Chapter 49 Information Traffickers
At this moment, beautiful music began to play in the banquet hall, and several couples were dancing in the open space in the center.
Shen Yi was no longer with Song Meiyu. He found a seat and began to enjoy the food by himself, while also admiring the dance performances from the Republican era.
"Hi, may I invite you to dance?"
A voice came, and Shen Yi looked up to see a blonde, blue-eyed woman extending her hand to him.
"It would be my honor," Shen Yi said with a smile.
After saying that, he got up, took the other person's hand, and walked to the center of the dance floor.
Shen Yi gently wrapped one arm around the other's slender waist and began to dance.
"My name is Lucy Carter. What's your name, sir?"
"Shen Yi," Shen Yi said, "Where is Miss Lucy from? Your Chinese is excellent."
"Thank you for the compliment. I'm American, and it took me a lot of effort to learn your language," Lucy said with a smile.
Shen Yi smiled without saying a word. It was perfectly normal for an intelligence officer to learn another country's language.
The moment he touched her hand, he saw a fragment of her memory, from which Shen Yi saw the process of Lucy's intelligence transaction.
Therefore, Shen Yi knew that the other party was probably an information broker, but he was still unsure whether the other party was an official or something else.
"Mr. Shen must have some extraordinary abilities to become Mrs. Song's beloved student. May I ask which department Mr. Shen works in?" Lucy asked.
"The Special Service Department," Shen Yi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Lucy's hand tightened and her body paused for a moment.
Seeing this, Shen Yi immediately grasped Xu Lou's hand and said with a smile, "Miss Lucy, don't get distracted while dancing, or you might fall."
Lucy smiled awkwardly upon hearing this, "Thank you, I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so honest."
She truly hadn't expected Shen Yi to be a member of the Special Service Department; her purpose in approaching him was simply because Shen Yi was Song Meiyu's student.
As an intelligence broker, she not only sells intelligence but also collects it.
Seeing how close Shen Yi and Song Meiyu were, she wanted to extract something from Shen Yi.
Unexpectedly, the other party saw through his purpose and may have even become suspicious of his identity.
"Honesty is a traditional Chinese virtue. Miss Lucy can't just learn Chinese; Chinese culture is the most profound and extensive," Shen Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lucy knew that Shen Yi had already seen through her identity, so she said, "I've learned something."
Since we can't find anything out of them, developing them into customers is a good option.
So she continued, "I usually work at Lihua Trading Company. If Mr. Shen needs anything, you can find me there."
"OK."
The music stopped, the dance was over, and Shen Yi bowed slightly to Lucy before walking away.
After the party ended, Shen Yi said goodbye to Song Meiyu and returned to the Special Service Department, where he planned to rest for the next few days.
. . . . . .
three days later.
Shen Yi was looking at the report recorded by Xia Guang.
Wang Qiang has spent most of his time in the grocery store these past few days, except for one trip to restock and another to the Central Hospital to change his medication.
There were no abnormalities during either of these outings.
The telecommunications department detected the radio signal the night before last, confirming that the radio station was located near Bell Lane.
However, many people went to the grocery store to buy things that day, and Xia Guang and the others did not know who had passed the information to Wang Qiang.
The customers that Shen Yi requested to focus on were all normal customers, from whom he could not obtain any information.
Shen Yi put down the report, already certain that Wang Qiang was just a radio operator.
As for the team leader, he should be the one who's missing a finger.
In the past few days, the managers of those rickshaw companies have also contacted me, saying they have found someone with those characteristics.
However, after Shen Yi arrived, he observed the group from a distance and noticed that their hands were somewhat different from the hands he remembered seeing in Wang Qiang's memory.
Therefore, Shen Yi has only confirmed Wang Qiang's identity and the location of the radio station, but still has no clue about the leader of this spy team.
He tapped the table lightly, wondering if he should try to contact Wang Qiang again to see if he could uncover more of his memories.
However, there is a certain probability that the ability will be triggered again, and Shen Yi is worried that he will not be able to see the other party's memories this time.
"Ring ring ring~"
As Shen Yi was thinking, the phone suddenly rang.
"Feed?"
"Qinhuai River Food Street? Okay, I got it, I'll head over now."
Shen Yi put down the phone. It was Deng San, the person in charge of the rickshaw company, who had just called to say that a rickshaw driver saw a vendor with a missing piece of his right little finger while buying something on the Qinhuai River food street.
He then walked out of his office and happened to see Liang Yu carrying a file folder walking towards him from a short distance away as he passed the archives.
Liang Yu thought Shen Yi had come to see her and said with some surprise, "Team Leader Shen? What brings you here?"
Shen Yi looked at Liang Yuzhong's file folder, then thought about where they were going later, and said:
"I told you last time I'd treat you to all the food on the Qinhuai River food street, and I happen to have some time today, so I thought I'd come over and ask if you're free."
Liang Yu was a little excited when she heard this. Ever since Shen Yi rejected her again last time, she had not invited him out to dinner.
As a girl, she also cared about her image, and she even felt that Shen Yi's previous invitation to her was just a polite gesture.
Now it seemed she had misunderstood Shen Yi, so she quickly said, "I have time, I have time. I'll go file this first. Wait for me."
After saying that, Liang Yu took the file bag and quickly went into the archives room. A little while later, she came out again.
"Let's go, I can't wait to eat something delicious," Liang Yu said.
"it is good."
. . . . . .
Qinhuai River Food Street.
Shen Yi parked the car and got out with Liang Yu.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Deng San and a driver standing by a phone booth not far away, so he said to Liang Yu:
"Wait a moment, I saw someone I know, I'll go say hello."
"Okay," Liang Yu replied.
Shen Yi then walked over to Deng San. Upon seeing Shen Yi, Deng San hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Young Master."
As he spoke, he pointed to the person next to him, "This is the coachman who was discovered."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi took out his wallet, pulled out fifty yuan, handed it to the rickshaw driver, and asked, "Which vendor?"
The rickshaw driver's mouth watered at the sight of the banknotes, and he quickly said, "It's a stall selling xiaolongbao in the middle of the street, and next to it is a stall selling stinky tofu."
"Okay, I'll go check it out in a bit. If it's the person I'm looking for, I'll give you a reward," Shen Yi said.
Upon hearing this, the driver quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."
Shen Yi nodded and told Deng San to take the driver back first. Then he returned to Liang Yu's side.
Suddenly, he noticed a new perfume scent on Liang Yu, a scent that seemed somewhat familiar to him.
"Are you wearing perfume?" Shen Yi asked.
