Chapter 66 Everyone Knows
Hongmen Street is also in the south of the city, not far from Taiping Lane.
The school where Xia Boyuan works is on the other side, very close. He walks to work every day, so he will pass by Taiping Lane. If there are any marks left here, they will not escape his eyes.
Xia Boyuan's home is not complicated. It has its own door and yard, and he lives alone. According to his neighbors, Teacher Xia is a very nice person. If the children of the neighborhood study in his school, he will take care of them.
Xia Boyuan has lived here for five years. He is usually alone and only returns to his hometown occasionally during the winter and summer vacations.
According to his neighbors, his hometown is in Shandong.
The house is very clean, with a bedroom and a study. There are bookshelves in the study with many books, which fits the image of an intellectual.
If this person had not been discovered by Chu Lingyun, no one who saw him would have thought that he was a spy disguised as a Japanese lurking in the city.
"Team leader, nothing was found."
After searching for a while, Zhong Hui came over to report. Chu Lingyun frowned and went into the room to search personally.
Xia Boyuan is Dujuan. Although Abe Hanako is dead, she did communicate with him. If she was not Dujuan, Abe Hanako would not have said so much to him.
He is the leader of the Dujuan team. His status and position are different from those of ordinary spies. Such a person must have a radio. The reason why Chu Lingyun rushed to search was precisely for the radio and the code book.
Du Juan is dead, and this is his mistake at work. If he still can't find the radio and the code book, he won't be able to report to Wang Yuemin.
"Xia Boyuan is no ordinary agent. Keep searching. Even if we have to dig deep, we will find the radio and the code book."
Chu Lingyun rarely shouted loudly. Zhong Hui and others did not dare to be lazy and immediately started searching carefully again. They dug up all the places that could be dug and smashed the places that could not be dug.
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
Not long after Chu Lingyun brought back the two bodies, many people in the station heard that Chu Lingyun had failed in his mission today. Not only did he fail to catch anyone, but he also lost the Japanese spy he had captured before.
In Wang Yuemin's office, Wang Jialiang knocked on the door and went in quickly.
"Brother, what's going on with Ling Yun? I heard he seemed to have suffered a great loss."
Wang Jialiang asked in a low voice. He had a forced smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was gloating.
It was really because Chu Lingyun was too dazzling during this period. He arrested Japanese spies one after another, found the radio code book, and discovered the spies lurking inside.
Originally, these were the work of the intelligence team, but Chu Lingyun was so capable that he completely suppressed the intelligence team.
Chu Lingyun had helped Wang Jialiang before, so he definitely wouldn't say that in front of Chu Lingyun. He still had to save face. If he really did that, he would be an ungrateful villain.
However, when he saw Chu Lingyun make a mistake, he couldn't control the joy in his heart.
"You're well-informed. You already know things I don't. Tell me, what else in our station do you not know?"
Wang Yuemin glanced at him and said lightly, and Wang Jialiang's smile immediately disappeared.
This is not a compliment to him, it is obvious that he has some opinions about him. If Wang Jialiang can't hear it, then he is a fool.
"Brother, I just want to ask if it's true. He actually sent the captured Japanese spy to the French Concession to meet with his superiors. This is a very risky behavior. That's the French Concession. I heard that they even used guns. Isn't this going to cause trouble for you?"
"I agreed to the French Concession's actions. Are you blaming me?"
Wang Yuemin glared at him fiercely. Wang Jialiang shook his head repeatedly and dared not say anything.
The French Concession Operation was such a big thing that it was impossible for Chu Lingyun not to report it to him. He did get his consent. Now that something like this had happened, it was not what Wang Yuemin wanted to see.
Fortunately, Chu Lingyun brought everyone back, and no one was caught by the people in the French Concession. This gave them a lot of room to ease the situation, but a verbal battle would be inevitable.
"Is this all you came to see me about?"
Seeing that Wang Jialiang didn't say anything, Wang Yuemin became even more unhappy. Chu Lingyun had not come to report to him yet, and he didn't know the details, but he already knew that the operation was not going smoothly. Not only was the person not caught, but Abe Hanako was also killed.
"I just came to ask, I'll be leaving now."
Wang Jialiang retreated dejectedly, and Wang Yuemin sighed. He had no opinion about Chu Lingyun, but was a little disappointed.
I thought I could catch the cuckoo and achieve new success, but I ended up with nothing.
At No. 53 Hongmen Street, Zhong Hui and a dozen of his men searched for four hours, digging up everything they could and searching every possible place, but they found nothing.
Chu Lingyun even flipped through the books on the bookshelf. They were all normal books, some of which were teaching books, and some were history books and literary masterpieces. There was nothing unusual about them.
"Team Leader, there's really nothing."
Zhong Hui came to report again. Chu Lingyun stood up and ordered Zhong Hui, "If you can't find it, forget it. Seal off this place and withdraw."
Chu Lingyun can't stay here all the time. There are still many things waiting for him to deal with at the station, such as the interrogation results of Li Zheng and Old Li, the report to the stationmaster, etc.
"yes."
Zhong Hui took the order, and Chu Lingyun returned to the station and went straight to the interrogation room. Zhu Zhiqing and Shen Hanwen were waiting for him at the door.
The day after Gao Yi was arrested, Zhu Zhiqing and others were released. It was confirmed that they had not betrayed the station's actions, so there was no need to lock them all up.
But there was one exception, and that was Jin Ming, who did not mention that Gao Yi had had any private contact with Chishima Keiko.
Jin Ming was tortured and confessed everything.
He was not Gao Yi's accomplice, and had nothing to do with the Japanese spy. The reason he concealed it was purely because he was worried that he would be held responsible if he told others about it. At that time, he had no idea that Gao Yi was a traitor.
If he knew, he would never dare to hide anything.
It was later confirmed that what he said was true, but he could not be forgiven for making such a big mistake. He is still in prison. As for when he will be released, it depends on his luck.
"Team leader." Seeing Chu Lingyun, Shen Hanwen hurried forward.
"What happened?" Chu Lingyun asked directly without any courtesy.
"Yes, I have admitted everything."
Shen Hanwen immediately replied that Li Zheng and Old Li were not spies, but were simply bribed people. It was Du Juan who bribed Li Zheng, and Old Li was bribed by Li Zheng.
Old Li was a mute and could not speak, so it was quite difficult to interrogate him. Fortunately, he could read, so we asked him to write down everything he knew.
"Where's the confession?"
Chu Lingyun stretched out his hand, and Shen Hanwen immediately handed a dozen papers in his hand to Chu Lingyun. Chu Lingyun quickly walked into the interrogation team office with the confession, found a seat, sat down and read it carefully.
