Chapter 79 I Don't Want Him to Live
Even Chu Lingyun's capable subordinates may not receive any substantial rewards this time.
After all, they have just been promoted and the interval is too short, but no matter what, these are all their merits and will be recorded in their merit books. They will naturally be promoted when the time comes.
After writing the closing report, Chu Lingyun opened the box.
There were sixty gold bars. Chu Lingyun kept forty of them, put the other twenty in a box, and went to Wang Yuemin's office with the case closing report.
"Stationmaster, the case closing report has been written."
Wang Yuemin was in the office. Everything was going well for Chu Lingyun, but Wang Jialiang was a cause for concern.
Wang Jialiang was jealous of Chu Lingyun and was eager to make a contribution, so he actually went to the Japanese concession to spy on him. He could have gone there, and if he really found the Japanese spy, it would be a credit, but his man was captured, which put Wang Yuemin in a very passive position.
Because of this incident, Wang Jialiang was severely scolded by him.
"Leave it there."
Wang Yuemin rubbed his head. Chu Lingyun still made him feel at ease. He didn't need to ask anything. Japanese spies were captured one after another, and he could earn credit without doing anything.
"Stationmaster, I'd appreciate your acceptance of some local specialties."
Chu Lingyun put the box on the table, and a smile immediately appeared on Wang Yuemin's face.
"Leave it all there. You'll be fine for now after this case is over. Take a good rest for a few days. You've been busy lately, so don't overwork yourself."
Chu Lingyun has indeed been very busy during this period of time.
Since the arrest of Qian Cang Xiaoye, he has almost never stopped. He has arrested so many Japanese spies. Chu Lingyun was responsible for the interrogation of each spy, the subsequent work arrangements, etc.
"Yes, Station Master, I'll go back first."
Chu Lingyun said goodbye and left. Wang Yuemin opened the box and the smile on his face became even wider.
This time when Secretary Qi came, he gave him a gift of five gold bars, but he didn't expect Chu Lingyun to give him more, a total of twenty.
In this way, not only did he not lose money, but he made a net profit of fifteen.
He is worry-free, constantly makes contributions, and can help him make money. It is hard to find such a good subordinate even with a lantern.
After returning to his residence, Chu Lingyun put all the gold bars into two boxes.
He now has a total of 130 gold bars and more than 20,000 French francs. He can no longer keep this money in the dormitory and must find a proper place to store it as soon as possible.
All the gold bars filled two boxes, and Chu Lingyun drove out with the boxes.
The gold bars are good, but they are too heavy and difficult to carry. Chu Lingyun plans to go to the bank to exchange all the gold bars and legal tender into US dollars.
Fiat currency will inevitably depreciate in the future, but the US dollar will not. Keeping US dollars is easy to carry and can maintain its value.
At this time, the exchange rate of the US dollar to gold was US$35 per ounce, and one ounce weighed about 28.5 grams.
One hundred and thirty ten-liang gold bars were exchanged for nearly fifty thousand US dollars, and twenty thousand French francs were exchanged for more than six thousand US dollars. After the exchange was completed at the bank, all the gold and most of the French francs in Chu Lingyun's hands were converted into US dollars.
A total of more than 50,000 US dollars may not sound like a lot, but the purchasing power of the US dollar was very strong during this period, and 50,000 US dollars was not a small amount.
It is much easier to carry US dollars, and you can store this money anywhere.
When we returned to the station, it was no longer as busy as usual. All the team members were chatting in the office. It had been a very busy period, having caught so many Japanese spies. Now was a rare time to relax.
"Team leader, Huo Xiao is clamoring to see you."
Not long after work started in the afternoon, Loach came running over. It was Huo Xiao again. Last time, he asked Zhu Zhiqing to pass on a message to him, but this time he had the power to find Loach.
"not see."
Chu Lingyun didn't like people like Huo Xiao and rejected Niu Qiu outright.
"Team Leader, it doesn't matter whether you meet him or not. Why don't you hand him over to me and I'll negotiate with him."
Loach said with a smile that Huo Xiao was a big fat fish, but he paid five gold bars just to let Loach help him pass on a message.
"You go to negotiate?" Chu Lingyun raised his head.
"Yes, leave it to me. I can make him give back all the money he earned unscrupulously over the years."
Loach spoke quickly, while Chu Lingyun was thinking. He was unwilling to let Huo Xiao go, as releasing him would cause more people to suffer.
But he understood that there was never a shortage of people like Huo Xiao in this era, and killing just one Huo Xiao was nothing.
But since Huo Xiao fell into his hands, he naturally could not remain indifferent and let such a scum go, otherwise he would not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.
"I don't want him to live."
After a while, Chu Lingyun shook his head. He wanted the money, but he absolutely could not let go of Huo Xiao.
This time we took the opportunity to catch a Japanese spy and brought him back. If we let him go, there would never be such a good opportunity again.
He had lived with Abe Hanako for a long time and had helped Abe Hanako to make an appointment with Zhang Zhiliang. As long as Chu Lingyun was willing, he could execute him at any time.
"It's not that easy to kill him. Don't worry, Team Leader. I can make him spit out the money and still keep him alive."
Loach chuckled. He had the most dirty tricks and plenty of ways to deal with these gangsters.
Chu Lingyun stared at Niu Qiu, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. You must do it properly."
"Don't worry, there won't be any mistakes."
Loach happily accepted the order and left. For him, there were only two things that excited him the most. One was promotion, and the other was to make more contributions and be promoted to a higher position.
The second is to make money.
Huo Xiao was a fat sheep; all the traitors caught before couldn't compare to him. Previously, Niu Qiu was busy with the case and had no time to take action against Huo Xiao. But now that he had the time, and with Chu Lingyun's consent, he was bound to get the hell out of Huo Xiao.
After handing Huo Xiao over to Loach, Chu Lingyun stopped thinking about this matter.
The case of the Dujuan team has been closed and there is no follow-up work to be done. However, there are still some tails left in the case of Qian Cang Xiao Ye and others.
The military intelligence that Qian Cang Xiaoye found out involved a quartermaster Zhou Lin and Zheng Zhizhong, the general manager of Bei Xi Foreign Company in the French Concession.
Zhou Lin had been arrested long ago and was awaiting trial by a military court, but Zheng Zhizhong was still fine, still working as his Chinese manager and living a happy life.
Compared with Zhou Lin, Zheng Zhizhong has bigger problems. He clearly knows Qian Cang Xiaoye's identity, but still provides him with military intelligence. He is absolutely a traitor.
But he worked in the French Concession, which was not a place where the Military Intelligence Department could intervene, so it was not easy to deal with him.
After a while, Chu Lingyun put away the documents and went to Wang Yuemin's office.
Let Wang Yuemin decide how to deal with Zheng Zhizhong.
"That's all? It's just Zheng Zhizhong. Kill him. Send a skilled fighter to follow him secretly. Once he leaves the French Concession, take action directly. Just don't let anyone know."
After listening to Chu Lingyun's report, Wang Yuemin didn't take Zheng Zhizhong seriously at all.
It is difficult to deal with him in the French Concession, but it is not necessary to interrogate such a person. As long as it can be proved that he has committed a serious mistake, sanctions will be imposed.
"Yes, Station Master, I will arrange for the assassination right away."
Chu Lingyun stood up straight and saluted. The action team had no shortage of skilled personnel, and assassinating an ordinary person was a piece of cake.
