Chapter 1244: Clear detection route (2)

The Japanese intelligence agency is different from the intelligence agencies of most countries. It is very generous in developing moles, but stingy with intelligence personnel. Most of the operation funds are raised by themselves. In short, if you need money, it will be a black card board.

But after all, slogans cannot be used as food, so the Japanese spies were forced to use their brains to open opium dens, set up technical institutes, engage in smuggling, and make money in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.

The local district station once reported a case in which a spy in a certain local government office focused on public funds due to lack of operational funds. As a result, he was reported because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and this happened.

This is simply a piece of black humor. In any country, a spy like this who is in a key position and deeply lurking would not worry about money.

Wu Jingzhong, deputy director of the First Division, agreed with Song Minghao's speculation about the suspect, but he also pointed out that the possibility of the suspect releasing a smoke bomb cannot be ruled out, and other evidence must be found to support this conclusion.

"Old Wu is right."

Gu Qi, who has always acted cautiously, immediately agreed and gave a solution, which was to completely dig out the false identity of deceased No. 2.

Once deceased No. 2 is found, they can use the details of the other person's life to disprove the suspicion that the suspect lacks funds.

Zuo Zhong smiled. The King of Golden Sentences came from a major and graduated from the Red Russian Intelligence School. He was thorough in his work and had an open mind. The reminder just now was very timely.

If the suspect is not short of money, the military commander will be fooled by focusing the investigation on low-income people.

Looking across everyone's faces, Zuo Zhong lowered his head and thought, then issued several orders for the following investigation work, and initially clarified the detection route.

1. Continue to investigate Yuan Chuyu’s social relationships. Classmates, friends, relatives, and teachers must be screened one by one.

He wants to know who the other person is closely related to, what he has said, and what he has done.

Second, conduct a thorough investigation of Yuan Chuyu’s activities during his time at school.

The school is not like any other place, it is full of students, and maybe someone has seen the contents of the notebook.

Third, make every effort to find out the disguised identity of deceased No. 2.

Fourth, find more witnesses.

At least we need to find out the specific location of Yuan Chuyu's disappearance. We can't just have a general range like now.

Fifth, hand over Yuan Chuyu’s photos to the person in charge of a hotel near Central University or even in the city for identification.

Assuming that Yuan Chuyu met someone for dinner, it would most likely be at a restaurant near the school. They could follow this clue to get the suspect's information.

The first and second tasks were handled by the second branch, and the other three tasks were handled by the first branch. Wu Chunyang and Song Minghao immediately stood up to receive the order.

For a time, there were dense spies inside and outside Central University. Dai Chunfeng received the news and came to Zuo Zhong to ask what happened.

Since the case only happened last night, Zuo Zhong had not had time to report it. After seeing Lao Dai, he immediately reported the case and emphasized that Central University had a national defense project.

Dai Chunfeng was very sensitive and immediately asked Zuo Zhong to do his best to detect the case. It didn't matter whether the person could be found, but the safety of the national defense project must be ensured.

At the same time, Song Minghao and two agents summoned Yuan Chuyu's classmates and teachers outside a classroom and began to question them.

"How is your relationship with Yuan Chuyu?"

"We just know each other, we are both students in the mathematics department."

"Have you ever communicated alone? Don't lie. This kind of thing is easy to verify."

"Really not. Yuan Chuyu treats people very warmly, but I'm not familiar with him. You can ask Fang Quan. They have a very good relationship."

…………

"Yuan Chuyu is your roommate, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you know what is written on Yuan Chuyu's books and notes in his dormitory?"

"I don't know. He is very careful about his own things. He locks his desk every time he goes out."

"You're okay with that?"

"The school is a mixed bag, and there are many thefts. I will also lock the desk when I go out."

"Who has the best relationship with Yuan Chuyu?"

"Fang Quan!"

…………

"This gentleman, does he know Yuan Chuyu?"

"I know, he is my student. Oh, by the way, I teach English."

"What's your impression of him?"

"Eager to learn, smart, with a very high level of English, and also understands Japanese, Red Russian, and German."

"Know Japanese, Red Russian, Japanese? How do you know that?"

"I happen to understand these three languages. Yuan Chuyu once came to me to ask me about grammar."

"Write down your conversation, word for word!"

"well."

…………

"You and Yuan Chuyu are at the same table. Have you seen anything he wrote in his notebook?"

"I've seen it, some text records."

"Other than that?"

"Besides? No, everyone is listening attentively during class and doesn't care about what others do. You can find Fang Quan. The two of them are often together." When asking Yuan Chuyu's classmates and teachers, one name appeared many times. , Song Minghao decisively adjusted the order of questioning and asked Fang Quan to be called.

Fang Quan is also a student in the Department of Mathematics. He is about the same age as Yuan Chuyu. He is tall and looks very strong. However, before Song Minghao could speak after entering, he started speaking with fear on his face.

"Sir, I am Fang Quan, and I am good friends with Chu Yu."

"When Yuan Chuyu disappeared, where were you and what were you doing?"

"I was studying by myself in the library that afternoon, and many people saw me."

"Do you know what was written in his notebook?"

"Know some, but not all."

"Tell me what you know."

"I once asked Chu Yu, and he said it was mathematical formulas and foreign languages. I don't know the specific formulas and foreign languages."

Song Minghao frowned. A group of spies kidnapped or killed a student just for mathematical formulas and foreign language? It doesn't make sense, there must be a secret here.

He looked at Fang Quan and told him that he was not allowed to leave the school or the mountain city in the near future, and that he would be waiting for summons at any time. Fang Quan nodded with a grimace and was about to go out. When he was about to go out, he suddenly heard two more questions.

"Does Yuan Chuyu often leave school? Does he have any close friends outside school?"

Fang Quan stopped, thought carefully and then shook his head.

"Chuyu works very hard, and his schoolwork is also very intense. He is usually either in class or studying in the dormitory and library.

As for friends outside school, of course they do. For example, his classmates in middle school, he would meet these people every holiday. "

Speaking of this, Fang Quan seemed to have thought of something, and a tangled look flashed across his face. He didn't know whether he should say it or not. Seeing this, Song Minghao told him not to worry and to tell the truth.

"Fang Quan, you have to know that when you help us, you are helping Yuan Chuyu. Don't you want your friend to come back soon?"

"Okay, sir, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

Fang Quan wiped his cold sweat and answered truthfully: "Chu Yu seemed to have made a lot of money half a year ago. I asked him where the money came from, but he didn't answer."

Made a lot of money…

Could this be the reason for Yuan Chuyu's disappearance?

Song Minghao circled the sentence "made a lot of money" in his confession, asked Fang Quan to be taken away, and ordered an investigation into Yuan Chuyu's borrowing records and financial situation in the library.

The borrowing records are easy to check. The National Central University Library has complete procedures for borrowing books. The borrower’s signature is required to confirm who borrowed what book at what time.

It is difficult to read the records, and you can only recover them bit by bit through questioning. Fortunately, the students are not resistant to the military commander's investigation and provide a lot of clues, which may be because of their sympathy.

"Algebra", "Number Theory Report", "German Basics"...

Song Minghao was troubled by the obscure titles of the books. He decisively gave up on this line and tried his best to investigate Yuan Chuyu's financial situation. As a result, a big problem was discovered as soon as he checked.

"Director, something has been discovered!"

The sweaty little agent ran to Song Minghao and said excitedly: "Through the Fourth Alliance Headquarters, we found out that the target has a deposit in the Bank of Communications under a pseudonym."

"What's your pseudonym?"

"Lu Shusen, Yuan Chuyu used his mother's surname and his father's name."

"What's the amount?"

"Twenty thousand dollars!"

"How many!?"

Song Minghao's voice became sharp. In today's mountain city, 50 US dollars can buy a Red Russian submachine gun, and 20,000 US dollars is enough to equip a battalion. How can Yuan Chuyu, a student, get so much money?

Did Yuan's father and Yuan's mother give it to him? It's impossible. They might be able to raise $20,000 by selling all the Yuan family's properties, but Yuan's father and Yuan's mother are not crazy.

This is more than just making a lot of money. With 20,000 US dollars, Yuan Chuyu no longer needs to go to college and can just find a place to enjoy life.

"What about the source of funds? Is it remittance or cash deposit?"

"Have any deposit receipts been found in Yuan Chuyu's dormitory and Yuan's family?"

Song Minghao asked two questions in succession, and the little agent answered them one by one.

"Cash deposit, 80% new cash, with denominations ranging from US$20, US$50, and US$100. Because the amount was huge, the manager remembered Yuan Chuyu very clearly and recognized him as soon as he saw the photo.

No deposit receipts were found in Yuan Chuyu's dormitory or home, and neither his father nor his mother had seen them. They were probably taken away by the suspects. Such deposit receipts can be withdrawn with a seal and signature. "

The little agent didn't say anything further, but Song Minghao knew that seals and signatures were not a problem for the suspect this time.

No seal was found in Yuan Chuyu's belongings, indicating that the seal also fell into the hands of the suspect. Counterfeiting signatures is a basic skill of intelligence officers.

In other words, the suspect will appear at the Bank of Communications at any time, and the other party will not let go of dozens of legal currency, and will never leave 20,000 US dollars alone. This is an opportunity!

Song Minghao immediately ordered: "Inform the First Department and ask Director Wu to send capable personnel to the Bank of Communications head office and various branches in Shancheng, and then tell the Bank of Communications to secretly freeze this account.

If someone withdraws money out of town or through special channels, they must be detained for verifying their account and wait for our people to pass. If something goes wrong, I will kill them. "

The division of labor in the military command is becoming more and more professional. The second division is good at screening and review, and the intelligence investigation tasks are not as professional as the first division. To be on the safe side, the clues are still handled by the first division. Anyway, the credit will not be less.

But Song Minghao didn't know that when the second breakthrough was made, the first one was also discovered at the post office near Central University.

On the day Yuan Chuyu disappeared, witnesses saw the target outside the post office. Wu Chunyang rushed to the scene immediately and questioned the witnesses.
