Spy Shadow

Chapter 174 Half a fingerprint

Later, news came out of the investigation of a traitor in the department. He was not too worried. His resume was clear, and his hometown had been cleaned up by the superiors. In addition, he had not taken any action in the Military Intelligence Department. No matter who went to investigate, Don't even try to find him.

However, he still made arrangements carefully and carefully observed to make sure that there was never anyone around him who was following him.

Time passed slowly, and he thought that this time the investigation of the traitor would end in vain. After all, the department had investigated the traitor many times, almost every year, and so far they had only found a Julie.

He continues to lie dormant as before, until today.

The phone call informing him to evacuate proved that he was indeed exposed.

It's just that he couldn't figure out why he was exposed. He had just carefully recalled everything about himself, and he couldn't find the reason why he was exposed.

"Liu Dazhuang."

He Nian personally sat in the chief interrogation position, and there were not many people who could allow He Nian to interrogate him in person. There was only one Wang Wei before, and now there is Liu Dazhuang.

"Your fake parents have been arrested. Please tell the truth."

He Nian, like Chu Lingyun, started out as a deceiver. Liu Dazhuang's fake parents were not caught at all, and it would be difficult to catch them in the future.

"Chief He, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Liu Dazhuang was shocked. He understood what the problem was. In order to facilitate his disguise and the various scrutiny he might face in the future, a pair of parents were specially arranged for him.

The parents who arranged for him were not professional intelligence officers, but they were extremely loyal warriors to the empire, and they were a real couple. They had been specially trained for a long time to cooperate with him.

Liu Dazhuang didn't understand why they had problems.

"You are an old man in the department. You are very aware of our attitude towards Japanese spies. If you don't tell us honestly, these instruments of torture will not be polite to you."

He Nian pointed at the gloomy various instruments of torture in the torture chamber. Most people would be so frightened that they would tremble when they entered. People without training or firm faith would simply not be able to withstand these.

"Chief He, I was wronged. I don't have any fake parents. I don't know who you are talking about, but I can confront them face to face."

Liu Dazhuang still didn't admit it. He was not a fool. He would not believe whatever he said during the New Year greetings. He would not be easily fooled before meeting someone.

Chu Lingyun was able to deceive Jiro Kawamoto before simply because Jiro Kawamoto's heart was already in chaos. Under normal circumstances, Jiro Kawamoto would not easily believe his words.

"If you are stubborn and stubborn, I will give you a chance and you will be punished."

This is the benefit of He Nian's personal trial. If it were Chu Lingyun, Liu Dazhuang would not confess and there was no complete evidence. He could not torture Liu Dazhuang casually. After all, Liu Dazhuang's level was only half a level lower than him.

New Year's greetings are different. He is the section chief and others dare not say anything about Liu Dazhuang's torture.

In the torture room, Liu Dazhuang's screams and cries of injustice were soon heard. He Nian ignored him at all and kept asking people to torture him to extract a confession.

Leather whips, tiger benches, soldering irons, braziers and other torture instruments were all used.

Liu Dazhuang was tortured to the point of dying, but he still cried out for injustice and refused to admit that he was Japanese, let alone a spy. He was so stubborn that it gave He Nian a headache.

"Team leader, Captain Zhao is calling."

A team member walked over from outside and reported to Chu Lingyun in a low voice. Loach's famous name is Zhao San. Chu Lingyun can call him Loach, but others don't dare. Except for Chu Lingyun and Shen Hanwen, even Chu Yuan will respectfully call him Captain Zhao when he sees Loach.

"You go ahead and I'll interrogate him."

He Nian heard the team members' report and asked Chu Lingyun to answer the phone first.

"Team leader, we found that car. It was a car that a man named Ren Han just bought three days ago, and it was also registered by him. I found Ren Han. He will be looking for his car on the street. According to what he said, Said his car was stolen more than two hours ago."

The car was stolen?

The spy stole a car and made the warning call. This possibility is not impossible. Today's notice to Liu Dazhuang is very urgent. Riding a bicycle can indeed save time, and the stolen car will not easily reveal himself.

"Check this Ren Han, and also ask when and where his car was stolen."

Chu Lingyun told Ni Loach that he would not wrongly accuse anyone casually, and he would carefully check all current information related to the messenger.

The people who sent people to search Liu Dazhuang's home also received news that nothing useful was found in his home.

Chu Lingyun was not surprised by this. Liu Dazhuang was in a dormant state and worked in the Military Intelligence Department. If he placed things at home that might reveal his identity, he was not qualified to let Zhu Lihua cover for him.

It is impossible for the Japanese to make such a mistake.

Back in the torture room, Liu Dazhuang's torture had been suspended and he did not confess.

He Nian did not dare to use too much torture. If he was beaten to death before there was irrefutable evidence, he would not be able to explain to Han Xianghui, let alone report to the director.

"Ling Yun, it seems that you have to work hard to find the evidence that Liu Dazhuang is a spy."

"Section Chief, don't worry, I will find the evidence as soon as possible."

Chu Lingyun responded that this was his job in itself.

Without evidence, even if Liu Dazhuang is executed, other people in the department will not be convinced and will stay away from him.

Especially the Inspection Section. Without evidence, it would be tantamount to completely offending them.

"Team leader, the bicycle was found and placed on the roadside one kilometer away from the hotel. I will bring the bike back right now."

More than an hour later, Loach called again. The bike had been found, which was good news.

"Be careful to protect the physical evidence and do not destroy the fingerprints on it."

Chu Lingyun warned that fingerprint identification technology was already available at this time, both in Shanghai and Nanjing.

Fingerprint identification technology was born as early as 1907. In recent years, domestic police and intelligence agencies have begun to use it many times. However, there is not such a complete fingerprint database. After fingerprints are found, they can only be compared and verified.

"Don't worry, I understand."

Loach had rich experience in handling cases and understood the seriousness of the matter. It didn't take long for him to return to the Military Intelligence Office with the bicycle.

"Team leader, this is the car."

Loach pointed to a brand new bicycle and said. Chu Lingyun walked over and saw that there was no paint on the edge of the seat as the man said.

Chu Lingyun looked carefully and used tweezers to pinch out a little residual dark yellow paint from the leather seam at the lower end of the seat.

"Let the people from the technical department test this thing, and let them find a way to extract all the fingerprints on the bicycle."

Chu Lingyun put the clip away. The hotel clerk didn't lie. There was indeed paint on the bicycle, but it had been wiped down when it was abandoned.

The people from the technical department came over quickly and found no fingerprints on the car's handles, seats, or bars.

Chu Lingyun had asked the clerk before. The caller did not wear gloves, which showed that he had a strong heart. After making the call, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he dealt with the traces on the car before abandoning the car.

"Team Leader Hu, please check carefully, especially the lock position."

Chu Lingyun said to Team Leader Hu who came from the technical department, the technical department is not a big department, there are only two groups, and the two groups together can only have eight people. Don't look at it as a group leader, his status is inferior to Chu Lingyun A lot.

"Don't worry, Team Leader Chu, we will never let go of any area."

Team Leader Hu took three of his men to check the vehicle again, especially the lock position mentioned by Chu Lingyun, and checked it most carefully.

"Team leader, we found half a fingerprint here."

Not long after, a technician called out, and both Chu Lingyun and Ni Loach leaned over.

On the back of the car lock, half a fingerprint slowly appeared.

"Team Leader Chu, there are traces of the car lock being opened. If it is really a stolen car, then the person who stole the car is a master of unlocking. He opened the car lock directly without damaging the structure of the lock, and even cleaned up all the locks afterwards. There are traces, but they are sparse. When he held the car lock with his hand, he left half a fingerprint of his middle finger on the back of the car lock."

Team Leader Hu said happily that he had found a fingerprint, even if it was only half a fingerprint, it was still very important evidence.

If they can help the Operations Section solve the case, they will also be able to share some of the credit.

The Technical Section is not the Intelligence Section or the Operations Section, nor is it the Telecommunications Section or the Interrogation Section. They are not used very often, let alone for meritorious service.

"Thank you, Team Leader Hu, for keeping this half of your fingerprint."

"Don't worry, I will extract it right now and protect it for your future comparison."

They are not good at other technical matters, but they are experts at testing items, examining physical evidence, and extracting fingerprints. As long as the half of the fingerprint is discovered, they can preserve it well.

After the people from the technical department left, Chu Lingyun asked Niyi: "Where is the car owner now?"

"I'm going to ask. I've placed someone next to him. I'll definitely be able to find him."

Ni Loach immediately replied that no matter whether the car was really stolen or not, the owner of the car was a very important person. After Ni Loach met the car owner, he did not take him back, but arranged for someone to follow him at all times.

"Find some of the clothes and hats the hotel clerk mentioned, have the car owner put them on, and bring them to the clerk for identification."

Chu Lingyun nodded. Ni Loach was smooth but conscientious and rarely made mistakes in the things assigned to him.

"Team leader, do you suspect that Ren Han is a spy?" Loach asked doubtfully.

"It's not suspicion, it's screening. Also remember to get all his fingerprints."

As the owner of the car, Ren Han must verify whether he is the person who reported the report or not. He is not the best. If it is really him, it will save them time.

"Yes, team leader."

Ni Loach took the order and went out. These things could not trouble him, while Chu Lingyun quietly waited for the news.

Two hours later, Section Chief Hu from the Technical Department called: "Team Leader Chu, the preliminary test results are out. It is indeed paint. This is a paint commonly used on furniture. Detailed test results will take several days." I will let you know when the results come out."

"Team Leader Hu, if you were given all the paints on the market, could you quickly detect the same paints?"

A few days are too long, and this kind of thing cannot be delayed for too long. The identity of the person who reported the news is unknown, and he may leave Nanjing at any time.

After a few days of waiting, the day lilies were already cold.

The person who reported the information could not be found, and Liu Dazhuang's parents were not caught. He refused to admit it, and others would not be convinced even if they killed him.

"Of course. If there is a comparison, the results will be available soon." Team Leader Hu replied cheerfully.

"Wait a moment, I'll send someone to buy paint and send it to you right away."

Chu Lingyun hung up the phone, called Zhao Dong, and asked him to take people to the street to buy some of all the paints he could see, regardless of color.

Paint is a clue. Whether it is now or in the future, there are certain types of people who use paint. The fact that the car seat is stained with paint means that he must have this kind of paint on his body and accidentally got it on the car.

Finding the corresponding paint and finding out the buyer is the next direction of investigation.

The direction of investigation is very important and cannot be wrong. Once it is wrong, it will only waste time or even go in the wrong direction.

Before Zhao Dong came back, Loach called: "Team leader, I found Ren Han and asked him to change his clothes. The guy looked at it and it's not him. His figure is different."

The guy didn't see the caller clearly, but he had seen him.

It happened not long ago, and he was questioned at gunpoint. He was deeply impressed. The person who made the call was obviously stronger than the person Nili brought him. They were not the same person at all.

"I've got Ren Han's fingerprints. Let's go back to the office now."

Loach made the call from the hotel. After hanging up the phone, he didn't forget to pay the phone bill to the guy.

The clerk is not the boss, he is just a part-time worker. Niluo is not short of this money, so there is no need for the clerk to advance it himself.

"Sir, has my car been found?"

Ren Han on the side asked anxiously. He was very anxious when the car was lost. It was a new car he had just bought and had only been riding for three days.

I went out to do errands today and the car was locked outside. Unexpectedly, it was stolen by a damn thief in a short time. The moment he found out that the car was gone, he wanted to die.

He was just an ordinary person. He had saved up for a long time to buy this car. Losing it was a huge blow to him.

"Not yet, don't worry, I will definitely give it to you when I find it."

Ni Loach didn't tell the truth. If he was told that the car had been found, he would definitely chase after it. How could Ni Loach have time to tangle with him now.

"Thank you, thank you sir, you must help me find it."

Ren Han kept clasping his fists and bowing. The clerk confirmed that it was not him, so his suspicions were eliminated a lot. Even if the fingerprints on the car were his, there was no way to conclude that he was a spy.

After all, it was his car, and it was normal for his fingerprints to be left on the car.

Zhao Dong purchased paint and returned to his office. There were not many types of paint in this era, but the colors could be mixed, so just buy the main ones.

The paint was sent to the technical department for comparison, and Chu Lingyun could only wait.

In front of Chu Lingyun, there was a detailed map of Nanjing City. He drew a dot on the hotel where he called. Around this dot, Chu Lingyun drew three circles.

One inside the other, the distance is not too far apart.

Since it is an emergency notification, they will not go far away to make a call, which will only waste time, but they will not be too close, which could easily expose themselves.

The most suitable distance was one kilometer. To be on the safe side, Chu Lingyun drew two more circles, namely two kilometers and two and a half kilometers.

1,400 monthly tickets for additional updates, the update ends today.
