The Spy

Chapter 111 Wanting Revenge
In the office, Xu Qingyun put down his pen and rubbed his wrists. The case closing report was finally finished.

As before, the report first highlighted other people, such as Yan Ming, who went on field trips continuously this time, visiting Wuxing and Anqing, and was the first to find Pingchuan.

Fang Laibao gave timely reminders, provided a new direction for investigation, and ultimately solved the case.

The other three groups from the Intelligence Department came to help, including Hangzhou Station, Telecommunications Department, and my brother Xu Qingshi.

Their story was very detailed, but Xu Qingyun did not mention his own contribution.

"Qingyun, why isn't your role mentioned in the report?"

Xu Zhanjie saw the problems in the final report at a glance. He thought the student was good, very outstanding, and humble.

"Teacher, there is no need to write about me. No matter how many merits I have, they are useless now."

"You can't write nothing at all. Without you, how can this case be solved?"

Xu Zhanjie shook his head, took a pen to modify a few places, and asked Xu Qingyun to rewrite it. Finally, he took the case closing report to report to the director.

"Not bad, very good."

The director read it very carefully. This was the third time he had read Xu Qingyun's case report. Every case was so amazing.

This time the enemy was very cunning and poisoned Lu Dawang in advance, but still couldn't escape Xu Qingyun's pursuit.

The Military Intelligence Department needs such talents the most.

"Director, cousin Xu Qingyun helped a lot this time. Do you want to tell the police?"

"Of course we have to say that if they have made contributions, they should be rewarded. Give them the bonuses as soon as possible without delay."

The director nodded immediately, captured another Japanese spy, and found out the cause of the traitor's death.

Lu Dawang deserved to die. Hangzhou needs to make things clear in the future and not give students the opportunity to rest and go out again.

What are you going out for?

Just stay in school. They are receiving secret training with the help of the Police Academy. Now everyone knows that they are helping them train agents. Japanese spies even reached out to the school to instigate defectors. They kept a stupid secret.

"Thank you, Director."

Xu Zhanjie chuckled and said, the bonus this time is not small, but it is worth it to catch the Japanese spy, especially with the code book, which is what the old man wants.

You can apply for new funding at any time.

The old man is just like Virgo, he is willing to give money as long as there are results.

Xu Zhanjie left, but Secretary Qi stayed.

The director continued to read the case report and soon his face turned cold.

"Send a telegram to Cai Shifeng and give him half a month to find the traitor. We will never allow spies in our ranks."

"Yes, Virgo."

Secretary Qi lowered his head and accepted the order. Hangzhou Station was in trouble. This was the second time the director had said something similar. The traitor was causing too much damage. If we knew there was a traitor, we had to eliminate him.

If Xu Qingyun and his men had not acted quickly this time, the traitor might have succeeded.

As for He Ming, he is fine now.

He arrested the man in advance, and then personally apologized to the director before the case report was submitted.

His subordinate took the money indiscriminately, but fortunately no losses were caused. The director criticized him casually and did not pursue his responsibility any further.

However, the person who took the money suffered a miserable end, and the director directly ordered him to be shot.

Even Xu Zhanjie did not expect this result.

Chu Zuo hates traitors the most. In his mind, anyone who accepts money from the Japanese is already a traitor, regardless of whether he knows it or not.

Killing one person is a warning to the rest, so that everyone knows that they cannot reach out their hands carelessly, otherwise it may cost them their lives.

The entire department already knew about the Operations Division's affairs, and no one expected the director to be so ruthless. Although he was a bit ruthless, the effect was good. In the future, if someone who didn't know the details gave money, no one would dare to accept it.

As for the member of the Operations Division, many people felt sorry for him.

He lost his life for ten dollars.

Pingchuan didn’t give much the first time, just ten yuan.

In Tianjin, Wu Shaoshu received a report from the headquarters and laughed happily while holding the telegram.

"Well done Qingyun, you have made great contributions since arriving in Nanjing and have not brought shame to our Tianjin Station."

Xie Yongshan, who was beside him, already knew the contents of the report and said with a smile, "That's right. I think Team Leader Xu is better than anyone else in the headquarters. He is more than qualified to be the head of the intelligence department."

"Freeze said."

Wu Shaoshu suddenly glared at him and shouted sternly, "The intelligence chief cannot just be competent, his position in the director's heart is the most important."

Besides, Xu Zhanjie is Xu Qingyun's teacher. If this news gets to the headquarters, it will cause trouble for Xu Qingyun.

"Yes, stationmaster."

Xie Yongshan was shocked. Wu Shaoshu knew his temper. Fortunately, there were only two of them here, but he must never mention such things again.

"Send a telegram to Qingyun to congratulate him."

Wu Shaoshu warned Jie Yongshan and smiled again, saying that the better Xu Qingyun did in Nanjing, the more proud he would be.

Although he was Xu Zhanjie's student, no one could deny that Xu Qingyun was the first to join Tianjin Station and was the one who left Tianjin Station.

Before Xu Qingyun left, he was already the head of the intelligence team at Tianjin Station, which was enough to demonstrate his ability to know people and make good use of them.

Unfortunately, there are no Japanese spies lurking in Tianjin now. The Special High Section has a new chief and will definitely make more arrangements in the future. He is not in a hurry and will wait for the Japanese to come and catch them then.

No matter how many Japanese come, we will catch and kill them all.

Wu Shaoshu was happy, but Cai Shifeng had a headache.

The director called him and scolded him, demanding that he catch the traitor within a certain period of time, and that it must be a real traitor. If he dared to kill innocent people and take credit for it, or tortured them into confessing, he would be removed from his position as station chief.

Virgos understand the nature of their subordinates.

It is better not to catch a fake traitor.

It is indeed not easy to find the person within half a month. Cai Shifeng gave the task to Luan Tianhe and asked him to solve the case within a time limit.

The traitor must be found within ten days.

If he fails to do so, he will be removed from his position as head of the intelligence team.

Nanjing, Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun came to the large office.

After the case was over, Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming went back to continue their special training, leaving Fang Laibao and Yan Ming alone in the huge office.

The two were lying there chatting, and when they saw Xu Qingyun come in, they quickly stood up.

"Team leader."

"Sit down."

Xu Qingyun waved his hand and sat down casually beside him. Their personnel had not been fully supplemented yet and it was still an empty shell, but the reputation of Intelligence Group 4 had already spread.

Before the conspiracy was actually established, the traitor case was uncovered and two Japanese spies were arrested.

Xu Qingyun is indeed powerful, no wonder he was able to arrest so many people in Tianjin.

"Fang Laibao, go to the General Affairs Office to collect our bonus, and then give one thousand dollars to my brother."

The reward came, a total of 2,500 yuan, and Xu Zhanjie handed it all over to Xu Qingyun to arrange.

First, he went to Xu Qingshi's side and gave them one thousand yuan, letting his brother divide it himself without asking any questions.

This time, six people from the other three groups of the Intelligence Department came to help. We cannot let them down, so each of them will be rewarded with 100 oceans. As for their merits, I have already reported them for them, and they will probably be promoted to a higher rank next time.

After all, it is a case of traitor, and Virgo will not publicize it in a big way, so it will be difficult to get promoted this time.

Two people from the Telecommunications Department also helped this time and were rewarded fifty dollars each.

Yan Ming, Fang Laibao, Zuo Jinfang and Zheng Jiming were all his direct subordinates, and each of them was rewarded with 100 oceans. Fang Laibao was rewarded an additional 50 as a reward for his timely reminder.

Xu Qingyun didn't take the rest, and kept it as a small treasury for Intelligence Group 4, which could be used whenever needed. "Team leader, where are we going?"

After get off work, Xu Qingyun took Yan Ming and Fang Laibao for a stroll outside the Military Intelligence Department.

"Where do you think Lu Dawang would hide the things?" Xu Qingyun asked casually.

He wanted to find the deposit certificate that Lu Dawang had hidden. Lu Dawang was dead, and Pingchuan didn't get his things. Since it was not in Lu Dawang's name, it was most likely an anonymous deposit certificate.

This type of deposit certificate can be used to withdraw money as long as you have the receipt.

"It must be somewhere hidden, or buried."

Yan Ming responded first. He understood what the team leader meant. He was targeting Lu Dawang's wealth.

Lu Dawang’s family has sent someone to deal with it.

All land purchased with money from the Japanese must be handed over.

House raids are essential.

Poor his younger brothers and sisters, they have just started school for a short time and they may have to drop out again.

There is nothing they can do about it, since their brother became a traitor and betrayed their ancestors and the country.

"Team leader, the area is too large and it's hard to find."

Fang Laibao shook his head and said that it was indeed a pity that the money was lost, but looking for a small hidden item in such a large area was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Team leader, he definitely won't hide in a crowded place."

Yan Ming said again that there were many residents near the Military Intelligence Department, so places with heavy traffic could be ruled out first.

"What then?" Xu Qingyun asked as they walked.

"Lu Dawang is extremely greedy for money. This is all his wealth. He must have hidden it in a place no one can imagine or find. I don't think he buried it underground."

"Why?" Xu Qingyun looked at Yan Ming.

"If it's buried shallowly, it will be easy for someone to dig it out. If it's buried deep, the traces will be too obvious. Besides, he hid it during the day, so there was very little time to dig a hole, unless he dug it in advance."

Yan Ming replied that what he said made sense. Xu Qingyun was most worried that Lu Dawang would bury him somewhere underground and cover it up, making it the most difficult to find.

"If it were you, where would you hide the things?"

Xu Qingyun continued to ask, Yan Ming was stunned. If it were him, there would be many places to hide.

Except for underground, some unnoticed corners, roofs, and even sewers, as long as the things are not big, there will be no problem as long as they are waterproofed.

"Look slowly."

Xu Qingyun smiled. Yan Ming had a lot of clever ideas, so all the places he mentioned were possible.

The range is more than one kilometer in radius, so it is very difficult to find a small hidden thing. I walked for more than an hour but found nothing.

Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry.

Military Intelligence Department, the traitor case has been concluded, but the impact is huge.

Two days later, Xu Zhanjie reported the punishment for Gong Zhaolin.

Because Gong Zhaolin made a mistake that caused the Japanese spy to escape, he could escape the death penalty, but he could not escape punishment for being alive. Xu Zhanjie wanted to send him to Lanzhou Station.

"exile?"

After reading the report, the director looked up, and his cold eyes made Xu Zhanjie's heart tighten.

"Director, he didn't come into contact with the Japanese spies simply because he trusted Lu Dawang too much..."

"How did he memorize the confidentiality agreement?"

Before Xu Zhanjie could finish his speech, he was interrupted by the director. Xu Zhanjie did not say anything else as he had already anticipated Gong Zhaolin's fate.

He did not sympathize with Gong Zhaolin, he was simply afraid that the commander was too strict in military discipline and that they must not be careless in the future, otherwise no matter how great their achievements were, they would be useless.

"Gong Zhaolin leaked secrets, causing the Japanese spy to escape. He is guilty of capital punishment. This order is issued to the entire department. Everyone must remember the confidentiality regulations from now on. Anyone who leaks secrets again will be killed without mercy."

The director said coldly, and sure enough, he did not spare Gong Zhaolin.

His death was somewhat unjust, but not completely innocent. The people in his group were responsible for investigating Japanese spies. If he had not leaked the intelligence, the spies would never have escaped and might have even gained greater results.

All this because he had lost it completely.

"Yes, Virgo."

Xu Zhanjie took the order and left. Within a few days, the director had already executed two people internally.

This time the order was to kill without mercy. Within just one month, the director had issued two different orders to kill without mercy.

At this time, they finally deeply felt that the intelligence department was different from others.

You must not make any mistakes here, otherwise your life may be over at any time.

Time passed slowly, and there was nothing to do in Intelligence Group 4. Xu Zhanjie suddenly became interested and finally started to teach his student Xu Qingyun seriously.

He teaches everything he can, including the basics.

The only thing he doesn’t teach is how to solve a case.

Xu Qingyun is better than him in this area, so there is no need to teach him.

Yan Ming and Fang Laibao ran out every day, searching everywhere for the things that Lu Dawang had hidden. Gong Zhaolin was already dead, and it didn't matter that Lu Dawang was greedy for money. He not only killed himself, but also implicated two people.

Especially Gong Zhaolin, someone invited him to dinner, but he spent money and lost his life because of the meal.

In the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou, Daejeon walked into the office.

"Section Chief, the insider said that the Hangzhou station is now under strict inspection. He dare not move for fear of exposure. According to the news from the Nanjing headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department, the person who arrested Pingchuan was Xu Qingyun, the new head of the fourth intelligence group. It is said that he is a student of Xu Zhanjie."

Hangzhou is not Nanjing, and their insiders cannot find out the real situation.

Datian didn't dare to push too hard.

This is the only information we can get at the moment. Nanbu Shunzhi raised his head and said, "Xu Qingyun, the one from Tianjin?"

"That's right. After Lu Dawang died, Xu Zhanjie personally went to Tianjin to pick him up and set up the fourth intelligence group for him. It seems that Pingchuan is in his hands this time."

Datian nodded, they knew about what happened in Tianjin.

The Tianjin Special High Section suffered heavy losses, all its undercover teams were wiped out, and even the intelligence team leader was captured by the Military Intelligence Department.

Section Chief Taro Tanimura returned to the headquarters to report on his work, but was thrown into jail as soon as he arrived and has not been released since.

"This Xu Qingyun will definitely be a hidden danger to the empire in the future."

Nanbu narrowed his eyes, Datian lowered his head and whispered: "Section Chief, do you want to send someone to get rid of him?"

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the detailed reasons, at least you know who the enemy is.

Pingchuan was his trusted subordinate, and he said this because he wanted to avenge Pingchuan.

"No need, report it to the Shanghai Special High Section and let them handle it."

Nanbu shook his head. They were in Hangzhou, and it would not be easy to go to Nanjing to assassinate someone, let alone kill an agent.

The rank of Hangzhou Special High Section is not as high as that of Tianjin and Shanghai, and the section chief, Toshiharu Nambu, is only a lieutenant colonel.

They are under dual management from Shanghai and headquarters.

Because they are directly under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, they are relatively independent and the Shanghai Special High Section cannot fully command them.

It is somewhat similar to the relationship between the county bureau and the municipal bureau in later generations.

"Hay."

Datian immediately understood what the section chief meant. Killing people was not that easy. Xu Qingyun had arrested so many of them, which was already a big threat. What they could not do, they let Shanghai do.

If they succeed, they can avenge Pingchuan; if they fail, it is not their responsibility.
