Spy Shadow

Chapter 130 I really didn’t expect it

Chu Lingyun walked slowly, carefully admiring the road scenery on both sides.

In fact, there is nothing to see. This is a small street with ordinary shops on both sides. Many people come in and out, and some people have happy smiles on their faces.

These people would not have thought that just one year later, the flames of war would cover this land, including the city in front of them, and countless lives would be devastated. Most of the 40 million compatriots would be plunged into dire straits.

Chu Lingyun is just a small person. He cannot change the general trend, but within his own ability, he will try his best to attack the enemy and reduce the losses of the people.

He hates Japan more than people of this era. He can be kind to his compatriots, but when facing Japanese spies, he is cruel and cruel, because he understands that everything the Japanese do is hundreds of times more cruel than him.

What he caught didn't even count as interest.

Lin Shi?

Not long after leaving, Chu Lingyun suddenly saw a familiar figure, Lin Shi, a classmate from the military academy.

Lin Shi had the best relationship with him when they were in school. After graduation, the two of them wrote letters to keep in touch at first. Later, Chu Lingyun changed his soul and the contact gradually became less and less.

Lin Shi had good grades and stayed in Nanjing after graduation. Seeing him, the memories of the military academy in Chu Lingyun's soul instantly came to mind.

Chu Lingyun was about to go up and call Lin Shi, but suddenly stopped.

Lin Shi and a middle-aged man passed each other in front of a shop. Chu Lingyun's sharp eyes saw the moment the two passed by, Lin Shi stuffed something into the man's hand.

The two of them continued to go their own way as if they didn't know each other.

When the man passed by her, Chu Lingyun glanced at him. The man was about forty years old. He was wearing a light blue gown and a yellow hat. He walked very energetically.

After taking note of the man's appearance, Chu Lingyun accelerated forward.

Lin Shi.

Chu Lingyun shouted, and Lin Shi, who was walking, suddenly stopped. When he turned around and saw Chu Lingyun, his shock turned into joy.

But he still couldn't hide Chu Lingyun's initial panic.

Ling Yun, why are you here? Aren't you in Wuhan?

Lin Shi turned around, quickly came to Chu Lingyun, and excitedly patted Chu Lingyun on the shoulder. After graduation, the two had not seen each other for more than half a year.

I was transferred back to Nanjing. Where are you now? Are you still in the 36th Regiment?

Chu Lingyun also hit his shoulder, but not with much force. This was their favorite move after they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

No, I was transferred to a small department under the Department of National Defense two months ago, and now I am an ordinary employee. As for you, last time you wrote a letter saying that you went to the Wuhan Station of the Military Intelligence Department. After I replied to you, you will never Since you haven’t written to me, I thought your kid was missing, so I almost didn’t ask for leave to go to Wuhan to look for you.”

Lin Shi is a little shorter than Chu Lingyun and one year older than Chu Lingyun.

You know the nature of my work. There are some things that are inconvenient to say, so I didn't write.

Chu Lingyun smiled slightly, and Lin Shi's expression tightened unnaturally, and then he smiled and said: Yes, there are so many of our classmates, who would have thought that you are engaged in intelligence now, and you are still in the Military Intelligence Department?

Here. Chu Lingyun saw Ni Loach coming over and said immediately: Give me a phone number where I can contact you, and I will make an appointment with you another day.

Okay, have you brought a pen? I went out in a hurry today and didn't bring anything.

Lin Shi said that Chu Lingyun was carrying a pen. He would go out with a map and might sketch at any time.

The two left each other's phone numbers, and Loach also came to Chu Lingyun.

Team leader. Loach called out and looked at Lin Shi again.

He was investigating confidential information. Before he knew Lin Shi's identity, he did not reveal the results of his investigation.

Lin Shi, I still have work to do. I'll contact you in a few days.

Chu Lingyun put away the note with Lin Shi's phone number on it. Lin Shi was startled for a moment and immediately understood what was going on.

Okay, you go ahead and do your work first. I'll go back first. Make sure to call me.

When Lin Shi left, he made a gesture of making a phone call. After he walked far away, Loach said: Team leader, there are quite a few pedicure services in this area. There are nine bathhouses here, each one They all have pedicure masters, and there is more than one person. There are three other opium dens that also offer pedicures. Their pedicures are more expensive and the craftsmanship of the masters is better.

In addition to them, there are also some roadside pedicurists. I haven't counted this clearly yet. Some pedicurists' stalls are not fixed. In addition, they also provide door-to-door services. I estimate that there are at least hundreds of pedicure masters in this area.

so much?

Chu Lingyun frowned. This body's hometown was in Ningcheng. In addition, he had been studying and had never been out. He didn't know that pedicures were very popular in this era.

Especially in Yangzhou, there are pedicure masters all over the country. In some villages, everyone knows it and makes a living by this craft.

Loach nodded and said: Fortunately there is only this one, if there are more in the whole city of Nanjing.

Chu Lingyun frowned and thought hard. There are currently two options for further investigation. One is to find a lot of people and ask these pedicure masters to give them all pedicures, and let Master Zhuang compare them to see if he can find the same person who gave Jiang Binghui pedicures. people.

The other method is to investigate first, identify those who cannot be spies, reduce the number of people, and then repeat the first plan.

The first option can save time, but the disadvantage is that too many people need to be used, and it is easy for the news to leak out, especially when there may be a traitor in the department.

Besides, there were so many people, it was impossible to be sure whether Master Zhuang could identify them.

The second type is a waste of time, but it is more reliable and will not easily alert the snake. Master Zhuang will also be much more relaxed when identifying it.

After thinking for a while, Chu Lingyun finally chose the second option. You continue to investigate. No matter how many pedicure masters there are in this area, except for apprentices, they must be investigated.

Master Zhuang said that the person who trimmed Jiang Binghui's pedicures had at least ten years of experience, but this was a technical job, and some people were highly talented and might be able to match others' level of more than ten years in just a few years.

To be on the safe side, Chu Lingyun decided to screen on a large scale.

yes.

Ni Loach continued to lead people to investigate, and Chu Lingyun returned to the office. When he came out, he simplified the problem. He did not expect that there were so many pedicurists in Nanjing.

Find a bright place and take pictures of his feet. All parts must be clearly photographed.

After returning, Chu Lingyun immediately came to the interrogation department and asked Shen Hanwen to take pictures.

I don’t know how long it will take to investigate at Loach. I’ll take photos and leave images first.

Jiang Binghui's pedicure lasted almost a day. The longer it took, the less traces there were. These traces would be more important physical evidence in the future.

Team leader, I went to have his feet repaired yesterday after he lost his foot.

Shen Hanwen's eyes widened. After Chu Lingyun left just now, he thought hard and finally understood why Chu Lingyun was so interested in Jiang Binghui's feet.

He really didn't expect that a pair of feet could be a clue.

Thanks to Fengyun Danmo for the reward of 1500 starting coins.
