Genius Agent

Chapter 77 Generous Dowry

Secretary Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "I'll go talk to the section chief. You can continue with the other investigations."

"Thank you, Secretary Qi."

Qu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Su Yuncheng again. This mysterious Dandelion was something; the direction he proposed was indeed one they hadn't investigated before.

"Hurry up, Section Chief Qu, could you please arrange some people for me? I'll go investigate too."

Su Yuncheng stood up. His time was limited; he could only stay in Nanjing for a maximum of three days. After three days, he had to leave regardless of whether he found the person or not.

He could explain it in three days, but it wouldn't make sense if it took longer.

He had to help personally, otherwise how could he lure out those two people with ulterior motives?

"Okay, as long as we can find the person, I'll cooperate fully. I'll give you all the people in Intelligence Group."

Qu Ning immediately responded. Secretary Qi glanced at him. Qu Ning had a good overall perspective and understood that this was the director's case, and he couldn't have any personal biases.

Intelligence Team One is Qu Ning's direct subordinate and also the strongest member of the intelligence team. Qu Ning giving Team One to Su Yuncheng is indeed quite generous.

Back in the director's office, Secretary Qi immediately reported everything that had happened during the three-person meeting to the director.

"I'll talk to the camp staff and tell them to investigate and find the person."

After listening to the report, the section chief picked up the phone without hesitation, while Secretary Qi lowered his head and said, "Yes, section chief."

Their superiors remained as decisive and efficient as ever, knowing exactly what they should and shouldn't do.

To investigate the headquarters, one must obtain the old man's permission. In this way, the fact that there are Japanese spies lurking in Nanjing cannot be concealed. After reporting, one must find the spies; otherwise, it is one's own incompetence.

The reason the section chief hadn't reported it before was because they couldn't find the person.

Now that they know Su Yuncheng has put forward a new viewpoint that needs to be reported, they immediately agree.

No wonder he was able to become a section chief, and the old man always trusted him very much.

Not everyone has that kind of courage.

After finishing his call, the section chief left quickly.

Upon receiving the order, team leader Wei Changfeng immediately led everyone to the intelligence department's conference room.

"This is Mr. Dandelion. From now on, his orders are my orders. Do whatever he tells you to do."

Qu Ning introduced Su Yuncheng to everyone, and Wei Changfeng was taken aback. Dandelion?

Which parents gave their child such a strange name?

"Yes, Section Chief. We guarantee to obey Mr. Pu's orders. Hello, Mr. Pu."

Wei Changfeng greeted her respectfully. Qu Ning was slightly taken aback, but did not correct Wei Changfeng's form of address.

He knew that Dandelion was not his real name; Wei Changfeng had misunderstood and thought it was.

There is indeed a surname Pu. Since this surname exists, it's normal for someone to be called Dandelion. What if they happen to be from the Gong generation?

The parents then gave him the character "英" (Ying) as a name, which resulted in the name Dandelion.

"Section Chief Qu, let's investigate the situations we mentioned before in different sections. Let's start by checking the areas inside the city, then the areas outside the city. It's best to get a clear picture of everything as soon as possible."

Su Yuncheng took the initiative to say that the city has the largest population, so checking hospitals, schools, and even weddings and funerals from a year ago would indeed be quite troublesome.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Before authorization, they cannot investigate the camp. Once authorization is granted, Qu Ning will immediately conduct a detailed investigation of the people in the camp.

If Japanese spies were indeed lurking there, finding him would be an immense achievement.

When it comes to the old man, nothing is insignificant.

The city has many districts, and the intelligence department only has a little over a hundred people. They need all kinds of assistance, including from the police.

"Mr. Pu, let's check the west side of the city first. There aren't any particularly expensive schools in the west side, but there are three large hospitals. For information on weddings and funerals, you can check with the Social Affairs Bureau. If you want more details, you can contact the Baojia (local security bureau)."

Su Yuncheng was unfamiliar with Nanjing, so Wei Changfeng took the initiative to suggest a direction for the investigation.

"I'll go with you."

Su Yuncheng nodded. Since there were no expensive schools, it would save time. Qu Ning gave them the west side of the city because she was worried that Su Yuncheng didn't have much experience, so she specially asked them to check out some ordinary places first.

The western part of the city is full of slums, while the eastern part is a wealthy area.

"Okay, I'll arrange a car."

Wei Changfeng left in a hurry. The group consisted of more than forty people, and they had to split up to investigate. The Special Service Department didn't have that many vehicles, so everyone else had to ride bicycles.

Even bicycles are considered a luxury item by ordinary people; they are very expensive.

Ordinary people simply can't afford it.

Su Yuncheng accompanied them in investigating the case. The most important thing was that no one could deceive him. The things they needed to investigate were very trivial, and it was something that happened a year ago. Time was of the essence, and Su Yuncheng didn't want to waste any time.

The hospitals are alright; they keep records. There aren't many serious illnesses that can cost hundreds to thousands of French dollars at once, and each hospital can send two people to find out their detailed situation.

Weddings and funerals must be registered. The Civil Affairs Section of the Social Affairs Bureau is responsible for these matters; they have the records.

Looking at the files alone is too simplistic; they only contain dates and names, which isn't enough to deduce anything. It's best to ask the local security bureau.

The Baojia system was responsible for all the trivial matters of the people, and they knew everything about their area.

Not to mention these important matters, they can find out even when someone's cat or dog has given birth.

Su Yuncheng met the Baojia system.

The Special Service personnel brought them in, and Su Yuncheng questioned them one by one based on the information obtained from the Social Affairs Bureau.

"A year ago, there weren't many weddings in our area, only two, and Mr. Wang's family's was the most grand."

As soon as Su Yuncheng finished speaking about the third Baojia, the other party launched into a long and detailed explanation.

This local headman was in his forties and had a lot of prestige in the neighborhood. He was always very talkative. Mr. Wang was a wealthy man in the area and his family was well-off.

"What does Mr. Wang do? What about his daughter and son-in-law?"

After he finished speaking, Su Yuncheng took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Wang's daughter's marriage was indeed grand. Ordinary people only need a few dozen yuan for a bride price, but Mr. Wang's daughter received five hundred yuan."

If converted to cattle, that's ten head; the bride price is indeed generous.

Including all the wedding decorations, the expenses came to about 800 yuan.

"Mr. Wang is a clerk who works at the Social Affairs Bureau. His daughter and son-in-law do not live in the city; they went to the outskirts of the city with Mr. Wang's son."

"Mr. Wang's son is very capable; he is the one who protects the Chairman."

As soon as Baojia finished speaking, Su Yuncheng raised his head. "The people protecting the Chairman?"

The wedding expenses for his daughter a year ago, which amounted to nearly a thousand yuan, perfectly matched Su Yuncheng's previous guess about the budget.

"Explain the situation of his entire family, including his son-in-law, son, and everyone else."

Su Yuncheng asked softly, and the village head didn't think much of it and immediately revealed all of Mr. Wang's family background.

Mr. Wang himself is fine. He has a son and a daughter, and in this era, there aren't many children like that.

Mr. Wang lived in Northeast China in his early years. After the Northeast fell to the Japanese, he came to Nanjing. His son was admitted to a military academy in his early years. He later performed well and became a bodyguard of the Chairman. He is currently a platoon leader and is mainly stationed in the camp outside the city.

Although his rank wasn't high, he had dozens of men under his command and guarded a very important location.

After arriving in Nanjing, Mr. Wang paid to get a job in the Social Affairs Bureau through a relative's introduction. To ordinary people, he was like an official, but his position in the Social Affairs Bureau was not high.

Because of his son, most people wouldn't dare offend him.
