Chapter 62 Delivering the Message
It was indeed a bit risky for Chu Lingyun to ask Abe Huazi to make the contact, but two days had already passed. If counted from the time when Abe Huazi and Huo Xiao were arrested, three days had passed.
The longer time passes, the easier it will be for the other party to discover that Abe Hanako has been arrested.
Now there is no harvest from secret investigation, and there is no discovery from watching the mailbox. The only thing to do is to find a way to lure Dujuan out.
"Team Leader, the mail has all arrived at the sorting room. Only Old Li is here today, and he's sorting all the mail."
After a while, a team member came in to report. According to Chu Lingyun's requirements, the movements of Old Li and Li Zheng had to be reported to him every ten minutes.
If they could find Du Juan directly before the meeting through this letter, everyone would be happy, but Chu Lingyun did not have much hope for this.
Abe Hanako is an official member of the Dujuan team, but she doesn't even know what Dujuan looks like. It is basically impossible for Li Zheng and Old Li to catch Dujuan.
Not having hope does not mean doing nothing. If Chu Lingyun wants to find out how Du Juan was able to confirm that the letter was sent by Abe Hanako from the post office, he must keep an eye on Old Li.
"Old Li is still sorting and hasn't noticed anything unusual." Ten minutes later, his subordinates came to report again.
Loach has been waiting for orders beside Chu Lingyun. Shen Hanwen and Zhong Hui are also there. This time, in order to investigate Du Juan, Chu Lingyun brought out all the good players in his team.
The report was given every ten minutes, and it was not until more than an hour later that the content of the report changed.
"Team leader, Old Li has finished sorting. He didn't go back to his dormitory as usual, but walked out alone."
This report gave Chu Lingyun a shock.
In the past, Old Li had nothing to do after sorting the letters, and would basically go back to his residence to rest. He didn't have many friends unless Li Zheng took the initiative to find him.
As soon as Abe Hanako's letter was sent this time, his behavior immediately became different from usual. It can be confirmed that there is definitely a serious problem with Old Li.
"Follow him and remember everything he does, even if it's just spitting, or stopping, or looking in one direction. Report it to me."
Chu Lingyun gave a decisive order, without knowing how Old Li would notify Du Juan, that every move of his must be noticed.
"Old Li didn't stop on the way and went straight to Li Zheng's house."
Not long after, a new report came in, and Old Li actually went to find Li Zheng?
Loach and others looked at Chu Lingyun, but Chu Lingyun closed his eyes, his heart churning rapidly.
Old Li and Li Zheng are both ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to notice the surveillance by professionals like them. Chu Lingyun originally selected 30 experts trained by the headquarters, and now they are responsible for the surveillance.
When Old Li found the letter sent by Abe Hanako, he did not stop and did not make any abnormal movements. He went straight to find Li Zheng. It is very likely that Li Zheng is the link between him and Du Juan.
In this case, the direction of investigation he had previously formulated was correct. Both Old Li and Li Zheng had huge problems.
"Keep watching. Li Zheng and Old Li will have two more people follow them. Take turns watching them. Remember all their movements. Don't let them detect you."
Chu Lingyun is not short of manpower now. He is the deputy leader of the action team. Theoretically speaking, he can command the remaining 158 people in the entire action team of 160 people except the leader and himself.
However, this case does not require so many people. The fifty or so people directly under him are enough.
Adding four people means there will only be eight people to keep watch.
"Team leader, Old Li met Li Zheng and gestured for a while. Li Zheng then stuffed some money into Old Li's pocket. Old Li has already left, and it seems he's heading back to the post office."
A new report came in soon. Old Li seemed to have told Li Zheng something, and Li Zheng returned his money.
This is something that has never happened before. After Abe Hanako's letter was sent out, such a thing happened. Not only Chu Lingyun, but also Niu Qiu, Shen Hanwen and Zhong Hui were all very excited at this moment.
It was like a maze. They couldn't see clearly before, but now they have found the right path and are getting closer and closer to the exit.
There is now great hope of finding out the truth and finding Dujuan.
"Li Zheng went out. He was sneaky and kept looking back."
Not long after, the team members came to report again. Shen Hanwen was a little anxious. He glanced at Chu Lingyun and couldn't help but said, "Team leader, how about I keep an eye on Li Zheng myself? He must have gone to tip off the team."
"That's fine. You have to be careful and never let him find out."
Chu Lingyun thought about it and then nodded. When it comes to stalking ability, Shen Hanwen is the best, so it would be safer to let him go.
"Don't worry, Team Leader."
Shen Hanwen responded and ran out hurriedly. Chu Lingyun did not continue to wait opposite the post office. He got into the car with his men and followed from a distance, ready to provide support at any time.
"Old Li returned to his residence and didn't go out again."
"Li Zheng went to the south of the city. He didn't take a rickshaw, he just walked alone."
"Li Zheng arrived at Taiping Lane. It was dark and there were few people there. Only Captain Shen followed him secretly. No one else dared to go there."
Reports about Old Li and Li Zheng were continuously transmitted to Chu Lingyun. Everyone was very nervous. They didn't know what Li Zheng was doing outside. Was he going to meet someone, or did he have his own dead mailbox to pass on information, or was he just going out for a stroll.
Chu Lingyun waited patiently and did not dare to make any unusual movements.
"Captain Shen said that Li Zheng stopped and drew something at the entrance of No. 109 Taiping Lane, then returned the same way."
When the latest report came, Chu Lingyun's eyes tightened suddenly.
It was number 109 again. At this moment, Chu Lingyun seemed to understand something. Li Zheng was indeed delivering information, but he had not had any contact or meeting with Du Juan. He left a secret sign at the door of number 109, Taiping Lane. As long as Du Juan saw this secret sign, she would know that someone had contacted him urgently.
No. 109 Huayuan Road and No. 109 Taiping Lane, these two No. 109s must have some connection.
The most likely possibility is that Du Juan was able to understand through the number 109 that it was Abe Hanako who was contacting him urgently, and not anyone else.
If Chu Lingyun guessed correctly, Du Juan's emergency contact method was not only used by one person, but it was very likely that his other team members also used this method for emergency contact, but the addresses to which they sent the letters were different.
"Zhong Hui, go to the General Affairs Office right away and get two cameras. Tomorrow morning, guard the intersections on both sides of Taiping Lane. Take pictures of everyone who passes by there throughout the morning. Don't miss a single one."
"Loach, you have to work harder tonight. Bring your men to guard Taiping Lane. Follow anyone who passes by and find out their identity and address."
"Shao Yuancheng, take your men and go meet up with your captain immediately. Find out which houses in Taiping Lane can directly see the entrance of No. 109 without leaving home. Make sure to investigate the residents of these houses thoroughly."
Chu Lingyun gave orders one after another, and everything happened as Chu Lingyun expected. As expected, Li Zheng did not meet with Du Juan, but left a signal.
The third update, more updates on Monday.
