered a search. If there is a radio, there will basically be a code book, otherwise the radio is just a decoration. A radio that cannot communicate is worse than not having it.
Some people can memorize the entire code book, but they are a minority. The code book is not that easy to memorize. Not only do you have to memorize the content, but you also have to remember the number and order of words on each page.
"yes."
All team members took the order and conducted a carpet search of the entire house, including the yard, leaving no gaps untouched.
"Lingyun, congratulations."
Wang Jialiang congratulated Chu Lingyun sourly. Originally, there was an accident in this case and all the spies escaped, but he didn't expect that Chu Lingyun actually had a way to find the escaped spies.
Moreover, this time we caught a Japanese spy with a radio, and there is a great possibility of finding the code book. This is a great achievement.
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, "Thank you, Team Leader Wang. This time, thanks to your preliminary investigation, you will definitely be mentioned when the stationmaster commends us."
After hearing what Chu Lingyun said, Wang Jialiang's mood immediately improved a lot.
Chu Lingyun was right. It was Chu Lingyun and his team who captured the man and seized the radio, but the case was initially investigated by their intelligence team. It was because of Qian Cang and Xiaoye that everything that happened afterwards happened.
The stationmaster will not ignore these when commending the merits.
"Don't look at Lingyun as younger than you, he is much more magnanimous than you. Learn more from Lingyun."
Wang Yuemin glared at Wang Jialiang. Although he was scolding him, his tone was gentle and he was not angry.
"Yes, Station Master."
Wang Jialiang grinned. After Wang Yuemin said this, he understood that his cousin was taking advantage of the situation to help him get credit.
Although it was not the biggest contribution, he was not removed from the case, so he was satisfied that he could get some credit. After all, the whole case was the credit of Chu Lingyun and had little to do with him.
Chu Lingyun was willing to share the credit with Wang Jialiang, and Wang Yuemin was very satisfied.
He forced the appointment of Wang Jialiang as the head of the intelligence team, and many people had objections. Giving Wang Jialiang more credit could reduce gossip and prove that his appointment was correct.
Wang Jialiang was originally very envious of Chu Lingyun, but now that Chu Lingyun was so magnanimous, he felt a little embarrassed about his previous little thoughts.
"Captain, the code book has been found."
Shen Hanwen suddenly shouted in the yard, and Chu Lingyun and Wang Yuemin walked out at the same time and came out together.
Shen Hanwen stood there, holding the code book in one hand and a grenade in the other, his forehead covered with sweat.
"The Japanese spies were really cunning. They didn't set any traps on the radio, but they did on the code book. Fortunately, Captain, you gave us instructions in advance, and we discovered the grenade in time, which allowed us to escape with our lives."
Shen Hanwen spoke quickly. When he found the secret compartment in the kitchen, he still remembered Chu Lingyun's previous instructions and checked it first.
This examination made him break out in a cold sweat.
There was also a grenade in the box containing the code book. If he opened the box rashly without knowing it, the grenade would explode directly. He was the first person to discover the code book. Once the grenade exploded, he would be killed.
"Hanwen, well done, you're the first to do the work this time."
Chu Lingyun was also a little scared, but more excited. The code book was found. This was the first Japanese spy code book seized by their entire military intelligence department.
He was very clear about the meaning of this code book.
It can be said that the code book played a much greater role than the radio. His hard work in the past few days was not in vain, and he finally got the biggest reward.
"Quick, let me see."
Wang Yuemin looked at the code book with burning eyes. It was no secret that the headquarters wanted the Japanese spy's code book, and each station had received orders to find the Japanese spy's code book as soon as possible.
There was no result at other stations yet, but he finally got the first prize at Wuhan station.
This achievement will not only change the director's impression of him and wash away the previous stain, but also make him the most dazzling person in the entire Military Intelligence Department.
Shen Hanwen respectfully handed the code book in his hand to Wang Yuemin.
Wang Jialiang poked his head out and looked at the booklet in Wang Yuemin's hand with envy. He wished that his intelligence team had found this code book. He could only secretly curse his people for being so incompetent.
In this operation, the entire action team and their intelligence team were dispatched. When searching for the code book, everyone worked together, but Chu Lingyun's people ended up taking the credit.
He could only sigh that Chu Lingyun was not only capable, but also really lucky.
"Stationmaster, the code book has been found. Let's go back first."
Chu Lingyun whispered to Wang Yuemin that the radio and the code book were found, which was indeed a great joy, but the case was not over yet and the two Japanese spies had not been interrogated yet.
Interrogating them, prying open their mouths, and catching more Japanese spies are what Chu Lingyun is most concerned about at the moment.
"Yes, yes, go back, go back first."
Wang Yuemin was a little too happy. After being reminded by Chu Lingyun, he remembered that the operation had ended and there was no need for everyone to stay here.
The group escorted the woman back to the Military Intelligence Department. The male Japanese spy was shot and sent to the hospital. They had to ask the doctor before they could interrogate him.
After returning to the Military Intelligence Department, Wang Yuemin immediately had someone take a photo of the code book and make a backup copy. He even personally locked the original code book in the safe in his office. This was the best evidence of their great achievement and must not be lost.
Chu Lingyun went to the interrogation room and immediately interrogated the female Japanese spy.
“Pah.”
The sound of whips hitting the body continued to be heard in the interrogation room. The performance of the female Japanese spy was a little beyond Chu Lingyun's expectations. She was beaten so hard that she didn't even scream, and only let out a few muffled groans when she couldn't bear it anymore.
This is definitely a professionally trained veteran agent.
"Ling Yun, she hasn't spoken yet?"
Half an hour later, Wang Yuemin also came to the interrogation room. The female spy had completely changed. Her body was covered in blood, her hair was wet, and many drops of water were dripping down.
"Not yet, Station Master, shall we proceed with the electrocution?"
Chu Lingyun shook his head. The more the female Japanese spy could endure punishment, the more important she was. The sooner she confessed, the sooner valuable information could be obtained.
A lot of intelligence is time-sensitive, and Chu Lingyun cannot guarantee when the enemy will know they have been captured, so the sooner the confession is obtained, the more valuable the intelligence will be.
