The entire action team, in fact, numbered 161 people.
All 160 people gathered in the open space outside the small building. Chu Lingyun stood at the front. The leaders of the first and second groups stood opposite consciously. Chu Lingyun was the leader of the third group, but he was also the deputy captain and did not Stand in front of your group.
At the front of the three groups, there are only three squad leaders and no group leader.
The young man is their captain. The captain of the Wuhan station action team is called Liao Bin. As soon as he hears the name, he knows that he is from the same family as the station commander Liao Wenwu.
Chu Lingyun met him once when she first came to Wuhan Station. Wang Yuemin took him there, and they never communicated with him again.
Others, especially the new team members, don't even know what their captain looks like.
There is no captain. In fact, the one who calls the shots in the action team now is Chu Lingyun.
Team Leaders Yao and Huang knew before that they were half a head lower than Chu Lingyun. Now that Chu Lingyun has truly become their boss, they have already corrected their positions and regarded themselves as subordinates.
"Spies are very cunning, but through the spies captured during this period, I found some patterns in them."
Chu Lingyun said slowly that his plan was very simple, even clumsy.
"First, most of the spies are single, or they live together as a couple and have no children."
Chu Lingyun looked at everyone and continued: "Second, most of the Japanese spies came to Wuhan in recent years, and most of them have northern accents."
This is not difficult to guess. The Japanese invaders occupied the Northeast and Qingdao. Many of their previously trained agents were in these places. When they spoke, they all had a northern accent.
It’s not that there are none in the south, they are very few in number. Chu Lingyun has never met a spy with a southern accent so far.
"Third, in order to cover up their identities, Japanese spies often have a good reputation. To put it simply, they all appear to be good people to the outside world."
After Chu Lingyun finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
"Why are you laughing? Japanese spies are like this just because they are cunning. We must not take them lightly when dealing with them. This is a valuable experience learned by the captain."
Team Leader Yao shouted, and the laughter subsided a lot. Now is the time to announce the mission. If you laugh randomly at this time, you will be unlucky if you are used to kill chickens and scare monkeys.
"Team Leader Yao is right. Japanese spies are cunning and should not be underestimated."
Chu Lingyun nodded and continued: "Now I am announcing the task. Each of the three action groups is responsible for an area to screen all people in the area who meet the following conditions. First, single men with northern accents; second, those who do not come to Wuhan. Less than one year and no more than three years; third, the age must be between twenty-five and thirty-five; fourth, one must have a good reputation.”
These four conditions are the result of Chu Lingyun's careful consideration.
There are women among Japanese spies, but the number is not large. So far, the only ones he has caught are Keiko Chishima and Hanako Abe. Moreover, female spies are mostly with men, making it difficult to screen.
Abandoning women and only checking men can reduce a lot of wasted work. Moreover, as long as you find a spy and follow the clues, you can check out all the people in his line.
The most important point is that most male spies are single and easier to screen.
At this point in time, Chu Lingyun made a choice based on the captured spies. Now they have just captured a lot of spies. Chu Lingyun doesn't know if there are any new ones, but even if there are, there is nothing wrong with them when they arrive. The characteristics are difficult to screen, so we can only give up.
The age is judged based on the confessions of captured Japanese spies. This is not a period of all-out war of resistance. The professional quality of Japanese spies is very high. Many of their agents have undergone long-term training.
In this case, no one is too young, but not too old either.
When you get older, you are often promoted to a superior officer, and rarely continue to fight on the front line.
The last point is purely because of the habits of these Japanese spies. Whether it is Kitamura Kiya, Takano Hideki, or Kawasaki Takehi, they are all generous and good people in the impression of their neighbors.
This may be related to the habits of the Japanese. They always look hypocritical when dealing with the outside world, but the ferocity in their hearts is extremely terrifying.
These four conditions can screen out most people.
For the remaining people, Chu Lingyun could not guarantee that there would be spies.
If he hadn't had any clues at the moment, he wouldn't have used such a stupid method to screen a large area to find someone.
"Captain, even if these four conditions are met, there are so many people in our three towns in Wuhan. After screening, there are still many people who meet the conditions. Isn't the workload too heavy?"
A captain of the second team said, and Chu Lingyun's face darkened: "Did I say that the three towns of Wuhan will be investigated together? Didn't you hear what I just said about checking by photo area?"
Chu Lingyun assigns tasks and his subordinates only need to accept them. Such public questioning is tantamount to challenging his authority.
"Shut up." Team Leader Huang of the second team shouted hurriedly.
Chu Lingyun didn't know exactly how many people there were in the three towns of Wuhan, which was currently the third largest city in the country. Chu Lingyun didn't know, but according to previous statistics, it was close to one million.
There are so many people, just screening, naturally there are not enough people in their action team.
"First conduct an investigation in Hankou. Each group will find a police station and conduct investigations in separate areas. During the investigation, do not tell the police details, only let them help."
Chu Lingyun continued, there are almost 300,000 people in Hankou alone, which is also a huge workload.
The action team cannot do this by itself. It must seek help from the police and land security guards who are most familiar with the people's conditions in order to quickly find qualified people.
"I only give each group three days. They must screen out all the qualified people in their area. Whoever can't do it will be asked. If the three groups can't do it, I will punish myself. In addition, this operation is strictly confidential. , whoever leaks it to the outside world will be punished with treason."
After Chu Lingyun finished speaking, everyone felt shocked.
Treason, if you are caught, you will be shot. The captain is serious, no one dares to be careless. The captain who raised the question before is almost ashamed now, why do you talk so rudely? Question the captain.
If Chu Lingyun gave him little shoes to wear in the future, there wouldn't even be anyone to help him.
"Each group takes action immediately, and I will see the results in three days."
Chu Lingyun was sharp in his work and never talked nonsense. After announcing the mission, he disbanded on the spot. There were five branches in the Hankou police station. It was helpless to only investigate the scope of three of the branches in the early stage.
This is the limit of what they can do right now.
Even so, when one group is responsible for one area, it is still a huge workload. Team Leaders Yao and Team Leaders Huang do not dare to neglect it. This is the first task order given to them by Chu Lingyun after being promoted, and they must do it well.
The three action groups were different. The whole group was full of confidence and had no complaints.
Following the team leader, they had already captured many spies. All three group members had blind trust in Chu Lingyun. As long as they followed him, the spies would do anything.
