Lurker

Chapter 75 Finding the Trace
Back in the big office, Zhou Lin saw Wang Chaoyang sitting there waiting for him.

"Any news?" Zhou Lin asked.

Wang Chaoyang said: "We found Fang Yun's home."

Zhou Lin asked, "Who is in his family?"

"Wife, a pair of sons and daughters. By the way, Taijun, I found out that the house we were monitoring originally belonged to Uncle Fang Yun."

Zhou Lin opened the cigarettes, took out a pack, and sold the others in the drawer.

Then he opened the cigarette, threw one to Wang Chaoyang, and lit one himself.

"Is his second uncle dead?"

"No! I heard that his second uncle went to Xinjing. He found an errand over there. Let Fang Yun take care of the house here."

Look after?Looking after it like this?It's almost a pigsty.

Zhou Lin took a puff of cigarette: "It seems that the relationship between them is tenant-to-tenant. Then who will lead them?"

Wang Chaoyang also lit a cigarette: "There is no one to connect. Isn't Fang Yun a temporary job in the newspaper? It took very little money to publish the advertisement. Three days after it was published in the newspaper, someone came to his door and rented his house."

Zhou Lin ordered: "Find that newspaper."

A small group of people went to find newspapers.

Fortunately, it was just a few days ago, and it belonged to the newspaper of the month.The newspaper is still on the shelf.The newspaper of the day was quickly found.

The advertisement stated very clearly that there was a set of flats, two bedrooms and one hall, with a kitchen and toilet.Where is the address.The monthly rent is three yuan and Manzhou yuan.In other words, it is equivalent to three oceans.

It should be that the three people went to rent Zifang Yun's house after seeing the advertisement.

This advertisement was published on September NO.20.Today is September 29th.In other words, the ad is only nine days old now.

Zhou Lin said to Wang Chaoyang: "Call the team to a meeting immediately. It's in the big meeting room."

The small conference room is stipulated as a place for Japanese people to hold small meetings.Chinese people are not allowed to enter.Only the big meeting room can Chinese people enter.

Zhou Lin took the newspaper and came to the big conference room.

The team is all here.

Zhou Lin said: "Now, I give you the first task. It is to find out the rental advertisements published in Mudanjiang newspapers from September No. 20 to today."

Zhou Lin divided the work among everyone, and each of them took a newspaper, and found out the genuine edition or the advertisements in the cracks.Just rent an ad.

One newspaper per person, only looking for advertisements, and they are rental advertisements.

This is done very quickly. Ten minutes later, all the notes written by everyone were handed over to Zhou Lin.

After Zhou Lin gave these rental advertisements to the general manager, he asked Wang Chaoyang to write them down.

In ten days, a total of [-] people advertised for renting a house in the newspaper.

Seventeen advertisements, Zhou Lin distributed to ten people.If the address is similar, check two or three.If you have an address list, check one.

After dividing the addresses, Zhou Lin confessed: "Find these renters and check the rental status of their houses. How many people rented and when did they rent. You must ask clearly."

All ten people were sent out, and Zhou Lin waited for their call in the office.Contact them anytime.

An hour later, a call came in.

The first to call was an old player.He was assigned two commercials.

"Kurata Tai-kun, I've found out two of my locations. One was rented by a couple. The other is empty and hasn't been rented out yet."

Soon, everyone was calling.

After two hours, all rental advertisements were investigated.

Seven houses were rented out, and ten houses were not rented out.

Of the seven houses rented out, none of them were occupied by three men.After investigation, those tenants are all people who have worked in Mudanjiang for a long time.They are not new to Mudanjiang.

Zhou Lin couldn't help wondering, was he going in the wrong direction?

The reason for staring at the advertisement in the newspaper.It is because, in Mudanjiang, if residents want to rent a house, they need to go to the street management office to register.Individual residents are not allowed to post rental advertisements privately.

This request was put forward by the Japanese to facilitate the management of floating personnel.If it is not managed, there will be many people who are not in control and will enter Mudanjiang.

Secondly, rental houses need to be published in newspapers, which allows Japanese people to know the housing and personnel conditions in the city.

In the absence of private small advertisements, outsiders can only stay in hotels and inns.Not to mention that the place is expensive, even in the rounds of the Japanese, it is also daunting.

Those three people will definitely not go to the hotel room.If you don't say anything involuntarily, you can't take in what you bring.Once you take it in, don't even think about taking it out again.

Therefore, they will definitely choose to rent a house.You can only read the advertisements in the newspapers.

However, to Zhou Lin's disappointment, there was no suspicious person among the seven residents.

It should be said that one of the eight tenants has a suspicious tenant.But the tenant left without saying goodbye.

Did they leave Mudanjiang?
But according to Lao Huang, the news he found was that the task of the three men would take three months.It is impossible not to complete the task, just leave.

If they don't leave, they will be in Mudanjiang!
Where can they live?
Annoyed for a moment, Zhou Lin drove away from the extra-high school.

Aimlessly, Zhou Lin turned around.

Walking to the west of the city, I saw a group of people gathered together.

Zhou Lin stopped the car, but did not go over.He could clearly hear the voice of the person over there.

It turned out that he was a homeless man who had no place to live, so he found a small wooden house and lived there.Unexpectedly, the owner of the wooden house moved to the vicinity of the wooden house today.Thinking that his wooden house is here, he came to check the wooden house.

Looking at it, it was incredible, and it was found that a person lived in a wooden house.The surroundings and interior of the wooden house are full of rubbish.

It turned out that these rubbish were picked up by homeless people.Ready to sell to scrap collectors.

When Zhou Lin heard this, his heart moved!
One thing immediately occurred to him.

Will the three people who left go to someone else's house?
Of course, they won't be looking for someone to rent.Finding someone to rent a house will let people know that they are staying in Mudanjiang.

Why not rent without telling and rent for free?

No one rents your landlord's house, as long as it is not in front of you, the vacant house will definitely not go to see it.I usually live inside, and the doors are closed.Outsiders don't know who lives in this room.

As a result, the homeowner and outsiders thought that the house was unoccupied.Actually?There lived three big men.

After thinking it out, Zhou Lin immediately drove back to Tegao.

Zhou Lin once again called everyone to a meeting.

"Now, I give you a second mission."

The second task is to find out which house is not rented out among the ten vacant houses with rental information found before, but is occupied by people.

Zhou Lin told everyone that you can see from a distance, but not close.Approach will be found.

"Your task is to come back and report immediately when you find someone living in a vacant house. Understand?"

"understand!"

……

Wang Chaoyang took a person to the north of the city.

Over there, there are two vacant houses that are not rented out.

So, let him take a person to investigate.

This time, there were two houses in the east, west, south and north of the city, and two people went to each.In the city, a person went.Nine people went out.

One person was left to answer the phone in the office, while Zhou Lin was sent by Masao Kosaka to the Gendarmerie Command.Send sweet corn to Your Excellency the Commander
Sweet corn is one of Hokkaido's autumn delicacies.Its harvesting season is from August to September every year.

This freshly harvested and shipped sweet corn has a milky white appearance.This corn has a sweet taste, thin skin and almost no dregs, and a faint milky fragrance.The color is full, sweet and juicy, and the juice is sprayed with a bite!
People in Hokkaido eat this sweet corn raw.

The commander's wife saw the sweet corn and immediately ate it raw.

Nakazuo Tanaka sent Zhou Lin out.Hesitating, trying to say something.

Zhou Lin said, "Your Excellency Tanaka, do you need me to do anything?"

Tanaka finally spoke. "Kurata-kun. I want to sell a house in Tokyo and move my family from the countryside to Tokyo."

Zhou Lin hurriedly said: "That's a good thing!"

Tanaka said, "But I don't have that much money."

Zhou Lin said: "I have stayed in Tokyo for a while. I know that houses in Tokyo are very expensive. Each house costs tens of thousands of yen."

Tanaka smiled and said, "The price you mentioned is for the suburbs of Tokyo. In the city center, at least [-] yen is needed."

Zhou Lin said: "I don't have that much money, I have one or two thousand."

"I don't want to borrow money from you! I want you to help me."

"you say!"

"Can you ask Huang Sang to sell me a thousand kilograms of Sichuan soil?"

Zhou Lin knew it, and Tian Zhong really set his sights on Yantu.

"Your Excellency Tanaka, you know Huang Sang! Why don't you go to him directly."

"You can't go to him directly. He is Chinese, so it becomes me begging the Chinese to ask for business."

Zhou Lin understood: "You mean, let me go to Huang Sang and ask him to beg you?"

"Yes! In addition, this business cannot be known to others. Your Xuanshe doesn't allow it, and our Gendarmerie Command doesn't allow it either."

Zhou Lin nodded seriously: "I'll talk to Huang Sang. There should be no problem. But this batch of goods can't go to Suifenhe."

"Of course I can't go to the Suifen River. I want to go to the mouth of the Tumen River."

Zhou Lin agreed: "It's a good place, and you can trade when you go ashore by the sea. But is it safe there?"

"No problem! My cousin is the captain of the Hunchun Gendarmerie. Let him take people to pick up the goods at the mouth of the Tumen River. Who dares to rob the goods."

Zhou Lin reminded: "It is best to find the Soviets and sell them there. No one will know if they are not shipped back to Mudanjiang."

"Hmm! I'm going to contact my friends in the Soviet Union right away."

……

Zhou Lin returned to the main office, and the team members who stayed behind reported to him that several points in the east and south of the city had been checked.No one was found stealing.

Zhou Lin asked the team members to fetch a bottle of boiling water and prepare to make tea.

At this time, the phone rang.

The call was from Wang Chaoyang.

"Taijun! You are a god! It seems that you have seen them."

Zhou Lin was overjoyed, there is a result?

"Several people?"

Wang Chaoyang reported the situation of the trip. "When we approached the house, we smelled a bad smell from afar. I thought someone was defecating, but the fifth child who was with me smelled the smell, it was durian. I approached quietly and climbed a Rooftop, use binoculars to look at the house."

Zhou Lin asked: "What did you see?"
